Chapter 811: Waiting to Stumble

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Yao noticed Gu Zi was becoming increasingly irritated. After a moment of contemplation, she decided to come clean. “Gu Zi, after you came to see me yesterday, Aunt Cui came by. She wanted to know how I knew you. I noticed her attitude had changed drastically, so I thought I could use your influence to my advantage. I lied to her…

“Gu Zi, I didn’t mean to. I just couldn’t think of a better solution. I only wanted to appease Aunt Cui. I didn’t have any ulterior motives.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Zi’s anger subsided. It turned out that Zhang Yao’s distraction wasn’t due to a lack of interest in her job, but because she had lied about their relationship. “So, for this, should I call you clever or foolish?”

Zhang Yao was somewhat puzzled by Gu Zi’s words, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at Gu Zi. “Gu Zi, aren’t you angry?”

Gu Zi replied, “If your lies about our relationship don’t harm me, why should I be angry? Just be sure to know your limits. Sometimes, extraordinary measures are necessary against despicable people. Yet, you lost your nerve because you resorted to such measures. You were worried and scared. Zhang Yao, I wish you could be more composed.”

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Yao understood. She nodded her head in gratitude and began to focus on her work. “Gu Zi, thank you. I will work hard. Could you please tell me about my work tasks?”

At that moment, Li Hua entered through the small back door that Gu Zi had just opened. Gu Zi introduced Li Hua, “I am a major shareholder of the shop. This is the boss. Discuss your work tasks with her. Hurry up, I’m going to buy some fruits and vegetables nearby. I’ll be leaving when I return.”

Since she had to bring Zhang Yao in the morning, Gu Zi had scheduled her work for the afternoon. As usual, she dropped Lele off at Grandma Gao’s house. She had planned to buy all the fruits and vegetables for the week while she was out. The shop was located in a busy area, making it convenient for shopping.

The invigilating teacher walked in with the sealed test papers, and the room fell silent instantly.

Su Bing glanced over and noticed that their class’s supervising teacher, Teacher He, was the invigilator. Originally, it was supposed to be Teacher Du leading the team today, but due to an unexpected matter, another math teacher was entrusted with the task, given that it was only the preliminary round. Before leaving, however, Teacher Du had specifically sought out Su Bing, urging him to do well in the exam.

Upon receiving the test paper, Su Bing immediately began to read the questions. His mother had taught him to quickly skim through the questions from start to finish upon receiving the paper, to get a sense of what lay ahead. Su Bing was accustomed to this and quickly finished reading the questions, his expression becoming somewhat complex.

On the stage, Teacher He happened to be looking in Su Bing’s direction. Her gaze was not one of cherishing talent like Teacher Du’s, but rather, it was filled with intense hostility. She had heard from her close colleague, Teacher Zhou, that Su Bing was from the countryside. A child from the countryside who had skipped grades and dared to participate in a math competition, as if he was incredibly talented.

But how could this rural child know that the questions in a math competition were not like regular math problems? They were designed to train top-level thinking. She didn’t believe that Su Bing could handle it. As expected, Su Bing had yet to start writing his answers. This further solidified Teacher He’s belief. This rural child was just waiting to stumble!
