Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Ling’er noticed that Wen Nuan looked a bit weary, and she was holding car keys, indicating she had driven herself here. Jiang Ling’er felt sorry and said, “You didn’t even hire a driver and drove yourself all the way here. You must be exhausted.”

Wen Nuan rubbed her temples and admitted, “1 am a bit tired, but it’s manageable. I didn’t really think much about it at the time.”

Jiang Ling’er was deeply moved. Wen Nuan was the beloved child of the Wen family, and if her brothers found out, they would surely be worried sick.

Jiang Ling’er insisted, “You’ve already worn yourself out like this. Leave your car here. The traffic is heavy now, and you’re still fatigued. Don’t drive anymore. Here’s the hotel room key. Go and rest.”

Wen Nuan shook her head and replied, “No, I want to wait for you here. I’ll just take a short break in the car. I’m not that tired.”

Jiang Ling’er pointed to a nearby building and said, “Wen Nuan, you take it easy. Do you see that hotel over there? It’s not far at all. You go rest for now, and after 1 finish the competition, I’ll come find you. We can explore the shopping malls in the capital together.”

Wen Nuan knew she couldn’t argue with Jiang Ling’er, so she accepted the room key and said, “Alright, 1’11 listen to you. Don’t be nervous during the competition. I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

Jiang Ling’er nodded. She had never felt nervous during competitions.

After Wen Nuan left, Su Qi also departed, and Jiang Ling’er and Qiu Yang entered the competition venue together.

It was 8:00 AM.

All the students who had successfully advanced were now inside the competition venue.

Jiang Ling’er, having consistently ranked first, had become a figure everyone looked up to.

Although Jiang Ling’er didn’t feel it herself, she remembered countless times in the past when people had looked up to her. Now, she was simply taking on a different role. She wanted to keep a lower profile and didn’t consider herself exceptional. Jiang Ling’er knew that many top students didn’t even bother participating in competitions like this.

At 9:00 AM, the competition began.

Jiang Ling’er became serious the moment she received her test paper.

The questions for this competition were more challenging than any she had faced before.

Jiang Ling’er didn’t dare to be complacent; she habitually twirled her pen and carefully reviewed the questions.

The only sound in the hall was the scribbling of pencils; there were no other noises.

Jiang Ling’er completed her questions well before the time was up. She had over twenty minutes left when she finished. During this time, many other candidates were still intently reviewing their papers.

Jiang Ling’er didn’t rush to submit her paper. Instead, she double-checked the last few major questions.

When the time was finally up and the bell rang, Jiang Ling’er finally turned in her paper and left the hall.

Qiu Yang also submitted his paper and caught up to her, saying, “Jiang Ling’er, wait up. Why the rush?”

Outside the competition venue, the principal was chatting with the vice president of Capital University. When they saw Jiang Ling’er walking out with a young man they didn’t recognize, the principal immediately called out, “Jiang Ling’er, come over here.”

Jiang Ling’er looked over and saw it was the principal. She sighed lightly and said, “I’ll catch up with you. You can go ahead.”

Qiu Yang replied, “Alright, 1’11 wait for you at the school gate.”

Jiang Ling’er didn’t know what to say, so she nodded and quickly approached the principal.

The principal pretended to be relaxed and asked, “Jiang Ling’er, how difficult do you think the questions were this time?”

Though he appeared calm, the principal was genuinely concerned.

Jiang Ling’er could sense the principal’s worries and modestly replied, “The difficulty was certainly there, but it was manageable.”

The vice president of Capital University asked, “What do you mean by ‘manageable’?”

Jiang Ling’er explained, “It means 1 can’t guarantee I’ll get a perfect score.”

The principal’s lips twitched. He hoped his student wouldn’t boast, especially in front of this renowned mathematician.

The vice president of Capital University inquired, “So, you’re saying that the competition questions were not challenging enough for you?”

This girl spoke confidently, but the vice president appreciated bright students like her. He had also seen Jiang Ling’er’s previous competition papers, which were straightforward and used the simplest methods to solve complex problems.

Jiang Ling’er clarified, “If I could guarantee a perfect score, it would mean the questions were easy. If I claim they were tough while guaranteeing a perfect score, that would be pretentious, wouldn’t it?”

Both university administrators were momentarily at a loss for words. They decided to let the matter drop. Achieving a perfect score was not an easy feat, but from Jiang Ling’er’s demeanor, she didn’t appear to be joking.

Jiang Ling’er said, “Is there anything else, Principal? If not, 1 won’t disturb you any longer.”

The principal paused for a moment and then said, “Nothing at all. Go have your meal.”

After bidding farewell to the two university administrators, Jiang Ling’er left.

Watching her walk away, the vice president of Capital University asked, “What was her score in the college entrance examination?”

A student this remarkable must have an excellent academic record, and Capital University couldn’t be unaware of it.

The principal replied, “She’s a specially admitted student to our Performing Arts Department.”

This response artfully sidestepped the issue of her exact score..
