The Results Are Out, "Shi Shuo" Astonishes Everyone

After hearing Su Mianmian's thoughts, Jiang Che couldn't help but feel like laughing.

What a coincidence!

Now, he truly had the ability to help Su Mianmian transform.

Soon after, Jiang Che sent the formulas for both the [Permanent Transformation Pill] and the [Temporary Transformation Pill] to Leng Ningqiu.

Ingredients like thousand-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old polygonum multiflorum mentioned in the recipe sounded extremely hard to find. Such troublesome tasks were best left to his subordinates.

On the other side, Leng Ningqiu stared at the long list of medicinal ingredients on the recipe, lost in deep thought.

She had been swamped with work lately. Having just taken over Yuanche Pharmaceutical, the sheer volume of tasks was overwhelming. She had even delegated the management of Qiangsheng Group to one of her subordinates. Yet, despite all this, she still worked until the early hours of the morning.

"This little lord really treats me like a tool, huh~"

Leng Ningqiu sat in her office chair, gently massaging her temples with one hand.

Then she made a phone call.

"Hey, Lili, I have a task for you. Gather all these medicinal ingredients for me."

......

A few nights before the results were released, a piece of news quietly spread.

A student had actually scored a perfect mark in the essay section of the exam!

Of course, if it were just an ordinary perfect essay, many people might not have paid much attention. After all, with so many examinees in Dragon Country every year, there were bound to be a few who scored full marks in the Chinese essay section.

But the problem was... this essay was written in classical Chinese! That made it a huge deal!

Of course, this was just hearsay for now, as the grading process was strictly confidential. Nevertheless, the essay titled "On Teachers" had already caused a sensation in the classical Chinese academic circle.

Its impact was nothing short of explosive!

In the Chinese Department of Yan University, an elderly man with a gray beard was full of energy. "I've already managed to find out the identity of this student. We should go recruit him a day early. A talent like this must join our classical Chinese department."

"I really want to see for myself what kind of student could write such an essay... what kind of brilliance he possesses!"

A bespectacled doctoral student standing nearby was somewhat speechless. His teacher was a towering figure in the field of classical Chinese studies, but ever since reading "On Teachers" a few days ago, he had instantly turned into a fanboy.

But it had to be said, the impact of "On Teachers" was indeed terrifying. The examinee's understanding of classical Chinese parallel prose must have reached an incredibly profound level.

"He's an examinee from Hangcheng. Once the results are out tomorrow—no, actually, let's go to Hangcheng right now. I've managed to get his home address through some connections."

Another elderly man wearing reading glasses also smiled.

"Professors, what if this student is only skilled in classical Chinese and his other grades are poor?"

The elderly men burst into laughter.

"This examinee's abilities are truly formidable. He scored full marks in Chinese, and all his other subjects were perfect too. He's an all-around genius... If we don't act soon, we'll miss our chance."

"Even if his other grades were irredeemably bad, just this one essay, 'On Teachers,' would overshadow the achievements of millions of other examinees."

"And from what I've heard, several other universities are already preparing to compete for him."

Although the grading process was confidential, there were always some under-the-table operations. Before the results were officially released, some schools would get wind of the information and start recruiting students early.

This kind of thing was not uncommon.

......

By noon on the day the results were released, Jiang Che was still asleep!

Lying on his massive five-meter-long bed, the sheets were in complete disarray.

Fortunately, there were plenty of maids at home, and the bedsheets were changed almost every day.

"Jiang Che, Jiang Che, wake up... the results are about to come out."

Ye Mengyao had woken up early and was gently shaking Jiang Che's arm.

The faint fragrance of the young girl drifted into Jiang Che's nose, stirring his thoughts.

"What's coming out? Go back to sleep!"

Jiang Che's hand landed on Ye Mengyao's smooth thigh, leaving a faint red mark on her fair skin.

Ye Mengyao let out a soft cry, then glanced around the room. Everyone was still asleep.

Even Wan'er was sleeping soundly, though her sleeping posture was... 'elegant' to say the least. She was sprawled across the bed, with one little foot almost touching Jiang Che's face, nearly poking into his mouth.

Whatever, if everyone's still sleeping... I'll sleep too!

...

Jiang Che was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Master, there are many reporters and some people claiming to be from university admissions offices outside... They're here to see you."

A maid with a ponytail brought clothes to Jiang Che. Ever since he had these maids, Jiang Che didn't even need to dress himself anymore.

"Admissions offices?"

Yu Wan'er, who was half-asleep on the bed, rubbed her eyes, but soon all her drowsiness vanished.

"Ah... I forgot today's the day the results come out. Stupid Jiang Che... it's all your fault!"

The little girl quickly grabbed her phone to check her scores, but after entering her exam number, she was stunned.

She couldn't find her results?

"Jiang Che... what's going on? Why can't I find my scores?" Yu Wan'er was visibly anxious.

"You dummy, your results are probably hidden."

As everyone knew, there was a group of exceptionally high-achieving students whose results were temporarily hidden by the system when they were first released.

"Huh?"

Yu Wan'er looked a bit dazed, her hair messy, especially that one strand sticking up, swaying cutely.

The mystery was solved!

Including Jiang Che, Ye Mengyao, Qin Qiaoqiao, and Yu Wan'er—all four of them couldn't find their results.

"Jiang Che... I found mine. 665 points."

Bai Jie spoke with a hint of disappointment. She was genuinely disheartened.

They had all used the same... electronic pen, so why were Ye Mengyao and the others so much better?

"Hey... 665 is still pretty good," Jiang Che said gently, patting the girl's head.

Despite his words, Bai Jie still felt down, lowering her head and clutching the hem of her clothes tightly.

[Oh no, I'm going to embarrass Jiang Che.]

Meanwhile, a crowd had gathered outside the Jiang family villa, many of whom were representatives from top universities' admissions offices.

Their goal was simple: they were here for Jiang Che!

Jiang Che had been too absorbed in his comfortable life to realize that after the results were released, "On Teachers" had also been made public by the Dragon Country Education Bureau.

In just a few hours, it had caused a massive uproar across the internet in Dragon Country!

The topic skyrocketed to the top of all major short video platforms!
