Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Talented Woman Full of Confidence
The last class in the morning was also with the homeroom teacher.
She started with some announcements.
"Next Friday is the opening ceremony. Our class needs to report at least three performances, the literature committee will arrange this," the homeroom teacher said.
At Huishi High School, there are performances every semester for the opening and major holidays.
Fortunately, the students at their school are very talented, so they can handle it.
The opening ceremony is not on the first day. For example, this semester, it’s next Friday.
For the next semester, because of the freshmen joining, the opening ceremony’s performances will require more time to coordinate and will usually be scheduled for the last class day before October 1st.
After finishing this topic, the homeroom teacher began handing out the Chinese test papers.
The classroom fell into silence.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for their papers.
Among all the students, Jiang Wei was the most nervous.
She was very confident in her Chinese, as she always scored high in her essays. However, this time the final exam grading was randomized.
During the winter break, Jiang Wei’s mother asked the homeroom teacher multiple times about Jiang Wei’s score. The homeroom teacher always made various excuses, saying she hadn’t seen the papers yet and so on.
Later, the homeroom teacher said, "Let the kids enjoy their New Year, we’ll worry about the scores after school starts. Jiang Wei’s writing is good, she’s sure to get a good grade."
Whether she’d seen the paper or not, Jiang Wei didn’t know.
She was worried, but also a little excited.
She was very confident in her essay.
Previously, the exams were always graded by the homeroom teacher. Maybe her classmates suspected that the teacher favored her.
"This time the grading was randomized and sealed. If I get a high score, no one should have any gossip," Jiang Wei thought.
She couldn’t calm down, trembling slightly, anxiously waiting.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Qi Lin.
Qi Lin wasn’t the best student in the class, nor was he the only one who pursued her. But he suddenly stopped paying attention to her, which made Jiang Wei very uncomfortable.
Now, Qi Lin was sitting behind Sheng Tang.
His gaze seemed to be fixed on Sheng Tang’s back, not the blackboard.
"What’s so good about her?" Jiang Wei thought. "Qi Lin used to have a crush on me because I have talent. My talent is genuine, unlike Sheng Tang’s nonsense."
Thinking of this made her feel confident again.
Her overall grade wasn’t great, ranking beyond 80th in the grade, because her math and English were poor, she knew that.
"My Chinese score is definitely great," Jiang Wei thought contentedly.
When the time comes, Qi Lin would see that she was still the most talented girl in the class, and Sheng Tang was nothing.
"Starting from the last place," the homeroom teacher said coldly, beginning to hand out the papers.
The last place in Chinese scored 53, the homeroom teacher’s expression was very displeased. The boy who got the last place didn’t care, because he was an athlete.
For his future college entrance exam, he only needed to score half of what regular students did to get into a good college.
He didn’t mind, not understanding why the homeroom teacher was upset.
Jiang Wei wasn’t paying attention to anyone else. She was just silently anticipating.
"Don’t get to me so quickly, don’t get to me so quickly..." she silently recited in her heart.
The further back they were handed out, the better the scores.
"My Chinese score must be over 130," Jiang Wei encouraged herself.
She glanced again in Sheng Tang’s direction.
Sheng Tang was passing notes with Jiang Baocu, the two were discussing something unknown.
Jiang Wei decided that once she got her paper, she would go to show off to Qi Lin.
She would pretend to be humble and say to Qi Lin, "I only scored 130 this time. I don’t know where I went wrong, could you help me correct it?"
Everyone knew that scoring 130 in Chinese wasn’t easy, especially with essays making up 60 points, and many students losing at least 20 points in that section.
Then, she wanted to see Sheng Tang’s face.
While she was lost in thought, half of the Chinese papers had been handed out.
The scores were gradually rising, now above 100.
"Yan Jinzhi, 105," the homeroom teacher said.
Jiang Wei wasn’t anxious, it was only 105, still far from her turn.
The homeroom teacher’s voice continued, "Jiang Wei, 107."
Jiang Wei felt as if a thunderclap burst in her ear, leaving her mind blank.
She only scored 107?
Impossible, impossible!
"Jiang Wei?" The homeroom teacher called out again, seeing her sitting still in a daze.
