After all the dishes were served, Wu Duo asked, “Can you tell me now, when did my father come to fix the machines?”

Qiao Mei already knew that Wu Duo had submitted the application to be on the list of underprivileged students. Wu Duo’s family barely had enough money to pay for their household expenses and his father was a person who liked to do good deeds. He always did repairs for other people without charging them. As time passed, the family did not have much money left. Qiao Mei was a person who cherished talented people, so she wanted to help Wu Duo’s family.

Qiao Mei had already expected Xie Jing to kick up a fuss about Wu Duo being on the list of underprivileged students, but she did not expect him to be so impatient. Qiao Mei sent Wu Duo’s father to the school as a representative of the factory to repair the machines for free. On one hand, it was to create awareness for the factory, and on the other hand, it was to make the school value the presence of Wu Duo, Qiao Mei and the others.

To put it bluntly, she was trying to curry favor with the principal so that the school management would not think that they were troublemakers.

“So that’s how it is! No wonder I don’t know anything! So this is all part of your plan!” Wu Duo said as he looked at Qiao Mei in surprise.

“Pick up a few pointers from this! Use your brain when you do things in the future! But now that Xie Jings reputation has been tarnished, you shouldn’t go and look for him too often. Otherwise, it will make it look like we’re doing it deliberately. How are your results recently? The examination period is coming up soon,” Qiao Mei asked.

“No problem! It’s really too easy!” Wang Wei said proudly.

“My father has taught me how to repair machinery since I was young. I definitely won’t have any problems!” Wu Duo said relaxedly.

Li Xue was the only one who did not say a word. She was studying medicine, where the books were known to be thicker than bricks. The thing was that every book was thicker than a brick. There was no way that she could memorize everything.

“Let’s not talk about it. I really want to die now. It’s really too difficult to memorize everything! Why did I pick this major back then!” Li Xue said in agony.

“You probably want to make life difficult for yourself. But it’s a good thing to study medicine. In the future, you’ll be an angel who saves lives,” Qiao Mei said.

“That’s true. It has always been my dream to become a doctor. My biggest dream is to save many many people,” Li Xue said.

Qiao Mei thought for a long time and said, “If you are serious about studying medicine, I can introduce you to my aunt so that you can be a volunteer at her hospital during the holidays. You can learn from her, but it’s an unpaid role and it’s very tiring.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Really! Of course I’m willing to do that! This is an opportunity that other people can only dream of! Can I really go to the hospital to be a volunteer?” Li Xue asked as she looked at Qiao Mei expectantly.

“Of course. When I have some time, I’ll talk to my aunt. You have to study hard now and don’t be an airhead when the time comes. Otherwise, I’ll be so embarrassed!” Qiao Mei said as she tapped Li Xue’s head.

“Yes, madam! I’m now filled with motivation to study and full of passion for more knowledge! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get first place among my cohort in this examination!” Li Xue said firmly.

“Then I’m looking forward to hearing good news from all of you. You have to be among the top three in your cohort! If you don’t do well in your studies, you’ll be ruining my reputation!” Qiao Mei said.

“We promise to complete the mission!” the three of them said in unison.

In the next few days, everyone worked hard in their studies. Even Xie Jing was focused on preparing for the examination. The school awarded scholarships every year. Students with outstanding results would be given a certain amount of money. The first-class scholarship was 50 dollars, the second-class scholarship was 30 dollars and the third-class scholarship was 10 dollars.

The school would hold three examinations in a semester. The student in the first place would get five credit points, the second place would get three credit points, and the third place would get one credit point. At the end of the semester, whoever had the most credit points would be the top-ranking student of the semester. The scholarships was awarded according to the placements.

If a student received the first-class scholarship every year, that student would definitely garner more attention after graduation and might even qualify to go for further studies. Xie Jing had already been a first-class scholarship winner for two consecutive years.

At night, Cui Hua asked Xie Jing to go outside and whispered, “I’ve found out everything you asked me to investigate the last time. It’s all written on this piece of paper. Take a look.”

After Xie Jing understood the grudge between Tan Jing and Qiao Mei, as well as the Huang family’s status in the capital, he said, “I know what to do.”

Early the next morning, Tan Jing received a call from Xie Jing proclaiming hisdesire to work with her. Tan Jing smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to agree so quickly. I’m looking forward to hearing good news from you. I hope we can work well together.”

“Let’s work well together,” Xie Jing said..
