Chapter 301: Chapter 300 How Much Is Considered A Lot?

Elite Class? As soon as Zhen Yu heard it, she instantly understood.

Although she hadn’t been in such a class in her past life, it didn’t stop her from hearing about the reputations of the elite and experimental classes. Students in these ’notable’ classes are the top performers of their entire grade!

It looks like she’ll have to work even harder in the coming year! After all, as someone who’s reincarnated, how could she not aim to become the top scorer in the middle school exams? Most importantly! According to the rumors she heard in her past life, the top scorer entering First High School gets a scholarship! She just doesn’t know if the Affiliated School offers one too?!

Money, oh money! Who wouldn’t want it if it’s up for grabs?

As Zhen Yu stood at the door lost in thought, Teacher Liu had already approached Director Sun.

He calmly extended his hand, "Give it to me." Director Sun then passed Zhen Yu’s documents and exam papers to Teacher Liu, and then turned and walked away. As for that inquiry about Zhen Yu’s grades, it was as if he had not heard a thing.

Zhen Yu watched the scene, bewildered. This grade director, does he put on airs or not?!

Before she could ponder any further, Teacher Liu turned and addressed her, "Zhen Yu, right? Come here and copy down the schedule. Be on time for check-in tomorrow! The entire Grade 9 will be on the third floor of the new teaching building," he said, pointing out the window, "There! That building!"

Zhen Yu diligently followed Teacher Liu to his desk, took the pen and paper, and began to copy.

At this moment, Zhen Yu actually missed having a mobile phone! If she had one, a quick ’snap’ would have done the job! No need to bend over and scribble like she was doing now!

Ever since he heard that this girl was assigned to Class 1, Teacher Liu has been observing Zhen Yu.

First impression, she’s not easily intimidated! She doesn’t speak much! But looking at her, she seems to know what she’s doing.

Second impression, her handwriting is absolutely stunning!

Third impression... mhmm! Very polite, and quite perceptive.

For as soon as Zhen Yu finished copying the timetable, she immediately asked, "Teacher Liu, is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I won’t keep you from leaving work."

Teacher Liu cheerfully waved his hand, "Nothing else! If there’s anything, we’ll talk about it tomorrow! You better hurry on home!"

Zhen Yu gave a bow, "Okay! Goodbye, Teacher Liu!"

Zhen Yu hadn’t even reached her doorstep when Mrs. Zhen, from a distance, saw her. Mrs. Zhen hurriedly took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped and waited. "Oh, you are finally back! If I hadn’t known you went to school to check in, I would have thought you got lost! Why didn’t you come home for lunch? How did the exams go? You have another day of exams tomorrow, right? Hurry up! Mom has cooked the meal and we’re just waiting for you. Wash your hands and face quickly and come eat! I’ve been worried all day..."

Zhen Yu knew her mother could be a chatterbox, and with that long list of questions she was asking, Zhen Yu didn’t even think about interrupting to respond right away! She obediently followed her mother home, washed up, sat at the table, and started eating.

Zhen Yan was quite gullible too, in that regard he took after Mrs. Zhen.

As soon as the family of three sat down, he asked, "So, how did it go? How many subjects did you test today? I’m sure you did great! Hiss, it’s just that this two-day testing is taking up class time!"

Mrs. Zhen also looked at her daughter with expectation, waiting for her answer.

"I finished all the exams today; I didn’t come home for lunch because I was rushing for time! I start classes officially tomorrow, and here’s the timetable." Zhen Yu didn’t play coy and, while speaking, took out a neatly folded sheet of paper from her pocket and placed it on the table.

"So you passed the exam, huh! My little sis is awesome!" Zhen Yan said as he quickly grabbed the class schedule and started to review it.

As he looked through it, he couldn’t help but marvel, "Geez! The self-study sessions in the morning and evening are practically at the same time as mine! Whoa! You don’t even get Saturdays off?!"

Mrs. Zhen felt this was quite normal, "Your sister is in eighth grade this year! I’ve heard that this is the most critical year for getting into high school; of course the school has to make good use of time!"

"But Siying Middle School doesn’t even have evening study sessions and they have the weekends off! That’s quite a big difference!"

"Brother! There are dozens and dozens of middle schools under Qi City’s jurisdiction, and the Affiliated School is one of the top-ranked ones. How can you even compare it with Siying School? These two schools are not on the same level!"

"Uh... You have a point!" Although Zhen Yan understood this, he was still a bit worried about his sister. "But are you going to be able to adapt to being managed so tightly? And who’s going to pick you up after evening study, when it ends so late?"

Zhen Yu was not worried at all, "Why would I need someone to pick me up? There are so many students coming and going; I’ll just go with the flow!"

"If there are a lot of students on the road, then there shouldn’t be any problems!" Upon hearing that there were many students walking the same route, Mrs. Zhen felt relieved and set her worries aside.

"Alright! You don’t have to worry about me, I assure you I won’t have any problems!" Zhen Yu then turned the conversation towards Zhen Yan, "You should be more worried about your own grades! If you keep going like this, getting into a top university is going to be uncertain!"

"Ah... What can I do? I’m already trying my best!" Zhen Yan started to complain as soon as the topic of grades came up, "Those students with high rankings seem to want to bury themselves in their books all day! Me,"

"Then you bury yourself in them too! Short on books? Mom will buy you a stack!" Mrs. Zhen interjected immediately.

"Mom! Please spare me..."

Zhen Yan’s change of topic made Zhen Yu forget to mention that she had been placed in the top class, and it wasn’t until after dinner when she went upstairs that she remembered. In her mind, it wasn’t a big deal. She figured it wouldn’t make a difference if she talked about it later, so Zhen Yu put it out of her mind.

——

Late at night, just before sleeping, mother and daughter were lying on the bed side by side.

"Mom, have you posted the flyers around the school?"

"Done! I had Zhang San do it first thing in the morning, running to all the schools!"

"How was the effect?"

"You wouldn’t believe it! People did call to inquire! They asked about how our one card system works!"

"Were there many callers?"

"Umm... It was okay." Mrs. Zhen didn’t have a reference point but couldn’t help asking, "Well, how many would be considered a lot?"

Zhen Yu considered for a moment, "Nearby universities, don’t they all have thousands of students? Take Qi University for instance, it’s tens of thousands. With at most eight to a dorm, and if one call is made per dorm to inquire, based on thirty thousand students, if they all showed interest, that would mean over three thousand calls! At one minute per call, even if you take calls for twelve hours a day, it would still take four to five days to get through them all without a moment’s break..."

"Then not many asked!!" Mrs. Zhen quickly corrected herself, "Today, I only received a few dozen calls at most!"

"A few dozen is not bad for the first day." Zhen Yu didn’t look down on the numbers, "That’s just the first day! The fact that people are asking shows our idea is feasible! Lets wait and see the effects after a week!"

"Sure! We’ll see then! Now sleep! You have to go to school tomorrow!" Mrs. Zhen didn’t directly disappoint her daughter, as even if this new endeavor didn’t pan out, it wouldn’t affect their arcade’s earnings.
