As night falls, the dormitory where Cai Guizhi lives is still brightly lit. Everyone is sitting around, discussing heatedly, wondering about the mystery of teacher Hu Juan's resignation, and adding a bit of worry about the changes in the school.Liu Xiying's face was full of curiosity and she excitedly shared her gossip, revealing that the school was facing rumors of merging with Nanzhong. This was undoubtedly a shocking news on campus.

Liu Xiying is optimistic about this and believes that merging with a prestigious school like Nanjing Middle School is a symbol of honor for the school.However, Cai Guizhi holds the opposite view and firmly believes that mergers cannot fundamentally improve academic performance.At this moment, Zhang Guimei pushed in the door and severely stopped the late-night discussion. Then she turned off the lights and restored the tranquility of the dormitory.

In the dead of night, Zhang Guimei returned to the children's home, and her dissatisfaction and worries poured out to Fang Qiong.Fang Qiong believed that Zhang Guimei had a strong personality and was easily impulsive when things happened, and suggested that she compromise at the right time, put the overall situation first, and let this class of students become the experimental field for mergers.She emphasized that the reputation of Huaping Girls' High School is closely related to future enrollment, and it is necessary to ensure the college entrance examination scores of the first batch of students to attract more children from mountainous areas to enroll.

Under Fang Qiong's patient persuasion, Zhang Guimei gradually realized the importance of the admission rate, and finally decided to call Zhou Shanqun to agree to the merger.The next day, Principal Huang met with Zhang Guimei and proposed specific conditions for the merger, including only accepting students with satisfactory grades and requiring female high school students to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees.These demands aroused strong resentment from Zhang Guimei, who firmly defended the original intention of the women's high school - to allow every girl to receive equal education and refused to charge students at different levels.She made a vow to lead the female high school students to surpass Nanjing Middle School and achieve the feat of all entering higher education.

However, this military order was issued hastily. Although Zhang Guimei regretted it afterwards, she could only face the difficulties and meet the new challenges of her senior year in high school.Before morning came, Zhang Guimei had summoned all the students downstairs. Faced with the students' slackness, she sternly conveyed Principal Huang's warning, emphasizing that there was no way out and that they must go all out to make a comeback.Under her inspiration, the students rekindled their fighting spirit and made their aspirations.

Faced with the students' unrealistic target scores, the teachers wanted to adjust, but Zhang Guimei insisted on raising the standards, increasing each student's score by at least 100 points.This decision sparked competition among the students, especially between Cai Guizhi and Gu Yu.Gu Yu bravely wrote down a high-score aspiration, and Cai Guizhi was not to be outdone and continuously improved her scores, creating a positive learning atmosphere.

The results of the exam were announced. Although Gu Yu failed, Zhang Guimei was moved by his persistence and hard work.After careful consideration, Zhang Guimei decided to give Gu Yu a chance to make up the exam. At the same time, this storm also made all students deeply understand the meaning of hard work and persistence.
