Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again



"I thought you were a god of exams and could get first place in any exam. It turns out that there are times when you can't get first place. Tsk! How should I put it? This feeling—"

Before he could finish, Qiao Nian glanced at him and leaned back. She placed her hand on the back of her head and lazily interrupted his nagging. "I didn't say that I wouldn't get first place."

Her words successfully shut him up!

Qin Si was speechless.

—Then what are you talking about?

The girl's eyes seemed to be able to see through what he was thinking. She smiled again with a relaxed expression. "Yes, I was just saying it casually."

Qin Si, who took it seriously, was speechless.

Qiao Nian was just joking with him. She lowered her eyes, straightened her expression, and coughed. "Ahem, it's really not certain this time.

"I don't know the progress of the other teams. Anyway, we've determined the direction we're going for. The rest will depend on tomorrow."

She estimated that they would not be first or last this time.

As for which rank they could get tomorrow, it would depend on the other teams.

The next day.

It was the First Research Institute's December group assessment.

Qiao Nian arrived at the examination hall at 8:30 AM sharp.

There were already a few groups in the lecture theater. Many people gathered together for discussions.

She entered and saw Xu Yi and the others in the corner.

They were different from the others.

There was no one around them. Everyone avoided them as if they were avoiding a plague.

Qiao Nian hummed and walked in with her eyes lowered. She passed through the crowd and walked straight towards the three of them.

She was the Newcomer King this time.

The first person in the First Research Institute to score full marks in the first round and complete the Level 8 simulation experiment with an almost 100% completion rate in the second round.

Qiao Nian was one of the more eye-catching newcomers.

Especially since she did not seem like a researcher.

Even in the First Research Institute, which did not value appearances, some people also liked to discuss the eye-catching appearance of the newbie king this year.

However, Qiao Nian was usually very simple. Most of the time, she sat in the laboratory with Shen Qingfeng and the others to do research.

The others rarely saw her in person.

Qiao Nian's appearance attracted the attention of many people.

"That's her?"

"Team 10—"

As she walked over, she could roughly hear some bits and pieces like "Team 10", "Death Team", and "last place".

However, Qiao Nian did not care. She walked straight toward Xu Yi and the others under everyone's gaze.

* * *

Xu Yi and the others were already used to the coldness of the First Research Institute. They were also used to being ostracized.

Therefore, they did not care when they arrived at the lecture theater and no one came over to talk to them. The three of them sat together and even discussed who would go on stage later.

Coincidentally, Shen Qingfeng saw the girl walking over. His eyes lit up and he smiled to greet her. "Qiao Nian, over here."

He thought that Qiao Nian didn't see them.

In fact, the girl had been walking towards them without looking sideways the entire time.

Xue Zhu pulled her and smiled as soon as Qiao Nian arrived. "We're discussing who should go on stage to do the presentation later."

The group assessment was not considered an exam or a competition, but it represented honor!

Everyone tried their best to get a good result in this key assessment so that the various laboratory leaders could see their abilities.

Therefore, the presenter slots for each group were precious. Usually, only the core members of the group could go up.
