NovelEnglishChapter 844: Rematch
Since the vice director of the Education Bureau showed up, nobody dared to say another word about the result.
When Gu Ning came back, the others were dispersing. Mr. Tan was the first one who noticed her. “Gu Ning, come here!”
Hearing Gu Ning’s name, everyone turned to look at her. Some felt envious of her, some were jealous of her, while some admired her. Song Siyao’s eyes were full of hatred towards Gu Ning now, but she didn’t dare to pick on Gu Ning because of Director You.
Gu Ning walked to her teacher afterwards, and greeted all the teachers present. “It’s so nice to meet you.”
“This is the vice director of the Education Bureau, Director You,” Mr. Tan said to Gu Ning.
“Honored to meet you, Director You.” Gu Ning greeted Director You with great respect, but still stayed calm, which impressed Director You.
Director You had heard a lot about Gu Ning. Given Gu Ning’s achievements and powerful connections, even he should show some respect towards her.
“Nice to meet you, Gu Ning. I heard that you just won the first prize at the preliminary test, good for you! Are you confident about the following rematch and the final?” Director You asked kindly. He now didn’t look as serious as he did earlier.
“Yes, I am,” Gu Ning said without hesitation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Great!” Director You smiled. He didn’t think that Gu Ning was arrogant, but encouraged her to do her best.
After that, Gu Ning walked away. Zhang Zikai and Su Anya went to her at once.
“Ningning, Song Siyao just bad-mouthed your behind your back. She said that you bribed the Education Bureau to get the correct answers!” Su Anya was still annoyed about it.
“It’s complete nonsense,” Gu Ning said.
Gu Ning wouldn’t take it to heart. She would only pay Song Siyao back when it was over the top.
“Ningning, did you really finish the paper within just half an hour? It’s so unbelievable!” Zhang Zikai asked.
“Nope, I finished it within 20 minutes, but I had to wait for another 10 minutes to hand the paper in,” Gu Ning said. Su Anya and Zhang Zikai were her friends, so she could be honest with them.
“What? Just 20 minutes?” Zhang Zikai rounded her eyes in shock.
Su Anya, on the other hand, stayed calm, because she had heard from Chu Peihan that Gu Ning always finished her papers within 20 minutes.
“Ningning, you must be a genius!” Zhang Zikai said.
“Well, I have a good memory, and I can store almost everything in my mind after reading it,” Gu Ning said.
“Wow, I wish I could have such a good memory!” Zhang Zikai admired Gu Ning more than ever now. “Ningning, can I test your memory?”
“Sure!” Gu Ning didn’t mind at all.
Zhang Zikai thought for a while, then asked, “Do you still remember my phone number?”
“138 XXXX XXX,” Gu Ning said without delay.
Zhang Zikai then took out her bank card, and gave it to Gu Ning. “Read the numbers three times before you say it aloud without looking at them.”
Gu Ning took her bank card, but she didn’t bother to read those numbers three times. She was able to remember them after reading them once.
“Jesus, you’re so amazing!” Zhang Zikai got excited. “Can you remember it forever, or will you soon forget it?”
“I can remember it forever,” Gu Ning said with a smile.
“The principal of her school has permitted her to be absent from all the classes until the National College Entrance Examination,” Su Anya said.
“Really?” Zhang Zikai was greatly surprised again. “What’s your target university?”
“The Capital University,” Gu Ning said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Me too!” Zhang Zikai almost jumped up with excitement. “What major will you choose?”
“Economic Management,” Gu Ning replied.
“I’m going to major in Economics,” Zhang Zikai said. “How about you, Anya?”
“I want to study in the Capital University as well, but my family will send me to study abroad,” Su Anya sighed. Sometimes, it wasn’t up to her to make the decision.
“It’s not a bad thing to study abroad. I want to do that myself, but my family won’t allow me to,” Zhang Zikai said. “Well, now I’ll give up.” Zhang Zikai could be Gu Ning’s schoolmate in the university after all.
The rematch soon began.
Only 50 students made it to the rematch, and they were divided into two groups in two classrooms.
They were randomly arranged, not according to their scores. Therefore, Song Siyao, Zhang Zikai and Gu Ning sat in the same classroom, while Song Siyao sat in another.
The three of them passed the preliminary test with scores above 90, which proved that they were all top students.
The questions in the rematch were even more difficult than those in the preliminary test, so many people didn’t believe that Gu Ning would be able to get full marks this time.
The teachers in the classroom all fixed their eyes on Gu Ning once she was seated.
Gu Ning barely thought about the questions, nor calculated, but directly wrote down the answers. It did seem like she already knew the correct answers.
Even Director You who walked by them couldn’t help but pay more attention to Gu Ning. He wished that his children could be as smart as her.
