Chapter 191: Amazing Genius
The host cleared his throat, "Let's welcome our amazing genius!"
The whole hall was filled with applause as Tong Yang climbed down the final step to enter the hall. So many people and her classmates were filming the process.
With everyone's eyes on her, Tong Yang's every step was graceful and perfect, making everyone respect her.
As it was commonly known, nobody looked better than a successful and beautiful woman!
Bo Jingyi stood in a corner, watching Tong Yang's arrival while her eyes were filled with complex emotions.
A part of her felt like there was something about Tong Yang that seemed undeserving of this moment. She had taken the entrance examination last year and knew that it was no easy feat.
Also, statistics had been released, and it stated that this year was even harder.
She was someone that had always felt she was good at reading the room or people. So this situation left her greatly conflicted.
"Jingyi, after meeting you only once, Tong Yang really wanted me to invite you over. I'm sure she would be delighted when she sees you,"
Bo Jingyi wasn't surprised to hear that. Tong Yang was an arrogant person that liked to show off. To people like that, anything that could be shown off was important to them.
So it wasn't news that she wanted to build a relationship with her. Instead, it even made her look down on Tong Yang even more.
Was someone like her really deserving of getting top marks??
But even though those were her thoughts, she didn't show it on her face, after all, she was also someone that understood the way the world worked. It was clear to see that if she associated with Tong Yang for a while, she would also reap the benefits when they returned to the capital.
Thinking up to that point, she raised her neck high, adjusting her posture and then stepped towards the centre of the hall where Tong Yang was.
She could already see what angle the live stream was being taken from and walked towards Tong Yang from that direction.
"Miss Tong, congratulations on your great achievement. It is really not easy to get a result like that," her words were formal and warm. Not making anyone have a particular opinion.
However, Tong Yang didn't want that. Instead, she pulled Bo Jingyi to herself.
"Sister Jingyi, if you talk like that, people wouldn't know that we are good friends,"
On a normal day, Bo Jingyi wouldn't have appreciated someone that was trying to leech off her. But as a person, she also had her own ambitions and struggles.
Even though she was in the capital university, her father was a mayor of a city like City A, her influence wasn't that great and wasn't enough to push her into where she wanted.
She was still relying on studying hard and using her intelligence to climb up the social ladder. However, she had a rather large goal. The Qin Family! Because of this, she had to plan all of her actions strategically.
Right now, she understood that a relationship with Tong Yang would put her in the limelight in school, and it would also help in her academics.
For someone like Tong Yang could get full marks, she believed that she must have some special studying method!
"Let's take a picture together then!" The both of them quickly posed for a picture, smiling brightly.
At the same time, the live stream that was being held was starting to trend.
The common entrance was a large scale activity. People had also seen their results while some were waiting to check their friend's result on the full release.
All through the country, it was a common topic, now that someone with full marks was holding a celebration, it was quite normal that people wanted to see the person.
[how can she be so beautiful!]
[She's a beauty with the best kind of brains!]
[Can I marry you? My mother wants genius grandkids!]
There were all kinds of comments in the comment section. Each one weirder than the last one.
Tong Yang couldn't see it, but she could already imagine. Since she was being seen as a genius, she didn't want to abandon the guests and be seen pressing her phone, and so she left her phone in her small purse and greeted everyone politely.
Some of the media that her mother called also arrived, and one of them stepped forward to interview her.
"Miss Tong, getting full marks is something that hasn't happened in close to a decade. And even then, it can be said that the questions and difficulty level have increased over the years. Can you tell us how you were able to achieve this?"
Tong Yang's intelligence wasn't low, it was slightly above average and with the standard of City A high school, she would originally be a middle-performing student. However, she was able to make Rong Yue her seatmate.
Sometimes, she learnt from her, and sometimes, she copied her directly. Like that, she had taken herself from being an average student to being one of the top students.
But to her, studying was such a hard thing to do and so she gave an answer from her own perspective.
"In my final year, I had a big falling out with my friends because I didn't want to do all the activities they did. I also had to give up my chance to be Master Wang's student because studying was my priority then…"
Tong Yang paused as though just thinking of the things she gave up made her heartache. Even the reporter felt sad on her behalf. After all, which person didn't enjoy their last year in school?
At the same time, some people caught the most important part of that sentence.
Master Wang's student?!
Who didn't know Grandmaster Wang? Despite using their country's painting method, he had been commended by several international figures!
Even though he wasn't the oldest, people liked him the most. More importantly, all his life, he had never really had a student so hearing that she had a chance to be his student, so many people were amazed.
[is there any purpose to life? Not only is she a genius, but she can also even paint well???]
So many people were shocked out of their minds. However, City A's students that were in the same class as Tong Yang had a conflicted view.
Didn't Tong Yang try to steal from Rong Yue back then? After that, the two friends had fallen out, but now she said she had a chance?
Not just them, Bo Jingyi also had a conflicting opinion on this. She could see that Tong Yang was the type to seek fame. Was it really possible that she had given up on such a thing just to score top marks?
