The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise Novel - Chapter 397
Chapter 397: Ye Jiu: Come On, Call Daddy!
Wu Zhiheng’s questions sounded complex, but for someone like Fu Zhi who was the teacher for the researchers in the research institute, it was like asking her what was the answer of “1+1”.
“The former is 3 grams, while the latter is 2.6 grams,” Fu Zhi replied. Then, something suddenly popped into her head and she looked at Wu Zhiheng. “So is this the toughest question from your school?”
Wu Zhiheng was stumped.
He felt insulted.
Wu Zhiheng’s reaction was something the students from No.1 High School had not expected.
His silence could only mean one thing: Fu Zhi’s answer was correct!
“I haven’t even taken my paper and pen out yet…”
“Well, I guess even the patient didn’t expect anyone to figure out so quickly how much medicine he could take to keep him alive.”
“Stop embarrassing yourself, Hang Yuan. Sister Zhi is the best!”
Wu Zhiheng’s face was red with anger. He knew Fu Zhi’s answer was correct, but he could not bring himself to say that she guessed the answer correctly by luck. After a short while of rumination, he said, “It’s just a Chemistry question. The students from our school can answer it as fast as you as well! Answer another math question if you can!”
Fu Zhi looked at him as if she was looking at an idiot and nodded.
“It’s given that the height of a regular tetrahedron S-ABC is 3, and the base length is 6. A vertical line is drawn from point A to the side SBC, then from point P… Find the area of the cross section…”
“Square root of 3,” Fu Zhi gave the answer before Wu Zhiheng could finish the question. Her thinking ability was far better than anyone, so she did not need much effort and she could work out the answer for the question in her brain.
‘She got it right again!’
Wu Zhiheng refused to believe it. “This is impossible. I would need at least 30 minutes to finish the questions, not to mention that I haven’t even shown you the diagram yet. You must have seen the question before, that’s why you can give the answer so soon!”
Ma Mingquan chuckled and said, “I thought you said nobody has access to the question other than the top students from your school?”
Wu Zhiheng replied, “She knew we’re coming to No.1 High School for an exchange meeting, so she colluded with one of our top students to get her hands on our test paper questions!”
‘Is he high or something? How is there any possibility Fu Zhi would know what kind of question he would ask?’ Ma Mingquan could not help himself and rolled his eyes at Wu Zhiheng.
As for Fu Zhi, she did not care about his attitude at all. She just looked at him calmly and said in an indifferent voice, “This is such an easy question, and I’m sure anyone with a functioning brain would be able to come up with a correct answer without any problem. Unless you don’t have a brain?”
“You!” Wu Zhiheng’s face turned pale with anger.
‘How dare she say I don’t have a brain!’
Amongst the crowd, Mu Chenxi failed to come up with a correct answer as well, and her face was ugly.
‘Isn’t it normal that an ordinary person is not able to do such advanced math problems? Anyone with a functioning brain is able to answer the question? Who the hell does she think she is to make such a bold statement?’
“She could’ve just ended this stupid farce herself, why must she bring all of us in it?” Mu Chenxi mumbled to her friend.
“But…” Her friend seemed to not agree with her. She hemmed and hawed for a long while before hesitantly saying, “She’s talking about Hang Yuan…”
After all, considering Hang Yuan’s attitude, No.1 High School would not be able to get it back at them if Fu Zhi did not behave more aggressively.
Mu Chenxi was stunned, or she did not expect her friend to say this and she felt betrayed.
After a short while, she shook her head and said, “Just you wait. Once the representatives from Hang Yuan regain their composure, it would be Fu Zhi’s turn to get roasted.”
Just as she expected, after Wu Zhiheng regained his composure, he said, “Fine, fine, fine! If all the students from No.1 High School are so great just like you claimed, and they all can answer our test paper questions without any problem, then I challenge you to let one of your friends have a contest with me!”
“Sure, just name a student yourself.”
Wu Zhiheng knew he could not pick either Lu Yubai or Zhou Zihuai. He was certain that they were pretty good as well since they could become the representatives to participate in the exchange meeting.
As for Lu Yumo… Well, he was definitely not in his options. After all, winning a low-achieving student would not be able to prove anything.
Wu Zhiheng scanned across the crowd, and every student who met his gaze lowered their head. Then, he pointed at the young man beside Fu Zhi and said, “I choose you, then!”
Ye Jiu was stunned. He pointed to himself and asked, “Me?”
“Yes, you. What? Are you not up for the challenge?”
“It’s fine for me. After all, you’re the boss.”
However, Ma Mingquan chimed in, “He’s just transferred into our school not long ago. He hasn’t been to any school before!”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Ma,” Ye Jiu said, comforting Ma Mingquan, “I assure you I won’t let you down.”
After that, he turned back to Wu Zhiheng and continued, “You lost to Fu Zhi, so you have to put the photo back on the bulletin board for her. If you lose to me, you have to call me daddy.”
Wu Zhiheng was speechless. He did not want to, but his current situation did not permit him to back away now. As such, he gritted his teeth and replied, “Deal!”
“Let’s start with the easy one. How much is 689,321,566 plus 456,389,723? I will give you three seconds to answer!”
“Holy! What the hell was that?”
“I didn’t catch it either. How can he be so mean to someone who has never been to a school before?”
“That’s right! He’s so mean!”
Below the stage, everybody shouted and screamed.
On the stage, Ye Jiu pressed his lips thin and said, “I guess you must have a misconception about someone who’s graced by the goddess of luck.”
Wu Zhiheng was stunned.
“The answer is 1,145,711,289,” he said. Ye Jiu had been a lucky guy since he was a kid. Whenever there was an examination in the research institute, the person who got the perfect score would definitely not be Fu Zhi but Ye Jiu.
He did not even need to study. The test paper would appear in his dream three days before the examination, and even if he could not remember his dream, he would still be able to get the answer correctly.
Lu Yumo hastily opened up the calculator on his phone. “Look at it yourself. He got the answer correct.”
Wu Zhiheng knew Ye Jiu had gotten the answer correctly without Lu Yumo, for his sister, Wu Zhiyou was nodding at him not far away.
“Alright, then! Next question!” Wu Zhiheng said, “How much is 135,689 times 256,894?”
“I’m sorry,” Ye Jiu smiled. He put his arm on Fu Zhi’s shoulder before continuing, “If you want me to answer that question, then you will have to call me daddy twice. Is that okay with you?”
Wu Zhiheng was bereft of speech. Just when he was about to say something, a teacher from Hang Yuan went forward and stopped him as he did not want him to bring any more disgrace to them.
Then, he turned to Fu Zhi and said, “Alright, we admit that every student in No.1 High School is excellent, and we apologize for the wrong Chemistry questions as well, so let’s rest the matter here, okay?”
Fu Zhi indeed was one of a kind, but Ye Jiu was normal. He did not see any need to continue the match, as the match did not seem to be getting anywhere.
Ye Jiu handed Fu Zhi’s photo over to Wu Zhiheng.
No matter how reluctant Wu Zhiheng was, there was nothing he could do. As such, he could only take the photo from Ye Jiu and put it back on the bulletin board with glue borrowed from his friend.
Then, just as he was about to go back to his seat, Ye Jiu stopped him and said with a grin, “Hey dude, it’s fine if you’re stupid, but you must not be an uncultivated person. Have you forgotten what you’ve promised me?”
“The reason you can answer those questions is that I made it easy for you. I’m from the Wu Family in the capital, and I suggest you don’t burn your bridges. Life is full of uncertainties. You might not know what would befall you when you walk out of this school!” Wu Zhiheng said coldly.
“Well, it’s your choice to go easy on me, but a promise is a promise. I like to burn my bridges, and I don’t want to see someone like you ever again in the future. Therefore, I suggest you fulfill your promise, or you might not be able to walk out of this school today!”
“Don’t you dare talk to me like that, you imbecile!” Wu Zhiheng snarled. He was the young master of the Wu Family, and nobody had ever talked to him like this before.
Ye Jiu let out a cold sneer, “This is the price you should pay for peeling my sister’s photo off the bulletin board.”
‘If it were not for Fu Zhi, do you think you can still stand here and talk to me?’
“Wu Zhiheng, just like Ye Jiu said, a promise is a promise. Don’t waste our time anymore, and fulfill your promise. Or else, we won’t let you walk out of our school today!” A student stood up and said.
Wu Zhiheng wished to run away now. He turned his head around, and he saw the teachers from No.1 High School had surrounded him, their heads raised high to admire the blueish-green ceiling.
He could not run away now.
“… Daddy,” Wu Zhiheng said, his voice fine as a mosquito. However, at the moment he opened his mouth, Ye Jiu had put a microphone next to his lips.
The gymnasium was scientifically built to allow voices to travel across a long distance. As such, Wu Zhiheng’s voice was magnified by the microphone and permeated into every inch in the spacious gymnasium.
Ye Jiu took the microphone back and said, his voice laced with glee, “Yes, my good son. Daddy is here!”
Ma Mingquan spewed out a mouthful of tea. He hastily apologized when he saw Wu Zhiheng’s eyes seemed to be spewing fire. “I’m sorry. I’m a professional teacher, and I won’t be like this if it’s not too funny…”
After they had done their work here, Fu Zhi waved her hand at Director Liu and said, “My brother is sick, so I’ve to bring him to the infirmary now!”
Director Liu, who was in seventh heaven, waved his hand and said, “Okay! Give me a call if you need anything.”
Fu Zhi and Ye Jiu hopped out of the gymnasium holding hands.
The rest of the students looked at both of them admiringly, especially Fu Zhi.
She was a monster.
They were certain that when God was spraying wisdom to earth, Fu Zhi and her brother were the only ones who did not hold an umbrella.
Compared to No.1 High School, the representatives of Hang Yuan were feeling mildly despondent. The silver lining was that Nian Feiyuan had seen many before. A situation like this was just a small case for him. After all, the exchange meeting would last for half a month, so he was confident that they would be able to get it back at No.1 High School eventually.
He patted Wu Zhiheng’s shoulder, picked up a microphone, and said, “Ha ha ha, what an exciting match! Director Liu, your students have done a great job!”
Just when Director Liu was about to say something in return, Ma Mingquan kicked his leg. Director Liu stroked his bald head and said, “Well, thank you for your compliment. My students are really great!”
Nian Feiyuan was stunned. He thought Director Liu was going to praise his students back. However, he soon regained himself and said, “Of course, my students have done a great job too!”
Director Liu said, “Haha.”
Looking at Nian Feiyuan’s face, Director Liu cleared his throat and continued, “Keep it going.”
Nian Feiyuan took a deep breath and continued, “Other than coming for the exchange meeting, we also have prepared a small gift for every student in No.1 High School.”
He clapped his hand, and the 20 students from Hang Yuan pulled 5 copies of Red Sun from their bags respectively.
These books did not have Pure Feather’s signature nor her message. They were just ordinary copies of Red Sun, but there were a hundred of them.
A round of whispering erupted from the students below the stage.
Whipping up a confident grin, Nian Feiyuan continued, “I guess all of you have already heard about the announcement from the government, so I’m not going to repeat it again. Right now, the book “Red Sun” is sold out everywhere. These 500 copies of Red Sun are bought by Ms. Ouyang Ya out of her own pocket.”
After that, Nian Feiyuan looked towards Ouyang Ya.
Ouyang Ya smiled faintly and said, “This is nothing. Since we’re coming for an exchange meeting, we figure that we cannot come empty-handed. Consider these 500 copies of Red Sun a little something from me.”
Ouyang Ya finally found a chance to redeem herself, and she had returned to her usual calm and elegant self.
However, she sounded arrogant in No.1 High School’s students’ ears and they were infuriated.
“Erm,” Ma Mingquan chimed in, “Thank you for your kindness, but it’s fine. You can keep those copies for yourself.”
Ouyang Ya frowned. “What do you mean by that? Are you not going to take these books?”
