Lin Bingqiang was scrolling through his social media when he suddenly came across a photo his wife posted.
He immediately called Zhao Cuinong.
"Hello, is that scorecard you just posted on social media Xiao Wu’s?"
"Of course, it is, didn’t you see the name?"
Upon hearing her words, Lin Bingqiang huffed, "Xiao Wu scored so high, and you didn’t even tell me!"
That’s just outrageous!
Zhao Cuinong apologized, "I’m sorry, I was so happy that I accidentally forgot about you."
Lin Bingqiang: "..."
What a convenient accident.
After hanging up, Lin Bingqiang saved the photo from Zhao Cuinong’s social media and started to show off by posting it on his own feed.
Someone came over to greet Lin Bingqiang, "Good afternoon, Mr. Lin."
Lin Bingqiang looked up, "How did you know my grandniece’s college entrance exam scores were hidden?"
People came to discuss work with Lin Bingqiang.
Lin Bingqiang repeated the same sentence, "How did you know my grandniece’s college entrance exam scores were hidden?"
In just one afternoon, even the dogs in the department knew that Mr. Lin’s grandniece’s college entrance exam scores had been hidden.
As the college exam fever spread, several trending topics unexpectedly appeared on Weibo.
#Qing City’s First College Entrance Exam Student with Hidden Scores#
#Qing City Student Breaks into Top Ten of the Province#
#Rumors of Qingzhong School Student’s College Entrance Exam Scores Being Hidden#
Each topic had tens of millions of views.
Beneath the comments were students, parents, and teachers.
[Qing City made it into the province’s top ten? Is that for real or fake?]
[The credibility is around 80 percent, it’s said to be a girl.]
[Congratulations!]
[Let me see whose ancestors have brought them good luck.]
[A girl? From Qingzhong? Damn, it couldn’t be Zhang Xianxian, could it?]
[Very likely, after all, she is Qing City’s number one talented girl.]
[And I heard Zhang Xianxian scored 748 on a mock test!]
[Good lord! 748? Just two points short of a perfect score? She’s definitely the top scholar of the college entrance exam, no wonder her score was hidden.]
[I’m so envious of Zhang Xianxian, not only born into a good family, she’s so pretty and her grades are incredible too.]
[+1 +1!]
[...]
As netizens continued to comment actively, Zhang Xianxian quickly became a trending topic as well.

#Qing City’s Number One Talented Girl#
Bai Lu remembered the bet with her mother-in-law as she went through Weibo.
She was beyond excited.
She just knew that Zhang Xianxian would live up to her expectations and obtain the most dazzling score.
Now, this first place was truly well deserved for Zhang Xianxian.
The more Bai Lu thought about it, the more excited she became, as if she herself had scored first place. She quickly grabbed her phone and ran to the rooftop garden upstairs.
Grandma Lu was watering her beloved roses.
"Mom! Mom! Mom!"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Lu looked up at Bai Lu, "What’s got you so excited?"
"Great news! Huge, great news!" Bai Lu said.
Grandma Lu put down the watering can, "Tell me about it."
"Xianxian, Xianxian got the top score in Nanhai Province!"
Top scholar of the province?
Zhang Xianxian?
Grandma Lu was stunned and then uttered a popular internet phrase, "Is that for real or fake?"
"Of course, it’s real. Look, it’s even trending now." With that, Bai Lu handed her phone to Grandma Lu.
Grandma Lu indeed saw the related trending topics and frowned slightly.
"Strange, really strange."
While saying this, Grandma Lu took out a spicy snack from her pocket.
She needed a snack to calm her shock!
How on earth had Zhang Xianxian pulled one over on them?
How could Zhang Xianxian possibly outscore Lin Wu to become the top scholar of the province?
"What’s so strange about it?" Bai Lu asked.
Grandma Lu sighed, "Don’t you find it strange that Zhang Xianxian could become the top scholar of the province?"
Bai Lu was speechless.
Zhang Xianxian was already known as Qing City’s number one talented girl, what was so odd about that?
"Mom, I know your heart must be aching right now, given that you lost the bet to me! Can’t be helped, who told Xianxian to be born so smart!" Bai Lu said proudly, "I’ve said before that Lin Wu’s scores were plagiarised, and you didn’t believe me. You believe it now, right?"
With one hand holding the spicy snack and the other the phone, Grandma Lu interjected, "Wait! That’s not right. This top scholar of the college exam is just everyone’s guess, there’s no solid proof it’s Zhang Xianxian."
"Mom, even if you don’t like Xianxian, you don’t have to be so against her, do you? See, it’s clearly written right here, top ten in the province from Qing City, and from Qingzhong no less! Aside from Xianxian, who else from Qingzhong could score in the top ten?"
Could it be Lin Wu?
Is that possible?
Do they really think the title of Qing City’s number one talented girl for Zhang Xianxian is just for show?
