“Mr. Li.” Principal Wang frowned.

“Principal, I’m telling the truth!” Mr. Li argued. “I think a student like her should start from Year One! If you transfer her to Year Three, she will take the college entrance examination next year! By then, her scores will pull down the school’s average score!”

Strict recruitment practices were key in ensuring that Jiang City No.1 Middle School was able to reach its current standards.

This was especially since the eldest daughter of the Nian Family, Nian Yan, was an all-rounded talent. She was good in every subject and had even won the city’s first prize in the previous piano competition.

They were clearly biological sisters, but why was the difference so huge!

“There’s still a year before the college entrance examination, why are you in such a hurry?” Principal Wang disagreed with Teacher Lee’s words.

In his eyes, although Nian Yue’s grades were not good, she had never done anything wrong since she was young and she was obedient. As long as she worked hard in her third year of high school, she would definitely have no problem getting into an undergraduate course.

“Principal, you can’t say that. She scored a little over 200 points in the middle school examination. Such a student probably doesn’t even know how to do most of the middle school questions. If she enters No.1 Middle School, she will only drag the school down.” Teacher Li spoke eloquently. “Anyway, I won’t accept such a student.”

Principal Wang didn’t expect Teacher Li to resist so fiercely. He didn’t know how to reply.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Principal Wang said, “Please come in.”

A woman in business attire walked in from the door. She looked to be around 25 or 26 years old. Her face was fair and she had a gentle smile on her face. She stopped in front of Nian Yue and asked, “Are you Nian Yue? Do you want to enter Class A?”

“Yes.”

“Since Teacher Li is unwilling, then…” Before the female teacher could finish speaking, she was rudely interrupted by Teacher Li. “Teacher Duan, have you thought about what Class A is like? If you let a person who scored more than 200 points in the middle school examination enter, it will lower the average score of your class…”

“That’s alright. I believe that Nian Yue will study hard.” The female teacher smiled and turned around to ask Nian Yue, “I’m the form teacher of Class A, you can follow me into the class later.”

The female teacher had a gentle smile on her face from the beginning to the end, which made Mr. Li feel rather upset.

After he graduated, he came to No.1 Middle School to teach. He had always been teaching the normal class.

Although most of the students from the normal class became undergraduate students, they were still a far cry from the students from Class A, who were guaranteed admission to the university.

It was not easy for him to become the substitute form teacher of Class A, when the incumbent had retired early due to illness. He had thought that he could take over Class A ahead of time, but in the end, someone threw a wrench in the works!

Duan Yu, a student who had just graduated from the Normal School, came to No.1 Middle School and immediately became the form teacher of Class A. This turn of events made him extremely indignant!

“Principal, Teacher Li, I will bring Nian Yue back to class first.” Duan Yu nodded at the two of them and turned to leave the office with Nian Yue.

Mr. Li returned to his class and the office fell silent again.

Principal Wang took out his phone. It was a white screen with a few lines of words written on it. One could vaguely tell that it was a formula for a question.

This was the last question of the Mathematical Olympiad this time. The teachers from the evaluation committee had written two pages of the steps and only sent him a few lines each month.

But it was these few lines that shocked him even more than the few lines given by the teachers of the evaluation committee.

The method she used was probably not even learned in university.

Yet, this was something she had done in less than twenty minutes from the time she left the house to school.

Principal Wang sighed and felt sorry for Teacher Li.

He and the research team spent half a year researching these questions. They were the final questions for the mock college entrance examination next year.

No answers could be found online.

So how did this girl solve it in such a short time?

The principal’s office was in the same building as Grade 12 Class A, but Class A was on the second floor while the principal’s office was on the fifth floor.

Class A was silent. Duan Yu entered with Nian Yue.

The group of boys who had been playing cards at the back looked up unintentionally. When they saw Nian Yue, they were completely shocked.

“Is this the legendary country bumpkin transfer student?”

“What kind of godly looks is this? She’s much prettier than Nian Yan, the prettiest girl in school!”

“I have to get her contact!”

...

There was a commotion at the back of the class. They were usually mischievous and disrupted class discipline. Duan Yu was already used to them.

Occasionally, one or two of the other students would look up. When they saw the side profile of the aloof girl, surprise would flash across their faces.

The other students lowered their heads and did their own things. It was as if the behavior of those second-generation heirs at the back was something they were already used to.

Duan Yu was already used to such situations. She walked to the podium and said to the audience, “We have a new transfer student in our class, Nian Yue.”

Below the stage, a few students started clapping. Duan Yu smiled and turned to Nian Yue, saying, “Go on stage and introduce yourself to everyone.”

The girl walked onto the stage and took the chalk with her fair fingers. She wrote two words on the blackboard and said, “Nian Yue.”

Apart from those two simple words, there was nothing more.

“In that case, Nian Yue, you can sit in the last row.” Duan Yu pointed to the last row for her. It was at the corner of the class and happened to be behind the group of second-generation heirs.

“Okay.” Nian Yue nodded. She carried her bag and walked to the last row without looking at the other side.

There was nothing in her bag except for a pen and a piece of paper. She took them out and placed them on the table. Nian Yue lay there and started sleeping.

She had slept too late yesterday and was a little tired today. Since she had nothing to do, she might as well take a nap.

“New classmate, why are you sleeping? We haven’t even exchanged contacts!” Wang Le, who was behind her, was unhappy. He was about to go over and approach her when he was stopped by Lin Nan. “Are you stupid? Can’t you see that she’s sleeping?”

“Lin Nan, when did you learn to be gentle?” Wang Le was dumbfounded. Lin Nan was the leader of No.1 Middle School. When had he ever taken anyone seriously?

And now he was telling him not to disturb the transfer student’s sleep?

“I just learned it.” Lin Nan glanced at him and said lazily, “Let these people be quiet, they’re disturbing our new classmate…”

He did not say it explicitly, but the students present already knew his personality. They quickly returned to their seats.

When the teacher came to class, she was so excited that she almost cried when she saw the group of rich kids sleeping at their desks without disturbing her class.

Everyone knew that Class A was the most difficult class in the whole of No.1 Middle School. Most of the students were already guaranteed admission to the Imperial University. Any one of them could easily crush the teachers with their intelligence.

Even so, all the teachers in the school wanted to teach Class A.

There was no other reason apart than the fact that this class would always have the best college entrance examination scores in the country!
