Class 20 was nicknamed the "Underachiever Class" because it was full of underachievers.
The top two underachievers, Ji Zhouye and Chen Nian, suddenly started studying, which really surprised the other dozen or so underachievers.
Chen Nian ranked last, and Ji Zhouye ranked second from the bottom. In every monthly exam, with these two at the bottom, the others could have a good time without any psychological burden.
Once the last two started to work hard, the most panicked one was obviously the third from the bottom.
The third from the bottom silently took out the Chinese textbook and pretended to read it...
Just like this, one influenced two, and two influenced five... Among the more than a dozen underachievers, although not all of them devoted themselves to studying, at least they wouldn't openly chat and play games anymore, because it would make them seem out of place.
After a morning of study, Ji Zhouye's mind was still filled with English words.
He had written down 56 words from memory and was rewarded with 560 yuan... He finally understood the meaning of the phrase "hard - earned money".
It was really damn hard.
The three of them went to the cafeteria together.
Rong Yu swiped her meal card and bought Ji Zhouye a spicy diced fish head to nourish his brain.
After the meal, she was about to go to the library for a stroll.
But she was blocked by Rong Ruoyao: "Sister, which dormitory building do you live in? I've never been to your dormitory."
There was a hint of malice hidden at the corner of her lips.
Because she knew that Rong Yu didn't live in the school dormitory at all.
She must be living with Ji Zhouye in a rented apartment outside.
It was really a disgrace to the Rong Family that she was living with her boyfriend at such a young age in high school.
However, she didn't plan to tell her father about it right now. It would be better to wait until things got out of control.
Rong Yu said, "Just tell me what you want directly."
"Today is Grandpa's birthday. Don't you remember, sister?" Rong Ruoyao said sweetly with a smile, "Dad will come to pick us up later and take us to the hotel to celebrate Grandpa's birthday. Don't leave by yourself first, sister."
Rong Yu pursed her lips.
She was not only a member of the Ji Family but also a member of the Rong Family.
Since she had taken over this body of the original owner, there were indeed some things she couldn't avoid.
She nodded and said, "Okay."
In the afternoon, there was a physics class. After Teacher Pei Yaru finished the class, she asked Rong Yu to go to the office and gave her several newly - released periodicals this month.
Rong Yu took the books and just walked out of the office.
Teacher Yang from the top - student class beside her sneered and said, "Only you, Teacher Pei, are so kind - hearted and willing to invest so much in a repeat student. You'll know when the monthly exam results come out. This kind of student will never repay you with good grades."
Pei Yaru said coldly, "I'm afraid you'll be wrong this time, Teacher Yang."
Teacher Yang rolled her eyes and didn't bother to respond.
Pei Yaru was so angry that she took a big gulp of water.
She didn't want to stay in the same office as Teacher Yang. She got up and went to the classroom for an inspection.
She walked very quietly. She slowly walked to the back of the classroom and quietly looked in through the back window.
At this look, she was stunned.
The underachievers in the last row used to gather to play cards or games during class, but now they were all quietly reading books.
Those students by the window, who used to like to lie on their desks and sleep, were now doing their homework.
And those girls in the innermost part, who used to paint their nails or read novels during class, were now memorizing words...
Pei Yaru thought she was having an illusion and quickly rubbed her eyes.
She wasn't wrong!
These kids had suddenly become motivated.
When the school bell rang in the afternoon, the underachievers in Class 20 all threw away their books at the same time.
"Damn it, pretending to study hard is so tiring."
"Hey, I stared at a poem all afternoon, and I can actually recite it."
"It may not be on the exam. It's a waste of time to recite it. Anyway, I'm too lazy to recite it."
"If you don't recite it, then I won't either."
"If you two don't recite it, then I won't either..."
Just as they were chatting, they heard someone reciting a classical Chinese essay.
"Fish is what I desire. Bear's paw is also what I desire..."
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Ji Zhouye who was reciting.
He could recite such a difficult essay fluently.
Oh my god, how could the underachievers live like this.
"Not bad," Rong Yu said. "I've transferred the money. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Ji Zhouye picked up his phone and took a look.
It was a WeChat transfer of 1,000 yuan.
Although the classical Chinese essay was a bit difficult, the reward was high. If it went on like this, he would be financially free sooner or later...
"I won't go gaming tonight," Ji Zhouye sat down at his desk. "Let me finish reciting this article first. 'In ancient times, those who wished to learn must have had teachers. A teacher is one who transmits the Way, imparts knowledge, and resolves doubts...'"
Chen Nian silently sat down beside him.
He opened his book and started to recite poems.
The underachievers in Class 20 were shocked!
No, they couldn't let the last two outperform them. It would be too embarrassing!
Rong Yu had no idea that the learning atmosphere in Class 20 had changed so much.
When she walked to the school gate, she saw the Rong Family's car. Rong Wangtian was driving, and Shen Lin was sitting in the front passenger seat. She and Rong Ruoyao were sitting in the back seat, separated by a schoolbag in the middle.
Rong Wangtian suddenly realized that he hadn't seen this daughter for almost half a month.
After not seeing her for a few days, he always felt that there was something different about her. She was no longer so timid and submissive. Her eyes were clear, and she finally looked a bit like the eldest daughter of the Rong Family.
He said, "When we get to the hotel later, greet people politely. Don't let Grandpa pick on your manners again."
Rong Yu didn't say anything.
The car soon arrived at the entrance of a hotel in the city center.
As soon as Rong Yu got out of the car, she saw Old Master Rong sitting on a chair, chatting happily with Rong Qing'an.
Old Master Rong had two sons. The eldest son had two daughters, and the second son, Rong Wangtian, also had two daughters at first. Finally, he had a son, Rong Qing'an, whom the old man doted on like anything.
Rong Qing'an was already in the first year of junior high school, but the old man still lovingly held him on his lap.
This scene made Rong Yu's eyes hurt, and she quickly shifted her gaze.
All the members of the Rong Family had brought gifts.
Rong Yu took out a box of tea she had prepared in advance and handed it over, saying, "I wish Grandpa good health and a long life."
Old Master Rong nodded and said, "You're more sensible than before. You even know to bring gifts for the elders."
"The packaging is so shabby," Rong Family Eldest Aunt frowned. "Is it a few - yuan box of tea bought from a street stall? Rong Yu, you're being too reckless. How can you give this to the old man to drink?"
Old Master Rong's face immediately darkened a bit, and he threw the tea on the table.
"It's the child's good intention," Grandma Rong frowned and picked up the tea. "Xiao Yu is busy with her studies. It's already very good that she thought of buying a gift."
The old lady opened the tea box, and a light, fragrant smell wafted out.
Old Master Rong immediately turned his head and asked, "What kind of tea is this? It smells so good."
"Is this, Da Hong Pao?" Rong Wangtian, who knew about tea, leaned over to take a look and smell it. "And it's from Wuyi Mountain. It's the king of teas. This small box is not cheap at all. Xiao Yu, where did you buy it?"
The king of teas was not just about the price. The main thing was that it was hard to buy. It was priceless.
Rong Yu shrugged and said, "I don't know."
She really didn't know where it was bought.
There was a big box of this kind of tea at home. She thought it tasted quite good, so she put a box in her schoolbag.
It happened that it was Old Master Rong's birthday, and she didn't prepare a gift in advance, so she just used this as a substitute.
"Your luck is really good, kid," Old Master Rong quickly picked up the tea leaves. "Such a wonderful thing, and you actually got it at a bargain."
He quickly handed it to Rong Wangtian. "I heard that the Rong Family is going to cooperate with the Ji Group. Keep this tea to entertain the senior executives of the Ji Group. Don't treat them negligently."
