Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 155 Freshman Evening Party Program
Experimental Middle School has a long-standing tradition of holding freshman parties. Although the school has only been established for ten years, it has not prevented it from attracting many good students by recruiting teachers with high salaries. Furthermore, through the elite class that has been held for three years, many students have entered key high schools in Chaozhou and then been admitted to key universities, thus increasing the college entrance examination pass rate.

Moreover, the performance group for the freshman welcome party spans from kindergarten to junior high school. Kindergarten students must put on at least one program, and the remaining programs are filled in by elementary and junior high school students.

On the first day of class, during the first class meeting, the homeroom teacher mentioned this matter in class.

The class that Shen Qingqing took the exam for was the top student class for students from outside the school in the first year of junior high school. According to convention, the two top student classes in each grade need to put on a show together.

After the homeroom teacher, Ms. Fang Chengying, finished explaining the details of the party, she glanced at the students below the stage and added, "If you have any good ideas or performances that you are particularly confident in, you can come and tell me. If there are more than three programs to be selected, the two classes will hold a joint class meeting to elect the winners."

Shen Qingqing wasn't very interested in this kind of performance, but now that she was in junior high school, she no longer had the same privileges as when she was in elementary school, where she could secretly skip activities she didn't want to participate in.

So she could only keep quiet and not take on any trouble for herself.

Besides those who are exceptionally good at studying, there are also those who are both good at studying and good at socializing. As soon as Fang Chengying finished speaking, Shen Qingqing caught a glimpse of two or three hands raised out of the corner of her eye.

Fang Chengying saw it too, and told them to come to her office after class.

After discussing the party, the next step was to proceed with the selection of class officers.

Neither Shen Qingqing nor Wu Fangyi had any ideas, but they didn't expect that after the class officers were selected, the homeroom teacher, Fang Chengying, would directly choose Shen Qingqing as her English class representative.

That's right, the homeroom teacher, Fang Chengying, is also the English teacher of Class 9 in the first year of junior high school, and also the English teacher of another top-performing class.

Shen Qingqing never expected that she would be noticed by the homeroom teacher so suddenly and be assigned the task of leading the reading every Tuesday and Thursday, as well as before each English class.

The class meeting ended quickly, and the students who had raised their hands earlier to express their ideas for the evening's program hurriedly followed Fang Chengying to the office.

"Qingqing, come to my office and get your English exam paper for the entrance exam."

Shen Qingqing obediently stood up and followed Fang Chengying.

The workstation next to Fang Chengying is the same one where the head teacher of another elite class is located, and a small group of students have already arrived there.

Shen Qingqing blinked. Many of the local students in the elite class actually came from the Experimental Primary School Affiliated to the university, and their families were not poor, so they naturally knew a lot of things.

Fang Chengying met with the homeroom teacher of the class next door and they started chatting, looking for test papers while talking about the evening's program.

"Wow, Ms. Liu, so many students in your class are willing to perform!" Fang Chengying said with a hint of envy.

Since each class is required to put on a performance at the freshman welcome party, the quality of their performance will be part of the performance evaluation for the class teacher.

Liu Shiyun, the homeroom teacher of the elite class next door, laughed, "That's right, as soon as I finished speaking in class, they all couldn't wait to do it."

Fang Chengying found the stack of test papers, pulled them out, and, hearing what Liu Shiyun said, wasn't in a hurry to give the papers to Shen Qingqing. "So, what good ideas do you have?" Liu Shiyun smiled slightly, glanced at the students standing beside her, and the girl in the lead immediately chimed in, "Teacher Fang, our class has come up with something! We've come up with an all-English version of The Count of Monte Cristo!"

Fang Chengying frowned slightly: "Isn't this too difficult?"

Liu Shiyun continued, "That's what I told them too, but they even prepared the script. I took a look at it, and although it was slightly modified, it was still complete and ready for rehearsal. The students are so enthusiastic, I can't discourage them."

After saying that, he handed the script to Fang Chengying.

Fang Chengying glanced through it twice and immediately understood that if the script could reach a certain level of completion, the program would definitely win an award at the gala.

She glanced at the students who had come with her, and still wanted to ask them for their opinions: "Bohang, what are your thoughts?"

The boy named Bohang, the newly appointed class monitor, glanced at the script in Fang Chengying's hand and said somewhat embarrassedly, "We're planning to do a medley of songs set in a school environment..."

Between the medley of songs and The Count of Monte Cristo, it's obvious which program will win the favor of school leaders and teachers.

Unexpectedly, Fang Chengying asked, "Have you prepared a project proposal yet?"

Zhang Bohang became even more embarrassed and shook his head: "Not yet, we just came up with this idea during our class meeting..."

Fang Chengying wanted to say something more, but Liu Shiyun interrupted her.

"Teacher Fang, since your class doesn't have any ready-made programs, why not just choose our program? We can start rehearsing as soon as we find students, which will save time spent on communication and planning."

When Zhang Bohang and his classmates heard what the other teacher said, they looked at each other and lowered their heads in disappointment.

"Whether it's ready or not depends on how well they write their proposal. The students who are recruited aren't like the students who come up from our school. They don't know about the gala early on and can prepare in advance." Fang Chengying didn't follow Liu Shiyun's lead. "A medley of campus-themed songs sounds like a good idea. We can compare the two programs and see, or we can ask the director if our two classes can put on two programs."

Liu Shiyun had nothing to say and could only take the script back.

If it weren't for the school's rule that the two top-performing classes must collaborate on the performance and not perform separately, she would have preferred to gather everyone from their class and present the performance directly.

Fang Chengying ignored her and told Zhang Bohang and the others to go back and write the proposal. She was in charge of recruiting top students every year, but most of the students in the top students class were quite simple and honest and hadn't done many activities. They were hard to compare with the students in the direct-entry top students class. For three consecutive years, the programs were decided by the direct-entry top students class.

In the performance evaluation of outstanding homeroom teachers, she was always neck and neck with Liu Shiyun, but she always fell short in the area of ​​evening party activities.

This year, her class finally came up with a good idea, and she was determined to fight for it for her students.

However, just to be prepared, Fang Chengying still asked Shen Qingqing when she handed her the test paper, "Qingqing, can you participate in that Count of Monte Cristo program?"

The next chapter is coming soon!
