Upon seeing Qi Jiu's appearance, he paused for a moment, then snorted coldly before turning back to look at the manuscript in his hand. This action seemed to indicate that he looked down on Qi Jiu.
Seeing his actions, the girl was not annoyed. She slowly walked to the chair next to him and sat down, looking at the manuscript in her hands seriously.
She recognized this person; he was this year's top scorer in the college entrance examination.
She also knew why this person had that attitude.
Now that her results are out, although this person is still the top scorer in the college entrance examination, with her results, hasn't this indirectly taken away his position as the top scorer in the college entrance examination?
Many people around him probably said the same thing, so it's understandable that he was unhappy.
But what constitutes giving her the cold shoulder? She didn't say those words. Does that mean there shouldn't be people in this world who are better at studying than him?
She leaned back in the chair, her long legs crossed, exuding a lazy air, along with a "don't touch me" vibe.
After an unknown amount of time, when someone called them, the two of them finally arrived beside the podium and waited to give their speeches.
The first person to give a speech was the top scorer in the college entrance examination next to Qi Jiu. The girl could feel the sarcastic look in his eyes as he passed by her, whether it was her imagination or not.
It was the same look in their eyes when they first met—a look of disdain.
……ill!
"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Chuan. I entered University A with the highest score in the college entrance examination. It's an honor for me to be here, but it's also inseparable from my hard work..."
The scene was still a bit noisy, but it did not affect Xiao Chuan's speech at all; he delivered a passionate and eloquent speech on stage.
Whether it was because the article contained an element of showing off or not, the students below were looking at him with unfriendly eyes, and the noise of their discussions gradually increased. In short, the entire playground became inexplicably chaotic.
Here, the girl looked at the constantly flashing phone screen and tapped on the message with the red dot on it.
It was Gong Rui who sent it. We just added each other on WeChat that day, and I didn't expect to use it today.
"Qiqi, you're backstage too? Are you going to give a speech later? Don't blame me for being nosy, but I still want to ask, did you prepare this speech or did the school prepare it?"
Qi Jiu looked at the message and calmly replied: "School."
Soon, the other side sent another message.
"Does your draft contain any pretentious lines? If so, you shouldn't read it aloud. It's too offensive. All I hear around me is people cursing Xiao Chuan."
Xiao Chuan: "..."
Looking at the line of text above, the girl subconsciously glanced at Xiao Chuan, who was still on the stage, and chuckled softly.
Qi Jiu: It's okay, I don't have any here.
To outsiders, it might seem that their manuscripts were prepared by the school, but that's not the case.
Actually, she was supposed to write the article herself, but she was too lazy to do so, so she had the school prepare it.
Wei Huan: "..." Hmph!
In other words, the pretentious elements in Xiao Chuan's manuscript are his own true thoughts.
However, Qi Jiu did not tell Gong Rui these things. After all, this matter was difficult to judge, and if word got out, Xiao Chuan might cause trouble again.
To avoid any trouble, she didn't mention it at all.
Having received the answer she wanted, Gong Rui, sitting in the audience, subconsciously let out a sigh of relief and nudged Chen Yueqiu next to her.
"Luckily, Qiqi's manuscript is okay, otherwise she would have been cursed to death. Who did Xiao Chuan offend to dare to write like that!"
Listen to the sounds around you; they're still cursing.
They admitted that Xiao Chuan's grades were indeed very good, but if it came down to his pretentious attitude, he might be isolated tomorrow.
Xiao Chuan: "..." Is it possible that he wrote this manuscript himself?
The noise on the podium finally stopped, which meant that Qi Jiu was about to go on stage.
Holding the paper in her slender fingers, she calmly walked onto the stage and arrived at the place where she was giving her speech, all under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
She didn't speak immediately, but glanced at the audience and spotted Qi Silin in just one glance.
The man was smiling at her. His suit seemed out of place in the setting, but it looked exceptionally good on him.
"Hello everyone, I'm Qi Jiu, and I'm also the holder of this year's letter of introduction. I believe many of you have questions about my grades..."
Qi Jiu's appearance caused a reaction from the audience that was different from before. Her script was completely different from Xiao Chuan's; hers was more authentic, which attracted everyone present.
Some people might be attracted to her because of her good looks, others because of the letter of introduction she received, and still others because her words didn't sound pretentious...
The audience had fallen silent at some point, all watching the young woman giving her speech on stage.
Xiao Chuan stood backstage, looking at the quiet audience, and was taken aback.
Wait, what's going on?
After an unknown amount of time, the girl looked at Qi Silin below the stage with a smile on her lips.
"That concludes my speech. Thank you everyone."
As the girl stepped to the side and bowed in thanks, thunderous applause erupted from the audience, a stark contrast to Xiao Chuan's attitude after his speech.
Backstage, Qi Jiu had just sat down when she felt someone walking towards her. Looking up, she saw Xiao Chuan with a somewhat angry expression on his face.
He looked very angry, but he still forced a smile, which looked rather awkward.
"You got in through the back door?"
Qi Jiu smiled calmly. "Didn't you see the results online?"
When the topic of 'online' came up, Xiao Chuan laughed sarcastically, "Who knows if it's true or false, who knows if you cheated!"
"So, you're questioning the professors in various fields at University A?" she said, standing up and smiling at Xiao Chuan.
"The questions that day were set by the most senior professor at University A, and the university president, Wei Huan, watched the whole process. You can't afford to mess with that?"
With the professor and Wei Huan suppressing him, Xiao Chuan fell silent.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Jiu left without hesitation.
The air quality is bad, and it makes me feel gloomy.
After the girl left, Xiao Chuan was the only one left in the lounge. He stood there blankly for a long time before he came to his senses.
He looked at the closed door of the lounge with anger in his eyes.
What are you pretending for? If the professor is personally supervising, then so be it. What are you pretending for now? Is the reason you're not taking the college entrance exam because you look down on him?
Qi Jiu: You're overthinking it, buddy. Who do you think you are?
The opening ceremony was still in progress, and Qi Jiu didn't have any scenes to film later on, so she returned to the audience early.
Gong Rui saw her figure and smiled brightly. Just as she was about to wave at her, she found that she had changed her seat to sit in a different direction.
