This made Jian Ai feel a little uncomfortable. After all, in both her previous and current lives, her classmates in Erzhong never liked her.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Jian Ai quickly thanked everyone and pulled Xia Qinghuan back to her seat.
Jian Yiyi looked at Jian Ai’s back with unwillingness in her eyes. She gritted her teeth. It was Jian Ai again. Why did she always suppress her?
She could not win against her in the monthly examination or the Olympiad.
Jian Yiyi was unwilling to accept this. She clenched her fists secretly.
At this moment, praise rose and fell in the teachers’ office. The teachers congratulated Year One, Class One’s form teacher, Sun Dasheng.
“Teacher Sun, the Jian Ai in your class is a good seedling.”
“That’s right. There has never been a situation where someone scored full marks in such competitions. This child’s brain is superb.”
“Jian Ai was also the top student in our school during the preliminary competition.”
Sun Dasheng also had a smile on his face today. As the form teacher, he was naturally proud that his students had won the gold award in such an important competition.
He couldn’t help but nod and praise. “Jian Ai is usually very serious in her studies and is honest and obedient. Last time, she was distributed to Class One by clinching the first place in the monthly examination.”
The teachers discussed fervently again before dispersing to prepare for class.
Not long after, Sun Dasheng appeared in Class One with an energetic and happy expression. Xia Qinghuan said, “Stand up!”
The students stood up one after another. “Hello, teacher!”
Sun Dasheng usually had a serious expression on his face. Today, he had a rare smile on his face. He nodded and said, “Hello, students. Please sit.”
After everyone sat down, Sun Dasheng said, “I believe everyone knows that our class’ Jian Ai and Jian Yiyi represented Erzhong in our city’s Mathematical Olympiad. They both achieved excellent results.”
“Especially Jian Ai, who won the gold award with full marks. Everyone, clap and encourage her!”
As soon as he finished speaking, another round of applause sounded.
Jian Yiyi’s expression shattered. Although the bronze award was already an excellent result, who would care about a mere bronze award when compared to Jian Ai’s gold award?
Jian Ai had stolen all the limelight. This made Jian Yiyi, who liked to be the focus of attention, furious. However, she still had to maintain a smile on her face. How infuriating!
Looking at Jian Ai, who had already quickly gotten used to the students’ applause and sat in her seat with a calm smile, looking neither arrogant nor rash, Sun Dasheng couldn’t help but nod secretly.
They held the award ceremony during the inter-school exercise. As the winner of the gold award, apart from receiving a certificate and a trophy from the City Education Bureau, Jian Ai also received three thousand yuan from Erzhong, which was presented to her by Principal Sun.
In this era, three thousand yuan was not a small sum. It was already higher than the monthly salary of the working class. Probably only a noble school like Erzhong could give three thousand yuan.
Jian Yiyi and the other bronze award winner received two thousand yuan each.
The news of a perfect score in the competition spread like wildfire in school. This was not only news in the Year One cohort, but the entire school was discussing it fervently. Wouldn’t it be amazing to score full marks in such a competition?
Jian Ai was already crying in her heart.. It was difficult for news about her in Erzhong to finally be positive.
