Chapter 4: Treasures for the Beautiful Lady
He felt a bit puzzled; this Yang Qianqian, when we were in the same class before, hardly spoke to me at all. Why is she being so... enthusiastic today?
Chen Taizhong turned around and saw a classmate behind him, whose eyes were exceptionally large and whose eyelashes were long enough to sweep the floor. He recognized her as his classmate, who graduated from Phoenix City Key High School No. 13, where each class had at least seventy students
This matter cannot simply be overlooked. A faint cold smile appeared on Chen Taizhong's face. He already knew that leaving the university hastily was a mistake. If he were to stand by and watch others be "pre-selected," as a high school student aspiring to hold an official position, he would likely have to repeat his senior year and only consider his future after completing university.
No one in this world has the qualification to make Chen Taizhong suffer losses. He is temporarily overwhelmed by his own arrogance, is it predetermined? Hmph, let's wait and see. Disturbing someone's cultivation is far more serious than cutting off their financial resources
Over six hundred and forty points, not going to university, coming to take the civil service exam? Yang Qianqian was even more bewildered, this guy... really is something strange
"What about you, what will you do?" At that moment, Yang Qianqian truly felt the warmth from her classmates
"Is there any way?" Yang Qianqian sighed deeply. After this question, she became even more resolute in her intention to go for "counseling" that evening. "Everyone is the same."
"Be careful, I heard that quite a few people have been pre-selected," Yang Qianqian leaned closer and whispered to him, the youthful aura of the girl unabashedly enveloping him.
"You are my classmate," Chen Taizhong said to her with a candid smile, "Isn't it against the natural order for classmates not to help each other?"
In the next moment, she realized a serious problem, yes, very serious, and her heart immediately became alert, "Why are you lending me such a valuable item..."
Especially when he is lost in thought, although such moments are not frequent, the words he unconsciously utters are often quite abrasive. Therefore, in the eyes of most classmates, he is still considered a rather eccentric person. Moreover, since everyone is a prodigy and has heavy academic burdens, it is quite normal that no one is willing to associate with him much
Oh, it's you," Chen Taizhong said with a smile, "Are you here to take the exam as well?"
No! He suddenly realized something. Someone had shared such important information with him; if he did not offer some form of gratitude, it seemed that he was lacking in emotional intelligence.
Who knows? Yang Qianqian also considered that the person might not be a real examiner. However, this failure in the college entrance examination was a significant blow to her. Although she was well aware that evening tutoring was probably not a good path, what if things were not as bad as she imagined?
Upon seeing the notice for the civil service examination, she also discovered some "loopholes" within it and decided to give it a try. When she noticed her classmates appearing, she assumed that they had also not been admitted to school, which gave her the courage to greet them.
As he pondered this question, he lifted his gaze and found that Yang Qianqian had already vanished without a trace. A glance around revealed an infinitely beautiful silhouette gradually receding into the distance
"It's nothing, there's an examiner inside who is very nice to me," Yang Qianqian's face flushed. She had one more thing to say, that the examiner asked her to go to his house for tutoring in the evening.
"What is it?" Yang Qianqian noticed that he was lost in thought and called out to him several times before leaving. Seeing him chase after her, she felt a bit puzzled
"You need to work hard as well," Chen Taizhong whispered, feeling somewhat displeased inside. Hmm? Is there really such a thing as predetermined outcomes? How can such an unfair situation occur?
Since he wanted to connect to hetushu.com, he was about to leave when suddenly a voice came from behind, "Chen Taizhong, have you also registered for the exam?"
A woman in power? Chen Taizhong was somewhat taken aback, but he did not express it; his emotional intelligence has improved
"In this college entrance examination, I scored over six hundred and forty points..." With this remark, he walked away with an air of confidence
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. After pondering for a while, he still hasn't quite figured it out. He always feels that there are benefits to doing it this way. Anyway, since I can recognize this problem, my emotional intelligence must have improved!
"Yes, the information was sent so late, I feel even more confident now," Chen Taizhong said frankly, and he did not find anything inappropriate in those words
However, no matter how many people there are, he can still remember the one who greets him. Yang Qianqian, the publicity committee member of the class, is beautiful, and what is particularly commendable is that she is talented in singing and dancing, making her a well-known active participant in every class activity
Yang Qianqian stared at his demonstration, stunned for a full ten minutes before she finally reacted. She covered her small mouth in surprise, realizing that this Chen Taizhong was indeed an eccentric, possessing such... such outrageous things
"Yang Qianqian, wait for me," he shouted while chasing after her and the books. On the roadside, a bespectacled man dropped his glasses with a "thud." "Isn't that the deaf-mute from earlier?"
"I will give you, oh no, lend you a good thing," Chen Taizhong looked around to ensure no one was present, then took off the small Xumi ring from his hand, "This thing should be used like this..."
Someone is taking care of her, so I probably don't need to worry. At this moment, he became carefree again and turned to head home
It seems that I have handled this matter somewhat inappropriately! Chen Taizhong did not walk away; instead, he stood outside the registration area in a daze. In a vague sense, he felt that pretending to be deaf and mute and shrinking away from the situation was not the best choice to address what had just occurred.
Certainly, if he had to choose a side, he would definitely choose the side of the short and stout, as they can represent the organization in discussions; he is quite astute.
It is unknown who once said, "Only the paranoid can succeed." Now, Chen Taizhong has fallen into a state of paranoia, striving to consider whether there could have been a better approach to handle the situation just now
"These examiners may not be good people," Chen Taizhong had already thought of his response, "You received this material so late, will you be able to catch up on your revision?"
Indeed, regarding the picture book, Yang Qianqian nodded earnestly. She is one of the few in the class who did not gain admission to university, not due to insufficient scores, as her scores exceeded the threshold, albeit marginally low, making it impossible for her to enter the school she desired. She plans to attend a supplementary year of high school.
Wouldn't that be missing an opportunity
"How is it? Do you have confidence?" The middle school students who have just graduated are still quite naive, Yang Qianqian kindly asked.
As for me, I can naturally manage to review," Chen Taizhong's little tail perked up again. Although this pertains to emotional intelligence, it is also closely related to his personality
His emotional intelligence is low, but his intelligence quotient is not low. Just now, should I choose a side and support one of them? In doing so, although I would offend one side, there is no doubt that I would gain great favor from the other side
His reaction is quite normal. Although he is determined to improve his emotional intelligence after reflecting on his past mistakes and is making an effort to get along well with his classmates at school, it is important to note that it takes time to change ingrained habits. His bad habits have been formed over hundreds of years, and expecting him to change them overnight is unrealistic
Examiner? Chen Taizhong was somewhat taken aback, realizing the severity of the situation. That short and stout individual, if he were indeed the examiner, this would have been a serious misstep. Isn't this the registration area? How could an examiner possibly appear here?
