“No need,” Gu Mang replied concisely.
Meng Jinyang frowned with confusion. “But you have to check it sooner or later. Why not give me your admission pass number so I can help you check?”
As long as her results were out, those who mocked her for scoring zeros in the past would not dare to say anything else.
“Troublesome.” She kept her eyes closed. She was tired and even her voice sounded exhausted. “Wait for the notification.”
Meng Jinyang was bewildered. “Wait for what notification?”
Gu Mang did not respond and merely said, “Tired, don’t disturb me.”
After saying that, she turned to face the wall and put on her earphones.
Xi Yan saw Meng Jinyang returning and stole a glance at Gu Mang who was still sleeping. The corners of her lips twitched. “Gu Mang isn’t checking?”
Meng Jinyang nodded. “She said to wait for a notification but I don’t quite get her.”
Xi Yan pondered for a few seconds. “The school will organize the results in the afternoon and release the results later. Does she mean that?”
“Maybe,” Meng Jinyang turned to look at Gu Mang.
Xi Yan really admired Gu Mang’s mentality. She could be so composed even at this time.
Xi Yan looked at Meng Jinyang. “No worries, we can wait till the afternoon. Qin Yaozhi and your results are impressive. You need to pick a good school this time around. If you have no idea how to select a school, you can ask me. If there are no suitable ones, you have one more chance at the university entrance exams.”
“Got it, Teacher.” Meng Jinyang thought for a moment. She took out her phone and headed outside as she gave Jiang Shenyuan a call.
…
Meng Jinyang and Qin Yaozhi’s results spread to all students’ group chats. The chat groups were abuzz with discussion.
“Can’t believe Ms. Xi’s class haad so many top of the cohort students but fumbled the ball at the most crucial point.”
“Gu Yin is truly formidable. She is the top of the cohort and may even be the top scholar.”
“It’s embarrassing for Class Twenty. Although they are behind by a few points, it’s a fact that they rank lower.”
“Class One has always been powerful and Gu Yin has always been a good student. Perhaps she did not display her full abilities on previous exams and had been waiting for this time.”
“Do you mean that Senior Gu Yin did it on purpose? She was controlling the scores?”
“I heard that those who control the scores are big bosses! I didn’t know our school had someone so powerful!”
Luo Songhua read every message, enjoying the praise for her students.
She smiled and said to Gu Yin, “You’re our school’s top student and both of the top Class Twenty students didn’t score as high as you.”
Gu Yin lowered her eyes and her expression could not be seen. With her lips curled, she said “I got it, Teacher.”
Even though ranking side by side with Yi Chen was not the result that she expected, she finally attained her goal of scoring better than Qin Yaozhi and Meng Jinyang. So what if she was the young mistress of the capital’s Qin family and used to be the top student of Capital University Affiliated High School?
“In the afternoon, the news will announce if you’re Ming City’s top scholar or the provincial top scholar. Wait for the news.” After speaking, Luo Songhua patted her shoulder and said to the students in the class, “Quickly go for lunch. I’ll leave first.”
Gu Yin gently replied, “See you, Teacher.”
Ming City had the province’s best education resources. How could she only be the city’s top scholar? She would definitely be the province’s top scholar.
…
Other classes were dismissed at the same time and Luo Songhua met a few other form teachers at the staircase.
“Congratulations Ms. Luo, your class’s Gu Yin is the city’s top scholar.”
“Our Ming City High School hasn’t had a top scholar in a long while. We always fell behind. Gu Yin truly brought honor to our school!”
Everyone would look better if the school was conferred the honor.
