Liu Manling's voice was so shrill that the organizers came over to inquire about the situation.
"Are you really going to appeal?" The organizers didn't understand Liu Manling's outburst and explained in a deep voice, "The Olympiad exam is graded anonymously and cross-checked, and there will be appeals and cross-judgments at the end. This time, the first place is recognized by all the graders."
As an educator, Liu Manling clearly knew how rigorous the grading process was, so how could she raise any questions?
Those around Liu Manling felt embarrassed and pulled her aside, saying, "Teacher Liu doesn't have any objections, it's all a misunderstanding."
Cheng Jiangkai frowned and whispered, "Are you crazy?"
How could someone act like an amateur and cause trouble in front of everyone? It's so embarrassing.
The way people around them were looking at the couple was already subtly implying that they were sore losers, which made things even more awkward.
Chu Yuqi remained silent for a long time.
"What exactly happened? Why didn't any of us win an award?" The person next to me finally couldn't hold back any longer.
Could it be that Chu Yuqi has been deliberately playing tricks on them all these days?
Chu Yuqi felt a little flustered, but forced herself to remain calm: "I don't know either. Maybe Ruan Mingzhuo had someone perform a ritual and stole your luck..."
"Aren't you a genius in the Xuanmen sect? How could you not see that she was performing a ritual?"
Chu Yuqi was speechless.
The boy next to me stood up and said, "Don't you even think before you start lying? You call yourself a fortune teller? I think you're just a charlatan and a fraud!"
If Chu Yuqi hadn't been so certain, they wouldn't have believed him so readily and would have boasted about it beforehand.
Now all their relatives and friends know that they made a huge fool of themselves, almost to the point of social humiliation.
Chu Yuqi tried to explain: "I really didn't say anything wrong! You guys should have won the gold medals, there must be something wrong with it..."
"Enough, shut up!" These people were completely enraged. How could she still say that? Did she want to embarrass them enough?
——
Mingzhuo won the gold medal, took photos with many leaders, and finally his family was stopped by the media for an interview.
The reporter was stunned by the family's good looks—this was a great gimmick! He was excited to ask Ruan's mother about her approach to raising her daughter.
Ruan's mother: "It's all because Zhuozhuo is smart and hardworking, it has nothing to do with me."
"You're too modest! It's precisely because of your open-minded attitude that you've raised such an outstanding student as Ruan!" The reporter had a very good impression of Ruan's mother. While others had a lot of educational tips, this one was particularly sincere and didn't take credit for anything.
Ruan's mother: "I'm not being modest, I'm just embarrassed. I can't be on camera, so could you please not post my picture?"
"Is that so? I'm sorry." The reporter asked the photographer to stop taking pictures.
Liu Manling was so angry that her eyes almost turned red. If Ruan Mingzhuo were still her daughter, she would be the one being envied by everyone in this interview.
What's that village woman pretending for? What does she know about education? Ruan Mingzhuo was clearly raised by her own parents, and now the other party has reaped the benefits. She's really getting the short end of the stick and acting innocent.
Cheng Jingru tugged at her sleeve. "Mom, let's go."
"Useless!" Liu Manling glared at her daughter, then turned and left.
Cheng Jingru bit her lower lip, glanced quickly at Ming Zhuo, and chased after Liu Manling.
——
Zhou Leyi's face was almost sore from laughing; she had never been so happy before.
She asked Mingzhuo in a low voice, "When you said that last night, did you predict that I would win the gold medal today?"
People around looked over.
Mingzhu blinked: "I didn't say anything. Well, your award is the result of your hard work. You should believe in science."
Zhou Leyi's team leader was also overjoyed. After all, the best result the school had predicted was one silver and one bronze, but now it was one gold and one silver!
The teachers from other schools looked at him with envy. What a huge upset! Who would have thought that so many popular players would fail?
The group couldn't help but talk about the conflict at the Western restaurant last night. The more they thought about it, the more something seemed off. Why was Ruan Mingzhuo's prediction so accurate?
They quietly inquired with Mingzhuo's teacher, "Does Ruan Mingzhuo from your school possess some kind of mystical ability?"
"Yeah, yeah, does she know how to tell fortunes?"
That Chu Yuqi, who is known as Fairy Chu, is very popular for fortune telling online. Ruan Mingzhuo is obviously much more accurate than her. Isn't he a master?
"Could you also tell my fortune? I'm willing to pay!" someone suggested.
Yu Qionghui wondered what the hell was going on, what were these people thinking?
"Stop talking nonsense! Our classmate Ruan Mingzhuo is smart and quick-witted. Didn't you hear her say that we should believe in science?"
"Our students absolutely do not engage in feudal superstition! Everyone, disperse!"
Yu Qionghui felt that this unhealthy trend should be resolutely eliminated so as not to affect Ruan Mingzhuo, who was focused on his studies.
Take Chu Yuqi from No. 1 Middle School, for example. She was such a promising student, a favorite to win awards in competitions, but she didn't even manage to get a third prize. The teachers at No. 1 Middle School were furious.
Ultimately, he didn't put his mind to studying and was arrogant and complacent.
Little did they know that learning is like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind.
——
Mingzhuo, holding his medal and certificate, walked out of the hotel with his family.
Before Ah Hu could drive his car over, a car next to them suddenly opened its door.
"Surprise! Boss, congratulations!" He Wangyao, dressed in trendy clothes, got out of the car and handed a bouquet of flowers to Mingzhuo.
Mingzhuo accepted the flowers. The person who bought them had good taste; the colors of the bouquet were beautifully matched, attracting the attention of passersby.
