Jian Yiling looked at the two of them skeptically.
âJian Yiling, tell us the truth!â Liu Wen interrogated. âYour grades have improved so much recently. Whatâs your secret method of studying?â
âYeah! Tell us the truth!â Hu Jiaojiao seconded.
When faced with these two âmenacing interrogatorsâ, Jian Yiling pondered for two seconds before she replied:
âNah. Itâs just that I remember and understand the content now.â
Jian Yiling spoke the truth.
However, this reply made Hu Jiaojiao feel incredibly sad for a moment. Why couldnât she remember the content she read? Why couldnât she understand the content?
âWhat about the tutor that you hired a while ago? Was he or she good at tutoring? Did they teach you a lot?â Liu Wen questioned.
âYeah, he was good.â
Jian Yiling recognized Qin Chuanâs ability.
Although she hadnât carefully listened to his explanations, she couldnât deny his skills.
âOh! Then itâs really the tutoring!â Hu Jiaojiao cried out.
Liu Wen continued to question Jian Yiling about her tutor, âWhatâs your tutorsâ name? What does he do? Where can I find one?â
Jian Yiling told Liu Wen the information about her tutor, âHis name is Qin Chuan. Heâs currently studying at Hengyuan University.â
As soon as Jian Yiling finished her sentence, Liu Wen and Hu Jiaojiao both looked at her in surprise.
Wasnât that the handsome guy who had just come to their school to give a talk?
âOh, everything makes sense now. No wonder your grades improved so fast. Your tutor is amazing.â Liu Wen lamented.
Hu Jiaojiaoâs eyes started to have stars in them again. âOh my god, your tutor is Qin Chuan? Iâm so jealous! No wonder you werenât interested in him at all when he came to visit our school that day! You probably have looked at him enough when he tutored you!â
Hu Jiaojiao and Liu Wen were both envious of Jian Yiling having such a tutor.
At this moment, Wang Xiangchong walked over, âDo you really think that she got better after being tutored? Someone already filed an objection to the organizer. They asked the organizer to review Jian Yilingâs results.â
Although Wang Xiangchong hadnât participated in the chemistry competition, he had still heard about its level of difficulty.
The top student in their year had only come tenth place. How could Jian Yiling possibly come first?
âWang Xiangchong, thatâs not very nice of you to say. Jian Yiling is one of our classmates. Itâs an honor for our class that she won the competition.â Liu Wen said quite seriously.
âHonor that someone attained by cheating and improper means is not honor. Itâs only a shame and disgrace.â
Wang Xiangchong spoke with confidence. His voice was loud and clear.
âWang Xiangchong, you donât have any proof. Donât talk nonsense...â Hu Jiaojiao puffed up. She was once again enraged by Wang Xiangchongâs words.
âWeâll find proof once the results of the investigation come out. Furthermore, I think someone here should know whether or not thereâs an issue with her results. I donât think you should be jumping the gun like that.â
After Wang Xiangchong finished his sentence, he walked away again.
However, Hu Jiaojiao was incredibly displeased with Wang Xiangchongâs attitude. She started to mutter: âWhy are you looking down on others? Even if someoneâs grades are bad, they can improve... This is just hidden talent and potential!â

In the Chemistry Office Building at Hengyuan University
The organizer of the chemistry competition had borrowed the office building at Hengyuan University.
The organizer was a middle-aged man who was in his early forties. He wore a suit and gave off a scholarly vibe.
There was a chemistry competition examination paper in front of the middle-aged man. The name of the student that owned the paper was Jian Yiling.
Most of the questions in their chemistry competition were beyond the scope of the high school syllabus. As a result, it was incredibly difficult for an average high school student to score well.
