Chapter 4: Bragging Without Drafting!

It is evident that the two have already concluded that Crown Prince Wang has done nothing this afternoon, only preoccupied with copying answers

I did not plagiarize; all the questions were done by me!" replied Wang Shizi innocently

"Then I will leave it to you! Oh, by the way, here is five hundred yuan. Please help me pass it to that Wang Shizi; it is for his accommodation expenses while he has been staying in the county town these days." Principal Yan listened to Teacher Chen's words and promptly took out a stack of cash from his pocket and handed it over. He then waved his hand and said, "You can go now. Once you finish these matters, return and get some rest early. Tomorrow we will have a tough battle!"

Principal Yan's sudden outburst clearly startled Wang Shizi, who was standing to the side. He evidently did not understand what had caused this usually amiable principal to become so enraged.

What do you mean by asking if I have any questions? It should be that I want to ask you if you have any questions. I asked you to honestly complete the exam paper, not to copy the answers! The college entrance examination is the day after tomorrow; what use is it for you to spend an entire afternoon copying these answers?

Because I can solve all the problems, the answer should naturally be correct! However, the Crown Prince still responded with a serious expression and a calm demeanor.

Ah, I have indeed lost my composure. My father has repeatedly entrusted me with the care of this child. Considering how difficult it was for him to come down from the mountains, it is only natural to hope that he can achieve something. But who would have thought that this child would be so dishonest! Forget it, please help me arrange things for him! After all, I have already fought for an opportunity for him, and I can no longer concern myself with what results he may achieve!

Ahem, do you mean that if tomorrow's college entrance examination questions are of the same difficulty as today's, you could easily score a perfect 750 points in the exam?" Chen Zeming could no longer bear to listen, and his voice rose by two octaves.

My name is Chen Zeming, and I am the teacher responsible for taking you to the college entrance examination tomorrow. Stepping out of the office, Chen Zeming directly introduced himself to Wang Shizi.

... ...

Cough, cough! Teacher Chen, who was standing to the side, suddenly coughed twice and interjected: "Alright, Principal Yan, why are you getting so upset? This must be Student Wang, right? Principal Yan has already informed me about your situation. You don't need to stand here; why don't you go wait outside for a moment? I will have a brief chat with Principal Yan, and then I will help you arrange your accommodation for tonight."

Is Yanjiacun very poor? Have you got electricity there?

Although I have lived in the mountains my whole life, I started to engage with the internet two years ago. I understand the etiquette of interpersonal communication quite well, so I immediately responded, "Hello, Teacher Chen!" which indeed seemed quite proper.

As for that math problem, in fact, many types of questions are essentially the same, just with different numbers; one can basically tell the answer just by looking at it. So, it seems that doing three sets of papers shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Wang Shizi looked at Teacher Chen, whose expression had shifted from amiable to slightly pale, and provided an example.

"You spent three and a half hours completing three full sets of college entrance examination papers, and you still achieved a perfect score when compared to the correct answers. Do you still insist that those questions were done by you?" Teacher Chen suppressed a surge of unnameable anger at being deceived and confirmed once again.

"Did you do this yourself? Alright, then let me ask you, since you did these major problems on your own, why is there no solution process provided with the textbook? There is only one answer? Moreover, you didn't even use a single sheet of scratch paper; how did you arrive at these answers?" Principal Yan questioned in a low voice, pointing at the math test paper on the desk.

The crown prince, upon hearing Teacher Chen's words, looked up in confusion at Principal Yan, who still appeared somewhat angry, and scratched his head, asking, "I don't need to solve the problems anymore?"

This is the first time he has encountered such a student; no, Wang Shizi cannot even be considered his student. He is incapable of teaching a student who would dare to speak so recklessly.

The Crown Prince was completely at a loss after hearing these words. He had indeed completed these questions honestly, so how could they be labeled as plagiarism? Thus, he blinked his large eyes and innocently responded, "I did all these questions myself, so how did it turn into copying?"

Well, it is indeed the first time for Wang Shizi to take an exam at this age, and he truly does not know that these math problems require the steps to be shown. In his view, answering the questions on the test paper is sufficient, and he never thought that every step needed to be detailed. Moreover, in the materials bag, this Teacher Chen kindly included the reference answers, making it hard for anyone not to misunderstand.

I understand! You are just worried about the situation. Alright, I will take care of this child. Coincidentally, there are three students from left-behind families in our class who need to stay at school, and I have arranged for them to be together. There is still one bed available in the dormitory, and I will take this child over shortly. It will be good for the young people to exchange some tips regarding the college entrance examination.

Chen Zeming initially thought that the Crown Prince Wang had nothing to say in response to his sharp remarks. However, to his surprise, this fellow bowed his head and was actually deep in thought, even uttering such brazen words. Now, it was Chen Zeming who found himself at a loss for words. Nevertheless, in his heart, although Chen Zeming was still unclear about the Crown Prince's actual achievements, he had clearly concluded that this guy was just a child who boasted without needing to prepare a script.

After Teacher Chen responded and left the principal's office, Principal Yan let out a deep sigh. He then set aside the matter of Wang Shizi and began to study a document placed on his desk. As the head of the school, on this important day, the day before the college entrance examination, he indeed could not devote all his energy to a student who had suddenly transferred in.

Grandfather once said that lying is not a good habit, and those who like to boast also tend to lie. Therefore, I never boast, nor would I lie, " Wang Shizi said with a serious expression

Not yet! However, it is said that the government has announced that electricity will be supplied to the village within five years

Is it possible that his exam scores are poor? That shouldn't be the case. When he was solving the problems, he felt that the questions were too easy. Essentially, after looking at the questions, the steps to solve them and the correct answers appeared in his mind simultaneously. Except for the reading comprehension questions in Chinese, there wasn't a single question that took him more than one minute to solve.

Chen Zeming, who was already extremely annoyed, naturally overlooked the information inadvertently revealed by Wang Shizi during his speech; he had actually been online. However, Yanjiacun has not even had electricity connected, so where could the internet come from

"Alright, then let me ask you why all your answers are exactly the same as the correct ones!" Clearly, Wang Shizi's response had left Teacher Chen utterly speechless, prompting him to ask sternly.

Upon hearing this question, Prince Wang lowered his head. Just when Chen Zeming thought that this child from the mountains had no words to say, he suddenly raised his head again and earnestly replied: "Hmm? This is still quite challenging. I saw online that achieving full marks in Chinese and English essays is actually not very easy. I will do my best."

Of course, the Crown Prince's response further frustrated Principal Yan, who angrily exclaimed: "Are you still unrepentant? Seven or eight methods? That's unnecessary. Just list three methods for each problem, right now!"

"What? The problem-solving process? You mean the thought process for solving the problems, right? That's all in my mind, it's quite simple step by step, I can just calculate it directly, can't I? Moreover, many of these problems have seven or eight different methods of solving them. Should I write out each of these methods step by step?" Wang Shizi said, bewildered.

The most important thing is that it is estimated that no one in this world believes that a candidate can complete three sets of mock college entrance examination papers in less than four hours, with all answers being correct. This is indeed quite extraordinary.

Well, the science questions are quite simple, requiring only mental calculations, so it naturally doesn't take much time! As for the Chinese language, I understood it all after just one reading, so there was certainly no difficulty! Moreover, since I write quickly, I directly skipped the Chinese and English essays, and I also didn't do the listening section, which naturally made it a bit faster!" Wang Shizi tilted his head and thought for a moment, explaining all the reasons he could think of.

Wang Shizi tilted his head and thought for a moment, explaining all the reasons he could think of.

"Alright, I will assume that you can do everything, but can you really complete three sets of papers in such a short time?" Chen Zeming questioned, somewhat angrily and embarrassed.

Well, it was requested by grandfather. In fact, before the age of 8, I used to go up the mountain to collect firewood

I heard that you have been chopping firewood for the villagers every day since you were very young

What can you do? ! '' Chen Zeming was nearly choked by a single remark from Wang Shizi; this answer is indeed quite unbeatable. Yes, because he can solve all the questions, his answer is naturally identical to the correct answer, which is perfectly understandable.

Upon hearing this, Prince Wang shrugged his shoulders, no longer entangled in thought, and directly turned to leave the principal's office

Therefore, in the eyes of Crown Prince Wang, Principal Yan's reaction was undoubtedly somewhat abnormal, and he could not understand why. Thus, the children in the mountains, being very straightforward, asked their heartfelt question: "Principal Yan? Do you have any problems?"

"Well, let me take you to the dormitory first, and we can talk as we walk," Teacher Chen nodded and then led Wang Shizi out of the teaching building, engaging in casual conversation along the way.

Alright, Principal Yan, is it really necessary to be this angry? Do you truly have high hopes for this child?" Once Wang Shizi's figure had completely disappeared, Teacher Chen began to offer comfort: "You are aware of the educational standards in the mountains; it is normal for children to struggle with many questions and to resort to some unconventional thinking.

You can tell the answer just by looking at it? Can you not brag for once! Even with Teacher Chen's years of experience as a homeroom teacher, he couldn't help but start to complain upon hearing Wang Shizi's words. High school math problems are already quite difficult; even he couldn't possibly know the answer just by glancing at it. Therefore, he would rather believe that Wang Shizi couldn't answer a single question and chose to cheat instead. Upon hearing Wang Shizi's words, he couldn't help but start to complain.

Hearing Principal Yan say that everyone in your village praises you as a good child, why did you choose to copy the correct answers during the exam this afternoon? Is it because the difficulty of the exam was too high, and you were afraid we would look down on you for not being able to do it?

"No need, you may leave for now!" Teacher Chen said with a frown.
