Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

Zhou Min graduated from a prestigious university and initially worked for a well-known company. The university had a male-to-female ratio of 7:1, and after starting work, she was surrounded by mostly male colleagues.

In particular, Zhou Min is a cheerful and beautiful girl, and she has many good-looking male friends around her.

Lin Xin graduated from a second-tier normal university. There were only six boys in the entire department, and the tallest of them was said to be less than 170cm. So Zhou Min was very popular among these girls at that time.

Zhou Min, feeling a pang of resentment, turned to Xu Lingyuan and asked, "What was your total score this time?"

"If you don't have as much, then don't ask."

Damn it, Zhou Min looked at the smirk on his face. Based on her understanding of him, he definitely had more than her, otherwise he would definitely have looked like someone owed him millions and was demanding repayment.

Hypocritical. What's the point of hiding these results? When the rankings come out, everyone will see them anyway.

Zhou Min turned to look at Li Liangcheng, Xu Lingyuan's deskmate: "What was your score? What was your total score?"

Li Liangcheng's lack of even looking up made Zhou Min feel very embarrassed, and she couldn't help but reach out and press down the book in front of Li Liangcheng.

"Are you talking to me?" Li Liangcheng asked seriously.

"What do you think?" Zhou Min said irritably.

“You’ve never spoken to me before. I thought you were talking to Xu Lingyuan.” Li Liangcheng looked embarrassed.

"No way, don't talk nonsense. Tell me your score." Zhou Min reflected again on how proactive she had been before.

"She'd be so anxious if she didn't talk to me for a day," Xu Lingyuan chimed in smugly.

Damn it, Zhou Min was so anxious she wanted to slap Xu Lingyuan a few times. He must have been just as smug in his past life.

"Fine, from today onwards, we're not allowed to talk to each other anymore. I won't talk to you, and you're not allowed to talk to me either." Zhou Min said angrily and turned her head away.

In her entire life, Zhou Min only ever bowed her head in front of Xu Lingyuan. In a way, she had to thank Xu Lingyuan, because he was the one who squeezed out all the gentleness from Zhou Min's personality.

Later, all Zhou Min had left was a bossy and ill-tempered attitude, and it was only thanks to Chen Sheng's indulgence that she remained devoted to her. Thinking about it this way, I feel quite sorry for Chen Sheng.

She couldn't help but glance back at Chen Sheng, just in time to see him immediately shift his gaze after being caught peeking.

Turning around, Zhou Min inevitably caught a glimpse of Xu Lingyuan's upturned lips out of the corner of her eye. At that moment, Zhou Min really wanted to say, "You're overthinking it, little brother. I really didn't want to see you."

“718,” Li Liangcheng said, tapping the edge of the table.

"Ah, oh." 718, that's so much taller than me. I remember Li Liangcheng was third in the class when he took the high school entrance exam, so the first place must have been around this level.

"Old Li, you scored so high this time, you must be number one, right?" Xu Lingyuan said, turning to put his arm around Li Liangcheng.

"No way, the others are definitely higher."

"Don't be modest."

“Zhou Min did the People’s Education Press version of the math textbook this time, otherwise she would definitely have scored higher than me.”

Please don't say it. Zhou Min tried hard to control her itchy right hand. She really wanted to slap them. What should she do?

Actually, you can't blame Li Liangcheng for this. He and Zhou Min were in the same class in the second year of junior high school. At that time, Zhou Min entered the class with the highest score in the class. The second-highest score in the class transferred schools, the third-highest score transferred classes, and the fourth-highest score was Li Liangcheng.

In the first semester of his second year of junior high school, Zhou Min's total score was more than 100 points higher than Li Liangcheng, who was second in the class. From then on, Zhou Min became his idol. Even though Zhou Min's grades later declined, he rose and surpassed Zhou Min.

There are six students in this experimental class who are from the same class as Zhou Min. Two of them are Li Liangcheng and Xu Lingyuan, who still sit behind Zhou Min in the same seat as they did in the second year of junior high school. The other one is Zhou Min's former deskmate named Xia Gehuan.

Another one is Ye Song, who was in the same class as Zhou Min in both the first and second years of junior high. Zhou Min had less contact with the other two.

There were also about ten classmates who had been in the same class as Zhou Min in junior high, and a few elementary school classmates. So many students in this classroom had a close relationship with Zhou Min.

After all, birds of a feather flock together. Zhou Min was always surrounded by students with good grades, which made her very popular in the classroom.

So what if I'm popular? Because I went to another high school, many of my classmates still drifted away from me.

What's the point of having friends like that? Zhou Min hopes she can be more mindful now and make some truly good friends.

5. As the bell rang for evening self-study, the physics teacher walked into the classroom and began to go over the test paper.

That's right, it's about going over test papers. I remember my middle school teacher doing this, often taking up my time in the morning and evening to teach.

As someone who once disliked studying, went to university, and relied entirely on last-minute cramming for exams, Zhou Min deeply felt, "Teacher, can I study on my own? It'll definitely be more effective than you lecturing."

Indeed, Zhou Min always felt that she was one of the geniuses who were dragged down by the Chinese education system. She used to love learning and had a strong thirst for knowledge.

However, her teachers and parents forbade her to read extracurricular books. Even though she already knew all the knowledge in the books, she still had to listen to the teacher repeat it over and over again. When she had nothing else to do, the teacher assigned her to copy exercises from the workbook.

Under such education for a long time, Zhou Min's interest in learning diminished, and she eventually became extremely arrogant and unserious.

It wasn't until I entered the workforce that I realized I had many shortcomings. But by then, my mind was already scattered, and I couldn't concentrate on studying. All that remained of my confused self was a heart unwilling to settle for mediocrity.

Zhou Min secretly placed the physics book under the test paper and looked at it carefully again.

The teacher probably already knows about her, but because Zhou Min is smart and can learn anything quickly, although her grades aren't outstanding, they've always been above average.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Min doesn't go too far or affect others, most teachers turn a blind eye. This is what Zhou Min heard from her homeroom teacher after graduation.

After reading the physics book all night, Zhou Min felt that she had basically mastered physics, and that her knowledge system was still very basic.

Even without looking at the book, Zhou Min knows everything. She's just afraid of accidentally answering questions beyond the syllabus and attracting the teacher's attention, so she plans to practice more later.

After evening self-study, Zhou Min returned to her dormitory. Seeing everyone chatting, she decided to wash up first and then come back to tidy up her things in the dormitory.

After washing up, I found more than a dozen novels under the bedding. Wow, that's a lot!

Xu Lingyuan really went to great lengths to corrupt himself. You know, the rent for a book is 2 cents a day, and the rent for so many books is enough for a meal every day.

Although she wanted to continue to fleece Xu Lingyuan, saving face was more important. Zhou Min sorted out the romance novels and planned to give them to Xu Lingyuan tomorrow.

While flipping through the pages, I found a notebook. When I opened it, I discovered it was my own diary.

Zhou Min used to keep a diary, but later she discovered that her mother was often secretly reading it. In a fit of anger, she burned all her diaries from over the years and never wrote in one again after that.
