Chapter 748: All 750?

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Zhaoming shared Gu Pei’s sentiments; he yearned to deliver a resounding blow to this group of people.

However, he possessed a calmer demeanor and understood the necessity of laying groundwork. Not only did he aim to humble them publicly, but he also intended to tarnish their reputations covertly, with the assistance of the old man!

Back then, they had rendered him defenseless. Now, he desired to inflict upon them an unparalleled sense of injustice.

Gu Zhaoming anticipated hearing a string of scores surpassing 740. Yet, what he encountered was an unsettling silence.

He stood there, dumbfounded. Had he failed to make a statement?

Gu Yang, Gu Jin, and Feng Jue stared at their phone screens in silence.

Gu Zhaoye couldn’t resist gloating. “Why the silence?”

Once again, Gu Shuzhi kicked him under the table, his eyes issuing a warning.

Why must he invite unnecessary trouble?

Gu Yang spoke up obediently, “It’s not that we’re unwilling to share, but we’re unable to. The results have been withheld.”

Old Madam Gu remained oblivious to the shock registering on everyone’s faces. With a disdainful sneer, she retorted, “Blocked? This is the first time I’ve heard of such nonsense. Are you too ashamed of your poor performance to admit it?”

Before Gu Yang could offer an explanation, an elderly gentleman at the main table, leaning on his walking stick, interjected, “No, it’s quite the opposite. They performed exceedingly well.”

The attendees recognized him as Principal Li of Hua University.

Beside him, Principal Huang from Capital University rose to elaborate, “The authorities have strictly prohibited high schools from publicizing the College Entrance Examination results. Consequently, they’ve withheld the results of the top 20 students in each province. They’ll only be accessible in four days’ time.”

Old Madam Gu’s expression froze in disbelief.

Gu Hongwei regarded her with heightened displeasure, cautioning, “Don’t embarrass yourself with your ignorance.”

It had been a promising birthday banquet, marred by the antics of Ms. Feng and her cohorts.

Old Madam Gu, already at odds with Gu Zhaoming, saw no harm in pressing the matter further. “Who knows what the top 20 scores in Jin City are? They might not even rival Shuxue’s!”

Convinced that competition in the capital exceeded that of Jin City, she deemed it unsurprising that Shuxue hadn’t ranked among the top 20.

At that moment, Principal Huang of Capital University and Principal Li of Hua University spoke simultaneously, “They may not know the results, but we do.”

Their synchronized proclamation stunned the room, and they exchanged wary glances before rushing toward Gu Zhaoming’s table, Principal Li even forgetting his walking stick in his haste.

Simultaneously, the principals of other renowned schools from the capital, seated at the main table, joined the fray, encircling Gu Zhaoming.

The guests watched in astonishment.

“What’s happening?”

“I’ve heard of universities vying for top students, but isn’t that usually handled by the admissions office? Why are the principals getting involved directly?”

“I didn’t see much reaction from the principals when Gu Shuxue scored 710 points. How well did the main family’s three children perform?”

Gu Yang and her siblings found themselves suddenly surrounded by the principals, feeling bewildered by the sudden attention.

With a smile, Principal Li of Hua University inquired, “Are you curious about your scores?”

Principal Huang of Capital University chimed in, “If you’re considering applying to Capital University, I can disclose your scores in advance.”

Principal Li adopted a serious expression. “Old Huang, don’t steal my thunder.”

Principal Huang chuckled in response.

The other principals echoed their colleagues’ sentiments, offering to reveal the scores in advance.

Amid the eager anticipation of the principals, Gu Yang hazarded a guess. “All 750?”

Observing the reactions of the principals, Gu Yang smiled. “Seems like I hit the mark.”

Principal Li couldn’t help but commend her. “Impressive, young lady. You exude confidence.”
