Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Gu Shiyin’s Mentality Collapses! The Bosses’ Slick Moves!
Ma Xiaogang reminisced about Gu Shiyin’s college entrance exam score back in the day: "If I’m not mistaken, the Sixth Miss should have scored 740? The highest score in history."
"Oh, the Sixth Miss was quite impressive."
"Not bad at all."
"The Gu Family is truly an intellectual family, with such a good fortune—producing both Miss Zuzi and a talented person like the Sixth Miss..."
Everyone politely praised.
However, each "also" inadvertently reminded everyone that Gu Shiyin’s college exam achievement was old news.
The highest score in history has been topped and rewritten by Zuzi’s perfect score in all subjects!
Gu Shiyin managed to maintain an awkward smile.
The once almighty score of 740 now sounded like "mad, mad, mad," entirely infuriating.
Especially while Gu Pinting’s naive compliment echoed in her ears: "Aunt, your mindset is really great, I want to learn from you."
Gu Shiyin’s mindset crumbled in an instant!
"Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom."
She stumbled as she walked out.
The laughter in the room felt like a huge irony, relentlessly pursuing her...
Everyone laughed while saying to Mr. Gu: "Ha-ha, now we finally understand, Miss Xi didn’t want to give you a heart attack from the surprise, so she didn’t want to show you the results."
Mr. Gu patted his chest, intending to make a speech.
But when he looked up, after exchanging pleasantries with him, everyone surrounded Zuzi warmly and earnestly:
"Miss Xi, come to our Mathematics School, scoring full marks in math is amazing, especially since this year’s big questions were super difficult. You’d directly enter the rocket class..."
"Miss Xi, don’t listen to him, our Foreign Language School has a genius class! It’s specifically tailored for language geniuses like you, don’t worry, no attendance or homework checks, you’ll have super free learning conditions..."
"Miss Xi, look at me, our school..."
Mr. Gu puffed his beard: "Are you all here tonight to snatch students?"
Everyone: "...Cough cough." What else, are we here to celebrate your birthday?
Huangfu Yaxian shook his head: "No, I’m not here to snatch students, I’m here to invite Miss Xi to be a special guest lecturer in our Music School, occasionally guiding the teachers and students..."
Feng Tang also shook his head: "No, I’m not here to invite Miss Xi as my student, I want to ask Miss Xi to be my teacher. In the area of antique appraisal, I feel there’s still much I need to learn from her..."
The Gu Family: "..."
My gosh, these academic big shots are getting more and more outrageous with their clever maneuvers!
It turns out they’re not snatching students but begging Zuzi to be a teacher?
Is Zuzi really that formidable?
In a sea of enthusiastic invitations and jealous inquiries, Bao Gucheng held Zuzi’s small hand under the table once more.
Gently opening her palm, the man’s rough fingertips wrote in her hand: "Miss Zuzi, should I help you out?"
"Ah, how will Xiao Chenger help?"
Surrounded by a bunch of younger peers pleading, one certain ancestor genuinely had a headache.
Bao Gucheng, with a serious expression, slowly spoke: "It’s getting late; starting at nine-thirty tonight, a citywide curfew will be imposed. If you don’t leave soon, you won’t make it home tonight."
As everyone was enthusiastically discussing, they were caught off guard by the word "curfew," and all felt puzzled: "Mr. Bo, why impose a curfew in the Imperial City for no good reason?"
Curfew means a total ban on night outings throughout the city.
Usually, it’s not imposed unless there’s something huge happening.
Bao Gucheng, straight-faced and earnest: "For the physical and mental health of the youth."
