Start as a top student after transmigrating.

Chen Dongjia.

Because there were no classes after the exams and school ended early, Zeng Ling went home early to cook. Chen Zhenjiang also came home early, but instead of going into the kitchen, he made a phone call in the living room.

"Yes, we need three part-time workers."

"The main job is promotion of gifts, which may involve moving some goods, so it would be best if the candidate is male and knows how to handle cashier duties."

"Okay, let me know as soon as possible."

As soon as Chen Dong got home, he heard Chen Zhenjiang looking for a part-time job.

"Dad, what kind of part-time job is it?" Chen Dong asked curiously as he changed his shoes.

"New Year's Day is coming soon, and the supermarket was preparing to hold some promotional activities. The manpower was all arranged, but the plan changed at the last minute, so we have to find people again." Chen Zhenjiang hung up the phone, shrugged, and said with a slightly bitter expression.

Their store is a convenience store, unlike other small supermarkets. In addition to daily necessities, it also sells fresh vegetables and meat, offering a comprehensive range of products that are convenient and beneficial to the people.

Therefore, business is actually better during holidays, and with the addition of promotions, it's even busier than usual, so we need to find part-time helpers.

The original owner never cared about these things, but Chen Dong's eyes lit up.

"There are already people available here."

Chen Dong said excitedly, "Dad, don't look for anyone else, I'll do the part-time job. Xiao Yezi, do you want to do a part-time job?"

"Stop fooling around."

Chen Zhenjiang smiled and waved his hand, picking up a teacup from the coffee table. "Your task is to study hard. Your mother and I can handle the supermarket matters."

"I'm not making a fuss. We'll have a holiday right after the mock exam. This time it's a three-day break, combining the holiday with New Year's Day. We have plenty of time," Chen Dong pleaded.

Ye Wanwan remained silent.

She wanted to do part-time work, but she wanted to tutor Chen Dong even more. It wasn't about the tutoring fee; she just felt that improving Dong's grades was more important than anything else.

"So you're not going to study during the holidays?"

"Now that the exams are over, relax a bit and do some part-time work to earn some pocket money. If the two of us aren't enough, I'll call Mozi and the others over."

"No, things have finally started to change, don't bring your cronies over again."

"I don't have any bad friends. Besides Mozi, I have two other friends, both girls. I'll ask them if they want to do part-time work. There are five of us, so we can earn the money of three people."

Chen Zhenjiang still wanted to refuse.

Zeng Ling, who came out of the kitchen, smiled and said, "It's a good thing that the children want to do things. Let them experience what it's like to work and have a taste of life."

"They're already in their final year of high school, and they..." Chen Zhenjiang was concerned about their studies.

Although Chen Dong's grades aren't great, he has been studying diligently lately. His father hopes his son can maintain this momentum, and he doesn't care about the final grades.

"You need to relax even in your senior year of high school. School's on holiday, why are you worrying about this?" Zeng Ling interrupted him, and then subtly gestured towards Ye Wanwan to give Chen Zhenjiang a hint.

She had talked with Chen Dong many times and knew about Ye Wanwan's family situation. She already felt sorry for this well-behaved and sensible girl, and when she learned that Ye Wanwan had lost her parents at a young age, her heart broke.

Therefore, she strongly supported Chen Dong bringing Ye Wanwan home for dinner and tried to be nice to Ye Wanwan in different ways every day. She even inquired about the tutoring fees, and it turned out that Chen Dong had paid for them.

She even wanted to offer assistance, but Chen Dong said that Ye Wanwan was a strong, stubborn, and proud child. Clothes were fine, but cash might make Ye Wanwan feel like it was charity, which could hurt her pride.

Zeng Ling had no choice but to feel sorry for the child by providing her with food. Now that she had the opportunity to help, she naturally supported Chen Dong's decision to take her to do part-time work.

Chen Zhenjiang then realized what was happening and coughed twice, saying, "Since you really want to experience it, then invite all your friends. Let's get this straight, even with my own son, we have to be clear about the accounts. I'll only give you 80 a day at most, and if you make a mistake, I'll deduct from your pay."

"I'm fine with it, Xiao Yezi, what do you think?" Chen Dong looked at Ye Wanwan.

"I... I don't need the money~" Ye Wanwan whispered.

Since Dong-ge wants to do part-time work, it's fine to relax after the exams. As for the payment, Dong-ge's family has been very kind to her and helped her a lot during this time. She is grateful and it is only right for her to help out. Why should she ask for money?

"Silly child, there's no such thing as a job without pay." Zeng Ling pulled Ye Wanwan over and patted her hand with heartache.

"Auntie, it's me~"

"It's settled then. I'll call them now and tell them we've found everyone." Chen Zhenjiang smiled and waved to Ye Wanwan, then finalized the matter.

……

At noon, Ye Wanwan reviewed the math knowledge system with Chen Dong, highlighting key points for targeted review before the exam.

The math exam started promptly at 3 PM.

This is his strongest subject. To be precise, there is no such thing as being weak in any subject when you are a top student. However, he failed to break through 700 points in the original world and was just a step away from Tsinghua and Peking Universities. There are still some subjects that he did not reach the top level.

However, math is not included here. Back then, no matter how difficult the math questions were in the big or small exams, my score never dropped below 140. In the college entrance exam, it was the science section that slightly dragged down my overall score.

After glancing at the test paper, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Wow, as expected of a mock exam, the math is really difficult."

"It seems that Qingjiang City wants to test the true level of all the senior high school students in the city and see how high the top students can go."

As the saying goes, the more difficult the questions are, the more they highlight the gap between top students and ordinary students. Only questions of this difficulty can truly differentiate top students from ordinary students and reveal the true level of their abilities.

"Aren't you afraid that most students will be severely discouraged and doubt themselves after the mock exam?" Chen Dong could understand the purpose of the hellish difficulty of the mock exam, but when he flipped to the later big questions, even he couldn't help but gasp.

This is probably not intended to destroy confidence.

Although all the teachers are emphasizing that the mock exam is difficult and the final score is very likely to be lower than usual, even if it is 50 or 60 points lower, it is normal.

But math alone might kill half the test takers; if the combined science subjects are even more difficult, it could be enough to drive anyone crazy.

Of course, Chen Dong had practiced countless past exam papers, including mock exams, and even the college entrance exam. This level of difficulty was nothing to him and posed little challenge.

The rustling sound of pen strokes as students worked on problems was particularly jarring in classroom 23.

"Sure, there are still students in the last exam room who can start working?"

The two teachers on the podium, who were idly proctoring the exam, suddenly noticed Chen Dong, who was engrossed in doing the questions, and both looked surprised.

They knew perfectly well what the level of the last exam room was like, and none of them bothered to copy anything; they just wanted to hand in their papers as soon as possible so they could go have some fun.

Mathematics, in particular, will never betray you; it won't just give you a solution, nor will it even qualify you to fool people.

I've never seen a group of academically challenged students manage to do math problems so easily.

"I'll go take a look."

One of the two happened to be a math teacher, and out of curiosity, he went over to Chen Dong's side, wanting to see what the student sitting in the last seat, who was ranked last in the entire grade, would write on his math test paper.

He stood there quietly, then suddenly seemed to have been struck by a pressure point, staring in disbelief and frozen in place.
