Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 391: 119: The results are out, a slap in the face came so fast_1

Zhang Qiang said, “This girl obviously doesn’t have the temperament of a studious student. I guess my wife must have had a lapse in judgement this time.”

The other two teachers nearby nodded in agreement, “She indeed doesn’t seem to be the type.”

Another female teacher said, “Don’t judge a book by its cover; no one can fathom the vast ocean. Just because this girl is pretty doesn’t imply she is poor in academics. Perhaps, she had already finished her test paper before falling asleep?”

“It’s only been half an hour. Others barely have enough time, unless she’s a prodigy.”

How many prodigies could there possibly be in this world?

An hour of exam time quickly came to an end. The students sitting in the first row began collecting answer papers. Ni Yang’s seat happened to be in the middle.

With a stack of papers in his hand, Zhang Qiang contemplated pulling out Ni Yang’s sheet to have a look. However, he ditched the idea halfway.

What was he thinking?

He was actually harboring hope for a student who had slept during the exam.

That was quite silly.

Chuckling and shaking his head, Zhang Qiang, together with some other teachers, took the answer papers to the staff room to be handed over to the teachers in charge of grading.

The next exam was Mathematics.

Ni Yang was a businesswoman; math had always been her strong suit, so math didn’t pose any difficulty for her.

However, just as everyone claimed, each math question was indeed very tough.

As soon as the exam ended, the air was filled with the sound of sighs.

“Ni Yang, do you think the math paper was difficult?” Han Xiaoyu walked over to Ni Yang and asked with a worrisome expression.

Ni Yang gave a light smile, put away her stationery, and replied, “I think it was fine. How about you? What’s your feel?”

Han Xiaoyu sighed, “I am not sure either. Ni Yang, shall we compare our answers?”

“Sure.” Ni Yang nodded in agreement.

Han Xiaoyu had written all her answers on a piece of scratch paper. Comparing their answers for a while, Ni Yang assured her, “Xiaoyu, your answers are almost perfect. You really don’t need to worry.”

“Really?” Han Xiaoyu asked in surprise.

Ni Yang nodded, “However, I remember choosing ‘C’ for this question.”

“Was the answer to this question ‘C’?” Han Xiaoyu scratched her head and continued, “Given the set A={x|x=2n—l… wasn’t the answer supposed to be ‘B’?”

“I also selected ‘B’ for this question.” Hearing both of them discussing it, the short-haired girl sitting in front of them turned around to join the discussion.

Ni Yang explained, “This question is often mistakenly answered as ‘B’, probably due to a misunderstanding of the elements of the set. Set ‘A’ represents the set of odd numbers, and Set ‘B’={1,2,3,4}. Therefore, the correct answer should be ‘C’.”

The short-haired girl clutched her hair in regret, “Oh my God! I didn’t attempt the last question, and I got this question wrong too! I might fail!”

Seeing them discussing the exam question, a few others gathered around, “Are you guys discussing the fifth question of multiple choice?”

“Yes,” Han Xiaoyu nodded and said, “Exactly, it’s the fifth question.”

One of them frowned slightly and said, “The correct answer to this question should be ‘B,’ right?”

“I also chose ‘B’.”

“Me too!”

Almost everyone had chosen ‘B’ for this question.

Zhou Xuemei walked over with a sarcastic smile, “The answer to this question is ‘B.’ Some people deliberately pretend to know when they don’t and try to attract everyone’s attention. I wonder what their intentions are.”

What intentions?

Show-off intentions, of course!

Just because she is pretty, she thinks the whole world should revolve around her.

Zhou Xuemei despised this kind of siren the most! She could tell she’s no good.

Pretending to know when she doesn’t!

Ni Yang looked up with a smile, “No matter what I say here, the truth is always more persuasive. Whether the correct answer is ‘B’ or ‘C,’ everyone will know when the results are out.”

She wasn’t in a hurry to argue with everyone, maintaining her calm and composed demeanor throughout.

Her serene and elegant personality strongly contrasted with the sarcastic Zhou Xuemei.

Zhou Xuemei bit her lip resentfully, “So, you mean that all of us got it wrong and only you got it right?”

There were more than thirty people in the examination room! How could it be possible that only Ni Yang got it right?

Ni Yang responded in a light tone, “The results will be announced in three days, by then everyone will naturally see the answer.”

“And what if you lose?” Zhou Xuemei persisted.

“What do you think?” Ni Yang threw the question back at Zhou Xuemei.

Zhou Xuemei puffed up her chest, “If you lose, you will have to admit you were acting pretentious to gain attention and you have to apologize to me!”

“Agreed.” Ni Yang nodded, then asked counter-intuitively, “And what if you lose?”
