Fu Zhi and Ye Jiu returned to No.1 High School in the afternoon.

  Although Ye Jiu was a tad older, before he joined the school, Ye Qi had donated two million to beautify the facilities.

  Director Liu instantly said that No. 1 High School would always welcome anyone who wanted to expand their knowledge, even if Ye Jiu was five years older than the rest of the students.

  Fu Zhi first took Ye Jiu to say hello to Ma Mingquan, as Ye Jiu was going to join his class.

  After running Ye Jiu through everything he needed to know about the school, Ma Mingquan reassured him. “Don’t get nervous when you’re in class. All of them are good kids, and since your sister is their leader, nobody will dare to look down on you because of your age. Besides……”

  He paused for a moment before adding, “You didn’t go to school because of your family issues, but look at Lu Yumo. He’s failed his exam many times and he’s still very proud of himself.”

  Lu Yumo, who was currently being scolded by his teacher in the office, was stunned.

  ‘Did I ever feel proud of myself? How can you lie through your teeth?’

  However, that did not matter anymore. Lu Yumo then told Ma Mingquan, reassuring him, “I will certainly score better than him in the final exam!”

  Lu Yumo had heard the sad story that Ye Jiu had made up.

  He had said that he had been forced into child labor at eight years old and had never gone to school before.

  Even though Lu Yumo had failed his exams, he was not an idiot.

  Ye Jiu looked at Lu Yumo as if he was looking at a clown. Then, he said, “You want to compare grades with me?”

  “Yes. In case someone says I’m bullying you, let’s……”

  “Sounds good to me.” Ye Jiu squinted his eyes. “However, if I score better than you, you’ll have to be my slave. You will need to bring me tea and fetch me water whenever I want, and you won’t say no to me.”

  Fu Zhi tugged at Lu Yumo’s sleeve and shook her head to ask him to back off, but Lu Yumo paid her no mind.

  He could see that victory was waving at him, and he was not happy with Fu Zhi for not standing on his side. “How can you be so protective of him? Do you really think that I will lose to him as well?”

  Fu Zhi said, “I’m doing this for your sake.”

  It was true that Ye Jiu had never attended school, but that did not mean that he had never received an education before.

  Besides, Fu Zhi swore that she was not exaggerating things, but if there was a person in this world that could guess all the answers correctly, that was Ye Jiu.

  “If you’re doing it for my sake, then you should support me!”

  Lu Yumo flung Fu Zhi’s hand away, looked at Ye Jiu, and said, “It’s a deal then! If you’re a man, then man up and stand up for yourself. Don’t always rely on Zhizhi to help you!”

  Ye Jiu nodded and said, “Okay, brother.”

  Fu Zhi did not know what to say anymore.

  Ma Mingquan sent Ye Jiu back to Class 21 first. Fu Zhi stayed behind and discussed with him Ye Jiu’s learning status.

  Qian Wenrui was in the office as well. She perked her ears up and focused on their conversation.

  She had lost a few good students, and Lu Yubai was her final hope. Then, she heard Fu Zhi say, “Well, I can’t say he’s very good at studying. He’s academically mediocre and he has a bad temper. If he does something wrong in the future, you can talk to me and treat me as his mother.”

  Qian Wenrui let out a sigh of relief.

  He did not perform well academically and he had a bad temper. She figured that he was not a good student, so he posed no threat to her students.

  Ma Mingquan nodded and sent Fu Zhi back to her class.

  When she passed by Class 1, she bumped into Mu Chenxi, and the latter’s face darkened the moment she saw her.

  Fu Zhi ignored her and climbed up the stairs. Meanwhile, Mu Chenxi shouted, “Fu Zhi!”

  Fu Zhi continued to ignore her.

  Left with no other choice, Mu Chenxi followed her. “Don’t get so cheeky, Fu Zhi. Even though Pure Feather helped you donate the books to No.1 High School, she will get all the credit in the end, and you won’t even gain anything! You’re just a stepping stone for her to get even more famous!”

  Fu Zhi looked at her as if she was looking at an idiot.

  Mu Chenxi sneered, “Just you wait and see! The day of your retribution is coming!”

  She continued to shout as she followed Fu Zhi. Fu Zhi pushed the door to Director Liu’s office and shouted, “Director Liu! A crazy woman won’t let me go back to my class!”

  Mu Chenxi was stunned.

  Director Liu happened to be looking for Fu Zhi as well. When he saw Mu Chenxi, his face sank, and he said, “Why won’t you let her go back to her class?”

  “I…… She…… We……” Mu Chenxi’s head went blank.

  ‘I was just shouting at her. I didn’t stop her from going back to her class. How can you believe everything she said?’

  Director Liu waved his hand to ask Mu Chenxi to go back to her own class.

  Mu Chenxi’s face turned ugly as she stared at Fu Zhi.

  Director Liu led Fu Zhi into his office.

  “Here’s the thing. I bumped into Mu Changqing when I was coming to school this morning. I’m sure you know him, right?”

  Fu Zhi nodded.

  Director Liu said, “While we were chatting, he told me about Master Pure Feather……”

  Well, it was not a big deal at all. From Director Liu’s perspective, it was Pure Feather who did not want to cooperate with the Mu Family anymore. He did not understand why Mu Changqing had to say it was Fu Zhi’s fault that Pure Feather had chosen not to work with them.

  It was not that Director Liu favored Fu Zhi more. It was just that Fu Zhi was a kid, and how could a kid affect Pure Feather’s decision?

  Pure Feather must have her own reasons for refusing to work with them.

  However, Mu Changqing did not think so.

  Director Liu was not happy either.

  Although Fu Zhi was a problematic student, she was good-hearted.

  Fu Zhi said, “Pure Feather doesn’t want to work with the Mu Family? Well, that’s a good decision.”

  Director Liu was speechless.

  “So I take it that this matter really has nothing to do with you, right?”

  “Look into my eyes, Director Liu. I’m a righteous person. Do you think I would do something as evil as that?”

  ‘Well…… It’s hard to say!’

  Director Liu then said, “Alright then. I will help you tell the Mu Family, but I’m sure you’re well aware of the Mu Family’s status in Yu City. If you really sabotaged the cooperation, then you’d better do something about it. Otherwise……”

  *

  Ye Jiu had only joined Class 21 two days ago and he had become Song Fang’s good friend.

  He looked too much like Fu Zhi.

  All the girls in her class who had asked Fu Zhi to consider them if she was ever ready to enter a relationship turned and threw themselves at Ye Jiu.

  ‘Hah…… Women,’ Fu Zhi thought. ‘They all promised me that they’d love me forever, but they all had a change of heart the moment they saw something new.’

  Ye Jiu was pretty obedient in class, as Fu Zhi had been very strict with him lately.

  She forbade him to curse and did not allow him to drink, smoke, or fight with other people. Not only that, but she also forced him to take his medicine every day.

  As a result, the little prince had not been very happy recently. On Friday, Fu Zhi had no idea what he had done last night, but he suddenly had a high fever and could only lie in bed.

  Fu Zhi took a day off from school to take care of him, so she did not know that something happened in No.1 High School that shocked both Director Liu and the teachers.

  Chapter 388: Three Chemistry Questions Beyond The Scope Of The Syllabus

  The students arrived at school one after another on Friday morning. This day was slightly different from other days.

  The first-year and second-year students were in their respective classes, while the third-year students had no classes today.

  This was because the exchange meeting between No.1 High School and Hang Yuan was scheduled for 2:00 p.m. that day. The life of third-year students was dull, for there was only an endless stream of homework awaiting them every single day. Now that the exchange meeting was around the corner, they finally could take a breather and start looking for information about their opponent.

  “Hang Yuan? It’s an elite school in the capital. Their teachers are better than our teachers, and the proportion of their students that enter university is higher than ours. I heard that the Wu siblings that are leading the team this time also won third place in the international individual mathematics competition and chemistry competition and are even better than Lu Yubai and Zhou Zihuai.”

  “What’s wrong with Lu Yubai and Zhou Zihuai? Have you forgotten that they were part of the team that won the international Physics competition? How can you make light of them?”

  “That said, I heard that they’ve brought quite a lot of students with them this time, and each and every single one of them excels not only at their studies but also at sports and arts. We can compete with them academically, but when it comes to sports and arts……”

  “By the way, doesn’t Lu Chuwan know how to play the piano? She has not come to school for so long. I wonder if the rumors are true. Is she in the reformatory now?”

  “Who knows. Oh yeah, I also heard that Fu Zhi is not taking part in this exchange meeting.”

  They did not know what to say about Fu Zhi. Well, it was clear that she loved her country, but she did not have the time to participate in every competition.

  They’d heard that Lu Yubai and Zhou Zihuai were going to lead the team this time, but everybody was unsure whether Fu Zhi would participate or not.

  “If Fu Zhi participates, then we will have a better chance of winning this.”

  “It’s hard to say. After all, she has only shown her talents for Mathematics and Physics so far, and do you still remember the fight that happened in front of the gate of our school last time? Besides, she doesn’t seem like she knows much about art, and her language paper result was even worse than mine……”

  There were a lot of people coming to the school in the morning, and the group of people could not reach a conclusion in the end.

  At nine o’clock in the morning……

  While the third-year students were speculating whether Fu Zhi would show up or not, a luxury car arrived in front of No.1 High School’s gate.

  Four people—three boys and one girl—emerged from the car. All of them were wearing the uniform of Hang Yuan High School. After they said something to the guard, they marched into the school.

  Perhaps they were from an elite school in the capital. After all, regardless of the uniform they wore or their gestures, they certainly emanated an arrogant vibe.

  “They are the delegates of Hang Yuan? I thought there were 20 or more of them? Why are there only four people?”

  “That girl is so adorable!”

  “Are you sure about that? She’s holding a parasol although there’s no sun. I think there’s something wrong with her brain.”

  “They are heading toward the sports arena. But why? It’s not even time for the competition yet.”

  “Quick, let’s go inform Zhou Zihuai and Lu Yubai! They must be up to something!”

  Initially, Hang Yuan High School had sent a team of 20 students to take part in the event. It was just that Wu Zhiheng and Fu Zhi were in a feud with each other and he did not think a school from a small city would be able to triumph over them. Thus, he had decided that there was no need to make a big fanfare and the four of them would be more than enough to take them on.

  Zhou Zihuai and Lu Yubai did not go to the sports arena yet, but Wu Zhiheng and his team had already arrived.

  He scanned the arena and realized that not only was this arena smaller than the school run by his family, but the school authorities of No.1 High School had not sent someone to clean up the arena beforehand. He could see some dust on the chairs in the deepest part of the arena.

  Wu Zhiheng frowned disdainfully and put his leg on the back of a chair. He pulled out three Chemistry questions that Ouyang Ya had given him before they had come here.

  A large group of students had gathered in the arena.

  Very soon, Director Liu, Zhou Zihuai, and Lu Yubai arrived at the arena as well.

  “Are you guys students from Hang Yuan?” Director Liu asked, his brows furrowed deeply. “I thought we had agreed to start the exchange meeting at 2:00 p.m.?”

  Truth be told, anyone would’ve frowned if they saw a bunch of outsiders barge into their school and sit in an indecent manner, let alone a teacher.

  “Two o’clock in the afternoon? Then we can cancel the exchange meeting. Our teacher is busy right now, so we might have to postpone the exchange meeting until this Saturday. But of course, it may or may not be held until next Monday,” Wu Zhiheng said with a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

  Then, before Director Liu could say anything, he walked up to the stage in the middle of the arena and added, “However, an exchange meeting is just a better name for a learning visit. Hang Yuan High School is one of the elite schools in the capital. In my opinion, we don’t need to learn anything from a third-rate school at all, so here is my suggestion. I have three Chemistry questions with me. As long as anyone from your team can answer them, we will continue the exchange meeting. However, if none of you is able to answer the questions…… I see no point in continuing the exchange meeting.”

  He took arrogance to the extreme. He had been in a bad mood since he had been beaten by Ye Jiu, so he directed all his anger at No.1 High School. He wanted to humiliate them and end the exchange meeting as soon as possible so that he could follow his father to Myanmar.

  The students of No.1 High School were infuriated. “What do you mean we are a third-rate school? When did we become a third-rate school, huh? Do you think your private school is the best?” a student shouted. He wanted to curse Wu Zhiheng, but he could not do so since Director Liu was there.

  Wu Zhiheng wrote down three Chemistry questions on the blackboard. Then, he picked up a microphone and said, “I will loosen the rules a bit. These three Chemistry questions were taken from Hang Yuan’s test paper. They are not the hardest type of questions, so as long as any of you can answer them, we will continue the exchange meeting.”

  Director Liu turned to look at Lu Yubai and Zhou Zihuai.

  Both of them had serious expressions on their faces.

  “These three questions are beyond the scope of our syllabus,” Lu Yubai said. “Unless I’m mistaken, this should be some kind of drug composition study at the Institute of Medicine. There is a lot of terminology, and it’s impossible to do calculations if we’re not clear about the composition. Besides, there are some formulas that need to be used that I’m not very clear about.”

  Director Liu pressed his lips and said, “Mr. Wu, these three Chemistry questions are not within the scope of the syllabus, so don’t you think it’s not very appropriate to use them here?”
