After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 513

Chapter 513: Who Interviews Whom?
Two children were excited beyond measure, but Qin Lie once again reminded them, “The exam time is approaching.”

Only then did the two react and hurriedly dragged Qin Feng towards the school. Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng followed closely behind.

The headmaster was already waiting at the gate and greeted them with a smile, “Mr. Qin, you’re here.”

He was in his forties, with a kind face, fair complexion, slightly plump, wearing glasses, giving him a somewhat scholarly appearance. Always smiling, he looked very comforting.

Zhouzhou looked up at him and said in a sweet voice, “Teacher, sorry, we’re late because we went to take care of Little Black’s illness.”

Upon hearing this, the headmaster looked down at her, unable to muster any anger when he saw the clear gaze of the little girl. He shook his head with a smile and said, “It’s okay, you’re not late.”

Then, a figure rushed past them, his face turned stern as he scolded, “Dou Chengcheng, you’re late again! How many times is this? Write an 800-word reflection before school ends, or don’t bother going home!”

His voice was thunderous, a stark contrast to his previous gentleness.

Zhouzhou was also startled, staring at him blankly, her mouth agape.

Are all people who wear glasses two-faced?

Her Big Brother was like this.

No, this teacher was even more formidable than her Big Brother. He could change his demeanor without taking off his glasses.

So impressive.

As the headmaster lowered his head, he met Zhouzhou’s admiring gaze. His old face immediately turned red, he coughed lightly, and instantly returned to his usual appearance, saying softly, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to the exam.”

“Okay.”

Zhouzhou nodded and bounced along behind him, only to see the student who had just been scolded making faces at them, acting very arrogantly.

Zhouzhou was even more admiring now. Elementary school students are indeed impressive!

But she dare not be like that all the time, or she won’t get any gold stars.

The headmaster also noticed and felt a headache coming on.

He pinched his brow and explained, “This kid is a troublemaker, hard to manage. The rest of you, don’t follow his example.”

Several nodded in agreement, looking obedient, especially Zhouzhou, who seemed like a docile little girl.

She must be protected, lest Dou Chengcheng bullies her.

At this moment, he was still unaware of Zhouzhou’s little fist.

Clearly, he was still too inexperienced.

The papers were ready, and he led them to the office, giving each of them a paper to write on.

He watched them closely and quickly had an idea of their abilities.

Among the children, Qin Feng was the most solid in his studies, well-rounded. Zhouzhou was fast at solving problems, especially in mathematics, hardly needing scratch paper, almost able to figure out the answers at a glance.

But this Huo Ji’an, why did he always seem so nervous when counting on his fingers, and occasionally glance at his fingers as if they might disappear in the next moment? Strange.

But fortunately, their accuracy was very high, especially Zhouzhou and Qin Feng, who got all the answers right.

Huo Ji’an made a few mistakes, but he was still far above the level of normal students, considering he was still in kindergarten. It was quite impressive.

In less than an hour, they finished the papers. The headmaster had already calculated the scores but didn’t say anything, instead leading them to another classroom.

This time, they didn’t enter together but went into separate rooms.

Zhouzhou had never seen this before and curiously stretched her small head, only to see empty rooms with a few desks and several teachers sitting behind them.

All dressed formally, they looked serious.

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up even more.

Wow, elementary school teachers are so cool!

Seeing her like this, the headmaster couldn’t help but chuckle, “Come on in, let’s have a simple interview, don’t be nervous.”

Zhouzhou nodded, not nervous at all.

As she walked to the center, she bowed to them and said in a sweet, nasal voice, “Hello, teachers~”

Who wouldn’t love such a soft little girl? Several teachers immediately softened their expressions.

The headmaster smiled and asked, “Zhouzhou, why do you want to skip a grade? According to your age, you could easily enter primary school next year.”

He thought she might mention a love for learning or something similar, but Zhouzhou blurted out without hesitation, “Because Brother Dafu said, only by going to primary school can you get a scholarship.”

At this, the teachers were momentarily stunned, and even the headmaster was somewhat surprised, asking, “Who is Brother Dafu?”

“He’s my second brother, his real name is Qin Er, and Qin Dafu is the name he wants to change to in the future.”

Upon hearing it was Qin Er, the teachers’ faces suddenly showed understanding. They were not surprised at all; apparently, they were already used to it.

Qin Er was undoubtedly a favorite student of the teachers. He excelled in his studies, actively participated in various competitions, paid attention in class, and diligently did his homework.

Not only his own, but he also helped other classmates with theirs. He charged five yuan per subject and even offered a monthly subscription service with different fonts to choose from.

To earn money, there was nothing he wouldn’t do. And that thing he got earlier, the perfect score symbol, was popular throughout the school. Nobody knew where he got it from.

In comparison, the teachers didn’t focus much on his academics during regular lessons; most of their time was spent on money matters.

They taught him what money could be earned and what couldn’t, reinforced home-school cooperation, and if he earned money that he shouldn’t have, he would be fined double. That’s how they straightened him out.

But if he couldn’t earn money, he would save money and economize at the same time.

This miser even didn’t let water go to waste, always filling his water bottle at the end of the school day because the school’s water was free.

Thinking of his antics, the teachers couldn’t help but twitch their mouths, and even the headmaster felt speechless.

Looking at the soft-faced little girl, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Was there another money worshipper coming to their school?

Zhouzhou was unaware that they had already seen through her true identity and continued to ask eagerly, “Teachers, how often do you test us?”

One of the teachers, seeing her sincere gaze, instinctively answered, “It varies, sometimes once a month, sometimes every two months.”

“Do you get scholarships every time?”

“Not necessarily, usually only during major exams like midterms and finals.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou couldn’t help but feel disappointed. So few.

Seeing the disappointment in the little girl’s eyes, the teacher felt sorry for her. Before she could ask, he volunteered, “Apart from exams, there are various competitions with cash prizes.”

At this, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up.

“What kind of competitions are there?”

The teacher gave examples, not realizing that this interview had already veered off track.

The headmaster thought to himself, who’s interviewing whom?

Seeing Zhouzhou’s face light up whenever money was mentioned, the headmaster’s sense of foreboding grew stronger.

No, he decided, starting today, their school would start charging for water!
