Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 71 Enthusiastic Li Xu

"What are you good at?"

Li Xu was having a friendly conversation with An Duoduo when he suddenly heard a question from behind.

Li Xu turned around and saw that it was indeed their English teacher and class teacher Yang Jun.

"Uh, Teacher Yang..."

"Let's put the holiday aside for now. Both of you come to my office. I have something to tell you two."

Yang Jun's eyes swept over Li Xu and An Duoduo.

Li Xu and An Duoduo looked at each other, not understanding what Yang Jun wanted them to do by calling them over.

Outside the window, the wind was cold and hit the glass from time to time, making a slight rustling sound.

In the office, the warm radiator was crackling, casting a lazy veil over the room.

Yang Jun leaned back in the creaking office chair, wrapped in a plain woolen shawl, with her eyes half closed.

On the old wooden table in front of her, the steaming cup of coffee had disappeared.

The students' report cards for each course were spread out next to them, with red pen casually pressing on them.

"come in."

Yang Jun put the cap on the red pen and spoke to Li Xu and An Duoduo outside.

"I called you here for two things. Let me tell you separately."

Yang Jun first set his sights on An Duoduo.

"You scored 128 points in English on this final exam! You're among the top students in the class. The teacher is very pleased."

Li Xu has now developed the good habit of listening and observing.

When Yang Jun said this, he had been paying attention to Yang Jun's expression.

Although he said he was relieved, Yang Jun's expression was very serious, and it was obvious that he had something else to say.

As expected, Yang Jun changed the subject: "But... your math score... you are the third from the bottom in our class."

An Duoduo lowered her head deeply.

"I didn't call you here this time to criticize you."

"The teacher just wants you to realize the seriousness of this problem..."

"Your academic performance is seriously imbalanced. Although your English score is excellent, your overall score is only in the middle to lower reaches of the class because of your poor math performance... If you don't work harder, the teacher will feel very sorry."

"Ah."

"Mathematically, what is the reason?"

Yang Jun leaned forward slightly and approached An Duoduo to ask seriously.

An Duoduo didn't say anything.

Yang Jun continued to ask: "Is it because you can't understand it, you haven't spent enough time, or is there some other reason?"

"Don't be nervous, the teacher just wants to understand your confusion, and then we can solve it in a targeted way..."

"Winter vacation is coming up next, and the ranking test will be held when school starts."

"The bottom five students in our class and the bottom five students in the next-door Class 2 have a 50% chance of being eliminated and entering Class 1. You all know this."

"Although I believe you won't end up in the bottom five, if other students in the class work hard this winter break and their scores improve further, it's not impossible."

"Your English grades are so good, the teacher will feel it's a pity."

After a pause, Yang Jun asked again: "What is the reason?"

"Teacher, I was wrong..."

An Duoduo buried her head even lower.

"We're not discussing right or wrong, the teacher isn't criticizing you..."

Yang Jun felt a little helpless.

Li Xu, who was standing next to him, watched the scene with interest.

If An Duoduo was called here because of her poor math grades, then what was her reason?

In comparison, I scored over 100 points in both subjects, which is considered to be in the upper-middle level in the class.

"Well, think about it carefully. If you're ready, tell me. If you really don't want to talk about it... there's nothing I can do."

Yang Jun turned his gaze to Li Xu again: "Then let's talk about your business next."

"Ah."

Li Xu was very calm.

Yang Jun flipped through Li Xu's report card...

He read it silently several times, then slowly raised his head.

"I only have one purpose for calling you here today..."

Yang Jun was silent for a moment before speaking a little stiffly, "That's great progress, worthy of praise!"

"Yeah." Li Xu responded indifferently.

Yang Jun continued, "I still remember that before you asked for leave, your monthly exam scores for math and English combined were less than 80 points, but now you can get that score..."

"If you only look at these two subjects, you're in the top 10 in the class."

“It took a lot of effort, didn’t it?”

As Yang Jun spoke, he glanced at An Duoduo beside him. He had called Li Xu and An Duoduo together to discuss this matter, perhaps hoping to use Li Xu's experience to inspire An Duoduo.

Li Xu said sincerely, "It's not that hard... I didn't learn it before, but I'm learning it now."

Yang Jun was a little surprised that Li Xu was so humble.

In her impression, Li Xu did not seem to be a reserved and humble person.

She nodded and continued, "I hope you can keep it up. When school starts, there will be a ranking test. I hope you can keep up this momentum."

"it is good."

Li Xu smiled and said, "I hope I can study in Class 5 or 6 next semester."

Yang Jun blinked in surprise, then laughed, "This isn't that easy."

"You want to go to Class 5 or 6. Putting your overall grades aside, you still have a lot of room for improvement in English."

"English score?"

Li Xu asked curiously, "Is the English requirement particularly high? Do I need to score 130 or 140?"

Yang Jun shook his head: "It's not just about the grades... The most important thing for Class 5 and Class 6 is not the grades on paper, but... communication skills."

"Communication skills?"

Yang Jun nodded: "Don't you understand this?"

"It's like this... Classes 5 and 6 are already considered key classes... Although they're not as good as the classes at Peking University or Tsinghua University, students who can enter Classes 5 and 6 have one foot on the threshold of a key university."

"English is taught entirely in English, and there is basically no Chinese in the entire class..."

"If you can't understand or speak, you won't be able to keep up. So, in addition to meeting the academic requirements, you also need to take an oral test to enter classes five and six."

Yang Jun looked at Li Xu and asked, "How's your spoken English?"

Li Xu was silent for a moment.

Yang Jun smiled and said, "However, I am very pleased that you have such goals and ideas."

Compared with advancing from Class 1 to Class 2 and Class 3, advancing from Class 3 and Class 4 to Class 5 and Class 6 is much more difficult.

It takes both talent and hard work.

Yang Jun looked at An Duoduo again and asked, "Duoduo, what do you think?"

"I...will definitely work harder next time."

Yang Jun sighed slightly and said, "Okay then. If you encounter any difficulties in your studies, please communicate with your teacher in a timely manner, okay?"

"The teacher will definitely find a way to help you solve the problem. Okay, I won't interrupt your break time. See you next semester."

……

After leaving Yang Jun's office, An Duoduo suddenly bumped into Li Xu.

"Ok?"

"When the teacher calls me over, it's criticism, but when he calls you over, it's praise."

An Duoduo asked helplessly, "How did you improve your math grades?"

"Didn't I tell you... this is something I'm good at, and I'm willing to teach you."

An Duoduo stopped and looked at Li Xu with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Li Xu asked curiously.

An Duoduo shook her head and continued walking forward, saying, "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of the scene when you were explaining the problem to Chen Feiyang."

"Ah."

"Thank you then... I'll call you."

The two still parted at the intersection. An Duoduo glanced in the direction where Li Xu left, with a faint smile on her lips.

She knew that Li Xu's family was very rich.

But after interacting with him for a while, I found that he didn't have the arrogance of the legendary playboy. Instead, he was very reserved and modest, and was very easygoing when interacting with others...

All in all, it's not disgusting.

The scene where he taught mathematics to Chen Feiyang a while ago left a deep impression on An Duoduo.

When I spoke, I acted like I was your father.

He forced Chen Feiyang onto the table, refusing to question or resist, and then patiently explained those headache-inducing math problems over and over again...

Although his own math grades were not that good, he was still willing to spend his time to help his good brother improve his grades.

People like this are really rare.

He's sentimental and warm-hearted, and so far, I haven't found any obvious flaws in him...

And last time, when he collided with someone on the court to protect himself...

Silly.

Now, has this enthusiasm spread to me?

Ha ha……

I just don't know if a math idiot like me will piss him off to death.

An Duoduo thought about this interestingly and slowly walked towards home.
