Chapter 179 Spring Breeze
Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Powder Shop of No. 2 Middle School in the city was finally completed before the start of school.

On the first day of school, Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Powder Store No. 550 Middle School and No. 5 Middle School Store held a promotional event for the new students. Zhang Yunqi asked Wang Xiaokai to find a student who distributed flyers part-time. Zhang Yunfeng also made a banner and hung it next to the school gate, which stated the content of the event: "Freshmen who scored more than points in the high school entrance examination can have fish powder at Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Powder Store for cents with their transcripts!"

The No. 550 and No. 1 Middle Schools in the city are among the best key high schools in the city. There are so many freshmen who scored more than 2 points in the high school entrance examination, but the activity only lasts for three days. In addition, the discounts are quite large. At that time, the price of a bowl of noodles was mostly between 5 and yuan. A bowl of fish noodles at cents was a discounted price, so there would be a lot of people participating. In order to prevent someone from using transcripts to cheat and eat and drink, and coming back repeatedly to eat, Zhang Yunqi specially asked Zhang Yunfeng to arrange a part-time student to register names and grades at the door.

Zhang Yunfeng felt that this would affect efficiency and said, "Isn't it too few people to register? The speed is too slow."

Zhang Yunqi said, "It's just one person, it's okay to go slowly."

Zhang Yunfeng thought for a long time before he figured out what Zhang Yunqi meant.

Indeed, it’s okay to go slow.

At noon on the first day of school, after the banner was put up, there were so many people that the part-time person in charge of registration could not handle it. The freshmen who wanted to participate in the event and eat noodles had to line up. A very long queue was formed. The scene was quite spectacular, especially for its eye-catching effect. Many people followed suit due to the herd mentality. Of course, there were also some who were impatient or disdainful of the discounts, and they just paid for the food at the door or chose to eat at other restaurants.

There wasn't enough seating in the fish meal shop, so most people packed their meals and took them back to school. That afternoon, when class was about to start, Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian went back to school together. When they passed by several freshman classrooms, they could smell the strong smell of fish meal.

Chu Jian said, "This promotion and the random draw were your ideas, right?"

Zhang Yunqi laughed and said, "Is this something to be proud of?"

Chu Jian pursed his lips and said, "I'm proud."

In the afternoon, teachers of various subjects came on stage one by one. The English teacher was a female teacher in her twenties named Luo Lin. She looked very good, especially her figure. She was tall and had a round figure. She dressed very fashionably and sexy in a black professional suit. Wang Xiaokai stared at her for half the class.

Luo Lin was good in class, she was gentle, confident and generous, and her voice was pleasant, which made Zhang Yunqi feel inexplicably fond of this class that he hated, and he was not sleepy at all. However, halfway through the class, Zhang Yunqi suddenly found that there was an old acquaintance in Class 156, Liu Zicheng, who was chatting and having fun with a few boys who looked more aggressive. Luo Lin saw it all the time, but her expression was normal and she didn't say anything.

After class, Luo Lin collected the lesson plans and asked, "Which student is Zhang Yunqi?"

Zhang Yunqi was stunned for a moment, then stood up.

Luo Lin glanced at him and said, "Come out with me for a moment."

The first class was called into the teacher's office, which was quite creepy. Zhang Yunqi left the classroom under everyone's gaze and walked through the corridor to the English office. There were no other teachers in the office. It was very quiet, and there was a faint atmosphere floating in the air. Luo Lin had a smile on her intellectual face. After pouring a glass of water for Zhang Yunqi and letting him sit on the chair opposite, she said, "This is your first class today. How do you feel?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "Very good."

The first words of the boy in front of him seemed to give Luo Lin a feeling. Calm, composed, and not exaggerated, she said: "I called you over to talk to you about your grades. I looked at the grades of all the students in the class. Your grades are only slightly lower than Chu Jian's. When you came in, you were the top scorer in the high school entrance examination. Your grades in all subjects are very good, but English is not good. You got 93 points in the final exam of the first year of high school. This score just exceeds the passing line. Can you tell me the reason?"

Zhang Yunqi discovered that Luo Lin had a habit of always lifting her chin with her thumb when she spoke. Her lipstick-coated mouth opened and closed with a unique charm of a young woman: "I used to study in a relatively remote rural area. English was not taken seriously enough, and the level of my English teacher was relatively poor. In junior high school, I could barely cope with it if I worked hard. After entering high school, my poor foundation was magnified. I couldn't keep up, and it was very difficult to learn."

Luo Lin nodded and said, "I roughly understand, but a lame tiger can't do that. With your grades, as long as your English can improve by another 20 or 30 points, it won't be a problem to get into the top ten universities in the country. Tsinghua University and Peking University are not impossible. So on the one hand, you have to work harder. Morning reading every morning is essential. How about this, in the future, you collect the difficult problems you don't understand, and stay for a while after school every Friday, and I will answer them for you." After Luo Lin finished speaking, she was a little surprised to see that Zhang Yunqi didn't say anything immediately, and asked with a smile, "Why, you don't want to?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "No, I think this will be too much trouble for you."

Luo Lin looked at Zhang Yunqi deeply and said, "That's it."

After Zhang Yunqi returned to the classroom, Wang Xiaokai kept asking his English teacher Luo Lin why she wanted to see him.

Zhang Yunqi said truthfully: "They praised me as a promising talent for Tsinghua University and Peking University and said they would focus on cultivating me."

Wang Xiaokai glared at him and said, "Brother, could you please stop bragging?"

Zhang Yunqi had no choice but to say, "I just passed the English final exam last semester, but she was not satisfied and criticized me harshly."

Wang Xiaokai patted Zhang Yunqi on the shoulder to comfort him.

During the last self-study class, the head teacher Lao Wang came to the classroom to hold a class meeting. At the end, he announced a piece of news: there will be an opening ceremony this Friday morning, and Chu Jian from the class will go on stage to speak as a representative of the outstanding students of the grade.

This is a huge personal honor. It is quite impressive for outstanding student representatives of the grade to be able to speak on the podium. At least it carries a lot of weight in the students' hearts. Many classmates in the class looked sideways at Chu Jian, who was smiling but a little nervous. It was a refreshing feeling as if there was a spring breeze blowing. However, Li Yufei, who sat at the same table with Chu Jian, had no expression on her pretty face and was busy with other things.

After class, Li Yufei rarely stayed in her seat. She was very popular in the class. She was beautiful but not pretentious. She could get along well with many classmates, including Zhang Yunqi. Compared with the quiet Chu Jian, this girl seemed to be more popular in Class 156. Whether she was chatting in the sun in the corridor, during physical education class, or during the break, she was always surrounded by a group of classmates, while Chu Jian was mostly accompanied by books.

Once, the boys in the class were bored and discussed which of the two girls was prettier and better. However, it was difficult to have a standard for this, so naturally they were divided into two camps and argued fiercely. Boys, their hormones were surging. In the end, Wang Xiaokai concluded like a philosopher: "Beauty is a matter of opinion. The appearance has reached a very high level. What matters is the temperament and the inner qualities. It is hard to say which one is better. I think that Li Yufei is the best in reality, as she looks like a girl from heaven at first sight."

Zhang Yunqi was there at the time, and after listening to everyone's heated discussion, he felt a little emotional. No matter what, the best in reality is out of reach. Such a girl is destined to be associated with blue sky and blue sea, star-rated hotels, and seafood dinners in the future. Of course, these high school boys cannot deeply understand this point. If you have a good appearance and excellent grades, it may only take a drink to establish a good impression with a girl. But after entering the society, when you see a girl like Li Yufei who looks like a star, besides swallowing your saliva, you can only shout in your heart why your father is called Li Mazi instead of Li Ka-shing.

All pure love must be built on an economic foundation to have the courage to pursue love.

There are many boys who try to please Li Yufei with a drink. For example, Liu Zicheng, this silly boy is like a free cold drink dispenser, and Zhang Yunqi often eats and drinks for this. Once, he, Wang Xiaokai, Li Yufei, Tan Yue and other girls were chatting in the sun in the corridor. Liu Zicheng, who looked like a middle school student, suddenly came over and said, "Li Yufei, do you want anything to drink? I'll go to the canteen to buy a drink."

"Okay, Liu Zicheng, you are really arrogant. Do you treat us as invisible people? You just treat Yufei to drinks in front of so many people?" Tan Yue next to him had a dissatisfied look on her face. She was Li Yufei's junior high school classmate and best friend. She was good-looking and had a lively and cheerful personality. Wang Xiaokai got along well with her and quickly integrated into the same circle with her.

Li Yufei just smiled. That beautiful face with perfect curves made people feel slightly nervous.

Liu Zicheng was a little embarrassed, but his youthful nature made it impossible for him to refuse the offer, so he obediently bought a drink for each of them. For students at that time, this kind of drink was not something they could afford to drink every day. Students were basically proletarians, absolutely poor. However, a rich kid like Liu Zicheng did not lack this pocket money. But when he handed the ice cola to Zhang Yunqi, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Zhang Yunqi smiling and saying thank you.
