Chen Xi recalled what Qiao Weimin had said over the phone yesterday. She pressed his lips into a thin line and softly said, ''The results aren't good.''

''That's usually the case for the people who pull strings to transfer schools. In any case, our class doesn't accept this. As you said, this is their third year, they are too close to college entrance examination. What's the point of transferring over here if her results aren't good? She'll pull down the class to average!"

Class C's head teacher seemed to agree. ''That's true!"

The teachers had their assessments as well. Their year-end bonus depended very much on their students' results. Nobody wanted to sacrifice their benefits for no good reason.

Chen Xi quickly picked out her students' information from the stack of documents on her desk. She held them to her chest and said to Class C's head teacher, ''I've sorted out my students' documents for the start of the semester. Old Liu, I'll get going first.''

Seeing that she was about to leave, Class C's head teacher was shocked and tried to keep her around. ''The transfer student is already here. Aren't you going to find out how she does in her examination?"

Chen Xi had already told Qiao Weimin that she wouldn't let Qiao Nian join her class. Hence, it didn't matter whether Qiao Nian's results could make it or not. That said, she didn't think Qiao Nian  was good enough for Class B, anyway!

''No, I'll be going to my class. I've to announce some good news.''

Class C's head teacher had heard about it and now had a look of envy. ''Qiao Chen from your class already reserved a spot in Ren Yi, right? That's great, I've been seeing this news all over the notice board in the school. You'll be the head teacher of a future star. Don't forget your colleagues when out are famous!"

''Haha, I'll get going first.''

...

The dean came over to hand Qiao Nian her examination paper, as well as a sheet of rough paper and pen. ''The principal isn't here yet. Sit here and take your paper first, I'll mark it for you when you're done. The principal will decide which class you will join.''

''Alright.''

Qiao Nian took the paper casually and scanned the questions.

As she guessed, they were all insubstantial questions. How absurd!

Examinations were always like this. The questions were never useful for the students future.

The dean thought that she was stunned by the questions and said in a rare comforting tone, ''There are English, Chinese, Physics and Chemistry questions in this paper. You have 90 minutes to complete them, so don't worry, take your time to write. Quality is more important than quality...''

Qiao Nian nodded, seeming to have heard him. She put the paper down  and did not use the pen given to her by the dean. She took out a black liquid gel pen from her bag instead.

''Take your time to write.''

Seeing that she'd started answering the questions, he went to join the other teachers in sorting out his class materials.

He wasn't worried that Qiao Nian would cheat. There were surveillance cameras in the office and so many teachers were around. If this transfer student really cheated, it simply meant she wasn't smart enough, nor were her values right!

...

Some time passed.

Half an hour later.

Qiao Nian put her pen down and called out of the blue. ''Teacher, I'm done.''

The dean was a little shocked after hearing her. He walked over and asked, ''That's fast. Aren't you going to check it through?"

Qiao Nian capped her pen and said a little coldly. ''There's no need.''

''...''

He went over and picked up her paper. He could see that she'd finished every question, but still fulfilled his duty by saying, ''Student Qiao Nian, this will affect which class you'll be going to. You've got to be serious.''

Qiao Nian looked up. ''Mm, I completed it very seriously.''

At least, this was the most serious she had been for an examination.

The dean could tell that she really wasn't going to look through it again. He sighed and said, ''Alright then, I'll mark it for you.''

The other teachers gathered when they saw that he was about mark the paper. All of them were interested in knowing how the transfer student did!
