If Li Yang knew that even with his current skills, he was no match for Xue Tao, he would understand why Xue Tao laughed so hard when she heard those words.
"Is what I said funny? Damn, I've made a fool of myself again today!" Li Yang flicked the gold-embossed business card in frustration. Could he sell it to make some money?
Chapter 34: Beautiful lady, don't bother me.
Li Yang spoke arrogantly, but he still stuffed the business card into his pocket. He went home. Now, because of his changes, his parents didn't really care about his occasional unpredictable return home.
However, he had a mock exam this afternoon, so after going home, he quickly ate dinner and went straight to school. He did very well on the exam that afternoon.
But thinking that getting any score would be a waste of my brain, I decided to get a more special score, which would be a fair assessment of myself.
Well, it would be good if each subject score was 10 points higher than the promotion exam score. That way, the total score would be 50 or 60 points higher than the promotion exam score. A difference of 50 or 60 points would significantly improve the score of someone who ranks 15th in their class and 100th in the grade, at least putting them in the top 10 in their class and the top 50 in the grade.
Hehe, let's do it this way! It'll be a good way to do justice to my super brain.
The day and a half of exams passed by in the blink of an eye, and the results were graded in less than a day.
This shows how much the school leaders care about and value their senior students. After all, people judge a high school's level by its college entrance examination pass rate.
At the No. 1 High School in the city, the top ten students have no problem getting into Peking University and Tsinghua University, and the top fifty students are more than enough to get into the top ten universities in the country! Therefore, if Li Yang can get into the top fifty in his grade, it will be enough to make his parents proud.
And it won't attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
During evening self-study, homeroom teacher Yang Ming walked into the classroom with the report card. His eyes swept around the room, but Li Yang felt that Yang Ming looked at him a few more times. Damn, was he just imagining things?
"Everyone's results were pretty good this time, not much different from the promotion exam, quite stable. However, the one who improved the most is Li Yang from our class. He was 15th in the class and 102nd in the grade in the promotion exam, but he improved a lot in this mock exam, ranking 8th in the class and 49th in the grade. He is the one who improved the most. Everyone should learn from him!" Yang Ming finished reading the results on the report card and singled out Li Yang for praise.
Li Yang lay on the table, ignoring everyone. "Damn it, I hate it when people praise me."
Gao Yan and Zhou Zheng, who were in the corner, both looked very unhappy. They almost wanted to spit blood when they heard Li Yang being praised. They were only applauding because he came in last place.
Yang Ming saw that Li Yang was neither excited nor flamboyant, and nodded secretly in approval. He was good at keeping his composure, but at the same time, he had some doubts. Was this really his true achievement?
"Li Yang, did you have extra classes during the holidays? Your grades aren't usually very good, but you did quite well this time, showing significant improvement. Do you have any good study methods to share with everyone?" Yang Ming asked Li Yang as he came downstairs.
"No, I mainly took extra classes during the holidays. I was so confused about the test myself, I can't believe I got such a high score. Hehe..." Li Yang chuckled foolishly.
Yang Ming frowned slightly. Was it just a fluke? Sigh, what a pity. He thought he was a promising talent; with proper nurturing, he could have easily gotten into Peking or Tsinghua University, or at least stayed in the top fifty of his class. It seems his chances are slim.
"You still need to keep it up and study hard. Go to the Dean of Students' office after class, I need to talk to you about something." As he said this, a strange look flashed across Yang Ming's face. Li Yang's eyes were sharp enough to catch it immediately. Damn it, you old pervert! If I didn't know who the Dean of Students was, I wouldn't understand what you meant. But now, hehe, even if you had eight lives, you'd only dare to fantasize about it while you're having sex with your old hag, you wouldn't dare to show her the slightest disrespect.
"Oh, I see. Teacher Yang." Li Yang nodded in agreement, ignoring Yang Ming's probing gaze. Yang Ming shook his head slightly and walked away. Didn't this kid know the new director?
Why did this director with such a powerful background specifically request to see him upon taking office? Yang Ming really couldn't understand himself, this new student.
"By the way, Teacher Yang, do you know what the new director's last name is? And is he good-tempered?" Li Yang looked at him nervously, just like all the other students. After all, students would be very nervous if they heard that the director was summoning them, thinking that something bad was about to happen. Even if nothing bad happened, they would still be nervous.
Yang Ming looked at Li Yang, who had a nervous expression, and found it a little funny. He was just an ordinary student. He had only gotten such a score by guessing. He didn't even know the director's surname. How could he possibly have any connection with the director?
Forget it, there's no need to waste time and energy on him.
"The director's surname is Cao, so you need to be careful. Don't embarrass me," Yang Ming said somewhat seriously.
"I understand, Teacher Yang," Li Yang nodded. You idiot, I'll make you pay!
"Li Yang, someone's looking for you!" the boy sitting by the door shouted in a strange voice.
Li Yang was also somewhat surprised. When did he become such a busy person, receiving so many people? Looking up, he was surprised to see Zhao Lihua. Li Yang immediately understood why the boy had called her that.
All eyes in the classroom immediately focused on Li Yang's face. The school beauty, the school beauty took the initiative to find the boy, what is their relationship?
What Li Yang hates most right now is being the center of attention. At this moment, with the eyes of the whole class focused on him, he even had the urge to slap Zhao Lihua. Isn't this blatantly framing me? Making me the target of everyone's criticism?
If he hadn't needed to see the director of political education, he really would have ignored her and let her wait there like an idiot.
"What do you want from me? Please, can you call me when there are fewer people around, preferably when no one is around?" Li Yang said to Zhao Lihua irritably as he walked out.
Zhao Lihua was initially overjoyed to ask him for the manuscript, but then thought she would give him face and take the initiative to find him herself. As the school beauty, she would be giving him enough face by taking the initiative to find him, and let him be smug and show off.
Unexpectedly, she was met with cold words and retorted, feeling wronged, "What's wrong with me? Am I someone you can't face? Does knowing me make you look bad?"
"No, it's precisely because you're so famous and have met so many people that I'm afraid. Do you understand what I mean?" Li Yang explained.
Zhao Lihua's expression softened, but she still glared at Li Yang with displeasure and said, "Such a big shot. Where's the manuscript?" She could tell that Li Yang was a man of few words, a super-submersible atomic bomb who didn't like to attract attention.
"I haven't written it yet," Li Yang said embarrassedly.
"What? The layout is about to start and you haven't written anything yet?" Zhao Lihua was getting a little frantic. Was this person just trying to fool her?
"What's there to be afraid of? When are you going to format it?" Li Yang said nonchalantly, rubbing his nose.
"It will begin tomorrow afternoon." Zhao Lihua tried hard not to lose her composure.
Chapter 35: Being Targeted by a Beautiful Woman
"How about I give you three tomorrow morning? Each one is a little over a thousand words," Li Yang casually replied. Writing those things was a piece of cake for him now; they were just pretentious essays, right? With his brain capacity and his arrogant self-confidence, writing such things was too easy for him.
"Fine. I'll see how you submit your manuscript tomorrow." Zhao Lihua was getting a little annoyed. This guy was too arrogant. It would take her a day or two to write a thousand-word manuscript, but he wanted to write three in half a day. She couldn't help but wonder if she had picked the wrong person.
Even if he has some skills, knows some couplets, and understands some martial arts, is he really a person who can accomplish great things? Although he did not covet fame, which most people cannot do, it does not mean that he is particularly outstanding.
An arrogant army is bound to be defeated.
Zhao Lihua turned and left. Li Yang touched his nose, secretly annoyed. Even the most beautiful woman is a troublesome creature. It's just a few articles; why make such a big deal out of it?
"Did you see that? He and Zhao Lihua are getting closer and closer. No way, I have to make a move. I'm so frustrated! I'm telling you, Zhou Zheng, if you give me another bad idea, I'll slap your ass!" Gao Yan said angrily, glaring at Zhou Zheng.
"Boss, look at you, tall and strong, with top-notch basketball skills, and a few of us who can play guard. Why don't you play a basketball game with him? Since you might not be a match for him in a fight, I think he's definitely no match for him in basketball!" Zhou Zheng came up with another bad idea.
