“Haha.” This time, it was Tang Xi who was laughing. She casually looked at her deskmate and sneered. “Why? Why should I solve some more problems as you ordered? Who do you think you are?”
“Peng Yu, my name is Peng Yu. I’m the commissary in charge of studies of the experimental class.” Peng Yu stared at Tang Xi and said coldly, “Why do you refuse? Is it because you dare not or you just don’t have the ability?”
“Haha.” Tang Xi turned to Pu Guoqing who was standing on the platform and didn’t speak, and she asked frowning, “Mr. Pu, why don’t you speak? You don’t believe me either?”
Pu Guoqing surely believed her, because he had accidentally seen this girl solving math problems on the blackboard once he passed by the experimental class of Grade One. She was really fast at solving those math problems! But in order to convince and motivate the students, he must have Xiao Rou solve some problems on the blackboard, at any expense!
“You can put forward your conditions.” Pu Guoqing looked at Tang Xi and said seriously, “You don’t hope your new classmates doubt your ability, right? And you don’t want to leave them with a bad impression, right? So put forward your conditions. How will you agree to solve the problems I will give you on the backboard?”
Tang Xi smiled, looked at Peng Yu who had been hostile to her, and said with a smile, “How about this? Let me make a bet with our commissary in charge of studies. I’ll solve the problems on the blackboard and she’ll do that on her seat. Let’s see which of us will finish solving the problems first. If she finishes first, I’ll go back to the Grade one and stay there, but if I do first, she should resign from the position of commissary in charge of studies. And Mr. Pu, I want you to promise me one more thing, because you actually take sides with her.”
Pu Guoqing secretly sighed. Silly girl, I’m siding with you! I do this to clear up the students’ misunderstanding of you! But he had to nod…
Looking at Tang Xi who was so confident, Ning Ke smiled. Seeing him smile, his deskmate blushed again.
Tang Xi looked at Peng Yu who didn’t speak, and raised her eyebrows, asking, “What? You dare not accept my challenge?”
Peng Yu lunged to her feet and said hatefully, “Okay, let’s bet!”
Pu Guoqing coughed. “Ok, then I’ll give you some maths problems.”
Tang Xi looked at Pu Guoqing and smiled as she said, “I think it’s unfair if it’s you who give us the problems. How can I be sure that the students haven’t done these problem before? That’s unfair to me, right? How about inviting the director of studies to give us the problems? But of course we can’t tell him what happened.” Tang Xi smiled when she saw Pu Guoqing give a melancholy look. “After all, we should be fair and just, shouldn’t we? It wouldn’t be very nice for us if the director of studies know why we have this bet. After all, you all know my family’s relations with the school. What if the other students think I’ve colluded with the director of studies?”
“Okay, it’s not necessary to bother the director of studies. Let’s ask the director of math of Grade Three to give the problems.”
With that, Pu Guoqing took out his cellphone and called ask the director of math of Grade Three, asking him to come over.
Tang Xi smiled and some students said to her, “Xiao Rou, nice try. You’ve made our commissary in charge of studies have the sense of crisis. As the best student in our class, she only gave others the sense of crisis. And you’ve made her lost her composure…”
“Really?” Tang Xi interrupted them with a smile. “I think she is jealous of me! Or to be exact, she has an inferiority complex. Once someone is better than her, she will accuse that person of cheating!”
The student fell silent. Although they agreed with what she said, Peng Yu was still the commissary in charge of studies. What if she picked on them in future? So they’d better keep silent before the result came out.
Soon the director of math, Director Jiang, had come. Pu Guoqing hurriedly walked up to him and Director Jiang frowned at Pu Guoqing, asking, “Why are you in such a hurry to have me come here?”
Pu Guoqing wiped his sweat and looked at Director Jiang, saying, “These children said the math problems I gave to them are too simple, and they solved them out too soon.” Pu guoqing pointed to the problems on the blackboard as he said, “So I want you to help me give them some difficult problems to solve to let them know their distance. Otherwise, if they’re too confident of themselves, they won’t treat math seriously! Who knows what kind of math problems will be in the college entrance examination? We should teach them a lesson.”
Pu Guoqing’s words seemed to imply something. The students thought he was warning Tang Xi, but the latter knew who he was actually warning. She raised her eyebrows, looked at and thought that it seemed that she might be able to ask for a week’s leave from Mr. Pu. He seemed to be a sensible person.
Listening to Pu Guoqing’s words, Director Jiang looked back at the problem on the blackboard and nodded. “Good, good, you’re all worthy students of the experimental class. I just got some good math problems from the Empire High School yesterday. Let me show them to you. It took me quite a while to solve them out last night. Even I feel these problems are hard. You can have a try. Let me see whether you’re truly the pride of our school.”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. Haha, “the math problems from the Empire High School”. Was the god helping her??
Director Jiang began to write these problems on the blackboard. Watching him write, Tang Xi frowned and the answers began to pop up in her mind. Director Jiang wrote the problems and patted Pu Guoqing on the shoulder, laughing, “Not bad, Mr. Pu, an accomplished disciple must have a great teacher.”
Pu Guoqing smiled helplessly. “I’m flattered.” Then he looked at Tang Xi. “You can start solving the problems now.”
“Start?” Director Jiang asked in doubt and Pu Guoqing told him about the bet. Director Jiang looked at Tang Xi with wide open eyes, “Really?”
Tang Xi smiled and answered, “Since the commissary in charge of studies wants me to prove I wasn’t cheating, I don’t mind proving to her.”
With that, she turned to look at the other students, saying, “I hope the teachers and students can judge for us.”
Director Jiang said, “Yes, we’re all looking at you. We’re all the judges. You two can get started.”
Tang Xi nodded, took a look at Peng Yu who had began to solve the problems, and slowly walked up to the platform. Tang Xi looked at the problems on the blackboard, picked up a piece of chalk and began to write on the blackboard… She wrote even faster than transcribing answers…
