131: A face slap to everyone

A face slap to everyone

With several thoughts running through his mind, Wei Guozhi's fatigue and sleepiness were gone in an instant as his blood started to boil from excitement. 

He thought that it might take three years for the girl to enter the Research Organization but as the Nation's Top Scorer and the only person to get a perfect score this time, she would be much more likely to enter if she could pass the Research Organization's examination this year, which is given every two years.

"You still haven't answered my question," Principal Ren suddenly remarked, getting his attention back to the call. 

"What was your question again?" 

"What's your relationship with the girl?" Principal Sun repeated. 

"My relationship with her? Well—" Wei Guozhi was just about to answer when he finally realized why his friend had called him, "Ren Ping, are you calling me to poach the girl to your university? That child had written my number on her guardian's information, didn't she?" 

"What poach?" Ren Ping laughed on the other end of the phone, "That word is too heavy. I'm just going to remind her to consider Laozun University. Besides, the top two scorers had filled in Capital University as their intended school, how can we just let these good seeds be all in your hands?" 

"Who's the second placer? Wait, let me check," Wei Guozhi remarked as he opened the page for the overall ranking of the National College Entrance Examination. 

Seeing the name 'Jiang Yue' on the very first row still manages to make him astounded. 

When his eyes moves to the next row, he couldn't help but be stunned this time. 

'That child was able to grab the second place?'

Wei Guozhi thought to himself as he didn't anticipate Jiang Xiu to be in second place overall.

"Don't even think about poaching either of the two girls, I doubt they'd accept your offer anyway," Wei Guozhi said to the phone, causing Principal Ren to grit his teeth. "Thank you for calling me anyway, now I have to go through tens of calls."

Wei Guozhi hung up the phone.

For the past years, he would also try to reach out to the top-performing students of the National College Entrance Examination and it was only recently that he delegated the task to the Vice Principal of Capital University.

He didn't think that the child would put his number as her guardian, thus he never expected to be one day on the receiving end of such calls from other universities and colleges trying to persuade him to enroll his disciple at their universities.

It was already around 4 o'clock in the afternoon when Jiang Yue returned to the condominium.

Jiang Xiu seeing her finally come home, couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister! Have you seen your results already? It's all over the internet and Weibo." 

Jiang Yue placed her bag on the center table and shook her head, "No, I already know what my score will be." 

"Ah," Jiang Xiu, who had been so thrilled and elated, had not expected that response from her, and it was only then that she remembered her sister had once claimed that she would obtain a perfect score.

Seeing that she might probably have popped her sister's bubble of excitement, Jiang Yue couldn't help but be guilty so she asked, "Have you found out your rank yet?" 

Jiang Xiu became giddy again, "Yes! Sister, I'm the second placer in the overall ranking! My name is right next to yours!" 

Jiang Yu grinned as she patted the girl on her head, "See? I knew you'd do well." 

"Really? Oh right, several universities and colleges have already called me, asking me to consider their schools, and they have also inquired about you. I told them that our decision has already been made."

"I noticed that you've improved in all of the subjects," Jiang Yue said.

She turned on her phone, which she had turned off a while before because it had been ringing the entire time she was in Allico Intelligence, and said, "Don't entertain those calls anymore."

"I know," Jiang Xiu nodded, "our friends and all of our classmates had already called me to congratulate the two of us, but they couldn't reach you, so they asked me to pass their congratulations on to you."

"I'll reply to their messages later." 

Jiang Yue opened her Weibo only to find that almost all of the discussions were about the National College Entrance Examination, which is already expected as millions of students and people were looking forward to the results. 

The first trending topic with millions of discussions was about 'The very first student to have a perfect score on the National College Entrance Examination'. The second trending topic with millions of discussions as well was titled, 'The joke of Weibo became the Nation's Top Scorer'. Then the third one which was 'The student who claimed to get a perfect score managed to make it happen!' 

The fourth trending topic was 'The first and second placer of the National College Entrance Examination are sisters' and the last one was titled 'Student who had gotten a perfect score was able to finish the examination in all subjects more than 30 minutes early!'. 

The posts by the other students talking about how Jiang Yue had claimed she will get a perfect score and the other posts that testified that the girl passed her examination papers early became popular once again. 

The posts that have thousands of likes and comments now have tens or hundreds of thousands of likes and comments. The girls who had posted those to ridicule Jiang Yue would never have thought that it will instead boost the girl's popularity. 

Aside from the fact that Jiang Yue is the Nation's Top Scorer and the first person to have a perfect score, what amazed and impressed people was that she was able to finish her examination in all subjects more than 30 minutes early, and the fact that she claimed she would have a perfect score proves that the girl knows exactly what she is capable of.

Hundreds of people who had mocked her and labeled her as a liar, narcissist, and humbug because she stated she would achieve a perfect score had realized she wasn't blowing her own horn.

She only stated those words as she knew that she would be able to get a 750 score. 

This truth was a slap in the face to everyone who had previously mocked her.

However, it didn't end there. 

They never thought that Jiang Yue, the joke of Weibo, would be able to make everyone regret what they all had done.
