Because of this, Fang Duo and Ou Ye didn’t want to talk about it too much. Sheng Yang got first place in everything, so they were afraid that she wouldn’t be able to participate in the business war and would feel frustrated.
“Okay.” Sheng Yang didn’t care about the rules. “What’s the first prize?”
Wow!?Ou Ye took a deep breath. His “father” was arrogant, no doubt. The first thing Sheng Yang asked about was the prize.
“I don’t know,” Ou Ye said honestly. “Every year, the organizers make it a mystery and don’t reveal what the reward is, but it must be something good.”
“You don’t know?” Sheng Yang raised her head, looking quite interested. This sense of mystery attracted her, and she seemed a little eager to participate.
However, Fang Duo and Ou Ye were worried. They were especially worried that if Sheng Yang participated, she would feel defeated since this was different from her studies. It mainly revolved around practical skills and required experience.
“Although Yan City High School is the top in the city, the students in the capital won first place last year. Even Han Jingyu barely scraped by at 9th place. Sheng Yue was ranked 13th in our school. In our class, only one student made it to the finals.” Fang Duo pointed to a person.
Sheng Yang looked over. It was a boy named Ling Su from Class 7. He was very talkative and she heard that his family was quite powerful in Yan City.
Ou Ye continued to explain: “I heard the students at Second High School got good grades. Wen Zhiyi got the highest rank last time.”
Thinking that Sheng Yang wouldn’t know much about him, Ou Ye continued to explain, “The Wen family is your rival. Wen Zhiyi isn’t very good at his studies and is a well-known second-generation heir, but God must’ve opened a window for him when he closed the other door. He’s very smart when it comes to business. There are even rumors that his business acumen surpasses your eldest brother’s. Last year, he got fifth place in the National League and beat all the other heirs in the Imperial Capital. Your grandparents were so angry.”
Ou Ye suddenly realized something and pointed at Sheng Yang in surprise. “Dad, did you smile just now?”
Sheng Yang rarely smiled but whenever she smiled, it was refreshing and sweet.
“Yes, she definitely smiled. She’s so beautiful. I saw it,” Fang Duo echoed.
Ou Ye and Fang Duo were wondering what made Sheng Yang laugh. Was Yangyang happy that the Wen family held so much power? No way…
Could it be because Grandfather and Grandmother Sheng were angered because of that incident?

In the middle of class, Sheng Yang walked toward the teacher’s office and bumped into Han Jingyu. He was holding something in his hand. It seemed to be a beautiful gold badge, but Sheng Yang didn’t look at him or the badge.
However, when the two passed by each other, Han Jingyu noticed the registration form in her hand and his expression froze. Then he looked at her, seeming to struggle internally. He finally called out her name in a soft voice, “Sheng Yang.”
He didn’t call her “Student Sheng Yang” because he felt it would make them seem too distant.
Sheng Yang turned and looked at him silently with her amber eyes, looking like a cold kitten.
“Are you going to participate in the business war?” Han Jingyu suddenly asked softly.
