Last night he hadn’t mentioned Zhou Dabao’s score, but today there was no way to hide it. Once he got home, he would get another beating.

On the verge of tears, Gu Wen rubbed his swollen, aching backside and hated studying even more than before. He hated school, hated everyone in the class, hated this whole place.

“Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to support. Thank you, everyone. More than half the semester has already passed, and the midterm exam was held a few days ago. The results are now out, which is why we’re having this parent-teacher meeting. I want to report on the children’s academic performance this semester, and parents may also offer suggestions. If there are shortcomings in my work, please do point them out!”

Teacher He announced the start of the parent-teacher meeting, opened her booklet, and said loudly, “Next, I will read out the top ten students from this midterm exam!”

Several parents immediately sat up straighter, looking pleased with themselves. 

Their children had already told them the results, and they had done very well, so naturally they felt proud.

Those parents sitting with their heads drooping, on the other hand, were obviously the mothers and fathers of the children who had done poorly, too ashamed to face anyone.

Chu Qiao heard Dabao’s name.

“Zhou Shengli, third place……” 

Dabao sat up straight, his little face stern and expressionless, but his eyes were shining brightly. 

He was trying hard to control his emotions, not letting anyone see that he was actually extremely proud. 

Uncle Gu had told him that one should remain unfazed by honor or disgrace, calm as drifting clouds.

After reading out the top ten, Teacher He cast an approving look at Dabao and said loudly, 

“The student who improved the most this semester is Zhou Shengli. At the end of last semester, Zhou Shengli was ranked forty-fifth in the class, fourth from the bottom. This semester, his grades improved by leaps and bounds, and every time he showed obvious progress over the last. This time, he achieved the excellent result of third place. Let’s all give Zhou Shengli a round of applause and cheer for him!”

Thunderous applause broke out, and the parents all looked at Dabao with approval. Everyone liked high-achieving children. 

Later on, they’d make sure their own children played with Zhou Shengli more, and maybe they could improve together.

Dabao’s back straightened even more, while his little face grew even more solemn. Pressing his lips tightly together, he kept repeating to himself:

Unmoved by honor or disgrace, calm as drifting clouds. 

Chu Qiao found it secretly funny. The child was so happy he was practically blooming, yet he was still pretending to be calm. It really was hard on him.

The other parents, however, were already busy lecturing their own children.

“Look at Zhou Shengli. He achieved such a great result, but he remains calm without any arrogance. Now look at you; after only a minor improvement, you’re now floating. Pride begets loss, but modesty gives reward. Go home, reflect on yourself, and learn from Zhou Shengli!”

In the entire classroom, only one person didn’t clap.

It was Gu Jianshe.

He simply did not believe Dabao’s score was genuine. It had only been half a semester, yet he had gone from fourth from the bottom to third from the top. 

Hah… It wasn’t as if the boy were some genius. How could that possibly happen?

“Quite a few students improved this semester, but there are also several who fell back badly. I must point out Gu Wen. Last semester he was still twenty-second in the class. This time, he is sixth from the bottom. Gu Wen’s father, you need to put more thought into disciplining your child. No matter how busy work is, you still have to make time to help with his studies.”

Teacher He scolded him without the slightest politeness. 

Hmph. Just a few days earlier, she learned from her husband that this two-faced little snake, Gu Jianshe, had approached Vice Director Jin and requested that they not be granted housing because they did not meet the qualifications. 

Fortunately, Vice Director Jin did not listen to him. Or else, their home would have been taken away.

Because that petty man had acted wrongly first, he couldn’t blame her for not being kind.

Gu Jianshe’s face shifted between green and white. He could no longer hold back his anger. 

He stood up furiously and demanded, “Teacher He, you know very well why Gu Wen’s grades dropped, don’t you? This semester, time and again, you’ve been targeting Gu Wen. And privately, you’ve even given a certain student special tutoring and opened the back door for him. Of course that student would improve! Teacher He, don’t take the parents here for fools!”
