Chapter 315 Gambling
Chapter 315 Gambling
Time flies, and finally it's Friday.
Finally, the day for announcing the results has arrived.
"Mr. Zhang, what do you say? Can you pass the exam?"
"How would I know? I didn't understand many of the questions and didn't know how to answer them. I just hope the teacher will let me pass."
"Me too. I feel like I can't pass. I just hope the teacher won't let me repeat the grade. I'd rather take a make-up exam next year than repeat the grade."
Everyone was talking about their test scores with great concern.
Yu Xingmei poked Li Kailang's shoulder and said, "Hey, Kailang, how did you do in the exam?"
"I think you can pass. You entered the school later and took fewer exams than us. There is a high chance that you can pass. You will definitely be able to enroll next semester."
Jin Jianxian nodded: "I think so too. You looked like you were inspired by God on the day of the exam. But it's impossible."
The two knew Li Kailang a little and were confident that he would pass the exam.
Li Kailang smiled, also full of confidence, "We can pass it, maybe there will be a little surprise for you."
"Oh, what surprise?" Yu Xingmei asked curiously.
Li Kailang smiled mysteriously, "You will know in a moment, I won't tell you yet."
"Tsk! Why do you all like playing riddles so much? What's so fun about it? It's so annoying!" Yu Xingmei complained unhappily.
Li Kailang and Jin Jianxian looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. They sometimes used this to tease Yu Xingmei.
"Oh, Li Kailang, you're not even sure if you can pass the exam, and you still have the mood to play guessing games here?" Suddenly, an unpleasant voice was heard.
The three of them looked in the direction of the voice and their smiles disappeared immediately when they saw the person coming. It was Lai Yicheng.
"The annoying guy is here again." Yu Xingmei muttered softly.
Li Kailang said, "Why, is it possible that I can't pass it?"
Lai Yicheng didn't care: "Maybe, the teacher will come to announce the test results later, I hope you don't cry."
"Maybe you won't pass the test and won't be able to enter night school. That would be terrible. This little surprise would turn into a shock."
Lai Yicheng shook his head with pretended regret, as if sighing for Li Kailang.
Li Kailang rolled his eyes and said, "You don't need to worry about it. You should worry about yourself. What if you fail?"
"Hahaha!"
Lai Yicheng seemed to have heard a huge joke, and pointed at himself in disbelief: "I didn't pass? How is that possible? Are you kidding me?"
"Who knows, maybe you really didn't pass." Li Kailang spread his hands with a helpless expression.
Li Kailang didn't know Lai Yicheng's results, and didn't know whether he could pass, but he couldn't lose in the speech.
"Good boy, you actually cursed me, you have the guts!"
But Li Kailang's behavior instantly broke Lai Yicheng's defense, and he could roughly guess whether he could pass the exam.
He was not completely sure that he could pass, but Li Kailang could not say that.
In addition to the humiliation I suffered at the steel mill a few days ago, today is the perfect opportunity to get back at it.
Lai Yicheng: "Li Kailang, do you dare to bet with me? Let's bet on who will fail!"
Li Kailang smiled and said, "Why not? But what's the stakes?"
Lai Yicheng has walked into trouble. He knows his own results, so he is sure to win this bet.
Lai Yicheng: "Anyone who fails will shout three times in front of the whole class that they are a fool!"
Li Kailang: "Sure, come here, everyone, and be our referees."
"Okay, I'll be the referee!" Jin Jianxian was the first to respond, and other students followed suit.
How could they not get involved in such a fun thing?
"Li Kailang, just wait and see, wait for people to call you a fool." Lai Yicheng tapped Li Kailang's shoulder with his finger.
Li Kailang slapped him away, "Lai Yicheng, don't be too happy too soon, maybe you will call yourself a fool."
"Hmph, such nonsense. Let's wait and see." Lai Yicheng shook his head, very nonchalant.
Seeing this, Li Kailang smiled slightly, "I hope you are not trying to be good at talking, otherwise you will lose face later."
Lai Yicheng snorted coldly, too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Kailang, and sat back in his seat.
"Kanglai, do you have confidence?" Yu Xingmei asked worriedly.
"Of course I'm 100% confident. Just wait and see." Li Kailang deliberately spoke loudly.
"Click, click--" Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Everyone was very familiar with this tone and hurried back to their seats.
Not long after, Yan Wanbin walked in, looked at the students who had already taken their seats, and cleared his throat.
"Classmates, hello everyone. I believe you all know why we are here today."
"I won't waste any more time and will just announce the results. Please come up and get your test paper when your name is called."
Yan Wanbin spread out the test paper and picked up the first one.
"Xue Changshan, 75."
"Bi Jinhai, 62."
"Liang Changxing."
Upon hearing their test results, those who passed the test cheered instantly and happily went on stage to receive their test papers.
Those who did not hear the results naturally failed the exam, and they were all dejected.
"Kim Gun-hyun, 87."
"Yu Xingmei, 81."
"Qi Mengru, 71."
Hearing the results of his two friends, Li Kailang couldn't help but be happy for them. At the same time, Li Kailang was a little surprised at Qi Mengru.
"I didn't expect Qi Mengru's grades were not bad. I thought she was that kind of person, but I was superficial."
Because of Jin Jianxian's explanation, Li Kailang had a preconceived impression of Qi Mengru, thinking that she was hovering on the passing line, but he didn't expect that her results were not much worse.
As the results were announced one by one, those whose names were not called listened more carefully.
The further Yan Wanbin read, the more people failed the exam, and no one wanted to fail.
"Rai Yicheng."
When he heard his name, Lai Yicheng instantly stared at Yan Wanbin, wanting to know his results.
"I'm coming!"
Similarly, everyone instantly focused their attention on their ears. They were the referees and they had to listen carefully to Lai Yicheng's results.
When Yan Wanbin read the name of Lai Yicheng, he paused and looked up at him.
This look was very meaningful in the eyes of Lai Yicheng and everyone else.
"Wan Yongzhi, 61."
"call--"
In an instant, everyone looked at Wan Yongzhi. Yan Wanbin did not read out the results, which meant that Lai Yicheng's results were not satisfactory!
Lai Yicheng stood up instantly and said, "Teacher, my grades haven't been read out yet."
"Lai Yicheng, your results are unsatisfactory!" Yan Wanbin said indifferently.
"Impossible! Teacher, did you make a mistake? How could I fail?" Lai Yicheng said in disbelief.
As soon as he said this, Yan Wanbin stared at him seriously: "Lai Yicheng, are you suspecting that I tampered with your results and deliberately failed you?"
"No, no!" Lai Yicheng waved his hands and shook his head frantically.
"Teacher, that's not what I meant. What I meant was how could I fail? I answered the questions very well."
As soon as he said this, Yan Wanbin instantly became furious and threw Lai Yicheng's test paper away without any hesitation.
"You still have the nerve to say that you answered well, but look at what you answered, it's irrelevant and nonsense."
"I am getting more and more angry while marking your answers. Take a good look at your answers yourself and see how you answered them."
Lai Yicheng quickly picked up the test paper, and everyone gathered around to take a look out of curiosity.
"That's right, that's the answer." At first glance, some people didn't see anything wrong with it, and there was nothing wrong with Lai Yicheng's answer.
"Stupid, read the question carefully, then look at the answer." Someone pointed out the problem.
Everyone looked up at the question first, then at Lai Yicheng's answer, and instantly understood.
“This is the wrong answer.”
Looking at Lai Yicheng's answer alone, there is nothing wrong with it, but his answer is not related to the question, which means he answered the wrong knowledge point. Let's take a simple example using poetry.
It should have been: I looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, for I am not from Penglai.
But Lai Yicheng replied: I laughed loudly towards the sky and went out, and when I came back, I sighed while leaning on my stick.
There is nothing wrong with these two lines of poetry alone, but it is wrong to mix them together.
This is a mistake that is made because of confusing knowledge points and a weak foundation.
Yan Wanbin: "What else do you have to say? Don't think I don't know what you have been thinking about during this period."
"Count how many days you've taken off this semester and how many days you've been attending classes seriously. I've seen it all. Don't think you can skip classes just because you're a technician."
How could Li Kailang miss such a good opportunity? He immediately took advantage of the situation and made trouble.
"Lai Yicheng, you didn't pass the test, why don't you just call yourself a fool!"
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, who was it just now who boasted that he could pass, and now he failed, tsk, tsk, tsk, what a shame, what a shame!”
Yan Wanbin gave Li Kailang a thumbs up in his heart for his sudden attack, and he took this opportunity to give Lai Yicheng a warning.
"Li Kailang, what's your name? Just because I didn't pass, it doesn't mean you can pass." Lai Yicheng was instantly broken by Li Kailang's words and said angrily.
Li Kailang shook his hand: "Oh, you don't have to worry about this. I will definitely pass. This is a done deal."
Hearing this, everyone stopped wanting to make trouble immediately, as the bet between the two was not over yet.
Lai Yicheng has failed now, but Li Kailang’s result has not been announced yet.
Maybe both of them failed, and that would be Daping.
"What's going on?" Yan Wanbin asked curiously.
After everyone explained, Yan Wanbin finally understood what had happened.
"Originally, I was thinking that Li Kailang would be the last one to announce. Since you two have made a bet, I will just announce Li Kailang's result directly."
Yan Wanbin took out the last few test papers and held them in front of everyone.
"Li Kailang, 92 points and 96 points."
"Let us congratulate Li Kailang for passing the exam."
"Impossible, impossible." Lai Yicheng couldn't believe the result. "I don't accept it. The difficulty of the exam is different from his. If he can pass it, I can definitely pass it too."
Yu Xingmei: "Hey, Lai Yicheng, what you said is not very authentic. The two of you just bet on who will pass the exam, not the difficulty. You are just making a fuss after the fact."
"Or do you want to deny that you said that on purpose? You want to break your promise, right? All the classmates in the class are the judges."
"Xingmei is right. What? You want to deny it, Lai Yicheng?" Everyone echoed, "Even if you don't want to shout, you've already lost."
Everyone has a bad impression of him, so how could anyone speak up for him?
"Lai Yicheng, if Li Kailang and you took the same test paper, could you still deny it?" Yan Wanbin suddenly said.
"If he takes the same test as me, I will tell you now." Lai Yicheng said hurriedly, looking at Yan Wanbin with gratitude.
In response, Yan Wanbin smiled and handed two test papers to Lai Yicheng, "Take a good look, Li Kailang and you took the same test paper."
Lai Yicheng took the test paper and saw that it was the same one he took. He tried to find the difference in the test paper, but couldn't find any.
"What's the matter? Don't you have anything to say? Why don't you shout?" Yu Xingmei said sarcastically.
"This is impossible." Lai Yicheng still couldn't believe it and refused to say anything.
Everyone noticed a question at this time, "Teacher, why does Li Kailang have two grades?"
Yan Wanbin handed out the remaining two test papers. "Li Kailang not only took this semester's test like you, but he also took last semester's test."
"That is to say, Li Kailang will be enrolled in the second grade with everyone else. He won't have to repeat a grade. Everyone, please welcome him with applause!"
As he spoke, Yan Wanbin was the first to applaud and welcome Li Kailang.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and felt it was incredible, but they also applauded and welcomed it.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Lai Yicheng was still skeptical.
Yan Wanbin: "The test paper is right here, take a look yourself. I was the one who graded Li Kailang's test paper that day, and I checked it three times over and over again. There is absolutely no way it could be wrong."
Lai Yicheng took the test paper and looked at it carefully, recalling the final exam of last semester. This was more difficult than the one he had taken before.
Even so, Li Kailang scored better than him, which made him unbelievable.
But the test paper was right in front of him, and Lai Yicheng wanted to get out of it, but he couldn't.
Suddenly, Lai Yicheng glared at Li Kailang, "Li Kailang, you knew the results and deliberately made a bet with me, right?"
Li Kailang: "Oh, yes, I knew the result after I took the test that day."
"But I didn't make this bet. You made it. You have to accept the loss. It's time for you to cash in your stake."
"Lai Yicheng, you've just shot yourself in the foot." Yu Xingmei continued to add insult to injury.
"Shout! Shout! Lai Yicheng shout!" Everyone immediately surrounded Lai Yicheng and started to make a noise.
Listening to the booing coming from his ears, Lai Yicheng's face turned red and his mouth twitched for a while.
He opened his mouth and closed it, but no sound came out.
Seeing Lai Yicheng in such an embarrassing state, Yan Wanbin said again: "Lai Yicheng, you failed the exam this time, so you don't have to be promoted to the second grade at the beginning of the school year."
"Repeat the grade with the freshmen. I'll tell the other teachers about this."
Originally, Lai Yicheng didn't have to repeat the grade, but his tone was bad and he even dared to doubt Yan Wanbin. How could Yan Wanbin tolerate Lai Yicheng?
Yan Wanbin's words were the last straw that broke the camel's back. Lai Yicheng couldn't stand this atmosphere and ran away.
"Hey, Lai Yicheng, why did you run away? I haven't called you yet!" Before everyone could stop him, Lai Yicheng ran out of the classroom.
Li Kailang: "Don't worry about him. It doesn't matter if he calls me that or not. The shame is here anyway. And after today, we will all be strangers to him."
After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense.
Yan Wanbin: "There is one more thing. All students who failed the exam do not need to repeat the grade. They can just take the exam again next year!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the students who failed the exam cheered immediately.
"Teacher Yan is wise!"
“Thank you, Teacher Yan!”
Lai Yicheng, who was running far away, felt even more embarrassed when he heard the cheers behind him, and ran even faster.
Lai Yicheng was the only one in the entire class who was held back. Who would believe that Yan Wanbin was not targeting him?
After Yan Wanbin read out the names of the remaining few, he left the classroom to the rest of the students.
Everyone looked at Li Kailang with sincere eyes, wondering how he had managed to catch up with them in just two months.
This is two semesters' worth of books, and they can't even finish reading them, let alone get a good grade of over 2 points.
"Kailang, I didn't expect this. This is the little surprise you gave us. You are so awesome!" Yu Xingmei patted Li Kailang's shoulder hard.
Jin Jianxian: "Kanglang, your surprise is really unexpected. How did you get this score? Tell me."
Everyone couldn't help but look at Li Kailang with admiration.
Although no one knows how Li Kailang did it, since Yan Wanbin announced it, everyone can only accept this fact.
After exchanging pleasantries for about half an hour, everyone took their test papers and went home.
The next school term will be after the autumn harvest, when everyone can finally have a long break and relax.
Although we still have to go to work, at least we don’t have to work so hard. Today is also a rare day when everyone can go home early.
Not far from the teaching location, Lai Yicheng hid in the corner. He did not run far away, but hid in the corner.
Looking at Li Kailang's back as he rode away on his bike, Lai Yicheng's eyes were filled with hatred and he gritted his teeth.
"Li Kailang, just wait for me. You dare to embarrass me? I will never let you go."
Li Kailang had no idea that he had offended another villain invisibly, but even if he knew, what could he do?
Those who wanted to kill him have all become victims of his gun.
He was also unlucky. He was just studying, not dealing in money, but he actually met such a person. He didn't meet such a person when he was studying in his previous life.
If you can't study well, just work harder. I didn't expect there are people who are so jealous and can't stand others doing well.
As soon as Li Kailang left, Yan Wanbin walked out of the door.
As soon as he saw Yan Wanbin, Lai Yicheng immediately turned around and left, fearing that he would be discovered by Yan Wanbin. Yan Wanbin was not someone he could deal with.
With his background, he could get a job as a student, but he couldn't get a job as an engineer at the Second Machine Tool Factory.
Even though his father is the deputy director of resource allocation in the department, he is required to actively cooperate in handling the resources of these large factories instead of deliberately causing trouble.
Otherwise, they will be the ones who suffer in the end.
