Chapter 350: Refused to Admit Failure

She just needed to write the answers that were already in her mind, so she didn’t even need to draft. Each maths problem was solved as she wrote the answer step by step. Even Director Jiang was stunned by her speed. He looked in surprise at Tang Xi who didn’t even need to draft or think, and his eyes were full of appreciation.

Soon Tang Xi solved out all the five problems. She put down the chalk, looked at Director Jiang and smiled. “Director Jiang, is my answer correct?”

Director Jiang nodded and his eyes brightened with appreciation. “Yes, your answer is correct, but your way of solving the problems is simpler than mine. It’s correct and easier to understand. I have to say you’re a math whiz!”

“Hey, have you finished, Peng Yu?” Someone suddenly asked.

Peng Yu who had just solved one problem froze,and then looked up at Tang Xi, and her eyes had a gleam of resentment. Not taking her anger and jealousy seriously, Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, stared at her and asked flatly, “Peng Yu, I’ve finished solving all the math problems. Have you finished? If you haven’t, you should resign from the position of the commissary in charge of studies. After all… the commissary in charge of studies is supposed to be good at study.”

Peng Yu’s face darkened and she stared at Tang Xi and lunged to her feet. “You…”

“What?” Tang Xi smiled, looked at the students and asked, “Students, did I start this dispute?”

“No.” The students echoed in succession. In fact, they didn’t like Peng Yu either. She always thought she was the best student in the class. If anyone got a higher score than her in any exam, she would accuse that student of cheating and report to teachers, which was really annoying! But she was the commissary in charge of studies. They couldn’t do anything to fight back, and at most isolated her. To their pleasure, today she messed up with a wrong person. They were happy to see her lose the position of commissary in charge of studies.

Before Tang Xi won the bet, very few people took sides with Tang Xi, because they were afraid that Peng Yu might pick on them in future, but now it was different. She was no longer the commissary in charge of studies. They didn’t have to fear her anymore, so they all took sides with Tang Xi.

“How can I be sure that you hadn’t seen these math problems before?” Peng Yu stared at Tang Xi. She didn’t believe this country bumpkin knew how to solve these problems!

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, looked at Peng Yu and then gave a meaningful look at Director Jiang as she asked Peng Yu, “Do you think I’ve colluded with Director Jiang? Or do you think I’ve colluded with the teacher of the Empire High School? Am I so powerful?” Seeing Director Jiang scowl, Tang Xi paused and continued, “Besides, why should I do this?”

Tang Xi actually made it clear that she was the new-comer and it was Peng Yu who picked on her but failed. Director Jiang got what she meant. He looked at Tang Xi with a frown, asking, “Did you two make a bet?”

Tang Xi shrugged, looked at Director Jiang and smiled. “It’s a bit stupid, so I don’t want to mention it again. If you really want to know, please ask the students. I think they’ll be willing to tell you what exactly happened. I hope Director Jiang can uphold justice for me. After all, I had been bullied by my chief teacher when I just entered the school. Now I studied hard to skip to the Grade three, but I am bullied again by the commissary in charge of studies who was also my deskmate! This really hurts me. I don’t think I can tolerate this.”

“And…” Tang Xi put on a pitiful look, and took a deep breath, saying, “My brothers told me not to hesitate to tell them if anyone bullied me, but I don’t want to make a fuss.”

Director Jiang: “…” So you are not making a fuss by threatening me with your brothers?

Tang Xi looked at Director Jiang and Pu Guoqing, and gave a faint smile. She was not going to let Peng Yu off easily. If the one she bullied was really a girl from the countryside, or the real Xiao Rou, she might have succeeded! And then… the other students would look down upon this new student, so she must give Peng Yu the punishment she deserved. Since she had agreed to resign from the position of the commissary in charge of studies if she lost the bet, then she had to resign now!

Otherwise she would still bully others!

“Ahem.” Director Jiang coughed, looked at Peng Yu and said seriously, “Since you had agreed to make the bet, you should keep your word. Resign from the positions of the commissary in charge of studies. And Tang Xi will be the new commissary in charge of studies.”

“Director, I…”

“Director, I don’t want to be the commissary in charge of studies.” Tang Xi smiled, and interrupted Peng Yu, saying, “But I want to recommend someone.”

“Oh?” Director Jiang raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Xi as he asked, “Who do you want to recommend? As far as I know, today is the first day you came to this class. Is there already someone in the class that you know?”

Tang Xi shook her head with a smile. “No, but I’m sure you all know the student I want to recommend.”

Peng Yu glared at Tang Xi as if she wanted to burn her to death with her glaring eyes. Pu Guoqing looked at Tang Xi and asked, “Who is the student? Come on, speak it out.”

“Ning Ke.” Tang Xi looked at Ning Ke and smiled as she explained, “I think Ning Ke is qualified for this position. He is my classmate in the Grade One. As far as I know, he is a very excellent student, so I want o recommend him to serve as the commissary in charge of studies.” Tang Xi paused and continued, “Besides, Ning Ke has solved these math problems too, right?”

She remembered that she spotted Ning Ke was solving the math problems just now. If she guessed right, Ning Ke must have solved them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t sit leisurely there and watch her play the show.

Ning Ke raised his eyebrows and hesitated. In fact, he just wanted to concentrate on study and didn’t want to be a class leader, but it was Xiao Rou who recommended him… If he rejected, she would be embarrassed.
