Chapter 22: Teacher Li Meng’s Gaping Mouth!
“Cousin, the solution he came up with is absolutely the best. I could only think of one, and the other two didn’t even occur to me.”
“Especially the third solution—it’s simply genius.”
Lin Leier didn’t know what his cousin Fang Yifan was thinking, but what he said was entirely genuine. For this problem, he had only been able to come up with one solution.
When Lin Leier said this, no one in the class thought he was being modest. After all, coming up with even one solution was impressive enough.
But Fang Yifan only received cold stares in response.
“Fang Yifan, move out of the way. Stop blocking us from copying down the solution methods.”
Qiao Yingzi, ignoring all decorum, directly pushed Fang Yifan aside from the blackboard.
At this moment, the students of Class Three, Grade Twelve, were busy noting down Su Bai’s problem-solving methods.
For them, this question was incredibly enlightening, and they had to record it immediately.
Meanwhile, Su Bai had already returned to his seat and lightly patted Geng Geng on the shoulder.
“Now you know how amazing your deskmate is. If you ever have any questions, just ask me. I’ll help you with your studies.”
“Alright, it’s a deal.”
Geng Geng hadn’t expected Su Bai to be this brilliant.
Since he was so capable, she figured she might as well take advantage of his knowledge whenever she was stuck.
Su Bai glanced at the time and pulled out his phone, swiftly operating it.
It was already 8:00 a.m.—the stock market had just opened.
After a few quick actions, he invested all of Song Qian’s 3.1 million yuan into stocks.
Once he was done, he put his phone away.
Su Bai wasn’t worried about his choices. With his “Stock God Experience Card” and his exceptional analytical skills, he had spent just the weekend identifying stocks with high potential returns.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
While he couldn’t guarantee enormous profits, he was confident the investment would at least double in the next five days.
The stock market was merely the beginning; his ultimate focus would shift to the futures market. But all of this would take time, so for now, he concentrated on his role as a student.
Just then, Li Meng entered the classroom, and everyone settled down.
“Lin Leier, come to the front.”
“This is our new classmate, Lin Leier. From today, he’ll be part of our family.”
Li Meng’s gaze softened as she introduced him.
She was thrilled to have a potential gaokao top scorer under her wing. For any teacher, having a student likely to become the provincial champion was an unparalleled honour.
The school’s leadership had acted decisively after learning of Lin Leier’s scores, ensuring his transfer was smooth—an unusual occurrence in Chunfeng High School, given its fiercely competitive environment.
Now that Lin Leier was her student, Li Meng couldn’t contain her excitement.
Although she didn’t yet fully understand the enigmatic Su Bai, the addition of Lin Leier had her dreaming of nurturing a gaokao champion this year.
After the introduction, Li Meng turned to the class and announced, “Today marks the official start of the term. Instead of regular classes, we’ll be having an exam.”
Her words were met with groans.
“Teacher, what’s the exam about? Why weren’t we informed in advance?”
Li Meng replied, “Would the enemy wait for you to prepare on a battlefield? This exam will follow the standards of the gaokao, covering Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages, and comprehensive sciences. It will take two days to complete.”
“The results will determine the class divisions. The top 30 students will enter the advanced class, targeting elite universities. The bottom 30 will join the foundation class, focusing on securing undergraduate admissions. I hope everyone will give it their all.”
As she spoke, her eyes lingered briefly on Su Bai, as if reminding him not to hide his abilities.
Su Bai felt slightly perplexed by her gaze—he wasn’t intentionally hiding anything—but chose not to overthink it.
“Now, please turn off your phones, move all your books outside the classroom, and get ready for the exam.”
Li Meng’s instructions set the students into motion.
This exam wasn’t just for Class Three; it was a major event for the entire twelfth grade, with all classes preparing intensively.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you,” Su Bai said, effortlessly picking up Geng Geng’s books along with his own as they moved them outside.
Several curious glances followed them, their emotions hard to decipher.
But no one said a word.
Once everything was ready, Su Bai prepared himself for his first-ever exam in this new world.
After the Chinese exam, the teachers began grading in the office. Since the exam determined class placements, the grading was urgent.
“Look at Ji Yangyang from Class Three—he left the essay section completely blank. Even a few scribbles would’ve been better than this,” a teacher lamented.
Meanwhile, Li Meng requested Su Bai’s test paper.
When the paper was finally found, the teachers were astonished.
“This is incredible—this essay deserves full marks! It’s of gaokao standard!”
Every teacher gathered around to admire Su Bai’s work.
