Chapter 71 What is a waste of quota
"If you win the prize at the exchange meeting, not only will you get a recommended spot for University A, but the rumors and rumors on the forum will also be self-defeating..."
Before Xu An finished speaking, he was interrupted by a phone call.
He looked down at the phone, it was the principal calling.
Sliding to answer, Principal Zhang's voice rang on the other end of the phone, "Xu An, don't tell Gu Qingning in your class about the exchange meeting."
Xu An was stunned, his eyes swept across the expressionless girl, and he didn't shy away, "Why?"
"Just came to the notice, the rules of this year's exchange meeting have been temporarily changed." Principal Zhang sighed authentically.
"The number of places for this year's exchange meeting has been reduced from one to three."
"Reduction?" Xu An frowned, "What about Jingjiu Middle School?"
When this matter was mentioned, Principal Zhang became very angry, "Don't mention it, the one less place in our No. 1 Middle School was given to Jingjiu Middle School. This year, their school has five places."
To put it bluntly, the extra one was the one who robbed them.
Really to his grandma.
Xu An frowned even tighter, "What's the situation, haven't the eight places over the years been shared equally by our two schools?"
Principal Zhang explained, "The order from above said that the teaching resources of Jingjiu Middle School are better than our No. 1 Middle School. In order to avoid wasting the number of places, we divided the number of places in our No. 1 Middle School by Jingjiu Middle School."
Obviously their No. 1 Middle School and Jingjiu High School are indistinguishable. What is wasting quotas is clearly bullying.
"The worst thing is not only this, the competition items of this year's exchange meeting have also changed. Forget it, you come to the office, and I will explain to you in detail."
Hung up the phone, Xu An put away the deep thought on his face, and looked up at Gu Qingning, "Student Gu, the principal has something to do with me, we'll talk about the exchange meeting in the afternoon."
Gu Qingning nodded.
Seeing off Xu An, she took out her mobile phone, tapped into the search bar with her fingertips, and entered Jingjiu Middle School.
The next moment, information about Jingjiu Middle School popped up on the page.
One of the keywords is quite interesting.
【You and University A are only one Jingjiu away. 】
After reading the basic information of Jingjiu Middle School, Gu Qingning lost interest and exited the browsing page.
Put the phone back into her trouser pocket, and she went downstairs leisurely.
…
Principal's office.
A room full of people, the director, and senior teachers from the school are all present.
Until Xu An appeared, the silence that lasted for an unknown amount of time was broken.
"Principal, you said that the competition items have changed, what do you mean?"
"The organizer of the exchange meeting said that in order to pursue the all-round development of students' morality, intelligence and physical fitness, this year's exchange meeting competition has an additional competition."
After a pause, Principal Zhang glanced at them, and said two words depressedly, "Fencing."
Words come out.
The whole room was shocked.
Fencing?
What is the organizer of the exchange meeting thinking?
Students in the third grade of high school are already nervous enough to study, so how can they have time to learn fencing?
"I have inquired. There is a top student in Beijing-Kowloon who has learned fencing since he was a child. It is probably because of this reason that our No. 1 Middle School was taken away from a place." Principal Zhang continued.
The others looked worried.
Xu An stroked his chin, and said thoughtfully, "If fencing counts as a round, then we have to recommend Gu Qingning to participate, at least it can increase the chance of winning."
If you lose in fencing, you have to win it back in other events.
"Mr. Xu, that's not what you said. You can guarantee that Gu Qingning will win?"
Xu An turned to look at him, and smiled slightly, "Mr. Qin, Gu Qingning got full marks in the grade-skipping exam. Who can do this in the third grade?"
Teacher Qin was speechless, "I..."
Another teacher took the conversation, hesitant to speak, "But now the school forum is full of rumors and rumors about Gu Qingning, asking her to participate in the exchange meeting, I'm afraid it will..."
The latter words were not spoken, but the people present understood.
The students who can participate in the exchange meeting are all from key prestigious schools. Letting a controversial student represent No. 1 Middle School to participate in the exchange meeting may damage the reputation of No. 1 Middle School.
Xu An sneered, and said in a calm and unhurried manner, "The test papers for the grade skipping exam were issued by all the teachers present, and you are also the invigilators. Rumors stop at the wise. Teachers should understand this truth, right?"
The other teachers were speechless with a few words.
Turning his gaze to Principal Zhang, Xu An continued to analyze, "Principal, we have no chance of winning the fencing competition, we must win other competitions, otherwise if we lose all the competitions, our golden signboard will be smashed .”
Hit a snake and hit seven inches.
The golden signboard of No. 1 Middle School was the most important thing. Principal Zhang immediately made a decision, "Xu An is right. We all have seen Gu Qingning's test results. No one is more suitable for participating in the exchange meeting than her."
but.
Still some teachers disagree.
"But, principal, those controversies on the forum..."
Xu An said, "In the face of controversy, the best way to deal with it is to prove everything with strength."
"But how do you know that if Gu Qingning participates, she will definitely win." Teacher Qin asked back.
Xu An smiled, and instead of answering, asked, "Mr. Qin, do you remember that our No. 1 Middle School exchange meeting won a big victory back then, and whose credit is it?"
The director answered first, "It's Gu Zhao."
The others fell silent.
"Gu Qingning's grade-skipping exam was a bit higher than Gu Zhao's." Xu An reminded.
Mr. Qin held onto it and objected, "But that doesn't guarantee anything."
Xu An cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice, "If Gu Qingning fails to win a round at the exchange meeting, I will automatically resign and leave No. 1 Middle School, and I will never be a teacher again from now on."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Even Principal Zhang was taken aback, he didn't expect that he would gamble his teaching career for Gu Qingning.
Ignoring the astonished eyes around him, Xu An looked at Principal Zhang, "Principal, can Gu Qingning participate in this way?"
Principal Zhang thought for a moment, then nodded.
"That's it, let Gu Qingning participate in the exchange meeting."
Xu An has already made a guarantee, so it is natural for others to say nothing.
…
There is an Internet cafe across the street from the school.
Just when I wanted to go in, I was stopped by the boss.
"Little girl, you have to be eighteen years old to enter here."
Gu Qingning paused, opened her schoolbag, and took out her ID card from inside.
She asked quietly, "Can I go in now?"
The boss glanced at the ID card in her hand, with a smile on his face, "Yes, you can, but you have to pay first to get in."
"By the way, we only accept cash here."
Gu Qingning put away his ID card, touched his trouser pockets, and found that there were only a few sticks left.
She caught a glimpse of the convenience store next door and walked over.
Opposite, a limited edition Rolls Royce parked on the side of the road.
Xi Nai put one hand on the steering wheel, with a cynical smile on the corner of his mouth, "Master Cheng, what are your instructions?"
Let him park on the side of the road for no reason, maybe he wants to experience the feeling of being ticketed.
