Chapter 391: Humiliated by Lu Yumo
“In my opinion, there’s nothing to compare. Hang Yuan is sponsored by the Ouyang Family, not to mention that Zhiheng’s family is one of the top families in the jewelry industry. How can an elite school like ours be the same as theirs?”
“Harsh fact, but they are not as good as us in either arts or academics. They couldn’t even answer the Chemistry questions, right? Could they be overestimating their hopes for the final basketball match?”
Lu Yubai rolled his eyes again when he overheard their conversation. He had never felt more relieved that Fu Zhi had decided not to come to this exchange meeting. After all, he had just spent a few minutes with them, yet he already couldn’t bear their big mouths and arrogance. His cousin, who did not like noisy environments at all, would have had a harder time.
He was certain that the next two weeks would be h.e.l.l for him.
After Nian Feiyuan slowly introduced the long cultural history and heritage of their school, Director Liu led the group of people to the gymnasium.
They had prepared a lot of programs to welcome the representatives from Hang Yuan.
Some of the third-year students and parents had been waiting inside the gymnasium for a long time.
There were more than 50 or so chairs in the hall. After all the students from Hang Yuan and their teachers took their seats, Director Liu picked up the microphone and began giving his opening speech to welcome them.
Applause could be heard here and there in the hall.
Fu Zhi and Ye Jiu had claimed a corner of the gymnasium. Both of them kept their heads low, immersed in their own world as they played games on their phones. Song Fang searched around and finally saw Ye Jiu, who had his head on Fu Zhi’s shoulder.
The young man was covered by Fu Zhi’s blanket. He was yawning, and the sunlight that shone through the window highlighted his softness and made his gentleness stand out.
Song Fang let out a sigh of relief and walked up to them. He squatted in front of Ye Jiu, pitched his voice low, and said, “w.a.n.g Yu just broke up with his girlfriend and is not in a good shape. We have a basketball match with Hang Yuan this afternoon. Could you play for him?”
‘Basketball match, huh...’
c.o.c.king his head, Ye Jiu asked, “Will they give us money if we win?”
Song Fang was speechless.
‘Well, there’s a matching brother and sister for you.’
Just as Song Fang started wondering how he could make Ye Jiu play for w.a.n.g Yu, something happened on the stage.
After the dance performance, the microphone was somehow given to Wu Zhiheng.
He cleared his throat, and after ascertaining that the microphone was working fine, he opened his mouth and said arrogantly, “The performances were pretty good, and I’d like to express my grat.i.tude to No.1 High School on behalf of Hang Yuan. Now, back to the topic. As far as the three Chemistry questions are concerned, I still haven’t received any answers from No.1 High School. Although Hang Yuan has decided to continue the exchange meeting...”
Wu Zhiheng scanned the place before continuing. “A lot of people are praising No.1 High School and a certain student on the internet due to their excellent performance in the international Physics compet.i.tion, so I would like to ask again, is there really no one in No.1 High School that could answer the questions? If you guys can’t even answer the simplest questions of our school, don’t you guys think you don’t deserve the t.i.tle?”
He was sitting cross-legged, and the way he talked made him look arrogant.
Not only was he looking down on Fu Zhi, but he was looking down on No.1 High School as well.
Director Liu’s face turned ugly.
The students below the stage were infuriated by his att.i.tude as well. They couldn’t wait to take the answers out and throw them at Wu Zhiheng’s face.
However, Ma Mingquan, who was able to keep his composure in any situation, touched his cup and took the microphone. “You’re Wu Zhiheng, right? Before we give you the answers, I would like you to answer a few questions truthfully. Is that okay?”
Wu Zhiheng nodded.
Ma Mingquan touched his cup again, looked into Wu Zhiheng’s eyes seriously, and asked, “May I know if all the students at your school know how to answer the questions? Or do only you and your friends know how to tackle them?”
“These questions are only available for top students like us. They are not accessible by normal students.”
Wu Zhiheng paused for a moment before adding, “Besides, normal students can’t make heads or tails of these kinds of questions. Only top students like us are able to answer them. In my case, it only took me half an hour to come up with an answer.”
“Alright then.” Ma Mingquan smiled. He looked at the crowd below the stage and waved his hand at Lu Yumo. “You, come on the stage now.”
Lu Yumo walked up to the stage.
Ma Mingquan placed his hand on his shoulder and said, “Can you tell Wu Zhiheng what was your grade in last month’s monthly exam?”
Lu Yumo was stunned. He hesitated for a while before answering, “I was seventh to last.”
“Then can you tell Wu Zhiheng how long it took you to answer these three Chemistry questions?”
“It only took me about four to five minutes after I got the questions.”
Wu Zhiheng froze.
