Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 44: First Round of Competition

The bell notifying the end of the competition rang, and the teachers came down to collect the test papers one by one. After dawdling for more than ten minutes, Shen Qingqing finally walked out of the examination room with the crowd.

The senior student sitting behind her walked behind her sighing.

Shen Qingqing thought about the content of the rematch test. If the proportion of domestic and foreign classics in the preliminary round was 60% domestic and 40% foreign, then the proportion in the rematch would be 50-50.

But they are basically all contents that have appeared in the review materials. Except for a few fill-in-the-blank questions that require you to read the original work and associate them to get the answers, the rest are not difficult questions.

This senior student is the one who scored 95 points in the preliminary round. She doesn't look like someone who would find the content of this exam difficult.

After leaving the examination room, the Chinese teacher was still waiting for them at the seat where they had been waiting for the preliminary round, and another senior student from the higher grade was standing next to him.

Shen Qingqing glanced at his expression. Although he was not as confident as in the preliminary round, he could be said to be relatively relaxed.

As soon as I walked up to the Chinese teacher, I heard the senior ask, "Wu Ziqi, are you pretending not to have a test again to trick the little girl? Look, she doesn't even dare to speak when she walks next to you!"

Shen Qingqing blinked and waved her hands frantically. "No! Don't talk nonsense!" She didn't speak because she didn't know him, but she didn't dare!
Then she saw the senior student called Wu Ziqi change her previous sighing expression, slowly raised her fist, and counted down in a clear and light voice: "Three, two..."

"Sorry, sister, I was just joking with you!"

Seeing that he stood at attention after being beaten, Shen Qingqing wanted to laugh at the expression of this senior.

"Chen Qingyu, if you can't speak, just shut up. If I hear you say anything slanderous about me again, I will beat you in front of your mother." The tone of Wu Ziqi's voice was very disconnected from the content of his words.

Shen Qingqing was stunned, especially by the speed at which her senior Chen Qingyu slid to his knees. It was exactly the same as the "Laozi Shudaoshan" videos she saw on Douyin in her previous life.

"Okay, don't be discouraged if you didn't do well in the test. It's just a competition. Don't take it too seriously." The Chinese teacher seemed to have gotten used to the two people's quarrels and directly ignored their playfulness and treated the three of them equally.

Wu Ziqi pursed her lips and said, "There are several questions about foreign classics. I feel like the answers are right on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't remember them..."

Chen Qingyu said quickly: "I told you to come to my house to read the original book. If you didn't come, I knew you wouldn't know it when I wrote the answer."

Shen Qingqing stood nearby and saw Wu Ziqi pursing her lips tightly, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. She felt that if there were special effects visualization, her forehead would be covered with red cross marks.

Seeing this, Chen Qingyu immediately called for help: "But most people are not as good at reading the original novel as I am. If you don't believe me, ask the little sister. Didn't she answer it either?"

Shen Qingqing looked at Wu Ziqi, opened her mouth, and decided to lie a little: "Ah... yes! It is a bit difficult, I have been thinking about it for a long time!"

After saying this, Shen Qingqing thought to herself, this shouldn't be considered a lie, she only said that she thought about it, but didn't say that she couldn't!
Unexpectedly, Wu Ziqi looked at her quietly and said, "Sister, have you forgotten that I was sitting behind you? When you finished, I was still only halfway through writing. You're so short, and I saw you drawing on the draft paper..."

"Also, after finishing the test, you can leave early. Don't disturb others who haven't finished their papers in the exam room. It's a bit discouraging."

After Shen Qingqing's lie was exposed, her attempt to take care of her senior from the same school was also exposed. She didn't expect that she didn't need it. After giving an awkward yet polite smile, she quietly walked over to the Chinese teacher to look at the tree. It was a mistake. She had calculated everything, but she hadn't calculated that she was too small to block the view.

After hearing what Wu Ziqi said, the Chinese teacher and Chen Qingyu looked at Shen Qingqing with surprised expressions.

Especially Chen Qingyu, his family conditions are similar to Wu Ziqi's. He has been enrolled in various interest classes since he was a child, and the knowledge he has mastered can be said to be quite good among his peers.

They have participated in various competitions together since childhood. Their answering speed in written tests is always similar, and even their scores are always high and low, so neither of them is willing to admit defeat and always wants to compete with each other.

But now he actually heard from Wu Ziqi that this little girl who was only in the first grade answered the test paper faster than the two of them!
Does she not need to think when doing the questions? !

So he subconsciously had a question: "Little sister, aren't there many things you can't do?"

"no……"

"Chen Qingyu, who are you suspecting? I can see clearly with both eyes, okay? The test paper is filled with answers. Even if you dig out your eyeballs and put them on mine, I still can't see clearly!"

Shen Qingqing had just said three words when Wu Ziqi fired off a string of words like a machine gun.

The Chinese teacher also heard the doubt in Chen Qingyu's tone and took over the conversation to explain, "Qingyu, don't underestimate Qingqing. Qingqing has been reading books at home. Although the books she has read are not as many as yours, nor as professional, but recently she has been reading books about this competition."

"They even went to Xinhua Bookstore specifically to buy these books according to the list I gave them."

Shen Qingqing stood beside the Chinese teacher and smiled at Chen Qingyu. She didn't even need to finish what she had just said, as someone had already given her a reasonable explanation.

It was worth it that she carried a bunch of books from her uncle's house back to show off before the Chinese teacher visited her home, and it was worth it that she took the books she brought from home to school and showed them off before and after every Chinese class.

So this is what it feels like to be prepared in advance?
Shen Qingqing felt happy and began to wonder whether she should also take some books on finance and economics and show them in front of her uncle.

But she quickly dismissed the idea. Her uncle himself was a college graduate with a business degree, so there was no need for her to rush in and show off her skills. She only needed to casually give him some pointers on the future direction, and her uncle would be able to run on the right path.

On the way back, Shen Qingqing sat next to Wu Ziqi and could feel Chen Qingyu's scrutiny from time to time.

But she didn't care. Being stared at wouldn't evaporate her money in the stock market, so let her just look!
When Shen Qingqing returned home, she found that the house was very lively. Wu Jingyuan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, came to her house with her uncle.

"Hey! Qingqing is back?" Wu Jingyuan could see the door by turning his head on the single sofa where he was sitting, so he was the first person to notice that Shen Qingqing had returned home.

Shen Qingqing greeted him with a smile, and when she walked over, she found a gift box spread out on the coffee table. Next to the gift box was a design drawing, on which were placed the pendants and chains that her mother had burned for Zhang Hengyun to see before.

　See you tomorrow night~
