From Sidekick to Bigshot

“It’s none of my business. However, I’m just telling the truth. It’s not against the law to speak the truth. You can’t just only listen to the good things that people say about you and ignore the bad things people say, right?” Wang Xiangchong asked. He spoke with great conviction.

Wang Xiangchong continued to speak, “And furthermore, I never said that you two were the ones who were living an unaccomplished life. You’re the one who assumed that.”

Hu Jiaojiao began to puff her cheeks out in exasperation and anger.

However, she couldn’t argue against him.

This made her even angrier.

Hu Jiaojiao resembled an eggplant that had grown during winter. The way she acted was withered and listless.

It was her fault that she couldn’t get marks higher than this guy.

Jian Yiling took a look at Hu Jiaojiao. When she saw how upset her friend was, she turned around and said to Wang Xiangchong:

“If I score a better mark than you in the next exam, you apologize to Jiao. In addition to that, you will write sorry a thousand times.”

“Is there something wrong with your head?” Wang Xiangchong asked. His eyes looked at Jian Yiling in a condescending way.

“So, are you taking this bet or not?”

“Then, if you don’t get a better mark than me, you will apologize to me, right? You’ll also have to write sorry a thousand times.”

“Yes.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangchong started to laugh. The other students around him also looked at Jian Yiling with strange eyes.

It was true that Jian Yiling’s results had improved in the last month. Their teacher had even praised her.

However, her marks could not be comparable to Wang Xiangchong. He was one of the top students in the class.

After she had just passed her exams, she dared to challenge the top student in their class.

Jian Yiling was indeed crazy. Crazily arrogant.

All of sudden, the rest of the class could understand why she registered for the chemistry competition.

After she passed her exams, it was as though Jian Yiling thought that she was better than everyone else.

“Yeah sure. Why would I not bet with you? Did everyone hear that? If your overall mark is lower than mine, you’ll have to apologize to me. Apologize and write sorry a thousand times!”

Jian Yiling had always been incredibly arrogant. It was rare for her to apologize to someone else.

When Hu Jiaojiao heard what Jian Yiling said, her expression became incredibly anxious, “Yiling, don’t bet with him.”

Hu Jiaojiao didn’t want Jian Yiling to apologize to Wang Xiangchong.

However, Jian Yiling didn’t listen to Hu Jiaojiao’s advice. Instead, she agreed to Wang Xiangchong.

All of a sudden, Hu Jiaojiao became even more listless than earlier.

What could she do…

With enough luck, you could pass your exams.

However, to get better marks than Wang Xiangchong was another task in itself!

After Wang Xiangchong left, Hu Jiaojiao whispered to Jian Yiling:

“It’s okay. I’ll write sorry a thousand times with you.”

“What? Why?” Jian Yiling asked.

“Hey, he was talking about both of us! Of course, I need to help you with this!”

Hu Jiaojiao felt like this wasn’t just Jian Yiling’s business.

“It’s fine.”

“Yeah, it’s fine. It’s just writing sorry a thousand times. It’s not like I’ve never copied the same word over and over again that many times before,” Hu Jiaojiao replied.

As Qin Chuan came to give a lecture to Shenghua High School, the Head of Teaching personally went to greet him.

The more he looked at Qin Chuan, the more he appreciated him.

Qin Chuan was dressed formally today. He wore a navy suit with a tie and a tightly buttoned shirt. His expression was rather serious and cold as well.

“Qin Chuan, you’re the pride of Hengyuan City. If the students at our school can learn 10% or 20% from you, I would be incredibly gratified.”

“Teacher Li, you’re too kind. Shenghua High School is one of the best high schools in Hengyuan City. There are quite a few talented students here.”
