Zhang Yu and her friend’s voices were not loud, but they reached Zhou Kai and his group’s ears.
As he was busy working on his exercises, he realized that the situation was beyond his control. Today was the last day for choosing between arts and science, and it couldn’t be changed tomorrow.
Zhang Yu had already picked her private tutor, aning she would be completely separated from them, and it was useless to resist.
Zhang Yu had considered the teacher recomnded by her cousin before, but Zhang Tao told her at noon that the tutor’s schedule was full for the sumr and couldn’t make ti for one-on-one sessions, though she could join a group class, like an eight-person class.
Hearing about the eight-person small class, Zhang Yu was not very keen. Just as it happened, her deskmate’s tutor seed quite good.
According to her mories, her deskmate’s high school math tutor was this one, significantly improving her math scores, and she achieved excellent results in the college entrance exam, entering a prestigious university.
Zhang Yu thought she could do the sa, so she decided to go with this tutor, saving the hassle of finding another one.
As for whether Zhang Tao and his group would agree, with her deskmate’s example, there was no reason to oppose.
By the way, she had been calling her deskmate and forgot that her full na was Wu Minxia, quite a nice na.
Having eaten and drank to her heart’s content, Zhang Yu felt she could push herself again and picked up the exercises to continue practicing.
Wu Minxia glanced at the test questions Zhang Yu was working on, "What are these?"
"Recomnded by my brother. He knows I’m studying arts, so he got it through a classmate who is a math teacher at First High." Zhang Yu knew it must have been a practice book recomnded by the First High teacher.
Wu Mingxia was dumbfounded to learn that Zhang Yu had relatives who knew teachers from First High.
"You’re incredible." Their school was Second High School, and although only slightly behind First High, the gap in college entrance exam results was significant.
Regardless of whether it was arts or science, First High had a college acceptance rate of 90%, with over 60% entering prestigious universities. It was often said that getting into First High was like having one foot in a university.
As long as you didn’t fall behind in the next three years, it was rely the difference between a standard university and a prestigious one.
For Second High School, the gap with First High was significant, with their college acceptance rate not even matching First High’s prestigious acceptance rate.
Oh right, how could she forget? Her cousin was not happy about her choosing arts, but he would bring her so First High test papers. Zhou Kai and his group did so well partly because of this.
But now, as she chose arts, she certainly wouldn’t receive science papers. She was happy, truly happy, to see that Zhou Kai and his group’s chances for prestigious universities were shrinking further away.
"Don’t worry, I’ll share with you when the ti cos," Zhang Yu whispered.
Wu Mingxia didn’t expect Zhang Yu to be so generous. She had just entertained the idea, but she knew they were classmates and also competitors, and who would strengthen their rival?
"You, are you really willing?" Wu Minxia’s voice trembled.
"Of course, we both need to do well, and we should strive together." Zhang Yu indeed hoped Wu Minxia could work hard together, "We both have to get into prestigious universities."
"Okay." Wu Mingxia was thinking about entering the fast class and trying to cross the university cutoff line; she hadn’t even thought of a prestigious university.
Who would have thought Zhang Yu’s goal wasn’t just a standard university but a prestigious one? It truly surprised her.
"Can we really do it?" Knowing that most of Second High’s prestigious university rates ca from science classes, and getting into a prestigious university in arts was rare.
"We need to have confidence in ourselves."
"Zhou Kai and his group said I made the wrong choice, that I shouldn’t have picked arts. I want them to see that choosing arts to get into a prestigious university is better than choosing science and only getting into a diploma program."
Hahaha, when she gets into a prestigious university, and Zhou Kai and his friends enter a regular university, what does it matter if it’s science? One prestigious, one regular.
As for a job, Zhang Yu wasn’t worried. In the future, she could take civil service exams after university graduation, or she could even write online novels.
"Uh-huh," Wu Mingxia didn’t understand why Zhang Yu’s attitude towards Zhou Kai and his group reversed, but she felt Zhang Yu was doing well now. "Actually, Zhou Kai and his group are not very nice."
"They were like...," recalling the mocking words Zhou Kai and his group had about Zhang Yu, she didn’t know how to put it. It was too much.
"Saying I’m bad-tempered, talking about how bad I am, right?" See, behind her back they’re quite arrogant. "It’s okay, I know I was foolish before."
"Now that I know, I won’t indulge them."
"People will inevitably et so scumbags. If you know the other party is no good, just avoid them. In the future, when you encounter such people again, you’ll know how to deal with them." Zhang Yu directly classified Zhou Kai and his group as scumbags.
Her deskmate was a cute little girl with a tight lip. Of course, if her lips weren’t tight, how could she have a flourishing career in public service in the future? Perhaps it was also related to her family background.
Although she didn’t know her deskmate’s specific background, she rembered Zhang Tao once ca back from a parent-teacher eting and said her deskmate’s father was not simple.
The original host only overheard this and didn’t think much of it. After all, her deskmate’s tutor was a university student, dressed plainly, looking like a regular person.
For Wu Minxia, this was the first ti hearing such a perspective, quite different from what her elders and peer siblings said.
"Aren’t you worried?"
"Worried about what? You can’t et only good people in life. So people act good when you’re successful, but the mont you fall, they change their faces. They can be as obnoxious as they want."
"So it doesn’t matter. Don’t always worry about this or fear that. Focus on improving your own abilities. I believe that with absolute strength, even bad people beco good."
Wu Minxia felt it made sense, and when she got ho, she shared these words with her parents, who happened to be ho. They found it quite interesting.
"It makes sense; with absolute strength, the bad people are good, and the good ones are even better." Mr. Wu found her to be an interesting girl.
"Engage with them more. I thought she was a silly girl, but she knows everything." Normally, he wouldn’t interfere with his child’s choice of friends. They were just classmates; if they got along, great, and if not, it didn’t matter.
Maintaining friendships is not easy, especially for families like theirs. True friendship is indeed rarer.
"Okay." Wu Minxia nodded, "I also think she’s quite nice. I used to think she was just too trusting."
"But you still have to be careful." Mr. Wu reminded.
"I know." Wu Minxia understood her father’s aning. "Besides, Zhang Yu isn’t reckless."
"And none of our classmates know about our family situation." Her classmates thought her parents were just ordinary staff in governntal departnts, never imagining anything else.
Mr. Wu knew his daughter handled this well, "Right, my daughter’s absolutely right."
