Big Shot's Reincarnation Sweeps the World - Chapter 379

Chapter 379: The Truth

“I’m sorry to announce this, Sheng Yang, but your answer is wrong,” the head of the organizers said with a straight face.

A miscalculation was a miscalculation. No matter how optimistic he was, it was useless.

Everyone was in an uproar. It started a sensation on Weibo as well.

The only team that chose an eight-star question got the answer wrong. There was no way to make up for it.

Someone on Lan Xiao’s side said, “Heh, I heard from Yan City High School that there’s a student saying that this Goddess of Studies has a motto. When it comes to answering questions, she either doesn’t know how to do it or if she does, she wouldn’t be wrong. But from the looks of it, she’s nothing much. She’s just good at the subjects that are purely for exams. This question is rather difficult involving business, mathematics, finance, and so on. She didn’t grow up in an environment like ours. How could she get it right?”

Lan Xiao did not speak. He stared intently at Gong Sheng, who was opposite him. Gong Sheng seemed to be trying to verify something. He held a pen and paper and was doing calculations according to the question. He had also been doing the math for a few minutes. He had written so much but he was not even halfway done with the calculations.

Even Gong Sheng was struggling, so how could this girl get the answer so easily? Was she wrong? Yes, she was definitely wrong!

It would be impossible for such a fantastical thing to happen. Even Gong Sheng had to fill in a few pages of paper with numbers. What right did she have to get the correct answer?

“It’s okay if you’re wrong, it’s okay.” Fang Duo was afraid that Yangyang would be too stubborn and couldn’t take it, so she comforted her softly.

Sheng Yang acted as though she didn’t hear her. She smiled and looked at the organizers. “What’s the correct answer, then? Please enlighten me.”

The organizers were stunned, not expecting her to ask such a question.

“This…”

Lan Xiao swaggered up to him. “Sheng Yang, a wrong answer is a wrong answer. Just give it up. I advise you not to waste the organizers and everyone else’s time.”

“That’s right, that’s right…” Those who echoed Lan Xiao’s words weren’t the people who got the questions right previously but those who got the questions wrong. They didn’t have the courage to raise the question that Sheng Yang had just asked during their turns, so they couldn’t bear to see Sheng Yang do it. Otherwise, they would feel regretful.

Fang Duo chimed in from the side, “Our teachers taught us to be diligent in our studies and do our best to solve questions. Can’t you let us know where we got it wrong?”

These words didn’t sound wrong. There were many targeting Sheng Yang, but there were also many supporting her on Weibo.

[That’s right, I support Miss Sheng.]

[That’s right, we have to let her be eliminated without regrets.]

[I finally know why my grades aren’t good. Miss Sheng is so studious, so why can’t the organizers let her know where she got it wrong?]

Under the pressure, the organizers had no choice but to find the question setter to handle the situation. The question setter was a veteran in the business war and had participated several times. He was considered a mobile question bank.

Someone said that if it weren’t for the fact that the question setter wasn’t qualified to participate in the business war, he would definitely be the champion.

The “smart” 40-something-year-old question setter came to the scene and gave Sheng Yang a meaningful look.

Sheng Yang was expressionless.

The question setter began to talk about this question. His calculation process was projected on the big screen. He finished the calculation very quickly.

Some of the smarter ones could understand and keep up with his pace.

The others were confused, but they didn’t care.

They just thought that this answer seemed to be able to make Sheng Yang, a student with a strong desire for knowledge, lose completely.

Gong Sheng finally reached the last step and was almost done. He raised his head and looked at Sheng Yang in surprise, his expression complicated.
