However, after Rong Si went to the coastal city in the south, his life did not go as smoothly as he and Su Jiu had thought.
In the first semester of high school, he scored full marks, blinding all the teachers and students with his brightness. He naturally became number one in the school.
On the second day after the results were announced, a few students in the class questioned if he had cheated. How could someone get full marks? They did not believe it!
It was because those students were all rich and powerful. They were all famous young masters in the school. One of them had been in first place for a long time. Now that this boy had fallen to second place, he felt indignant.
The teachers were also at a loss. Even if they believed that Rong Si had cheated, Rong Si was still a genius. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have entered high school at the age of twelve.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t ignore this matter. In the end, it was suggested that Rong Si take the exam again in front of his classmates.
Rong Si glanced at the proud boys who were waiting to see him put on a good show. He agreed to this request and completed a fresh exam paper under the supervision of his classmates and teachers.
When the results were out, the students’ jaws dropped.
Full marks, full marks again!
The teachers could not believe it either. In order to give face to the young masters, they had deliberately given Rong Si a difficult paper. They had not expected him to succeed.
And yet, Rong Si answered it so perfectly.
This child is a genius!
The few young masters were ruthlessly slapped by reality, and all of their faces were ashen. Especially the boy who was now second place in the grade. No matter what, he refused to accept that he had been beaten by a brat who was so much younger than him. From then on, that boy bore a grudge against Rong Si and constantly made his life difficult.
For example, he would put scary photos in Rong Si’s locker, throw balls at him in gym class, threaten him with violence, and even secretly demand the principal to expel him. The principal was in a dilemma.
Expel? Isn’t that too much?
Rong Si was one of the most promising students. How could he be expelled? The school would suffer a huge loss if he left!
But if the principal didn’t deal with it, these young masters wouldn’t let it go. Their parents were basically the school’s shareholders, what could he do?
After thinking about it, he could only find Rong Si to talk to him in the office. He earnestly told Rong Si to not flaunt his genius, or others would easily target him. He even hinted that Rong Si should deliberately score lower in his exams.
Rong Si just had to do his best during the college entrance examination.
Rong Si laughed coldly. His laughter was sinister and mocking, making the principal’s hair stand on its ends.
What’s going on? This is a twelve-year-old child. Why is his laugh so frightening? It made a chill run down the principal’s spine.
Rong Si didn’t say anything else. He only answered coldly, “Okay, I agree.”
It was normal for people to be jealous of him if he performed too well. However, he had not expected the school to protect those bullies instead. There was no punishment for those who were in the wrong. He was the victim, and yet he had been asked to behave and retreat with his tail between his legs.
What a joke!
Little Jiu had once told him that if he was bullied in school, he had to tell the teacher and not suffer in silence. Unfortunately, this advice had been useless the few times he had tried.
Rich and powerful people lived a good life indeed.
If this school hadn’t offered to send him to one of the top universities, he wouldn’t have stayed here.
Seeing that Rong Si had agreed, the principal heaved a sigh of relief. In return, he promised that he would waive all his tuition and miscellaneous fees.. In short, Rong Si would be able to finish high school without any financial pressure.
