Great Xia No.l High School or Etno Academy?
The middle-aged man found it laughable. Many top students couldnât even get into these institutions, and here was Si Fuqing, who had dropped out for years, daring to mention them.
Preposterous.
Originally, when Tianle Media brought up this idea, he considered that Si Fuqings recent popularity could indeed make her a desirable candidate for their school, which would attract more students in the long run.
However, he didnât expect her to be so ungrateful.
âSo youâre saying that Jialan Drama Academy is prestigious?â Si Fuqing leaned back in her chair, adopting a laid-back posture. âWell, then, let me ask you a question. Youâre from the admissions department; you should be educated.â
The middle-aged man was growing impatient but agreed anyway, âFine, ask away. I can handle it.â
What can a high school dropout possibly ask?
Si Fuqing borrowed paper and a pen from a staff member, scribbled down a question, and slapped it on the table. âHere, solve this.â
He picked up the paper and his expression changed upon seeing it.
Symbols and equations were scrawled next to a curve graph.
He hadnât seen this type of problem or even the graph itself before.
He could barely make it out that it was a physics question.
The middle-aged manâs forehead broke out in a cold sweat, his face stinging with a fiery pain, as he wished he could swallow back the three words he had previously uttered with such confidence, âcan handle it.â
âFine, you donât know the answer. But this is one of the most basic physics questions taught in college. It seems you havenât studied physics,â Si Fuqing lazily raised her hand. âSo, has your school produced any remarkable artists? Someone on the level of Lu Ningâs voice?â
The middle-aged manâs face turned an even deeper shade of blue. âHow dare you!â
Lu Ning was a singer with significant standing in the Great Xia Empire, and a graduate of the prestigious Hera Music Academy, no less.
Compared to that, Jialan Drama Academy was nothing.
âNo? Thought so.â Si Fuqingâs smile deepened. âYour school neither excels in academics nor the arts. Am I wrong to call it a diploma mill?â
The manâs face twisted in fury.
âGet him out,â Si Fuqing buttoned up her coat and suppressed her smile. âSeems like you didnât take my words seriously last time. This is the last time; donât let irrelevant people disturb me.â
The staff member quickly apologized, âTeacher Si, we promise this wonât ever happen again.â
He then signaled for the middle-aged man to leave, who stormed off, anger oozing from every step.
Outside the training base, he called a woman named Feng. âWhat kind of creature have you groomed? I kindly offered her a prep class, and do you know what she said?â
âShe said that Tialan Drama Academy is a dinloma mill! She even gave me some
ridiculous question!â
Feng Peizhiâs anger flared up as well, but she could only try to soothe him. âSir, sir, please donât be angry, sheâs just an ignorant girl, what does she know?â
âIâll put it plainly right here, no matter how you try to push her onto me, I wonât accept her, â the middle-aged man said coldly. âShe thinks sheâs too good for our school, right? Well, Iâm curious to see where sheâll end up finding a better opportunity!â
Without waiting for Feng Peizhi to say anything more, the middle-aged man hung up the phone.
Still fuming, he opened his phone and posted a tweet from his personal account.
[@Jialan Drama Academy Xue: Some stars these days, barely gaining a bit of fame, have already become so arrogant they forget who they are. It doesnât matter if youâre from the entertainment industry or not, if you stop learning, youâre bound to fail eventually!]
This personal account had about ten thousand followers who were quite puzzled by the tweet.
[The teacher is right, one is never too old to learn.] [Who is it? Who made Teacher Xue angry?]
The middle-aged man replied with a sarcastic tone.
[Itâs a certain famous female celebrity who dropped out of school, relying on her beauty to get by.]
Suddenly, the fans had an epiphany.
[I get it, itâs SFQ.]
[What does SFQstand for? Never heard of it.]
[Si Fuqing, the divine beauty of the Great Xia. Not to be rude, but being beautiful is one thing, having an education is another. You canât just stop studying because youâre pretty, right?]
[Without education, one wonât get far. Just wait for Si Fuqing to fall.] Qu Lingyun rarely went online, but when she did, this was the tweet that popped up..
