Rebirth Plan to Save Leader

Chapter 75 Part 2

Just before dinner, everyone was doing quizzes together in the small black room. Qi Lele didn’t act in any strange ways…

Chen Feier immediately wanted to go over to ask what was going on, but was stopped by Zhang Man.

Since she was hiding here and crying, she didn’t want to be seen.

They walked for a while before returning to their classrooms.

Before the evening self-study class, Qi Lele finally came back, Zhang Man glanced at her quietly. Aside from how her eyes were a little red, she couldn’t see anything unusual.

She pretended to be casual and asked her, “Lele, is there anything you’re unhappy about recently?”

Qi Lele was shocked by her question, and shook her head with a smile. “No, what can I be unhappy about?”

Zhang Man thought for a while and didn’t ask any more questions.

Qi Lele was obviously not in a good mood during self-study. She didn’t work hard on the questions as she usually did. She often sat in a daze, drawing circles on the paper with a pen.

Finally, after the evening self-study class left, she took the initiative to say to Zhang Man, “Man Man, I… I was really unhappy today, and I thought no one would notice.”

She pushed her glasses. “You all don’t know this, but even though I passed the first round, I was at the  cut-off line. My score was lower than many students in ordinary classes. In the afternoon, a teacher from the school’s teaching group came to see me. He asked me about my future plans, and whether I want to stay in the physics class or take the college entrance exam.”

As she spoke, her eyes became more and more red.

“I know that the teachers are thinking about me. Teaching physics is really time-consuming. If my path is dark and the results are bad, then I won’t be able to pass the college entrance exam. My heart feels very uncomfortable.”

She shook her head. “Forget it… I don’t even know what I’m talking about. I’m bad at this. Maybe I’m really not suitable to study physics.”

Looking at her dejected look, Zhang Man felt distressed when she thought of how she worked hard to solve the questions and study hard.

Zhang Man was a high school teacher in her previous life. She had seen how Qi Lele usually performed, so she thought about what the issue was.

Qi Lele was usually silent. She didn’t have much of a presence in the whole class, but she did as many practice problems as Zhang Man.

She could see that Qi Lele liked physics a lot and she was talented in it, but she was too timid. When Lin Pingzheng would ask her to go up to do a question, there were many times where she obviously knew how to do it, but couldn’t once she was up there.

She thought of how Qi Lele was so nervous that she was about to faint before the preliminary exam. She immediately knew that a large part of the reason why her score was so low was because her mental health was not good, or in other words, she was not adapted to an exam environment.

Then when the scores came out, her self-confidence took another hit, which made her so depressed.

“Lele, listen to me. There is nothing wrong with you. You are much smarter than me, but you were too nervous during the exam. Think about it, you went to the bathroom three times half an hour before the exam started. I saw that your hand was shaking while holding the pen.”

As Zhang Man spoke, strong feelings about it rose.

Whether it was the college entrance exam or the competition, it was a very difficult path to be on. Talent, hard work, luck, and mental strength were all needed. No one achieved their goals easily. Everyone in this world was going through unimaginable struggles.

Life was like this. There were countless roads, but a dream was often the most tortuous one.

“I know, but I just can’t control it. Before every big exam, I tell myself not to be nervous. The more I talk about it, the more nervous I become. Once the papers are handed out, I’m completely frozen. I don’t remember anything about what I have practiced. I really don’t know what the point of trying harder is…”

She sobbed softly.

“Zhang Man, sometimes I really envy you. I think you are very mature and courageous. Did you know that? When Lin Pingzheng was saying those things in class, I was trembling with anger, and I just couldn’t stand up. Yet, I thought you were so heroic back then.”

“You are really different from me. I think you are very brave, calm, self-sufficient, and steady even when it comes to dating. You’re not like those girls in our class who aren’t in a relationship.”

Zhang Man was amused by what she said. She thought of how she had lived ten plus years longer than them. How could they be compared?

When she first entered high school in her previous life, she was withdrawn and timid. It was perhaps worse than Qi Lele.

She wanted to say something to comfort her. At this moment, there was a cell phone ringing in the classroom. Zhang Man came back to her senses and realized that it was Li Wei’s cell phone that was ringing.

Personalized ringtones were very popular in N City this year, but Li Wei’s ringtone had always been the default ringtone when buying a cell phone. The jingle ringtone was actually unique.

The youth was not in the classroom. He went to Liu Zhijun’s office to report on what was taught.

Zhang Man took out his cell phone from his schoolbag and sat in his seat. She looked at the screen, and saw that it was an out-of-town cell phone number.

She had always been the only contact in his cell phone. No one else would ever call, so he didn’t remember to put it on mute.

But someone was calling him today? And it was an overseas call…

Zhang Man pressed the answer button and picked up.

“Hello, Gold Harbor Blue Bay Real Estate has opened. It is adjacent to River City’s Railway Station and the elementary school. A variety of room types…”

“…”

She cut off the call and was about to put the phone back when the phone screen flashed and she suddenly felt something was wrong.

She turned on the phone again, and saw the wallpaper… It was a screenshot of a post on the forums, and it seemed to be enlarged.

In the middle of the screen, the black characters on a white background were very noticeable.

[Zhang Man]: “All the comments before this is invalid, my husband is the one who is the most handsome!”

Zhang Man: “…”

Qi Lele, who happened to be on the side: “…”

The tears that were rolling down her cheeks suddenly went back in fright.

???

What about being brave, calm, self-sufficient, and steady?
