Chapter 386: First Place in the Preliminary of the Five-Subject Examination!
He was stunned.
His gaze softened.
In the end, he didn’t say anything.
…
The frenzy on the internet wasn’t over yet.
After reading Jiang Chenglang’s reply, everybody was already imagining a big reality show featuring the wealthy Jiang family, one that would contain 100s of episodes.
However, the person involved hadn’t shown up yet, and the secrets of the wealthy weren’t so easily known. They could only sit back and wait for more news to surface.
For a time, the trending topics on Weibo were all related to the Jiang Corporation.
At this time, someone posted another Weibo post under the topic of #JiangXingyisYoungerSister.
[I seem to have discovered something extraordinary! Let me slow down… I don’t know if your guys have heard of the five-subject examination. Yes! That very famous five-subject examination! The one where names of the top ten will be fast-tracked to any university of their choosing!
I was fortunate enough to have been chosen to participate in the preliminary examination. The results had just been announced and I had just gone to take a look. The girl in first-place, her surname is Jiang and she’s from A High… I just want to ask those from A High, could they be sisters?]
Some time went by but no one replied to the post.
An hour later, finally, someone replied: [I’m a student from A High, I’ll verify it for you. It’s true, the first-place rank is Jiang Xingyi’s sister.]
The original poster: [!!! Help me get to the top. I want to pay my respects to my sister!]
Originally, this reply did not cause much of a stir.
Another half an hour passed in silence.
After everyone finished discussing Jiang Yu’s good looks, they started searching “high school” and “Jiang Xingyi’s sister”. They wanted to see if there were any more photos. Then, they saw this Weibo post.
Immediately, Weibo exploded again.
The announcement page for the results of the five-subjects examination almost crashed.
A large group of people had rushed in all at once and saw: First place in the five-subjects examination, Jiang Yu of A High, 500 points.
Full marks.
Everyone: …
She scored 100 points on all the papers? What the hell??
[Is there something wrong with my eyesight? There’s someone who can actually score full marks in all five subjects? Although it was only the preliminary examination, that was the preliminaries of the five-subject examination! It wasn’t some elementary school examination paper! No matter how easy it was, it must be very difficult to get full marks! When has anybody ever gotten full marks on all five subjects?]
[What the hell… This is really hard to look at… ]
[Take a look at the second place. 445 points, 55 points less than the first place… The second-place rank is already very strong. After all, the five-subject examination is used to select the top students, so the difficulty of each year’s examination paper should not differ too much.
Moreover, the questions are tricky, only then can the gap be widened among the top students but this kind of full marks… Forgive my incompetence but this is the work of a monster! Goodbye!]
[I’m tired of saying how sister can be so strong. She’s good-looking, has a good family background, and sings well. She has two outstanding brothers and is also a straight-A student. Oh, no, God of Learning! Sister, you’re so outstanding, what is left for the rest of us?!]
[I just want to ask if there’s anything that my sister doesn’t know how to do?]
[I just want to ask if my sister still lacks a sugar daddy?]
[I just want to watch my sister’s daily life now. I want to see what God of Learning’s life is like!]
…
Cui Chaoying left A High, and although she had suffered a setback with Jiang Yu, she did not lose heart.
This was a good opportunity. She would never give up easily.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to become the producer of Apple TV at the age of 30.
She has produced a lot of popular shows, but Cui Chaoying wasn’t satisfied with that. She felt that in the current market, competitive game shows or talent shows were the most popular. Jiang Xingyi had come from a talent show himself.
Chapter 387: She Was Already a Star
In regards to Jiang Xingyi’s sister, Jiang Yu, with her excellent qualities, she could easily become the next Jiang Xingyi and be the highlight of the show.
However, Jiang Yu wasn’t willing. She was indeed rich and beautiful, so there was no need to cooperate with her. Cui Chaoying had come over today mainly to test Jiang Yu’s reaction.
Not good.
She habitually logged into Weibo to see if there was any important new information. She saw that the topic of Jiang Yu was trending once again. Once she logged in, her eyes widened in surprise.
Five-subject exam?
Full marks?
Cui Chaoying was very clear on what full marks meant.
It was simply impossible.
In the blink of an eye, many program titles flashed through Cui Chaoying’s mind, such as ‘First World War of Fame’, ‘Super Brain’, etc etc. They all needed a genius like Jiang Yu. Someone like her would definitely increase the viewership ratings.
Until…
She saw a Weibo post:
[I want to watch the daily life of the God of Learning! I can watch over 100 episodes!]
In a flash, an idea popped up in Cui Chaoying’s mind.
She had already seen the clip of Jiang Xingyi singing with Jiang Yu at his concert many times. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come looking for Jiang Yu today.
She also noticed how protective Jiang Yu was over Jiang Xingyi, as well as Jiang Xingyi’s level of care for Jiang Yu.
This pair of siblings…
Jiang Xingyi was famous for not being a fan of variety shows, but what if… He was to go on with his little sister?
Cui Chaoying’s tapped her fingers on the handrail as she smiled cunningly.
This was something that needed to be discussed with the people at Tianhe Records. Right now, the most important thing was to come up with a plan.
Cui Chaoying raised her chin. “Go back to the station and gather the team for a meeting. I have a new idea for the show.”
…
The other two brothers, whose names hadn’t been mentioned, had also seen the comments online.
Jiang Zeyu had even replied, “I’m sorry, Sister already has a lot of money and doesn’t need more.”
The other netizens just thought that he was another fanatic fan and of no consequence.
Jiang Jingnian looked at his own face in the mirror and snorted in disdain.
What was so cool about those two brothers?
The people on the Internet really hadn’t seen the world.
…
The Feng family home.
Ke Yanbin asked in confusion, “Master knew that Miss Jiang’s appearance would cause a stir, so why did you…”
Wouldn’t this attract even more wild bees and butterflies?
Wasn’t master jealous?
Feng Linbai was watering the flowers.
He put down the watering can and smiled faintly. “She was already a star.”
No one could hide the radiance of a star.
She was supposed to shine.
All he needed to do was stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
…
On the other side of the Feng family home.
Although Feng Le’an had been rejected by Jiang Yu, it didn’t stop him from asking for more information about Jiang Yu.
It was no surprise that he found out that Jiang Yu had scored full marks in the preliminary five-subject examination.
Feng Le’an: ??? Oh My God, my son, a bad student, actually fell in love with a straight-A student!
My son has really improved!
This story sounded just like his own. He had been a bad student who had fallen for a research institute professor and had even managed to win her. It had been a strange story.
Feng Le’an felt that Jiang Yu, with her results, provided him a good reason to continue inviting her to the Feng family in the name of tutoring Feng Tianrui.
He then thought of Jiang Yu’s condition. Since his son really likes the little girl, should he try to be brave for love? If he got 20 points, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to advance to 10th place, right?
Feng Le’an planned on waiting for Feng Tianrui to return to discuss this matter with him when he saw Feng Wenshu arrive home.
Feng Le’an rolled his eyes. He and Feng Wenshu weren’t on the same side, perhaps he should go have some fun.
Chapter 388: The Feng Family Wanted to Get Engaged to the Jiang Family
He walked up to Feng Wenshu and pretended to make casual conversation without even looking at him. “Aiya, Second Brother, have you seen the news? That little girl from the Jiang family got first place in the five-subject examination prelims. She’s really amazing!”
Feng Wenshu’s face was dark and he pretended not to hear Feng Le’an.
Since Feng Le’an had already started, he wanted to annoy his brother the whole way. “By the way, Second Brother, didn’t Junhao also participate in the exam this time? How did he do? What’s his rank?”
Truth be told, Feng Le’an already knew that Feng Junhao was ranked third this time, one point less than second place.
One point less was still less though. It was fine if he was behind Jiang Yu but he hadn’t even got second place. Feng Wenshu must be furious.
Feng Wenshu knew Feng Le’an’s intentions but refused to show his emotions in front of Feng Le’an. He calmly said, “The results just came out, right? I haven’t had the time to ask him. If you want to know, you can ask Junhao when he gets home.”
Feng Le’an pretended to be surprised. “Second Brother, there was a time after the last exam, you didn’t ask Junhao about his results immediately as well. Is it because you knew he didn’t get first place, so you just didn’t ask? You’re so good at predicting the future, Second Brother.”
Feng Wenshu’s forehead twitched. He resisted the urge to slap Feng Le’an to death, “I’m busy with work at the moment, so I can’t always keep an eye on Junhao’s results. Besides, Junhao knows that he doesn’t need me to worry. He’s not like Tianrui, who will sneak out to play games if don’t watch him closely.
“At least Jun Hao still has the qualifications to participate in the five subjects joint examination. I’m afraid Tianrui can’t even understand the questions, right?”
Feng Le’an smiled slightly. “I wouldn’t worry, Second Brother. Rui’er has been well-behaved recently. He’s been staying in his room.”
Feng Wenshu snorted coldly. “More like he’s holed up in his room playing games, am I right?”
Feng Le’an: “He hasn’t skipped class recently either.”
Feng Wenshu: “Sleeping in class is indeed not bad.”
Feng Le’an: “Does Junhao like being stepped on by a little girl?”
Feng Wenshu: “It’s better than being like Tianrui who’s stepped on by countless people.”
Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing again, Feng Zhiyi and Zhao Ningzhen stepped in.
Feng Zhiyi said unhappily, “Why are you arguing again? Do you feel no shame?”
The two of them immediately shut up.
Feng Zhiyi had already heard the two of them. He looked at Feng Le’an and asked, “Which little girl of the Jiang family do you speak of? Jiang Wan or… Jiang Yu?”
Feng Le’an replied, “It’s Jiang Yu, Father.”
Feng Zhiyi said thoughtfully, “I didn’t expect Jiang Yu’s results to be so good.”
Feng Le’an was about to say something when Feng Wenshu interrupted him and said, “Junhao didn’t get first place in the five-subject prelim exams. The first place went to Jiang Yu.”
Rather than being stabbed in the face by Feng Le’an in front of his father, it was better for him to quickly speak for himself.
Feng Le’an knew what his brother was thinking, so he added, “Jiang Yu had gotten full marks on every paper, having a total of 56 points more than Junhao.”
Feng Wenshu: “…”
He glared at Feng Le’an. Feng Le’an shook his body and continued to goad, “Jiang Yu got first place in the last monthly exam as well. Second Brother didn’t dare to say anything about it. Last time we asked him, Junhao was there too, and he didn’t dare admit his loss.”
“Maybe Junhao couldn’t accept such a blow. This time… Second Brother, you have to teach Junhao a lesson. I’m afraid he won’t be able to accept it again.”
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Feng Wenshu retorted. “Junhao has a tough personality. What’s the big deal about such a small matter?”
Feng Le’an seemed to heave a sigh of relief. “It’s good that you’ve gotten over it. It’s fine. There will be plenty of other instances like this in the future as well.”
Feng Wenshu: … He wanted to beat this little brother to death right here, right now.
First, he insinuated that Feng Junhao’s temperament wasn’t good. Then, after he had beat his little brother back, Feng Le’an switched tracks and implied that Feng Junhao wouldn’t be able to turn things around in the future.
They were still in front of Feng Zhiyi though. He found them really annoying.
“Alright, stop talking. What are you talking about?”
Feng Zhiyi cut their conversation short and turned to Feng Wenshu. “Why didn’t you tell me that Junhao didn’t get first place in the last monthly test?”
Feng Wenshu’s heart skipped a beat.
He thought: It’s over.
He had hidden it from Feng Zhiyi because he didn’t want him to know. After all, a small matter like the monthly test results wouldn’t be reported to Feng Zhiyi.
He knew that Junhao wouldn’t be found out, but who knew, because of the five-subject examinations, that Feng Le’an would expose his son!
Feng Wenshu explained, “Dad, Junhao’s performance in the last exam was abnormal. I thought it was just an accident, so I didn’t tell you…”
Feng Le’an interjected, “So his performance this time was also abnormal?”
Feng Wenshu glared fiercely at Feng Le’an. “If you don’t speak, no one will take you for a mute.”
Zhao Ningzhen opened her mouth. “You two are blood-related. Why are you fighting with each other? Le’an, Wenshu is also your older brother. You should be more polite.”
Feng Le’an didn’t respond and merely lowered his head.
Feng Zhiyi swept a glance over the two of them. “Find an opportunity to have Jiang Yu come to the Feng family as a guest.”
Feng Le’an suddenly raised his head.
Feng Wenshu was also surprised.
This was the first time Feng Zhiyi had taken the initiative to invite the daughter of any other family to the Feng family home.
In the past, Feng Wenshu or his brothers had invited some over, and even though he had let them come, Feng Zhiyi had never commented on any of them.
“Okay, Father…”
Feng Zhiyi pointed out, “Go and invite her. If possible, invite her big brother and her other sister as well. The reason is…”
Feng Zhiyi paused and said meaningfully, “Just say that the Feng family wants to discuss wedding arrangements with the Jiang family and invite them over.”
Feng Wenshu was shocked.
Feng Le’an wasn’t any better.
He had a bad thought.
He felt…
That Feng Zhiyi might try to match Jiang Yu with Feng Junhao…
What about Rui’er?
No!
He had to quickly discuss this with his wife!
Feng Wenshu’s expression changed and he agreed, “Alright, Father. I’ll make the arrangements.”
Feng Zhiyi nodded and left with Zhao Ningzhen.
Before leaving, Zhao Ningzhen glanced at Feng Wenshu but did not say anything.
…
This news quickly reached Feng Linbai’s ears.
“You said that Feng Zhiyi invited Yu’er to discuss wedding arrangements?”
Feng Linbai sneered. “An old fox is indeed an old fox. He even wants to use Yu’er to test me. Guess what he wants to do?”
Ke Yanbin said in a serious tone, “Your subordinate doesn’t want to guess.”
Was he stupid?
After being tricked so many times by his master, he had already begun to doubt his own intelligence. Why would he still want to guess?
“If you don’t want to guess, I’ll have you married off.”
Ke Yanbin was silent for a moment. “Master, he died early in the morning. There’s no longer any arranged marriage.”
Feng Linbai glanced at his subordinate. “It seems that I haven’t been clear enough with Feng Zhiyi. I have my heart set on Yu’er. I’ll tell him clearly that his broken assets are worthless in my eyes.”
