“The person reading English on the podium is Cheng Ling, right?”
“Yeah, looks like it.”
“Although it’s a little blurred, isn’t it the same person?”
Someone even raised his phone to compare Cheng Ling in the video with the real Cheng Ling.
“But why is Cheng Ling reading English so well? Didn’t they say that her grades are very poor?”
“Yeah, how can she be so good at English when she does farming every day?”
As they discussed, they turned their attention to Cheng Ling.
After watching the video, Xie Wan pulled Cheng Xiao and asked, “What’s going on?!”
Cheng Xiao was extremely frustrated and quit the post.
“Don’t ask me! I don’t know either!”
Cheng Xiao felt that the duration of every second now was like a year. The clock ticked and finally pointed to the number eight.
However, the people around were still discussing the video of Cheng Ling reading in English. Cheng Xiao quickly nudged Xie Wan’s elbow.
Xie Wan quickly reacted and shouted, “It’s eight o’clock now. The name list for the physics competition is out.”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Therefore, everyone quickly exited from the post.
Sure enough, Yuya First High School timely posted an official post.
The title was ‘Yuya First High School list of selected students to compete in the Holy Land Physics Competition Cup this year’.
Old Master Cheng also stood up, wanting to celebrate this proud moment with his granddaughter.
At this time, someone suggested, “Tonight is Old Master Cheng’s birthday. He’s the most senior. Why don’t we let him read out the list for us?”
Everyone agreed. After all, the people on the list had nothing to do with them. It was better to go with the flow and let Old Master Cheng have his way.
So Old Master Cheng stood in the middle with the phone Cheng Xiao handed to him.
“I’m going in now!”
Everyone nodded excitedly.
Cheng Xiao stood next to Old Master Cheng, looking like she was going to receive the award anytime.
At this moment, everyone was surrounding Old Master Cheng and forming a circle. Cheng Ling and Old Master Ding’s table were completely isolated.
The whole place was very quiet as they were waiting for Old Master Cheng to read the name list.
Old Master Cheng clicked on it.
“Let’s look at the third place first!”
Yuya First High School had designed a ritualistic post for this. There were three envelopes and one had to click on each to know what was written inside.
Old Master Cheng clicked on the first envelope.
“Third place — Cheng Xiao.”
Old Master Cheng called Cheng Xiao’s name and glanced at Cheng Xiao.
Cheng Xiao could tell that he was not satisfied, nor was he proud.
In fact, even Cheng Xiao herself was not satisfied. She was ranked third?!
Looking around, besides Gu Nan, who else in the entire senior third year could be comparable to her in physics?
Even so, she still maintained a happy expression on the surface and pretended to be very excited.
The surrounding guests also had doubts about this ranking, but they also applauded.
“Xiao Xiao is amazing, she made it into the Holy Land Cup.”
“Yeah, she’s amazing!”
Then, Old Master Cheng continued to click on the second envelope.
“Second place — Gu Nan.”
“Oh, so it’s Gu Nan. He’s the handsome boy in his class. I heard from my daughter that he’s the most handsome student in Yuya First High School.”
Cheng Ling heard Ding Yu’s disdainful “Tsk”.
“That’s not right. I heard from my child that Gu Nan and Cheng Xiao are the best in physics. But both of them are only in second and third place. Then who’s in the first place?”
Lu Qi turned his head to look at Cheng Ling. She was still sitting there with a calm expression as if she hadn’t heard anything.
He also smiled. Cheng Ling was really good at disguising herself.
At this moment, Xie Ying also came over and sat beside Cheng Ling.
She was chatting with some old ladies just now, so she didn’t know what was happening in the banquet hall.
She only came over when Old Master Cheng read out the name list.
“Old Master Cheng, quickly see who’s in the first place. We’re all very curious!”
“Okay! I’m looking at it now!”
Old Master Cheng’s hand tapped into the last envelope. When the name appeared in front of him, he seemed to choke. He didn’t say anything and remained silent for a few seconds.
The guests couldn’t wait any longer.
“Who is it?! Old Master Cheng, tell us quickly.”
“This… this…”
Old Master Cheng pointed at the two words on the phone screen, but he couldn’t read them out.
Cheng Xiao saw this and quickly turned her head to look.
However, she was also shocked.
What was going on? Was there a problem with the system?
The guests were urging.
Old Master Cheng slowly read out those two words, “Cheng Ling.”
The noise on the stage was louder than ever.
“Cheng Ling? Which Cheng Ling?”
“Is there another Cheng Ling with the same name and surname in their grade?”
“Yeah, did the teacher wrongly mark the paper? Did he put the name at the last place in the first instead?”
