Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 527

Chapter 527: Second Part Of the Competition Was A Blow To Their Pride

Shortly after Huo Yao put her pen down, she heard the invigilator coughing from overhead. She raised her head to look at him.

The invigilator coughed again before he walked over with his hands behind him slowly and reminded Huo Yao solemnly. “There’s still an hour left for the competition. Those of you who aren’t done have to watch the time. Those who are done should check your work carefully.”

The invigilator was the supervisor of the Math Department.

He knew that Huo Yao was the champion of the International Contest, so he wanted to find out how good she was in Math.

Would she perform unexpectedly like she did the last time?

Ever since the second half of the competition started, he would walk down from the podium every now and then to go over to Huo Yao. He was stunned after seeing the shocking speed at which she completed her work. However, he was worried that she was careless, so he reminded everyone to check their answers.

However, his reminder made most of the contestants feel anxious. After all, they were only halfway through when someone had finished the test paper.

That was simply shocking!

Although Huo Yao was confident of her answers, she did not cause a mass panic by submitting her script early. Instead, she lay prone on the desk until the time was up before she walked out of the exam hall.

After the second half of the contest ended, the contestants’ look of disappointment after attempting part A only intensified. 80% of the contestants had failed to finish it.

Huo Yao waited for Meng Ying at the banyan tree next to the track.

Her black jumper and torn jeans were paired with a long khaki jacket that accentuated her height. She placed her hands casually in her pockets and stood with her head lowered. She kept tapping her toes gently in a languid manner.

Yi Lianfan walked over to Huo Yao and did not notice anything different with her expression as he asked. “Waiting for someone?”

“Uh huh.” Huo Yao raised her head when she heard his voice. She took the initiative to ask him. “How did you fare?”

“Part A was okay, but I have never seen questions like those in Part B, so I might not do as well as I hoped,” said Yi Lianfan.

Although he did not expect to do as well, he was not disappointed. His performance probably would not be terrible.

Huo Yao nodded. “The paper was out of scope, so most people can’t expect to do well.”

Yi Lianfan glanced at her quietly. He did not think she was trying to console him.

“What about you? What do you think about the questions?”

Huo Yao shrugged as she said airily, “I don’t want to hurt your pride.”

Yi Lianfan was speechless. “…”

Thanks a lot there. She had already hurt his pride plenty.

“Bye.” Yi Lianfan felt somewhat stifled.

Huo Yao pulled her hand from her pocket and waved to him.

Meng Ying came walking over shortly after Yi Lianfan had left. She looked miserable and it was clear that she did not do well.

Huo Yao could not help laughing as she prodded her chubby cheeks. “Was the test a blow to your confidence?”

Meng Ying turned her head to dodge someone’s treacherous hands. “No one could’ve possibly done those questions in Part B. There were only four questions, but I didn’t do two of them. I just wrote two answers blindly.”

Huo Yao’s lips twitched. “I feel so bad for you.”

Meng Ying let out a long sigh.

She looked at Huo Yao and wanted to ask how she did. Considering what a prodigy Huo Yao was, she decided to keep her mouth shut.

If she asked, it would only hurt her own feelings.
