Chapter 694 - Neat & Tidy

Shen Qianzi frowned with displeasure as she took a look at her own results. When she recalled that Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao mentioned that they had failed all the papers, however, her mood improved a little. She told them, “I barely passed with 60-odd marks.”

Just then, Xu Wan, from the dorm next to theirs, ran over crying. “Qianzi, come comfort me! I failed all the papers and I scored only 40 plus marks for advanced mathematics! I’ve never gotten such lousy scores before! This is a whole new record.”

“What the—” Before Shen Qianzi could say anything, Xu Wan’s eyes bulged when she saw her scores. “Your results are so good! So far, only a handful have managed to pass the exams!”

Shen Qianzi asked in surprise, “Many people failed the exams?”

Xu Wan nodded. “In our dorm, only Yang Meng managed to pass anatomy and advanced mathematics. The rest of us fared terribly.”

While Shen Qianzi lowered her eyelids, Xu Wan went on to say, “I think you’ll top the department, Qianzi. You scored so well.”

Shen Qianzi smiled and said, “We don’t know how others scored yet. Let’s just wait for the overall rankings.”

“I think the rest of the department did just as badly. I heard from the guys that they didn’t fare well either.” Xu Wan took another look at her friend’s results. “Qianzi, you’re really smart.”

Shen Qianzi hooked her lips.

Xu Wan then turned to the other two and asked about their results. “Xiaoxiao, how did you and Zheng Miao fare on the exams?”

Tang Xiaoxiao sighed and scrunched up her face. “I failed three subjects.”

Didn’t she fail all of them? Shen Qianzi was surprised to hear this and it was then that she remembered Tang Xiaoxiao’s exact words. ‘I failed the first day’s exams.’ Does that mean she passed the three exams taken on the second day?

Xu Wan walked over and took a look at Tang Xiaoxiao’s results. She was astonished to see that she had scored far better than Shen Qianzi on the second day’s exams. Although Tang Xiaoxiao obtained only 50-odd marks for anatomy, surgery, and advanced mathematics, she scored 80 and above for the second day’s exams, which included English, biochemistry, and traditional chinese medicine.

She thought that Shen Qianzi’s results were pretty impressive already since many people had failed the exams, but it turned out that Tang Xiaoxiao had even better scores. She blinked in surprise. “Xiaoxiao, how did you get such high scores on those three subjects? They’re all 80 and above!”

Hearing this, Shen Qianzi immediately shot up to her feet and strode over to Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao’s side to take a look at their results. Sure enough, they had scored ridiculously well.

She squeezed her fingers as she stared at their results, her proud expression nearly slipping away.

...

Meanwhile, the counselor fell into a daze as he stared at the traditional chinese medicine department’s results shown on the computer screen. Gu Mang’s results...

His phone rang right at that moment. Upon noticing that the call was from Yang Tianming, he quickly answered it. “Professor Yang.”

“Has the traditional chinese medicine department’s results come out?” asked Yang Tianming.

The counselor replied, “Yes.”

“What’s Gu Mang’s overall rank?”

The counselor opened his mouth but did not know how to respond to the question. After a while, he said with much difficulty, “I think it’s better if you take a look at it yourself. I’ll email the document to you.”

On the other end, Yang Tianming raised his eyebrows. He started to feel nervous for some reason. “Okay.”

As soon as he ended the call, he received a new email in his inbox. He downloaded the attachment and opened it. In first place was Gu Mang. His eyes widened and his heart started racing. He could only use the phrase ‘neat and tidy’ to describe her results.

Knock, knock.

He looked up and saw a professor from the traditional chinese medicine department opening the door.

“Hey, how did that girl fare on the exams?” The professor rapped his knuckles symbolically on the door before entering. “I heard that she fell asleep 50 minutes into the surgery exam. When the proctor called her to wake up, she even threw a tantrum by turning in her papers early and going to another classroom to continue sleeping. How did such a student catch your eye?”
