Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Defeated by the Students

Xia Yingluo and Li Sitong felt very nervous.

Seeing their anxious expressions, Ye Chen gave a slight smile: "I'll just make you two re‑explain these two problems."

Li Sitong and Xia Yingluo let out a sigh of relief.

These kinds of problems were already covered by Ye Chen during his tutoring, so they had no trouble explaining them.

Li Sitong and Xia Yingluo each explained one problem.

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm, pay attention next time."

At that moment, a girl raised her hand.

"Teacher, I actually spaced out just now. Why didn't you call on me?"

Ye Chen gave a faint smile: "Sorry, I only have eyes for the person I like."

A wave of hisses instantly filled the class.

Li Sitong and Xia Yingluo's faces flushed bright red.

Old Wang cleared his throat: "Ye Chen, keep teaching, and let the other students stop asking questions unrelated to the lesson."

Ye Chen continued his lecture.

It must be said, Ye Chen's teaching effect was outstanding.

Occasionally Ye Chen would crack a joke to liven up the atmosphere.

But throughout the whole class he kept showing off his affection.

"Li Sitong, could you re‑explain this problem?"

"Xia Yingluo, please tell me which law this problem uses."

"Come on, Li Sitong, from which angle do you think this problem is best answered?"

During the class, it seemed Ye Chen only had eyes for Li Sitong and Xia Yingluo.

Li Sitong and Xia Yingluo were constantly called upon by Ye Chen to answer questions.

Later, after Ye Chen finished a point, students started shouting the answer without him having to call them.

"Li Sitong, answer this problem."

"Xia Yingluo, Teacher Ye is calling you!"

Laughter echoed throughout the Classroom.

Wang Chao frowned; although the class order was a bit chaotic, he didn't interrupt Ye Chen's lecture.

Because Wang Chao realized Ye Chen's deliberate calling of Li Sitong and Xia Yingluo wasn't just simple flirting.

Ye Chen's questions always hit the key knowledge points.

He would first explain once, then have Li Sitong and Xia Yingluo repeat it.

Thus, the students unconsciously heard the material twice, reinforcing their memory.

This kid has some skill.

A spark lit up in Wang Chao's eyes.

It must be said, after teaching for over thirty years, he had never been bested by anyone, yet today he found himself admiring Ye Chen a bit.

Wang Chao could feel Ye Chen's teaching effect far outshone his own.

Before, the lower‑ranking students seemed to listen as if to a distant chant.

Even though their bodies were present, their souls had already drifted far away.

But today, every student followed Ye Chen's line of thought.

Ye Chen may appear to be flirting, but unintentionally he kept making the knowledge stick through repeated recall.

Ye Chen kept calling Li Sitong and Xia Yingluo, and the class's hisses never stopped; the students' interest was fully sparked.

"Alright, we've covered all the problems. Does anyone have any questions?"

"Teacher Ye, if you had to choose a multiple‑choice question, would you pick Li Sitong as A or Xia Yingluo as B?"

Suddenly a Gossiping Girl asked.

Instantly, the Classroom fell into dead silence.

All eyes turned to Ye Chen.

Li Sitong and Xia Yingluo also felt very nervous.

It was the question both of them most wanted to know the answer to.

Ye Chen gave a faint smile and tossed the chalk: "I'll choose AB."

"Shh!"

The class erupted in hisses.

Class Five's hissing almost lifted the roof.

Wang Chao could no longer stand it and pounded the desk.

"Alright, quiet down. Did you all understand what Ye Chen taught?"

"We understood."

Only then did the students realize they had followed Ye Chen's train of thought the whole class without a single mind wandering.

They even felt the lesson was not only educational but also extremely enjoyable.

Wang Chao nodded: "Since you all understood, I'll start asking questions."

"Li Ying, tell us how to solve this problem."

That girl was the one who had just asked the AB Multiple‑Choice Question.

Her grades were average, and Wang Chao thought she wouldn't be able to answer.

To his surprise, the girl answered the problem fluently, with a very clear line of reasoning.

Impressive!

Wang Chao was also a bit shocked.

Still doubtful, he asked a few more classmates.

The result was that several students had a deep understanding of the problem.

"Hmm, not bad. It seems Teacher Ye's teaching level is indeed excellent," Wang Chao couldn't help but praise.

The classmates all nodded.

In the past, they dreaded tackling the test paper.

It was too dull.

But listening to Ye Chen was completely different.

They felt the class was like a comedy show, and they mastered all the knowledge points.

The only thing that left them a bit down was the mouthful of dog food.

Wang Chao laughed and said: "Do you prefer my lectures or Teacher Ye's?"

The Classroom fell very quiet; the students lowered their heads.

Wang Chao felt depressed.

The students' silence already represented the result.

Wang Chao sighed.

After 35 years of teaching, he was defeated by his own students.

It seems future teaching must learn more from Ye Chen and abandon rigid conventions.

After class, Ye Chen started using his phone.

"Ah, everything's sold today? What if there's still a limit‑up?" Li Sitong said reluctantly.

After all, daily limit‑ups feel so exhilarating.

Ye Chen shook his head: "The stock market's biggest taboo is one word—greed. Let's take profits today. By the way, remind your best friend to sell all the stocks she holds today."

In Ye Chen's memory, today was the last day of limit‑up.

Starting tomorrow, the stocks would enter a crash mode.

Not only would the gains tumble back, they might even be delisted, ruining countless people.

Li Sitong found Yu Weiwei.

"Weiwei, Ye Chen sold all the stocks today."

"Okay, I'll inform my dad right away."

Yu Weiwei hurriedly picked up her phone and dialed her father's number.

"Dad, my classmate said we must sell all the stocks today."

Her father was startled: "Are you sure? This stock has been doing well."

"My classmate told me so."

Her father hung up, gritted his teeth, and still sold all the stocks he held.

After school, the stocks Ye Chen listed were indeed all sold.

In less than a week, Ye Chen earned over 600,000 yuan.

Over 600,000 yuan was an astronomical figure in 2008.

Li Sitong stared at the incoming balance, ecstatic.

"We're rich! I never thought a few days could bring in so much money."

With a profit of 600,000 yuan, according to their prior agreement, Ye Chen also received a 300,000 yuan profit bonus.

At this moment, a pleasant System voice rang in Ye Chen's mind.

Ye Chen felt delighted; the System reward had arrived again!
