249 249 Physics Competition
After lunch, Tan Rou took a nap before returning to school. However, on the way there, an unexpected person stopped her.
“Do you find it interesting?” Zhang Huan came up and scolded her, “It’s amazing to do well in the exam, right? You had only gotten first place a few times. Did you really have to go around telling people about it?! Look at how amazing you are. You’re the teacher’s new darling. Song Lin should definitely surpass you this time. Just wait and see for this monthly exam!”
After saying that, she glared at Tan Rou fiercely and quickened her pace to go to school.
Tan Rou was dumbfounded and asked three questions in her heart, What’s the matter? Why did she say that about Zhang Huan? Was there something wrong with her brains?
Although she and Zhang Huan were neighbors and classmates, they weren’t very close. It hadn’t been long since she returned to the Tao family, and because of her previous self, Zhang Huan didn’t like to be close to her.
There was no need for Zhang Huan to curry favor with Tan Rou. After being criticized by Zhang Huan today, Tan Rou had no idea what had just happened.
Tan Rou was speechless. She had just been in a good mood that her relationship with Tao Qi had improved. In the end, she was suddenly scolded for no reason, and her good mood was gone.
However, in the afternoon class, the physics teacher announced something. This caused the challenge that she had with Song Lin to be postponed because the monthly test was postponed.
“Are you kidding me?” As soon as the physics teacher left the classroom, the students in the class began to complain. “Now they want us to spend time participating in the physics competition. Where do we find the time?”
“Not everyone is participating. There are only three spots.”
“But if we win the gold medal in this physics competition, it will be a bonus for the college entrance examination. I think the teacher wants us to participate actively because of this.”
“Not only that.” Xu Yan was very well-informed. “The school places a lot of importance on this physics competition. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have postponed the monthly exam.”
“Class monitor, is it that important? Isn’t it held once every year?”
“Not entirely.” Xu Yan said, “Although the competition we are participating in this time is within the province, the top five will participate in the national competition. If they win, they will also represent the country in international competitions. At that time, it won’t just be a bonus for the college entrance examination. I also heard that the top ten in the domestic competition might even be directly admitted to Capital University.”
Capital University was the top university in the country. It was located in the economic and political center of the city. It was a place where many students dreamed of studying.
“Really?” The students were skeptical. “I didn’t hear anything in regards to that.”
Li Li said, “You have to believe what the class monitor said. Do you think the class monitor is the kind of person who likes to joke around?”
Xu Yan never joked.
When the rest of the students heard this, their enthusiasm to participate increased. This path was much easier than trying to break their heads to study for the college entrance exam. Moreover, even if they were not selected, it did not matter. They could still come back to participate in the college entrance exam. It would not hinder anything.
Wei Ling received a hint from Tan Rou to encourage Tan Jing to participate in the physics competition. Tan Jing’s physics results were excellent and she often ranked first in the subject. This was also one of the subjects she liked to show off.
“Jingjing, you should also participate in the physics competition!” Wei Ling said, “Your physics grades are so good, you’ll definitely get good grades. When the time comes, you’ll win the provincial award, then the national award, and finally the international award!”
Tan Jing was convinced. She seemed to have seen herself standing on the international podium with the media and flashing lights below. As she thought about it, she smiled.
When she won the award and entered Capital University, she would be qualified to enter the social circle in the capital. At that time, she would not be interested in the little Lu Qing. She would marry into the Tao family from the capital and be the mistress.
She heard from Chen Yi that the Tao family was very satisfied with her. She thought so too. Otherwise, why did they have to get in touch with her after she returned to the Tan family?
At the thought of this, Tan Jing did not forget to put on an act. “Sure, I would like to participate in the physics competition this time, but there’s still Lu Qing and Song Lin ahead of me…” Especially the hateful Tan Rou!
Wei Ling said sincerely, “Song Lin’s physics grades aren’t top-notch. Usually, he only gets around 80 to 90 points. Lu Qing is a difficult person to deal with. Just treat it as if he has a spot. As for Tan Rou…”
She glanced at Tan Rou. Tan Jing signaled for her to continue. She smiled as she said, “Don’t you want to defeat Tan Rou? Beat her in the physics competition and make her walk out of the competition crying.”
Tan Jing was completely convinced by her. She wanted to defeat Tan Rou. Although Tan Rou was first in the overall results, it did not mean that she was good in every subject. She would make mistakes sooner or later.
“Alright, I’ll give it a try.” At this time, Tan Jing was still putting on airs. “I’m just going to try. I may not be able to get any good results.”
