Chapter Twenty-Six

  The difference between A High and B High is that after the summer vacation, A High will have a half-month supplementary course period, which is free of charge by the school, but the supplementary course is only open to second-year high school students, while B High students do not have this treatment.

  Ji Xiaowan waited at the entrance of A High School on Wednesday after her vacation. Ji Xiaowan knew that the principal of A High School, Xia Zhengnong, would drive a black sedan with a license plate ending in 79 whenever he entered or left the school.

  At around five thirty, Xia Zhengnong's car drove out of the school gate, and Ji Xiaowen saw it.

  A black sedan had just arrived at the intersection when Ji Xiaowan rushed over and crashed into the front of the car.

  When Ji Xiaowan suddenly rushed out, the driver was startled and quickly stepped on the brakes, but still knocked Ji Xiaowan to the ground.

  Ji Xiaowan was not seriously injured, just a little abrasion on her knee.

  Xia Zhengnong sat in the back seat of the car and saw Ji Xiaowan being knocked to the ground, so he hastily got out of the car and asked, "Classmate? Are you okay?"

  Ji Xiaowan wasn't wearing a school uniform, so Xia Zhengnong didn't know if she was a student at his school or not. He greeted her very warmly.

  Ji Xiaowan got up and walked to Xia Zhengnong's side, saying, "Principal Xia, I want to talk to you."

  It's not that Ji Xiaowan intentionally bumped into Xia Zhengnong's car, but she really had no other choice. As a small and poor student, if she wanted to meet Xia Zhengnong, she had to show some skills.

  When Xia Zheng Nong saw that Ji Xiao Wan didn't have any serious injuries, he felt relieved for a moment. Then when he heard Ji Xiao Wan ask to talk with him, he vaguely sensed that this little girl had actually intentionally bumped into his car in order to get the chance to talk with him. Moreover, he also knew that this little girl probably wasn't a student at their school!

  Xia Zheng Nong agreed, just looking at Ji Xiao Wan's sincere face made him like her more.

  "Get on the bus first, and we'll talk after you get on."

  Ji Xiaowan smiled happily and excitedly followed Xia Zhengnong into the back seat of the car.

  In the car, the driver started the vehicle and it moved forward slowly. Ji Xiaowen didn't ask where they were taking her either. She took out her transcript from her pocket and handed it to Xia Zhengnong.

  Xia Zhengnong took out the transcript and glanced at it, slightly stunned for a moment before saying, "So you're Ji Xiaowan."

  "Does the principal know you?" Ji Xiaowan asked.

  "Everyone in Class A knows you, your grades are even three points higher than that person in our school! That person in our school now hates you to death."

  The mid-term exam was a unified test paper in the city, while the final exam was a unified test paper in the province. Qixiaowen's grades were not only first in the city but also in the province! Qixiaowen also received a thick scholarship for this! Her little treasure house was filled with another thick sum of money!

  As for the one mentioned by the principal, who hated Ji Xiaowan to death, he was only three points behind Ji Xiaowan. But these three points made him lose this generous bonus. If Ji Xiaowan were from A High School, it would be fine, and he could just think that his school had a lot of talented people! But Ji Xiaowan happened to be from B High School! Being surpassed by someone from B High School in the provincial exam and becoming the top scorer made his heart even more unbalanced!

  As for who hated Ji Xiaowan to death, the principal didn't say, and Ji Xiaowan wasn't interested in asking either.

  Xia Zheng Nong looked at Ji Xiao Wan with a bit more fondness and asked, "What brings you to find me, Xiao Wan?"

  Ji Xiaowan's face turned red as she said somewhat awkwardly, "Principal, look at my grades, can I come to your school to study?"

  "Okay." Xia Zheng Nong had actually already guessed that Xiao Ya Tou wanted to come study at their school, but he wasn't in a hurry to make it clear, and was just waiting for her to bring it up herself.

  Ji Xiaowan's face turned red again when Xia Zhengnong said it was okay, then she said, "Principal, I also want to skip a grade and go straight to first grade."

  Xia Zhengnong was stunned after hearing this, he didn't think that little girl had such high requirements.

  "Xiao Wan, you don't know how strict the skipping exam is, especially in our A school. The skipping exam is equivalent to the college entrance examination mode, and the passing score must be at least a second-tier university!"

  Ji Xiaowan naturally knew, so in these days, she has been very diligent in her studies. Ji Xiaowan did not want to give up any opportunity for further study, no matter how difficult it was, and she would try before giving up.

  "Principal, give me a chance! I want to skip reading in first grade and take the college entrance exam as soon as possible."

  Xia Zheng Nong was somewhat embarrassed and said, "Girl, originally you wanted to transfer to our school A, no need for any formalities. With this transcript of yours, I can give you a green light, but if you want to skip grades, you must enter our school through regular channels. The exam papers are also reviewed by the school's board of directors before being approved. If not, not only will it be impossible to skip grades, but there may also be no chance to transfer!"

  A school is actually not just a principal's word, there are many doors in between, and Ji Xiaowen doesn't know.

  But Ji Xiaowan knew a little that Xia Zhengnong was telling her something, that is, if she wanted to skip classes and take the exam unqualified, even the hope of transferring schools would be ruined.

  Ji Xiaowan thought for a moment and still didn't hesitate, "Principal, just give me one chance! I will definitely work hard this summer vacation!"

  "Alright, I'll arrange an exam time for you. Remember to come find me at A High when the time comes." Xia Zheng Nong took out a piece of paper and pen, wrote down a string of numbers on it, and said, "This is my phone number, if you have any questions just call me directly!"

  Ji Xiaowan excitedly took over the note, folded it several times and put it in her pocket, with a hint of comfort on her face.

  Xia Zheng Nong took Ji Xiao Wan to a restaurant entrance and got out of the car.

  Xia Zhengnong said, "Xiao Wan, someone has invited me to dinner, would you like to come along?"

  Ji Xiaowan, how dare she eat with such a big shot? Her heart can't take it! Ji Xiaowan hastily shook her head and said, "I won't disturb you anymore, Principal! I still have a tutoring class later, which is just on the way, two streets from here."

  "Go! I won't keep you either." Xia Zhengnong chuckled twice.

  "Then I'll take my leave, Principal." Ji Xiaowen bowed respectfully to him before turning and walking away.

  Xia Zheng Nong watched her leave, smiled kindly, and then walked into the hotel. After searching for a while, he found that the person who had asked to meet him was already sitting by the window waiting for him.

  Xia Zhengnong walked over and greeted them.

  "Hai Wei, Yi Ling! You two kids finally thought of this old man?"

  Ye Haiwei and Yi Ling saw Xia Zhengnong coming over, hastily stood up to greet him, "Principal sir is really fond of joking! Although the two of us have left in person, our hearts are still at A High!"

  Yi Ling's horse pat was quite smooth, and Ye Haiyuan kept smiling with a dignified expression, saying, "The principal hasn't forgotten us two, it's our honor! Today we have the opportunity to invite you out for dinner, and it took us a lot of thought."

  "Haha…… you two don't have to flatter me like this, I'm not someone who can be won over by such tricks." Xia Zhengnong said as he sat down, waiting for Yi Ling and Ye Haiyun to sit down together. Then, Xia Zhengnong looked at them with his old eyes, "Speak up, what's the matter that you've come to find me about this time?"

  "Principal, didn't classmate Ji Xiaowen just come looking for you?" Ye Haiyu said straightforwardly.

  Xia Zheng Nong's eyes narrowed as he listened, "Your eyesight is quite good!"

  Ye Haiyi chose a seat by the window, and just now he and Ji Xiaowan got off the bus and had a conversation, Ye Haiyi saw it clearly.

  Xia Zhengnong is no fool, he vaguely knew that these two young men were probably here for Ji Xiaowen's sake.

  As for the two kids, Xia Zhengnong had heard about them before. They had lured away several excellent female students from his school, and A High School had lost a few excellent female students because of this. This debt, Xia Zhengnong had been harboring resentment about it.

  But today's meal was quite enjoyable for Xia Zhengnong.

  Ye Haiwei didn't give him any leeway and said directly, "Principal, we want to go back to A High, what's your intention?"

  Xia Zhengnong held his chopsticks, focused on eating, and drank a little wine while eating. He smacked his lips loudly, as if the dishes on the table were to his liking.

  Yi Ling wasn't quite used to dealing with old slickers, so he chose to sit on the side and keep silent.

  Ye Haiwei was very patient and saw what dish he liked to eat, and specially picked it up for him in his bowl.

  No choice, have to ask for help!

  Xia Zhengnong was triumphant for a long time before he finally spoke up, "Young man, I told you not to go to B High back then, but you didn't listen. Now you know, don't you? The learning atmosphere at B High is no match for ours at A High! You two are young and don't understand things, relying on your good grades and looking down on me, an old man. You insisted on transferring there, now do you know better? Want to come back?"

  Ye Haiwei maintained a perfect smile, and didn't have any other reaction to Xia Zhengnong's nagging.

  "The principal is right! The high promotion rate of Class A is all thanks to your great leadership, Principal!"

  "Alright! Alright! You guys stop flattering me!" Xia Zhengnong picked up his chopsticks and waved them, saying, "If you want to come back, it's simple! But what's in it for me?"

  Yi Ling suddenly spoke up and said with a smile, "Principal, you shouldn't be the principal. Why don't you go into business instead? I guarantee you'll have a bright future!"

  Yi Ling really didn't know that Xia Zheng Nong was such a petty person! And he's also very good at nitpicking! Small-minded!

  Xia Zhengnong snorted and said, "What's the matter? Don't you allow me to take revenge? You guys shouldn't forget that when you left, I spent a lot of effort to keep you here, but none of you gave me any face!"

  "Go ahead! Go ahead!" Yi Ling said, "You can directly state your request, let's see if we can make it happen."

  Xia Zhengnong said bluntly, "Our school A needs a spokesperson, and it just so happens that we are short of two students with good looks and excellent grades to do the promotional work."

  "But we haven't graduated yet!" Normally, it's only after graduation, and only those who have been admitted to key universities, that they would be invited by the school to be their spokesperson.

  "Haha." Xia Zheng laughed slyly and said, "Your first choice must be Qingcheng University! I don't care about your second choice! If you get accepted into Qingcheng University, you must come back to our school to help us with promotional activities!"

  Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei's university aspirations have always been Qingcheng No. 1, Xia Zhengnong's requirement is not difficult!

  "Alright, no problem!"

  Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei both agree.

  "This matter is just verbal for now, another day I'll have someone draw up a document and you'll all have to sign it then!"

  He cursed inwardly at this old scoundrel.

  Ye Hai smiled and nodded in agreement, "Understood."

  Xia Zhengnong thought for a moment, feeling that he had missed something. He hastily added a sentence, saying, "I'd like to remind you of one thing! Since you want to transfer back, your grades can't make this old man lose face! Otherwise, I'll kick you out directly! I don't care who your parents are! Even if the Emperor himself came, I wouldn't give him any face!"

  "Principal is right! He's absolutely right!" Ye Haiwei knew that this old man had a notorious temper, and was very stubborn. Ye Haiwei stroked his hair in agreement, whatever he said was the truth.

  "Besides...” Xia Zhengnong felt that the food was a bit less, not enough to fill his teeth. "Recently, our school wants to build another experimental building. You know, building an experimental building requires a large sum of money, and the funds allocated by the government are simply not enough."

  Yi Ling pouted and said, "Principal, you really care about the school! Alright, I'll help you see if there are any kind-hearted people willing to donate to our school." In short, this old thing just wanted them to beg for money!

  Xia Zhengnong opened the flower, took out two invitation letters from his pocket and said, "At the end of October, our school will hold a charity donation activity! If your father is interested, he can come to visit at any time."

  Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei each took one, glanced at it after opening it, and then closed it.

  "Don't worry, the principal's experimental building will definitely be completed smoothly"

  With these two guarantees, Xia Zhengnong finally put down his wine glass. He felt that he had eaten a lot and was very full.

  Ye Haiyu saw him wiping his mouth and knew that he had made all his requests, so now it was his turn to speak.

  "Principal, we actually have one more small request."

  "What?" Xia Zhengnong raised his head and asked with narrowed eyes.

  "Has Ji Xiaowan mentioned to you that she wants to skip a grade?"

  Xia Zheng nodded and said, "She did say something."

  Ye Haiyi and Yi Ling showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, Ye Haiyi said again, "Then Principal will help with a small favor!"

  "What did you say?"

  "If Ji Xiaowan passes the skipping grade test and is assigned to our class, we want to sit at the same table as her!"
