Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 7 Xue Rui Encourages Learning
After dinner, I still have to attend a few evening self-study classes.

In fact, it is just two extremely boring hours. I can only go back to the dormitory at nine o'clock. There is a teacher on duty every night.

But basically, the students were just having fun downstairs, while the teacher on the podium would look at the clock from time to time, preparing to go off work, and occasionally go out to chat with the teacher on duty in the next class.

As for the noise in the classroom, as long as the head teacher is not offended, everything will be fine.

The students in the classroom wearing uniforms can be roughly divided into several categories according to their front seat positions:
The good students in the front row are doing their extracurricular papers or preparing for the courses they will study later.

These students have clear goals in life.

The students in the middle occasionally studied, but mostly chatted quietly with the students around them, or lowered their heads to secretly read novels;

This type of students with mediocre academic performance lack self-control. They do not have the courage to completely degenerate, but they also do not have the perseverance to study hard, so they are the most confused.

On the other hand, the students in the last row either sneak out when the teacher is not around, or play with their phones, or even play cards in the corner... Compared with the students in the middle and front rows, they are more free to let go.

These students basically do not plan to go to college. Some even tell their teachers that they just want to get a high school diploma and do not plan to take the college entrance examination. After graduating from high school, most of them either work for their family members or learn a craft and engage in blue-collar work.

Xue Rui was the student in the last row, which was why he could sleep during class so arrogantly and no teacher came to stop him.

Even though the head teacher was his aunt, she didn't really force Xue Rui to study, because family members knew each other, and Xue Rui was not the type to study quietly.

"Which category does Lin Ruoxi belong to?" Xue Rui couldn't understand this girl.

Lin Ruoxi was sitting in the last few rows, but she was studying with her head down, occasionally putting a gel pen against her forehead as if she was doing homework, and sometimes she stared blankly out the window, looking like she was worried about something.

"How is Lin Ruoxi's academic performance?" Xue Rui nudged Qiu Mengze with his elbow.

"You ask me? This is the first time I spoke to her today, how should I know? Let's not talk about this for now. Are you going to the Internet cafe after class? Tell me the truth." Qiu Mengze was itching to do so. He had been holding it back for two months during the summer vacation, and he could only have fun by staying up all night.

Unexpectedly, Xue Rui suddenly stood up and shouted to the teacher on the podium: "Report to the teacher! Qiu Mengze plans to sneak out tonight to surf the Internet cafe all night. He also tempted me, but I refused with my firm will. But I still think I should report it to you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the classroom fell silent. Everyone looked at Qiu Mengze with a shocked and bewildered expression, which was quite funny. A male student in the class couldn't hold back his laughter, which resulted in a roar of laughter in the class.

"Hahahaha!"

"Brother Rui is indeed Brother Rui..."

……

The teacher in charge of the class suddenly felt overwhelmed. She had heard of Xue Rui's name a long time ago, but she didn't expect that on her first day of teaching their class, she would be presented with such a farce.

"Quiet!" She slapped the desk and yelled. When the noise in the classroom died down, she said to Qiu Mengze out of responsibility as a teacher, "I will tell your class teacher about this. Study hard. There are still 20 minutes before the get out of class ends."

"Xue! Rui! If you don't want to go, just say you won't go. Why are you doing this!" Qiu Mengze covered his face with a book and cursed in a hoarse voice. He almost bit his teeth off.

"Mengze, I'm doing this for your own good. In the future, even undergraduate degrees will be common. What's the point of just getting a high school diploma?" Xue Rui said earnestly.

Xue Rui was telling the truth. In his previous life, he graduated from a key university. Although it was a non-key university, he was still better than most people.

Xue Rui was doing very well. With the help of mobile Internet, he asked his father for some money to start a small company. His business was booming and he made a lot of money.

But his classmates were not so lucky. For example, Wang Huihui, who massaged his feet, also graduated from a university. However, because she had a child after graduation, there was a gap of several years on her resume, which led to difficulties in finding a job after her divorce. The decent jobs she could find were not enough to support her and her child, so she had no choice but to massage people's feet.

"Why are you suddenly like my dad?" Qiu Mengze swallowed his saliva. He suddenly felt that Xue Rui had become very mature. He grinned and said, "How dare you criticize me with your grades?"

"My family has two restaurants, so I won't have to worry about food and drink even if I don't go to college. What about you? Will you go sell fish with your father? Or come to my house to be a waiter? Or a chef?" Xue Rui asked with a smile.

Xue Rui has no prejudice against professions. In his opinion, no matter which row a student sits in, they will be an important cornerstone of this society in the future.

However, Qiu Mengze at this age does not have this awareness.

Qiu Mengze thinks it is impossible to find a girlfriend if he smells like fish, and being a waiter or a chef doesn't sound cool enough.

"I..." Qiu Mengze's throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't speak for a long time.

He actually always knew the family gap between him and Xue Rui, but he had been avoiding it in his heart and never wanted to face it. His family was just a fish seller in the market, and his pocket money could only afford a dozen yuan of Yellow Crane Tower.
Xue Rui's family was well-off and he could easily buy a whole pack of soft Zhonghua cigarettes from his family's restaurant.

Qiu Mengze never thought that his childhood friend would say such realistic words, and he felt depressed.

Xue Rui patted Qiu Mengze on the shoulder: "In fact, there is a position in the restaurant called catering manager, who can manage many people, but requires a bachelor's degree."

"Manager? That sounds awesome." Qiu Mengze suddenly became excited.

Qiu Mengze, who had zero social experience, suddenly felt that this position seemed to be tailor-made for him.

He fantasized about himself wearing a handsome suit, managing a large group of people, and the beautiful women passing by looked at him with respect, with a stupid but clear smile on their faces.

Xue Rui held back his laughter, Qiu Mengze was stunned by his trick.

In fact, a catering manager does not need a bachelor's degree, especially in a small city like Hedong, where no academic qualifications are required.

The name sounds impressive, but actually his income is not as good as that of a chef. However, he has to set a goal for his childhood friend, otherwise Qiu Mengze will just think about going to the Internet cafe to play games every day.

He thought of his previous life. Starting from the moment Lin Ruoxi jumped, he studied hard, shocking his aunt, and finally got admitted to a top university, shocking everyone in the family.

For this purpose, Xue Rui's father Xue Jianfeng happily set up about a hundred tables.

No gifts are accepted, and everyone can come to eat, whether they know each other or not. They even put up a sign saying "Teacher Appreciation Banquet" with 50% discount, just to brag to others that "my son was admitted to a top university."

When Qiu Mengze was reminded by Xue Rui, his heart suddenly boiled with excitement. He opened the brand new textbooks and began to write his name one by one.

It’s been a day since the new book was distributed, and he hasn’t written his name yet, while the good students in front of him have already done all the homework for the previous few lessons…

Xue Rui also picked up the pen and signed his name on the book. He was used to signing all kinds of documents, and his handwriting was very "artistic".

"Who will recognize you if you write like this?" Qiu Mengze reminded.

Xue Rui was stunned: "What's the point of writing a name?"

"Isn't that nonsense? When your book is lost, someone else won't know who to return it to if they find it."

Xue Rui nodded seriously. He was still not used to his student days, and he wrote his name stroke by stroke.

"Second grade, Class 2, Xue Rui."

When writing the character "睿", Xue Rui got stuck.

I have written too much in artistic style and suddenly I have to write in regular script.

For a moment, he actually forgot the stroke order of this word...

Living in 2024, when mobile Internet is extremely developed, there are almost no scenarios that require handwritten text, except for signatures.

This leads to many people being able to recognize words but forgetting them when they pick up a pen... In a sense, they are the "illiterate" of the new era.

"Dingling bell~"

The teacher on duty walked out of the classroom as the bell rang, as if he didn't want to stay for a moment.

The students also stretched lazily and walked out with their arms around each other's shoulders.

They are either looking for their loved ones, or going to the canteen to buy some snacks. Some of them are chatting about the hot online games and walking towards the "dog hole" in the corner of the school, most likely to play in the virtual world all night long.

"Finished!" Xue Rui wrote his name on each book. Looking at the neatly arranged books, he felt a sense of fulfillment in his heart.

Although I didn't learn anything, I still feel like I worked hard.
