Chapter 17 Another Wager (1)_1
The homeroom teachers of several senior classes looked at Shangguan You with amused expressions. They certainly wouldn’t dare to take in a student with such poor grades. Wouldn’t that tarnish their own reputations?
"That’s right, Shangguan You. Skipping a grade and directly taking the college entrance exam—do you think you can handle it?" The speaker was none other than Mr. Li Ming, the literature teacher of Senior Class Three, and the one who had defended Shangguan You before.
"This student, your family sent you to study here hoping you’d get into a good university and distinguish yourself in the future. If you skip grades now, won’t you disappoint them? Besides, with your current academic record, do you really think you can just scrape by with the minimum score? Our school can’t afford such a disgrace."
"Exactly. Even the weakest student in our class can get into Beijing University, and countless others go abroad to study. I wouldn’t dare take a student like you."
"Correct. As a student, it’s best to take things step by step. Don’t look down on the lowly and fawn over the powerful."
Shangguan You paid no mind to the teachers’ sarcasm. Her cold voice rang out again.
"Mr. Chen, if I can achieve first place in the entire school in this exam, can I then move directly to the third year and take the college entrance exam?"
"First place in the entire school? You must be joking. You’re always at the bottom of the school rankings; dreaming of first place is ludicrous."
"Is this the funniest joke I’ve ever heard?"
