“Let’s go.” Nie Mi was also a little impatient. After hearing their greetings, he breathed a sigh of relief and said softly to the girl around him, “Time to eat.”

The girl nodded and followed them in, walking past the rest of them…

…

Cheng Wu watched the three of them walk in before he kept his smile. He turned his head back and asked Wei Ling unhappily, “President Wei, what happened to you just now? Didn’t you want to ask Principal Liang for a meal? I already initiated it, but you didn’t cooperate. I almost couldn’t ease the awkwardness.”

Exactly. He had invited the person, but Wei Ling looked so reluctant, it appeared as if he was taking things into his own hands.

Wei Ling’s face twitched. She rubbed her temple and apologized to him. “I’m sorry, Professor Cheng, my mind just wandered.”

Cheng Wu didn’t know whether to believe her.

Wei Ling had a good network in the Beijing social circle and came from a good background. Even if he was full of anger at the moment, he was smart enough to bear it down. He would just take it that her mind had really wandered.

“Since we didn’t manage to make an appointment with Principal Liang this time, I doubt we will be able to in the future. Given how confident Principal Liang and Master Nie looked, Qiao Nian will likely stay in Qing University and won’t be poached by other schools.” Cheng Wu’s voice was quiet. Looking in the direction of the entrance of the restaurant, he continued, “Principal Liang especially came to Rao City this time to make sure that Qiao Nian stays in Qing University and that schools like Nanjing University and C University don’t poach her. Once he has settled the matter, I doubt he’ll stay in Rao City for long. He might just go back tomorrow or the day after, depending on Master Nie’s schedule.”

The two prestigious schools, Nanjing University and University C, sounded like third-tier universities from the way he said it.

How good were Qiao Nian’s scores in the joint entrance exam that Cheng Wu could talk about it so casually?

Wei Ling’s heart seemed to be held tightly by an invisible hand, and she was a little out of breath.

Qiao Chen also received invitations from several schools this morning, the best of which was a major university in Z Province.

She was still happy about it this morning.

Looking back at her happy moment now, Wei Ling swallowed her pain.

She had mentally prepared for a long time before she finally asked the man, “Professor Cheng, do you know how many points Qiao Nian scored?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Hm?”

She barely moved the corners of her mouth, but parts of her face moved. “I only heard you say that she was the top scorer in the entrance exam, but I don’t know her results yet.”

She now wanted to know how much better Qiao Nian did than Qiao Chen!

If her score was not much higher, she could accept it.

After all, Qiao Chen was an Arts student, and Qiao Nian was not.

Arts students’ scores in cultural subjects were lower than those of other college students. Qiao Chen’s score of 589 this time was definitely high among Arts students.

If the gap was not huge, they could be taken to be the same score.

“How many points did she score?” Wei Ling was slightly nervous.

Cheng Wu turned his head, his eyes shining and gleaming. In front of the Qiao family members, he gave a thumbs up. “650 points. Full marks!”

Wei Ling was speechless.

Shen Qiongzhi said, “…How is that possible? This must be a mistake.”

Halfway through, Qiao Weimin yanked her so hard that she staggered backward. He had to stop her from saying the wrong thing in front of Cheng Wu.

But the remaining half of the words were held in her stomach, turning her face blue and purple. She might as well just say it.

The Qiao Family’s Third Uncle had discussed Qiao Chen’s grades earlier on. Upon hearing Cheng Wu mention her grades now, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Qiao Nian scored 650? The full marks for the Qing University examination? Tsk! Isn’t that a full 60 marks higher than Chen Chen? This is incredible.. If this was the College Entrance Examination, she would definitely be the top scorer of the province.”
