Chapter 192 Are you and Teacher Xiao dating?
Lu An began his sprint preparation for the exam.
It has to be said that Concubine Xiao Shufei is a very capable and responsible teacher. She took Lu An to the study room for extra lessons, and then Concubine Xiao Shufei's stern voice could be heard in the study room.
"You can't understand this question based on the surface. It's a logic question. You should try to deduce it from the opposite direction."
"Although there is no absolutely correct answer to this kind of administrative test question, you also need to understand the situation of the person who wrote the question by combining the ideas of the previous and next questions."
"Writing is not like what you do in college or the provincial disciplinary committee. It is more stringent in terms of structure, so you need to abandon all your daily word usage habits..."
After the first day of tutoring, Lu An was very convinced and understood why she was qualified to be selected to attend the Yenching Cadre School.
Not only could she pinpoint the problem when solving the questions, but at the end, Concubine Xiao Shufei even bluntly said that Lu An's foundation was too poor. He could not even compare with the secretaries-general of top departments like Bai Zhanting and Zheng Yuanfeng, or even the directors of departments selected from all over the country.
"I'll bring you a few test papers tomorrow. I'll re-evaluate your overall ability and then arrange for you. Otherwise, this kind of remedial class won't be very meaningful to you. We'll stop here today."
After this sentence, today's make-up class came to an end.
Lu An first sent Xiao Shufei back to the dormitory. Downstairs, Lu An asked directly, "Am I really that bad?"
Xiao Shufei was silent for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "You have done very well. You must not compare yourself with Bai Zhanting and Zheng Yuanfeng. They have all worked for more than 20 years in top departments such as the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. It would be abnormal if you were better than them right after you came in."
Concubine Xiao Shu also advised Lu An not to think too much. She assured Lu An: "I will definitely tailor a plan for you, and I guarantee that you will have significant improvement in your grades in a short period of time!"
Concubine Xiao Shu finally encouraged Lu An: "Don't give up secretly, don't forget what we promised!"
After watching Concubine Xiao Shufei walk into the dormitory, Lu An turned around and went back to his own dormitory building.
Then he was caught red-handed by Niu Jun.
Niu Jun grabbed Lu An and interrogated him with a ferocious look on his face like a military spy: "Tell me! What were you doing back so late? Were you dating some pretty girl?"
Lu An rolled his eyes at Niu Jun and told him unhappily that he was studying in the study room.
But Niu Jun refused to give in: "Don't play dumb here, I know everything!"
"What do you know?" Lu An asked.
"Of course it's about your date with Teacher Xiao! It's spreading throughout the dormitory!" said Niu Jun.
Lu An stood up in a flash, grabbed Niu Jun by the collar and yelled, "Who is talking nonsense? Teacher Xiao is tutoring me tonight. What the hell is this date? Who has a date in the classroom?"
Niu Jun was startled by Lu An's stern look. He stammered that he didn't know the details, but he only knew that the rumor in the dormitory was that the teacher and student of Class 167 were seen dating.
Lu An let go of his hand.
He probably understood that someone was behind the scenes.
Niu Jun asked cautiously: "Are you really not dating Teacher Xiao?"
Lu An shook his head: "Of course not, Teacher Xiao is just helping me with my homework. After all, you know that my grades are not good."
Niu Jun was furious: "Isn't this spreading rumors about you and Teacher Xiao? Who is so wicked?"
Lu An laughed and shrugged indifferently: "Who else could it be? Those who hope that I will get the lowest score in the exam?"
Niu Jun's eyes widened immediately: "You mean classmate Bai and classmate Zheng?"
"That's impossible. They are people of that status after all. How could they do such a disgusting thing?"
Lu An said that no one would know: "Maybe they themselves don't bother to do such a small trick behind the scenes, but it doesn't mean that other people don't have this idea. After all, I have been the public enemy of the class since I entered the class, right?"
Niu Jun was speechless now. Indeed, the scene of their first day in the classroom and the collective forcing Lu An to drop out of school was still vivid in his mind.
That also doesn't seem like something Bai Zhanting and Zheng Yuanfeng would do in their identities.
Finally, Niu Jun sighed heavily, patted Lu An on the shoulder and consoled him: "It's okay, at least I'm here to support you!"
Although Niu Jun's guidance was very effective, Lu An's heavy heart did not ease at all. After Niu Jun went back, he even called Concubine Xiao Shufei and told her to suspend the tutoring for the time being.
Concubine Xiao Shufei was unhappy, and she took Lu An out of his self-study class early the next morning.
"What did you mean by your phone call yesterday? Didn't we agree to give you a make-up class? Why did you give up first? Is there something wrong with my approach or what?"
"Do you know that I spent the whole night looking for questions for you yesterday, and you called me to tell me that you would not give me extra lessons?"
Concubine Xiao Shufei's pair of almond-shaped eyes were filled with anger, as if to say, 'If you don't give me an explanation, I will never let you go.'
Lu An felt warm in his heart as he watched Concubine Xiao Shu take out a thick stack of test papers from her briefcase and slap them on himself.
Lu An gently comforted Concubine Xiao Shufei and told her that he was not going to quit, but something unexpected happened: "Someone spread rumors that we were dating under the guise of tutoring."
Lu An then told Concubine Xiao Shufei everything that happened after he returned to the dormitory yesterday.
After hearing this, Concubine Xiao Shu became anxious: "Who on earth is spreading such things behind your back? How can they be so wicked?"
"But I haven't had time to find a way to improve your grades yet, Lu An. What will you do if I just give up on your grades?"
"Why don't we continue with our tutoring? We are upright and have nothing to fear. Whoever wants to pass the ball can do so!"
Lu An asked Concubine Xiao to calm down and explained that they might as well take a break and see how the situation develops.
"After all, if there really is someone behind this, they certainly wouldn't just resort to spreading rumors!"
Just kidding, the cadre school is not an ordinary school, and the students in Class 167 are not really ordinary students. They are all old villains who have emerged from the intrigues and fighting in the officialdom.
Once these people take action, is it possible that spreading rumors is the only means they can use?
"If I'm not mistaken, the news must have reached the school leaders. They will most likely come to see you today. By then, we won't be able to end this!"
Lu An was silent for a moment and finally said, "And Teacher Xiao, you are a female comrade, and we are teachers and students. Although this is a cadre school, in theory we are all adults who are responsible for ourselves."
"But our identities are destined. Once this rumor spreads, it will cause great harm to you, Teacher Xiao!"
“So we just have to stop for now.”
