Chapter 258: Bringing up old matters again, Zhou Chen gets angry
"Wait."
Qiao Yingzi trotted up from behind and caught up, "You left very early today. This is not like your style."
Because it was close to the school and the class control was not strict, Zhou Chen and Fang Yifan both started late. Most of the time, they arrived at school in a hurry, and Lin Lei'er and Lin Lei'er were also the same.
And Qiao Yingzi was woken up on time by her mother every day to wash, eat, and go to school. This should have been Qiao Yingzi's initiative, but in fact it was arranged properly by her mother.
Zhou Chen smiled and asked Qiao Yingzi: "You got eighth place in the exam this time. Your mother must be in trouble for you, right?"
"you still need to ask?"
Qiao Yingzi glared at Zhou Chen angrily. Now her good friends knew about her family's situation, so if she had any grievances, she would tell them all.
"My mother hasn't given me a good look these days, and I don't dare to provoke her. Oh, Zhou Chen, I really envy you."
"Why do you envy me? Do you have no father or mother?"
"Go away, you can't say something nice."
Qiao Yingzi rolled her eyes, then looked at Fang Yifan and asked, "Fang Hou, what's wrong with you? Why do you look more decadent than me? What's wrong?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "He is the same as you because of the results of the midterm exam. The difference is that you had a cold war with your mother, while he had a big fight with his mother."
Qiao Yingzi showed a sympathetic expression, and the eldest sister patted Fang Yifan on the shoulder.
"Fang Hou, you are still so powerful that you dare to quarrel with your mother, but haven't your grades always been stable? Why did Aunt Tong get angry this time?"
Fang Yifan replied angrily: "Why else? I'm just afraid that I won't be able to go to college. I really don't understand what these parents think. Who stipulates that I have to go to college? Isn't it okay if I can't go to college?"
Is there no way out?"
Listening to Fang Yifan's innocent question, Zhou Chen chuckled and said: "No one says that there is no way out if you can't go to college, but people who go to college will definitely have more ways out than those who don't go to college, most of them.
"
"?"
Fang Yifan looked at Zhou Chen with a question mark on his face: "Zhou Chen, whose side are you on? Both Yingzi and I were bullied by my mother, and you still help them speak up, are you still brothers?"
"Besides, what qualifications do you have to say such a thing? Are you just a rich second generation or a super rich second generation? Does it make any difference to you whether you go to college or not?"
Zhou Chen: "So, don't compare yourself to me. People like me, who have a future regardless of whether they go to college or not, are studying hard. After passing the fourth grade exam, do you still have the right not to study hard?"
"What the hell..."
Fang Yifan was speechless.
Qiao Yingzi looked at Fang Yifan with caring eyes, "Fang Hou, if you argue with him, you are really asking for trouble."
"Cousin, Zhou Chen, Yingzi, the time is almost up. If we don't hurry up, we will be late."
Lin Leier suddenly said weakly.
"Oh, yes, I'm going to be late, hurry up."
During the morning reading class, Zhou Chen was called to the office by Pan Shuai. In addition to Pan Shuai, there was also Li Meng in the office.
"Zhou Chen, I called you over. Teacher Li has something to ask you." Pan Shuai pointed at Li Meng and said.
"oh."
Zhou Chen nodded, then looked at Li Meng and asked, "Teacher Li, what do you want from me?"
Li Meng is still the same as always, with clean and tidy clothes and a serious expression. Although she is not old, she does have the aura of a grade leader.
"Zhou Chen, you did very well in the midterm exam this time. It only took you two months to go from the last place in your grade to the fourth grade now. This fully demonstrates your huge potential, so I
We decided to transfer you to the sprint class."
Upon hearing that Li Meng wanted to transfer him to the sprint class, Zhou Chen quickly shook his head and refused: "No, Teacher Li, I am doing well in the basic class. I prefer the atmosphere of the basic class, so I still stay in the basic class.
You should reserve your spots in the sprint class for other people who need them."
"Hey, you kid, why are you talking like that? The sprint class is the best class in the third grade of high school. The target is Mizuki, Beijing University. You have this potential. Why don't you want to enter the sprint class and insist on staying in the basic class?"
Li Meng was very dissatisfied. Zhou Chen had made such rapid progress. There were still about seven months left before the college entrance examination. As long as Zhou Chen worked harder, he might be able to get the top prize by then.
So when she heard that Zhou Chen didn't want to go to the sprint class, but just wanted to stay in the basic class, she felt anxious.
Zhou Chen said: "Teacher Li, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I just like the atmosphere of the basic class. If you insist on letting me go to the sprint class, my test results may not be as good as those in the basic class."
"The sprint class is filled with the best students. After you go there, there will be greater competitive pressure. This pressure will push you forward. If you go to the sprint class, you will definitely make greater progress than if you stay in the basic class.
"
Although teachers should treat students equally, good students and poor students must have different positions in the teacher's mind.
In Li Meng's eyes, the basic class is definitely not as good as the sprint class, so she eagerly hopes that Zhou Chen can join the sprint class.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Li, I really don't want to go to the sprint class. If you insist on transferring me to the sprint class, then I will have to apply for home study."
"What's your attitude?"
"Teacher Li, although you are a teacher, you can't force students."
Zhou Chen's attitude is also very firm. It's not that he doesn't like the sprint class, but that the sprint class is really strict and Li Meng is in charge.
Li Meng has a strong sense of responsibility, which is a good thing for others, but not for him.
If he enters the sprint class, it will definitely be difficult for him to be distracted from doing other things during school.
But it was different for him in the basic class. After Pan Shuai learned about his academic performance, he no longer found fault with him. Even if he was distracted by something or did other things, he would turn a blind eye or close one eye.
.
It's not that Pan Shuai has no sense of responsibility, but Zhou Chen's two major exams and the usual small tests fully demonstrated his learning ability, so he did this.
Seeing that Li Meng and Zhou Chen were arguing again, Pan Shuai quickly stepped forward to stop them. She knew Li Meng's temper.
As for Zhou Chen, even though he was a student, he was not afraid of the teacher at all when he first got up, so when he saw that the two men were showing signs of antagonism, he stood up to stop them as soon as possible.
Li Meng snorted: "I'm not angry, Teacher Pan, look at the good students you teach."
Pan Shuai quickly scolded Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, why are you talking to the teacher? Students must respect the teacher. This is the basic attitude. You go back to the classroom to reflect on it first."
Zhou Chen instantly understood what Pan Shuai meant and said, "Then I'll leave first, Teacher Pan."
Watching Zhou Chen leave, Li Meng was still angry.
"Teacher Pan, what's going on with Zhou Chen? In just two months, he went from last in grade to fourth in grade now. Especially in English and Physics, he almost got full marks and can participate in national competitions.
Already."
"Tell me, he obviously has such potential, but he just stays in the basic class all day long. How do you, the class teacher, do ideological education?"
Pan Shuai said helplessly: "Teacher Li, that's because you don't understand him. This kid is not a good person. He has his own opinions. He will not accept the teacher's arrangements at all. As for participating in the national competition you mentioned,
I think you should stop having such thoughts."
"Why?"
Li Meng asked in confusion: "In some competitions organized by the country, if you win a prize, you will get extra points in the college entrance examination."
Pan Shuai shook his head and said: "Zhou Chen doesn't care about this at all. This kid is very capable. In two months, he went from last to fourth, and he is not as hardworking as the students in the sprint class, which shows that he
His IQ and ability are very strong, so whether his academic performance is good or not depends on whether he is willing to learn."
"What's more important is that this kid's family is extremely wealthy. To put it bluntly, even if he can't get into college, he may have a better future than those college students who went to Beijing University, Mizuki. In this case, do you think he would care about going?
If you don't go to the sprint class, will you care about whether you can get extra points in the college entrance examination?"
"What you are saying are all fallacies."
Li Meng strongly disagreed with Pan Shuai's statement: "The college entrance examination is for himself. No matter how rich his family is, it is earned by his parents. It has nothing to do with him. Only when he has learned the knowledge in his own stomach can it be regarded as his own."
A good university can enrich his horizons and increase his abilities, which is completely different from whether his family has money."
"Yes, what you said makes sense, but Zhou Chen is used to being independent. If you do it for his own good, he may not appreciate it, and he may find you annoying. If he wants to stay in the basic class, just let him stay.
At most, we'll see how his final exam scores are after a while. If the decline is serious, it won't be too late to find a way to move him into a sprint class next semester."
Pan Shuai saw that he could not persuade Li Meng, so he could only change his strategy and use another method of persuasion.
Li Meng thought for a while and felt that what Pan Shuai said made sense. Looking at Zhou Chen's next test results, if there was a regression, she would have to take measures. If instead of regressing, she continued to improve, then she
It was up to Zhou Chen to make his own choice.
"Zhou Chen, I have a question I really want to ask you."
During the break between classes, Zhou Chen and Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao were sitting in the rest area chatting. Suddenly Qiao Yingzi asked Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen: "What's the question? Just ask it."
Qiao Yingzi asked: "You said that you have improved so quickly in other subjects, but why have you improved so quickly in English? You are almost full marks. Doesn't English rely on accumulation?"
Zhou Chen: "English does require accumulation, but there is another kind of person who is gifted and can learn anything quickly."
"Hey, just brag. I seriously doubt that you always came last in exams on purpose. Just so you can become famous in your senior year of high school."
"Then what kind of acting skills do I have to have to be able to act for such a long time? I just didn't want to learn it before, but now I want to learn it. With my super high IQ, it will be easy for me to get to the top of the exam."
"I said a few words to you, and you started to feel proud."
Qiao Yingzi and Zhou Chen were laughing and joking, and time passed quickly.
Huang Zhitao lay aside watching and listening. Ever since the last incident of falling into the water, she had an inexplicable emotion towards Zhou Chen. Every time she saw Zhou Chen, she would think of what happened at that time, which was very awkward.
Since she was so old, Zhou Chen was the first boy to have close contact with her, so even after many days, she still hasn't completely let go.
After chatting with Zhou Chen for a while, Qiao Yingzi suddenly said to him: "Zhou Chen, I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time. Why don't you go over there and play the piano for us?"
Zhou Chen asked with a half-smile, "What music are you listening to, dedicated to Qiao Yingzi?"
Qiao Yingzi has gradually become accustomed to Zhou Chen's more and more teasing, so she replied calmly: "If you say call me this name, then call me this name."
Qiao Yingzi pushed Zhou Chen towards the piano, and Zhou Chen did not refuse her. He walked to the piano, pondered for a while, and then started playing.
The sweet sound of the piano rang out, quickly attracting the attention of all the students who came to the rest area. They all quickly gathered over to listen to Zhou Chen's playing.
The song, which lasted only a few minutes, was played quickly, and the students around him gave him warm applause.
Chunfeng Middle School is a key high school in the district. Most of the students here come here to take the college entrance examination. Students like Zhou Chen who can play such good music are really unique.
However, after Zhou Chen finished playing, everyone left in twos and threes. After all, it was not an art school. Everyone just thought it sounded good and had not risen to the level of art.
"Zhou Chen, you are really getting better and better at pretending."
Fang Yifan said sourly to Zhou Chen who came over. Just now he saw so many girls staring at Zhou Chen excitedly, and he was extremely envious.
Qiao Yingzi chuckled and said: "Fang Hou, if you have the ability, you can go up and pretend."
Fang Yifan looked at Qiao Yingzi with disdain: "Yingzi, you haven't become a family yet, have you already started to unite to fight against me?"
Zhou Chen: "Fang Hou, sooner or later you will die from your mouth."
"It doesn't matter whether I die or not. What's important is that your song to Qiao Yingzi is really nice. If I were at your level, I would definitely have no trouble picking up girls."
"Zhou Chen, why don't you take some time to teach me how to play the piano?"
Fang Yifan was not entirely joking, he really envied Zhou Chen's ability. If he could be as good as Zhou Chen, he would laugh just thinking about it.
"Fang Hou, just forget it. If Zhou Chen wants to teach, he should teach me first." Wang Yidi suddenly came over and said to Fang Yifan.
Fang Yifan scolded angrily: "Wang Yidi, why are you everywhere? Zhou Chen is already famous, can you stop pestering him?"
Wang Yidi retorted: "I just asked him to teach me how to play the piano, and he didn't do anything shameful. Is it your turn to take care of it?"
Fang Yifan said disdainfully: "Of course I am too lazy to care about you, but Zhou Chen is my brother and Yingzi is also my buddy. The two of them are destined to be together. I can't let you, a catfish spirit, come out to cause trouble."
"Fang Hou, what are you talking about? You are the catfish spirit." Wang Yidi shouted angrily.
"Cousin, stop arguing, Zhou Chen has left."
Looking at Fang Yifan and Wang Yidi who were still arguing, Lin Lei'er's weak voice rang out.
Fang Yifan and Wang Yidi quickly looked back, and sure enough, Zhou Chen and Qiao Yingzi had walked more than ten meters away.
Fang Yifan pointed at Wang Yidi: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, so don't follow me again."
Zhou Chen was just about to get a glass of water when suddenly Big Bear ran over holding his cell phone.
"Zhou Chen, look, the person dancing in this video is you, right?"
Daxiong pointed the phone screen at Zhou Chen. This was the interface of the Kuaiyin app, and a scene of a man wearing short sleeves dancing was playing on it.
When Qiao Yingzi saw it, she was shocked and said: "It's really you, Zhou Chen. Isn't this what happened before we started school?"
Huang Zhitao also saw it clearly: "Yes, it was that time, but how come your dancing video was uploaded to Kuaiyin?"
Qiao Yingzi: "It must have been that time when someone filmed him dancing and then uploaded it. I looked at it and it has more than three million likes and more than 30,000 comments."
Daxiong said: "Yes, you are so awesome, Zhou Chen. I didn't expect that in addition to playing the piano well, you are also so awesome at dancing."
Fang Yifan and Lin Lei'er squeezed over and asked curiously: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Daxiong immediately gave his phone to Fang Yifan, "Fang Hou, look, Zhou Chen's video went viral."
Fang Yifan quickly took it and recognized it at a glance. Then he clicked on the comment and read it carefully.
The comment area was filled with a series of compliments, some praising Zhou Chen for being a good dancer, some praising Zhou Chen for being handsome, and some praising Zhou Chen for having a good figure, all kinds of weird comments.
Of course, in addition to compliments, there are also many haters, all kinds of trolls, saying that the dance machine is simple, saying that Zhou Chen is deliberately hyping it up, etc.
Wang Yidi also followed behind to join in the fun. After she saw Zhou Chen's dancing video, she shouted in surprise: "Zhou Chen, you can play the piano, write music, and dance. If you go to participate in the art
If you take the exam, with your grades, you will definitely be admitted to the best art school in Yanjing."
"Art exam?"
Fang Yifan originally wanted to continue to criticize a few words, but when he suddenly heard about the art test, he suddenly asked strangely: "What is the art test?"
Seeing Fang Yifan's confused look, Wang Yidi was extremely proud.
"No, Fang Hou, you don't even know about the art exam? Are you too ignorant?"
Fang Yifan didn't want to give Wang Yidi a chance to be proud, but he was really curious, so he asked Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, you know a lot. You must know what the art test is, right?"
Zhou Chen didn't bother to explain, "Wang Yidi is about to take the art exam. She knows more than me. Just ask her. I'm not interested in the art exam, so I'll go back to the classroom first."
Of course he knows what the art exam is, but he has never studied the art exam, so he doesn't know much about what the exam is and when it will be taken.
With his ability, it would be easy to take the art exam, but he is not prepared to take the art route in this world, so he has no interest in the art exam.
Seeing Zhou Chen leaving, Fang Yifan could only ask Wang Yidi: "Wang Yidi, tell me, what is the art test and what is the art test?"
Wang Yidi became even more proud. She raised her head and said, "Then let me explain to you, this art test is..."
