Without the weight, Jiang Shi accelerated all the way and returned home before dinner.

Facing Jiang's mother's questioning eyes, Jiang Shi's eyes turned and she said in a tender voice: "Mom, I was left here to clean up today, so I came back a little late."

Although Jiang's mother was still a little skeptical, she still let her daughter go to the table to eat.

Seeing this, Jiang Shi sat down and raised her head proudly and said: "Mom and Dad, I have good news to tell you."

"What good news?" Ji Ruisong put down his chopsticks and asked, cooperating with Jiang Shi's movements.

He gradually got used to Jiang Shi calling him dad.

Ji Han took advantage of his father's inattention and quickly picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his bowl.

"In the first monthly exam, your daughter, I, ranked first in the whole grade in Chinese!"

Jiang Shi looked up, and her nose was almost up to the sky.

"Great." Ji Ruisong applauded and smiled.

"How many points in English?" Jiang's mother on the side suddenly said.

She knew her daughter's academic bias very well. She was pretty good at Chinese and barely passable at math.

Her foreign language performance was a mess, and it was unbearable to look at.

Jiang Shi was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He immediately wilted, but still puffed his lips and said, "Not bad, 96 points."

"Isn't it not bad?" Ji Ruisong was a little puzzled.

"The full score of their test paper is 150." Ji Han interrupted, and was immediately met with a cold face from Jiang Shi.

"Change it to a total score of 100, only 64 points, almost failed!" Jiang's mother lifted Jiang Shi's ear.

"Hiss, it hurts!"

Jiang Shi cast a look of help at Ji Ruisong.

Ji Ruisong coughed and said, "This is just the beginning of high school. I believe Jiang Jiang will definitely learn English well in the future."

"Okay, hurry up and eat. You still have to do homework later."

Jiang's mother let Jiang Shi go and continued to eat.

In the evening, Jiang Shi received good news.

Her new novel has passed the review and she will get the royalties soon.

Then Qinglan set the meeting time for this Saturday. The editor flew directly from Beijing to Haizhou to meet Jiang Shi.

Talk about the follow-up cooperation and signing.

This is the first time that Jiang Shi is so close to her dream in her previous life.

After signing, she can be regarded as half a step into the ranks of professional writers.

At least she can support herself through writing.

The next day.

Jiang Shi understood a sentence, what is coming will come sooner or later.

As soon as the morning reading class started, Zhuang Da walked into the classroom.

"Jiang Shi, come out with me."

?

Jiang Shi, who was reciting English words, raised his head, and his eyes were instantly filled with clear stupidity.

Who called me, what happened?

It was only after Huang Qiqi reminded him that he found Lao Zhuang standing at the back of the classroom.

Following Lao Zhuang's pace, Jiang Shi recalled in his mind that he should not have caused any trouble recently.

Suddenly, he remembered that after each exam, Lao Zhuang would indeed pull some people to the office for a "private chat".

Most of them were the type with average grades and who could still have hope if they tried hard.

After a while, the two of them walked to the office.

Zhuang Da pointed to the plastic chair next to him and said, "Sit down."

Jiang Shi waved his hand and said reflexively, "How can this be so embarrassing? Please go first!"

The two of them stared at each other, and the air froze for a second.

Oops, being a worker for too long triggered an automatic reply to the leader.

Zhuang Da sat down and touched the teacup on the table.

Jiang Shi also sat down quickly and put on a sitting posture that he thought was very well-behaved.

Zhuang Da got straight to the point: "Well, I'm here to talk to you about two things."

"First, it's about study. You did so well in Chinese. As your teacher, I'm very happy, but as your class teacher, I value your overall performance more."

Jiang Shi breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a matter of grades, so it wasn't a big problem.

Then Zhuang Da took out a form from the drawer.

He swiped his finger from top to bottom and found Jiang Shi's name.

This was the ranking of the entire grade. Jiang Shi saw an 88 in front of his name.

If you take it seriously, you are still quite talented.

"It looks very high, right?" Zhuang Da noticed the girl's smug expression and couldn't help but start to pour cold water on her.

"But you see, in this exam, the average scores of Chinese and English are relatively low, and your math performance is normal."

"If the average scores of Chinese and English go up a little next time, you will immediately fall outside the top 100."

He continued to analyze earnestly: "It is very dangerous to rely on only one course to increase your score, and you can't fall behind in English learning."

Jiang Shi nodded sincerely: "Yes, I understand, teacher."

With the blessing of the system buff, she dared not sayIt's a rapid progress, and the English score can be raised above the passing line.

Zhuang Da looked at the girl. He knew that she might not be able to listen to what he said, but he still wanted to try his best to polish this rough jade.

"It's just the beginning of the first year of high school. I don't want to put too much pressure on you, but three years is not long, not short, it's over in the blink of an eye..."

It seems that he also realized that if he expanded on it, the time for the morning reading class would not be enough.

Zhuang Da took a sip of tea and said the second thing.

"There is another thing, it's about the city's essay competition. I hope you can participate."

Essay competition?

Although this was also expected by Jiang Shi, he didn't expect it to come so soon.

There will be an essay competition every year, and you can participate three times in the three years of high school, from the city level to the provincial level, and then to the national competition. The scale is not small.

Jiang Shi also participated once in his previous life, but he was eliminated at the city level.

If you can enter the national competition, it is also an honor, and it will be useful when applying for special recruitment in some universities.

"Only two people were selected to participate in the first year of high school. Participation is important."

Zhuang Da did not give Jiang Shi a chance to refuse. After putting the registration form into Jiang Shi's hand, he asked her to go back to class.

Back in the classroom, the morning reading class had just ended.

Many students were eating breakfast and chatting with each other.

Seeing Jiang Shi come in, someone shouted, "Jiang Zhuangshi is back!"

Jiang Shi's forehead was filled with a well.

However, as the first person to be interviewed by the head teacher, everyone was curious about what Lao Zhuang had talked to her about.

"Jiang Jiang, Jiang Jiang, what did the head teacher ask you to do? Is it about sleeping during the exam?" Huang Qiqi came up first.

"Shh, keep your voice down!" Jiang Shi covered the little girl's mouth. Family disgrace should not be made public, let alone her own.

"Woo woo, the mud rice is opening the nest." Huang Qiqi struggled to escape the clutches.

"Here, take a look for yourself." Jiang Shi spread the registration form on the table so that several people could see it clearly.

"Essay competition?" Bai Jingran was a little surprised after reading it all.

But thinking of Jiang Shi's essay with a score of 52, things became reasonable again.

"Jiang Jiang, this competition is going to No. 1 Middle School."

Bai Jingran pointed to the detailed instructions on the registration form.

"Huh!?" Jiang Shi took a closer look and found that the venue of the competition was indeed No. 1 Middle School.

The competition time was October 11, Friday afternoon.

"Is No. 1 Middle School far from here?" Jiang Shi calculated the time. If he got home too late, Ms. Wu would nag him.

"It's quite far, but the school should send you there."

Bai Jingran recalled that her home was in the city center, very close to No. 1 Middle School.

Jiang Shi thought about it and it was true that there would be more people participating in the second and third years of high school.

There must be about ten people scattered around, and it is estimated that the school will pack them up and take them away.

At this time, the subway in Jiangcheng had not started construction. If you want to go to the city center, you either have to drive yourself or take a one-hour bus. In short, it is more troublesome.
