The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

Chapter 27: Perfect Score

Translator: Lonelytree

The last statement given by the class teacher was so full of bullshit that it could be used to generate biomass fuel. However Mo Li was unfazed. She stood by her decision and most importantly her answers.

Tao Wen was offended by the way this teacher treated her own student. He refused to engage her further with conversation and picked up a red pen to mark Mo Li’s paper.

The other students stopped working on their tests. Now, they just wanted to see Mo Li being face-slapped. Qiao Qing could feel her breathing quicken. Even though she knew that Mo Li’s math was not good, Mo Yun had found her an excellent tutor, so she might get a few questions right by chance. Thankfully, she had put in a few good words for Mo Li beforehand. After all, it was her role to be supportive of others, especially her sister.

“Interesting, so it can be solved like this too.” Tao Wen became more serious as he went through the paper. He even gave a few excited exclamations.

“So, what do you think, Professor Tao? I’m sorry for wasting your time. Mo Li insisted on having you here, even though I’m sure she has only written nonsense on her paper!” The class teacher said with a frown as if she was apologizing on Mo Li’s behalf. However, internally she was already savoring Mo Li’s imminent disaster. She purposely exaggerated Mo Li’s words so that Tao Wen would have a bad impression of Mo Li. When Tao Wen saw Mo Li’s ridiculous answers for himself, his impression of Mo Li would only worsen. Prof. Tao hated those who didn’t respect the study of mathematics the most.

“This is brilliant, wonderful work! Teacher Sun, how come you didn’t tell me that you have such a math genius in your class before?” Tao Wen’s face was red as he held the test paper. He was shocked that he could find such a math genius in high school.

“Prof. Tao, what do you mean?”

Teacher Sun took back Mo Li’s paper and her jaw couldn’t stop trembling from shock. “Perfect score? How is that possible!”

Upon hearing teacher Sun’s words, everyone in the classroom could not help but gasp audibly and then they started to explain it away.

“This is impossible. She must have known the questions beforehand! That’s right, that is exactly something she’d do!”

“Perfect score? Impossible! If she can get a perfect score, then our Qiao Qing would be the world champion in math already!”

“I can’t believe that she would actually go so far as to steal the test paper, the audacity on this girl!”

“Qiao Qing is so pure and innocent. Poor thing has to suffer with living with such a horrendous sister.”

...

Hearing the comments, Tao Wen turned his head to look at the class.?What are these students talking about?

“I just finished coming up with this test paper today, it has not passed by a second person’s hands from question setting to actual printing. How could you student accuse another person of stealing without any proof?

“Or you students question my integrity? Hmm?”

With that, the whole class was instantly silenced. Tao Wen was a staff member that they couldn’t afford to offend. After all, Tao Wen had his former students posted at various education institutes all over Pearl River City, from professors at universities to principals at private academies. If you were unfortunately blackballed by this professor, your education future at Pearl River would be over, no matter how rich your family was.

“But...” Teacher Sun still couldn’t accept this result. Her chest rose and fell. If Mo Li was so good at math, why did she score 0 marks in all of her previous exams?

“Oh? So the students learn to accuse their classmate from their own teacher? Teacher Sun, do you think I have colluded with this girl too?” Hearing that, Teacher Sun hurriedly shook her head. She still needed her job at the school!

“It’s just that I’m curious about her perfect score, I’m sure Prof. Tao, you don’t give out that score so often. Does Mo Li really deserve it?”

“Of course, the way she solved the problems are clear-cut and, might I say, creative. Some of the workings surprised even me! This girl has given me a lot of new inspiration. There is much that we can learn from her. Ha ha ha!” Tao Wen was extremely gratified. He turned to where Mo Li was standing, thinking about taking on this student as his private, and probably last disciple. “She is a raw diamond and Teacher Sun, you have been hiding her all this time from me. In a bit, I will bring her test paper to the Teaching and Research Department. With this student representing our school, I’m sure the first place at IMO will go to our school!”

Teacher Sun was stunned, the other students were stunned. Was this still the same Mo Li they knew?

Teacher Sun was about to demand an explanation from Mo Li when she realized Mo Li had snatched up her schoolbag and wandered out from the classroom.
