Lu Wan was stunned for two seconds before asking, "Second place? Uncle, do you know the score?"
Father Xu: "Then I didn't ask, but it will be made public in the next two days, and you will know when the time comes."
Xu Yao laughed out loud: "Lu Wan, what's wrong with you? You didn't get first place again this time? You must be very dissatisfied, right? You deserve this day."
Lu Wan: “…Not really.”
"Hahahaha, you're just too embarrassed to admit it."
Lu Wan didn't say anything, but Xu's father, who was driving in the front seat, couldn't stand it anymore. While waiting for the traffic light, he grabbed the half-drunk bottle of mineral water and threw it over.
"Shut up, you are the second to last in the whole grade, how dare you laugh at others who are the second to last."
Xu Yao dodged swiftly and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Dad, are you crazy? You actually want to murder your own son? How can this be the same? I used to rank last in the exams, but Lu Wan has not ranked first twice in a row!"
Father Xu thought about it and thought, this is true, so he spoke softly to comfort her: "Lu Wan, don't take it to heart. You are already better than many people."
Lu Wan: “…”
She wasn't really disappointed.
It is impossible to achieve the preset goals every time, but as long as you keep moving forward, there is a chance to turn things around.
There is no wasted journey, as long as every step is worth it.
She will definitely work hard to get first place next time.
This damn desire to win!
The car stopped at the doorstep. When Xu's mother found out that her son, who ranked last in the exam, was mocking Lu Wan for not getting first place, and that her son's biological father was seriously comforting the second place... she was completely stunned, okay?
Where do these father and son get the courage to do this? It turns out that IQ can be inherited!
The Xu couple had a very good impression of Lu Wan. Children with excellent academic performance were very popular with parents, and Lu Wan had always been calm and steady. Maybe if he had such reliable friends, he would feel more at ease even if they were not with his son.
Xu's mother cooked a table full of dishes, and after dinner she asked Lu Wan to stay and talk for a while.
Mr. Xu said he wanted to drive the girl home, but Lu Wan said the traffic was too congested during rush hour and it would be more convenient for her to take the subway.
"Uncle, you're welcome."
"Old lady, you don't have to drive her there. I can just drop her off at the subway entrance." Xu Yao said with a smile.
The Xu couple agreed.
When Xu Yao turned back, he heard his parents talking about Lu Wan.
"This child is really good. Didn't we say before that we would adopt her as our godson? But at that time, Lu Wan's adoptive parents disagreed, so we gave up. Now I want to adopt her as my goddaughter."
"Do you think I don't want to? But now she has found her biological parents, and they are in very good conditions. I am embarrassed to ask for this." Father Xu sighed.
Xu Yao perked up immediately, rushed over, waved his hands and said, "How can you adopt her as your goddaughter! Then she would be my sister? Absolutely not."
Lu Wan is one month older than Xu.
The couple looked at each other. Their silly son still had feelings for Lu Wan.
The other party is a very good girl, but...
Mother Xu smiled and said, "Son, if Lu Wan was still a boy, I think your chances of success would be much greater. Your father and I have been doing business for many years and have seen the world. If you say you don't like girls and the one you like is Lu Wan... then I may have to accept it."
Xu Yao: “…”
"Your parents support this idea, but let me say this in advance. Even if you don't achieve your wish, boys should still behave like gentlemen." Father Xu said it more tactfully.
Xu Yao:? ? ?
"...Are you serious? How could you attack your own son like this?" Xu Yao was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
Father Xu: "We have to tell the truth to our children, we can't be blindly confident."
Mother Xu nodded in agreement.
"You guys are going too far, ahhhhhhh!" Xu buried his face in the sofa and rolled over and over.
So angry!
The couple looked at each other and became more determined.
Mother Xu pulled her son up and said comfortingly, "It's not completely impossible. We like Lu Wan, and of course we hope you can succeed."
"Yes, I have prepared all the gifts, including a big villa and a sports car, as long as you have the ability."
Xu Yao was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and asked: "Old man, didn't you say that all the money was spent?"
In the past two years, I have been buying land and properties everywhere.
Father Xu: "Yes, it's all spent. I went out today to discuss business. Our factory may be expropriated again, and this time the compensation will be even higher."
Xu Yao: “…”
What the hell?
The Xu couple used up all their savings to invest in the manufacturing industry. The business did not make any money, but they chose a good address.
This is the third time their factory has been expropriated in more than a decade.
The factory suffered a lot of losses from the previous two levies, and its annual net profit was only about 2 million yuan. The couple also considered whether to continue the business.
But they thought that since they were just sitting there doing nothing, they might as well do something to pass the time. Besides, if the factory closed, many old employees would lose their jobs, so they persevered.
The third time, the place chosen by Xu's father was very remote and the surrounding area was desolate, so the government marked out a large area for it.
He thought he would never encounter expropriation again, but he did not expect that three years later, a film and television company would take the lead in building a cultural town. Because of the large area, no even slightly prosperous area was suitable, so they finally set their sights on their factory.
The other party said a lot, but Xu's father didn't quite understand. Anyway, it was a big project that could be used for making money, filming, and traveling, so they had to expropriate more than 400 acres of land for their factory at one time.
“…”
Xu thought for a moment, then took out his cell phone and called Lu Wan.
"Lu Wan, I'm still a virgin, and my parents like you very much. The betrothal gifts are ready. When you turn 20, we will go get the marriage certificate."
"It's a good thing I left. You saved your life today. Go away." Lu Wan, who was taking the subway, hung up the phone.
Father Xu was shocked: "You are so aggressive, kid. What does Lu Wan say?"
Is this a confession?
"Oh, she praised me for being handsome." Xu put the phone in his pocket and went back to his room.
He had been hit so many times that he didn't take it seriously.

The final grades came out the next morning.
The transcript has just been sent out and has not yet reached the students, but the teacher has posted the picture in the class group.
Chen Nianqing is first.
Lu Wan is second.
Su Rao is third.
The whole grade was shocked.
After all, Su Rao had been ranked second for thousands of years, but he was surpassed this time?
The chat group of Class 4 was quickly filled with people worshipping Ms. Lu, and people kept tagging her.
The messages in the group were updated too quickly. Lu Wan had already known the results, so she was not surprised and only replied with a sentence or two occasionally.
Everyone then sighed and said that the great god is the great god, how calm he is.
This comparison makes me seem too lively.
The school’s QQ public account was of course also updated during the summer vacation. During the vacation, there were no study-related notifications, only gossip and confession walls.
The students spoke more actively than when they were in school.
The official account immediately released the chart of the top 100 students in the first and second year of high school.
Those who have a name are all academic masters who are looked up to and admired by others. The top thirty are super academic masters, and the top ten are top academic masters.
As for the top three... they are not human, they must be academic geniuses.
The existence of these people is simply beyond the realm of species. How did they get such high scores?
This dynamic comment is growing very fast.
Nun, please don't turn on the light. This is me: My Wan Ge can be sweet or salty, and she is also very smart. As I said before, with her, what else do the sisters want?
Just sit and play wherever you fall: Lu Wan actually moved up another rank this time? Ah, it’s normal to be outshined by Chen Nianqing, but I hope she can get first place next time!
Green Grassland: Mr. Lu, go ahead! Press Chen Nianqing under you!
Climbing on the wall waiting for the wind to come: Lu Wan is really awesome! I’m convinced! I, the school bully Shande, have no weaknesses!
Getting fat all the time: Goddess Su is actually being suppressed? But it doesn’t matter, we were only overtaken by two points this time, we can catch up next time! Goddess, I support you!
Unable to wake up every day: Mr. Lu, don’t press Chen Nianqing, press me if you can! I bet you have no ability (*￣︶￣)
Fireworks: ...I’m shipping Lu and Su again! God of study X God of study! Keep changing up and down positions.
Bored Ms. West: It’s too dirty! Copy all the drivers in the comments!
An An: Lu Wan is awesome, Lu Wan is awesome, Lu Wan is awesome! I read it out loud a hundred times! My husband is awesome, and so am I!
———
Su Rao was a little surprised when he saw the transcript.
Although she usually has a good attitude towards studying, she has never taken it as seriously as she did this exam.
She spent a lot of time reviewing this time.
Su Rao has been a very studious type since he was young. He originally thought that if he gave it his all this time, he could ensure that he would not be overtaken in the rankings.
Unexpectedly, it still failed to succeed.
Although she didn't want to be surpassed by Lu Wan, things had come to this point... Su Rao shrugged helplessly. Lu Wan said that she liked students with better grades than her. She was only two points behind this time, so she still had a chance.
She glanced at the end of the transcript and was completely relieved when she saw Xu Yao's score.
However, if the person who surpasses me is Lu Wan, it is not unacceptable.
But... I must work hard to get back to second place next time.
——
Lin Niannian was surprised when she saw the transcript.
She is ranked 120th this time? I dropped dozens of places compared to the last monthly exam...directly out of the top 100 list.
During the month when Lin Niannian had her exams, she went to see Jiang Boyang almost every day. She wanted to persuade him not to have a falling out with Lu Wan because of her.
Persuade the other party that if he and Lu Wan can be frank with each other, perhaps the relationship can be eased, and she will feel much less guilty.
Lin Niannian spent a lot of time on this matter and occasionally got distracted during class.
Those who can make it into the top 100 are all strong, so it is normal for her to drop in the ranking.
She once thought that her poor study condition would affect her exam ranking.
But weighing the choice between studying and Jiang Boyang, she chose the latter.
During the month of the exam, the two of us became much closer because we had frequent contact.
We met a few more times during the summer vacation and our relationship became even better.
Lin Niannian was mentally prepared and would accept it even if she didn't do very well in the exam this time.
But when she saw Lu Wan came in second, she couldn't accept it.
The cell phone rang, and Lin Niannian checked the incoming call. It was from squad leader Yu Shuai.
Lin Niannian wanted to be quiet and didn't want to talk to anyone, so she hung up the phone.
Yu Shuai on the other end was a little anxious. Considering that Lin Niannian didn't do well in the exam and was in a bad mood and might not want to talk, he sent a text message to her.
[It doesn't matter if Nian Nian didn't do well in the exam this time. You have to work and take care of many things. It's amazing that you can do this. 】
[Don’t be sad, you are better than many people! 】
After reading the text message, Lin Niannian did not reply to the other party, but changed her clothes and prepared to go out.
She was working during her summer vacation at a hotel owned by Jiang Boyang's friend. Because she had informed her colleagues in advance, they were all very kind to her.
Jiang Boyang will come for dinner today.
It just so happened that she was in a bad mood and wanted to see the other person as soon as possible.
Lin Niannian certainly cared about her grades, but even if she was only ranked in the top 100, it would not be a problem for her to get into a top university.
And she believes there are more important things than studying.
————
On the day Lu Wan's transcript was sent home, Mr. Zhao and Professor Lu happened to return.
Professor Lu: "My Wanwan actually ranked second in the exam. This is amazing. She is even better than her father."
Zhao Jianing: "Wanwan is amazing. She will definitely be very capable in the future."
Lu Buyu: "What about me?"
Professor Lu: "You work in a cultural troupe. To be honest, your singing is just average, your acting is just okay, and your overall professional ability is average."
Mr. Zhao: "Brother is very energetic and very nice."
Lu Buyu:? ? ?
What kind of review is this?
He finally realized that Lu Wan was the fruit of his parents' love, and he was the stone of his parents' love!
Agent Xiao Zhang happened to be there too, and he shook his head in his heart.
The eldest daughter of the Lu family, Brother Yu, could have made a living by relying on her family background and strength, but she chose to rely on her looks.
The second daughter of the Lu family, Lu Wan, could have made a living with her strength, but she chose to rely on her brain.
This brother and sister are amazing.
Before Xiao Zhang left, he reminded the eldest lady again not to forget tomorrow's photo shoot.
——
The next morning, just as Lu Wan was about to go out, she received a call from Xiao Zhang.
"Sister, are you home? Your elder brother forgot to bring the contract, and I need it urgently. Do you think you can deliver it to the city center?"
Lu Wan: "Okay, tell me the address."
After Xiao Zhang reported the address, he hung up the phone, turned to look at his own artist, and sighed silently in his heart.
My younger sister is much easier to talk to than the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
The theme of today's magazine shoot is "Brother and Sister". Firstly, top stars avoid hyping up couples, and secondly, in the recent popular variety show, everyone is happy to see Lu Buyu appear as the older brother in the "brother and sister" series.
Lu Wan helped the eldest lady attract a group of "sister fans".
Lu Buyu is partnered with a 20-year-old young actress.
The girl has a lot of resources and usually markets herself as a "young lady" or a "straightforward rich girl".
If it were the entertainment industry ten years ago, it would have been criticized a lot, but the entertainment industry now is very sick. They are not afraid of you being weird, but they are afraid of you being too boring and having no memorable points.
As long as you have a good personality, you will definitely have fans.
The girl is willing to spend money on marketing. Nowadays, there are really many "family-obsessed" and "money-obsessed" people. She buys a lot of hot searches and she also has some works, so she has been quite popular recently.
When Xiao Zhang met the real person today, he realized that he was also a bit pretentious. He was probably too immersed in the role in order to maintain his character.
She has been finding fault with the styling and makeup that had been decided long ago, not only her own but also Lu Buyu's, and she has been complaining about Lu Buyu's photography crazily.
She was not satisfied with any of the outfits she tried and even behaved strangely.
If Xiao Zhang had known the other party was like this, he would have definitely refused to cooperate.
Haha, all kinds of monsters and demons come to the entertainment industry.
That is a marketing lady character, but his brother Yu is the real eldest lady of the Lu family.
The eldest lady ran out of patience after a few times.
Lu Buyu: "What the hell is this! Forget it."
"It can't be forgotten. The photos have to be printed tomorrow."
Lu Buyu: "I only have one morning, or else replace her."
He felt like he had to act like a big shot.
Xiao Zhang: "Where can we find someone? Or should we just stick with it?"
Given Yu Ge’s status as a celebrity, he is certainly qualified to ask for a change in the subject of the shoot.
Although it will give you a bad reputation if it gets out.
If it wasn't for the "brother-sister" feel, I really wouldn't be able to get together with this female artist.
Lu Buyu: "Didn't you say that Lu Wan came to deliver the contract? Then let her do it. I can bear with it."
Xiao Zhang: “…”
Then I have to say, you are dreaming.
