Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 219 The Connections
It's fine if Jin Ping'an isn't mentioned, but mentioning Yu Xin makes me even more annoyed.

Ai Liang, Ye Qing, Fang Xinlei, and others were just a bit of a headache for him.

Overall, it's harmless and can significantly improve the average grades of top classes.

What about Jin Ping'an?

He can do it too, but he'll do it in the opposite direction.

Even Yi Wenna and Cheng Lejia, who are both connected to the family, are not exempt from this.

Although their grades weren't good enough for the top classes, they were at least at the level of those who were directly promoted to higher grades.

At least it won't hold us back.

But Jin Ping'an is different.

He's like a heavyweight in a tug-of-war, standing at the very back.

He was clearly in a crucial position, and instead of pulling himself back, he pushed his teammates forward.

He single-handedly lowered the average score of the top-performing class by one level.

This is not finished.

If it were simply a matter of poor grades, Yu Xin would accept it.

As long as he is not a person with congenital intellectual disability whose brain is not fully developed and whose cerebellum is completely underdeveloped.

Yu Xin is confident that he can improve his grades.

But Jin Ping'an is also an advisor to the criminal investigation team.

Whenever there's a murder case, this guy B has to go to the criminal investigation team every few days.

The key point is that the principal had already told me that this leave couldn't be denied.

It is truly painful.

But since we're already here, what else can we do but make do?

If anyone asks about this guy's grades.

Yu Xin could only express tactfully that Jin Ping'an's class ranking was stable, there was great room for improvement, and his grades in all subjects and condition at the grave were good.

With him around, no one else in the school ever has to worry about ending up at the bottom.

Because Jin Ping'an will use his head to firmly hold up the second-to-last person's buttocks.

"it is true."

Yu Xin sighed resignedly: "Jin Ping'an is a boarding student. If there's a chance, ask other teachers to take turns tutoring him when they have time."

"If you can catch up, then do so. If you really can't, then when estimating your average score for future exams, just underestimate it by one or two points."

"Old Yu, who are the other two?"

"The teacher next to Yu Xin asked."

Jin Ping'an had the most prominent reputation in society, so the teachers knew about him as soon as he enrolled.

However, Cheng Lejia and Yi Wenna are relatively low-key.

"The other two, they..."

dong dong dong.

The knocking interrupted the conversation of several teachers.

"Please come in."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Just as Yu Xin was about to introduce the other two people with connections, the main person arrived.

"Hello, teachers."

Cheng Lejia was very polite and greeted all the teachers.

The three were clearly chatting together when Cheng Lejia suddenly interrupted, greeting only one of them and ignoring the other two, which was very impolite.

"Is there a problem?"

Yu Xin asked a question in a fixed phrase, like an NPC giving out quests at the village entrance.

This year's freshmen, instead of studying, packing their things in the dorm, or eating, all rush to the office as soon as school is over.

Are there no air conditioners in the classrooms and dormitories?

Yu Xin was exhausted. Having learned from the previous experience, he was mentally prepared for what kind of privileges this young master would want.

Cheng Lejia smiled and nodded, "Ah, it's nothing. I was just elected class monitor and wanted to ask what needs to be done so I can prepare in advance."

Yu Xin was completely baffled by his explanation.

He's only just become class monitor, and he's already so eager to serve his classmates?

Damn it, don't you need to study? Aren't you worried about...?

Okay, they have connections, so there's nothing to worry about.

"Ahem, it's just the start of the semester and there's nothing else to do... Go to the classroom and hand out the student handbooks. Ye Qing and Ai Liang just moved in."

"It's all been sent."

Cheng Lejia immediately replied.

So positive?

Yu Xin was somewhat surprised.

"After school, go to the dorms and see if any dorms have damaged facilities or furniture, or missing items. If so, make a list and give it to me."

Yu Xin pulled two A4 sheets of paper from the drawer: "This is the student list and dormitory room numbers for our class. There are fewer students in the girls' dormitory, so you can just ask anyone to help you count them."

"Okay, is there anything else?"

Cheng Lejia took the photocopy and asked.

Yu Xin casually assigned a task and handed him the classroom key: "After school, have the students go back to their dorms and tidy up. There will be an inspection tomorrow. That's all for now."

Cheng Lejia nodded: "I understand, goodbye teacher."

Look, this is what a normal student looks like.

Who were those two top students just now?

One acted as if everyone owed him hundreds of thousands, while the other was so enthusiastic he almost wanted to be your brother.

Cheng Lejia was much easier to talk to than Ai Liang and the others.

She is sensible, obedient, and does well in her studies.

This is the perfect student in a teacher's eyes.

After Cheng Lejia left, the three teachers continued their previous conversation.

The teacher next to Yu Xin chuckled mischievously, "Is that student the class monitor? He's so enthusiastic now, but if you need him to come over in a few months, he'll probably be slacking off."

The teachers present have all taught at least two classes of top-performing students and have some understanding of the role of a class monitor.

Almost every student who was swayed by Yu Xin volunteered to become class monitor.

They all start strong, then weaken, and finally exhaust themselves.

At first, they were full of energy and busy with everything, but as the coursework progressed, the second semester began.

Every class monitor who was called to the office had a sullen face, without exception.

"No, he's just one of those two people with connections."

Yu Xin began recording the list of students who had regressed: "They're not afraid of being kicked out of the top class at all."

"Is he a relative? Whose child is he?"

"The female teacher across from me asked."

Those who can get their children into the top class of Qianhua Experimental Middle School all have some connections, more or less.

Their parents would definitely be prominent figures in society.

At the very least, they're related to the principal or something.

"Cheng Lejia, the heir to the Shengjia Group."

Yu Xin answered listlessly.

In Qianhua City, people who don't know the name Shengjia Group are as rare as people who live by the sea but have never seen the sea in their entire lives.

Shengjia's industries are ubiquitous, covering all aspects of life, from clothing and food to housing and transportation.

Putting aside other things, the dormitory and teaching buildings of Qianhua Experimental Middle School were built free of charge by Cheng Lejia's parents.

This is also the main reason why Cheng Lejia was able to easily get Jin Ping'an into the top class.

Without this connection, relying solely on your status as a consultant to the criminal investigation team and your reputation in society, people wouldn't bother with you.

Otherwise, if you can get into any school just because it has a big reputation, then you might as well not call it an experimental middle school.

They should just rename it Qianhua Celebrity Academy.

The other two students in the classroom exchanged a glance and swallowed hard.

They've mentored many high-profile students, but this is the first time they've seen one of this caliber.

This is like in the Middle Ages, you've been tutoring the children of local nobles, and one day a prince from your country suddenly wants to come and study there.

"Is it really Cheng Lejia? Didn't I hear he went to study at the European Union?"

The female teacher quickly asked.

Yu Xin looked disdainful: "Who knows? People on the internet love to make things up. They see someone go out for a trip and make all sorts of guesses. Only a fool would believe that."

The female teacher cast a resentful look at Yu Xin: "...Teacher Yu, I feel like I can't communicate with you normally anymore."

"Old Yu, who's the other person with connections?"

The teacher next to Yu Xin asked with great interest.

Anyway, since he was in charge of the top-tier Class B, the more upset Yu Xin was, the happier he was.

Yu Xin rolled her eyes at the teacher next to her.

You just want to see me get the short end of the stick, don't you?
"Yi Wenna, Yi Zhiwei's daughter."

Yi Wenna's father is a well-known entrepreneur in Qianhua City. Locals are familiar with the name Yi Zhiwei, who is the second-in-command of the Qianhua City Business Alliance.

Although the company's assets and business scope are not as large as those of Shengjia Group, by combining with other commercial companies, it can barely compete with Shengjia Group.

Moreover, Yi Zhiwei has the backing of local officials in Qianhua City.

This is to prevent Shengjia Group from becoming too powerful and completely controlling the entire city, thus forming a monopoly.

However, it seems that Shengjia has no plans to further expand its market at present.

The main reason is that Cheng Lejia is too young, so the group's affairs are managed by the old housekeeper and the board of directors.

There is currently no leader within the organization.

It was during this period that Yi Zhiwei seized the opportunity and rose to prominence.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Lao Yu, you can't call this an honor class. You might as well rename it the Elite Class."

The teacher next to Yu Xin took a leisurely sip of tea: "But you can brag to others in the future that back in the day, I could call Yi Zhiwei to my office with just one phone call."

"Teacher Qian, please say less!"

The female teacher across from them couldn't stand it anymore: "They just come from well-off families, they're not some nouveau riche spoiled brat. Cheng Lejia is quite polite."

"Teacher Qiao, you can't judge a person's character based on first impressions. Who knows if Cheng Lejia is the kind of student who says one thing to someone's face and does another behind their back?"

Teacher Qian said calmly.

However, as he talked, he started to feel a sour taste in his mouth.

"Why are those who should be skipping grades not doing so, and those who could inherit the family fortune not doing so, but instead running off to school? Does it even matter to these people whether they go to school or not, or are they just here to play for three years?"

Teacher Qian recalled how, after much effort, he finally broke through the encirclement and was admitted to a key university.

Let's take a look at the students in Yu Xin's class.

Ai Liang rejected Asia Union's special recruitment offer simply because she didn't want to engage with society for the time being.

Needless to say, Cheng Lejia and Yi Wenna, even though they are illiterate, can still live a luxurious life that others wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Even Jin Ping'an, who had the worst grades, had a stable job in the criminal investigation team at the age of sixteen and was a well-known public figure.

These students have already surpassed their teachers in terms of life achievements at this stage.

People are more infuriating than people.

Yu Xin made a pointed sarcastic remark: "Those with ability have more choices, while those without ability can only study to death."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Qiao on the other side chuckled softly.

"You old Yu, what are you saying?"

Teacher Qian laughed and scolded, "Aren't you just like me?"

"So we're both talentless people, we can only loaf around here and wait to die."

Yu Xin wrote down the name of the last student whose grades had dropped on the report card.

The school bell rang at that very moment.

Teacher Qiao, sitting opposite, was immediately impressed when she saw Yu Xin tidying up his desk.

She then extended an invitation: "It's been a long time since I've been to the cafeteria, let's go grab a bite together?"

"no problem."

Teacher Qian responded immediately.

However, Teacher Qiao didn't even glance at him, her eyes fixed on Yu Xin.

"No, my wife is waiting for me to come home for dinner."

Yu Xin raised his hand to look at his watch, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the watch face.

There were no stains on it.

This action was only done for someone else's benefit.

Teacher Qian sighed: "Old Yu, can't you consider how we single people feel? Every time we chat, it's all about 'wife' this and 'wife' that."

"Then hurry up and go on blind dates to find a partner. What's the point of criticizing me every day?"

Yu Xin shoved the report card into the drawer: "See you tomorrow."

After saying that, he quickly left, his departure swift and decisive.

He didn't even wait for the two of them to respond.

Teacher Qiao looked towards the office door and said, "...See you tomorrow."

Teacher Qian picked up his teacup: "They've all disappeared, why are you still talking about this?"

"I want you to take care of it?"

Teacher Qiao said in an unfriendly tone.

"Tsk tsk tsk, who told you not to seize the opportunities when you were in school?"

Teacher Qian started her sarcastic mode again: "Being arrogant is fun for a while, but chasing after your husband will be a nightmare. I think you have absolutely no hope."

"You'll die if you don't make sarcastic remarks, won't you?"

Teacher Qiao retorted irritably.

Teacher Qian asked, "Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. By the way, what was the cafeteria's signature dish again today?"

Teacher Qiao didn't answer his question, but instead took out her phone: "How would I know? Can't you go to the cafeteria and see for yourself?"

"Didn't we say we were going to the cafeteria?"

"I've ordered takeout, you can go get it yourself."

Teacher Qiao closed the blank lesson plan that she had spent half a day organizing but hadn't changed a single word of.

He picked up his bag and left the office.

Teacher Qian shook his head, unscrewed the lid of his teacup, and took a sip of tea.

"Everyone in the world is troubled by love, so it's better to be single."

"With no elders above and no children below, one can eat one's fill and live a happy and carefree life."

"Hmm, the tea's getting a little cold..."

Teacher Qian muttered to herself as she turned off the office air conditioner and left.

………………

On the other side, Cheng Lejia received the class dormitory list.

The first thing I did when I got back to class was to create a chat group and add everyone to it.

This way, it will be easier for everyone to contact each other if anything happens.

Then he stood on the podium and conveyed the standards for dormitory hygiene.

As for why I didn't say it in the group chat...

Not many people actually read group announcements.

The school bell rings.

Cheng Lejia began urging the students in her class to leave the classroom and take their books back to their dormitories.

After everyone had left, he and Jin Pingan personally checked whether every window was locked.

Only after everything was confirmed did the classroom door be locked with the key.

The whole set of movements was fluid and graceful; he was clearly a veteran class committee member.

After the two finished their work, most of the students in the building had left.

Long queues had already formed at the cafeteria.

Cheng Lejia bought a few steamed buns at the cafeteria for dinner and returned to the dormitory with Jin Pingan.

In the top classes, the dormitories are shared by two people.

Cheng Lejia and Jin Pingan, these two best buddies, were naturally assigned to the same group.
