Chapter 167: She has A Genius in Her Home
Appealing for a rechecking of the results only happened when the candidates disagreed with the results they were handed with.
What does this have to do with me?
“She’s fourth in our course,” Ma Linlin remembered it clearly. “She lost out to you by two or three marks.”
“She accused Xiangxiang’s results as illegitimate?” Tao Manni’s sleepiness burned away as she asked fiercely.
“She did not say any names. But she told a sob story of how she worked hard, and only slept for five hours a day, and only studied all the time. She said that the results must be wrong, since she could not even win against someone who was not there most of the time,” Zhu Yuan explained furiously.
She might not say that Yun Xiangxiang’s results were illegitimate, but any imbecile could glean the hidden meaning. If her results had no problem after the recheck, that would mean Yun Xiangxiang’s results had something amiss.
“She’s forcing you to apply for a recheck,” Feng Xiaolu angrily chewed off her bread.
Yun Xiangxiang was a public figure that had a lot of eyes on her. If Yun Xiangxiang refused to apply for a recheck, only G.o.d knew how many would gossip behind her back.
“What they want to think is none of my business. They are questioning the lecturer who checked the papers,” Yun Xiangxiang refused to waste her breath on such a trivial matter.
“Absolutely not,” Tao Manni said to Yun Xiangxiang sternly. “The graduates’ film festival this time is held in our school. If you overlook this and let them slander us freely, how are we supposed to gain votes for you during the festival?””
Yun Xiangxiang actually did not care about this herself. It was impossible for her to be loved by everyone. Sooner or later, there would be voices of dissent.
When she saw how Tao Manni and the girls valued this more than she did, and when she thought how they worked hard so that she could s.h.i.+ne in the film festival, Yun Xiangxiang could not put this aside either.
Even so, she could not apply for a recheck either.
That girl did not say any names. She would incriminate herself if she panicked and went to prove herself.
Besides, she was also a public figure. Doing so would give off the vibe of being a cla.s.sless snowflake.
At this moment, no matter whether she applied for a recheck, gossip would ensue.
Tao Manni and the others did not look too great precisely because they had thought of this.
They would let it slide on most days. Everyone had a few haters. They did not ask everyone to love Yun Xiangxiang either.
It was them stirring things up during the critical moment of graduates’ film festivals of all times that irked them. They were harming Yun Xiangxiang’s popularity.
It was not too much of an effect, but it would ruin their chances with new fans. It would jeopardize the votes in the festival.
“Which subject is her specialty?” Yun Xiangxiang asked Ma Linlin
“Her math results are excellent. Full marks in the entrance exam. Her math results are also the highest in the final exam,” Ma Linlin replied instantly.
“Math, is it?” Yun Xiangxiang said pensively before turning around to exit the room.
“What is Xiangxiang going to do?” Tao Manni and the girls were befuddled.
The first step to appeal for a result recheck was to go to the course department’s office. Zhu Yuan already knew that. It was obvious that this third cla.s.s’ cla.s.s president had gone there.
She would have to go through the verification process in the office. She should be in the office as of now.
Yun Xiangxiang was already hastening her footsteps. Even so, everyone who saw her when she was pa.s.sing by still felt that she was sauntering.
There were quite a number of people in the course department’s office. Yun Xiangxiang knocked on the door. The lecturers who were there looked in her direction.
The department’s head asked, “Why did you come here, student Yun Xiangxiang? You are not allowed to apply for a leave on the second day.”
He was very satisfied with Yun Xiangxaing’s results. Even if that was the case, he still could not allow her to take a leave on the second day of school.
“Don’t worry, Teacher Hou. I am not here to apply for leave,” Yun Xiangxiang still found it familiar to call the dean as ‘teacher’.
Her pair of clear, mesmerizing hazel eyes swept over the tall girl standing at the side, “I am here to register for the school’s math compet.i.tion held early next month.”
The teachers were still worrying about whether Yun Xiangxiang was applying for a leave or finding a fight.
They were hardworking, promising students. As the teachers in the course, they would not want to side anyone. Even so, they would not want to see both of them scuffling against each other.
“You want to take part in the math compet.i.tion?” The dean was happy for a fraction of a second before he realized what was happening. He looked at the president of the third cla.s.s who was standing at one side.
He sighed resignedly. Taking a partic.i.p.ation form from the side, he handed it to Yun Xiangxiang. “Go to cla.s.s quickly after you have filled this in.”
The president of the third cla.s.s was called Du Jing. As a top student in math, she naturally took part in the compet.i.tion as well.
Yun Xiangxiang did not even need to guess to know about this. She registered for it on purpose.
She would step on Du Jing in her best subject before everyone’s eyes in the compet.i.tion.
She would let her know whether her results were true.
Yun Xiangxiang promptly filled in the blanks before handing it back to the dean. She turned around smoothly and left.
The news about her applying to take part in the math compet.i.tion next month right in front of Du Jing flew around the school.
“Xiangxiang, how can you be so cool?” Tao Manni immediately became a fangirl. “That was one tight slap.”
“This jealous drama queen, Du Jing. She thinks our Xiangxiang wants to fight with her. How narcissistic,” Feng Xiaolu grinded her teeth.
She thought that Yun Xiangxiang would be at a disadvantage if Yun Xiangxiang fought with her as a public figure. As a n.o.body, she was not scared to go against Yun Xiangxiang.
She just did not want Yun Xiangxiang to have any good outcomes. Yun Xiangxiang might have offended Du Jing unbeknownst to herself.
“Some people are born feeling insecure,” Ma Linlin could surmise this. “Even she said that she could not sleep much just to study. But Xiangxiang even applied for a leave to film. It’s normal for her to be frustrated.”
“Can’t our Xiangxiang just be a genius?” Feng Xiaolu thought that she was mental.
“Not everyone thinks that an actor is worthy of respect,” Yun Xiangxiang was the one who knew what Du Jing was thinking the most.
For Du Jing, Yun Xiangxiang was the kind of person who chose to fall from grace herself. Du Jing despised actors.
For someone who got into the best university with the best scores like Yun Xiangxiang, Du Jing loathed her for entering the entertainment industry with her looks, instead of going into her so-called ‘cla.s.sy’ career path. She would not let Yun Xiangxiang live well.
When someone dislikes you, everything you do is a mistake to them. They would be sad if you have a good life. They will find trouble with you.
“Xiangxiang, you have to win in the math compet.i.tion!” Tao Manni gave Yun Xiangxiang a death stare that said: Losing is not an option.
“Can’t guarantee first place, but I must win against her,” Yun Xiangxiang smiled confidently.
Du Jing was not a talented kind of person. She was someone who worked hard in her later life. This kind of person was not terrifying.
Yun Xiangxiang’s confidence stemmed not from her underestimation. It stemmed from the genius in her home.
Yun Xiangxiang immediately told Song Mian about this matter after she returned to the Song Manor. She said adorably, “Boyfriend, my honor is on your shoulders now.”
“You go to meet with Sir Yuan first. Leave this to me,” Song Mian nodded smilingly.
He turned around to ask Song Yao to collect all the questions for Qingdao University’s math compet.i.tion over the years.
Song Mian had already circled all the important points of revision for Yun Xiangxiang after she had her dinner and returned from her two hour basics session with Yuan Pingqiu.
