"I heard that a specially appointed professor is giving a lecture in the Finance Department this afternoon."

"Really? But it's almost finals, what can we talk about now?"

"I don't know, but I heard they invited an alumnus from our Jiaotong University who was the campus heartthrob back then."

"That means you're good-looking. Oh, no matter what they're talking about, as long as they're good-looking, I can listen to them."

"Me too."

"You girls are so superficial. What's the use of being pretty? You can only glance at them twice. Don't you want to make money?"

"You're going to take photos of the specially appointed professor and sell them for money?"

"What's wrong with your brain? What I mean is, since he's a finance genius, he must be an expert in venture capital and stocks. Don't you guys want to ask which stock will hit its daily limit tomorrow?"

That makes sense.

...

Le Yao and Qiao Qiao didn't take it seriously. Anyway, the school often invites experts to give lectures on specific topics, which is normal.

Le Yao has been studying very hard lately, and she is quite proud of herself. In fact, she has a pretty good self-learning ability. If she doesn't understand something, she can get help from various online learning platforms, which is very convenient.

"The school sent out a notice." Qiaoqiao, who was lying on the side reading a melodramatic novel on her phone, suddenly poked her.

Le Yao picked up her phone and saw that, sure enough, the school's official WeChat account had pushed out a notice about make-up exams, which were scheduled after the final exams, roughly a few days before summer vacation. The specific time would be notified individually by each counselor.

All things considered, there are only half a month left.

Le Yao suddenly felt utterly hopeless. Statistics? She had never studied it before, and Han Binglan's mind was even more blank. Even though she had been studying hard these past few days, this wasn't like geography or history, where you could just memorize and get points. It required understanding, calculation, and analysis. Was she going to fail again? Did she have no shame?

"Why don't you sign up for a tutoring class?" Qiaoqiao suggested.

"Is Hongxia a good student?" Le Yao touched her chin.

"The provincial top scorer in the college entrance examination has always been among the top three in his grade."

"That's great." Le Yao then went to find Hong Xia, the classmate who had offered to help her with her makeup exam last time.

Hong Xia, the nation's good classmate, didn't refuse at all. During the break, she went to the dormitory and brought over a notebook: "These are some exam questions from the last three years, as well as some commonly used formulas. I've compiled them all. Memorize the formulas and try doing the calculation problems first. If you don't know how, you can ask me. Actually, the types of questions in the past exams are pretty much the same. If you know one, the others won't be too difficult. If you can do them all, you should have no problem passing."

"Tsk tsk." Le Yao flipped through it; the handwriting was neat and beautiful, and more importantly, the key points and difficulties were very clear. She couldn't help but reach out and hug her. "You're such a lifesaver! I think I'm falling in love with you..."

Hong Xia blushed immediately: "I'm getting goosebumps."

"Baby, I'll give you a chance to say it again," Qiao Qiao's voice drifted over softly.

“Qiao, you always get the worst grades in exams, so I really can’t love you in that respect.” Le Yao quickly let go of Hong Xia and hugged Qiao Qiao. “But apart from exams, you will always be my favorite person.”

Hongxia kept rubbing her arms beside her, thinking, "These two are just... indecent!"
