Chapter 92: Number One in Comprehensive Strength

Li Hanlei could not stand the crowd praising Xue Xi, so she said, “Yaoyao, don’t be disheartened. She’s surely going to attend the Math Winter Camp and won’t be participating in Physics. By then, you will have gone through the winter camp’s training and she won’t. You will definitely win against her in the finals!”

Although Fan Han did not want to bother about the two of them, Xue Yao was his fiancée now. Thinking about his reputation, he knew he had to congratulate her, so he said, “Good luck.”

When the two of them finished speaking, they realized that there was something wrong with Xue Yao’s expression. She was staring at her phone, her face pale and her fingers trembling. Her expression was exceptionally ferocious as she mumbled, “How did this happen…”

Li Hanlei looked at her phone. “169? Yaoyao, is this your score? How is that possible?”

Xue Yao had always been the focus of the school’s Physics Olympiad’s training. Usually, she would score above 200 marks in her exams, and she would be awarded the first prize with 190 marks. Now… she was not even qualified to participate in the Winter Camp?

The physics teacher walked in and said, “Congratulations, Xue Xi. You’ve obtained the first place in the provincial Physics Olympiad. You should also be the first in the country.”

After saying that, she turned to look at Xue Yao and frowned. “Xue Yao, what’s wrong with you this time? Were you feeling unwell during the examination? You didn’t even get the second prize and only got the third prize.”

Third prize…

She would only be given an award and it would be useless!

Xue Yao seemed to be in a daze as she sat on her seat. “Teacher, they must have gotten the wrong paper!”

The physics teacher sighed. “After your results were out, I also felt that there was a mistake and applied to check the papers.”

At this point, the physics teacher said, “But you really did not perform well. Usually, you can answer the questions correctly, but you actually wrote them down wrongly during the examination. Student Xue Yao, don’t be too calculative. If you can’t walk the path of the competition, you should study hard and just take the college entrance examination.”

As soon as the physics teacher finished speaking, Old Liu rushed into the classroom. He looked at Xue Xi and said, “That… Xue Xi, the Physics Department of Huazhong University also called to ask if you want to consider being admitted to their school?”

Their Math and Physics departments were the best in the country.

The entire classroom fell silent.

Xue Xi was always able to create a miracle-like high score, and the students were already used to it. However, now that Huazhong University was attempting to poach people from Huaxia, it was so obvious!

It was truly a rare sight to see two elite schools with such a long history snatching people!

However, the person in question, Xue Xi, appeared calm as she slowly lifted her head and replied, “No.”

Old Liu continued, “They said that the tuition fees are all waived and the scholarship can be discussed. Their school’s major is everyone’s top choice.”

“…I don’t lack money.”

Old Liu was speechless for a moment before asking curiously, “Why did you choose Huaxia University?”

Xue Xi replied, “Because it has the highest overall capability.”

“…”

Old Liu was dumbstruck. After a while, he finally understood what she meant.

Xue Xi had entered an elite university, and on top of that, she did not need to focus on just a single major! She could study every subject just like’s doing in high school! Hence, what she was looking at was comprehensive capability and not being the best in any major!

The rest of the students also came to their senses. Everyone was silent. At this moment, there was only one thought in their minds: The Goddess of Studying is simply inhuman!

…

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

That day, Xue Xi had just returned home from school when she heard the sounds of an argument coming from the living room. She took two steps forward and saw Liu Yiqiu arrogantly looking at Old Master Xue and Xue Sheng. “Dad, Big Brother, I asked you guys to invest, but you guys refused. Are you jealous of this first sum of money? That’s an entire ten million! Our Liu family invested twenty million yuan first, and it hasn’t even been half a month and we’ve already gained half of the interest! True gold and silver are placed here. Many wealthy families are currently using money to beg Lu Chao to let them invest in the stock market. My Big Brother really regrets why he didn’t invest a hundred million in the first place. However, my Big Brother didn’t ask for the ten percent from our family last time. In a few days, another fifty million will enter the bank!”

After hearing this, Old Lady Xue could not help but grumble. “Sheng, you’re really something. You can’t be timid when doing business. How awesome now that such a great opportunity has been lost!”

Xue Sheng frowned and did not speak.

Old Lady Xue then turned to look at Liu Yiqiu. “Second Daughter-in-law, go and ask your elder brother if we can meet Mr. Lu again. Our family needs to invest as well!”

Liu Yiqiu said, “I’ve already asked my older brother to ask, but I’m not sure if it will work. After all, we’re begging him now.”

Old Lady Xue nodded. “Alright, alright. Your Liu family is still useful. At such a crucial moment, we have to rely on you. Unlike some people who can’t do anything and only drag your husband down!”

Xue Sheng’s face darkened. “Mom, in our family, it has always been the male leading external matters while the female leads the household affairs. I was the one who made the decision not to invest. It has nothing to do with anyone else!”

Just as Old Lady Xue was about to flare up, Liu Yiqiu’s phone rang.

She walked to the side to answer the call and then returned happily. “Dad, Mr. Lu has agreed to let us invest!”

Everyone looked at her excitedly.

“It’s still 100 million, but…” Liu Yiqiu glanced at Xue Sheng. “My older brother said that Lu Chao wants to treat Xue Xi to a meal.”

The moment she said this, Xue Xi, who was about to head upstairs, paused and the living room fell silent.

Then—

“No,” Xue Sheng answered firmly.

When they ate dinner last time, he could tell that Lu Chao had fallen for Xixi. How could he push his biological daughter into the fire pit?

Old Lady Xue, on the other hand, said, “What’s wrong with that? We’re all businessmen, so what’s wrong with having a meal? Is your daughter precious? Is there anything more expensive than a meal of fifty million yuan?”

Ye Li was trembling in anger. “Mom, do you know what you’re talking about? This meal is clearly just Lu Chao’s excuse!”

Old Lady Xue snorted. “So what if that’s the case? How can that hooligan’s boyfriend compare to Lu Chao? Lu Chao is a talent. I think Xue Xi won’t lose out if she marries him!”

Second Brother shouted from the side, “Last time, Big Brother made a wrong decision and didn’t earn any money. Then this time, your family should be the one to make up for this mistake. Let my niece have a meal and not lose any meat! I don’t care. Anyway, I want to invest!”

Xue Sheng looked at the so-called relatives in front of him and took a deep breath. “I’ll put it here. I, Xue Sheng, will not sell my daughter to seek glory! I won’t invest in this! Since you guys insist, let’s split up. I’ll take Ye Li and Xixi with me!”
