CHAPTER 72: CHAPTER 55: BURNED INCENSE FOR EIGHT GENERATIONS [SEEKING MONTHLY VOTES]_2

Students: "...Well, might as well wash up and sleep."

...

Meanwhile, in the principal’s office.

Chu River was sitting upright in the office wearing a school uniform, and the first thing that squeezed in was the provincial TV crew’s camera.

The young girl sat on the sofa, her posture straight, her waist and back like a pine tree, and her skin was snow-white and clean. Her looks were impeccable!

It was surely a hot topic!

Especially considering her high score of 742—

The entire Jiangzhou had never seen such a good result!

In all history, she was the first!

The reporter also put on a warm and enthusiastic smile:

"Hello, Chu River, can I ask how you managed to score such a high mark of 742 in an open exam? Do you have any study methods to share with everyone?"

Chu River gazed at the camera, her brows furrowed slightly, looking sincerely willing to answer questions and summarize her experiences.

"I haven’t seen the test papers yet, so I don’t know which question I got wrong to get only 742."

Wow!

The reporter couldn’t help but exclaim. Wow!

Nowadays, these young girls speak in memes right away!

Indeed, this is how the academic stars take exams. The genius show had its first highlight!

He immediately put on an adult’s official smile: "Hahaha, it seems you’re quite confident in yourself, just like a top student, hahaha!"

Chu River sat there upright, and for some reason, her chin slightly raised, exuding a justified confidence of "that’s how it is."

The reporter kept smiling, but suddenly felt that her gaze carried a sense of appreciation, as if the station chief was watching him give a report.

He cleared his throat awkwardly.

Then Chu River continued to answer the remaining questions:

"Regarding study experiences... everyone’s abilities are different, and so are their study methods. Nowadays, with advanced technology, there are many paths to the future. If grades aren’t good, there’s no need to force any particular experience."

"After all, intelligence and learning ability, in the same age group, can sometimes be quite rigidly limited."

It’s well known that intelligence is a vague concept. But in reality, throughout a person’s life, as their knowledge and experiences continue to grow, this data will keep increasing.

But at the same age, there may indeed be some discrepancy.

For instance, in every class, there’s usually a student who sleeps in class, plays games at night, but still manages to ace exams casually.

And then there are students who study intensely under tough conditions, yet their grades remain mediocre, sometimes even easily surpassed by others...

Truth be told, it’s a brutal reality and there is a real gap.

What’s more, learning ability—

Chu River uses spiritual power, able to read fast and infer widely. When learning English, she directly triggers her system’s memory points from the core of vocabulary editing.

Now, she’s just offering some well-meaning advice.

With this explanation, one might say it’s quite meticulous.

But the reporter’s expression turned awkward.

This is a highlight... but not that explosive, right?

Genius or not, the general opinion within the station still leans towards the theme of "youthful positive thinking."

Based on this academic star’s words, isn’t she just saying her intelligence is superior?

Not only drawing envy but also not matching the theme!

He struggled to piece together some words: "Young people, full of vigor and pride, that’s understandable, understandable..."

But after understanding for so long, he couldn’t come up with the next line.

He pondered for a long time, then finally told the cameraman, and turned to find the principal.

"You see... shouldn’t we adjust this interview script a bit?"

...

The principal was quite willing to cooperate, but Old Chen wasn’t.

"Principal, look at you, what are you saying?!"

Having mentored a student like Chu River, Old Chen now spoke more confidently.

"What my student expressed are her own thoughts. If she can score so well, it’s due to her own brainpower. You can’t expect a genius to view the world like ordinary people, right? Can’t just lie to deceive, right?"

"Now that good results are achieved and an interview is arranged, relying on a script for speeches—what’s the point of that!"

Moreover...

Old Chen secretly muttered:

Chu River used to be so shy and reserved! Now she’s starting to let loose, isn’t it a sign that her mindset is changing?

That’s a good thing!

He would never dampen the enthusiasm of young people!

Youngsters, a bit of flamboyance, what’s the harm?

Back in ancient times, scholars in their thirties or forties made slogans, and they were still called proud students.

The educational philosophy in this country, always emphasizing humility, has worn away people’s boldness—it’s pointless.

The principal was stuck, planning to bypass Old Chen to talk with the student, but Chu River already discovered there was no extra pay for the interview, and she left right away.
