Volume 1: The Twin Towers Chapter 14: Temporary Random Examination
"Beyond me? What a joke! Chu Minghui asked rhetorically as if he had heard the best joke of the century.
As soon as Lu Yao's words came out, the surrounding crowd exploded all of a sudden, and even many people laughed, but the sound was relatively small.
"Isn't it funny? I don't think it's funny at all! Lu Yao said lightly.
"Lu Yao......" Han Dong also pulled Lu Yao's shirt more than once beside him, but now that the matter has come to this field, he doesn't know how to round the field.
"Good! My prodigy Lu, you've been hypocritical for so long, and you've finally shown your true colors, it's really getting more and more interesting! Chu Minghui clapped his hands and said with a gritted smile: "As you said, Lu Yao, if your results really surpass me after the results of this exam come out, I will disappear from your eyes, otherwise, you will immediately get out of Shuangta City with your poor and sour father, roll as far as possible, and never let me see you from now on!" ”
Lu Yao didn't say anything more, and pulled Han Dong towards the crowd.
"Lu Yao, I, Ma Xiaolin, put my words here today, if you can really surpass Minghui, I will kneel down in front of the teachers and students of the whole school and lick your shoes!" Seeing that Lu Yao was so arrogant, Ma Xiaolin didn't pay attention to them at all, and said ruthlessly at Lu Yao's back.
"Idiot!" Lu Yao said lightly.
Han Dong originally wanted to turn around and reason with the other party, but was pulled by Lu Yao and continued to walk forward.
Chu Minghui looked at Lu Yao's back, the corners of his mouth went up, and he smiled very madly.
"Minghui, let's go, let's wait and see tomorrow, wait for Lu Yaoye and the two to get out of the Twin Towers City!" Ma Xiaolin and his gang walked up to Chu Minghui and said.
……
……
After returning home, Lu Yao sat alone by the window in a daze.
Lu Yao was in a daze, not because of his impulsiveness today, but because he said the words that he had suppressed for a long time in his heart today, and there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment in his whole heart.
The forbearance that has been all the time has not made the other party stop, but has intensified, which also makes Lu Yao feel a little like a fish in his throat, and now that he says it all, he feels that his whole heart is indescribably comfortable.
Suddenly, Lu Yao thought of a strange question.
Could this be the so-called Dao Heart?
It seems that many of the episodes in the novel are not made up out of thin air, and cultivators really need to have an open-minded self-heart.
Although chivalrous people have the world in mind, like Yue Fei and Qiao Feng, they regard the suffering of all the people as more important than their own lives, but they also have to leave a good name for themselves.
Suddenly, Lu Yao remembered a sentence said by an ancient sage - the Taoist heart is often the master of one body, and the human heart obeys every order.
In other words, the ancients also believed that the Tao heart rules the human heart.
When a cultivator first embarks on the path of cultivation, there is always a feeling that Heavenly Reason and Human Desire are at war, and the highest level of cultivation that you can reach in the end often depends on whether human desire defeats the Dao Heart, or the Dao Heart defeats human desire.
If human desire defeats the Dao heart, then you can't avoid the vulgar after all, so at most you can only cultivate to a different from ordinary people, but after all, it is the realm of people, and if the Dao heart defeats human desire, it means that you have transcended the world and conformed to the principles of heaven, then your realm will be limitless, and it is not impossible to become an immortal.
Of course, these are all later words, for the current Lu Yao, he can comprehend this meaning, which is already precious.
"It seems that I have to thank Chu Minghui, if it weren't for his aggressiveness, I wouldn't have realized this truth, if I cultivate in the future, do I want to give him a big red envelope!" After figuring out these things, Lu Yao joked with his mischievous self.
The night went by quickly.
After figuring out these things, Lu Yao could be said to have slept the sweetest night after the operation.
Early the next morning, Lu Yao came to the courtyard to practice boxing refreshed.
After practicing for more than an hour, he saw that the sun was gradually showing his head, so he went into the house to wash up and walk towards the school.
……
……
Yesterday, the bet between Chu Minghui and Lu Yao is now known to everyone, not to mention the teachers and students on campus, and even some small merchants and vendors nearby are talking there.
Lu Yao walked on campus, and every classmate took the initiative to give way when they saw him, and they didn't know whether they were afraid of getting into trouble, or whether they were welcoming the return of the former king.
Until they came to their seats and sat down, everyone's reaction was exactly the same.
However, there is one exception.
"It's coming!"
"Hmm!"
Lin Jiayi's face, which was as ancient as a 10,000-year-old glacier, showed a smile, and took the initiative to greet Lu Yao for the first time.
Lu Yao also replied with a friendly smile.
Although after that, Lin Jiayi still buried her head in hard reading and didn't look at Lu Yao again, but it was this glance that made Lu Yao feel flattered, and there was a ripple in her originally calm heart.
Chu Minghui is a special car every day, so he came earlier than Lu Yao, seeing this scene just now, he couldn't help but laugh secretly: Lu Yao, Lu Yao, I see that you can still laugh after today's results come out, if you don't let you get out of Shuangta City, I won't call Chu Minghui!
"Lu Yao, come out with me, the principal will look for you." Not long after Lu Yao sat down, Director Li, who was in the third year of high school, came to the door and waved at Lu Yao.
After Lu Yao finished packing up his things, he got up and walked towards the principal's office with Director Li.
……
……
"Lu Yao, sit down first!" As soon as Lu Yao entered the principal's office, Principal Hu politely beckoned him to sit on an empty chair at the door.
Although Principal Hu is usually very kind to people, it is the first time that he has greeted a student to sit down so politely.
Lu Yao knew that this also confirmed some of his conjectures from another aspect - his ranking in this exam was definitely not low.
Lu Yao didn't speak, and after sitting down, he looked at the entire office.
In addition to the homeroom teacher Yang Linchi, the English teacher Liu Taibin, the grade director Li and Principal Hu, there were two middle-aged people who Lu Yao had never seen before, sitting at the desk that originally belonged to Principal Hu.
One of them, a slightly younger middle-aged man, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a well-cut ordinary work suit, sat in the main seat.
When Lu Yao first entered the office, he briefly put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at Lu Yao.
The other one was a little older and sat next to the main seat, a little bald on the top of his head, and the clothes he was wearing did not have a tag, and he didn't know what brand it was.
The watch on his wrist was exposed from time to time with his movements, and the small diamonds inlaid around the frame were very dazzling, although Lu Yao usually had no concept of the watch, but he could also see that this watch was extraordinary, I am afraid that it was more than tens of thousands.
But apparently he is not the protagonist of this room, and he has always been respectful to the middle-aged man on the throne next to him.
"Lu Yao, let me introduce to you, this one is Director Yin of the Admissions Office of our Xinlu Provincial Department of Education, and next to him is Director Chu of our Shuangta City Education Bureau!" Principal Hu introduced the origins of the two to Lu Yao.
"Hello Director Yin, hello Director Chu!" Lu Yao also stood up politely and greeted the other party.
"Sit down, young man!" Director Yin waved his hand and motioned for Lu Yao to sit down and speak.
With Lu Yao's observation and inference, he felt that this Director Yin should be good.
But this Director Chu, from the first moment he entered the office, he didn't look at himself directly, and all his thoughts were on Director Yin.
Director Chu, isn't that Chu Minghui's father!
It seems that the person who came was not good.
"Let's get started, Principal Hu!" Director Chu said.
"Okay, Director Chu!" After Principal Hu answered, he said to Lu Yao. "Lu Yao, I called you this time, I want to ask you something, in front of the two leaders, you have to answer every question I have truthfully!"
Lu Yao nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Did you use some dishonorable means in this exam, such as plagiarism?" Principal Hu asked.
"Nope!"
"Some people say that you plagiarized Lin Jiayi's test papers, but is there such a thing?"
"Nope!"
Principal Hu asked and answered questions with Lu Yao in this way.
Suddenly, Liu Taibin, who was sitting in the corner, stood up and pointed at Lu Yao and said, "He is talking nonsense!" ”
"Oh? Does this teacher have anything to say? Director Yin heard that the question was interrupted, and looked at Liu Taibin, who was standing up.
"Director Yin, Director Chu, I am Lu Yao's English teacher, my name is Liu Taibin, and I am also Lu Yao's invigilator for Chinese and mathematics on the first day." Liu Taibin immediately put on a smiling face, and said with a smile to the two leaders: "I have taught Lu Yao for almost three years, except for the first year, Lu Yao's results in the other two years can be described as being in the same as Japanese dramas, and now it is difficult to even enter the top 20 in the class, let alone the top three in the city!" ”
"Really, Principal Hu?" After listening to Liu Taibin's words, Director Yin asked Principal Hu.
"Some situations are indeed the same as what Mr. Liu said, Lu Yao's grades have declined in the past two years, but when he entered our first high school in Shuangta City, he came in as the first place in the city with a close to full score, so ......" Principal Hu truthfully reported Lu Yao's situation to the two leaders.
This is also the fairness of President Hu, he will not deny Lu Yao's past excellence because of Lu Yao's declining grades in the past two years, nor will he blindly protect Lu Yao because of his former excellence.
"Is that the case, Mr. Liu?" Director Yin was completely unclear about Lu Yao's situation, so he kept asking.
"There is such a thing, but after all, it is the time of the high school entrance examination, and I can't get it to talk about it now!" Liu Taibin argued.
"Then Mr. Liu, do you have any evidence?" Director Yin asked.
"This ......"
"Director Yin, you see, it's like this, the dog happens to be in Lu Yao's class, and this time he also got a good score of fourth place, and he also told me about Lu Yao's situation on weekdays, I remember that he said that Lu Yao's academic performance in the past two years has indeed regressed very fast as Teacher Liu said, and this time the holiday homework was not completed on time." Director Chu, who had been sitting there without speaking, looked at Liu Taibin and said to Director Yin suddenly.
"Yes, then I want to congratulate Director Chu here, I have such a powerful son!" Director Yin said politely to Director Chu.
"That's it, that's it, he didn't turn in his holiday homework on time this time, and in the end, I asked Chu Minghui to supervise it, and he completed it!" Hearing Director Chu speak, Liu Taibin hurriedly agreed.
This time, Director Yin, as the leader of the Admissions Office of the Xinlu Provincial Department of Education, came to inspect Lin Jiayi, Dong Xiao and Lu Yao, who were all the top three in this preliminary examination and were about to be awarded guaranteed places.
But just this morning, after Director Chu of the Shuangta City Education Bureau reported to him that someone was cheating, he decided to temporarily convene a few of the most powerful people to come to a three-class trial.
But now, there are different opinions, and he doesn't know how to decide.
"Director Yin, look, how about a temporary random test for Lu Yao?" In the end, it was the head teacher Yang Linchi who came up with a more compromise solution.
"Random exams?" Liu Taibin exclaimed.
"Temporary random test!" Principal Hu touched his chin and said.
Several people reacted completely differently,
Director Yin pondered for a while and said, "It's okay, just do what this teacher says, so that the guaranteed quota will not fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives, do you say yes, Director Chu?" ”
"Ah, yes, yes, Director Yin said yes."
"What about you, classmate Lu Yao?"
"No problem!"
