Chapter 39: Counterattack

Li Xiaoqiu sneered repeatedly when he heard this. He had no idea where these bizarre rumors on the Internet came from.

She was shocked when she learned Lin Xi's college entrance examination score two days ago. Now she is about to be slapped in the face.

Who knew that Lin Xi just shook her head and said, "How are my academic performance? This is my personal privacy. Can I not answer?"

Yan Xin nodded in understanding, "Now that you put it that way, I think I understand."

She seemed to have said nothing, implying that Lin Xi's grades were not good enough, so she chose not to say anything.

Li Xiaoqiu was so angry in the audience. She didn't know why Lin Xi didn't answer this question. However, as Lin Xi's agent and crazy admirer, she couldn't bear to see Lin Xi bear the reputation of being a poor student.

She suddenly took a few steps forward and raised her hand high, "I'm Lin Xi's classmate, I know her grades!"

Yan Xin quickly looked at the director and asked, was this arranged?

The director shook his head, thought for a moment, and then instructed the director through the walkie-talkie, "Just let her go up."

The director quickly spoke a few words to Yan Xin on the walkie-talkie. The director's voice came from Yan Xin's headphones. She blinked, indicating that she heard it, and then stood up. "It just so happens that we have a classmate of Lin Xi here at the scene. Why don't we ask her to say a few words?"

The director motioned for Li Xiaoqiu to come on stage. Li Xiaoqiu, along with her father, had often attended banquets and had seen many grand occasions. She walked up to the stage and sat down confidently. "Although Lin Xi considers her grades to be her personal privacy, I don't want anyone to misunderstand her, so I'll reveal a little."

"Lin Xi has always been at the top of our class, and this time she even scored an unimaginably high score in the college entrance exam."

"As for the school bully claim, everyone will surely form a basic judgment after watching the full video. However, I still want to solemnly declare that what happened in the video was the only time Lin Xi got into a physical fight with someone at school. As you all saw, she was forced into a fight."

The audience was in an uproar again, especially the college students, who had all taken the college entrance examination. The unimaginably high scores mentioned by Li Xiaoqiu aroused their curiosity.

A boy shouted, "Can you tell me what the score is?"

"Yeah, just tell us so we can be envious!"

"How high can it be? It can't be more than the perfect score, right?"

Most people still don't quite believe it.

Li Xiaoqiu turned her head and looked at Lin Xi. She was not sure what Lin Xi meant.

Lin Xi thought about it and realized that now that things had come to this, it didn't make any difference whether she said it or not. She didn't want to hide anything, but she just felt that it was too high-profile to say these things on a talk show.

After all, no one knows how many people across the country will watch this program after it is broadcast, and now the authorities are not allowed to promote the top scorers in the college entrance examination.

She nodded slightly at Li Xiaoqiu, who smiled and said, "Student Lin Xi scored 749 points this time. I heard that this is the highest score ever in the college entrance examination. I just heard it, so if there's a higher score, please don't blame me for saying it's wrong."

The audience was in an uproar. "Is the score really that high? Is this a score a human can achieve?"

Someone started checking on their phone, "It's true! The highest score this year was 749! The only difference is that the name of the candidate hasn't been revealed."

Some people also thought they had figured it out. "I get it! Lin Xi's victory in 'Extreme Survival' this time was due to her exceptionally high IQ and the most appropriate strategy. It was definitely not some trickery!"

Many people nodded in agreement. These games were actually similar to battles, and good tactics would definitely help.

For example, Tian Ji's horse racing is a typical example of finding advantages in disadvantages and defeating the strong with the weak.

Yan Xin on the stage finally felt frustrated at this moment. She had interviewed countless celebrities, and she had always been the one with the upper hand. Today, she could be said to have hit a wall. She wanted to embarrass Lin Xi, but in the end, she was the one who was embarrassed.

Of course, this is also due to the TV station’s lack of preparation!

The director signaled for everyone to be quiet again, letting Yan Xin continue. Yan Xin thought for a moment and then dropped a bombshell, "A lot of people online are very interested in you and Qi Mo right now. They say you're a perfect match, and a lot of people hope you'll be a couple. What do you think about this? What's your impression of Qi Mo? Would you pair him up with them?"

Lin Xi smiled at Yan Xin, "Sister Yan Xin, I'm not yet eighteen years old. I'm a minor. Isn't it inappropriate for you to ask this question?"

"Or do you advocate premature love among minors?"

In recent years, although parents and teachers are no longer as afraid of premature love as they used to be, they certainly will not encourage premature love among minors.

Yan Xin was choked and couldn't speak for a while.

The audience burst into laughter, and this was the first time that Yan Xin was silenced by his words.

Yan Xin had no choice but to lower her head and look at the inscription board. She carefully avoided questions involving privacy, such as family and parents, and only asked some routine questions before the interview ended.

After the conversation was over, Yan Xin shook hands with Lin Xi again and said with a smile, "Please forgive me if I offended you just now. It was all for the show's effect."

"However, this is probably the most difficult interview I've ever had to do. I'm afraid my image as a smart and sharp persona is about to be ruined."

Lin Xi smiled. "No, your abilities are obvious to all. I always enjoy watching your interviews."

Yan Xin was a little flattered. In this interview, she felt the crushing IQ from Lin Xi. This was the highest level of crushing that surpassed all other crushing, because there would never be a chance to turn defeat into victory.

She waved for her agent and handed her a personal business card. "If you need any help in the future, you can call me directly."

Coming out of the TV station, Li Xiaoqiu was very proud. "There are too many traps in the TV station. Fortunately, you are smart, otherwise your reputation would be ruined."

She thought for a moment and said, "However, I also learned a lot from Yan Xin today."

The two got into the Li family's car and drove to a star-rated hotel. Li Xiaoqiu also made an appointment with someone to discuss endorsement matters.

Although Li Xiaoqiu has no experience, he is very capable and has quickly taken on the role of Lin Xi's agent.

"When we get to the hotel, let's talk to this sports brand first. They've been approached for several endorsements recently. I've rejected some of the lower-end ones for you. For the sake of your image, we'll only accept endorsements from big brands."

Lin Xi was amused, then suddenly remembered something and asked softly, "By the way, how's the search for a kidney donor going?"

Kidney sources are very difficult to find in China, and we can only rely on donations. Even if there is a person with the same blood type, matching is still required to see if it is suitable.

Although Lin Fenfang had never planned to get a kidney transplant due to lack of money, she had to register at the hospital at the request of Lin Yuan and Lin Xi. However, several years have passed, and there is still no sign of a kidney source.
