A powerful country in scientific research

In the blink of an eye, it was Monday again. After breakfast, Su Ran went to school with her schoolbag.

When she arrived, there were already quite a few people in the classroom.

Today is not only Monday, but also the time for mock exams.

Su Ran sat down in her seat. She looked around at the people who were reading seriously, then she opened the book and started reading.

After a while, the teacher came into the classroom with the test paper.

Teacher Zhang put the test paper on the podium, looked at the students sitting below, and said with a smile: "Students, put away your books now. The exam is about to begin."

Then the students put away their books, sat down obediently, and waited for the papers to be distributed.

When Su Ran got the test paper, she immediately glanced at the general content. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that all the questions were within her ability, so getting first place should not be a problem.

The first exam is over.

Wu Hongying lay on the table with a sad face.

Su Ran gave her a funny look and said, "Hongying, how did you do in the exam?"

Wu Hongying frowned and sighed, "I don't know many of them. I feel like I've kept you and He Cheng busy for nothing last week."

Xu Kai also echoed, "I agree. Hey, I feel that the questions this time are very difficult."

He Cheng heard the conversation between the two from behind and said with a smile: "This time the difficulty is indeed much greater than before. You don't have to be so dejected. Wait until the results come out. What if you do well in the exam?"

Su Ran agreed with a smile, "I agree. Why are you so depressed after just taking one exam? There are still three more to come. Judging from the difficulty of the first one, the next three won't be easy either. You should hurry up and review. It's better to sharpen your sword before the battle, right, He Cheng."

He Cheng smiled and nodded.

When Wu Hongying and Xu Kai heard her words, their expressions became even more depressed, and they resigned themselves to looking at the key points of the next exam.

Seeing that the two of them were serious, Su Ran and He Cheng stopped talking for fear of disturbing them.

I took two more exams in the afternoon, and the first mock exam was finally over.

After finishing the exam, the four-member study group did not stay to study and went home after school.

Su Ran was walking slowly and unexpectedly met Su Jianguo downstairs. It seemed that Su Jianguo was waiting for her.

Su Ran walked up and called him dad obediently.

Su Jianguo looked his daughter up and down, and asked with a smile: "Of course, why didn't He Cheng send you back today?"

A few days ago, he met Mr. Wang and asked about He Cheng's family background. He was surprised to find out that his father worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and his uncle was the deputy mayor of their city. His daughter really made him proud by finding a partner with such good conditions. No wonder she looked down on the Liu family before.

Su Ran was surprised that her father actually knew He Cheng, so she asked her questions directly.

"Dad, how do you know He Cheng?"

Su Jianguo looked at his daughter and smiled, "I saw him the first time he sent you home. Isn't he your boyfriend? I even went to ask Mr. Wang. He Cheng's family is indeed well-off. You have good taste, girl."

Her heart skipped a beat. Su Jianguo must have misunderstood the relationship between her and He Cheng!

She quickly explained: "Dad, you misunderstood, he is just an ordinary classmate."

Su Jianguo didn't believe Su Ran's words and thought she was denying it because she was embarrassed.

He smiled and said, "Your mother and I are not feudal. Ask him when he will come home, and your mother and I will give you an eye. You are not children anymore, so settle down quickly. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to play chess. Your Uncle Li is waiting for me." After that, he ignored Su Ran's reaction and walked straight into the crowd not far away.

Su Ran sighed in his heart and went upstairs helplessly.

She had to find a chance to explain things clearly and couldn't let Su Jianguo misunderstand her like this. But there was no rush now. What if after she explained, he insisted on meeting her boyfriend? Where would she find a boyfriend?

If she wanted to break up, she was afraid that Su Jianguo would introduce her to someone else, which would be too troublesome. So let it be for now. She could only trouble He Cheng first.

But then again, He Cheng really fits the description of the "partner" that she and Su Jianguo had discussed in the past. She wondered if he was willing to help her pretend to be her boyfriend. She could ask him when she had the chance some other time.

A few days passed like this, and it was Friday again.

Today is not only the last school day of the week, but also the day when mock exam results are announced.

When Su Ran arrived at the classroom, he saw Wu Hongying and Xu Kai, both of whom had sad faces and were chatting idly.

Xu Kai lay on the table, looking hopeless.

His mother said that if he doesn't do well in the exam this time, she will cut off his pocket money. Without pocket money, he can't buy soda, and that is his happiness, and he doesn't want to lose it.

Xu Kai said lazily: "Why haven't He Cheng and Su Ran come yet?"

Wu Hongying frowned, "It should be soon, it's already this late." Ever since she took the exam, she has been worried about her results. Although her grades are average and she knows she won't be able to get into the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, since there is a chance, she wants to give it a try.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Ran sat down next to her.

When Wu Hongying saw Su Ran, she threw herself into her arms and said aggrievedly, "Ran Ran, I'm a little scared. Why hasn't Teacher Zhang come yet? Please give me a quick death."

Su Ran smiled and said, "Close your eyes and count to one hundred, Teacher Zhang will be almost there."

Wu Hongying curled her lips and said, "I'm not a child, why should I count? Ranran, you're not afraid."

Su Ran shook his head. "It's over after the exam. Don't dwell on it. Worrying about it won't change the past. If you're not satisfied with your results, then continue to study hard."

Wu Hongying was inspired by her good sister. She nodded and said, "Ranran, you are right. I want to learn from you!"

While the two were talking, Teacher Zhang came into the classroom, holding the test paper in his left hand and the transcript in his right hand.

The students below looked at him eagerly.

Teacher Zhang put down the test paper and said with a smile: "I will put the results on the podium after class. You can come and see them if you want. Now I will hand out the math test papers first. Let's try to finish the test papers in this class."

After saying that, he put the test paper in his hand on the podium, and then began to call out the names in order, and those whose names were called went to the podium to get the test paper.

Su Ran was listening below and thought that the order should be based on grades.

\"Zhao Hai."

......

"Sun Wen."

"Xu Kai."

As soon as Xu Kai got the test paper back, Su Ran and Wu Hongying looked back at it. It was 78 points, which was pretty good and much higher than expected. Xu Kai was very satisfied.

When he finished the test, he had always thought that he would fail, but he didn't expect that he would score almost 80. He hoped that other subjects would be better.

When Wu Hongying saw Xu Kai's grades, she felt more and more stressed. She clasped her hands together and prayed that the teacher would call her name later.

......

"Wu Hongying."

Wu Hongying was shocked when she heard her name, and she hurried to the podium. She took the test paper and looked at the score, 89, and she breathed a sigh of relief. This score was not bad for her, and she was quite satisfied.

She returned to her seat with the test paper and moved it towards Su Ran so that she could see it more clearly.

Su Ran looked at the score with a smile on his face and gave Wu Hongying a thumbs up.

Wu Hongying smiled shyly, feeling happy to be praised by the top student.

After learning the results of Xu Kai and Wu Hongying, Su Ran felt relieved. She quietly waited for the teacher to call her name.

She was a little curious whether the teacher would call her first or He Cheng first.

......

"He Cheng."

Su Ran raised her eyebrows, it seemed that she was slightly better.

He Cheng took his paper and looked at the score, then his eyes fell on the only paper on the podium. He looked at the 100 on it and raised his eyebrows. This time there was no winner.

He looked at Su Ran with complicated eyes.

Su Ran raised her eyebrows when she met his eyes. Then the teacher called her name, she walked to the podium, took her paper, and returned to her seat.

Teacher Zhang looked at Su Ran's figure and smiled with relief.

After handing out the papers, Teacher Zhang stood on the podium and said with a smile: "The difficulty of this paper is much greater than before, and the overall average score of the grade has dropped a lot compared to before. However, although the difficulty has increased, students with good grades can still get full marks. This time, there are four students in the grade who got full marks, and two of them are in our class, Su Ran and He Cheng. Come on, let's congratulate these two students!" As he said that, he led the applause.

The students in Class 2 also knew about He Cheng's reputation as a top student. They were all shocked by Su Ran at this moment. Su Ran had been too low-key and inconspicuous in the past six months, and no one knew that her grades were so good.

Wu Hongying was also looking at Su Ran excitedly at this moment. How could her sister be so great!

The applause gradually died down, and Teacher Zhang continued, "Not only Su Ran and He Cheng performed well, but Wu Hongying, Xu Kai, Zhang Shuo, and Wang Feifei also made a lot of progress this time, which is a good thing. Although you may not be able to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, there is no harm in learning more, and it will come in handy one day. Seeing that you are all so motivated, the teacher is very pleased."

The students below spontaneously applauded. Teacher Zhang has always been sincere and is very popular among the students.

Teacher Zhang raised his hand to stop the applause, "That's all for today, let's start discussing the test paper."
