The physics competition club was the school’s ace club, frequently clinching various awards. Students who participated stood a very high chance of being admitted to prestigious universities through early recommendation.
If a student from a class participated in the physics competition club and won an award, the homeroom teacher, in addition to the guiding instructor, would also receive a handsome bonus.
Previously, Teacher Cao had intended to recommend Sun Yan to join, but the physics teacher said that Sun Yan simply did not have the talent for it.
Never did anyone expect that Zhao Chuji would be able to participate in the physics competition club. Teacher Cao’s face instantly contorted, and Sun Yan also wore a look of utter disbelief.
“Teacher, she must have cheated!”
Sun Yan screamed out, “She was still mixing around in the entertainment industry last month, and she only returned to school to study because she couldn’t survive in the entertainment industry anymore. How could she possibly get such good grades?”
“Our Chuji is just beautiful and smart!”
Yu Yao had spent the entire night memorizing strategies for verbal arguments, and now she finally caught the opportunity to put them to use.
“Is your life very miserable? Does envying Chuji like this make your life any better?”
She strictly followed the online argument guidelines: to win an argument, one must perform an aura of superiority and display an attitude of looking down on the opponent from the bottom of one’s heart.
To deal with this occasion, she had specially worn formal attire, applied bright red lipstick, and drawn sharp, upward-arching black eyebrows, striving to make herself look mature, steady, and not to be messed with.
She felt that her outfit was highly effective. When Zhao Chuji came out of the examination room and saw her appearance, she had frozen for a moment. After that, the corners of her mouth would quietly turn upward from time to time, clearly very satisfied with this look of hers.
Thus, she let out a cold snort, placed her hands on her hips, straightened her spine to stand in front of Yu Yao, and looked disdainfully at Sun Yan…
“If you are weak, you need to study more!”
“I envy her?”
As if her tail had been stepped on, Sun Yan continued to scream, “She is just a smelly country bumpkin with no father and no mother, who has nothing going for her but a face. Who knows what kind of underhanded means she used to come to our school, and I would envy her?”
Yu Yao had been constantly warning herself that losing one’s temper is the absolute taboo in a fight; all the strategies told her that the moment one gets angry, one truly loses.
But Sun Yan was simply too malicious and harsh!
Yu Yao’s face turned red with anger, and her mind went completely blank. She could only look at Zhao Chuji subconsciously: being humiliated to her face like this, she must be feeling very sad…
Yet, the expression on Zhao Chuji’s face was unexpectedly calm.
Her gaze paused for a brief moment on Yu Yao’s flushed face, and she sighed in her heart.
Yu Yao always said that she was a cute and well-behaved girl, but Yu Yao herself was the one who was truly cute. Even her way of scolding people made one unable to hide a smile…
Zhao Chuji did not look at Sun Yan. She took a step forward to meet Teacher Cao’s complicated gaze.
“Teacher, I want to compete with Sun Yan on the total score of this exam.”
“The surveillance cameras in the examination room were turned on. Whether I cheated or not, you can know by rewinding and watching the surveillance footage.”
Teacher Cao was biased toward Sun Yan, so he would definitely agree to this competition.
But human nature cannot withstand scrutiny; she needed to ensure Teacher Cao would have no chance to back out later.
Zhao Chuji then looked toward the physics teacher beside them, “Before joining the club, I would also like to ask you to be a witness.”
“If I win, I want to transfer to another class, and Sun Yan must have a demerit recorded against her once, and she must apologize to me in front of the whole school during the school’s flag-raising ceremony.”
“If I lose, then the matter of Sun Yan bullying me will be completely wiped clean.”
“Chuji!”
Yu Yao frowned and held Zhao Chuji’s hand, internally disagreeing.
In her heart, Sun Yan had to apologize to Zhao Chuji no matter what.
But Zhao Chuji was the victim, and she was the one most qualified to decide how the matter should be handled.
Yu Yao took a deep breath, swallowed the words of obstruction that had reached her lips after all, and leaned close to Zhao Chuji’s ear.
“It doesn’t matter, if you want to compete, then compete. At worst, I will help you transfer to a better school…”
Zhao Chuji’s gaze wavered slightly; Yu Yao had never spoken to her from such close proximity before.
A warm breath carrying a fresh fragrance enveloped her ear. She could not help but feel her spine tingle, and her entire body tensed up.
Yu Yao… smells so good!
It was so fragrant that her entire being seemed to become a little bit out of sorts.
And as expected, Teacher Cao pondered for a moment and actually agreed to it.
In his mind, Zhao Chuji was a backward country bumpkin. Aside from having a pretty face, he could see nothing extraordinary about her.
On the other hand, Sun Yan was not only the class monitor, but her parents were also part of the leadership management of an entertainment company, and they had always been very generous to him.
Sun Yan had received the most excellent education since childhood, so how could she possibly lose to this country bumpkin?
The physics teacher, however, was a bit conflicted. The evidence of Sun Yan bullying her classmate was ironclad, so she should have been severely punished in the first place. Whether Zhao Chuji won or lost, from his perspective, Zhao Chuji was the one suffering an injustice.
However, Teacher Cao’s favoritism was notoriously well-known in the school, so it was not easy for him to point it out directly.
“Then let us go to the Student Affairs Office! After all, this matter involves shifting classes, and we should also invite the teachers of the remaining subjects over to finish grading their exam papers first…”
The physics teacher ingeniously laid the issue open before everyone.
Sun Yan’s eyes flickered, and she glared resentfully at Zhao Chuji.
She did not expect things to become so troublesome. All along, she had maintained the image of a well-behaved and sensible class monitor in the hearts of the teachers. Once this matter spread out, her image would bound to be damaged.
But remembering the disgusted expressions on her parents’ faces when they mentioned Zhao Chuji, she settled her mind again.
Aside from being fans of Zhou Wei, her parents’ company had also invested in that drama The Legend of Slaying Demons. The director had gone to prison, resulting in a massive financial loss.
Zhao Chuji was a bane. She had caused everyone to lose so much money, so she deserved to be taught a lesson in the first place!
“A competition it is!”
Sun Yan held her head high.
Once she won, Zhao Chuji would definitely not dare to stay in the school any longer. As long as she performed well afterward, everyone would forget about this matter as time went on…
The group of people quickly went to the Student Affairs Office.
Inside the Student Affairs Office, a large crowd of teachers was currently grading exam papers. Upon hearing the physics teacher explain the whole story, they knitted their brows one after another.
Facing the condemnatory glances cast over by everyone, Sun Yan looked from her nose to her heart, pretending not to see any of it.
But after a while, she could no longer smile.
The results for the subjects from the previous day had already come out. Adding them up loosely, she was short of Zhao Chuji by nearly twenty points.
Teacher Cao’s brows furrowed.
Sun Yan tensed her face, and her complexion instantly turned pale.
It was impossible for her to lose to this country person!
She exerted her utmost effort to keep herself composed: the few subjects tested today were her areas of expertise, and she could definitely pull the score back…
Through the coordination of the physics teacher, the grades for the subjects tested today also came out very quickly.
No one had expected that Zhao Chuji would score so well; for these subjects, Zhao Chuji had achieved almost perfect scores!
Once the final calculation was done, Sun Yan’s total score was nearly eighty points less than Zhao Chuji’s!
“Chuji! You are truly too amazing!”
The exact moment the total score was calculated, Yu Yao hugged Zhao Chuji excitedly, while Sun Yan, with a pale face, burst into tears right then and there.
She gave Zhao Chuji a fierce glare, ran out of the Student Affairs Office crying, and Teacher Cao walked out after her with a terribly ugly expression on his face.
Yu Yao had vented her pent-up anger and did not care about their attitude at all. She moved forward with full momentum, asking the leadership of the Student Affairs Office for help to transfer classes.
Even though the final grades had not been completely compiled, Zhao Chuji’s scores unswervingly cemented her position as the number one in the entire school.
This was simply a brilliant top talent falling right out of the sky!
With such an incident having occurred, the school leadership naturally did not dare to anger Zhao Chuji’s guardian any further.
Under the recommendation of “X”, Zhao Chuji moved to a new class.
The homeroom teacher of the new class was not very old. Although they did not possess credentials as high as Teacher Cao’s, they were famously known for caring deeply about students and treating everyone equally.
Meeting Teacher Cao’s complicated gaze, Yu Yao took Zhao Chuji and moved their things out of the classroom.
After returning home, she joyfully prepared a grand feast to celebrate for Zhao Chuji, and at the same time, she decided that she would also go to school the next day to watch that insufferably arrogant Sun Yan apologize to Zhao Chuji.
However, just after waking up the next morning, she heard the news brought by “X”
Sun Yan’s parents had overnight processed a suspension of schooling for Sun Yan!
