Outside the examination hall, students partic.i.p.ating in the Mathematical Olympiad compet.i.tion, along with their schools princ.i.p.al and teachers, remained anxiously waiting. Despite the winter chill, they persevered and waited outside.
Ye Xiyuan was among them. Though she maintained a facade of composure, her heart was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with anxiety, especially as the system remained unresponsive to her repeated calls. It nearly doubled her apprehension.
While the system had shown signs of issues recently, she knew she couldnt succeed without its help. She had just submitted several clothing design drafts to Ye Li, and the companys hopes for the fas.h.i.+on design compet.i.tion now rested on her shoulders.
Without the systems aid, victory was impossible. She dreaded the prospect of losing her utility and how her father, Ye Li, might treat her.
She couldnt rely on Murong Yanshu any longer. They hadnt crossed paths since the last banquet. Even phone calls to the Nangong family only received a dismissive reply from the servants claiming she was too busy. She knew clearly that Murong Yanshu had distanced herself from her following the revelations made by Nangong Xuyao at the event. Though she retained the t.i.tle of Murong Yanshus G.o.ddaughter, she couldnt bask in her G.o.dmothers glory.
Now, she could only pray for divine intervention, hoping to secure first place in the Mathematical Olympiad compet.i.tion. Only then could she reap the rewards from the system. With her augmented beauty and innate excellence, finding a man superior to Nangong Xuyao shouldnt be too challenging.
Shengan High Schools princ.i.p.al, Zheng Anyang, remained outside, not in his car, anxiously awaiting the results. Despite his confidence in Ye Lengan, he couldnt completely ease his mind as the results hadnt been announced yet.
Hey, Princ.i.p.al Zheng, youre waiting for the results! The princ.i.p.al of Capital No.l High School approached, looking at Zheng Anyang with a smiling face. He quipped, Princ.i.p.al Zheng, you seem full of confidence this time! I wonder if the outcome will align with your wishes!
Hehe, the results will be revealed soon, wont they? Zheng Anyang replied with a confident smile. l know Capital No.l High School has dominated for several years. Its time for you to take a step back!
Its all about ones own abilities, Princ.i.p.al Zhou a.s.serted with confidence. As long as Princ.i.p.al Zhengs students possess the capability, theyll claim the top spot.
Despite his words, Princ.i.p.al Zhou exuded strong faith in his own students. After all, over the past few years, their school had consistently emerged as the victor in the Mathematical Olympiad. Most of the capitals finest students had congregated at Capital No.l High School, and with their robust teaching staff, the quality of their students was unparalleled.
Of course, Zheng Anyang concurred, flas.h.i.+ng a confident smile. When the time comes, well see the abilities of our two schools students.
It appears Princ.i.p.al Zheng is indeed quite confident! Princ.i.p.al Zhou nodded and grinned. I heard that a student from your school submitted her paper half an hour into the exam!
This information was not a secret; it was likely that everyone in the examination hall was aware. When the student left the examination hall, she had done so openly, with no intention of concealing anything.
Zheng Anyang was aware that Princ.i.p.al Zhou was referring to Ye Lengan, but he remained composed and responded, Indeed, there is such a student.
Then it seems that your schools students are truly remarkable! Princ.i.p.al
Zhou smiled and remarked, They say several professors from the Capital
Universitys Mathematics Department were involved in setting the
Mathematical Olympiad this time. Its said to be the most challenging paper in history. Yet, your student submitted her paper within half an hour. It seems that youve educated her well!
Though Princ.i.p.al Zhou praised the student, his expression showed no admiration. Instead, he appeared to be enjoying the spectacle, indicating his skepticism regarding the students ability to excel in all the questions..
