Chapter 128: Getting Restless

It was just like her father: He always told his employees that the company pursued fairness and justice, and encouraged them to be brave and innovative. Actually, he was just bluffing those pure-minded idiots. Once the company obtained some benefits or there was a limited opportunity for promotion, strength didn’t matter; wouldn’t those who could benefit you be chosen? Furthermore, in order to prevent their own standing from being threatened, some people would directly skip over those who were capable and instead choose to promote someone less outstanding.
They were very confident and convincing when they spoke, which made the outside world believe them.
But she wasn’t buying it!
She would definitely prove that Lu An had gotten in by pulling strings! That was it!
Hu Jiaqian gritted her teeth and made a solemn vow.
“Very good!”
The principal smiled slightly and just said those two words, before he turned around and went to arrange for the Year 3 teachers to come up with test questions.
Poor Hu Jiaqian didn’t realize that the way the principal addressed her had changed.
From “Jiaqian,” when he still had high hopes for her in the beginning, to the cold and formal “Hu Jiaqian,” the principal’s attitude was very clear.
…
Very quickly, the test paper was created.
After all, after Lu An smashed the questions last night, many teachers had already quietly come up with a lot of new questions.
They had wondered when there would be another chance for this Student Lu to try these questions.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity came so quickly!
…
At Yu Hua High School’s sports field.
Under a small awning that had been temporarily put up, two sets of desks and chairs separated by a partition had been neatly set up. The invigilator set in the front, and the test had begun.
Lu An carefully went through all her pockets to show that they were empty.
She also picked up two pens and went over to sit down.
She even twisted off the pen caps and showed them to everyone.
The spectators surrounded the two candidates as they crowded together outside the red rope which the security guards had put up five meters away.
They tried their best to keep their voices down, but couldn’t stop discussing things.
Everyone watched the test excitedly.
Who on earth would be the winner? Who?
The test paper was the comprehensive type: First was Literature, then English, Mathematics, and Science.
The teachers chose the most representative questions for each subject before putting them together. Except for the English component, they also discarded multiple-choice questions and even filling in the blanks, to reduce the possibility of guessing from context; the biggest test here was of a student’s true level.
There were a total of 60 questions, with a slightly higher level of difficulty. The time limit was two and a half hours.
Lu An first skimmed all the questions on a total of 12 A4 pages. On the other side, Hu Jiaqian had already immersed herself in writing. Only after several minutes did Lu An pick up her pen and start writing unhurriedly.
Her soft and fair face was like a cold plum blossom which bloomed quietly. She was cold and aloof, and gave off a delicate air.
Her posture was upright and she was composed, as if she was devising battle plans with ease.
The gazes of the students who were watching were all locked on Lu An in particular. One or two of them couldn’t help but whisper, “Hey, can she do it or not?”
“Who knows? She’s too good at pretending. It feels like she can, but also not?”
“Right? I thought it would be boring, but look at the sweat on my palms. Are they the ones taking the test, or is it me?”
“That’s right!”
The spectating students stared fixedly at Hu Jiaqian and Lu An on the field. Even though the teacher had already told everyone not to disturb them, they couldn’t help it!
In any case, if one was affected, then both were affected. This couldn’t be considered as being unfair.
They widened their eyes. Seconds turned to minutes, and suddenly…
Someone noticed that Lu An was getting restless.
