Xiao Liu pouted his mouth begrudgingly. This was not only because the government had blacklisted Ye Jiu but also because he had lost his chance to correct Ye Jiuâs learning attitude.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He had not expected Ye Jiu to get all the answers right.
âIs everyone related to Fu Zhi not normal? Heâs been graced by the goddess of luck, so itâs such a waste for him to be a student!â
Xiao Liu felt that he had to do something about it. He turned to Ma Mingquan and said, âDonât let Ye Jiu take any coins into the examination hall next time. With his godlike accuracy, itâs like heâs waging a war against us teachers.â
Ma Mingquan nodded. Before the bell rang, he pulled the student who had copied Ye Jiuâs paper aside.
According to an old saying, different people had a different destiny. Ye Jiu had gotten all 12 multiple-choice questions right, while the other student had only gotten two answers right.
Ma Mingquan went up to Ye Jiu to talk to him.
Director Liu then pulled Fu Zhi to a corner and said, âPlease watch over your brother. Donât let him bring any coins into the examination hall. Itâs against the rules.â
âReally?â Fu Zhi said, her voice flat. âIf my brother canât bring coins, why can the other students bring dice into the examination hall?â
She looked at Director Liu with a serious face. âDonât you think youâre being a little baised here, Xiao Liu?â
Director Liu was speechless.
âBaised? Isnât it biased? No wonder you scored a zero on your language paper! You canât even spell the word âbiasedâ properly! Everything has been revealed!â
Director Liu then cleared his throat and said expressionlessly, âWe should all play with our limits. The other students will give up sooner or later after they realize the dice canât help them, but your brother is different. He has already gone way too deep down this path. Besides, do you think the government will let him use coins during the college entrance examination? Iâm just helping him!â
âWell, thatâs hard to sayâ¦â Fu Zhi thought. That said, she felt that Director Liu was right as well, so she nodded. âAlright then. I will take his coins away. After all, he can get the answers right even without the coins.â
Director Liu was stumped. He did not know what to say at all.
How could someone get a perfect score on a test even though he had not studied?
As Fu Zhi was heading back to class, Director Liu grabbed her wrist and said, âHey, Iâm not done yet!â
âKeep going.â
Director Liu scratched his head, and it seemed like the words were stuck in his throat. Then, he pulled Fu Zhi to a corner and told her the problem that had plagued him for most of his life. âErm, donât you have some medical knowledge? And you know how to perform acupuncture, right? Can you tell me euphemistically whether you can make my hair grow back or not?â
Well, since Xiao Liu treated her nicely, Fu Zhi said euphemistically, âIâm not going to say if your hair loss is a serious problem or not, but regrowing your hair would definitely cause a global sensation.â
âYouâre getting detention,â Director Liu said.
Fu Zhi was stunned.
â
In the classroom, Ma Mingquan told everyone that Ye Jiu had scored a perfect mark in his Physics pop quiz.
After Xiao Ma and Xiao Liu left, a commotion broke out in the classroom.
Most of the boys who had seen Ye Jiu throw the coins went over to congratulate him.
âDo you know why I got full marks? It had nothing to do with throwing coins. I had a dream yesterday night, and in my dream, I saw the test paper.â
It was recess right now. Ye Jiu took his phone out, opened his WeChat QR code payment, and finally mentioned his ultimate goal fervently. âGuys! Are you still fretting about getting the last place in the examination? Are you still anxious about not scoring a perfect score on your test paper?
âFret not! The ultimate Ye Jiu guru is here to help, supported by Fu Zhi, the curve-breaker of No.1 High School!
âWe have millions of famous teachers on board to answer your questions, and the ultimate Ye Jiu guru will do his best to get you what you yearn for the most!
âItâs only 100 yuan! 100 yuan per subject! Trust me, you wonât regret it! What are you guys still waiting for? Itâs the best opportunity for you to show everyone else that youâre not underachievers! Hurry up and sign up now!â
Fu Zhi and the rest of the students were stunned.
The corner of Song Fangâs mouth quivered. âWhat appears in your dreams will appear in the test paper as well? Do you think Iâd believe such nonsense? Do you think Iâm an idiot?â
That said, he was the first one to grab Ye Jiuâs phone and transfer 400 yuan to him.
âIâm signing up for Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, and English. If you canât keep up your end of the bargain, youâre going to pay me back tenfold!â
In the end, more and more students transferred money to Ye Jiu. In just 10 minutes, he earned about 10,000 yuan. Then, he transferred one yuan to Fu Zhi to pay her for using her name to boost his business.
Fu Zhi looked at him quizzically.
âYouâre my mascot now, so thatâs your pay. Thereâs no way I would let you do your job for nothing. Youâre my sister and you deserve the best things in the world. No man standing, lying, crawling, or running under the sun can treat you badly!â Ye Jiu said as he waved his arm. âDonât feel bad about taking my money. You can use the one yuan I gave you to buy anything you want!â
Fu Zhi squinted her eyes and looked at Ye Jiu dangerously after hearing what he had said.
âI know you love me very much, so Iâm sure youâd be willing to die for me, right?â

On the other side of the city, inside the lobby of a hotelâ¦
A man wearing a black trench coat entered the hotel in a haste. When he saw Ouyang Ya, he handed the document in his hand to her before reporting reverently, âAfter a thorough investigation, I found out that Fu Zhi indeed has some knowledge of medicine. Sheâs the one who cured a patient with a strange illness when none of the doctors in Yu City could. Besides, many bigshots from the medical industry stepped in and stood up for her when she was accused of copying Z Godâs research paperâ¦â
The man had the special symbol of the Ouyang Family pinned on his chest. He had been specifically assigned to keep Ouyang Ya safe.
âWhere is the information about the relationship between her and the FZ Research Institute?â
Upon hearing Ouyang Yaâs question, the man frowned and replied, âI couldnât find anything about the relationship between her and the FZ Research Institute. I have no idea why but I have a feeling that someone is preventing me from getting this information. Also, I was given a warning while I was following Fu Zhi in the past few days.â
Ouyang Ya lifted her head from the document and said, âA warning? What do you mean by that?â
The man then pulled a bullet out of his pocket and showed it to Ouyang Ya. âAlthough the attacker missed his shot, I have a hunch that he or she would have shot me dead on the spot if he or she had wanted to. I couldnât even get close to Fu Zhi. I think thereâs someone protecting her behind the scenes.â
âSomeone is protecting Fu Zhi behind the scenesâ¦â
The more Ouyang Ya thought about it, the more she felt that the medicine in Fu Zhiâs Taobao shop was made by Fu Zhi herself.
Ouyang Ya took a deep breath and rubbed the spot between her brows.
âWhat should we do now?â the man asked.
Setting her jaw tight, Ouyang Ya said, âFu Zhi will never work with me. Not unless she wants me to do something for her.â
Besides, the elders of the Ouyang Family cherished people with talent the most, so Ouyang Ya could not have given Fu Zhi the opportunity to get in touch with the other elders of the Ouyang Family.
âGet me Mu Chenxi and Wu Zhiheng. I have a task for them.â
The man nodded. Then, a few minutes later, Mu Chenxi and Wu Zhiheng arrived at the hotel one after another.
Putting a smile on her face, Mu Chenxi asked, âWhat can I do for you, Ms. Ouyang?â
âI will invest another 100 million into your movie. However, you have to help me do something at the end of the month.â
â100 million!â
Mu Chenxiâs eyes glowed. However, she knew there was no free lunch in this world, so she asked, âWhat is it that you want me to do for you?â
âItâs none of your business. I will let you know when the time comes.â
Then, she turned to Wu Zhiheng, who looked rather distraught. âI canât get through to your father, so I need you to contact him and tell him about the investmentâ¦â
âMs. Ouyang, Iâm afraid I wonât be able to help you with that.â Wu Zhiheng interrupted before Ouyang Ya could finish her sentence. This was the first time he talked back to Ouyang Ya, but he did not have any other choice. âOther than Sun Yongge, many students have withdrawn from Hang Yuan as wellâ¦â
Honestly, a student withdrawing from their school was not that big of a deal. It was just that most of their parents had invested in Hang Yuan, and once they withdrew their children from the school, it would impact the financial status of Hang Yuan greatly.
Wu Zhiheng had no idea what was going on either. He had just brought his friends to No.1 High School for an exchange meeting. However, not only had he been humiliated in No.1 High School, but his own school was facing financial issues right now.
âWithdrawn? Do they not know that Iâve invested in Hang Yuan too? Are they looking down on the Ouyang Family?â
Wu Zhiheng shook his head. âMy father is attending a stone-gambling session in Myanmar, so I havenât told him about it yet. Under the circumstances, I canât make a decision alone or give you the money now.â
Although Ouyang Ya was not pleased, she knew she could not force Wu Zhiheng now.
âTry your best to reach him. I will discuss the matter with other shareholders of the school.â
Wu Zhiheng nodded and walked away.
At the same time, Mu Chenxi did not want to have anything to do with Fu Zhi after getting beaten by her again and again, not to mention that Mu Changqing had told her to stay as far away as possible from Fu Zhi. Therefore, she decided to stay put and wait for Ouyang Yaâs instructions.

The next day, at 4:00 a.m. in Myanmar, Wu Qi was surrounded by a group of professionals.
âPresident Wu, how is it going? Hasnât the bigshot told you which jade stone to buy?â
âNo. 23 seems promising. I heard that the secretary of the Lu Corporation has his eyes set on this stone as well.â
âThe Lu Corporation? Who do they think they are? Lu Jingqing is just a mamaâs boy, so thereâs no way he can compete with President Wu.â
âThatâs right. A few of the companies withdrew when they heard weâre joining the stone-gambling session this time. Lu Jingqing is the only one who still has the audacity to oppose us.â
Wu Qi was exhausted. He had been working nonstop for a few days and he looked haggard.
He held his phone and stared at the screen.
There was no news from the QQ group so far.
In the past, other than the Wu Family, other bigshots in the group also used to participate in the stone-gambling session, but this time, only the Wu Family had come.
Most importantly, even though they were talking inside the QQ group, whenever Wu Qi sent something to the group, they would just go silent.
Wu Qi had no idea why but he had a feeling that they did not like him. He did not know what had happened, so he tried to send a text message to Lao Liu. [Are you there?]
Lao Liu: [Nope.]
Wu Qi was speechless. That said, he still bit the bullet and continued typing. [Erm, President Liu, I wonder why you guys didnât join the stone gambling this time. I realize that our group leader hasnât been talking for a long time. Is there something big that I donât know about?]
Lao Liu did not reply to him instantly.
Wu Qi waited for nearly 30 minutes before Lao Liu finally replied, [Well, itâs not that I donât want to go to Myanmar, but our group leader is going to attend the stone-gambling session this time, so I naturally have to step aside.]
As for why their group leader refused to talk about anything in the group, he tried to give Wu Qi a hint. [There is a traitor in the group, and our group leader is not happy about it. Thatâs why she refuses to talk in the group.]
Wu Qi replied, [A traitor? Thereâs a traitor in our group? Then why donât we kick him out?]
Lao Liu: [Itâs his son who offended our group leader, so sheâs going to give his father another chance.]
Wu Qi had no idea why but he had a feeling that Lao Liu was talking about him. He then invited him to dinner once he returned to the capital to find out more about it. However, Lao Liu turned down his offer.
[Iâm sorry, but Iâm already dead. Iâm having a funeral for myself right now, so I wonât be able to come to dinner.]
Wu Qi was speechless.
Someone in the group had offended their group leader, and their group leader was coming to Myanmar too.
As Wu Qi was lost in thought, Wu Zhiheng video-called him.
Wu Qi answered the call and Wu Zhihengâs serious face appeared on the screen. âDad, something bad has happened to the school.â
Wu Qiâs expression changed, and his voice became stern. âWhat happened?â
Apart from the jewelry industry, the Wu Familyâs most profitable business was the private school.
Wu Qiâs reaction was something Wu Zhiheng had expected. Wu Zhiheng was afraid of his father. After all, Wu Qi expected a lot from him and scolded him more than he praised him. Instead of a relationship between father and son, they were more like a boss talking to his subordinate.
Wu Zhiheng did not dare hide anything from his father, so he told him everything that had happened at school.
âNot only Sun Yongge, but a lot of other students have transferred to public school. Donât you think this is weird, dad?â
âOf course itâs weird!â Wu Qi said. âTell me everything thatâs happened in Yu City.â
Although it was embarrassing, Wu Zhiheng still told his father everything.
âSo Sun Yongge was called back by his family after questioning Fu Zhi, and then the other students withdrew from the school as well, right?â
âBut dad, Fu Zhi is just an orphan. Sheâ¦â
âFool!â Wu Qi shouted as he smacked the table. âThe fact that she was adopted by the Lu Family although sheâs already 17 years old means that sheâs not a simple girl. Besides, her parents were researchers. Du Min is nice to her and Du Min is working for the Fu Corporation.â
Wu Qi did not think Fu Zhi could do anything to his family, but Du Min⦠He was a threat.
âMs. Ouyang has been talking to the parents of the students that withdrew from our school, but itâs not very effective. Dad, should I get someone to kidnap Fu Zhi and teach her a lesson?â
âDonât waste your time on her. Besides, we wonât be able to explain this to the research institute if they find out that weâre the ones who did it,â Wu Qi said.
After all, Lu Jingqing was in Myanmar right now and he had plenty of chances to get back at him. Then, he remembered what he had asked Wu Zhiheng to do before coming to Myanmar.
âDo you have a clue about the bigshot I asked you to find?â he asked.
