They directly produced a national top scorer in the college entrance exam, and No. 1 High School even wanted to hold a speech event. Professors from Tsinghua University and Nanjing University were also coming.

Yan Tong was now in a difficult position.

He really didn’t want to go to the speech event and make an appearance. This wasn’t about showing off, but about facing a death sentence. Especially when he had to deal with two professors who had specially come over.

Although Yan Tong had always been confident, he was aware of his own abilities. He could socialize with people, but being with these intellectual professors was like surviving in hell mode.

Yan Tong felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart, but he couldn’t refuse.

When Fang Yandong returned and heard the news, his legs went weak, and he sat on the sofa with a blank mind. Even someone as smart as him couldn’t remain calm now.

But since things had come to this point, they could only move forward on this path.

“Go, you can’t refuse this speech event. I’ll have Sun Zhi prepare the answers from the ‘Liu Jia’ paper for you. Prepare a draft before the speech, and then see how things go and try to fool the professors…”

Fang Yandong contemplated for a long time before finally speaking.

Yan Tong was somewhat worried, with a hesitant expression on his face.

Fang Qianhao was also anxious, “Dad, can this work? The professors from Tsinghua University and Nanjing University will be there…”

Could professors from prestigious universities be so easily fooled?

“What else can we do?” Fang Yandong’s face turned cold. “Since things have come to this point, we can only go forward with a stiff upper lip. Besides, Liu Jia isn’t a student from No. 1 High School. It’s impossible for him to attend the speech event and discover anything on the spot.”

Indeed, that was the rationale, or so they said.

But… both Yan Tong and Fang Qianhao had a bad premonition.

However, now that they had no other choice but to move forward with a stiff upper lip, they had to attend the school’s speech event, and they had to accept the title of top scorer in the college entrance exam.

Yan Tong had no other option.

He could only go back to his room to prepare his speech.

After the others left, Fang Yandong sat in the villa’s living room for a long time, his face constantly changing. In the end, he seemed to have made a certain decision.

He left the living room and went to the garden, dialing Sun Zhi’s number.

“Hello, Sun Zhi. Listen to me now. It seems that there might be a problem with swapping the scores. If the truth is revealed, cooperate actively with the investigation and admit your guilt…”

“What? Fang Yandong, are you asking me to take the blame for everything?”

“No, even if you take the blame for everything, you won’t be able to handle it all. Blame everything on Fang Qianhao. This was originally caused by him insisting on it. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have gotten involved in Yan Tong’s matters. He is the mastermind, and you are an accomplice… I will give you a sum of money that will ensure your future after you get out. I will also take care of your wife and children.”

“Fang Yandong, that’s your own son. Are you really willing?”

“He’s a despicable creature, a brainless idiot. If it wasn’t for him and his mother, would I be in this situation? Treating a disaster as a treasure, inviting a wolf into the house. If this idiot keeps going, he will eventually kill me.”

Fang Yandong’s voice was filled with intense hatred.

“Sun Zhi, think carefully. If you expose me and we both end up in ruins, what will you face when you come out of prison?”

What would he face?

Of course, it means being completely destitute and impoverished.

If Fang Yandong didn’t get involved, he could have received hush money.

After a moment of silence, a desolate voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Fine…”

…

Since they couldn’t refuse, the speech event for the top scorer in the college entrance exam at No. 1 High School proceeded smoothly.

Although No. 1 High School had always claimed to be the best high school in Jiang City, the title of “best” was occasionally contested. The competition for this title was fierce among schools.

In the past, No. 1 High School had produced top scorers in the college entrance exam, but they were mostly within the province. After all, while Jiang City was considered a quasi-first-tier city, it lacked many resources compared to truly first-tier cities. In the past, No. 1 High School couldn’t claim the position of national top scorer.

However, the school principal of No. 1 High School didn’t expect that this time they would have a dark horse in the college entrance exam.

Considering that this year’s exam questions were significantly more difficult than in previous years, with many students not performing as expected, their school unexpectedly produced a national top scorer with 744 points. It was as surprising as a pie falling from the sky!

Although they later discovered that Yan Tong, who was involved in the previous controversy at the school, was the one behind it, their emotions were complicated. However, their joy overshadowed any previous dissatisfaction. Having the title of national top scorer brought significant prestige to No. 1 High School.

Therefore, when the professors from Tsinghua University and Nanjing University called to inquire about “Liu Jia,” the principal made a resolute decision to organize a speech event for Yan Tong!

On the day of the speech event, besides the school’s students, leaders from other schools and journalists were also invited, ensuring that No. 1 High School would gain some positive publicity.

When Fang Ziyang heard the news about No. 1 High School organizing a speech event, he laughed at home.

He was just thinking about how to surprise Yan Tong, but unexpectedly, No. 1 High School provided him with an opportunity. Although his classmates didn’t inform him, it didn’t mean he couldn’t proactively return to the school. After all, he was still a student of No. 1 High School. Why couldn’t he visit his alma mater? Why couldn’t he attend the speech of the top scorer in his own grade?

In any case, on the day of the speech event, Fang Ziyang made a very high-profile appearance at No. 1 High School.

The teachers and students of the school had complex expressions when they saw him. Originally, they should have sympathized with Fang Ziyang, but because of his confrontational behavior during the livestream, the school’s reputation had also been greatly affected.

Until now, whenever the past was mentioned, everyone would look down on No. 1 High School, saying that their school harbored dirt and criticized their students, lacking friendliness… and so on. So, even though they knew about Fang Ziyang’s ordeal, the teachers and students had a lot of hidden complaints towards him and couldn’t show a smile on their faces.

When everyone saw Fang Ziyang, they started whispering and pointing discreetly.

But Fang Ziyang didn’t care about their reactions.

Hadn’t he been criticized before in his previous life? People had even thrown things at him when he went out. Whether it was in his previous life or this life, he wasn’t close to the teachers and students of No. 1 High School. During his three years of high school, there were plenty of rumors about him in the school.

The teachers and students didn’t come to greet Fang Ziyang, keeping their distance and showing ambiguous expressions.

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

However, it was different for the journalists present. When they saw Fang Ziyang, their eyes lit up as if they had seen a wealthy benefactor. Each and every one of them became spirited.

Although this description might sound exaggerated, it was true!

Fang Ziyang’s name now carried a lot of attention, especially since his high school entrance exam score was also remarkable: 712 points. This was unexpected by everyone outside.

Wasn’t he supposed to be a waste and a poor student? How could 712 points be considered poor? It was a joke.

In fact, the reason the journalists came today, besides interviewing the top scorer, was for Fang Ziyang himself. After all, he had gone from a student who couldn’t even pass to scoring such a high mark. This contrast was more eye-catching than the title of national top scorer.

“Fang Ziyang, may I ask you a question? We understand that your academic performance was not good on a regular basis, and you barely passed in the school’s mock exams during your three years of high school. But in this college entrance exam, you scored 712 points. Can you tell us why?”

“Or perhaps, did you use some magical study method during your preparation…”

The reporters’ questions were tactful, but the implications were sharp.

It was as if they were directly asking, “Mr. Fang, did you cheat to achieve such a huge difference? Otherwise, how can it be so terrifying?”

Although it was somewhat offensive, they did have some valid reasons to suspect.

Fang Ziyang was prepared and not afraid, especially since his scores were a result of his actual abilities. Even though he had the advantage of reincarnation, he had also put in sweat and hard work during this period of review.

He smiled faintly, nonchalantly saying: “A magical study method? No, how could there be a short-term method to transform a poor student into an outstanding one? Unless I daydreamed, or maybe this poor student was actually outstanding.”

The reporters became energized upon hearing his words. “So, Mr. Fang, are you saying that you were originally an outstanding student?”

“Of course. Failing previous exams was just because I didn’t want to take them. After all… you all know about my dad, who spoils me. I didn’t even know what good studying was useful for.”

Fang Ziyang spread his hands helplessly, his speech as provoking as ever.

Everyone truly wanted to hit him.

Then Fang Ziyang continued: “I know you may have doubts about my scores, but it’s okay. It’s human nature. The truth will prove everything.”

“Here’s the deal, to avoid getting scolded, let me demonstrate right now. You should all be familiar with this year’s perfect score essay in the college entrance exam, right? One of them, ‘Tomorrow,’ is actually my Chinese essay. In the essay, I wrote that tomorrow, I predict that Country M will be engulfed in an economic storm…”

“Actually, this essay is not complete. Due to the word limit, it had to be abbreviated. But the conclusion states that my statement is not baseless speculation; the conclusion is based on mathematical data.”

“If you’re interested, you can wait and see. Based on my analysis and data predictions, I predict that Country M will indeed face an economic storm… It should happen within half a year.”

With that said, Fang Ziyang smiled brightly. “From now on, you can call me the Prophet.”

Then he turned and headed towards the school auditorium.

The journalists stood there dumbfounded for a full minute before excitedly grabbing their recording pens and jotting down this moment.

This was a breaking point, a highlight of the day! Fang Ziyang truly was a “giant” in terms of popularity!

Afterwards, the journalists started interviewing the students and teachers of No. 1 High School, trying to find out more about Fang Ziyang at the school. As for Yan Tong, the top scorer in the college entrance exam… well, let’s talk about that later. Right now, the focus was on the buzz.

The teachers and students of the school didn’t have a good expression on their faces. Seeing Fang Ziyang on TV was not a pleasant feeling for them.

However, they couldn’t openly make up stories to respond to the journalists’ questions; they could only answer honestly.

Thus, the news about Fang Ziyang’s remarkable progress in his academic performance, his consistently scoring above 700 in dozens of mock exams before the college entrance exam, quickly spread throughout the school. This thoroughly confirmed Fang Ziyang’s statement about being a poor student only because he didn’t want to study.

Fang Ziyang didn’t stay with the journalists for too long. He quickly dispelled the suspicion of cheating and hurriedly entered the school auditorium to prepare for his speech.

Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu also returned to school today.
