Time flew by. Almost all the candidates present lowered their heads in unison. In the quiet air, there was only the rustling sound of paper.
Unknowingly, an hour had passed. When the supervisors were patrolling the venue to check the answers of the candidates, Mo Zhu caught everyone off guard as she raised her hand to hand in her paper under everyone’s gaze.
The time taken to answer the questions in this competition was just as important as the points. If two teams obtained the same average score in the end, the scorer would add up the time of all the members of the two teams. The group with the lowest time would win.
As it was rare for students to take the initiative to hand in their papers in the past, let alone now that only an hour had passed, the teacher-in-charge came to Mo Zhu in surprise and carefully checked the girl’s name, exam number, and other personal information. After discovering that Mo Zhu had indeed finished answering all the questions on the paper, the teacher looked up and nodded at the invigilator on the stage.
After instructing the timekeeper to record the amount of time the girl took in detail, a dedicated staff member came forward and sealed Mo Zhu’s paper in an envelope.
After answering the questions, Mo Zhu was brought to a resting seat at the side. Her speed at answering the questions was too fast, and she had imperceptibly exerted a lot of pressure on the other students.
Hence, the supervisors discovered a phenomenon. Under the influence of Mo Zhu, almost every student accelerated the speed at which they solved the answers in their hands and wrote quickly on the papers.
A few minutes later, the invigilator from Country H informed the examination team of the competition to come to the scene from backstage.
After handing everyone the test papers that Mo Zhu had just sealed in the envelope with her personal information written on top, the professional teachers from the various countries who were in charge of marking the papers in the special office widened their eyes when they saw the formulas that were filled up on the papers.
What was unexpected was that although Mo Zhu answered this paper very quickly, be it the first or fourth part of the paper, the calculation steps and the results of each question were written in detail and listed very clearly. Therefore, the teachers could clearly determine Mo Zhu’s strength with just a glance.
The teachers divided the work and double-checked all the answers on Mo Zhu’s paper. After a while, everyone reported the results in shock.
When the news reached the invigilator’s ears, even he, who was on the high platform, could not remain calm. He looked up coldly at the girl who was sitting quietly in the resting seat. The invigilator did not expect Country Z to have such a strong student. She had only used an hour to answer all four questions and had even gotten full marks!
At the same time, Huo Xuan was attending a dinner.
They didn’t know who but someone had released the news that Huo Xuan had arrived in the country. In just a day, all the leaders of the organizations in Southeast Asia knew that he had come to Country N personally. Now, in the name of Mi Lai, almost all the influential people who were active in this area attended today’s dinner.
“Mr. Huo, you can’t let this matter rest like this. Back then, when we allowed your subordinates to be stationed in Southeast Asia, we clearly agreed that the East District could be yours, but the West District had to be under our jurisdiction. This time, it was your people who refused to listen to us and insisted on barging into the West District, which led to today’s misunderstanding!”
“That’s right, Mr. Huo. The East and West Regions haven’t been split up for so many years. We’ve been getting along and earning money together. Ever since you took over the East District, many conflicts have happened. I’m afraid we can’t even count them on one hand. We can’t continue like this. If the East and West Regions don’t develop well, it will definitely affect the foreign exchange of our North District!”
“I agree with this point of view too. Mr. Huo, in my opinion, as a citizen of Country Z, you should place all your energy and power in your country. Why do you have to get involved in the mess of Southeast Asia?”
“Mr. Huo, you can’t be so domineering. After all, we still have a lot of subordinates to support. You have to give us an explanation for this!”
Huo Xuan sat on the chair expressionlessly and glanced at everyone present coldly.
His fingers tapped the table lightly. After a while, he looked coldly at Mi Lai, who had not spoken up for him, and said in a low voice, “Tell me your opinion.”
