Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 251

Chapter 251: Submitting The Script In Early

The Dean raised his head and followed the teacher’s gaze when he heard this and got a shock.

“This year’s questions are even trickier than last year’s. Does it mean… she gave up since she turned in her script an hour early?” said another teacher quizzically with the National Quiz Contest questions in his hand.

He did not consider the possibility that someone could complete the quiz within two hours.

“You can never be sure. Maybe she managed to finish all the questions.”

The look of sarcasm on that teacher’s face betrayed his spoken words. He was mocking Hua Yao.

Although the Dean had his attention on Huo Yao, he could hear what the teachers from the other schools said clearly.

The Dean turned his head back to glance at these people. Composing himself, he said frostily, “I have absolute faith that our Huo Yao completed all the questions.”

The teachers were stunned to see the Dean shedding his courteous attitude. After realizing they had misspoken, the teachers’ faces flushed in shame.

All the students participating in the nationals were elites from the best schools in their cities. Hence, the teachers who brought them here were naturally proud and did not want to yield to their competitors.

But…

No.1 Middle School was one of the top five middle schools in the country and had a long, glorious history.

Also, Huo Yao had ranked first in all previous rounds of the contest.

The Dean pursed his lips without saying a word. He took the bag containing the students’ mobiles and left the office.

Huo Yao was looking for the Dean when he came into her sight the moment she turned around.

The Dean walked over and asked her. “Huo Yao, did you finish early?”

“Uh huh.” Huo Yao nodded.

He cleared his throat and continued to quiz her. “The questions were so hard this time. How did you… manage to finish them so quickly?”

The Dean spoke in a soft voice. Despite the redundant question, he was dying to ask this.

“It was okay. They weren’t that hard.” Huo Yao raised her brow with sheer confidence.

Judging from the arrogance in her voice, she was clearly implying that the questions were a breeze for her.

A complicated expression arose on the Dean’s face. He had asked the Principal yesterday about Huo Yao’s chances of becoming the champion.

From the looks of things right now, he… did not know Huo Yao well enough to make that judgement himself.

Huo Yao paid no heed to the Dean’s weird expression. She quickly said, “I have a few things to do. Can I leave first?”

The Dean mulled over the issue of the students’ safety before he took out his phone.

“Let me crosscheck with the Principal.”

Although it was unnecessary to tell the Principal about such minor matters, he decided to check with him anyway since the Principal cared a lot about her.

The Principal was at the Biology Research Institute and was talking to someone when his phone rang. He saw the Dean’s name flashing on the screen and excused himself. Then he stood up and walked to the window and answered the phone.

“… Huo Yao handed her script in early? Sure. Just tell her to be careful and let her be,” said the Principal before hanging up.

30 seconds later, he suddenly realized something.

Didn’t she submit her answers too soon???
