Chapter 292: Getting into the Top 50
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Since Student Feng Qing is asking sincerely, then let me tell everyone. As everyone knows, we are a music school and belong to the literary and sports specialization. To put it bluntly, we are special students. Therefore, schools across the country take special care of special students like us. They do not really require the results of our literature subjects. According to past experience, the average score of our specialization students in literature subjects is not less than 350 points. As for you freshmen this year, there are a total of 566 people. It is not shameful for your literature subjects to be ranked in the top 460.” Shen Suying held a piece of chalk and wrote heavy numbers on the blackboard as she spoke.
The students heaved a sigh of relief. 350 points was not high. For them, they only needed to work hard for a while to get it. As for 460, it was not a difficult task.
“But! Student Feng Qing is a superstar now, so we have higher expectations for her. No matter how many marks she gets, her results in the literature subjects have to be at least in the top 150 in the cohort. This way, she won’t lose face for Capital University.” Shen Suying changed the topic and shifted the topic to Feng Qing again.
“Hiss…” The students gasped and revealed looks of disbelief. They all wondered if Shen Suying had not slept well last night and caused her mental confusion. Wasn’t it an international joke for them, students with artistic specialties, to enter the top 150 in the cohort?
If an art student could achieve such results, they would not have to take the path of a special student. They might as well compete with those who had good grades. They could completely treat professional lessons as their hobby. In the future, when they entered society, they could even find a good job. The students saw very clearly that Shen Suying was deliberately making things difficult for Feng Qing.
Shen Suying wrote the words ‘retained’ on the blackboard. Then, she looked at Feng Qing and said, “You don’t have to give yourself too much pressure. If you can’t get into the top 150 of the cohort, I will apply for you to be retained from the school and let you study for one more year than other students. This way, you will learn more firmly.”
“Oh, alright.” Feng Qing calmly replied.
This time, it was Shen Suying’s turn to be shocked. She stared at Feng Qing again and again and saw that her face was always calm. She could not tell what she was thinking at all. She actually agreed just like that?
Shen Suying was very unhappy. She thought that Feng Qing would resist and debate with her. She did not expect that Feng Qing would not take it seriously at all. It made her feel like she had punched cotton.
“It’s great that you agreed. Last night, I asked you to help me, but you made the office look like a mess. Therefore, you have to accept the punishment. How about this? If you can’t enter the top 50 in the cohort for the mid-term examination, from today onwards, the hygiene of the classroom, my office, and even the cleaning of the bathroom will all be handled by you alone until you graduate.” Shen Suying’s anger rose to her head and she became even more fierce.
As soon as these words were out, the students were collectively dumbfounded. They all looked at Shen Suying with their mouths agape. They did not know what hatred she had with Feng Qing. She was so confrontational and did not hide it at all. The students all sympathized with Feng Qing in their hearts.
“Chief Shen, I object. It’s fine if you wanted Feng Qing’s results in the literature subjects to be in the top 150 of the cohort, but for her to get into the top 50, this is obviously trying to make things difficult for her. Moreover, according to what I know, apart from the classroom, there is a dedicated cleaning auntie in the teacher’s office and bathroom responsible for everything. On what basis should Feng Qing do the cleaning work? Do you want to treat her as a slave?” Xu Mingqian could not sit still anymore and was the first to stand up to refute.
“Student Xu, I don’t have the intention to target Student Feng Qing. As your teacher, I have to distinguish between rewards and punishments. None of you were around last night, so you didn’t see what happened to the entire office building because of Student Feng Qing. Many students and teachers worked late into the night before barely cleaning up the office. Is it wrong for me to punish her for being so disrespectful to the fruits of other people’s labor?” Shen Suying bit the reason and did not let go, putting on a fair and impartial look.
Xu Mingqian was speechless. He struggled and said, “But it’s also wrong of you to change the rules.. You clearly asked her to enter the top 150 of the cohort just now, and in the blink of an eye, she needs to be in the top 50. How could she complete it?”
