In Class A, Vanessa Ji poked Jeffrey, who was sound asleep.
Jeffrey Fu jerked his head back and stared at her coldly. Vanessa Ji was shocked. "Je... Jeffrey, what place do you think you are in this exam?"
"In the top five," he said casually, but he was confident that he could come in first.
But in the eyes of other students, what he said was ridiculous. It was more like the fifth starting from the bottom.
Celeste Xu came back from the bulletin board and said to Jeffrey in confusion, "Jeffrey, why is your name not on the bulletin board?"
Jeffrey Fu instantly understood and just smiled without saying anything.
Celeste was confused. Why doesn't he care about his grades at all?
The class teacher, Miss Deng, came in and looked at Jeffrey Fu. "Jeffrey, come to my office."
Jeffrey Fu stood up and walked out of the classroom. There was a discussion behind him.
"Did he get a zero for handing in a blank paper? That's probably why his name wasn't on the board."
"I think so too. The teacher even asked him to her office. I bet your guess is not too far off."
"He even said that he could get in the top five, there's not even a place for him in the bottom fifth!"
The corners of Quintin Fu's mouth curled into a cold smile. He thought to himself, "Let's wait and see."
At the office, Miss Deng sat down and said meaningfully, "Jeffrey, what do you think your results will be for this exam?"
"More than 400 points." He straightened his body, slightly raised his chin, and his crystal-clear eyes sparkled with confidence.
But Miss Deng was still a little skeptical. "Jeffrey, are you sure this result is true? If so, I will announce your result in class." She meant to ask Jeffrey if he had cheated in the exams.
Jeffrey smiled and said, "Teacher, of course I am sure."
Miss Deng was stunned. She didn't expect him to be so confident and even have a different style.
"Well then, I'll announce them. You will be responsible for your actions by then."
Jeffrey returned to his class, and the students kept their eyes on him until he got to his seat.
Celeste came over and asked, "Jeffrey, what happened? Why did the teacher look for you?"
Behind her, Vanessa Ji also looked at Jeffrey with a worried face, quietly waiting for the answer.
The corner of Jeffrey's mouth curved slightly and he kept her in suspense. "You will know in a while."
The teacher took the transcript and walked to the podium.
"The results were released on the bulletin board. I'm sure all of you have taken a look at it, and the first place was blank..."
After that, she gulped and glanced at Jeffrey Fu. Seeing that he had no reaction, she picked up the transcript and read, "Next, let's announce the first place, Jeffrey Fu's results. He got a total of 440 points in three subjects: Mandarin 144, English 150, and Mathematics 146."
As soon as these words came out, the class blew up.
The village boy from the countryside actually got first place in her grade? With such difficult papers?!
Vanessa Ji found it hard to believe that her Jeffrey was excellent in his academics
The class teacher continued, "Jeffrey, please come on stage and take your transcript."
With a bang, Quintin slapped the table and shouted, "Impossible."
Then, he stood up and said loudly, "Teacher, I have a question about this result! How could he get such a high score?"
Quintin Fu opened his mouth, and the other students also agreed.
"That's right. It's so difficult. It's good enough for him to pass the exam."
"He must have cheated, didn't he?"
"Get out of Class A! Get out of St. Yu Academy!"
The more the students talked, the more emotional they became. They also looked at Jeffrey with contempt and disgust.
Celeste's face was full of worry. She asked in a low voice, "Jeffrey, what's going on?"
