Chapter 73: Very Talented
After a pause, Li Xiao frowned and continued, “I believe you have just seen Mo Zhu’s total score and her grades in various subjects. The fact that she can study physics so thoroughly proves that the child is really talented.”
“Besides that, I’ve already studied her Mathematics paper carefully. Her 12 marks came from completing the two multiple choice questions correctly, and she was the only one in the entire third year cohort who chose the correct answer for the last multiple choice question.”
Li Xiao’s words were not said without any evidence. Ever since Mo Zhu was recruited into the physics group by Duan Xu as an exception, he had been quietly paying attention to this new student who was usually not very outstanding.
When the physics results were out this time, the entire Year Three cohort knew that someone in Class Eight had gotten a perfect score. Mo Zhu’s physics papers were even handed over to be checked by the teachers of the physics group.
Many of Mo Zhu’s solution to the questions could not even be thought of by professional teachers who had graduated from elite schools. After hearing this news, Li Xiao was extremely excited. He could almost conclude that the girl was the rising star of Class Eight.
With this thought in mind, he carefully observed the exam papers for the other subjects of Mo Zhu’s. This strengthened Li Xiao’s belief.
Many of the questions that the straight As student of Class One could not solve were the questions that Mo Zhu had solved for the entire paper. From the looks of it, it was not that the girl did not know how to do the questions, but she might just be lacking an adequate guide and opportunity.
Chen Man heard Li Xiao’s words and picked up Mo Zhu’s report card. She asked curiously, “So Teacher Li, are you saying that my Xiao Zhu is actually very talented in her academics?”
Li Xiao pursed his lips and nodded, looking worried. He replied sincerely, “I hope you can have a heart-to-heart talk with Mo Zhu when you get home. As long as the child wants to study and has a positive attitude towards her results, I dare say that there won’t be any problems for Mo Zhu to get into Beijing University!”
Li Xiao shook his head. He did not care if Chen Man understood what he meant. He turned around and walked back to the podium.
There were some things that should be stopped when enough was said. As a teacher, this was all he could hint at.
Hearing Li Xiao’s words, Chen Man was also shocked. Did she hear it wrong? Xiao Zhu’s form teacher actually said that she had the ability to get into Beijing University! After all, Beijing University was one of the top universities in the country. It was an academic entity that countless people dreamed of!
Before she came, Chen Man had wanted to discuss with Huo Tao about finding a teacher for Mo Zhu. She didn’t expect her daughter-in-law to be thought so highly of by the form teacher!
Chen Man secretly made up her mind. She decided that she would definitely talk to Mo Zhu about her results when she got home. The daughter-in-law of the Huo family could not be worse than others!
After keeping Mo Zhu’s test papers and result slip into the drawer of the table, Chen Man immediately sent a message to Huo Xuan.
“Xuan’er! The task of guiding Xiao Zhu’s grades is imminent, so I will pass this important task to you. I believe you will not let everyone down!”
After putting her phone into her bag, Chen Man left the classroom with a smile on her face.
Mo Zhu had no classes on Saturday and Huo Xuan didn’t have to go to the office to work overtime. Apart from eating, the two of them sat on the sofa in the living room harmoniously with each other busying themselves with their laptops.
Mo Zhu was busy gathering information about the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb, and Huo Xuan was having a video call with Xu Huan to advise him on the major international business the Xu family had recently negotiated.
When Huo Xuan received Chen Man’s message, Xu Huan happened to have a meeting to attend. Thus, the two of them briefly discussed the details before hanging up.
Huo Xuan picked up his phone to look at the contents of the message before leaning back lazily on the sofa. “Xiao Zhu, your mother-in-law wants me to supervise your studies and guide you in solving questions to improve your exam results.”
Mo Zhu, who was sitting opposite the man, busy in her research, raised her eyebrows slightly and replied, “Improve my results? My results can’t be improved so casually.”
“Yes, but since my mother has asked for it personally, it’s not good for me to reject her. Hence, from today onwards, I’ve decided to teach you how to do exercises for two hours a day. How’s that?”
Huo Xuan’s expression darkened. When he thought about how he could use this opportunity to understand Mo Zhu a little better and cultivate their relationship, he couldn’t wait to start guiding this fiancée of his immediately.
Mo Zhu was rather speechless when she heard Huo Xuan’s words. Her movements on her laptop didn’t stop, and it was only after a long while that she finally had the time to look up at the man. “Has your business been bad recently? Do you want me to find something for you to do?”
Huo Xuan changed his posture and leaned against the sofa. He opened his mouth and smiled lightly. “Compared to the Huo family’s business, I’m more worried about whether you can enter university. In order for you to attend a good school, I can still sacrifice this little time.”
“I’m not interested in solving questions. Also, don’t call me that. I’m not used to it…”
Mo Zhu replied calmly with a hint of unnaturalness.
“It doesn’t matter whether you’re interested or not. It’s settled then. Instead of having to choose a day, why not let’s start today. The tuition starts tonight!”
