Had the Dean gone crazy? He was ready to accept the fact that a student had enrolled by exploiting a personal connection. But why did the Dean have to make it worse by a.s.signing this student to his cla.s.s?

Keeping Huo Yao's grades aside, every student of Wei Mingzhe's Rocket Cla.s.s was an elite. The senior year was the most crucial year in a student's academic life. If the parents found out that a student got into his cla.s.s by taking advantage of some connections, the parents would create a huge scene.

Hence, even at the risk of offending the Dean, Wei Mingzhe refused this immediately.

“Sir, I think you should a.s.sign Huo Yao to another cla.s.s. My cla.s.s is fully occupied. If I take one more student in, it will affect the performance of other students.”

He sounded pretty determined. Embarra.s.sed, the Dean cast a glance at Huo Yao. The Princ.i.p.al had gone through many troubles just to persuade the transfer student to come to their school.

The Dean cleared his throat and said to Huo Yao, “Huo Yao, please give me a moment.” Then, he winked at Wei Mingzhe and stepped out of the office.

With a frown, Wei Mingzhe followed the Dean out.

“You…”

Before the Dean could say anything to persuade Wei Mingzhe, the latter interrupted him. “Dean, I know what you are going to say. However, all of the Rocket Cla.s.s are great performers, star students. I don't need a new student to come in and drag them down.”

The Dean was baffled. “No, that will not be an issue. You don't know that Huo Yao is…”

“Forget it. Please don't waste your time anymore on this. There is no way that I will accept this transfer student.”

The Dean finally lost his temper seeing that Wei Mingzhe was being so stubborn. “I am going to ask you this one last time. Are you going to accept her?”

“No!”

The Dean burst into an angry laughter and said with a sneer, “Do not regret your decision!”

Wei Mingzhe was offended by the Dean's warning words and att.i.tude. He understood the reason for this reaction and retaliated firmly. “Never!”

“Fine.” The Dean took a deep breath and dropped the subject.

Right at that moment, the female teacher who had shown Huo Yao to the Office of Academic Affairs happened to come there. Sensing the odd atmosphere between the two, she asked with a frown. “What is going on with the both of you?”

The Dean's temper was still volatile. He turned to the female teacher at once. “I want to a.s.sign a transfer student to your cla.s.s. Will you take her or not?”

The female teacher was Chen Yu.

The Dean's words startled her. It took her a minute to understand the question. “Transfer student? Do you mean the one who pa.s.sed the online exam with a perfect score and was mentioned by the Princ.i.p.al at the meeting, the other day?”

“Yes!” The Dean stared at her with an ardent zeal in his eyes.

Before Chen Yu could share her thoughts, he had made the call for her. “It's settled then. From now on, Huo Yao will be a member of your Experimental Cla.s.s. She is in the office, right now. Mrs. Chen, take her to your cla.s.s.”

Just like any key middle school, the No.1 Middle School had set up different levels of cla.s.ses based on the students' performances. The best students were in the Rocket Cla.s.s,while the second-best cla.s.s was the Experimental Cla.s.s. Those with average grades were in the average cla.s.ses.

Of course, even the students in the average cla.s.ses here were better than the students in the key cla.s.ses of other prominent high schools.

The Princ.i.p.al had originally intended to a.s.sign Huo Yao to the Rocket Cla.s.s. However, no one had antic.i.p.ated that Wei Mingzhe would not accept her, no matter what. Therefore, the Dean had no other choice but to a.s.sign Huo Yao to the Experimental Cla.s.s.

It was not the best cla.s.s but it beat the average ones.

Chen Yu, who had just been forcefully fed a transfer student, was still in a daze. She noticed how Wei Mingzhe breathed in a sigh of relief and her heart skipped a beat.
