141 Too Lazy To Struggle
Although Leon didn’t want any strangers in the house, nothing was more important than Vivian’s needs. “Then we’ll hire a nanny who can make nutritious meals and has experience in taking care of pregnant women.”
Vivian nodded.
Three days later, after a series of screenings by Leon, he finally selected a professional who had been in the housekeeping industry for 16 years.
The woman was called Fanny. She was 42 years old, single, and unwed. She was quick-witted and had a good eye for things. Every time Leon and Vivian were alone, she would go to the kitchen or the second floor to clean up. After finishing all the work, she would go to her room and leave the door open, waiting for her call.
Time passed quickly, and it was time for Leon’s first mid-term exam since he transferred to another school.
Tantorn public school was different from most other schools. Not only would there be specific scores, but there would also be specific rankings for the year.
The students took the exam for three days in a row, and the results were out before the weekend. On Friday morning, the results were posted on the bulletin board, but only the top 100 of each grade were announced.
Leon saw a large group of people in the distance. He glanced at them and then walked towards the classroom.
Frank rushed into the classroom and quickly walked to the back row. “Leon, are you a devil?!”
Simon followed closely behind, looking at Leon with excitement.
The two of them sat down, one in front of him and the other on his right. Frank saw that Leon still calmly do the questions. He stretched his head out to take a look, but he didn’t understand anything. He impatiently grabbed Lai an’S Pen and asked, “Have you seen the ranking list?”
Leon finally gave Frank a look. “No.”
“Then do you know who the top student is in the grade?” Asked Frank with a mysterious look.
Leon chuckled. “Do I still need to guess when you’re so obvious?”
Frank’s expression froze.”You’re that confident?”
Leon picked up another pen on the table and leaned back in his chair. He skillfully spun the pen and thought for a moment before saying his estimated score. “The total score is 1300. I should be between 1285 and 1295, right?”
Frank and Simon went to look at the scores together. Leon had 1293 points, 15 points ahead of the second place. Simon had 1275 points, ranked third. Frank saw Simon’s back when he passed by, so he went over to watch the fun.
Simon’s eyes lit up. “You can count points?”
Leon replied seriously, “Objective questions all have standard answers. I can’t be wrong about that. Some more subjective questions will involve the teacher’s preferences. This part is more difficult for me to calculate at the moment. However, my arguments are supported by data papers, so no matter how many marks they deduct, there’s a limit. I can only estimate the approximate value.”
Frank was unconvinced and said, “You’re so sure?” What if you’re wrong?”
Leon glanced at Frank and replied with certainty, “It’s such a simple question. I can’t possibly get it wrong.”
Simon nodded seriously. “Every time the new semester starts, I’ll ask the teacher for the previous test papers to do. Frank, you may not know this since you’ve just arrived this semester, but the difficulty of the test this time is the easiest in the past two years.”
Frank, who was ranked 13 from the bottom of the grade:…
“Go up to the podium and collect your own test paper!” The two students entered the classroom with a few stacks of test papers.
Frank opened his eyes slightly and rushed to the podium to look for Leon’s test paper.
The exam papers had been divided according to the names, and butterfly clips were used to put the exam papers of each subject together so that it was easy for everyone to look through them.
Frank found Leon’s test paper and saw that it was full of red ticks. Everything was as Leon had expected. The points deducted were all on the subjective questions.
Frank’s test paper was after Simon’s. After Simon saw it, he handed it to him and then picked up his own. “Let’s go back to our seats.”
Frank suddenly felt so lonely. After giving the test paper to Leon, he looked at the two of them and said after a long while, “I declare that I have nothing in common with you guys. I’m going to play Tetris.
When Simon was picking up the test paper, he had accidentally glanced at Frank’s paper. The shocking number of red crosses was almost the same as the number of correct answers he had.
Simon thought of Frank’s never disdainful expression when he came to his house, and he was also very respectful to his parents, so he decided to persuade Frank. “Frank, it’s only the second year of junior high. It’s still not too late for you to start studying hard now.”
Thinking of his score, Frank’s expression stiffened. He laughed dryly a few times. “I’ll pass. My score has fallen to the bottom. I’m too lazy to struggle.”
