Chapter 128: No Score Manipulation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The examination halls were arranged based on the results. Shen Jun found himself in the first examination hall, while Wen Nian was assigned to the twelfth examination hall.

Wen Nian gazed longingly at the classroom where Shen Jun was situated. Shen Jun chuckled and reassured her, saying, “I’ll give it my all this time. During the midterm exams next semester, I’ll make sure to be in the same examination hall as you.”

Wen Nian immediately refused. “No! Test yourself well and get first place. You’re not allowed to control your scores!”

Shen Jun raised his eyebrows, realizing that he had spoken too impulsively. If he had known, he wouldn’t have revealed his intention to Wen Nian. “Alright.”

Observing Shen Jun’s nonchalant demeanor, Wen Nian grew concerned that he might genuinely test her based on her current level of knowledge. After all, Shen Jun was intimately familiar with her academic abilities. Furthermore, a true top student had the skill to strategically manage their scores.

Wen Nian furrowed her brows and gazed at Shen Jun with a serious expression. “I mean it. If you intentionally try to change your examination hall, I will be extremely upset!”

Observing Wen Nian’s earnestness, Shen Jun responded with equal seriousness, “Alright, I promise you.”

Observing the softening of Wen Nian’s gaze, Shen Jun couldn’t resist gently touching the top of her head. “Little girl, you’re starting to exhibit the demeanor of a capable housekeeper.”

Upon hearing Shen Jun’s comment, a faint blush colored Wen Nian’s cheeks. She cast a playful glance at Shen Jun and responded, “I’m heading to the examination hall now.”

As Shen Jun watched Wen Nian’s departing figure, a smile lingered on his lips. He then turned and made his way towards his own examination hall.

Not far away, Huang Yue witnessed the intimate exchange between Shen Jun and Wen Nian, and a cold smile crept across her face. Her eyes widened as she closely observed their interactions, contemplating how long Wen Nian could continue to enjoy such a blissful existence.

The first day of the exams proceeded smoothly for Wen Nian. Despite having progressed to the content of the first year of high school, she was able to confidently tackle all the knowledge points that she had previously supplemented.

In the evening, while Wen Nian was receiving tutoring, she received an unexpected call from Zheng Mo, urging her to immediately attend the high school forum in Hai City.

Sensing the urgency in Zheng Mo’s voice, Wen Nian wasted no time. She swiftly ended the call and promptly opened the webpage as instructed.

‘Shocking! The former top student of No. 1 High School has become the director’s bed partner!’

‘Is it the loss of morals or the destruction of human nature? A teenage girl willingly descends into moral degradation in pursuit of fame!’

The number of replies to the two most popular headlines continued to climb rapidly.

Wen Nian’s intuition told her that something was amiss. Then, she clicked on the article and started browsing through its contents.

The two posts she came across did not mention her by name. Instead, they insinuated that after entering No. 1 High School with outstanding academic results, the girl gradually revealed her vain and self-centered nature. Allegedly, she shamelessly sought the favor of affluent peers, resulting in a decline in her academic performance.

“I’ve never heard of someone trying to curry favor with a rich kid, but based on the description, it seems like she hit rock bottom after achieving a high score. Why do I have a strange feeling that she resembles our school’s Wen Nian?”

“To the previous commenter: The description in those posts seems to align perfectly with Wen Nian.”

“But the idea of currying favor with a rich kid seems unfamiliar. It’s possible that it’s not Wen Nian after all. Maybe it’s another student from No. 1 High School,” speculated another user.

“I have some news to share! It turns out that Wen Nian was indeed engaged to a young master from the Wei Corporation in Hai City. The engagement stemmed from Wen Nian’s grandfather saving the CEO of the Wei Corporation over a decade ago. After discovering this, Wen Nian reportedly tried to coerce the young master into marrying into her family. However, for unimown reasons, the engagement was eventually called off.”

“That could explain a lot. It seems that Wen Nian had ambitions of becoming a celebrity and ascending the social ladder. The CEO of the Wei Corporation may have recognized her gold-digging tendencies and saw through her true character. It’s possible that the engagement was called off due to her questionable behavior and intentions.”

“I agree with the previous poster. If Wen Nian’s intentions were truly driven by personal gain and a desire to climb the social ladder, it casts doubt on the quality of her work. 1 wouldn’t want to watch that!”

“Hehe, it seems like the entertainment industry is lowering its standards more and more these days. When Wen Nian first entered No. 1 High School, she was hailed as the school’s belle and many of us idolized her. Looking back, it’s clear how blind we were! 1 recently spoke to some students in her class and they confirmed that she took a long leave. Little did they know that Wen Nian was actually off filming.”

“Indeed, it appears that Wen Nian resorted to improper means to secure an acting opportunity. It’s understandable that she would refrain from publicizing her involvement in the industry until it was confirmed.”

As Wen Nian scrolled through the comments, she couldn’t help but frown slightly. The words being directed at her didn’t evoke much anger in her. Having experienced worse criticisms in her previous life, she had developed a thicker skin. Moreover, she noticed that the current attacks were mainly coming from fellow students, and their words were relatively restrained compared to what she had encountered before..
