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

Chapter 178 Do you want to help me?
Also assigned to examination room 001 was Wu Fangyi, who ranked second overall.

Then came the top student from the neighboring honors class, followed by the Chinese language representative from Shen Qingqing's class.

In short, all 35 people in this exam room were from the two direct-entry classes. Even if you couldn't match their names, they were all quite familiar faces.

In her previous life, Shen Qingqing's grades started to fall behind in junior high school. It wasn't that she was less intelligent than others, but that she focused all her attention on writing novels, played on her phone during class, and couldn't help but fall asleep.

One wrong step leads to another. Starting with missing a math class, all science subjects began to feel like torture.

Therefore, in this life, Shen Qingqing not only dared not repeat the same mistakes, but even used the teacher website she had used once in elementary school and persisted in learning from the teachers of various subjects who uploaded teaching videos on it.

By previewing lessons, paying attention in class, and reviewing afterward, Shen Qingqing refused to believe that she could be a poor student in this lifetime, given how hard she had already worked.
And the results of the first two exams did indeed prove that her efforts were not in vain.

Although it's said that the city-wide unified exam in Chaocheng is easy, since the whole city takes the same test, even if it's easy, the final scores won't be significantly different. The answering strategy and speed are also important factors to consider.

The exam papers were distributed, and the proctors were two teachers I had seen in the office before, but I didn't recognize them.

If this were in her previous life, Shen Qingqing would probably have taken a closer look and studied it more carefully.

This time, however, Shen Qingqing was not distracted. After glancing at it, she focused all her attention on the test paper in front of her.

The first subject on the first day was Chinese. This subject was not a difficult one for Shen Qingqing, whether in her previous life or in this life. Multiple choice questions, dictation questions... Shen Qingqing wrote down the questions one by one without any hindrance.

The techniques for answering Chinese language questions were already ingrained in my bones back in my senior year of high school in my previous life.

Appreciation of classical Chinese poetry, punctuation and translation of classical Chinese texts, reading comprehension and analysis of modern Chinese texts, essay writing...

The students in exam room 01 were all at roughly the same speed when answering questions. With 15 minutes left in the two-hour exam, the last student handed in his paper and left.

They were in a hurry to review for their next math exam.

The exam room was filled with students from two different classes. Before the exam, the backpacks left in the corridor outside the classroom were divided into two distinct piles: one for students admitted to the top-performing class and the other for students directly admitted to the top-performing class.

Because Shen Qingqing sat in the first row, first column, and first seat, which was closest to the front door, she naturally got a seat near the front door for the top students in the entrance exam.

There was a 20-minute break between the exams, plus the time they had left after submitting their papers early, which made a total of 35 minutes.

After Shen Qingqing and Wu Fangyi went to the restroom together and came back, they had plenty of time to review.

Since it's a review, you should roughly skim through the questions you already know, look at the solutions, and ask someone who is better than you for help with the questions you don't know.

Shen Qingqing and Wu Fangyi were seatmates, and before long, a group of people surrounded their seats.

Unable to squeeze into Shen Qingqing and Wu Fangyi's group, he went to the fourth seat, where the Chinese language representative was sitting.

The three of them effectively isolated the top student from the neighboring class, who was ranked third in the middle, making the room quite deserted. After all, most of the students in the direct-entry honors class came from relatively wealthy families, and hiring tutors was commonplace for them. Everyone firmly believed that they could learn anything they wanted to learn, and even if they didn't know something, they wouldn't be willing to swallow their pride and admit that they didn't know it like Shen Qingqing and the others did.

The time for the second exam was fast approaching. When they heard the sound of a teacher's high heels coming from outside the classroom, the people who had been discussing the questions with Shen Qingqing and the others immediately dispersed and quickly returned to their seats.

Then repeat the process from before the last exam: pack your things, put your bag outside in the hallway, and come back in to prepare for the exam.

The world of mathematics is more straightforward and angular, unlike the language arts which requires more subtlety and tact.

To put it simply, you either know it or you don't.

However, for the students in exam room 01, the question was not whether they knew how to do it, but whether they had enough time to come up with a complete solution.

The Experimental Primary School also needs to take an additional test to directly enter the Experimental Middle School. The test also includes questions beyond the curriculum. To be honest, the difficulty of the entrance exam for the direct entry class is the same as the difficulty of their additional test.

None of the students in these two elite classes are capable.

The students in the two classes in exam room 01 are among those who, after a semester of study, can still maintain their top rankings.

The math exam also ended smoothly, and the teachers collected the test papers one by one and left the classroom.

Shen Qingqing stretched and slumped in her chair for a while, and Wu Fangyi brought her schoolbag in from the hallway outside.

After saying "thank you," Shen Qingqing packed her things and asked Wu Fangyi, "Sister Fangyi, the holidays are coming up. Will you still be tutoring at the school after you go home?"

Wu Fangyi shook her head: "I'm not doing it anymore. The round trip takes too long. I've rescheduled for next semester."

"Besides, I don't want to just tutor all the time. I think other part-time jobs are quite interesting. Winter break is so long. If I work during the Spring Festival, I might be able to get more overtime pay." Wu Fangyi casually mentioned her plan for the entire winter break—to work.

Shen Qingqing looked at Wu Fangyi with a complicated expression, but she had experienced a period when she had no money and could only ask others for money. She knew how painful that situation was, so she couldn't just give Wu Fangyi a high-sounding advice not to work so hard. "Then where are you having your New Year's Eve dinner this year?"

Wu Fangyi thought for a moment, "I don't know, maybe she works in a supermarket, or maybe she works in a 24-hour store."

Chinese New Year is a very important festival for Chinese people, but the fact that Wu Fangyi was still working on such a day clearly shows that both families are very worried about her situation.

"How about coming to my house for dinner? You haven't come over to play since we moved to our new house. Plus, we eat our New Year's Eve dinner early, so it won't interfere with your work tonight. If you don't have work tonight, you can stay up all night playing games with my four kids. We bought some board games, but I always lose because my younger siblings team up with me, and they always punish me. If you come over, I'll have teammates, and I'm sure I can win back my losses. How about it? Want to give me a hand?"

Shen Qingqing winked and made faces as she finished speaking.

Waaaaaah, it's so laggy, so laggy, so laggy...

See you tomorrow night~
