Chapter 94: This Candidate Isn’t Someone We Can Afford to Interview

“All right.” Tan Mo nodded obediently.

She only regarded Ming Yeqing as a friend anyway. She had never imagined herself with Ming Yeqing in the future.

So now she agreed with what Wei Zhiqian and her brother said without any hesitation.

Wei Zhiqian called the old mansion to let them know that they had already set off.

After the two elders found out that Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing were also coming with them, and Ming Yeqing had gotten a score of 745 points on the exam, they got busy.

“Although we aren’t allowed to set off fireworks, why don’t we get people to perform a lion dance?” Old Master Wei thought aloud and said, “With all the drums banging, it would be just as festive. Then two couplets could be spit out of the lion dancer’s mouth, one couplet saying, Mo Mo perfect score, while the other couplet would say, Ming Yeqing five points less.”

The Old Madame felt that the idea was good when she heard the first part, but at the second part, she felt that something was wrong.

“What do you mean, five points less?” Old Madame complained, “He is still the highest scorer on the science version of the exam. He might have scored five points less than the perfect score, but that is totally different from just saying five points less, okay?”

HMPH! The Old Master was biased. “Whether he is the highest scorer for the science version of the exam is uncertain. Even if it is true, he still scored five points less than our Mo Mo.”

TSK, TSK! The Old Madame chuckled, She couldn’t be bothered to argue with the Old Master any further. She checked the news on her phone.

The Old Master asked Butler Zhu to contact the lion dance team and have them arrive as soon as possible.

“You are making things difficult for people. There’s less than an hour before the party starts. Even if Butler Zhu gets into contact with them, do you think the lion dance team will fly over here?” The Old Madame rolled her eyes.

“Then what do you say we should do?” The Old Master paced back and forth while saying regretfully, “We should have planned this in advance. We should have had more confidence in Mo Mo.”

“Let’s just keep a low profile and celebrate in the house. When Mo Mo chooses her school and the admission letter is sent… No, when she starts university, we will celebrate again.” The Old Madam was very cautious. “Lest a villain tries to sabotage things again.”

Although it was impossible to be completely foolproof, it was never wrong to be cautious.

The Old Master agreed with her. “That villian is called Yuan Keqing, right? I’m so angry! HMPH! When Mo Mo’s results are announced, she’s going to be livid!”

Yuan Keqing is Xu Mingzhen’s niece, so it’s a Xu family affair. No matter how much the Wei family cares about Tan Mo, they are still outsiders so it isn’t appropriate for them to get involved.

“It’s out!” At this moment, the Old Madame shouted.

“What’s out?” The Old Master asked.

“The highest score for the liberal arts college entrance examination is a perfect score of 750 points! The highest score for the science college entrance examination is 745 points. Mo Mo and Ming Yeqing have respectively won!” The Old Madame said happily, “Oh, these kids are too excellent.”

“As expected of Mo Mo’s friend… Mo Mo really has good judgment.” The Old Master thought Tan Mo was the best.

Tan Mo and Ming Yeqing’s identities weren’t disclosed in the news.

This required their consent.

But how could Ming Yeqing’s parents be contacted?

The reporters couldn’t even find Ming Yeqing’s parents, let alone seek their consent to disclose Ming Yeqing’s name, school, and other information.

As for Tan Mo, Tan Wenci happened to receive a call from reporters in the car.

“Sorry, but I don’t want to disclose the information about my child at the moment, nor do I want any media outlets to disclose the name of my child,” Tan Wenci said without hesitation.

“But this is a good thing.” The reporter was trying to persuade him. “I promise, we will never disclose your daughter’s information to anyone. Our only purpose is to promote your child. The prestigious schools will no doubt compete with each other and provide your daughter with favorable conditions. Your family can choose among the best.”

“No need.” Tan Wenci refused decisively. “We just want to protect the privacy of our child, and we are unwilling to disclose her name. As for the other stuff, we don’t care.”

“But…” The reporter tried to persuade him again.

The editor-in-chief was walking toward him while waving anxiously, “Don’t ask! Don’t ask!”

The editor-in-chief came over and whispered to the reporter, “Don’t ask about the highest scorer for the liberal arts college entrance examination anymore.”

The reporter hurriedly said sorry to Tan Wenci and hung up the phone. Then he turned to the editor-in-chief and asked, “Why? The college entrance examination is only taken once a year so there is much attention placed on it. This year, there’s even someone who got a perfect score. This situation is so rare…”

“The president of our corporation personally called the boss of our company,” the editor-in-chief whispered.

They were just one company among the many companies in their corporation.

“The president of our corporation personally called to talk about this?” The reporter took a deep breath. He had been going to contact someone for an interview, but unexpectedly there was some sort of inside story…?

“Yes.” The editor-in-chief nodded. “So don’t try to contact them anymore. This candidate isn’t someone we can afford to interview.”

As for Wei Zhiqian, he had just hung up the phone not that long ago.

Naturally, Wei Zhiqian’s people had spoken to the president of the media corporation.

Because the news did not disclose the identities of the two top scorers nor did they disclose which school they had come from, and because of the mysteriousness of this situation that had never happened with the college entrance examination in past years, all the netizens were curious.

“Why are this year’s two top scorers being kept so mysterious? No news of them at all?”

“I really want to know who these two geniuses are.”

“Turns out that the top scorer for the liberal arts version of the college entrance examination is the same person who wrote the perfect-score essay about ‘The Battle of Chibi’.”

“Is that so? ‘The Battle of Chibi’ was the only perfect-score essay in City B this year, so of course that person has to be the top scorer for the liberal arts version of the college entrance examination.”

“How enviable. How did the parents of these two students raise them? Did their ancestors get the top scores as well?”

The Old Madame looked at the comments in the news with joy, then said to the Old Master, “I have a good impression about Ming Yeqing. His sister and Zhaoyang were good friends. Back when Zhaoyang was kidnapped, he became antisocial after being rescued. He was ill for a long time, but thanks to Yutong’s patience with him and never giving up on him, he overcame it. With such a sister, such an upbringing, Ming Yeqing will turn out very well.”

“Don’t jump to conclusions in such a hurry. You still have to get to know him first.” The Old Master poured a bucket of cold water on her.

“Ah!” The Old Madame mimicked the Old Master’s tone of voice, saying, “Isn’t this the time you say, Mo Mo’s friends must also be very exceptional, otherwise Mo Mo wouldn’t give them the time of day?”

The Old Master: “…”

“Wait for Ming Yeqing to come, and we can observe him,” The Old Madame said.

“Why are you going to observe him?” The Old Master leaned over and said, “Did you have a change of heart? Don’t you want Mo Mo anymore?”

The Old Master immediately stood up and raised his chin. “Even if you don’t want her anymore, I still want her. No matter how outstanding the other children are, they belong to others, but Mo Mo belongs to us.”
