It was time-consuming to prepare Japanese dishes. Seeing that they were a large group, the boss served them some tea first.
Qiao Chen picked up her cup and took a sip elegantly.
It tasted alright. Just one sip was enough for her to tell that the tea leaves were of inferior quality.
She had tasted high-quality tea in the Shen Family home. Having tasted tea that cost thousands of yuan for a few hundred grams of leaves, she became pickier. She put her cup down after just a sip and never touched it again. In fact, she despised the Class B students for picking such a low-class place.
But she had always been adept at keeping her thoughts to herself. While unhappy that her classmates picked such a place to celebrate her achievements, she did not show it.
Meanwhile, Xu Xu, who saw that she was just smiling quietly and no longer sipping her tea, asked, “Chen Chen, have you confirmed your place in Qing University’s Music Faculty? Ah, I envy you. I saw that all the other schools have posted their scores, but not Qing University. I was going to show it off to my mom and dad that you made it into Qing University, but I couldn’t find any news of it.”
The moment she mentioned Qiao Chen’s admission into Qing University, the rest diverted their gazes to Qiao Chen.
That was nothing unusual.
Somebody in class had made it to the top institution. Anyone would be envious!
It was just that some of them showed it while others did not.
Qiao Chen felt everyone’s attention on her. Even the store manager was looking her way now. She smiled reservedly and feigned humility. “Mm, it’s confirmed. Professor Cheng Wu told me about it. He said I’ve been selected by the Music Faculty. I just have to wait till the College Entrance Examinations are over to transfer my file.”
“Wow!” Xu Xu was so envious. She rested her chin on her palms and asked excitedly, “Is this Professor Cheng Wu the Finance Department’s Professor Cheng Wu?”
Qiao Chen found her question a mockery. How could there possibly be two Professor Cheng Wus in Qing University? But she kept her composure and feigned patience, replying tenderly, “Mm, it’s that Professor Cheng Wu indeed. He’s Brother Fu’s mentor, and we have met once before. I was lucky to have had a chance to have a meal with him, so I added him on WeChat. When the results were out, he messaged me on WeChat to tell me about it.”
She made it sound like it was not a big deal, while still emphasizing the important parts.
As she expected, the Class B students looked even more envious now.
Cai Yan was a rich second-generation heiress just like her, but her results weren’t as good. Upon hearing this, she was envious and jealous at the same time. She said a little bitterly, “So in the future, Senior Fu Ge and you could be such an honorable couple in school. You guys will be a focal point of your own. Tsk, how nice.”
Nobody in Class B said anything in response, but they were undoubtedly feeling the same.
It was no surprise. She was pretty and had good results, and her boyfriend was an outstanding lad no less. They compared her to themselves, who still had to work hard for the next few months before the College Entrance Examination. The difference was stark…
The atmosphere got a little heavy.
Qiao Chen tried to ease the tension and picked the cup up to conceal her smile. She appeared embarrassed as she said, “You guys have to stop making fun of me.”
Ever since Zhao Jingwei had been sentenced, Xu Xu had become her top lackey. She supported whatever Qiao Chen said. She added, “Even without Senior Fu Ge, Chen Chen would still be a beautiful focal point on her own in Qing University. I bet there will be a new belle in Qing University once the next semester starts.”
It was obvious which belle she was referring to.
Upon mention of the school belle, someone in Class B recalled. “Oh, right. I heard Qiao Nian from Class A sat for the examinations as well.. We haven’t heard anything from Class A’s side.”
