“Yes.”
Chu Luo said to her with certainty, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Gao. This is really just a small illness. Moreover, it just so happens that Teacher Tang, who is teaching me at Imperial University, specializes in studying brain diseases.”
Mrs. Gao finally felt relieved and nodded.
Chu Luo was the one who drove.
As Chu Luo drove, she asked casually, “Mrs. Gao, have you interacted with strangers during this period of time, especially people with strange behavior? Also, have you received anything from others?”
Mrs. Gao thought for a while and shook her head. “No. You know Old Gao. At most, he’ll go out early in the morning and run on a fixed route. All I do is go to the market to buy some groceries. The people I meet are all people I know. We haven’t received anything from others either.”
Chu Luo nodded and asked, “Did Teacher Gao take off the jade pendant I gave him?”
When Mrs. Gao heard this, she turned pale with fright. “Chu Luo, that jade pendant can’t be taken off?”
“Yes.” Chu Luo guessed from Mrs. Gao’s expression that the jade pendant must have been removed. She was a little angry and deliberately said, “That was given by an expert. It can turn misfortune into blessings.”
When Mrs. Gao heard this, she looked vexed. “A few days ago, he said that a naughty student in his class broke the rope attached to his jade pendant. I took it to help him change the rope. If I had known, I would have asked him to keep the jade pendant in his pocket.”
When Chu Luo heard this, a murderous glint flashed across her eyes. She decided to see if that naughty student in Teacher Gao’s class had done it on purpose or not.
Chu Luo didn’t say anything else along the way.
When the two of them arrived at their house, Mrs. Gao handed Chu Luo the teaching materials that Old Gao was going to teach today.
As Chu Luo left, she said, “Mrs. Gao, after you’ve packed your things, go to the hospital to accompany Teacher Gao. When the helicopter comes, you two can go to the capital first.”
“Okay.”
Chu Luo took the books and walked towards Ocean City’s elite high school. On the way, she called the butler.
She planned to let Old Gao go to the Li family villa.
When Chu Luo walked to the entrance of Ocean City’s elite high school with the teaching materials, the guard standing by the door shouted excitedly at the guardhouse,
“Oh my god, isn’t this our school’s college entrance examination top scholar, Chu Luo? Quickly call the principal. Chu Luo is back!”
Chu Luo: “…”
Then, Chu Luo was welcomed in enthusiastically by a group of school’s heads who had personally come out.
Along the way, the school’s heads praised Chu Luo to the skies, saying that she had made Ocean City’s elite high school proud.
Then, everyone talked about Old Gao. Chu Luo said, “We plan to bring Teacher Gao to the capital for treatment. I’m helping him with his class this afternoon. Also, I’m applying for leave for him.”
The principal sighed. “Old Gao is usually so healthy. I didn’t expect him to suddenly have a brain tumor.”
The dean continued, “Previously, he had never had any symptoms. Could this situation get more severe?”
“No, I won’t let anything happen to him.”
If it were someone other than Chu Luo who had said this, the school’s heads would have said that she was too arrogant. However, when Chu Luo said it, they actually felt relieved.
“Since Chu Luo can be directly accepted as a student by a professor at Imperial University’s medical school right after school started, she must be very skilled. Coupled with so many professors from the medical school, I believe Old Gao’s illness will definitely be cured quickly.”
“Old Gao should take leave. Chu Luo, tell him to go treat his illness properly. Our Ocean City’s elite high school welcomes him back anytime. We’ll get someone to teach his class on his behalf.”
Old Gao used to be Chu Luo’s form teacher. When Chu Luo became successful in the future, the first person she would think of would definitely be Old Gao. Their Ocean City’s elite high school still had to rely on Chu Luo to make a name for themselves.
A few of the school’s heads brought Chu Luo to the Grade 10 Class 1.
Old Gao had been assigned to be the form teacher of the key class this year.
When they walked to the classroom, they saw that the students were quietly revising.
“Old Gao’s students are very obedient and hardworking this year. They all look up to you as a role model, but…” At this point, the age director suddenly stopped and continued with a smile, “But the students in this class are also very arrogant. They are all top students in the middle school examination. No one is convinced by anyone. ”
Chu Luo nodded. “Got it.”
After saying that, she pushed open the classroom door and walked in.
The group of Grade 10 students who were still flipping through their books were all stunned when they saw who had walked in. Surprise and excitement flashed across their eyes.
However, just as the school’s head had said, these people were very proud. Even though they were so excited that they kept screaming internally, they still maintained a calm expression.
Chu Luo walked to the podium and glanced at everyone. Under 30 pairs of bright eyes, she placed the teaching materials on the table and said, “You should have heard about Teacher Gao’s situation. He’s not in a condition to teach now. He’ll take a month or two off from work. I’ll help him teach this class today.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a boy raised his hand and stood up. “Chu Luo.”
“Call me Senior.”
“If you want us to call you ‘Senior’, you have to convince us first.” The boy was so excited that his voice was trembling, but his eyes were provocative.
“Ha, very good.” The corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up. “Since you’re in the key class, your learning progress should be faster than other classes. Under normal circumstances, you should have finished self-studying your first semester’s curriculum?”
The boy looked smug. “Yes.”
“Okay, I’ll teach the second semester curriculum now. I believe some students have already revised it. I’ll just mention a few omnipotent knowledge points. Whether you can absorb them or not depends on your own ability.”
After saying that, Chu Luo didn’t give them a chance to speak again.
Initially, everyone thought that since no one had the textbook, they definitely wouldn’t understand what Chu Luo was saying. However, when Chu Luo started speaking, everyone’s spirits were lifted. At the same time, they took out their laptops and quickly took notes.
The more they took notes, the more excited they became.
The principal, who was standing outside the classroom and watching the situation inside, smiled like a Buddha. “To think these kids had clamored in front of Chu Luo. They don’t know that Chu Luo is arrogant because she has the ability… They’re indeed too young.”
The dean’s stern face also carried a smile. “It’s good if someone comes to tame their temper. They can be arrogant, but if they’re too arrogant, it’s easy to become Shang Zhongyong[1].”
The head of the cohort said, “Chu Luo speaks really well. She’s so organized and enlightens the kids. These children are lucky to have attended her class today.”
The principal asked, “Which class is Old Gao’s next class?”
The head of the cohort: “Class 3, he’s helping to teach Teacher Zhu’s class.”
The principal thought for a while and made a decision. “Inform the entire first year cohort that the next two classes will be held in the auditorium. Bring them together and let Chu Luo teach them.”
“Erm… the students aren’t learning at the same pace. The effects won’t be good like this.”
“We have to believe in Chu Luo.”
Therefore, when the class ended and Chu Luo refused to answer any questions and walked out of the classroom, the dean stopped her and said amiably, “Chu Luo, the venue for your class will be changed to the auditorium. All the juniors in the first year will attend. Is that okay?”
Chu Luo stared at the dean with her big eyes and pursed her lips slightly without answering.
The dean suddenly felt a little guilty. “Erm, Chu Luo, I know that it’s wrong of us to make this decision without discussing with you, but teaching a class and teaching the entire cohort isn’t that much different to you. I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to suppress all the juniors.”
Chu Luo lowered her eyes and thought for a while before saying, “I can teach the juniors in the entire cohort, but you have to help me with something.”
“What is it? Tell me, I promise to help.”
“We can talk as we walk.”
“Okay.”
…
When the entire cohort heard that Chu Luo would be teaching them the next two classes in the auditorium, they exploded.
Everyone cheered and ran towards the auditorium, afraid that they wouldn’t be able to get the best seats if they were late.
The people from Class 1 were a little displeased.
“Why are we made to attend class with the students from the ordinary classes? If Chu Luo teaches too simply, won’t it be a waste of our time?”
“If it’s too difficult and those from the ordinary class don’t understand, the entire auditorium will be noisy and will divert our attention.”
“Cough, cough. Stop talking. The dean is by the door.”
When everyone saw the dean standing by the door with a stern expression, they retracted their dissatisfaction.
The dean walked in and looked at everyone in Class 1. He said sternly, “Looks like you all understand what Chu Luo said just now. You look down on the ordinary classes now, but don’t forget that Chu Luo was also from an ordinary class.”
“Chu Luo was a special case. It’s impossible for there to be someone like Chu Luo every year.”
As Chu Luo’s immediate juniors, they had an indescribable sense of superiority and pride. The dean knew that.
He said, “You can be arrogant and proud, but you have to have Chu Luo’s ability. If not, restrain yourself. Otherwise, when you’re defeated, no one will help you out.”
After saying that, he pointed at a thin and tall boy. “Chen Zitong, I have something to tell you. You can stay behind first. The others can go to the auditorium.”
