374 Inheriting the Family Business
Shan Yue was already used to such sarcasm and it had no effect on her. She acted extremely casual, as if she did not take Gao Hua’s words to heart.
“It’s only because there’s an empty spot in the math team that the school asked me to come and broaden my horizons. However, no matter what, I’m the only student who scored full marks for the college entrance examination. If even Shan Xing, who can’t get into university, is qualified to sit here, then I’m completely qualified.”
Shan Xing, who was sitting beside Gao Hua, did not expect to be shot without saying anything. She was already angry, and facing Shan Yue’s words, she could not tolerate it for a moment.
“Isn’t it just playing tricks in the college entrance examination and getting full marks? We can’t even confirm if your results are real or fake.”
Shan Xing’s words were filled with mockery. “Even a good man knows not to mention the bravery of the past. Are you going to brag about this for the rest of your life? That’s right. Your current ability can only be limited to the achievement in front of you.”
“Can you get full marks for the college entrance examination if you can play some tricks? If I remember correctly, didn’t you also want to take advantage of the situation before the college entrance examination? However, in the end, you went for wool and came home shorn. Not only did you fail, but you didn’t even take the college entrance examination.”
The disdain between Shan Yue’s eyebrows was clearly visible. “At that time, you lied about being that math genius with a photocopied draft paper. In the end, you were dumbfounded when they gave you a paper to prove yourself. You didn’t even recognize the most basic symbols. I don’t have to help you recall anything else, right? You should have a much clearer impression than me.”
For a moment, Shan Xing was forced into a corner by Shan Yue’s words. Her face was filled with anger, and her red lips opened and closed. She wanted to say something but hesitated, not knowing what to retort.
“So what if there’s no college entrance examination? It won’t decide my life. When the two of us graduate in the future, relying on the Gao family’s strength and background, we can either choose to go back and inherit the family business or our family will arrange a decent job for us.”
Gao Hua was not idle either. “You might as well think about what to do with your future.”
Shan Yue had heard Gao Yang talk about the Gao family more than once. He was useless and had relied on the power behind him to reach this stage. It seemed that it was time to take the time to teach the Gao family a lesson.
At this moment, the light in the venue suddenly gathered in the middle of the stage. Under countless gazes, a host in a suit slowly came out of the elevator platform. The venue instantly erupted into thunderous applause.
Hence, Shan Yue ignored Gao Hua beside her and began to focus on the competition.
The host stood rooted to the ground and took a deep breath. After a simple greeting, he said, “I know that everyone is an elite selected by the various schools. The reason why we can all gather here today is for a common goal, the champion!”
He paused for a moment and looked around the entire venue. He raised his head again and said, “Then, the final winner of this year’s National High School Competition will be revealed in three hours. I believe everyone can’t control the excitement in their hearts and wants to compete in the questions. Then I won’t waste my breath. The competition begins now!”
The competition was divided into three stages: the preliminaries, the semi-finals, and the finals. Different contestants had to be sent out to fight in each stage, and each person could only participate in one stage of the competition. Once they participate multiple times, the school would be directly eliminated.
Every round would have a promotion system. The system would randomly match the schools of both sides and send out the designated contestants.
The two of them would face the same question. Students who used less time and got it right would win and win points for the school. Otherwise, they would fail.
In the finals, only the first or second place on the scoreboard were qualified to fight. After the three stages of the competition ended, the school with the highest points would be the winner.
With the host’s order, the tense and exciting competition began. The team leaders of various disciplines began to arrange their manpower reasonably.
As the questions in the preliminary round were relatively simple and had the least points, most team leaders would arrange for the slightly weaker members of the Olympiad team to fight.
The members of the national team were all participating in the semi-finals, and the top experts in the team were left to participate in the finals. However, this premise was that they had to get one or two places in the first two rounds of the competition. Otherwise, they would have already declared their defeat in advance.
