Even the tycoons of wealthy families kneel down; the real heiress is the matriarch.

Using the first year of high school math as an example, Bai Su picked out several important formulas and asked Cheng Yizhou to memorize them first.

Then I gave him a comprehensive question, asking him to apply several formulas.

This comprehensive problem isn't particularly difficult, but it's quite convoluted. If you can't fully utilize the formulas, it's hard to arrive at the final answer.

Cheng Yizhou solved the problem with almost no effort.

Bai Su looked at him and said, "Were you quite diligent in your studies when you were in your first year of high school?"

Cheng Yizhou said, "I stopped studying in the second year of junior high school."

Well, she had to admit that Cheng Yizhou did have some talent.

Just as I was about to continue explaining the formulas for the second year of high school, the morning reading session ended.

For once, Cheng Yizhou felt a sense of lingering satisfaction.

He ignored even when the monkey called him to go to the convenience store to buy bread, and urged Bai Su, "Give me a few more questions to answer."

Bai Su said, "It's no longer necessary. The math in the first year of high school isn't difficult to begin with, and you're smart enough. You just need to remember the formulas and how they are used and how they change. You've already mastered this part of the knowledge."

Cheng Yizhou felt a little smug after hearing the comment, "You're smart."

Although he didn't like reading and often slept in class or skipped class.

He's been like this since junior high school; he's a "good-for-nothing student."

But what he didn't tell Bai Su was that he actually attended classes as well.

They only listen to the new lessons.

He doesn't actually sleep much in new classes, and he certainly doesn't skip classes.

Even if I skip class, I'll only skip the second half.

So, he has some basic knowledge, he just isn't diligent.

After understanding the key points, he almost never does practice problems, thus reinforcing his knowledge.

He still wanted to show off his intelligence in front of Bai Su.

He wanted to tell her that he was just as smart as she was, and that he wasn't stupid.

Just as she was feeling happy, Bai Su said, "But there's something I need to tell you."

Seeing Bai Su's face suddenly turn serious, Cheng Yizhou suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What are you trying to say?"

"I might have to switch to another class."

Cheng Yizhou looked at her, all the joy and smugness he had just felt vanished.

"Why?" he asked.

"My homeroom teacher doesn't like me, and I don't like him either. Plus... he promised to come back to class sooner or later. We see each other every day, so it's hard to guarantee that no conflicts won't arise. But I don't want to waste my time and energy on these things, so I brought it up with the principal. Maybe tomorrow, maybe today, I'll leave."

After Bai Su finished speaking, she thought that given Cheng Yizhou's temper, he might get angry or walk away with a cold face.

But no.

He simply asked calmly, "Which class?"

"If there are no problems, it should be Class Two."

"oh."

Cheng Yizhou stood up expressionlessly and called Monkey to go to the convenience store.

The first period was English class, and he didn't come back for the entire class.

Bai Su felt that Cheng Yizhou was probably angry.

But she ignored it.

The countdown to the college entrance examination is the countdown to a new chapter in her life. She must seize every second to catch up and surpass others, even though she is three years behind.

Cheng Yizhou initially showed her kindness, so she was willing to help him and even made time to explain problems to him.

But that doesn’t mean she can’t accept Cheng Yizhou’s estrangement.

That's life; all good things must come to an end.

It's good to know someone as sincere as Cheng Yizhou, and it's also good to say goodbye and leave him.

She won't feel too much regret.

The second period was math class.

When Bai Su returned from the restroom, Chen Qiang had already arrived at the classroom.

To Bai Su's surprise, Chen Qiang actually smiled when he saw her.

"Bai Su, come out with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Bai Su stared at Chen Qiang, feeling that his smile was like a mask. Because it was a mask, even the biggest smile was stiff and strange.

But she still nodded: "Okay, teacher."

The two walked out of the classroom one after the other.

Chen Qiang leaned against the railing, facing her directly.

"Bai Su, do you have some kind of problem with the teacher?"

"Teacher Chen, you've misunderstood. I have no problem with you personally."

"Then why...did you suddenly decide to switch shifts?"

Bai Su then gave a half-truthful explanation for her shift change.

"After I argued with Xu Nuo that time, my parents scolded me severely. I was resentful, but I didn't want to cause any more trouble."

"So after thinking it over, I think it's better to just switch classes. After all, I have a bad temper, and if I keep seeing Xu Nuo every day, it's inevitable that we'll have another fight..."

This explains the reason.

She continued, "And as you should know, after you called my mother last time, she misunderstood me and now she doesn't care about me anymore, so I can make my own decisions."

The implication is that even if Chen Qiang calls Dong Suying, he cannot change the fact that she is going to change shifts.

She added, "Teacher Chen probably doesn't like a troublemaker like me either, right? My departure will be good for you; it will save you a lot of trouble."

Chen Qiang, however, grew anxious and waved his hands repeatedly: "Bai Su, you've really misunderstood me. I've never thought of you as a troublemaker, and I like you very much. You might not know this, but from the beginning, I felt that you were a very promising student, and you study diligently. It's just that I have a slight flaw: the students I care about are the stricter I am with them, which is why you've misunderstood me..."

Bai Su looked at Chen Qiang in surprise.

Could it be that she had misunderstood before, and that Chen Qiang didn't dislike her as a student?

Otherwise, if she wanted to leave, he should have set off firecrackers to celebrate, instead of being so eager to stop her.

But... Bai Su felt that something was not right.

Bai Su frowned slightly, as if she was thinking.

Chen Qiang thought she was wavering, so he quickly continued, "Bai Su, I called your mother that day. I know you won't forgive Xu Nuo, so I had to use a different method. Don't blame me. They're both students; they're all my children. I can't just watch our class monitor go to juvenile detention, can I?"

They even explained the phone call from that day in detail.

Bai Su felt increasingly uneasy.

"Bai Su, please reconsider, okay? I don't want to lose such an excellent student like you... Principal Zhang told me that you are very talented and might be able to get into a top university."

Bai Su's eyelid suddenly twitched.

She seems to have... figured out Chen Qiang's logic and motivation.

However, it still needs to be verified.

"Bai Su, the teacher in Class Two really doesn't know how to teach students at all. So, despite being a top student with excellent qualifications, she was assigned to teach at No. 3 Middle School. I hope I can mentor you properly and don't want you to be wasted in her hands. Think it over carefully and give me your answer at noon, okay?"

Chen Qiang's attitude was extremely sincere.

Bai Su agreed.

"I'll think about it more carefully this morning."

"That's great, the teacher really hopes you can stay."

After he finished speaking, the school bell rang.

Bai Su said, "I'm going back to the classroom now."

"well."

Chen Qiang nodded repeatedly.

Just as she was about to enter the classroom, Bai Su asked, "Teacher Chen, may I ask for your phone number? No matter if I change classes or not, I will come back to visit you after graduation."

"Of course, my phone number is..."

After Chen Qiang gave her the number, Bai Su nodded to indicate that she remembered it before entering the classroom.

Chen Qiang let out a heavy sigh.

That brat actually tried to run away.

He must keep her!

If she escapes from his sight, he won't be able to explain it to the Emperor.

He was still hoping to get a teaching position at the Imperial Academy through Bai Su's connections.

Chen Qiang composed himself before stepping into the classroom.

Looking up, Cheng Yizhou, that real troublemaker, was nowhere to be seen.

It's obvious he skipped class.

Chen Qiang pretended not to know anything and continued explaining the problem.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Qiang took special care of Bai Su during class today. Not only did he repeatedly choose Bai Su to answer questions when many people raised their hands, but he also took the initiative to ask her after class if there were any questions she did not understand.

Bai Su replied, "I understood everything."

"Good that you understood. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to come to my office and ask me anytime."

"Thank you, teacher."

"You're welcome. Study hard." Chen Qiang left with a friendly smile.

Her actions prompted two students in the front row to ask her, "Bai Su, did your parents also give Old Chen a gift?"

As everyone knows, Teacher Chen only shows such favoritism to students who have given him gifts.

As a result, most of the students' parents in the class had given Chen Qiang gifts.

Bai Su understood what he meant and shook her head: "No."

"That seems to be because of that promise. He feels he misunderstood you, so he's been taking extra care of you."

"That's definitely the case. Bai Su, let me tell you, Teacher Chen is a bit of a money-grubber. You need to talk to your parents and find some time to invite him to dinner and give him a gift. That's what we all do."

Bai Su thanked the two students in front of her for their kindness and got up to go to the restroom.

When I left, I also took my phone with me.

When Bai Su returned to the classroom, her face turned very pale.

Of course, this is from her own perspective.

She rarely makes exaggerated expressions, so even when she's in a bad mood, she looks calm and no different from usual.

Back in her seat, Bai Su calmly finished the third class.

After the third period ended, she immediately went to Principal Zhang's office.

Principal Zhang is discussing the math Olympiad competition with the academic affairs director.

"Last year they gave us three spots, why are we only getting one today?" Zhang Shu's face was grim.

The academic affairs director hesitated before speaking: "Isn't it because last year, none of our three students even made it into the top 100?"

They were all at the bottom of the class.

Therefore, the competition organizers believe that giving them any number of spots would be a waste.

But this is not actually Zhang Shu's responsibility.

The reputation of No. 3 Middle School has been poor for a long time, so much so that students with slightly better grades would avoid No. 3 Middle School and go to other schools.

And the teachers, given a choice, would not choose to teach at No. 3 Middle School.

In this way, the Third Middle School has no good students or good teachers at all, so how can it cultivate outstanding students?

Therefore, this leads to a vicious cycle.

So no matter how hard Zhang Shu, the principal who has only been here for less than five years, tries, it's all in vain.

Fundamentally, No. 3 Middle School has no possibility of cultivating good students.
