The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127: 124 The exam is just to write casually, right? [Update 2]

She didn’t see it happen, so it obviously wasn’t something life-threatening.

It probably wasn’t a big deal, either.

Xiu Yu then said, “Daddy Ying, don’t have too high of expectations. They’ve been following Jiang Ran for so long, they’re always jittery.”

“Just the other day, I don’t know which girls’ bathroom they lurked outside of to eavesdrop, and then they came running to us saying something terrible had happened.”

“Guess what, Daddy Ying?” Xiu Yu shrugged. “Turns out a girl in the third year wanted to confess her love to Jiang Ran.”

Ying Zijin glanced at her little brother: “…”

“Sister Yu, of course, this is a big deal.” The little brother said with heartfelt pain, “Because not only did that senior plan to confess to Brother Ran, but she also brought along a few guys from other schools, thinking to have Brother Ran step in as the dashing hero. Naturally, we had to warn him not to fall for it.”

And it wasn’t even outside the girls’ bathroom; they just happened to pass by on their way to the field.

Even if they weren’t that serious, who has the hobby of specifically eavesdropping outside girl’s bathrooms?

Xiu Yu sighed heavily, speaking gravely, “You should be grateful that you’re following Jiang Ran. If you were under me, I’d have beaten you to Third Level disability by now.”

“Daddy Ying, believe me, it really is a big deal.” The little brother looked sadly at Xiu Yu, “I just passed by the Academic Director’s office, and I saw Old Witch Bai going to see the director.”

“She wants to arrange a separate classroom just for you during the midterms to prevent you from cheating.”

Ying Zijin paused her finger on the phone screen and looked up, “You should also be glad you’re not under me.”

Little brother: “…”

His young heart was deeply wounded.

“Old Witch Bai is sick?” Xiu Yu’s expression cooled, as she looked at the girl, “What do you mean by preventing you from cheating?”

Ying Zijin did not care, offhandedly saying, “Possibly.”

If it weren’t for her little brother bringing it up today, she would have already forgotten who that person was.

“Now that I think about it,” Xiu Yu frowned, “the bet you made with Lu Fang was concerning the Elite Class’s exam paper, and it’s to be taken in the same exam hall as them.”

The Elite Class has its own set of papers, which are notoriously difficult.

What’s more, the focus is on a student’s ability to think flexibly and acquire knowledge beyond the curriculum.

Generally speaking, even if a science experimental class student were to take the Elite Class’s paper, scoring 500 would be quite good.

That’s why Verdant Talented Class’s papers have been dubbed the number one tyrant of the web.

Even the other two top high schools in the capital that are rated with Verdant can’t come close to Verdant’s level of difficulty.

Because the difficulty coefficient is different, when the final scores are tallied, the Elite Class students’ scores are multiplied by 1.2.

In last semester’s final exams, Zhong Zhiwan scored 615, which, when adjusted, equated to 738 points in the overall year ranking.

Thus, she ranked first in her year.

Of course, there were students from other classes who protested this.

The school’s solution was that in addition to the regular papers, students could choose to take the Elite Class’s paper.

But the final scores would certainly be lower than those of the normal paper.

In the many years since the founding of the Verdant Talented Class, not more than five students from other classes have ever chosen their papers.

Ying Zijin’s previous exam score of 387 was not on the Elite Class paper.

This was her first time opting to take the Elite Class exam, which naturally caused quite a stir on the campus forum.

Scoring only 387 on the regular paper, could she possibly score over 100 in total on the Elite Class paper?

“Daddy Ying, Old Witch Bai must be holding a grudge over that biology class incident,” the little brother indignantly said, “after all, she’s getting triple the salary to teach our class than the other classes.”

“It’s nothing.” Ying Zijin put on her headphones again and nodded, “Things won’t go as she wishes.”

Xiu Yu stroked his chin.

Was their Daddy Ying starting to play Fortuneteller again?

Inside the Academic Director’s office.

“Teacher Bai, what you’re asking for is absolutely impossible,” the Academic Director rejected without even thinking, “To do the Elite Class’s paper, she will sit the exam in the same classroom as the Elite Class.”

He was quite angry.

What does it mean to prevent a student from cheating?

The exam hasn’t even started, and you’re already suspecting her?

“Director, you might not be fully aware of this student’s situation,” Bai Shaoshi smiled, unfazed, “When she was in the Elite Class, she was a complete slacker—to the point of driving Teacher He, who is so good-tempered, away. Do you honestly think she will take the exam seriously?”

Besides, the entire second year knows about Ying Zijin’s bet with Lu Fang.

Whoever loses would really lose all face.

“Has the academic affairs director gone mad? What if Ying Zijin really cheats? Sitting smack in the middle, wouldn’t everyone around her become her cheating resource bank?”

“I’m glad I don’t sit there, you be careful to protect your paper.”

“Don’t worry, I finish the papers really fast, I guarantee she won’t even have time to cheat off of me.”

A few classmates were in agreement and decided to speed up their answering during the exam.

As the 9:00 AM bell rang, all the students took their seats.

Except for the seat in the middle, which was still empty.

Because Zhong Zhiwan was the top student in the grade, she sat in the first row, first seat.

She occasionally turned her head to look towards the middle and frowned slightly.

Zhiwan did not know whether Ying Zijin would cheat, but she was sure that even if Zijin did, her results were still going to be pitiful.

She had been worried about this for a few days and now thought it was quite laughable.

It was almost time for the exam and Ying Zijin had yet to show up; she must be afraid.

Zhong Zhiwan shook her head in disappointment.

She bent over to check her stationery, answer sheet, and question papers.

The bell for the 9:30 AM exam rang; accompanied by footsteps so light they were almost inaudible.

As a result, the girl took her seat without the other students noticing.

The invigilating teacher didn’t say anything either, just noticing that this girl had a real knack for timing.

After all, as long as she wasn’t more than fifteen minutes late, the exam could proceed as normal.

Ying Zijin placed her exam admission ticket on the upper right corner of the desk and briefly glanced over the papers before she began writing.

She never once used an eraser from beginning to end and filled out the scantron very quickly.

Ying Zijin then thought to herself that Chinese wasn’t so bad as a subject; there were plenty of multiple-choice questions where she didn’t have to write much.

This was probably the most serious she had ever been about answering questions.

Even when she did experiments with those scientists before, she hadn’t taken them this seriously.

In fifteen minutes, Ying Zijin had finished all the questions on the front page, then flipped the answer sheet over and took a look.

“…”
