Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School

Chapter 3308 - 3308 Always Second Place

3308 Always Second Place

“Will I get second place forever?” Leng Xiaoyao joked.

“If you end up in second place, that’s not too bad.” Zhou Jing replied.

As long as they placed in the top 3, they would be guaranteed admission to the Capital University. Therefore, the honor would still go to the Experimental High School of City Chang.

Zhou Jing wasn’t confident about getting first place, but she was sure that Leng Xiaoyao would place in the top 3.

This time, Fan Xiaoyu didn’t dare to say anything. She was just jealous beyond words.

The first place was still the guy who got the highest score in the first round, with one point more than Leng Xiaoyao again.

Mu Beihan moved up one spot and ranked 7th.

Meanwhile, Fan Xiaoyu fell back several rankings and was no longer among the top 20. She was devastated.

The student who was previously in third place fell to fourth, while the one who was fifth climbed to third.

There weren’t many students who remained in their original rankings.

Around 1 pm, Li Mochen called Leng Xiaoyao to ask about the competition. She filled him in on the details.

“Will it be over today?” Li Mochen asked.

“Yeah, the finals are this afternoon. Then it’ll be over.” Leng Xiaoyao replied.

“Are you still staying at the hotel tonight, or are you going to Hanlin Manor? Everything is there. The cleaning staff has already done their job. You can check in at any time,” Li Mochen said.

“Let’s go to Hanlin Manor! I can leave as soon as the competition ends,” Leng Xiaoyao said. Since it was all over, she didn’t want to waste any time staying at the hotel.

She was eager to see her house and have a sparring session with Li Mochen to absorb his chaotic energy and practice her skills.

“Great, I can come to pick you up this afternoon, and we’ll go to Hanlin Manor after we eat.” Li Mochen suggested.

“Sure.” Leng Xiaoyao answered.

Leng Xiaoyao didn’t avoid saying this out loud. Although her voice wasn’t loud, many people still heard it.

Hanlin Manor?

That was a high-end villa area in the capital City!

“Do you have relatives living in Hanlin Manor, Leng Xiaoyao?” someone asked her. Since Leng Xiaoyao was from City Chang, they naturally wouldn’t think that she had a house in Hanlin Manor.

“Yeah!” Leng Xiaoyao replied without explaining further.

No one doubted her reply.

…

After hanging up the phone, Li Mochen fell into a daze.

For the past two days, he had been quietly thinking about his feelings for Leng Xiaoyao. He had no experience with a romantic relationship before, so he wasn’t sure if he liked her or not, but he was certain that when he was with her, he felt inexplicably at ease and didn’t think too deeply about things.

When he wasn’t with Leng Xiaoyao, he couldn’t help but think about her. She always seemed to easily affect his emotions.

When he heard that she had been schemed against by someone, he was angry and wanted to protect her.

He thought of what Leng Xiaoyao said about their previous incarnation and how they were a couple. He even had the idea of marrying Leng Xiaoyao in this incarnation as well.

Perhaps he really liked Leng Xiaoyao, and she held a high position in his heart.

However, until he clearly figured out his feelings, he would keep these things to himself.

…

That afternoon was the oral defense, which was the most challenging part and could easily make students nervous.

As soon as they arrived at the exam room, some students said that they were getting nervous.

There were not only many students from the Capital University watching, but also its president, a professor of Language Y, and senior leaders from the Education Bureau as judges, as well as reporters from TV stations recording the competition.

Fortunately, they were all experienced. Even if they were nervous, they wouldn’t lose their manners.

If it was their first competition, they might have lost control of themselves!

On the other hand, Leng Xiaoyao stayed calm. She had participated in countless competitions like this when she was in the Dongxia United Kingdom, so it was like playing for her.

This time, each student had to answer ten questions for a total of a hundred points.

The score could be high, but the difficulty was also high.

The order of the defense was based on rankings, so Leng Xiaoyao was the second.

The male student who ranked first went up first, still feeling a little nervous.

The higher the ranking, the more attention they received. After the first round of rankings came out, they all knew the information about the top few rankings. They had a deep impression of Leng Xiaoyao because she was too beautiful.

Not only was she beautiful, but her grades were also outstanding.

The first student to answer the questions on stage was a little nervous at first, but he stabilized after answering several questions.

However, he failed to answer all the questions at the end.

Therefore, the first student’s final score was 95 points.

It wasn’t a bad result.

After all, the questions weren’t only difficult but also oral, and oral communication had always been more difficult than written communication.

In writing, they could pause and think, but in oral communication, they couldn’t.

If they paused for one or two seconds, it wouldn’t have much impact, but if it exceeded three seconds, it would have an impact. After all, this competition was an oral defense, and the focus was on defense.

When it was Leng Xiaoyao’s turn, she immediately caused a sensation.

“Oh my god! This girl is so beautiful!”

“She’s stunning, and she’s currently in second place!”

“I have a feeling that if this girl comes to our university, the current most popular girl might lose her title.”

“…”

Hearing that, Leng Xiaoyao felt frustrated upon thinking of Gao Qilu.

She didn’t want to be in trouble all the time!

Actually, being the most popular girl didn’t necessarily mean being the most beautiful in the school. The prettiest girl was selected by the students themselves or by the majority of people who liked a certain image or style.

Different people had different preferences, so it mainly depended on what kind of image and style the majority of people liked.

Peonies and roses were both beautiful, but they were liked or disliked by different people.

Leng Xiaoyao wasn’t nervous at all, which left a good impression on the judges.

She answered the questions smoothly, just like a teacher explaining a problem, very vividly.

There were also some shortcomings, but she only lost 2 points, so Leng Xiaoyao’s final score was 98 points.

Although this was just the beginning and many students were still waiting to answer, it was unlikely that anyone would surpass Leng Xiaoyao.

Even though the defense competition had been held before, it was still the first time a score of 98 points appeared! The highest score before was only 97 points.

Now, the high score that hadn’t appeared before appeared this year. After all, a score of 98 points appeared this time.

With a score of 98 points, Leng Xiaoyao left a deep impression on the judges. They already identified her as one of the top 3.

The final ranking wasn’t based solely on this round since the scores from the previous two rounds were included, but Leng Xiaoyao had been in second place in both of those rounds. Therefore, there was basically no suspense about her being in the top 3.

Because of that, Zhou Jing was very excited.
