Chapter 444: Qiao Chen and Fu Ge Were Shamed

Fu Ge and Qiao Chen were stunned after hearing what he said.

First place? Qiao Nian? Was there a mistake somewhere?

This was the only thought running through their heads.

Qiao Chen was sure that he had made a mistake. She heard from Wei Ling that Qiao Nian had failed the examinations and would be going back to Rao City. How could she suddenly become first in Qing University’s independent enrollment examination?

Her first reaction was awkwardness. She bit her lip and said in a panic, “She has the same name?”

At least 2,500 students sat for the examination this time. Among so many people from all over the country, it was inevitable that they would meet one or two people with the same name.

“Is it just a coincidence that they have the same name?” Wen Ziyu glanced at her and did not notice her reaction. He put his hands leisurely into his pockets, raised his jaw slightly, and said, “I saw the list of people sitting for the examination.. There’s only one person called Qiao Nian, so I don’t think that this is a coincidence. Furthermore, I don’t think I would make such a mistake! Her grades are unforgettable.”

“Fu Ge’s girlfriend’s grades are also good. I heard she ranked ninth in the examination.” Zhou Yang leveled the playing field. He put his hands on Wen Ziyu’s shoulders and said with a smile, “The higher ranked you are, the closer people’s scores get. I remember that Qiao Chen scored 588 points. Is that right?”

588 points was not considered low. If this score was to be ranked in the College Entrance Examination, it would be ranked quite highly. Not to mention, Qing University’s independent enrollment examination was more difficult than the College Entrance Examination.

Qiao Chen was also very satisfied with her achievement. She thought that her efforts for the past month finally paid off. But the news about Qiao Nian unsettled her. She was no longer satisfied with her results. It was as though a stone was weighing down her heart. It would be hard for her to relax if she didn’t clear things up.

“Yes.”

Seeing that he remembered correctly, Zhou Yang turned his head and said to Wen Ziyu, “Look, Qiao Chen scored 588. I estimate that the first place should have scored slightly more than 600. About 605 or 610?”

Qiao Chen’s face still did not look better. Her fists were clenched tightly by her sides. She couldn’t even feel her nails digging into the palms of her hands. She felt so uncomfortable, as though a hundred ants were gnawing at her heart.

Qiao Nian scored 600 points?

Qiao Chen turned pale.

Who would have thought that Wen Ziyu would brush Zhou Yang’s hand away? He then sneered, refusing to show Qiao Chen and Fu Ge any mercy. He faintly said, “This estimate is based on previous years. This year is different. A genius has appeared in Qing University, and teachers from all departments are going crazy. I heard that when the results came out, Professor Cheng spread the word that the Finance Department would try to get her into his faculty no matter what kind of conditions she set. I think he’s set on recruiting her this time.”

Wen Ziyu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Fu Ge meaningfully and said slowly, “He didn’t like any of the students last year, and he hasn’t brought any students under him for more than a year. It looks like we will be getting a junior very soon!”

If Qiao Nian was really going to be their junior in the Finance Department, Wen Ziyu’s mood would brighten up like a sunny day.

Fu Ge was speechless. Seeing that he was talking to himself, his handsome-looking face turned blue. He stopped himself from having a direct conflict with him.

The Wen Family wasn’t something he could afford to offend. It was a fact that Wen Ziyu was someone he needed to interact with carefully.

He would be able to smoothly enter Beijing’s upper circles only if he had Wen Ziyu behind him.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Fu Family was, they were merely a small family from Rao City.
