Chapter 390: Every Student Answered The Questions
Wu Zhiyou got home later than Wu Zhiheng after their quarrel and b.u.mped into Ouyang Ya the moment she stepped into the house.
Ouyang Ya did not want to have anything to do with someone who had a lower social status than her. However, since she still needed help from the Wu Family, she swallowed her pride and said, “It’s been a long time since we last met, Zhiyou.”
“Well, unlike me, you’re a busy woman. We won’t be able to see you unless you have something for us to do.”
“Zhiyou!” Wu Zhiheng’s face sank.
Wu Zhiyou paid him no mind. She gave Ouyang Ya a faint smile and went upstairs.
“I apologize for my sister, Ms. Ouyang. She’s spoiled, and I promise you I will knock some sense into her head later,” Wu Zhiheng explained.
Ouyang Ya had not been treated like this for a long time. Although she was not happy with Wu Zhiyou’s att.i.tude, she still offered Wu Zhiheng a smile and said, “It’s fine. She’s still a kid, but it seems to me that she’s not very happy.”
“I think it’s because of the three Chemistry questions this morning.”
“What do you mean?”
To satisfy Ouyang Ya’s curiosity, Wu Zhiheng ran her through everything that had happened in No.1 High School. He thought Ouyang Ya would praise him, but after she heard him say that he was not going to the exchange meeting, her expression changed.
Just as she’d expected, Wu Zhiheng tended to get drunk on pride if she wasn’t there to take care of him.
For Ouyang Feng to take her in as his disciple, she had to win the compet.i.tion. Well, she had made some preparations for this compet.i.tion.
She had gone through all of No.1 High School’s exchange meetings with other schools in the past. Generally, the students would compete against each other in the form of a talent show or examination. She was confident that No.1 High School would not accept its defeat, and the three Chemistry questions were just an appetizer she had used to motivate Hang Yuan as well as humiliate Fu Zhi.
As the saying went, one should look at the master first before hitting the dog. Ouyang Feng was the princ.i.p.al of No.1 High School, and regardless of whether he had been working in No.1 High School over the past few years, Ouyang Ya’s monkey business and Wu Zhiheng’s open provocation to the students of No.1 High School were two very different things.
Ouyang Ya wanted to win the compet.i.tion so that Ouyang Feng would take her in as his apprentice. Therefore, the last thing she wanted was for Ouyang Feng to learn about the commotion that they had caused in his school. She did not want him to think the worst of her.
That said, she did not want to hurt Wu Zhiheng’s feelings either.
Therefore, she said, “You’re her brother, so you have to set an example for her. Anyway, it’s my fault. I should’ve antic.i.p.ated the outcome, or your sister wouldn’t be mad at you. How about this? I will call No.1 High School’s princ.i.p.al later and tell him that the exchange meeting will be held on Monday as scheduled. All you guys need to do is beat them fair and square. I believe you can do it.”

Meanwhile, in Cla.s.s 21...
Zhou Zihuai was still trying to answer the three Chemistry questions. Song Fang came into the cla.s.sroom and said, “Zhou Zihuai, look at the forum. Lu Yumo seems to have found the composition of the medicine mentioned in the questions!”
Song Fang put his phone in front of Zhou Zihuai before adding, “I’m not sure if it’s true or not. Why don’t you try to use this composition and see if you can come up with a chemical equation? We must not let Wu Zhiheng look down on us. We have to get back at him hard!”
“It’s not just the composition of the medicine. There is too much jargon in these questions that doesn’t have much to do with the calculations. I can’t figure out the chemical equation for it, and I’m a little confused about what it’s asking me to find. I’ll try again.”
Zhou Zihuai frowned.
Not only did these three Chemical questions involve medical knowledge, but they were at university-level difficulty. Zhou Zihuai was not an idiot, so he did not believe that these three questions had been taken from Hang Yuan’s test paper.
He had been in the arena this morning, so he had seen how arrogant Wu Zhiheng was. He was the representative at this exchange meeting, and if even he could not answer the questions, none of the students in their school would be able to do it.
He clutched his hand tightly and took a look at the composition of the medicine. He lowered his head, picked up his pen, and began to calculate.

It was 2:00 p.m. by the time Fu Zhi arrived at school.
Ye Jiu was sleeping in their house.
There were very few students walking around the school at this time, as they were all preparing for the afternoon cla.s.s session.
When the security guard saw Fu Zhi, he let out an “ah” and then said hastily, “Photo! Photo!”
“?”
“Someone took your photo. These are the negatives you left at school. Director Liu asked me to develop the photo and put it on the bulletin board in the arena. Since you’re here, can you do it yourself? I still have a talent show to watch.”
Fu Zhi nodded and took the photo from the security guard’s hand. The security guard immediately turned his head back and focused on his phone. Seeing that he was not going to say anything else, Fu Zhi blinked and walked toward the arena.
She remembered that the exchange meeting was set to take place at 2:00 p.m. this afternoon. Thus, she decided to go into the arena through the back door.
As soon as she arrived, she saw the three Chemistry questions on the blackboard.
When she saw the Yellow Sodium Benzoate Pills, she raised her eyebrows in shock.

Everyone in No.1 High School, both teachers and students alike, was filled with disappointment.
The teachers tried to seek help from their friends that were working in a hospital, but none of them could answer the three questions.
The exchange meeting was considered a big event, and in the past, it used to be covered by the local press and media. If none of them could answer the questions, the exchange meeting would be canceled, and if it made the headlines, the students and staff from No.1 High School would not be able to lift their heads in front of other high schools in the future.
No matter how reluctant they were to admit it, Hang Yuan High School had shown its ruthlessness.
Director Liu called Ouyang Feng to report the progress of the exchange meeting.
He seemed rather dejected, while Ouyang Feng was rather unperturbed. “I’ve received a call from Hang Yuan, and they said the exchange meeting will go on as scheduled. There’s nothing to worry about. We still have Fu Zhi on our side.”
“But she’s not that good at Chemistry...”
“Now that you mentioned it...” A Chemistry teacher smacked the table and said, “Didn’t a group of bigshots in the medical field support Fu Zhi and say she didn’t copy from Z G.o.d’s journal? Why don’t we ask Fu Zhi to seek help from them? Maybe they have the answer to these three questions!”
“Why didn’t we think of that? If they can help us, I’m sure we will be able to answer the questions!”
As the group of teachers was talking, the Chemistry teacher from Cla.s.s 21 suddenly shouted and raised her phone. “Quick! Take out your phones and look at our forum! Someone has answered those three questions!”
“What? Are you sure about that?” Director Liu asked.
“Yes! Our students have answered the questions!”
Every teacher took out their phone and checked the forum.
Initially, they thought only one student had managed to answer the questions, but...
They realized that many students were uploading their answers on the forum, and the number of replies was still increasing.
“What is happening? Did they find the answers on the internet? But I didn’t find anything on the internet...”
Xia Min, the Chemistry teacher of Cla.s.s 21, shook her hand and said, “Nope. They didn’t get the answers on the internet. Look at the top reply. Someone has written out the composition of the medicine on the blackboard where Wu Zhiheng wrote the three questions. Not only that, but they also left a thorough explanation, chemical equations, and the formulas related to the three questions! It’s like spoon-feeding the answers to us, and even Lu Yumo is able to answer the three questions, let alone Zhou Zihuai and Lu Yubai!”
The rest of the teachers looked through the explanation and exclaimed, “This is... such a thorough explanation! Even I can answer the questions now!”
“There are different masters in different fields. Without these explanations, we wouldn’t have been able to answer the questions no matter how much we racked our brains!”
“But who wrote the explanation?”
Everyone fell silent.
After a long while, someone said, “Could Fu Zhi have already sought help from those friends of hers in the medical field?”
Director Liu had not hung up the call yet. When he learned that those three questions had been answered, he said, “Princ.i.p.al, good news! The students of our school have answered the questions!”

Fu Zhi went to the market to buy some milk candy after school. There were three big babies in her house right now, and she felt like a mother. She had to take care of them and comfort them with milk candy every day.
Fu Zhi looked at her savings account and felt as if someone had stabbed her heart. She had come to the market so many times that even the cashier recognized her. She smiled at her and asked, “Did you buy candy for the kids at home again?”
“Yeah.” Fu Zhi nodded. Then, she added, “They are not kids.”
Well, the cashier could not be blamed. After all, the milk candy she bought was for babies.
“This candy is for grown-up babies.”
The cashier was stunned, but she soon came back to her senses. “Ha ha... You’re so funny.”
Fu Zhi sighed. Just as she put the milk candy in her bag, she received a call from Lu Yumo. He told her that someone wanted to meet him to discuss a business deal.
In fact, quite a lot of people had been wanting to cooperate with Lu Yumo recently, and it seemed to her that “Definitely Not A Dishonest Shop” had finally gained a place for itself on Taobao.
Even though the selling price of their medicine was exceptionally high and they did not accept any bargaining, due to the 1,000 super-rich supporters, their sales performance every month was unreachable by other shops.
She was certain that these people just wanted to get an offer or talk about a business opportunity, and she did not like it.
After all, was 30,000 yuan for a pill an expensive price?
It was not that expensive at all, right?
Fu Zhi then replied, “I already have a boyfriend, so say no to him.”
Lu Yumo was stunned. He seemed to have heard something big, and it occurred to him that he finally could have the chance to break Fu Zhi’s legs.

The exchange meeting between No.1 High School and Hang Yuan was held at the end of the month.
First-year and second-year students were off for the holidays, and as for the third-year students, although they still had to come to school, they did not have many things to do either.
After Ouyang Ya sent Ouyang Feng a message, as the organizer of the exchange meeting, No.1 High School could only treat the previous provocation as nothing to make themselves look good in front of the cameras.
In order to accommodate the press, a comprehensive cleaning had been carried out the day before, and No.1 High School had prepared a few mini shows as well. The students of the school had been informed that those interested in the exchange meeting could put on their school uniforms and bring their parents to visit the school with them.
At eight o’clock in the morning, nine Land Rovers that symbolized the grandeur of Hang Yuan High School slowly drove into the campus of No.1 High School.
Ouyang Feng was having a training session at the Ouyang Family’s base, so it was Director Liu and Ma Mingquan who welcomed the representatives from Hang Yuan. Zhou Zihuai, Lu Yubai, and a few other students were holding a big welcoming banner. Even though all of them had a smile on their faces, they were rolling their eyes inwardly.
Director Liu pulled at Lu Yubai and said, “Smile! Everyone is looking at us through the cameras. If you don’t smile, I will give you a demerit!”
Lu Yubai waved the welcoming banner in his hand.
Ouyang Ya and Wu Zhiheng came out of the first Land Rovers.
As the team leader, Ouyang Ya went up to Director Liu and shook hands with him. Then, she pointed at the teacher behind her and said, “This is Director Nian Feiyuan. He used to be the princ.i.p.al of an elite school. This is Liu Weiwei. She’s the Head of the Chemistry Department at our school. This is Wu Zhiheng. He’s an elite student of our school...”
Ouyang Ya had brought all the 20 students and 2 teachers to No.1 High School this time to show her respect for Ouyang Feng.
After she finished exchanging pleasantries with Director Liu, she gestured at Nian Feiyuan to take the baton.
Wu Zhiheng took a few steps back and talked to several students behind him. “Although No.1 High School is a public school, their equipment is not as good as ours, and their best teacher is a postgraduate student. There’s nothing a postgraduate student could teach.”
The several students nodded and looked at the surroundings of No.1 High School in disdain.
“Their environment is not as good as ours either!”
“They also said there were going to be some performances? We only watch the performances of a renowned international dancing team, okay?”
