[Psh, I can edit photos too. If youâre going to make something up, at least make it believable.]
[I knew someone would say itâs photoshopped. Hereâs the screen recording as well. I asked the official Great Xia University account directly. If it wasnât a perfect score, how could it be worth two university deans fighting over her?]
[Let me explain: In the history of the Great Xia Empire, there have been only three perfect scores in the college entrance exam. The other two had IQs above 180. Just because you havenât seen it doesnât mean others canât achieve it.]
This image quickly went viral, and the official Great Xia University Weibo account even gave it a like.
This sent Great Xia Universityâs admissions department into an unprecedented frenzy of activity.
Undeniably, most of Si Fuqingâs fans were young people, which only fueled the flames as Qing Universityâs dean angrily called Great Xia Universityâs dean , accusing him of being dishonorable.
Great Xia Universityâs dean hung up with a snort.
Who cares about honor when recruiting students?
He leisurely began packing up his things, ready to head home and save up some private money.
But just as he stood up, the office door burst open, and a crowd of people flooded in.
Great Xia Universityâs dean recognized them as Great Xia Universityâs lifetime honorary professors, who were also academicians of the Empire, all with remarkable achievements in their respective fields.
He adjusted his glasses. âWhat brings you all hereâ¦?â
âDean! How could you let Student Si join the archaeology department?â Professor Xu was anxious. âYou should have directed her to the mathematics department! She scored full marks in three Seven Schools Joint Examinations in math!â
Scoring full marks in mathematics in the Seven Schools Joint Examination was no small featâit required top-level thinking and ability.
Before Great Xia Universityâs dean could respond, Professor Chen, equally agitated, shouted, âIâve said she should join the physics department! What, do you think your mathematics department is superior?â
âYes, superior!â Professor Xu retorted, unwilling to back down. âWithout math, how can you solve physics problems?â
Professor Chen was at a loss for words. After a long pause, he managed to spit out, âYouâre shameless.â
Great Xia Universityâs dean sighed inwardly.
He never imagined that after successfully recruiting the student, the various departments within the university would start fighting over her.
Amidst the quarrel, the dean caught a key phrase: âWait, international joint exams?â
Professor Xu nodded. âWith Student Siâs scores, she would definitely rank in the top 50 in the international joint exams.â
A top 50 ranking would qualify her to be recruited by the Free State.
The president grew anxious. âSheâs not planning to go to Etno University, is she?â
Etno University, ranked first internationally, had a president and professors from the Free State, all highly formidable.
The two lifetime honorary professors, who had been arguing just moments before, immediately united in response.
âDonât worry, President. She will definitely choose Great Xia University,â Professor Chen assured, looking serious. âI have no other requests, but I must ensure she joins the physics department!â@@novelbin@@
Hearing this, Professor Xu became enraged and resumed arguing with him.
Seeing the situation escalating, Great Xia Universityâs dean took advantage of the professorsâ quarrel, quietly sneaking out of the office along the wall.
He couldnât afford to deal with this, so he decided to slip away.

Song Wenhuaâs public image collapsed utterly this time.
Because the persona she portrayed differed so drastically from reality, coupled with the buzz generated by Si Fuqing, she stayed at the top of the trending list for a whole day and night, which shattered the publicâs image of her as a childhood star.
Years of hard work were destroyed overnight.
[Forget being the nationâs little sister, itâs all just marketing.]
[I donât get it. Why couldnât she just focus on acting and studying seriously? Did she have to drag others down to succeed?]
[Sigh, itâs disappointing. Song Wenhua had such a bright future. Why did she choose to ruin it?]
Song Wenhua didnât dare look at the comments online. Her math score of 32 and English score of 45 had spread across the entire internet.
She still couldnât fathom how things had spiraled to this point.
If she had known that Si Fuqing would bring such immense attention, she would never have tried to ride on her coattails.
Listening to her agent take call after callâall of them from brands wanting to terminate their contracts with herâSong Wenhua felt a deep sense of despair.
Their contracts included a clause that if an artist generated significant negative news, the brand had the right to terminate the agreement and seek compensation.
Despite having accumulated considerable wealth over the years in the entertainment industry, Song Wenhua didnât have enough liquid assets to immediately pay off the eight-figure sum she now owed.
After finishing the calls, her agent, utterly exhausted, asked, âWenhua, have you decided what to do next?â
Song Wenhua pressed her lips together and softly replied, âIâm planning to go abroad.â
The thought of repeating the year was too overwhelming for her, and she couldnât bear the idea of facing the publicâs scrutiny and ridicule.
