Chapter 26: A Small Class Activity Before the Exam

I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

The invigilator that just reprimanded Chu Bai was the PE (Physical Education) teacher for the third-year students.

Though Chu Bai never really attended many PE classes in his third year, he nevertheless knew the name of his PE teacher, Xin Liangcai.

"Teacher Xin, I was doing that to relieve my face stiffness. I'm sorry." Chu Bai at once apologized for what he had done.

When Chu Bai checked the list of invigilators that were assigned to his examination hall for every subject, he happened to come across Xin Lingcai's name.

So, if at all Chu Bai made Xin Liangcai displeased, he would certainly not tolerate Chu Bai peeking into other students' exam papers hindering his cheating plan.

"Pay attention to the demo!"

After Xin Liangcai said sternly, he ignored him.

"Yes, I will!"

Chu Bai sincerely nodded his head seeming like an obedient student, but inwardly he cursed Xin Liangcai.

It took a while for the demo to be done soon after which all the students orderly left the examination hall.

When almost all the students had left, Xin Liangcai also took his leave.

At the door of the examination hall, Xin Liangcai caught a glimpse of Song Zhenyu.

Song Zhenyu must also have been assigned to be one of the invigilators near his examination hall.

Xin Liangcai couldn't help but become overjoyed. He opened his mouth to greet Song Zhenyu but then again he quickly shut it tight.

Taking quick steps, Xin Liangcai immediately fled the scene as if avoiding Song Zhenyu like a plague.

He let out a sigh of relief only after he got down to the first floor.

"Teacher Xin."

Xin Liangcai hearing the voice of a student greeting next to him, turned his head to take a look and was scared sh*tless as if his soul was sucked out from his body.

"W-Wang... S-Student Wang Haoran, Is there something I can help you with?" Xin Liangcai asked in a trembling voice, his face twitched a few times.

"It's nothing serious. I just wanted to have a few words with Teacher Xin on a whim." Wang Haoran smiled and walked past him.

Xin Liangcai helplessly followed behind.

Not long after, they've arrived at the playground.

"I am no longer pestering Teacher Song. I didn't even dare to greet her when I accidentally run into her outside of the examination hall just now. You can ask Teacher Song if you don't trust me. Please, let me go." Xin Liangcai took the initiative to speak.

Wang Haoran was somewhat amused by Xin Liangcai's reaction.

"Teacher Xin, I know. Don't fret over it. I didn't come looking for you to talk about something like that."

After reassuring Xin Liangcai, he cut to the chase.

"I believe you are one of the invigilators invigilating the examination hall with a student named Chu Bai, right?"

"Yes, I am. He was sneaking glances at everyone in the examination hall. I also confronted him just now." Xin Liangcai said nodding his head.

"He was sneaking glances?" Wang Haoran snickered. It was obvious that Chu Bai was familiarising himself with the examination hall to cheat.

"Then, when you are invigilating the exam, remember to pay attention to Chu Bai. Make sure to keep an eye on him. Don't let him sneak glances, not even once!"

"Certainly. I'll make sure to keep an eye on him at all times." Xin Liangcai firmly nodded his head in agreement.

As an invigilator, it wasn't at all a complicated task for him to keep an eye on an examinee.

Wang Haoran asked for Xin Liangcai's WeChat and proceeded to transfer 50,000 yuan to him.

"Student Wang, no, Young Master Wang, you..."

Xin Liangcai was somewhat dumbfounded.

"This is just half the amount. I will transfer the remaining half after you complete the task. If you fail to keep an eye on Chu Bai, you'd better be ready for the consequences!" Wang Haoran warned.

Preventing Chu Bai from cheating was a crucial thing he must do. He didn't want any accidents whatsoever.

If at all Xin Liangcai didn't keep his word, it would do no good.

So he had to both reward and warn Xin Liangcai beforehand.

Only then would Xin Liangcai follow his instructions.

The task Xin Liangcai was given didn't go against his profession or principles after all.

Xin Liangcai would only need to properly utilize his rights as an invigilator.

"Rest assured. I will definitely follow Young Master Li's instructions!" Xin Liangcai said in delight. He couldn't wait to tap on his phone to confirm the payment.

It was finally time for the evening study session.

As the mock exam would be conducted the next day, the school bell had been set accordingly.

As a result, though it was already time for the evening study session, the bell did not ring.

In some classes, third-year students were given a break, while others were under the care of their homeroom teachers and were having their evening study session as usual.

Sadly, Wang Haoran's class was in the latter category.

At this moment, Song Zhengyu sat at the side of the board, writing a lesson plan while keeping a watch on the students.

The noises of students were heard from the other classes outside the classroom.

Not long after, songs that seemed to be sung by students themselves were also being heard from some classes.

Most likely, It must be that some classes were holding some kind of activity under the guidance of their homeroom teachers.

After the song ended, it was followed by a huge round of applause.

The noise outside was so loud making it close to impossible to have a peaceful evening study session.

Song Zhenyu leaned back on her seat. Feeling too hard to concentrate, she said.

"Let it be. You have the mock exam tomorrow. I can't put too much pressure on you now. Let's take a little break."

"Long live Teacher Song!"

"Teacher Song is sensible!"

In the classroom, there was a burst of applause.

"Don't diddle away running outside and make too much noise. See what all activities other classes are doing. Learn something from them, okay?" Song Zhenyu wanted her students to behave properly.

"How about Teacher Song start with singing a song?"

"Yes, this must be it!"

...

The students below began to make a commotion.

As each classroom had a PC equipped with a microphone, singing was something they could do.

"Singing is fine, but I am not the one singing. You can sing, I'll just cheer you up." Song Zhengyu hurriedly waved her hand.

Her singing was the same as screaming. It was fine to sing before her friends, but she was too embarrassed to sing before her students.

As Song Zhenyu had politely refused, the students no longer insisted.

So everyone had to change their target.

"Study Committee Member must sing!" Someone yelled out.

"No, no, I can't. I'm from the study committee, not from the art committee. I don't know how to sing." Xu Muyan had also refused.

"Is there anyone from the arts committee here?"

Everyone's eyes shifted to Wang Haoran.

That was right, he was the literature and arts committee member.

When all the students locked their eyes at Wang Haoran, not only was he not the least bit nervous, he seemed somewhat delighted.

He had been impatient for a very long time, okay?

"Wang Haoran!"

"Wang Haoran!"

Before Wang Haoran could speak, the girls in their classroom began to call out his name.

Being the most handsome student in the school, Wang Haoran had far too many fangirls.

As soon as they heard that Wang Haoran was the one that was going to sing, they were thrilled.

"He might be handsome. Would it mean he is also good at singing? They're just a group of silly girls. Is there even a need to make a commotion out of it?" Chu Bai scorned.

Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that Wang Haoran knew how to sing.
