Chapter 790: Pack Up And Get Ready To Leave. Written Test Results
In the first round of the competition, they would only be exposed to the academic system and the unique teaching style of Jijing Island. In the second round of the competition, which was the team debate, students could really show off their skills.
At the hotel.
At the end of the first elimination round, half of the teams would be eliminated after the results were released.
The professors who were interested in inter-school cooperation took the opportunity to discuss collaboration projects to nurture their students in the entertainment room provided by the hotel.
They all gave a rough plan of their ideas. Their conversation returned to the competition this time.
“Professor Yang, did Gu Mang from your school really not attend training before coming to the competition?” a professor asked.
This matter had spread to all the participating teams. But since the team from Capital University did not personally confirm it, everyone still held suspicions about its credibility.
Yang Tianming answered simply, “There were some unforeseen circumstances and indeed, she didn’t attend the training.”
At a time like this, there was no point in hiding anything.
Seeing that Yang Tianming admitted to it so openly, they felt sorry for Capital University in the competition.
Another professor said, “Actually, if you are not sure about Gu Mang, you should remove her name from the team. Even if you lose to Imperial College, it won’t look so bad.”
There was a difference between being a few marks away and being over ten marks away.
The professor of the medical organization laughed. “If you win, you win. If you lose, you lose. Does the number of marks matter?”
Her tone made others feel quite uncomfortable. Everyone looked at each other and did not say anything.
Before coming, everyone had seen Gu Mang as an opponent. Quite a number of students had asked about her. They did not expect her to be a rookie.
The professor of the medical organization looked at the others with teacup in hand. “If Gu Mang had been smarter back then and chosen our medical organization, her results would have been good even without training.”
The medical organization was a place where top medical experts from all over the world gathered. They had close contacts with Jijing Island.
The students at Jijing Island’s medical association received the most high-tech and advanced resources. A lot of people at the competition thought that Gu Mang was silly for choosing Capital University over the medical organization back then as she had let go of a great opportunity.
After drinking the tea, the professor from the medical organization put down the teacup. Then, he got up and stared at Yang Tianming condescendingly.
“Professor Yang, I shall not send you off when you leave tomorrow. See you next year.”
With that, he smirked and left the room.
…
At the same time.
Gu Mang returned to the designated hotel arranged by the competition organizer from Lu Chengzhou’s place.
They walked to the door and bumped into the team from the medical organization. They were on their way back from Jijing Island’s library as it was open to participating students and contained many precious books.
When Gu Yin saw Gu Mang, she smiled and took a few steps forward. “Sis.”
Gu Mang was looking at her phone while walking. She entered the hotel without even lifting her head. Gu Yin watched her from behind and the smile on her face stiffened. She couldn’t help but bite her lip a little.
“Yinyin, why did she ignore you?” a boy walked beside Gu Yin and asked as he looked at Gu Mang walk away.
Gu Yin adjusted her expression and turned to him. “My sister might be in a bad mood.”
The boy frowned and said, “She may have failed the written test, but it has nothing to do with you. What kind of expression was that?”
Gu Yin laughed. “Let’s go in.”
…
When Gu Mang returned, Yang Tianming was telling everyone to pack up.
“Time is going to be a little tight tomorrow so pack your luggage now.”
Gu Mang remained silent.
Yang Tianming turned to Gu Mang, “Gu Mang, have you eaten?”
She nodded. “I have.”
“Alright.” Yang Tianming looked around at everyone and said, “When your luggage is all packed, you can all go out and have fun together if you’d like to.”
“Got it, professor.” Everyone gave a dispirited answer.
Gu Mang licked her lips. “Professor Yang, actually…”
Yang Tianming sighed. “Come with me.”
At the balcony.
Yang Tianming looked at Gu Mang. “Don’t feel bad, it’s not your fault. I will let the school know about what happened. We know that someone added you to the list out of spite. I will get someone to investigate.”
Gu Mang remained silent.
Fine. Then I shall tell them tomorrow.
…
At the medical association.
The written tests were graded using a machine so it was very quick. By 8pm, all the scores had been calculated. So far the results of over a thousand people had been recorded.
In the next second, a statistical result box popped up.
Highest score: 100.
Lowest score: 69.
The person in charge of managing the results was dumbfounded.
When he snapped back to reality. “H-How…”
How… could there be a perfect score…
This was an international competition. The questions were extremely difficult.
Since the start of the competition, there have been over a dozen batches of participants. Even the closest disciples trained by Leng Xuan herself would never be confident of getting a perfect score in the competition.
Just then, his phone rang. He got up and picked up the phone.
It was a call from Leng Xuan.
“Elder Leng,” said the man respectfully.
