My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

Chapter 132: The New Classmate Rong Rong

Chapter 132

The prestigious Sun Group was revealed to be a front for a human trafficking ring.

This revelation caused a huge uproar in society.

Especially shocking was that Sun Shouli, the dream lover of many netizens, was secretly a lawbreaker masquerading as a law-abiding citizen.

Well, simply calling him a lawbreaker doesn't quite cover it - he had violated about half the criminal code.

The crimes he was found guilty of were enough to warrant ten death sentences, if that were possible.

Despite his numerous offenses, he could only be executed once.

Apart from being pressured daily by their homeroom teacher, students spent their time online reading about Sun Shouli's criminal record.

Detailed articles described when and how he killed each victim, using various methods.

It's not an exaggeration to say we live in an information age. Even the girlfriend of the Second Young Master Fu was exposed as both a corporate spy and an experienced human trafficker.

It's unclear where these netizens got their information, but frustratingly, these so-called rumors turned out to be highly accurate.

After the spring tour, Shi Li and several other top students in the class began preparing for the June mathematics competition, spending each day solving problem after problem.

After last year's incident with the student who scored only 8 points, the school was extremely cautious in submitting names this year. After multiple rounds of selection, they finally chose five students from the first-year high school cohort.

Shi Li heard that Feng Yunhe was originally supposed to participate but declined for some reason, so his spot went to the sixth-ranked student.

When she heard this news, she dramatically expressed her regret at not being able to take the exam with "Brother Yunhe," calling it the greatest disappointment of her life.

She only felt satisfied when she saw her classmates grimacing as if in pain at her exaggerated reaction.

Originally, only Shi Li from Class 1 had been selected. Because Feng Yunhe gave up his spot, Gu Yuqing picked up the opportunity.

Before the exam, the homeroom teacher gave them a pep talk in the office, telling them not to be nervous and just perform as usual.

No matter what, they should be able to win a team award this time.

Shi Li nodded, "Yes, without anyone scoring just 8 points to drag us down, we have a better chance of winning a team award."

The students selected this time were all top performers in every exam, so they knew each other well.

Even though the homeroom teacher was away for training at the time, it didn't stop him from remotely following the gossip.

Bad news travels fast - the inglorious 8-point score had already spread among teachers in Blue City.

There was no need to worry about someone using money to miraculously transform mediocrity into genius and squeeze another 8-point wonder into the competition team.

The 8-point scorer knew it was embarrassing, and the school was afraid of losing face again.

More importantly, the 8-point scorer had been very busy recently, focusing on developing their career and expanding their business territory.

After returning from the spring tour, Liang Rongrong had filmed a promotional video for the Feng Group, which was quickly released online.

The promo video gained massive attention as soon as it was released, trending on social media several times, with related videos receiving an explosion of shares and likes.

It's unclear if there were marketing efforts behind this, as other companies had made promo videos before, but they had fallen flat, like throwing a pebble into a calm river with no ripples.

Those videos are still pinned to the top of various corporate official accounts, with sparse likes and shares, probably from employees trying to make things look good.

Thanks to her successful appearance in the promo video, Liang Rongrong gained some fame.

Some small production companies invited her to audition. They originally wanted her for a minor role, but when the director saw her, he felt her image and acting skills were perfect, so he upgraded her from a bit part to the female lead.

(This is how she promoted it publicly, though it's unclear if it's true or if Feng's father used money to buy her the lead role)

Although it wasn't a big-name director, this director's previous drama from a year ago had a small hit. For someone just entering the industry and so young to already be playing lead roles, her future seemed limitless.

With such a bright future ahead, how could she still focus on studying diligently?

When the school was selecting names for the competition, Liang Rongrong was busy joining the film crew and rarely came to school for classes. How could she possibly find time to participate in the competition?

Moreover, the alternate for this competition was Gu Yuqing. If she wanted to squeeze Gu Yuqing out, the Gu family wasn't one to be trifled with.

While Liang Rongrong was filming, Shi Li and the other four students spent a weekend participating in the competition exam.

The exam went quickly, but it would take some time for the results to come out.

This time, no one dragged the team down, and everyone performed well. Gu Yuqing especially exceeded expectations, surprisingly winning a bronze medal. She was originally just there to make up numbers, but no one expected her to win an award.

In this competition, Qianpu School won one gold medal, one silver medal, and two bronze medals, achieving second place in the team competition.

The top high school in the province won first place in the team competition. They had the same number of gold medals as Qianpu School but three silver medals.

The teacher who led the five students to the competition comforted them, "You did very well this time. Compared to the top provincial school, our school's student base is still a bit lacking. Getting second place in the team competition is already very impressive. Tonight, I'll treat you all to dinner. You've been working hard for so long, let's go out and relax a bit."

The teacher leading the team didn't have a high alcohol tolerance. After just half a bottle of beer, he started slurring his words and treating the students like they were his superiors, "Chief, let me tell you, we got second place this time, next time we can get first place."

Shi Li, sitting across from the teacher, lowered her head and quipped: [It's not uncommon to see leaders making empty promises to employees, but this is the first time I've seen a subordinate making empty promises to the boss]

Gu Yuqing heard Shi Li's sarcastic comment and struggled to hold back her laughter.

The classmate sitting next to Gu Yuqing thought she was just unable to bear the teacher's drunken state, which explained her pained expression.

"Chief, I have a plan that can get us two gold medal winners next year. With two gold medal students, we'll definitely get first place."

The male student sitting next to the teacher was bolder. Imitating the way a director might speak, he asked, "What brilliant idea do you have?"

The teacher, slurring his words, replied, "It's, it's not that, that difficult. Just get the gold medal winner to come to our school. Next competition, we'll have two gold medals."

Everyone: ...... You're quite the little genius, aren't you?

"That doesn't seem easy to do."

The teacher waved his hand dismissively, "It's very doable. There's no problem money can't solve."

Everyone fell silent: ......

During the dinner, neither Shi Li nor Gu Yuqing could have imagined that the teacher's casual remark would actually come true.

A week later, the homeroom teacher brought a tall, thin girl into the classroom and introduced her as their new classmate.

When introducing the new student, the homeroom teacher spent a bit more time than usual.

He emphasized, "Rongrong is a top student from the provincial key high school. In the recent math competition that our classmates Shi Li and Gu Yuqing participated in, she achieved excellent results, winning the only gold medal besides Shi Li. From now on, she will be our classmate. I hope everyone can get along well and help each other in both life and studies, progressing together."

[No way, Teacher Wang really managed to bring over their precious student?]
