CHAPTER 250: CHAPTER 250 ORIGINAL SIN 59

Hao Jianxing grunted, then scrutinized Yun Shuangshuang up and down with a critical eye. In truth, Hao Jianxing didn’t particularly like Yun Shuangshuang, whom he viewed as someone who used connections to study at the school.

A person who hadn’t attended school from a young age and then used connections to get into high school and sit for the university entrance exam, especially at his City No.1 Middle School, Hao Jianxing didn’t think Yun Shuangshuang would have any genuine capability.

Even though yesterday his good friend Professor Zhang called him and repeatedly boasted in a proud tone that City No.1 Middle School had gained a great advantage by having Yun Shuangshuang introduced there, it couldn’t change Hao Jianxing’s perception that Yun Shuangshuang was a student who used connections.

While Hao Jianxing was assessing Yun Shuangshuang, the door of the principal’s office was knocked again, and this time a stern-looking middle-aged woman entered.

The middle-aged woman held a stack of papers in her hand; Yun Shuangshuang guessed that it must be the test papers and questions for her. The woman’s gaze toward Yun Shuangshuang was very cold, carrying a sense of suppression. Yun Shuangshuang could clearly see the dislike and rejection in the woman’s eyes.

Hao Jianxing said indifferently to Yun Shuangshuang, "This is Teacher Chu, your future homeroom teacher. She will oversee your exam today."

Yun Shuangshuang knew that both Hao Jianxing and Teacher Chu were dissatisfied with her using connections, but she didn’t care. No matter how many good words Professor Zhang said when introducing her, it couldn’t change the fact that she used connections, which usually represents lack of capability!

Lack of capability is a drag for a school; for a homeroom teacher, it simplifies to one thing: affecting performance, which is directly linked to salary. So, it would be curious if both Principal Hao and Teacher Chu liked her.

Teacher Chu didn’t speak either; she just spread the papers in her hand in front of Yun Shuangshuang coldly and said, "Answer the questions. Let me warn you: if your results don’t reach the passing line, our school won’t admit you."

Evidently, Teacher Chu had very low expectations of Yun Shuangshuang, so low that merely reaching a pass was considered satisfactory, which could be seen as an alternative form of contempt and insult.

Yun Shuangshuang frowned, feeling uncomfortable with Teacher Chu’s attitude, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she quickly adjusted her mood and picked up the pen to start answering the questions. After all, Yun Shuangshuang had even self-studied university questions, so answering high school questions was no problem.

Initially, the Teacher Chu sitting next to Yun Shuangshuang, watching her answer the questions, was just performing her duty, with dissatisfaction clearly written on her face. But gradually, the dissatisfaction faded, turning into attentiveness, then attentiveness into shock, and finally setting into delight!

At first, Teacher Chu thought Yun Shuangshuang was another student who used connections to lower the class’s scoreline, which naturally displeased her. The class she currently taught, Class Three of Senior Year, was not the top student class; its students were generally average.

Teacher Chu genuinely loved teaching. There is a natural inclination in people to teach, and in Teacher Chu, this was magnified infinitely. She had once nurtured many outstanding top students and had been selected as an outstanding teacher.

But Teacher Chu thought, many top students naturally love learning, while students with poor grades need a responsible teacher more, because these mischievous students are often abandoned by their teachers.

But Teacher Chu believed that if even educators gave up on their students, then they did not deserve to be teachers! So, Teacher Chu proactively requested to take on classes with weak students.

Teacher Chu was a genuine mentor, wishing to educate more excellent students and enable those with poor academic performance to learn more knowledge. Knowledge is the foundation of changing fate.

Teacher Chu believed that her conscientious effort might change a student’s entire life. It was precisely because of Teacher Chu’s dedication that, even though she took on classes with weak students, by the time they graduated, her students were typically the ones who had improved the most.

Among them were not a few who transformed from poor students into outstanding ones. Teacher Chu’s responsible actions naturally allowed her to have students all over the world. She taught classes with weak students, but her bonuses were even higher than those of top student classes’ homeroom teachers. She was also the most respected teacher among students because, in her class, she treated all students equally, truly achieving fairness and justice.

Of course, there were things Teacher Chu disliked, and that was students who used connections. In her view, poor academic performance can improve with effort, with trying hard in studies, but using connections should not be condoned. This was also the reason for her initial negative impression of Yun Shuangshuang.

However, all these negative impressions changed when she saw Yun Shuangshuang effortlessly scribbling away at the answers without pause.

Teacher Chu had always been diligent with lesson plans and test papers. The set of papers she brought was a mock exam for her students in preparation for the university entrance exam; every question she had memorized thoroughly. So, while Yun Shuangshuang was answering the questions, Teacher Chu quickly discerned that all of Yun Shuangshuang’s answers were correct!

In her shock, Teacher Chu suddenly recalled the words she had heard in the principal’s office yesterday when her friend had recommended Yun Shuangshuang with almost boastful pride.

Professor Zhang had said, "Old Hao, if it weren’t for our years of friendship, I would never introduce this kid to you. I’m telling you, you’re making a huge gain! You’ve got a genius student for free! Don’t take it lightly; we’ll see who’s right tomorrow when you see the student I’ve introduced. Then you’ll know the great advantage you’ve gained!"

Watching Yun Shuangshuang, who was nearing the end of the test at a blazing speed, Teacher Chu felt that it was more than just a huge gain; it was an enormous windfall! At that moment, Teacher Chu suddenly shared the same thought as Professor Zhang; it was truly a pity that such an outstanding child had never received systematic instruction!

Hao Jianxing was initially sitting behind his desk, busy with his tasks. He paused midway intending to take a sip of water and check on Yun Shuangshuang’s progress. But then he was shocked to see Teacher Chu, who sat beside Yun Shuangshuang, looking at her paper with much excitement, her eyes gleaming, while desperately trying to restrain herself, her face twitching uncontrollably. This immediately startled Hao Jianxing!

Hao Jianxing was familiar with this behavior of Teacher Chu. Every time she turned a poor student into an excellent one, this was the face she would make—a smile of extreme joy held under great restraint. His interest was piqued immediately.

Could it be that Yun Shuangshuang was truly as talented as Professor Zhang claimed? Such an outstanding student using connections? No matter how one thought about it, it seemed unreliable! Driven by curiosity, Hao Jianxing stood up, planning to go and take a closer look at Yun Shuangshuang’s test paper.
