Qian Jinfeng was like a proud peacock, acting as if nobody was good enough to match her son!
Her son was the second-highest scorer!
If this were ancient times, he could have climbed straight up the ranks to a high official position!
What about Ni Yang?
Ni Yang was just a country bumpkin! A worthless private entrepreneur!
Did she think she could aspire to her son’s level?
She was utterly lacking in self-awareness!
Li Dongliang said to Li Wei as he pulled him along, "Let’s go, let’s go! Son, we must hurry! We don’t want the journalists to get anxious!"
This was Li Dongliang’s first time being on television in all his years!
Though it was his son who scored second, he, as the father, basked in the reflected glory!
Li Wei looked back at Ni Yang, "Ni Yang, I’ll be going ahead then, don’t be too sad. After all, grades don’t represent everything."
"Let’s go, let’s go," Qian Jinfeng urged as she walked away, "Son, why waste words on her? You’re not even from the same world as her!"
Han Xiaoyu looked back at the Li family of three and curiously asked, "Yangyang, you know that second-highest scorer?"
Ni Yang nodded without hiding anything, "I met him back when I was running a noodle stall."
Han Xiaoyu exclaimed, "That’s incredible! He even managed to become the top scorer in the entire city!"
At that time, earning the second-highest score was an immense honor! It signified a bright future ahead!
They walked and chatted until they reached the classroom in no time.
There were already lots of people in the classroom, waiting just for the homeroom teacher to announce the results.
Ni Yang’s arrival once again caused a sensation.
The looks from everyone were mixed – there was admiration, but also mockery, schadenfreude, and other complicated expressions all intertwined.
You see, Ni Yang used to often rank first in the entire school, but now, the second-highest score had been snagged by someone from class four...
That was a bit strange!
Before this, everyone thought that Ni Yang would at least rank within the top three!
