Chapter 138 Being too low-key is not modest

Yu Lin was busy with the company registration procedures, but it would take some time to complete them. Without employees and an office location, the business could not be conducted. Zhang Yunqi was very upset, so he left the tasks of finding an office location and recruiting employees to Zhang Qiulan and Wang Guibing, as he did not have much time. The company had just begun to be established, and the midterm exams for the second half of the second year of high school were already approaching.

During the self-study class in the afternoon before the midterm exam, when the class was almost over, Jiang Lihua arranged the exam preparation in class and repeatedly emphasized on the podium that the results of this midterm exam were very important and would affect the division of liberal arts and science classes in the next semester.

His words made the atmosphere in the class extremely tense, and everyone was in a panic.

The second half of the second year of high school is already halfway through, and everyone has grown from rookies to mid-level players. On weekdays, many are lazy and many skip classes to play games, but when it comes to class placement, everyone has their own ideas, but in the final analysis, what class you will be assigned to still depends on your grades.

Except for the top students in front of Chu Jian and Zhang Yunqi, the rest of Class 168 are just losers. The overall average score of the class can only be described as miserable. But no matter how lazy a person is, he or she will know that they should try their best at this time. Even if their mind is not on studying, it is very necessary to prepare some notes in advance.

I have to say that Chinese students are the most miserable and most likely to fail among all the students in the world, because they face the most brutal exams in the world, they have to compete all the time, failure is everywhere, life is so hopeless, this is the reality! But what can you do? You won’t drown if you fall into the water, but you will drown if you stay in the water. The only way out is to swim, swim at full speed with the passion of cannon.

Zhang Yunqi was a herder for a while, but he was not careless about his studies. Except for taking a few days off to go to Xiangshan, he never missed any classes. Perhaps it was because he had the intelligence of an adult and a lot of experience before loading the game, his logical thinking and way of looking at problems were incomparable to his peers. Coupled with the vigorous energy of adolescence, he really learned twice the result with half the effort. He basically finished all the knowledge points of the first year of high school.

Of course, there will be many difficulties that cannot be solved.

At this time, he would ask Chu Jian or the teacher for advice, trying every way to understand it thoroughly, incorporate it into the whole framework and memorize it repeatedly. He must make sure that as soon as he thinks of this knowledge point, it will appear clearly in his mind, just like Amy Yip without clothes, magnificent.

The examination halls of Jiangchuan No. 35 Middle School are still arranged according to grades. For this exam, Zhang Yunqi's examination hall was directly moved up from Examination Hall 3, which was full of poor students, to Examination Hall , which was full of top students. Eighty percent of the students here were top students from key classes in science-level classes, and they had basically reserved admission to key undergraduate programs. The remaining small group of people were all like Zhang Yunqi, who were the top students in ordinary classes.

On April 4th, the midterm exam arrived as scheduled.

The first exam was Chinese. After finishing the whole test, Zhang Yunqi felt that he had performed very well. Basically, there were no questions that he could not answer. It was probably because he had a good sleep quality last night and did not dream about his old lover Angelina Jolie.

After finishing the entire test paper, Zhang Yunqi checked it over and over again. It would be a pity to lose points due to carelessness, and he would not make such a low-level mistake. He did not hand in the paper and leave the examination room until the bell for collecting the test papers rang. After going out, he met Chu Jian who was waiting for him in the corridor.

Chu Jian's grades were among the top ten in the school. He was in Examination Room 1, which was diagonally opposite Examination Room 3. All the students in that room were legends, all perverts who studied hard.

Because the examination rooms were close to each other, Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian came together in the morning, so Chu Jian was waiting for him in the corridor. The two chatted for a while about the difficulty of the Chinese test paper, and then went downstairs to the fish meal shop for lunch.

In the past, in order to take care of the business of the fish meal shop, Zhang Yunqi usually had lunch at 1:30. But Zhang's mother knew that today was the midterm exam, and when there were no customers in the shop at around 11 o'clock, she cooked with Chu Jian's mother Jiang Feng and prepared a hearty lunch for Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian.

During the meal, as expected, Aunt Zhang asked them how they did on the exam.

Chu Jian said, "It's just okay, Aunt Zhang."

Zhang Yunqi said: "I did very well in the exam."

Zhang Ma laughed and said, "Why are you so immodest?"

Zhang Yunqi picked up a piece of braised fish with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth: "Mom, are you saying that I am not humble, or that Chu Jian is not humble? If you are talking about Chu Jian, I can help you criticize her. She did so well in the exam, but she said she was average. What's that? Being too low-key is not humble!" Jiang Feng, who was sitting next to them, laughed.

Chu Jian rolled his eyes, which was rare, and put a piece of fried loach that Zhang Yunqi liked to eat in his bowl and said, "Eat more."

Zhang Ma found that her son was becoming more and more slick-tongued: "What about you?"

Zhang Yunqi ate a loach and said, "Me? That's not true. I did well in the exam. Besides, when have I ever embarrassed you in an exam?"

There is nothing wrong with what you said.

Mother Zhang wanted to educate Zhang Yunqi but she had no chance. It seemed that even though her son was a top student, he also had troubles.

After dinner, it was only half past twelve, when the fish meal shop was doing a booming business. Aunt Zhang, Jiang Feng and eldest brother Zhang Yunfeng became busy. Aunt Zhang asked Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian to go to school to rest for a while and prepare for the afternoon exam.

There was still a long time before the exam and the examination room had not yet opened. Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian came to the corridor of the examination room. He lay on the railing to bask in the early summer sun, while Chu Jian was beside him, reviewing a physics textbook for the afternoon exam.

Zhang Yunqi was a little bored. Looking at Chu Jian who was reading a physics book seriously, he couldn't help but say, "I remember that you have already decided to study liberal arts in your second year of high school. Why are you still so concerned about science? You don't have to take the college entrance examination. You only need 60 points to pass the exam next semester. With your level, it's easy to pass."

The first year of high school is about to be divided into arts and science classes. Many first-year high school students have already decided which subject they want to choose. Therefore, students who choose science will take the initiative to give up arts and focus more on the six subjects of Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry and biology. Vice versa.

Time in high school is very precious. It is not easy to learn all nine subjects thoroughly, and there is no need to do so. China's education is exam-oriented, and grades are king. It is a wise choice to give up three subjects that are not required in the college entrance examination.

Chu Jian looked up at Zhang Yunqi, drew a red line with a red pen at a point she thought was important, and said, "This attitude is not good."

Zhang Yunqi said happily: "Why is it not good?"

Chu Jian put away his pen, tucked his hair behind his ears, and then looked into Zhang Yunqi's eyes and said, "Studying is for usefulness, and exams are just incidental. Even if the content may not be used in our daily lives, and we may forget it, its theoretical logic has been integrated into our thinking, so no matter how much we learn, it should be beneficial to our lives."

Zhang Yunqi felt that what Chu Jian said made a lot of sense and there was nothing wrong with it, but it was too idealistic and did not conform to the reality of China's exam-oriented education. It was like I wanted to sleep with Fan Bingbing, but at night I could only hug a yellow-faced woman with no breasts or buttocks, who was painted with a layer of varnish and could be used as a mirror.

Of course, others couldn't do it, but at least the girl in front of him did it. This was what made people look at her at first sight. Zhang Yunqi didn't want to argue with this silly girl who looked weak but was stubborn on the inside. He nodded and said, "That makes sense. My realm is too low."

Chu Jian was stunned for a moment. She looked at Zhang Yunqi with clear eyes and said seriously, "How can you say that about yourself? People are different. One principle is suitable for many people, but not for everyone. I think that compared with high school students of the same age, you already have mature thinking and worldview. The knowledge in high school textbooks may not be of much use to you. It's like a child who needs to learn to know that one plus one equals two, but you not only already know that one plus one equals two, but also know how to solve advanced math problems."

Zhang Yunqi was so happy: "Stop, stop. If you continue, I will blush."

"I'm not praising you." Chu Jian smiled with the corners of her mouth pursed. In the warm sunshine of the early summer afternoon, her white and transparent little face was as pure as a green lotus.
