He Yidu looked at Gu Mang. She had always been very mysterious. If she had not come to Ming City High School, there would not have been so many incidents. Sheng Ting’s choreographer, Lan Ting’s designer, and the top scorer on the national joint exam ten years ago. All of these things about her past had been a secret. They only knew that her medical expertise was not bad.
She abided by the school rules in Ming City High School and kept a very low profile. However, some people would be ignorant enough to go against her.
Lu Chengzhou grabbed her hand and said gently, “There’s only one period of class left. Ask for permission to leave early and we’ll go out for a meal.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows slightly and the chilliness in her eyes faded. “Sure.”
Qin Fang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that big boss was alright.
…
After the Ministry of Education had clarified Gu Mang’s results, the trending topics surrounding Gu Mang died down instantly and nobody noticed that anything was off. Even Gu Yin’s phone remained silent.
When the results were announced at 4P.M. all the relatives asked her about her results. Yet, they were all quiet now. When Gu Yin returned to the Lei residence that night, she was taken aback to see a group of people in the living room.
“Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt,” she obediently greeted them and left her school bag on a stool.
Upon hearing Gu Mang’s results, Old Master Lei, who was almost a hundred-year-old, had never felt more regretful. He did not even have any appetite during dinner.
When he looked at Gu Yin now, his dejection faded a little. Although Gu Yin was not as great, she was doing well.
He calmed down and introduced the man in a suit on the opposite end of the sofa to Gu Yin. “He is from Capital University and is a teacher from the medical school’s admission office who paid us a visit.”
All schools extended olive branches when they came across top students.
Most would choose to act first. If they were to wait for the actual interview, there would be too many uncertainties. The results were only released in the afternoon and the teacher from Capital University was already here. How fast!
Gu Yin politely greeted. “Hello, teachers.”
The chief was a teacher surnamed Xu who had a pretty good first impression of Gu Yin. “Your uncle passed your information to our medical school a long while ago. Your performance on the joint exam this time around was outstanding too.”
Gu Yin smiled humbly. “710. I didn’t even get into the top ten of the nation and there is another one who scored full marks for everything. It depends on who I am being comparing with.”
She was ranked nineteenth nationwide whereas Gu Mang scored thirty marks more than the student who ranked second. The moment Gu Yin said that, the expression on the Lei family members’ faces became interesting. They purposely ignored Gu Mang’s results but did not expect Gu Yin to bring it up on her own accord.
They had just calmed down and yet now their chest felt tighter from anger which made them more uncomfortable.
Upon hearing that, Teacher Xu knew that Gu Yin was good at studying and was even more satisfied with her. “That student is peerless. She was already the nation’s top scorer at seven-years old.”
Gu Yin gripped her fingers tightly and smiled. “Teacher, may I ask why you guys did not look for her first?”
Teacher Xu looked at Gu Yin and chose not to give her a perfunctory reply. He said honestly, “All the top schools in the country want her to attend. However, she will probably choose better universities that are overseas.”
Although the country was developing fast, it still could not keep up with other countries in terms of tertiary education. However, they were trying their best to catch up.
Gu Yin hummed a “mm” in reply and paused before replying, “I would like to ask you a question.”
Teacher Xu nodded.
“If I join Capital University’s medical school, can I become Honorary Dean Yu’s disciple?” Gu Yin made no attempts to mask her ambitions.
Yu Zhongjing was the leading academia in medicine and had a place in the medical organization.
The corner of Teacher Xu’s lips twitched as he tried to say something. Eventually, he replied with much difficulty, “I’ll say this but don’t spread it. It’s best that you guys forget what you hear.”
