Chapter 925: 226: Science Top Scholar! Crushing the Scum in Progress!_5
Upon hearing this, the principal’s face showed a hint of guilt, and he apologized somewhat embarrassedly, "I’m really sorry, Teacher Xu, I shouldn’t have doubted Ni Yang. Rest assured, I will personally apologize to Ni Yang."
Teacher Xu laughed and said, "Principal, you are being too serious. Our class’s Ni Yang is not the petty type; she probably didn’t even take this matter to heart."
"Exactly, exactly! Our national topper definitely isn’t petty!" The principal excitedly patted Teacher Xu’s shoulder, "Teacher Xu! You are truly amazing, to have taught a national topper!"
Just then, when Teacher Zhao from Class 2 of Senior Year entered, he overheard this remark.
"National topper?" He asked somewhat confused, "Has Beijing produced a national topper? From which school?"
The principal excitedly said, "It’s Ni Yang from Teacher Xu’s class! Truly, Teacher Xu deserves great credit for teaching such a talent!"
National topper?
Not to mention Third City Middle School, even Beijing hadn’t produced a national topper in a long time!
"Is there, is there some mistake?" Teacher Zhao expressed doubt. Hadn’t he heard that Ni Yang’s past achievements were plagiarized? How had she suddenly become a national topper?
Also, weren’t the top three ranks usually notified in advance?
The principal arrogantly said, "The city admissions office personally called, how could there be a mistake?"
Teacher Xu knew about Teacher Zhao’s doubts and explained the reasons to him.
Teacher Zhao said enviously, "Teacher Xu, you are really incredible!" Having taught a national topper, Teacher Xu’s future is truly boundless!
Before this, Teacher Zhao’s most admired person was Zhang Qiang, as Zhang Qiang’s class had a student who became city’s second-best.
But now, Teacher Xu had actually taught a national topper!
Could a city’s second-best compare to a national topper?
Next to the national topper, the city’s second-best couldn’t even be seen!
Teacher Xu humbly said, "Not at all, I just taught casually; the talented one is Ni Yang from our class!"
Before long, everyone in the office knew about Ni Yang being the national topper.
Everyone gathered around Teacher Xu, expressing admiration.
Just a short while ago, people were doubting Ni Yang’s plagiarism and scoffing at Teacher Xu, but now, the tables had turned! It would be false to say they weren’t pleased and proud! 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
The honor of being a national topper was enough for Teacher Xu to be proud for a lifetime!
Teacher Xu smiled and said, "I won’t talk much longer with you all; I’m off to announce the college entrance exam results to our class! Ni Yang must be getting anxious."
The principal quickly said, "Go, go! Don’t keep Ni Yang waiting."
Teacher Xu entered the classroom, "Everyone, quiet down, I’m about to announce the college entrance exam results!"
Hearing this, the classroom immediately fell silent.
Teacher Xu started reading out the scores one by one.
"Li Xiaoman, 498 points!"
"..."
"Han Xiaoyu, 588 points!"
588 points!
Hearing this score, Han Xiaoyu was thrilled, hugging Ni Yang tightly, "Yangyang, pinch me, see if I’m dreaming!"
Although Han Xiaoyu’s usual test scores were not low, the college entrance exam papers were very tough this time, and high scores were generally rare.
This was why Li Wei, with a score of 608, managed to secure the second-best rank in science.
588 points had just touched a cutoff line; how could Han Xiaoyu not be thrilled?
Ni Yang smiled and pinched her cheek, "Relax, you’re not dreaming."
Zhou Xuemei sat right behind them, "Tsk! What’s there to be proud of! Cheating dog!"
Ni Yang didn’t pay her any mind.
On stage, Teacher Xu continued announcing the scores, "Zhou Xuemei, 591 points!"
Zhou Xuemei scored three points higher than Han Xiaoyu! She was extremely proud, waving her score sheet in front of Ni Yang and whispered, "See? 591 points! Jealous, our school’s number one?"
Teacher Xu intentionally left Ni Yang’s score for last, so it took a long time without mentioning Ni Yang’s score.
So, everyone speculated whether Ni Yang even reached the third-tier college admission score, which is why Teacher Xu delayed announcing it?
For a moment, the looks towards Ni Yang became even more complex.
After announcing everyone else’s scores, Teacher Xu tapped the ruler and then said, "Next, the teacher has an important announcement!"
The class quieted down.
Teacher Xu swallowed, then continued, "This time, our class has produced a national topper!"
National topper?
As these words were spoken, everyone’s expressions varied.
