Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1265 - 833: As Expected

It’s the last day of the month, let’s get it written quickly so we can update early, almost two Chapters done.

------------------------------------------------------

The first class in the afternoon was Elder Yuan’s. Watching him carry a thick stack of papers, everyone unconsciously sat up straight. Ever since the exam, everyone had been looking forward to this day.

Even though we’re no longer primary or secondary school students, after being away from school for many years, sitting here again, we feel much like those younger students—afraid of exams, yet eager for the results. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

No matter if one did well or poorly, there’s always a shred of hope that maybe others didn’t do well either. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, and being ahead is all that matters...

Everyone’s expressions fell into Elder Yuan’s eyes, and a faint smile crept up his lips. As a teacher, what he loves the most is a student’s seriousness, whether it be a primary school student or a university student.

"This assessment was quite sudden, so..." he paused, selling a bit of suspense, and continued, "Although the scores aren’t particularly ideal, considering the circumstances, I’m quite satisfied with your performances.

I believe that as long as you maintain your enthusiasm for learning, by the time you graduate, you will all become the most qualified graduates. Keep up this enthusiasm, and one day, you will all succeed!"

"Clap, clap, clap..."

The enthusiastic applause was both a thank you for Elder Yuan’s encouragement and a vent for their own surging emotions.

Elder Yuan pressed his hand down slightly and said, "You’re all university students now, and technically speaking, you shouldn’t need this, but your generation of university students is different. So now, those I call, please come up and collect your papers.

I hope this method will motivate those who didn’t perform well to work harder and remind those who did well not to slack off and to continue maintaining this honor. Li Tao..."

The name called out by Elder Yuan belonged to a dark and thin man in his mid-twenties, who stood up eagerly and walked towards the podium. As he approached, Elder Yuan smiled at him, "You scored 28 points this time, you need to put in more effort."

Li Tao’s cheeks instantly flushed with redness. He awkwardly replied "yes" and took the paper, giving a hasty bow, then almost jogged back to his seat with his head down.

Evidently, this was the last place.

This made everyone’s hearts tighten, all hoping their names would be the last to be called.

"Wang Xiaohua 32 points, Li Aiguo 33 points, Li Chong 33 points, Zhao Haitao 34 points..., Lin Qiang 65 points, Xue Jiamei 65.5 points..., Qian Xiaoyu 71 points..."

With the papers being distributed to this point, 6/5 of the class had already been named, making those who hadn’t been called yet even more anxious. Seeing their chances draw nearer, who wouldn’t want to be at the top of the pyramid?

"...Li Xinlou 82 points..."

The Squad Leader’s face immediately turned pale. He always confidently thought that if he wasn’t first, he would at least be in the top three. But there were still seven or eight students who hadn’t been called, so why was it his turn?

Somewhat distracted, his actions slowed down, so Elder Yuan had to call the name again.

Li Xinlou hurriedly stood up, face stiff, and slowly approached to take the paper from Elder Yuan, not even greeting him before returning.

Elder Yuan shook his head quietly. This student’s age is apparent, but his mental resilience is too weak.

Though exam scores are important, they are not everything. If he can’t handle this little setback, how will he manage in the workplace in the future?

Suppressing his thoughts, Elder Yuan continued to call the names in order: Li Xinli, Yang Xiaoli, Lin Mengye, Lin Mengran, Wu Jingbo, Zuo Jiang, Lin Chuxia.

Lin Mengye scored only 0.5 points less than Lin Mengran, but this mere 0.5 points made her face turn very sour. In her opinion, Lin Mengran should never outperform her. Since childhood, her sister never had any opportunity to surpass her in anything, so how could this happen this time?!

With this in mind, her first thought upon taking the paper back was to verify their scores to see if there was any mistake in the score sheets later on. As for how to verify, it would definitely be through provocation.

She believed that with Lin Mengran’s personality, as long as she taunted her, she’d definitely hand over the paper for validation. Hmph, she couldn’t believe she wouldn’t find any mistake on her sister’s paper.

However, just as this thought lingered in her mind, Lin Chuxia’s name was announced as the last, with a score of 97 points, followed closely by Zuo Jiang with 95 points.

This result was more unacceptable to her than Lin Mengran surpassing her by 0.5 points.
