Chapter 336: Chapter 336: The Origin of the Talented Woman
The class teacher did have an appointment, but it was with a student’s parent.
In her class, there was a talented girl named Jiang Wei, whose father was the vice chairman of the Writers’ Association and held a high position in the literary world.
It was Jiang Wei’s mother who invited the class teacher to dinner.
They arranged to meet at a secluded clubhouse, where they could also get a spa treatment after the meal.
"...Jiang Wei doesn’t need to take the direct overseas study route, but she will apply for independent admission to the Chinese Literature College of S University," Jiang Wei’s mother said softly. "Her essays are always her advantage during the interviews.
Every time Jiang Wei takes an exam, her Chinese composition is nearly perfect, thanks to Teacher Chen’s care. I toast to you!"
Essays are different from other subjects.
Every teacher can grade students based on their own preferences.
Since ancient times, there has never been a top essay, because there is no specific evaluation standard. As long as the ideas are clear and the language is smooth, others cannot find major faults.
The reputation of Jiang Wei as a talented student was earned partly through her participation in various poetry and essay competitions, and partly due to the meticulous "cultivation" by the class teacher.
The class teacher raised her glass and smiled, "Jiang Wei is talented, I merely teach according to her ability."
Jiang Wei’s mother’s next remarks were very subtle.
She still hinted to the class teacher that Jiang Wei’s composition should get full marks in the upcoming final exam.
This would be beneficial for Jiang Wei’s independent admission to S University.
Given Jiang Wei’s grades, her chances of getting into S University were slim, so her family focused on the independent admission route.
Jiang Wei’s father had two classmates who were professors in the Chinese Department of S University and had already paved the way internally, making the interview a breeze, and the written exam wouldn’t be too difficult either.
What she needed the most was a good "track record."
Every Chinese exam, with nearly perfect composition scores and excellent overall Chinese grades, would be persuasive.
"Don’t worry, I won’t let a gem like her go unnoticed," the class teacher said with a smile.
Jiang Wei’s mother was overjoyed.
She raised the corners of her lips, praising the class teacher as a talent scout, and complimented her on her well-maintained appearance and tasteful attire.
"Your handbag is really nice," Jiang Wei’s mother remarked with a smile. "Can you give it to me?"
For ordinary people, such a request would be quite abrupt.
But the class teacher had dealt with Jiang Wei’s family many times and knew the inside story.
She had purposely brought a cheap handbag worth about two hundred dollars today.
"What’s the big deal? If you like it, take it," the class teacher said generously.
She took her belongings out of the bag.
Jiang Wei’s mother was indeed delighted and said with a smile, "You have so many things; it’s inconvenient to carry them. Use my bag."
The two of them exchanged bags on the spot.
No one would notice a single flaw, and they weren’t afraid of scrutiny from the education bureau.
After their meal and spa treatment, they went home.
The class teacher took a closer look at Jiang Wei’s mother’s handbag, noting that the tag was still attached. It was the latest luxury brand bag, worth around thirty thousand.
Among her students, many came from wealthy families, so receiving a thirty-thousand-dollar handbag was no big deal for the class teacher.
Child’s play.
The reason she valued Jiang Wei so much was because of her father’s background.
The class teacher also graduated from the Chinese Department and had always had a literary dream. She wrote a novel and self-published it, but it barely sold any copies.
Later, with Jiang Wei’s father’s influence, her book won several awards, including a national award.
Huishi High School even gave her a special reward.
This action touched the deepest part of the old literary enthusiast’s heart, and from then on, she treated Jiang Wei differently from others.
Otherwise, why would the class teacher care about a thirty-thousand-dollar bag?
The day before the final exam, the school held a teachers’ meeting.
The dean of instruction suddenly announced, "This year’s final exam papers will not only be reviewed anonymously but will also be shuffled."
The teachers were slightly taken aback.
