Chen Mengshu was about to go to the toilet to bail someone out.
A familiar figure appeared at the doorway.
"Shallow!"
Chen Mengshu's eyes lit up, and she dropped her book and ran over. "Where have you been?"
"I didn't see you during the three afternoon classes! I thought you'd fallen into the toilet pit and I was going to go fish you out."
Shen Qianqian remained silent at Chen Mengshu's thought process: "If I really fell into the toilet pit and you only came to rescue me in the third period, what's standing in front of you now would be a corpse."
"Oh yeah... Let's not talk about that anymore. Where did you go just now?"
Chen Mengshu's worry was genuine; her anxiety was evident on her face.
Shen Qianqian didn't say anything, but handed her the test paper in her hand.
"What?"
Chen Mengshu took it and saw the words "Grade 11 Final Exam" in big letters. She paused for a moment, then started looking down at the questions.
No, it's about the score!
What is that?
Such a high score?
"Which senior student did this exam?"
Chen Mengshu flipped through the paper in her hand, and three words immediately came into view.
At that moment, she was still unaware of what was happening, murmuring those three words: "Chen, Qing, Qing." "What a coincidence, Qianqian! This senior shares your name!"
Shen Qianqian: "...Silence is the Cambridge of tonight."
She sighed.
"Didn't you ever consider that I was the one who answered this question on the test?"
Chen Mengshu shook her head honestly.
"I never thought of that... Wait, no! What... what do you mean?"
"You're saying you did this test? Why would you do this out of the blue?"
So shocked was Chen Mengshu's lips trembled. She thought of a certain possibility, and her lips trembled even more.
"You're not planning to skip a grade, are you?" "Yeah, congratulations on guessing right."
Shen Qianqian clapped her hands lightly, then pulled back her test paper and returned to her seat. Hmm, hmm, this guy actually made an "hmm" sound!
She stormed up to Chen Qianqian and yelled, "You, you, you made such an important decision, why didn't you tell me?!"
Shen Qianqian looked puzzled: "I already told you."
"Nonsense! When did you ever tell me that? I haven't heard you mention it at all today! I was just worried about you!"
“When I went to your house for your birthday before, I mentioned this to you. I said I wanted to skip a grade.”
Chen Mengshu's angry face suddenly froze; she remembered that Shen Qianqian had indeed said something that day.
I've mentioned this before, but didn't they already agree not to skip grades?
She complained, "You said you wouldn't skip grades, you lied to me. You went to the second year of high school, and then you became me..."
"Now that you're a senior, how are we supposed to go to the bathroom together or work on problems together?"
Shen Qianqian raised a finger and shook it.
"No, no, no, I never promised you that. Skipping a grade is something I've wanted to do from the beginning, and I can't change my mind so easily."
"Besides, I'm just skipping a grade, it's not like I'm going straight to university. Most importantly, if I go to the second year of high school and become number one, you'll be number one in the first year. Don't you want to be number one?"
Chen Mengshu blinked.
She longed for it so much!
She used to be number one, but ever since she met Shen Qianqian, she's been number two forever.
Shen Qianqian was not a real teenager. She had no family ties growing up and was not used to the friendship between little girls, but she knew it was precious, so she was willing to speak to Chen Mengshu in a kind and gentle manner.
It has to be said that her words hit the girl's weak spot. Chen Mengshu was also very easy to coax and was appeased in just a few words.
He even offered to help her pack her things and take them to her senior year class.
Looking at Chen Mengshu's enthusiasm, Shen Qianqian felt a little guilty, which was rare. If she skipped the senior year again, the other girl would probably cry.
Well, I guess I'll have to give her a small gift to appease her later.
Having successfully skipped a grade, Shen Qianqian became even more famous throughout the school, and her exam papers circulated widely in the top-performing classes of the second year of high school.
After all, who could have predicted this?
A first-year high school student scored five points higher than the top student in the second year. "Sigh. How is her brain structured?"
“I heard that she started studying at the age of 18, went straight to the third year of junior high school, took the high school entrance exam, and entered our No. 1 High School. She was in the second year of senior high school just over two months later.”
"How is her brain even structured?"
After hearing this, the student who spoke first sighed again.
"Who knows? Maybe she's just naturally smart. I can't compete, I can't compete. But this time..."
Gao Yingjie was quite anxious. With such a formidable opponent in his class, he figured he'd lose his top spot.
"I think it's unlikely too."
Meanwhile, Shen Qianqian, who was being talked about, had no sense of being the center of attention, because she was busy writing to her elderly father in the capital, asking for money.
She consistently ranked first in her final exams and also passed the grade-skipping exam with high marks. If she doesn't take the money, who will?
If we don't take it, wouldn't we be letting down Shen Jia's deep love for his daughter?
I'm sure they won't hesitate to pay for her future college student daughter's textbooks... Hmm, I'll send one to Hong Kong too.
With that thought in mind, my hands moved even faster.
...
Shanghai, a bustling metropolis, is filled with the soft, gentle Wu dialect spoken on the streets.
Although this place is not as magnificent as in later generations, the high-rise buildings here are still enough to amaze Yang Wang and his companions who came from Nan County.
They have been in Shanghai for several days.
Yang Wang, who came with a mission, did not take immediate action. Instead, he conducted investigations and visits to thoroughly investigate all aspects before changing into a suit and heading to the zipper factory to discuss the project.
