Chapter 52: Chapter 52: A Big Slap in the Face (Seeking Comments and Votes)

When Xiao Jinli left the Principal’s Office with 500 yuan in his pocket, he didn’t go far before running into Teacher Xiao Hongmei.

Upon seeing Xiao Jinli, Xiao Hongmei’s face darkened instantly, and she secretly fumed with resentment.

Ever since she had reported Xiao Jinli to the Principal’s Office, she had received a severe warning from the school and had been demoted from a regular teacher to a temporary one. This outcome was already the best her uncle, the Teaching Director, had managed to get for her.

If she could realize her mistake and correct her thoughts, focusing on teaching her students well, there would still be a chance to become a permanent teacher in the future.

Xiao Hongmei had not expected that a seemingly ordinary elementary school student could cause her to fall into such a big pit.

Even more unexpectedly, the student she once looked down on turned out to be a genius hiding their true abilities.

Now, Xiao Jinli’s winning of the county’s special prize in the Math Olympiad had greatly slapped her in the face.

As Xiao Jinli brought honor to the school, the entire school erupted with joy and congratulations, except for Xiao Hongmei, who was very unhappy.

The more Xiao Jinli succeeded, the more it showed that she lacked vision.

Back then, after Xiao Jinli’s grades came out, quite a few teachers openly ridiculed her.

“Teacher Xiao, didn’t you know Xiao Jinli is so good at math? After all, you were her headteacher for such a long time.”

“Teacher Xiao, Xiao Jinli has won such a big prize. If you were still her headteacher, imagine how prestigious it would be for you. Alas, what a pity…

“Haha, don’t feel too sorry. I heard that Xiao Jinli decided to participate in the competition because Teacher Xiao scolded him for being a bad student and leading his classmates astray, demanding that the school expel him. Well, now he’s come back with a big slap in her face.”

“Honestly, I’ve heard rumors among the school’s top brass that Xiao Jinli is a ‘score control genius.’ Do you know what that means? The top students in our school are just ordinary geniuses, but a ‘score control genius,’ that’s a genius among geniuses.”

“Ah, Xiao Jinli is truly remarkable. We thought he was just an average student who slept in class and had mediocre grades. Who would have thought he was the real genius? I must say, the real pity is on Teacher Xiao.”

“That’s right, Mingming this genius belonged to Teacher Xiao, but now that he has gained such great honor, Teacher Xiao gets none of the credit. Instead, Teacher Yang enjoys the limelight. I’ve seen her smiling at everyone and even walking with a breeze.”

“Hehe, if I had a student like that too, I’d be excited and overjoyed. You know, our school ranks last in both regular grades and various competitions in the whole county.”

“But why would Xiao Jinli hide his abilities? Why would he pretend to be an ordinary student? Isn’t it better to have good grades and be a top student?”

“Who knows? I’ve heard that geniuses often have their inexplicable thoughts.”

Listening to all this, Xiao Hongmei felt increasingly uncomfortable.

Deep down, she had started to regret her actions.

Her uncle had warned her that Xiao Jinli was likely a genius since the school leaders had taken notice of him.
