Zhang Hongmei frowned, almost wanting to turn back; this person was really not normal.

"Chengzi, Chengzi, that's enough. Look, the junior is a little unhappy. If she leaves now, you'll lose face."

“Zhang Hongmei, you can come to our Political Science Department. You will definitely be supported by everyone in the Political Science Department.”

“Zhang Hongmei, you should come to our Chinese department. We are all girls, so we can have a lot in common. Besides, our Chinese department is a classy department.”

"Zhang Hongmei, you should come to the mathematics department. Your math grades are the best. With you joining us, I believe our mathematics department will definitely surpass theirs. Besides, don't you want to become a mathematician and benefit humanity?"

"Get out of the way, all of you. These are from our Economics Department. Look, I have the admission notice here, and I've filled it out. You have no hope."

The bespectacled man from the mathematics department sighed, "What a waste. The mathematics community has lost another talent."

Zhang Hongmei was dumbfounded. If she tried to study mathematics with her current level of knowledge, wouldn't she go bald long ago?

The other two departments also left, but there was nothing they could do; they had chosen the economics department.

"Junior, you've filled out your information. You've been assigned to Class 1. You can go into our department's auditorium and wait for your advisor to come and pick you up."

"Can you decide which class it is?" Zhang Hongmei was quite puzzled by this.

"No, we don't have that right. Although you weren't the last student to arrive, you're close. Our Class One has a cutoff score. With your grades, where else can you go besides Class One?"

"Oh, thank you for clarifying things, senior. Also, I'm not staying at the dormitory; I'll be a day student."

“Day student? Okay, okay, I’ll fill it out for you again right away.”

Liu Jingze parted ways with Zhang Hongmei and had to go into the classroom. There were only about a dozen people in the lobby; those who had arrived two days in advance had already registered their majors, so these dozen or so people were probably from the neighborhood.

Bored, Zhang Hongmei found a chair to sit down and took out a newspaper from her bag. It was a newspaper that Liu Jingze had brought back that morning when he bought fried dough sticks, but she hadn't had time to read it while eating and had put it in her bag. Now it was perfect for passing the time.

I've finished reading the whole newspaper, and it's almost 10 o'clock. They're just being left hanging here.

The remaining few people huddled together chatting, frequently checking the time.

Zhang Hongmei was puzzled as to why she was so unsociable and why no one ever chatted with her.

It wasn't until 10:30 that a refined-looking male teacher wearing glasses arrived.

"Alright, everyone, follow me. I'll take you to the classroom."

Zhang Hongmei counted that there were seventeen people in the hall following behind the teacher, with Zhang Hongmei walking at the very back.

The freshmen were on the first floor. I overheard them chatting and learned that there were twelve classes this year, with fifty students per class. The first one was Class One, and it was on the sunny side.

"Zhang Hongmei, Class One."

Zhang Hongmei walked over from the back and said, "Teacher, I am Zhang Hongmei."

"Okay, go into the classroom. The homeroom teacher of Class 1 will be here in a bit. The counselor is in the classroom now."

Zhang Hongmei knocked on the door and only went in after receiving a response.

"Hello teacher, I am Zhang Hongmei."

"Zhang, it seems you'll have to sit at the back. You're the fiftieth student in our class. Why don't you introduce yourself first?" This was a young female counselor, who looked to be in her early twenties. She was quite attractive.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhang Hongmei, from M City, L Province. I am thirteen years old this year. Please take care of me in the future." Among the crowd below, there were mostly twenty middle-aged men, ten female students, five middle-aged women, and the remaining fourteen were boys.

A buzzing sound came from below. Suddenly, a boy stood up and asked, "You wouldn't happen to be this year's top scorer in the college entrance exam, would you?"

"I'm not too sure about whether I'm a top scorer or not, but my grades are pretty good."

"How much is 'not bad'? It's hard to say," a short-haired girl with a long, narrow face asked rudely.

"Regardless of my grades, I got into the Capital University."

"You're only thirteen and you're already going to university? You won't need your family to accompany you, will you?" another girl asked bluntly.

"You don't need to worry about that. Getting into university at a young age is my ability and advantage."

No one asked any more questions. The counselor coughed awkwardly and said, "Zhang Hongmei, please take a seat."

Zhang Hongmei walked to the back, took out a handkerchief from her bag, wiped the table and chairs, put the lunchbox bag on the table, took off her coat, folded it neatly and put it in the desk drawer, and put her hat, scarf and gloves in as well, before sitting down.

Almost everyone turned to look at Zhang Hongmei. The girls pouted, the middle-aged man had no expression, and the boys were amazed. Although she was only thirteen years old, she was beautiful. Of the eleven girls in the class, only Zhang Hongmei was good-looking.

The counselor saw Zhang Hongmei sit down and said, "Now let me formally introduce myself. I am a graduate of the Chinese Department of our university. My name is Chen Shuang, and I am twenty-four years old this year. I will be studying and living with you all for the next few years. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. I will definitely not refuse to solve what I can, and I can still listen to what you can't do."

Applause broke out, and Zhang Hongmei didn't stand out; she joined in the applause. After all, the counselor seemed quite gentle. She'd be spending four years with him, so it was best not to offend him.

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a receding hairline entered.

The counselor went up to greet him, saying, "Professor Kong is here! Everyone, please welcome him."

"Hello everyone, I am your economics professor, Kong Mingde."

Applause broke out.

"I just received a notice that we will have an entrance exam next Monday, which will be the test for the entire freshman year. This exam will be used to re-assign classes, so please do your best."

"Also, no one is allowed to be late for my classes, and I will not accept any excuses. Furthermore, our class is the key class in the entire Economics Department. Since it is a key class, I expect you to act like you would in a key class."

As for class officers, we'll wait until a week later to elect them.

Who else is Zhang Hongmei?

Zhang Hongmei stood up. "Professor Kong, I am Zhang Hongmei."

"Hehe, not bad. Just now, several department professors and heads got anxious because of you. Not bad, you have good judgment in choosing the economics department. I will do my best to cultivate you in this class."

"Please take good care of me in the future, Professor Kong. I won't let you down."

"I will. I hope this test will show me the abilities of a top scorer."

Zhang Hongmei didn't speak, but when she saw Professor Kong wave his hand, she sat down.

"Professor Kong, is Zhang Hongmei really the top scholar?"
