Chapter 449: First Place 1

Outside the examination hall, students participating in the Mathematical Olympiad competition, along with their school’s principal and teachers, remained anxiously waiting. Despite the winter chill, they persevered and waited outside.

Ye Xiyuan was among them. Though she maintained a facade of composure, her heart was brimming with anxiety, especially as the system remained unresponsive to her repeated calls. It nearly doubled her apprehension.

While the system had shown signs of issues recently, she knew she couldn’t succeed without its help. She had just submitted several clothing design drafts to Ye Li, and the company’s hopes for the fashion design competition now rested on her shoulders.

Without the system’s aid, victory was impossible. She dreaded the prospect of losing her utility and how her father, Ye Li, might treat her.

She couldn’t rely on Murong Yanshu any longer. They hadn’t crossed paths since the last banquet. Even phone calls to the Nangong family only received a dismissive reply from the servants claiming she was too busy. She knew clearly that Murong Yanshu had distanced herself from her following the revelations made by Nangong Xuyao at the event. Though she retained the title of Murong Yanshu’s goddaughter, she couldn’t bask in her godmother’s glory.

Now, she could only pray for divine intervention, hoping to secure first place in the Mathematical Olympiad competition. Only then could she reap the rewards from the system. With her augmented beauty and innate excellence, finding a man superior to Nangong Xuyao shouldn’t be too challenging.

Shengan High School’s principal, Zheng Anyang, remained outside, not in his car, anxiously awaiting the results. Despite his confidence in Ye Lengan, he couldn’t completely ease his mind as the results hadn’t been announced yet.

“Hey, Principal Zheng, you’re waiting for the results!” The principal of Capital No.l High School approached, looking at Zheng Anyang with a smiling face. He quipped, ‘Principal Zheng, you seem full of confidence this time! I wonder if the outcome will align with your wishes!”

“Hehe, the results will be revealed soon, won’t they?” Zheng Anyang replied with a confident smile. “l know Capital No.l High School has dominated for several years. It’s time for you to take a step back!”

“It’s all about one’s own abilities,” Principal Zhou asserted with confidence. “As long as Principal Zhengs students possess the capability, they’ll claim the top spot.”

Despite his words, Principal Zhou exuded strong faith in his own students. After all, over the past few years, their school had consistently emerged as the victor in the Mathematical Olympiad. Most of the capital’s finest students had congregated at Capital No.l High School, and with their robust teaching staff, the quality of their students was unparalleled.

“Of course,” Zheng Anyang concurred, flashing a confident smile. “When the time comes, we’ll see the abilities of our two schools’ students.’

“It appears Principal Zheng is indeed quite confident!” Principal Zhou nodded and grinned. “I heard that a student from your school submitted her paper half an hour into the exam!”

This information was not a secret; it was likely that everyone in the examination hall was aware. When the student left the examination hall, she had done so openly, with no intention of concealing anything.

Zheng Anyang was aware that Principal Zhou was referring to Ye Lengan, but he remained composed and responded, “Indeed, there is such a student.”

“Then it seems that your school’s students are truly remarkable!” Principal

Zhou smiled and remarked, “They say several professors from the Capital

University’s Mathematics Department were involved in setting the

Mathematical Olympiad this time. It’s said to be the most challenging paper in history. Yet, your student submitted her paper within half an hour. It seems that you’ve educated her well!”

Though Principal Zhou praised the student, his expression showed no admiration. Instead, he appeared to be enjoying the spectacle, indicating his skepticism regarding the student’s ability to excel in all the questions..
