Call Me Ancestor

Gu Qingqing went straight to the academic affairs office.

Two head teachers were arguing with Director Pan.

Liu Ya, the head teacher of Class One, was so angry that her face turned green. "Director Pan, you want her to join Class One? Our Class One is full of top students, all potential candidates for prestigious universities. She ranked last in the entrance exam and cheated on the monthly test. What if she ruins the atmosphere in Class One? Absolutely not!"

If they accepted Gu Qingqing, how much would it drag down the average score of Class One? What hope would there be for her outstanding teachers?

Class Three's head teacher, Huang Guangyao, gloated, "Ms. Liu, you are an outstanding teacher in the province. Only you can handle such students. Don't be modest!"

Liu Ya exploded, "Huang Guangyao, why don't you take her in your class?"

Huang Guangyao shrugged, "Isn't it because the Mu family looks down on our Class Three? Even if I want to keep her, I can't!"

The two teachers were passing the buck, pretending to be noble and righteous.

Director Pan, with a headache, scratched his bald head. "Qingqing, which class do you want to join?"

Liu Ya and Huang Guangyao seemed to have just noticed that the person they were discussing was right in front of them.

Gu Qingqing replied, "I didn't cheat."

"Even if you didn't cheat, how could you score better than Mu Xueqing?"

Liu Ya was so angry that she almost laughed. Her star student was surpassed by someone who resorted to such despicable means. Who could tolerant it?

"If you didn't cheat, at least make some mistakes. This was the hardest math test; even I, as a math teacher, wouldn't be able to get full marks. Why should you? With your level, do you still need to go to school?"

Huang Guangyao, unusually, agreed with Liu Ya. He said with emphasis, "Qingqing, with the Mu family backing you, cheating is not a big deal. You're being stubborn, which hinders the harmonious development of the school. If you admit it, everyone will still think you're honest and cute. Why bother being so defiant and making people dislike you?"

"I didn't cheat!" The air suddenly cooled by a few degrees.

Liu Ya shivered, and Huang Guangyao rubbed his arms.

"Okay, okay, suit yourself! Director Pan, since this student is no longer in our class, I'll leave!" Huang Guangyao, who feared trouble the most, left in a hurry.

Director Pan wiped his sweat. "Qingqing..."

"I didn't cheat!"

"I didn't say you cheated." Director Pan also shivered.

"If you don't believe me, let's have a competition. Let's see who can answer faster." Gu Qingqing pointed to Liu Ya. "Let's compete!"

"Qingqing, have you lost your mind?" Liu Ya was genuinely furious this time.

"Ms. Liu, are you afraid?"

"Fine! Don't regret it! If you lose, get out of the No. 1 High School!"

"What if you lose?"

"If I lose, I'll call you ancestor!"

"Agreed!"

Liu Ya: ...

There were two sets of math problems, personally selected by Director Pan from the question bank, and according to Liu Ya's suggestion, they were specifically the hardest ones.

"Ms. Liu, as a teacher, aren't you bullying the student a bit?"

"She thinks she can get full marks, doesn't she? Does Director Pan want to shield her?"

Director Pan: ...

Turning to Gu Qingqing, Director Pan said, "Qingqing..."

"Does Director Pan want to shield her?"

Fine, let her do as she pleases.

Ten extremely difficult questions, all unseen before, were given with only half an hour to complete.

As the most formidable math teacher in the No. 1 High School, rated as an outstanding teacher in the city multiple times and even as a provincial outstanding teacher once, Liu Ya had done every problem in the question bank. But the result? She had never seen the first question before.

Her momentum suddenly diminished by half. She glanced at Gu Qingqing, who didn't even ask for a scratch paper, but answered directly on the test paper.

Humph, putting on a show!

Ten minutes later, Liu Ya finally solved the first question, looked up satisfactorily, and glanced at Gu Qingqing again.

Gu Qingqing put down her pen. "I'm done."

Liu Ya sneered, "Qingqing, what we're comparing is accuracy, not just speed." Are you trying to play word games with me? Nowadays, students don't learn all the good things; they also learn some bad ones.

Gu Qingqing ignored her and handed the paper to Director Pan.

Liu Ya didn't believe that Gu Qingqing could answer a question correctly in ten minutes. She stopped asking her own questions and leaned over. But what she saw wasn't just one question; it was ten.

Apart from the solutions being more concise, the answers were exactly the same as the original ones.

"It's impossible!"

"Director Pan, did you give her the answers?"

"Did you two arrange this in advance?"

"Director Pan, you have disappointed me!"

Director Pan was furious. "I randomly selected questions from the question bank. How could I help her cheat?"

"You wealthy and influential people must have methods that we ordinary folks don't! Even if you brought a university professor here, it wouldn't be possible to answer all questions correctly in ten minutes without prior arrangement!"

"For heaven's sake..." Director Pan was so angry that he cursed.

Feeling unfairly accused of cheating was too damn frustrating. He turned to Gu Qingqing, who remained calm.

"Did you help me?"

Director Pan replied, "No, I didn't."

"Then why are you being a coward?"

Director Pan: ...

He turned to Liu Ya. "Call me ancestor."

Liu Ya: ...

She had been a teacher for over a decade, and this was the first time she had been insulted like this. Her eyes turned red, and she stormed out of the office.

Director Pan's face reddened a bit.

"Qingqing, I'm also curious. How did you do it?"

Gu Qingqing glanced at him coldly. "By using... fortune-telling."

Okay, pretend I didn't ask.

"But now, neither Class Three nor Class One wants you. Which class do you want to join?"

"The Mu family said you would arrange it for me."

Is this how you work for the three-million sponsor? Director Pan: ...

Having the means doesn't mean you should use them like this!
