The guests were all focused, eagerly grabbing drinks.
What etiquette? It didn’t exist! They just wanted one more sip of the divine brew.
Gu Shiyin’s pretty face was burning as she gloomily looked at Zuzi.
Why was she always getting embarrassed whenever she tried to show off her unique tea art?
Zuzi, however, rested her chin on her hand, looking lazily amused at the young ones playing around: Hmm, Ancestor is very easy-going, really didn’t mean to embarrass anyone...
Who could blame them if this Drunken Immortal Wine, aged for thousands of years, was too delicious?
A crisp notification sound rang out from Zuzi’s wrist.
She looked down and chuckled softly, only then realizing she had quite a few unread messages.
The most recent ones were from East Sea Class students, especially Wu Qianman and Wu Minghao, who seemed quite anxious:
"Zuzi, remember to check your exam results, have you forgotten your exam number? I’ll tell you, it’s XXXX..."
"Little Ancestor, you probably forgot the inquiry phone number and website, right? I’ve sent them to you, plus a step-by-step guide, just follow it."
Zuzi’s lips twitched: Was she really that worrisome?
Wu Qianman: "Never mind, Zuzi, should I check for you? After all, you can’t use a phone, and a smartwatch is inconvenient."
Wu Minghao: "Little Ancestor, forget it, I’ll teach you over video, since you don’t seem to know how to use a computer, and it’s too complicated to handle."
"Zuzi, we need to get the results as soon as possible to plan our applications strategically."
"Little Ancestor, you said, ’Preparedness ensures success, unpreparedness spells doom,’ so we should start researching application strategies early!"
Zuzi: "..." Okay, it seemed she really did make the juniors worry.
Scrolling back through the chat history.
About half an hour earlier.
Bao Gucheng sent a message: "Want to know your exam results in advance?"
The results portal wasn’t open yet, and Xiao Cheng had access to the results? As expected of Xiao Cheng.
Truly the most outstanding boy Ancestor has ever met.
Zuzi raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, then replied: "Hmm, yeah. Send it over, Xiao Cheng."
Bao Gucheng almost instantly replied: "Are you comfortable with the food at the Gu family’s?"
Followed by a screenshot from the exam results database.
A string of numbers followed Zuzi’s name, remarkably the original data found in the high school exam confidential results database!
Zuzi glanced over it: "It’s just okay. These numbers seem off."
"What’s wrong with them?"
"Hmm, here, and there." Zuzi pointed out that the scores for two subjects seemed incorrect.
Bao Gucheng replied solemnly: "I’ll verify it, wait for me."
Zuzi didn’t really care: "...Hmm, no need to go to such trouble, they’re just a few numbers, why be so serious, Xiao Cheng? Xiao Cheng?"
The atmosphere had become even livelier.
"Wow, it’s exactly eight o’clock; it seems like the exam results can be checked now?"
"Mr. Gu, your family has three... no, four high school graduates, tonight might be four-fold happiness for you."
"Haha, thanks for the kind words!"
"Wait—why does it seem like the inquiry website crashed? The phone lines are busy too?"
Everyone heard for the first time that checking results could crash the official channels.
And so they waited, for almost half an hour.
Gu Pinting was on edge, she had promised to be the first to reveal her stunning results to her grandfather and everyone for applause. For original chapters go to NoveI-Fire.ɴet
"Aunt, do you have any internal connections to ask what’s going on with the Ministry of Education?"
Gu Shiyin pursed her lips: "No need to ask, in situations , either someone with great influence is altering scores at the last minute before they’re published..."
"Or someone achieved a miraculous score, and it’s being manually verified. Pingting, you have a good chance."
