<h4>Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Schadenfreude</h4><h4></h4>


    And each teacher’s supervision of sses was not even the same.


    "Dean Tang, I’m off now! Better to get to the ssroom early and prepare," Xiao Yifei said with a smile to Tang Weixing, then left the office with a smile on his face and headed towards the ssroom he was assigned to monitor.


    Tang Weixing watched Xiao Yifei’s departing figure and suddenly remembered something, a look of concern shing in his eyes.


    Shen Liguo was also in the office. When he heard Tang Weixing say that the questions were very difficult, his heart had been filled with worry, fearing that if the students performed poorly, it would reflect badly on him. But when he saw Xiao Yifei appear, his eyes lit up, and a cold smile spread across his face.


    "Humph! I almost forgot about that kid, Xiao Yifei. If it weren’t for him, I might really lose face! But with him at the bottom, there’s nothing to worry about. He dares topete with me, and this time, it’s not just losing face in front of me, but in front of the whole school, and he might even ruin his reputation at Huaxia Medical College! The lowest score in history! Humph!"


    A malicious smile of schadenfreude appeared on Shen Liguo’s arrogant and ugly face.


    After Xiao Yifei left the office, a strange light flickered in the eyes of the other teachers as they watched his retreating figure.


    Whether they shared Shen Liguo’s thoughts or not, the look they gave Xiao Yifei was full of relief.


    The teachers each collected their own papers and left. Tang Weixing, however, seemed to be troubled, standing in ce with furrowed brows and a distressed look on his face.


    "What’s the matter, Dean Tang? Just now, you had it all figured out, didn’t you? The students will perform as well as they can. Why are you looking so worried now? Everyone has taken their papers, and Xiao Yifei and Shen Liguo aren’t in our office to argue anymore," Luo Di approached and said with a puzzled look.


    Upon hearing Luo Di’s words, Tang Weixing turned around with a frown and said, "Ah, what worries me is this Xiao Yifei. I hadn’t thought of it until now. Normally, our Surgical Institute is one of the best in the school, so I’m not worried about the quality of our students. Even if they perform badly, they won’t hold the school back. But I forgot about Xiao Yifei! I’m worried about him!"


    Tang Weixingined with a frown, "If the grades of his two sses are too low, it won’t just be our institute that loses face but also possibly our school. It’s bad luck for him and for me. It’s my first time experiencing this kind of situation. If the sses he oversees perform too badly, how am I supposed to exin it to the other deans?"


    Luo Di said with a smile while approaching Tang Weixing, "There, there, Dean Tang. No need to worry so much. Didn’t you say it yourself? If Xiao Yifei coulde to our school, it must be because President Tan rmended him. Even if the sses he oversees perform poorly, it surely has nothing to do with you!"


    "Ah!"


    Tang Weixing bowed his head and let out a heavy sigh.


    Meanwhile, the exam-monitoring teachers had already arrived at their assigned sses. Under the system separating teaching and examination, everything appeared especially solemn.


    At that moment, Qiu Shaobin and a professor teaching ’Physiology’, Song Ping, were responsible for supervising the exam of Clinical ss (3). As they stepped into the ssroom, they were taken aback to see the students of Clinical ss (3) gazing at them, full of hope and determination—something Qiu had never seen before on the faces of these students.


    His course had already concluded, so he had not discovered the spiritual change in the students of Clinical ss (3).


    The students’ eyes brimming with spirit and confidence moved Qiu Shaobin. Although he was unaware of the oue, he could see that this previously ill-reputed group seemed to have changed significantly.


    At the very least, he could discern the unyielding spirit in their eyes.


    Even though he did not know where this change in the students came from, Qiu Shaobin was somewhat moved.


    "Ah, but exams test knowledge, and what’s the use of just having spirit? Besides, this time the questions are so difficult. I don’t know how well Xiao Yi has taught you. His memory might be good, but yours might not be! I’ve even heard that he’s supposed to re-teach this course, but in the end, he didn’t even finish the lessons! What is this kid thinking? Isn’t this just holding you back?"


    Qiu Shaobin looked down at the students below him, his eyes filled with pity. He could already imagine the wailing that would fill the ss when the grades came out, and he couldn’t help feeling a sense of regret.


    Although Qiu Shaobin was stubborn and hot-tempered, he was actually a really good person. Seeing the spirited look in the eyes of his students, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh.


    "Song Ping! Come here,e over!"


    Qiu Shaobin gestured to Song Ping with a broad wave of his hand and then shrugged his shoulders, taking the lead to leave the exam room.


    "What is it, Teacher Qiu, do you have any instructions?"


    Song Ping looked at Qiu Shaobin with a respectful tone.


    Even though Qiu Shaobin had a temper, he indeed held a good reputation among the teachers, and usually, his words were heeded by the others.


    "Cough cough."


    Qiu Shaobin coughed before raising his eyes to look at Song Ping and said, "Later, for this exam room, the examination invigtion can be a bit more rxed; there’s no need to be so strict!"


    Song Ping, upon hearing Qiu Shaobin’s voice, suddenly widened his eyes in surprise, "Teacher Qiu, you... "


    "Don’t ask too much, justfortably follow my instructions!"


    Qiu Shaobin red at Song Ping, who instantly shrank back.


    "That’s not a problem, but I’ve heard that this ss and the clinical (4) ss are notoriously troublesome. I’m worried that if they get too rowdyter, it could have a bad influence. That wouldn’t be good!"


    Song Ping cautiously regarded Qiu Shaobin, asking in a low voice.


    "I know the limit! I only told you to rx the oversight, not to let them copy to their heart’s content!"


    Qiu Shaobin was truly intimidating when he got angry.


    "Alright, alright!"


    Song Ping quickly responded and then entered the ssroom, as he heard the bell signaling the start of the exam ring.


    "Sigh! I can only help you all up to here. The clinical (4) ss isn’t under my jurisdiction, so I’m powerless to do more!"


    Qiu Shaobin shook his head and then proceeded to enter the ssroom as well.


    The exam finally began. When Xiao Yifei finished distributing the papers in his exam room and stood on the podium, looking down at the students, he couldn’t help but remember his own days of taking exams.


    When Xiao Yifei snapped back to reality and cast his gaze over the students, he noticed something peculiar.


    The students were all frowning with a pained expression as they flipped through their test papers as if the content was indeed harder than he had imagined.


    "Can it be! I can only do one question on this whole set of papers?"


    In the quiet exam hall, a student even uttered such a statement in a low voice. Xiao Yifei heard this and couldn’t help but smile lightly, "It seems this test really is very difficult!"
