A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 20 is not a reason
Studying is a very boring thing. There are rarely any new things in school. Once something happens, it will naturally become a topic of conversation among classmates. Teachers may not be so gossipy, but students have no such concerns.

There are more than 2,000 teachers and students in No. 2 Middle School, among whom there are many teachers who have good relationships with their classmates, especially some female classmates and female teachers, who almost become best friends.

After the English class, Liu Xiaohua walked out of the classroom in high heels, holding her textbook, in a happy mood. Today, the classmates were very active in answering questions. Even some students who had not taken classes seriously before were listening to her lectures carefully, which made her very pleased.

Her classmates finally noticed how well she taught.

"Teacher Liu, did you know that something big happened in school during evening study yesterday?"

As soon as I walked out of the classroom, a female classmate came jogging up to me with a pile of exercise books in her hands. She was Sun Ke, the English class representative of Class 3.

Sun Ke held the homework book in one hand, and affectionately held Liu Xiaohua's arm with the other hand. He leaned close to her body and said something mysterious in her ear.

"What's the big deal?"

Liu Xiaohua asked curiously.

Gossip is the common wealth of mankind. What's more, she has just graduated from the normal school and is still a little girl. The two of them often exchange gossip together.

Sun Ke told her gossip among students, and she would also share some gossip among teachers with Sun Ke.

"Yesterday during evening study, Chen Hui..."

"Chen Hui?" Liu Xiaohua frowned. She had a deep impression of this troublemaker in Class 7. He never studied English in her class and only focused on math.

"Yes, Chen Hui from Class 7. Sister Hua also takes English in Class 7. You should know him."

"Of course I know him, I'm very impressed!"

Liu Xiaohua nodded, "What happened to him?"

"Yesterday he went to the Math Team training room..."

The two walked towards the office, and Sun Ke whispered about what happened last night, occasionally making exclamations.

Sun Ke spoke excitedly, becoming more and more excited as he spoke, and he didn't notice that Liu Xiaohua beside him became more and more silent as he listened.

"Sister Hua didn't expect Chen Hui to be so strong, right?"

After she finished telling the story, Sun Ke realized that Liu Xiaohua seemed to be distracted. She naturally thought that Liu Xiaohua was too surprised.

"Ah...yes, I didn't expect him to be so talented in math!"

Liu Xiaohua came back to her senses and her next words came from the heart.

Now thinking back, the scholarship application form on Teacher An's desk must have shown that Teacher An had discovered his talent for math a long time ago. No wonder I repeatedly complained to Teacher An about Chen Hui learning math in English class, but Teacher An just turned a blind eye.

"Second-class scholarship!"

Teacher An is really generous.

"I really envy his talent!"

Sun Ke looked forward with eyes full of envy.

talent?

Liu Xiaohua shook her head. She knew how hard Chen Hui studied. His current achievements could not be explained by just talent alone.

"What's there to envy?"

"His grades in other subjects are terrible. Even if he gets full marks in math, your total score will be twice as high as his."

Liu Xiaohua didn't know what was going on, but she finally said to Sun Ke, "Study hard, you will definitely be better than him in the end."

Sun Ke did not agree with Liu Xiaohua's point of view, but she did not refute it.

She had also heard that Chen Hui's performance in other subjects was not good, but for some reason, she felt that Chen Hui would definitely be extraordinary in the future.

Liu Xiaohua, however, increasingly believed her thinking was correct. So what if he had some math talent? The Gaokao wasn't just about math. Even if he didn't win the CMO medal, he still had to take the Gaokao. If what happened yesterday was true, she thought Chen Hui had a good chance of winning the provincial award. But no one at No. 2 Middle School had ever won the CMO medal, and she didn't think Chen Hui could do it.

Liu Xiaohua had only been working for a few years and was just an ordinary teacher. Naturally, she didn't have her own office. After entering the office, Sun Ke stopped discussing gossip with Liu Xiaohua, put down his homework book and went back to the classroom.

After Sun Ke left, Liu Xiaohua turned to look at the workstation opposite, glanced around, and began to share the new gossip she had heard with her best friend.

……

No. 2 Middle School, Administration Building, third floor, Vice Principal’s Office.

"Old Zhao, you're taking a gamble!"

A middle-aged man with a square face sat across from the desk and said to Zhao Defeng, "What if they really are colluding? What if they really are cheating?"

"I have an impression of that student Chen Hui. He's a bit clumsy and doesn't look like a genius at all."

Apparently, the gossip in the school has reached the ears of the leaders.

Zhao Defeng glanced at the Dean of Studies, Xu Shengbin, who was standing across from him. "Everyone has their own responsibility. Don't worry, I won't bring any trouble to the school."

He didn't even bother to explain to the other party that Xu Shengbin had been an administrative staff member from the beginning and had relied on various means to get to his current position. This kind of person believed completely in human relationships and interests. As a principal who was promoted from a front-line teacher, he looked down on such people.

He believed in his own judgment and mathematics. He knew whether Chen Hui was capable or not and did not need anyone to remind him.

"Old Zhao, you're just too impulsive, otherwise that position would have been yours long ago."

Xu Shengbin was not angry because of Zhao Defeng's cold tone. Instead, he looked like he was thinking about Zhao Defeng.

Zhao Defeng was too lazy to pay attention to him and started to deal with his own affairs without any reaction.

Seeing that Zhao Defeng was indifferent, Xu Shengbin didn't know that the words he had prepared were of any use. After staying for a while, he finally walked out of the office.

Originally, he was planning to come here to test the waters, but he didn't expect that the old fox Zhao Defeng was even smarter than him, and he didn't get any useful information.

"What are you proud of?"

Xu Shengbin muttered in his heart, "You've made a mistake this time."

As the Dean of Studies, he also paid attention to students like Chen Hui. He had seen Chen Hui many times and he believed in his own judgment. It was obvious at first glance that the boy did not look very smart.

"Humph, when they find out that the boy is unfit for the job, the position of Vice Principal with real power will be vacant."

Xu Shengbin's mind became more active and his mood immediately improved a lot.

……

The third floor of the teaching building, classrooms and offices,
Zhang Anguo knocked on An Chengzhang's office door with a frown on his face.

"Please come in."

An Chengzhang was correcting homework and said this without even looking up.

The office door was pushed open with a creak, and a dark shadow came to the opposite side of the desk, but did not speak.

After an unknown amount of time, An Chengzhang suddenly remembered that there was another person in the room. He looked up and saw Zhang Anguo sitting across from the desk. His face instantly darkened.

"Teacher An, I'm here to apologize to you."

Before An Chengzhang could speak, Zhang Anguo spoke first.

"You haven't done anything wrong to me, why are you apologizing to me?"

After hearing this, An Chengzhang, who was about to say something, lost his mind, but this did not mean that he forgave Zhang Anguo. Everyone in this world has their own difficulties, and everyone's life is easy, but this is not a reason to frame others.

Zhang Anguo hesitated, but An Chengzhang had already lowered his head to correct homework again.
