After reviewing the answers once, the Academic and Research Society confirmed that He Jinghan had scored 98 points without any mistakes. Tang Lin was overjoyed and took a few necessary documents from them, instructing He Jinghan to sit down and fill them out.
However, while He Jinghan’s score was finalized, the results for the other three were not yet available.
Tang Lin furrowed his brow, glancing at the instructors who were grading the papers with a worried expression.
Soon, the scores for Rong Feiyu and Su Yifan were also revealed. Rong Feiyu scored 58 while Su Yifan scored 70. Neither of them had passed the borderline.
Tang Lin and Han Yi wore grim expressions.
Rong Feiyu was on the verge of tears, while Su Yifan’s face turned pale, and his body swayed unsteadily.
‘After preparing for so long, was I still not good enough? Where had 1 gone wrong?’ Su Yifan thought.
Su Yifan self-deprecatingly chuckled and suddenly turned to see Rong Qi sitting next to him, looking relaxed as if she didn’t care. Unable to restrain himself, he whispered, “Rong Qi, aren’t you concerned about your own score? Right now, only He Jinghan has passed.”
Rong Qi blinked and said, “I’m not worried. I don’t even want to pass, to be honest. I have no interest in joining the Academic and Research Society.”
Rong Qi had already married the most outstanding person in the entire capital, Ye Nanshen. She didn’t need to pursue any further academic achievements.
“At least you completed the paper. Aren’t you interested in your own score?” Su Yifan persisted.
Rong Qi shook her head and said, “Not really. 1 just did it casually; it wasn’t that difficult.”
Seeing Rong Qi’s carefree attitude and her boastful tone, Su Yifan couldn’t help but feel angry.
‘How could she have thicker skin than a city wall? What a waste of time.’ Su Yifan thought. He snorted and turned his head away, consoling Rong Feiyu.
Su Yifan thought he wasn’t too embarrassed since he still had Rong Feiyu by his side.
Meanwhile, Tang Lin approached Qiu Yonggen, who was still grading the papers, and asked, “Mr. Qiu, how is it going? Is there something wrong with Rong Qi’s paper?”
Qiu Yonggen shook his head but didn’t answer immediately. However, his expression resembled someone struggling with constipation.
‘Is there something wrong he said? Of course, there is! Rong Qi had somehow managed to get another perfect score!’ Qiu Yonggen thought. He sighed and announced the results, “Rong Qi… perfect marks.”
“What? That’s impossible!” Tang Lin exclaimed. His pupils dilated, and even the frames of his glasses on the bridge of his nose seemed about to fall off.
“I’ve double-checked the answers three times. Take a look for yourself,” Qiu Yonggen said.
Tang Lin’s face showed a range of emotions. He snatched Rong Qi’s paper and began checking the answers again. However, no matter how many times he checked, it was still a perfect score!
Tang Lin’s face displayed an incredible mix of emotions as he stared at Rong Qi, who stood there like a tall pine tree, appearing untroubled.
Rong Feiyu and Su Yifan both gaped at her in disbelief, but she remained completely unconcerned.
Soon, after the members of the Academic and Research Society reviewed Rong Qi’s paper, they announced Rong Qi’s paper as a perfect score with no room for improvement!
Rong Feiyu’s body swayed as if she were about to collapse. This time, she was really in trouble.
“It’s impossible. How could Rong Qi score a perfect 100 on such a difficult test?” Rong Feiyu murmured to herself.
Su Yifan, on the other hand, transformed from shock to anger. He glared at Rong Qi and demanded, “You said you were just doing it casually, didn’t you?”
Rong Qi furrowed her brow. “I did it casually.”
“You did it casually and still got a perfect score?!”
“What’s so hard about that? I’m not an idiot; it’s just a perfect score. What’s the big deal? Do you want to give me an award for it?”
“You!”
Su Yifan was so infuriated.. He felt that he was being embarrassed and thought, ‘Did Rong Qi imply that 1 was an idiot by saying she did it casually?!’
