Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 25 - 24. The contest between the bad student and the good student!

Chapter 25: 24. The contest between the bad student and the good student!

So Pu Sangzhi took on the job of tutoring Lin Qianqian.

Lin Qianqian’s mother, Wu Cuidi, was at her wits’ end with her daughter.

With the middle school exams looming next year, Lin Qianqian still spent her days idly, unresponsive to scolding and unchanged by reprimands, causing a great deal of headache.

Hence, out of sheer desperation, Wu Cuidi gritted her teeth and decided to scrape together a bit more money from their already tight budget to spend on Lin Qianqian’s tutoring fees.

Private tutoring was the only method.

You see, with five subjects on the middle school exams, it wasn’t feasible to hire five different teachers. It would be best to spend the money on one teacher who was proficient in all five subjects.

Thus, who could be more suitable than Pu Sangzhi, who lived just across the street and ranked first in the city on the middle school exams?

At one in the afternoon, Pu Sangzhi arrived at Lin Qianqian’s home.

Wu Cuidi was extremely polite to her, welcoming her with a smile and inviting her into the house with great hospitality.

"Qianqian, Sister Sangzhi is here. Hurry up, clear off the table, we need to start the review!" Wu Cuidi called out to Lin Qianqian who was still lying in bed playing with her phone, but Lin Qianqian did not move or respond, which made Wu Cuidi anxious, "Get up quickly! Don’t make people wait, hurry!"

After nagging several times, Lin Qianqian finally stood up from the bed grudgingly, with a sour face, and flung her backpack towards the desk.

Lin Qianqian’s impoliteness was no surprise to Wu Cuidi, but she still apologized to Pu Sangzhi, "The kid’s temper is just like that, Sangzhi, please bear with her."

Pu Sangzhi smiled, "No problem."

Afterwards, Wu Cuidi warned Lin Qianqian a few more times before leaving the room uneasily.

Once the door closed, the only ones left in the confined space were Pu Sangzhi and Lin Qianqian, facing each other.

The atmosphere, naturally, was far from pleasant.

Because Lin Qianqian detested Pu Sangzhi, she couldn’t muster any hospitality nor a pleasant expression for Pu Sangzhi.

"Hello."

Pu Sangzhi took the initiative to greet her, walking over and slowly sitting down on the carpet.

A small circular desk was placed in front of them, covered with a stack of comic books and not a single textbook.

Pu Sangzhi stared at the comic books and said, "Let’s move these aside and start reviewing." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Lin Qianqian kept her head down, playing with her phone, ignoring Pu Sangzhi’s words, disregarding her completely.

And so, a standoff ensued for a minute.

The smile on Pu Sangzhi’s face stiffened, and she had no choice but to reach out and start moving the comic books herself.

"Dare to touch them and see what happens?"

It was at that moment, with a terrible tone, that Lin Qianqian finally spoke up, and even rolled her eyes at Pu Sangzhi.

Such a terrible temper!

Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath, maintaining a courteous smile on her face, "Please take out your books, let’s begin reviewing."

Lin Qianqian continued to ignore her, still focused on her phone.

And so, another minute of standoff passed.

Eventually, Pu Sangzhi dropped her smile and said seriously, "If you don’t want to review, then I’m going home."

"Hey."

Just as Pu Sangzhi was about to get up, Lin Qianqian spoke unprecedently on her own initiative, "Aren’t you here to make money? Three hours, just stay here and don’t bother me; the money is yours. I won’t interfere with you, and you won’t interfere with me. That’s it."

"That won’t do."

Pu Sangzhi refused directly, "Then have your mother hire someone else."

"I wish she would hire someone else. Who needs your teaching? You’re still a student yourself, what ability do you have to teach anybody... psh."

Fine, I’m going back then."

Pu Sangzhi was infuriated by Lin Qianqian’s utterly disrespectful attitude.

She immediately stood up and turned around, preparing to leave.

But as she took a step forward, she heard Lin Qianqian muttering behind her, "Being number one in the city is no big deal, strutting around like they’re something."

Upon hearing this, Pu Sangzhi finally couldn’t hold back her anger, turned around, and retorted, "Being number one in the city might not be a big deal, it’s just having the capital to be proud. Unlike you, who can only be called a dummy."

"What did you say?"

Lin Qianqian’s anger was also ignited in an instant, her tone sharply rising, "You come to my house to make money, and you dare to insult me?"

"First, I haven’t taken a single penny from your family yet. Second, I am indeed calling you a dummy. Third, how can someone who scored four points in English not be stupid? With dozens of multiple-choice questions, randomly guessing should get you more than just four, right?"

Pu Sangzhi crossed her arms over her chest, "Besides, I’ll tell you the truth, I came for the money. Otherwise, I’ve always disliked dummies, and I really wouldn’t want to have anything to do with you."

"You... you’re actually..." so honest!

For a moment, Lin Qianqian was so blocked by Pu Sangzhi’s candid words she didn’t know how to respond.

Damn... This School Tyrant is way too arrogant!

A mere bookworm dares to challenge the School Tyrant?

"For bad students like you, at best, you scrape together 200 points in the middle school exams and prepare to go to vocational high school. After graduating from vocational high school, you find a job in a small company with a technical diploma. Your monthly salary, at best, is 4000, with no social security, no vacation, just toiling through the days. Moreover, most of your classmates will be workers, without much future. Of course, there are those who make a name for themselves, but you’re not guaranteed to be able to suck up to them,"

Pu Sangzhi relentlessly criticized Lin Qianqian, giving examples, "As for a good student like me, graduating from a prestigious university, the diploma is as good as gold. Straight out of university, I’ll enter a large company, bonuses uncapped, plus full insurance and benefits. Most importantly, my classmates are graduates from prestigious institutions as well, with layers of mutual interests, and many of them are leading figures in various circles. You can’t see it now, but in ten years, you will realize the gap between you and me is like heaven and earth!"

"You... what do you mean by that! You’re looking down on me!"

Lin Qianqian should have argued with the self-satisfied Pu Sangzhi.

However, she found, to her amazement, that she didn’t know how to refute Pu Sangzhi’s theory!

"It’s contempt."

Pu Sangzhi lifted her chin slightly, "Bad students, it’s not just the grades that are poor, but also the attitude towards life. This attitude ensures you’ll never be successful. Unless one day, you realize for yourself that you need to study. But even then, you might not study seriously because you lack the attitude! It’s your character!"

"Are you, are you lecturing me now?"

Lin Qianqian couldn’t believe that this bookworm could be so outspoken!

In just a few sentences... she actually couldn’t find words to retaliate!

Pu Sangzhi sniffed with a laugh, "You probably can’t comprehend. ’Our paths diverge, no shared plans,’ goodbye."

Having said that, Pu Sangzhi turned around and left the room.

Actually, Pu Sangzhi had been holding back those words for quite some time, eager to use them to accuse Huo Feng.

But since Huo Feng was the School Tyrant after all, she was still scared of him, so she couldn’t speak out.

After speaking out, Pu Sangzhi felt exhilarated.

Because she had persuaded herself once more... not to associate with bad students!

Huo Feng, Lin Qianqian... students who squander their potential and don’t align with her values!

...

After Pu Sangzhi left, Lin Qianqian was left stewing with anger.

Fuming, she picked up her phone and immediately began to vent in a WeChat group with her friends!

Lin Qianqian posted:

’Guess what just happened to me!’

’I was actually lectured by someone?’

’That bookworm who was number one in the city exams right across from my house actually called me a dummy! (angry emoji)’

’My mom is so stupid too! To actually let someone like that tutor me! So arrogant just because she has good grades!’

Lin Qianqian sent a burst of 20 WeChat messages furiously cursing Pu Sangzhi!

She thought her friends would all side with her, help her scold Pu Sangzhi, or even band together to beat Pu Sangzhi up!

Who would’ve thought, just one minute later...

In this rowdy group of over 80 people, more than a dozen were tagging @The Only One.
