Chapter 396 - Taking Away Sister Nian's Examination Paper

"Qiao Nian is the first person in history to get a full score in Qing University's exam."

A full score.

The room was dead silent.

Liang Lu thought she had heard wrong. She grabbed the edge of the table so tightly that veins popped out on her hands. It was so shocking that it took her a long time to regain her clarity!

How was it possible for Qiao Nian to score full marks?

She had specially conducted checks on Qiao Nian's grades, which were not outstanding even in Rao City. Many students from different provinces had come to sit for the entrance examination. None of them got a full score. It seemed like a joke that Qiao Nian got a full score.

She took a deep breath and held on to some hope in her heart. "Did you make a mistake in grading the papers? Are you sure it was Qiao Nian's paper that got the full score?"

The teacher in charge of grading the papers felt uncertain. She picked up the paper, checked the name on it, and showed it to her. "It's indeed Qiao Nian's paper. Look, is it not written here, under the column for the student's name? Qiao Nian, from the First High School in Rao City."

Liang Lu took the paper mechanically. She lowered her head and stared at the two words written on it. It was Qiao Nian!

The words written using a water-based pen were blatantly flamboyant, and the character of the writer could be felt through her handwriting. Each stroke showcased her spirit.

It was like a rebellious lion!

Her eyebrows were twitching uncontrollably and would not stop. Her mind was blank and she could not respond.

At this time, Cheng Wu was still subtly provoking her. "Professor Liang, your sights are set so high. You didn't even want someone of this caliber in the Clinical Department."

Whoever said that she did not want someone like this in her department?

She felt as though someone was choking her. Her mouth opened and closed wordlessly. Even if she tried to speak, her throat felt as though it was stuffed with cotton, and she couldn't make a single sound.

It was embarra.s.sing and ugly!

She didn't expect Qiao Nian to have such good grades, and even score full marks. This was a full score, and it was the dream of many teachers to take in a student with her talents. If she had known that Qiao Nian's grades were so good, she wouldn't have spoken so much before!

She only said all those things because she thought Qiao Nian's grades were poor!

Liang Lu was so happy before, but seeing Qiao Nian's grades, she now regretted her actions.

But Cheng Wu didn't give her a chance and blocked her way. "Since Professor Liang does not like this student, there are still vacancies in the Finance Department. During the interview, I will ask if she's willing to enter our Finance Department. I will leave it to her to decide the conditions if she's willing!"

Other departments were also determined to not be outdone.

"Please don't try to convince her, Professor Cheng. Your Finance Department recruits so many outstanding students every year, I'm sure you can leave one student for our Physics Department. I think Qiao Nian has the potential to study in our department."

"Don't speak nonsense. She's so good in advanced mathematics, would it not be a waste if she doesn't study architecture? In the future, there will be another top-cla.s.s architect in China!"

Cheng Wu smiled, his att.i.tude firm and unrelenting. "Everyone, let's stop arguing. I still believe it is best for her to study in the Finance Department. Although many outstanding students enter our department, this is the first time someone scored full marks. I won't give her up no matter what any of you say!"

Qing University had two specialized majors. One was the Finance Department and the other was Liang Lu's Clinical Department.

Afraid that Liang Lu would regret it, he reminded her, "Professor Liang, you just said that you didn't want Qiao Nian. You cannot take back your words now."

Liang Lu's cheeks trembled fiercely, as though she had been slapped in the face. Her cheeks were crimson. She held onto the paper for a long while and could not speak. After taking a few deep breaths, she managed to squeeze out a sentence. "I will take this paper away."

Everyone else was initially arguing about whose department Qiao Nian should go to. When they heard her words, they all turned to look at her.

The scores were yet to be recorded. If Liang Lu took the paper away now, how was anyone supposed to calculate the score for the record?
