Chapter 1 Two Top Geniuses 1
A quiet afternoon.
The sun was warm and gentle, casting golden light through the window.
Dijing College, Office of the Chairman.
I sat alone on the black leather sofa and looked around the room: spotless glass windows, a large and clean desk, an elegant and exquisite solid wood bookcase, and a plaque with the school motto hanging on the wall in front of me.
Ah, it really is the office of the chairman, exuding a simple and elegant scholarly atmosphere everywhere.
The door was suddenly pushed open and the chairman in a suit walked in.
"Qianqian, are you tired of waiting?"
"No." I stood up quickly and smiled at the chairman uncle, "The call you just received, was it from my aunt?"
Hey, this is a secret that’s not really a secret.
Actually, the chairman of the board of directors of Dijing College was my aunt's first love! My aunt said that they were determined to elope, but... I don't need to say more, just look at the current situation, you can guess the result: they obviously failed to elope! Then, my aunt and the chairman of the board were forced to "separate" for more than 20 years, and until today, the lovers are still single.
"Qianqian, the call was not from your aunt, it was..." The chairman's face changed slightly, and his smile froze instantly, "It was from your grandfather. He knew you were going to register at Dijing College today, so he gave me a few special instructions. Moreover, your aunt was also forcibly taken to the Yao family mansion by your grandfather. Qianqian, you should understand your situation now, right?"
clear?
How could I not understand?
Damn it! This is clearly a naked threat! I am such a failure. Why didn't I expect that the old man of the Yao family would use such a mean trick?
God, is there something wrong with your eyes? That evil old man in the Yao family can never be my grandfather! How can a beautiful girl like me who is kind, optimistic, talkative and cheerful have such an unreasonable and cold-spoken grandfather? Dad and mom in heaven, please bless me and help me, so that I can quickly escape from that evil old man.
Thinking of this, I frowned, clenched my fists, and sighed unwillingly.
"Uncle Chairman, please tell me what the old man said to you? Please!"
"Well..." The chairman of the board looked embarrassed. He sat down on the sofa opposite me and said hesitantly, "It's about your transfer to Dijing College. Qianqian, you know, Dijing College is a famous aristocratic school with a very good reputation in all aspects and high qualifications of students. Therefore, students who want to enter Dijing College must meet the school's assessment requirements, and you... Unfortunately, your total score in the entrance test a few days ago was two levels lower than the minimum standard of Dijing College."
I nodded nonchalantly: "Yeah, I know that, what's the matter?"
The chairman was stunned and stared at me as if I were an alien. A row of black lines faintly appeared on his forehead and the expression on his face clearly asked me: Which planet are you from, you freak?
"Ahem, Qianqian, you don't meet the admission requirements of Dijing College, so you can only..."
"Is it true that Dijing College won't accept me?" I suddenly opened my eyes wide and shouted excitedly, "That's great! I didn't want to study here in the first place. Haha, I'm finally free! Uncle Chairman, thank you, thank you for failing me!"
The next second, I saw several more rows of deeper black lines on the chairman’s forehead.
"flourishing!"
"Uh? Anything else?"
I was just about to leave when the chairman suddenly and forcefully pulled me back to the sofa.
"Who said that Dijing College won't accept you?" The chairman was really sweating this time. He took out a handkerchief to wipe his face and sighed helplessly, "I have arranged everything for you. You are already a student of Dijing College."
"But I don't like it here at all."
"You, you..." The chairman said angrily, "Yao Qianqian, how come you are more difficult to deal with than the old man of the Yao family? You two are really grandfather and grandson, so willful and self-righteous! How much do you think I welcome you to study at Dijing College? This is your grandfather's request! The old man has said that if you can't become a student of Dijing College through your own efforts, he will make sure your aunt will never see you again!"
Wha…what?
I was stunned, my ears were buzzing, and my head felt like it was filled with cotton, and I couldn't think at all.
"Is this true?" I grabbed the chairman's sleeve and stared at him in disbelief.
The chairman raised his stiff arms as if waking up from a dream and patted my shoulder with a trace of annoyance and regret on his face, but the words had already been spoken and it was too late for him to regret.
"Qianqian, you... listen to me. Actually, your grandfather and your aunt both want you to study here. Dijing College is a top-notch school. Almost all heirs of upper-class families..."
"Uncle Chairman, I didn't transfer here willingly. But my aunt told me that she hopes I can live independently and study at Dijing College." I took a breath, clenched my fists, and my eyes were a little sore. "My aunt raised me since I was a child. In my heart, she is my mother. So, no matter what she asks me to do, as long as it is her wish, I will agree with a smile. However, my beloved aunt is being threatened by evil people, and I, the person in charge, have no idea about it. How annoying it is! No, I have to go to the stinky old man from the Yao family to argue with him immediately!"
"Qianqian! Qianqian, you can't go, you can't go!"
"Why?" I frowned and looked out the window angrily. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. "That stinky old man is too much! I didn't admit that he is my grandfather. On what basis does he threaten my aunt so blatantly! He even said that he doesn't let my aunt meet me? Humph, I'm going to the Yao family mansion right now. I won't..."
"Qianqian, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive." The chairman uncle tried his best to hold me back. His forehead was covered with sweat again, but he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off. "Qianqian, your grandfather's methods are much more terrible than you think! As long as you leave Dijing College, the people sent by your grandfather will always follow you and monitor your whereabouts. Now, you are in the light and your grandfather is in the dark. We must take a long-term view and must not act on impulse. Do you understand? You are worried about your aunt C, but I am more worried about her than you are, do you understand?"
Well, what the chairman said makes sense!
Although I am related to that stinky old man from the Yao family by blood, I don't know him at all. With just one phone call, he was able to make the chairman uncle look ashen, and he could also calmly threaten my aunt and make her persuade me to study at Dijing College. This shows how bad and domineering that stinky old man is!
So I suppressed the anger in my heart and slowly calmed down.
"Uncle Chairman, I must save my aunt!"
"Why does this sound so awkward?" The chairman muttered quietly, then nodded to me, "Well, the idea is very good, but it is very difficult to take action. Qianqian, your academic performance is really terrible, and your grandfather firmly believes that as the only heir to the Yao Group, you should not be so stupid. Therefore, in order to tap your potential, he notified the school and forbade any teacher to tutor you. This situation is not good for you... Fortunately, you will have another chance to take the test again in three months. As long as you pass the test, you can officially become a student of Dijing College."
Did I hear it wrong?
In just three months, the chairman actually expected me to create a miracle!
How could this be possible? It wasn't that I didn't want to study or work hard, but... a few years ago, I became obsessed with drawing comics. In order to learn comics well, I did fall behind in my studies. My aunt always respected my choices and supported me in pursuing my dreams. She didn't restrict me too much. As a result, my academic performance plummeted.
I really don't understand where the chairman's confidence in me comes from.
Oh my God! What on earth did I do to give him such a terrible illusion? How could he expect to let a cute little duck fly into the sky? After all, a duck is a duck, not a swan, and it doesn't have big wings!
Unless, the chairman uncle lends me a pair of strong wings, then I can fly.
"Uncle Chairman, do you think I can do it?"
"Sure! Of course!"
"But I don't have enough confidence, I..."
There was a knock on the door, abruptly interrupting my words. Then the door was pushed open, and a bright light shone in from the doorway, a little blinding.
"Chairman, I'm not late, am I?"
A low, steady and quiet male voice passed by my ears. I raised my head, looked against the light, and my sight slowly moved upwards... uh, the other party turned out to be a cold and arrogant beautiful boy!
The warm sunlight poured in from behind him, faintly, shimmering with golden luster, giving him a hazy and mysterious look.
He has a perfect face like an ancient Greek sculpture, strong and handsome, with sharp edges and corners, the kind of stunning appearance that will turn girls into crazy fans at first sight; his tall and straight figure has an overwhelming aura, faintly exuding a feeling of coldness and indifference; his short dark brown hair dances lightly in the wind, soft and flowing; the pair of black eyes hidden behind the glasses are as deep as a deep pool and as bright as the bright moon, flowing with waves that cannot be seen clearly.
Who is he?
Why didn't the chairman tell me in advance that there was such a handsome guy in Dijing College? Logically, I shouldn't be obsessed with him. Because for so many years, I have always had a childhood sweetheart who is so beautiful that it makes people angry. I thought I was immune to beautiful boys and handsome men. Who knew... When I was looking at him absent-mindedly, he was also staring at me.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the expression on his handsome face was as calm as the surface of a lake, without any ripples. Apart from the inherent condensed breath, I could not detect any abnormal reaction. But inexplicably, in this less than half a minute, I actually felt a little wary of him.
"Zi Han, you're here." The chairman smiled and invited the handsome boy to sit next to him.
The other party still had that calm demeanor. He nodded slightly to the chairman and sat down without saying a word.
"Oh, let me introduce you two to each other first, and then..."
"Chairman, is she the girl with a bad brain?"
The handsome boy didn't even look at me, but his simple words made the chairman and I change our expressions at the same time.
He, he dared to say that I was not smart enough?
Damn it! He doesn't even know who I am, he doesn't know me at all, how can he make such an easy judgment on me?
"Hey, have you ever seen a girl with a bad brain? Is there anyone as smart and cute as me?"
He raised his thin lips mockingly and said coldly: "Stupidity is innate, and may gain sympathy from others, but narcissism and boasting are idiotic behaviors, which will only attract more contempt."
"What did you say!" I was so angry that I almost jumped up, and the anger in my heart was bubbling out.
"Don't you understand?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at me, the contempt in his eyes deepened a little, "That's why I don't want to talk to stupid people. She doesn't understand what you say. It's just a waste of time."
"You..." I glared at him angrily, trying hard to suppress the urge to strangle him.
"Zi Han, it's not like that. Qianqian is just..." The chairman hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Qianqian is indeed a straightforward and optimistic girl. You will definitely understand this after spending more time with her. Well, let me introduce them to you first. Yao Qianqian ! Luo Zihan! Qianqian calls herself a comic genius, and Zihan is a true genius who will always be number one!"
What kind of introduction is this?
The chairman is clearly putting me down and elevating Luo Zihan!
Luo Zihan, oh, so his name is Luo Zihan.
The name sounds nice, the appearance is absolutely beautiful, but... the personality is extremely bad! I must have been blinded by the flowers just now, so I was obsessed with him! For a guy who speaks viciously and has a bad personality, I would rather close my eyes tightly than look at him for one more second!
"Ahem, Qianqian, I asked Zihan to come here specially to help you with your homework."
Boom!
The chairman's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving me stunned.
This can't be true. It can't be true!
I, Yao Qianqian, will never accept Luo Zihan's help even if I have only a trace of backbone left!
Look at his cold and arrogant look, as if someone owes him millions. I, Yao Qianqian, would only agree to let him help with homework if my brain is short-circuited! I don't believe that there is no other genius who can compete with Luo Zihan in the entire Dijing Academy!
"Uncle Chairman, I..."
Before I could even utter the word "objection", Luo Zihan very rudely snatched away my "first right to speak".
He raised his hand to push up his glasses and said in a deep voice: "Chairman, you should know that I dislike girls with dumb brains the most. But in order to repay the favor I owe you, I will accept it with reluctance this time. As for whether she can pass the school test in three months, I will not make unnecessary assertions. Chairman, I am helping you only to repay the favor, not because I have an obligation to help her. I have never seen a girl with such a dumb brain. Her test scores are so bad that it is annoying to look at her..."
"Then don't look at it!" I really couldn't bear it anymore, and the little universe in my body completely exploded.
"Luo Zihan, don't look down on others! A guy with a bad personality like you is useless no matter how smart you are! I, Yao Qianqian, would rather drop out of school than let you help with my homework!"
Haha, what a joy! It's really a joy!
"Qianqian, don't talk nonsense, Zihan..."
At this time, the chairman still wanted to speak for him! Who exactly is Luo Zihan? The chairman is too cautious in front of him.
