"Suzu ......"

The class bell rang.

The head teacher, Zhao Hua, walked slowly into the classroom with the bell.

Zhao Hua is the deputy director in charge of academics at the High School Affiliated to the Academy of Arts, and he is also the current class teacher with the largest grade and the most seniority, but he still insists on leading the class in person.

He was already over half a hundred years old, with gray hair and a long beard, and his steps were still steady. Standing on the podium, after seeing that Chen Tao and Chu Lei, the two treasures, were already sitting in their positions, he stroked his beard with satisfaction. The wrinkled face bloomed into a brilliant flower.

Chen Tao is good at playing piano, pipa, guzheng and other musical instruments, and has won many cups in major instrumental music competitions in Dizhou. Chu Lei has studied vocal music and dance for many years, and has also won many awards in various singing and dancing competitions in Dizhou.

Both of them have won a lot of glory for the High School Attached to the Imperial Academy of Arts. The most rare thing is that these two not only have a solid foundation in art, but even their grades in cultural classes are at the top of the grade.

Recalling that three years ago, Chen Tao had a car accident on the day of the end of the intermediate unified examination. Although the rescue was timely and the operation was quite smooth, for some reason, the progress of Chen Tao's postoperative physical recovery was very slow.

A month after the car accident, the results of the intermediate upgrade unified examination were announced, and Chen Tao's results ranked among the top in the whole emperor.

At that time, many colleges wanted to recruit him, but after learning about his physical recovery after surgery, they all dismissed this idea. After all, no one knew how long it would take Chen Tao to recover and be discharged from the hospital. Even if Chen Tao is discharged from the hospital, no one can guarantee his potential in the future.

Only Zhao Hua, after the release of the intermediate unified examination, personally went to visit the hospital where Chen Tao lived, and met his proud protégé more than 20 years ago, Chen Tao's father Chen Hong. At that time, Chen Hong was already a professor in the Department of Chinese Musical Instruments at the Academy of Arts.

On that day, Zhao Hua chatted with Chen Hong for a long time, and only left after understanding Chen Tao's recovery clearly.

Then the next day, Chen Tao's file was successfully transferred to the senior department of the middle school attached to the Dijing Academy of Arts, and arranged in the key class led by Zhao Hua.

Even after that, Chen Tao was suspended from school for half a year due to physical reasons. But Zhao Hua resisted all the pressure and insisted on reserving a place in the key class for Chen Tao. After half a year, Chen Tao recovered and was discharged from the hospital and returned to school, and began to lead the ranking of the whole grade, until now.

Chu Lei was a surprise. Originally, with the results of the intermediate entrance examination, Chu Lei should not have been arranged into a key class. But after Chu Lei learned that Chen Tao was arranged by Zhao Hua in the key class, in order to be able to enter the key class and be in the same class as Chen Tao, he tossed hard and hard behind Zhao Hua's buttocks every day for more than half a month. In the end, he also wrote a letter of guarantee to Zhao Hua, promising that he would enter the top ten of the whole grade in every exam in the future. If he can't, he automatically changes shifts.

When Zhao Hua took Chu Lei's guarantee letter and saw the tenacity in the eyes of this young and resolute young man, he finally nodded and added a position to Chu Lei in the key class.

In just one month, his results rose from the middle of the grade to the top ten in the grade, and then occupied the first position in the grade for half a year. It wasn't until Chen Tao returned to school that Chu Lei ranked second in the grade for many years with the second grade after Chen Tao.

Zhao Hua pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, squinted and saw the drinks and snacks on Chen Tao and Chu Lei's table quite clearly. But what's wrong with that?

Although he is old, his hair is gray, and his eyes are not as good as before, his mentality is quite trendy when he gets along with and learns with this group of young teenagers! On the premise of not violating the general principles, the rules and regulations can be changed.

After Zhao Hua greeted the whole class kindly, he switched the content on the screen in the classroom to his own lesson plan and began to lecture for the students.

Chen Tao and Chu Lei have great respect for Mr. Zhao. Although they knew in their hearts that Zhao Hua was very partial to him, they were even more grateful for Zhao Hua's love and help to them before. Seeing Zhao Hua walk up to the podium, they quickly cleaned up the clutter on the table, took out the study recorder, and sat up straight to listen to the lecture carefully.

Soon, the time for a lesson has passed. The bell rang for the end of class, and it was time for recess. Zhao Hua put away the lesson plan and said with a smile: "Chen Tao and Chu Lei, you go to my office between classes." ”

As the vice minister, Zhao Hua arranged an independent office for him. But he asked that a desk be reserved for him in the large office where the class teachers worked together. Because he felt that it would be easier for him to communicate more with other class teachers, especially the younger class teachers. This is more conducive to him to understand the mentality of the children at the moment and help him communicate with the students.

When Chen Tao and Chu Lei followed Zhao Hua into the big office, many teachers had just returned to the office after class.

Chen Tao was as humble and polite as ever, smiling and greeting the teachers. Chu Lei still had a blank face, and only nodded to the other teachers to say hello.

Zhao Hua walked to his desk, and as soon as he picked up the cup, Chen Tao immediately stepped forward and brought a hot water kettle and poured it for him.

Chu Lei unceremoniously moved two benches and placed them next to Zhao Hua's desk.

Zhao Hua smiled and beckoned him to sit down, sat down himself, took a sip of water, pointed to Chen Tao's hand with a band-aid, and asked, "Why did your hand hurt?"

Chen Tao raised his hand and flexibly moved his fingers to reply, "It's okay." I accidentally bumped myself on. Cutaneous trauma. Two days is fine. Don't worry. ”

"You have to be careful to protect your hands. It's not good to play the piano hand and get hurt all the time. Zhao Hua frowned slightly, put the cup on the table, and continued: "There are three months left before the high-level entrance examination." The academy should have approached you and talked about escorting, right?"

Chen Tao and Chu Lei both nodded slightly.

"What do you think?" Zhao Hua asked directly. There was limited time between classes, and he didn't want to talk too long, so as not to delay the two children's lessons.

Chu Lei glanced at Chen Tao and bowed his head silently.

Chen Tao didn't answer this question directly, but asked with a smile: "Teacher Zhao, do you continue to lead the class as a class teacher after you have taken us this year?"

Zhao Hua looked at Chen Tao in surprise, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be brought." After all, I'm still old, and it's time to retire. ”

"Mr. Zhao, when you walked back to the office, you were walking like a fly! Chu Lei and I almost couldn't keep up with you! Say you're old? We don't recognize you!" Chen Tao quipped, his eyes fell on the photo frame on Zhao Hua's desk.

In the photo, Zhao Hua is holding a small doll carved in pink, and his smiling face is full of love.

Chen Tao pointed to the photo and said, "But it's time for you to put down your burden, spend more time with your little granddaughter, and enjoy the joy of family." When I was young, my father was very busy with work and rarely had time to spend with ......me," he said, and the look in his eyes darkened.

Chu Lei pursed his lips and patted Chen Tao on the shoulder.

Zhao Hua sighed lightly and said gently, "Your father was also my student. His results are very good. You're a lot like him. ”

"Well, I've heard my father talk about you a lot. You are his most respected teacher. Chen Tao looked at Zhao Hua and said seriously.

"Haha, he's also my proudest student. Zhao Hua smiled so much that his wrinkles were stretched, squinted slightly and looked out the window, and recalled: "He was also one of the college's escort students back then. But he didn't accept the college's invitation to be sent, and chose to participate in the high-level promotion unified examination, and he also took the 189th place in the whole imperial continent ranking. This is the best result in the unified examination of our affiliated middle school in the past years. ”

Most of the students in the high school attached to the School of Art are art candidates, and they also have to take care of the study of art majors. When the teachers of the culture class of the attached middle school teach, the difficulty of the topics taught will not be too deep. In the usual cultural class exams, the difficulty of the questions is not as difficult as in other colleges.

The Advanced Entrance Examination is an exam in which all those who meet the requirements of the examination can register for the unified difficulty of the test questions.

When millions of candidates are faced with questions of the same difficulty, there are very few art candidates whose scores can rank in the top 500 in the whole empire.

Chen Tao's father was ranked 189th in the whole Imperial Continent that year, which was really a fight for the middle school attached to the Academy of Arts.

Chen Tao looked at the pride on Zhao Hua's face, and couldn't help but feel proud, so he smiled and said: "My father said before that art students' cultural classes can still be very powerful, and they will not be worse than other candidates. We can't relax the cultural class because we need to take care of the study of art majors. On the contrary, after art students enter the society, most of them will take on the responsibility of disseminating art and culture, so we must have a more solid cultural foundation in order to better spread culture and energy to others. ”

Zhao Hua listened, the smile on his face was even bigger, and he slapped the table and said excitedly: "I knew that he didn't choose the college to take the unified examination back then, just to prove to everyone that our art students are not worse than others." And I, until now, still insist on being a class teacher, bringing students one after another, also to let more art students understand this. ”

Chen Tao's eyes stayed on Zhao Hua's gray hair, his eyes became more and more respectful, and he said word by word: "Therefore, I will also participate in the unified examination." ”

Zhao Hua was slightly stunned, and sighed: "Tiger father has no dog! If your ranking is also in the top 200 at that time, you will be recorded in the school history like your father." Both father and son have become role models for our high school, and that will be a good story. ”

Chen Tao shook his head and chuckled, "Entering the top 200 is my father's achievement. When it was my turn, of course, to go further. ”

Zhao Hua looked at Chen Tao in surprise, stroked his long beard and hesitated: "Do you want to be admitted to the top 100 in the whole Emperor Continent?"

Chen Tao still shook his head and said very seriously: "I only take the first exam." ”

Zhao Hua was so shocked that he pulled off a few beards, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, and asked loudly: "What you just said is that you want to be the first in the unified examination of the whole Emperor Continent?"

As soon as Zhao Hua's words fell, the entire large office suddenly showed an eerie silence. Everyone looked at Chen Tao.

The sun shines through the glass window and falls on Chen Tao's young and handsome face. But at this moment, the light in his eyes makes people feel brighter and more dazzling than the sun.

He nodded solemnly and firmly, and said clearly again: "What I want to fight for is the top spot in the unified examination of the whole Emperor Continent." ”

Chen Tao's words were loud and seemed to echo in the air.

An art candidate who vows to compete with millions of candidates for the top spot?

……

Where did he get his confidence?!
