Whether Ye Yuzhen was willing or not, since Old Master Chi had spoken up, she could only pay the money with a heavy heart.
Moreover, because she took the initiative to ask someone to treat her and pay for the medical expenses separately, she couldn't even use the Chi family's public account, and in the end, she had to pay from her own private savings.
Ye Yuzhen felt her heart bleed as she looked at her bank card balance, which had shrunk by a third in an instant.
What's most infuriating is that after spending so much money, all she got was a prescription for relieving menopausal symptoms and a massage technique!
It's a waste of money and embarrassing, what a huge loss!
Qin Sheng was the exact opposite.
Having earned another sum of extra money, she went home in a good mood.
I still couldn't go out for the next two days. Oh, no, I did go out, but it was almost the same as not going out at all.
That afternoon, Qin Sheng and Pei Ling received another call from Wen Muyun, who gathered them and another contestant, Feng Yuan, together for a two-day special training session.
Qin Sheng stared at the exercise book on the table in front of her, which was as thick as her palm, and fell silent.
Wen Muyun said gently, “These are all practice questions that the school’s teachers collected temporarily through their connections. They are all multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions that comply with the new rules. Take advantage of the two days left and do a simulation to get used to them.”
The three of them: "..."
That's ruthless.
In the end, he could only sigh and grab a workbook to start doing problems. He worked until his head was spinning before he was finally allowed to go home after lunch the day before the exam.
Qin Sheng slept from the afternoon until the next morning, only waking up briefly for dinner.
Because an exam lasts for six hours, the academic association took into account the meal arrangements and therefore scheduled the exam time from noon to 6 pm.
To save Qin Sheng and Pei Ling's time, Gu Yueming booked a restaurant near the examination venue, which is Tiandu University.
I was hoping to shorten the time gap between lunch and the exam at noon, so that I could eat more and stay full longer.
After all, it will take six hours. This exam is not only a test of students' mastery and proficiency in the knowledge points, but also a huge test of everyone's physical strength, endurance, mentality and so on.
Since they, as parents, can't help with exams, they can only try to be more considerate of their children's daily lives.
Clearly, Gu Yueming wasn't the only one with this thought. When they arrived near Tiandu University and saw the restaurants and eateries all packed with people, Gu Yueming couldn't help but smile smugly.
"Luckily, my mom was quick-witted. As soon as she heard that the exam would be from noon to 6 pm, she immediately booked a table at the best restaurant in the area. If we had waited until now, there probably wouldn't have been any private rooms available, and even the small restaurants nearby might not have been booked."
Qin Sheng glanced at her and praised, "You're great."
As a result, Gu Yueming's already perky rabbit ears flew straight up into the sky. If Qin Sheng hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have jumped right up.
Despite not jumping up, Gu Yueming remained defiant and proud, holding her daughter's little hand in one hand and grabbing Pei Ling with the other as they headed towards the restaurant they had booked.
Qin Zheng, who was lagging behind, smiled and followed.
There were so many people eating.
Although Gu Yueming had made a reservation in advance, it still took the group quite a while to get into the restaurant and reach the service counter.
Then I received an apologetic smile from the receptionist: "Sorry, all the seats are taken today."
Gu Yueming immediately said, "I've made a reservation, room 666."
The receptionist paused for a moment, then looked down at the registration book in front of her and realized what was going on.
She immediately flashed a sweet smile: "So it's Mrs. Gu. The private room was reserved for you. I'll take you there right away."
As he spoke, he put away the notebook beside him, beckoned another receptionist, and led the four of them to room 666.
But after taking only a few steps, his path was blocked.
It was a girl about the same age as Qin Sheng, with a decent appearance, but her face was calm: "Didn't you say there were no seats? Why can they go in but we are turned away? What kind of logic is this?"
The receptionist paused for a moment, then gave an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, miss, this lady made a reservation in advance, and we've reserved a private room for them."
Hearing the explanation, the girl's expression didn't soften; instead, it became even uglier: "We sent someone to reserve a private room before, but your people said you don't accept reservations. Now you're telling us that someone else has already booked a table. What does this mean? Is this discrimination?"
His gaze swept over Qin Sheng and his group, noticing their understated yet undeniably elegant attire, and he sneered, "Your Tianjie Mansion is supposed to be one of the top ten Chinese restaurants in Tiandu, yet you've started treating people differently based on their status?"
"Or are some people who think they can bully others just because they have a little money?"
Gu Yueming never expected that just because she was clever enough to book a private room in advance, she would be labeled as "bullying others because of her money" in the blink of an eye, leaving her completely bewildered.
They were speechless for a moment.
This makes the girl feel that the other person is guilty, and she becomes even more assertive.
She glanced at the receptionist and said righteously, "You must give us an explanation for this!"
Receptionist:"……"
To be honest, she really didn't know how to explain it.
She was just a receptionist at the front desk. She was instructed by her superiors that Mrs. Gu had booked room 666, so her job was simply to register her and then lead her inside.
Who would have thought this would cause such a mess? I don't know what to do now.
Finally, he could only pull out his walkie-talkie to ask for help from above. While comforting the girl, he apologized to Gu Yueming: "I'm sorry, madam, our manager will be here soon. Please wait a few more minutes."
The receptionist looked embarrassed and apologetic.
Although Gu Yueming was a little angry, she wasn't about to take it out on the receptionist, so she responded and pulled her daughter toward the sofa on the side.
But while she was willing to let things go, others were not.
The girl stepped to the side, blocking their path once again, and said with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by this? Are you looking down on us?"
Gu Yueming: "???"
What did she do now? How is that looking down on people?
The girl felt that since the other person had said all that, not only did they not refute her, but they also didn't even glance at her, which she felt was completely arrogant and self-righteous.
She snorted and was about to continue speaking when she saw a group of people appearing behind Qin Sheng and the others, and her eyes lit up instantly.
She waved and called out to those behind her, "Brother Duanmu, Sister Lingfei, Sister Yanyan, over here!"
