CHAPTER 416: CHAPTER 416 I AM BEI MINGYUAN

After leaving the ox cart with a familiar face for safekeeping, Zhao Gang planned to ask where he could see the report card.

"No need to ask, the most bustling place in the commune today is where you check the results." The familiar person knew Zhao Gang was here to check the scores.

Honestly, who knows how many people came to check the results today, but there aren’t many who came with their entire family, so as they walked along, Zhao Gang and his group really drew a lot of attention.

"Cai Ming, you’re here." The person on the other side seemed genuinely uneasy upon seeing Cai Ming.

Cai Ming greeted the person and then hurriedly slipped in to check the scores, with Zhao Gang and Gong Tao following closely behind.

They had already discussed on the way there that the men would go in to check the scores while Zhan Jing and Cai Meina would watch the children.

With so many people coming and going today, what if there were some bad elements inside? If someone kidnapped the kids, there would be no time for tears.

Even though Wang Gang and Li Jing had been arrested, could there still be people outside who meant harm to them?

"Cai Ming, you’re ranked first in the city this time." The other person grabbed Cai Ming and congratulated him.

No matter what they were thinking, the scores were announced as they were.

Amazing, he actually got first in the city? Cai Ming was stunned. He knew he did well in the exam this time, but he never expected it to be this good.

"Am I really the top scorer?" My god, Cai Ming was really worried that the person was just joking with him.

If he had scored the highest in the commune, Cai Ming could believe it. Even in the county, it might be possible, but to become the highest in the city? That was something he couldn’t quite believe.

"Congratulations." At this moment, Wan Qiweng appeared and kept congratulating Cai Ming.

Cai Ming wouldn’t have believed it from others, but coming from Wan Qiweng, he absolutely did because she had no reason to deceive him. "How did you do?"

"Not bad, I should get into the university I applied to." Wan Qiweng was thrilled upon seeing the scores earlier because they far exceeded her expectations.

She knew she didn’t do poorly, but she never imagined the scores would be so high, leaving her in a daze even now.

"Sister Zhan, Brother Zhao, Sister Cai, Brother Gong, your scores aren’t bad either." Wan Qiweng took out the notebook in her hand and read out their scores.

"Although I don’t know your rankings, they shouldn’t be bad." Wan Qiweng assumed that the schools Zhao Gang and the others applied to shouldn’t be an issue.

Gong Ruini was already dizzy from Cai Ming’s stunning performance. My goodness, her uncle actually became the top scorer in the city. That’s unbelievably impressive.

It seems like her uncle getting into Shuimu University shouldn’t be a problem. Even if he doesn’t get into Shuimu University, he will still get into college. That’s great.

Of course, her parents’ scores weren’t bad either, although there’s a bit of a gap compared to Cai Ming’s scores. But that’s good; otherwise, if their scores were equally good, it would really make them stand out.

Yeah, it’s better to stay humble. One should be humble in life, but high-profile in actions, otherwise, people will completely look down on you.

Gong Ruini thought Zhao Gang and the others did well enough and wouldn’t stand out too much, completely unaware that those nearby checking scores knew Cai Ming’s identity and were looking at him with envy.

Their scores were just too good; how could it not make people jealous?

Now that they knew the scores, Cai Ming and his group quickly left, without any reason to linger as the stares from those around made them uncomfortable.

Of course, there were also more discontented and accusatory looks, primarily from educated youths studying at the Red Flag Brigade primary school review site.

Even though they didn’t voice it, Cai Ming knew what they were thinking, "I expect I’ll be scolded by many, they’ll think I’m a guy who keeps things to himself."

Cai Ming truly regretted it a bit; if he’d known he would perform this well, he shouldn’t have been so high-profile. He should have purposely made a few more mistakes.

"They can say whatever they want, as long as your scores are higher than theirs, they’ll keep grumbling." Wan Qiweng had been there early, so she heard a lot of dissatisfied remarks.

Wan Qiweng wanted to step out and ridicule them, but thinking about it, let it go. The results were already set, and there’s no need to bicker with these people, which would only make them prance around more.

Better to remain calm and not respond, just let them continue to bounce around, as no one will stand by them when things blow up.

Cai Ming understood this logic, but he still couldn’t adapt, "Seems like I’m not cut out to be a leader in the future." Cai Ming mocked himself a little.

Suddenly, Cai Ming’s self-deprecating words were overheard by passersby, who laughed unceremoniously, "Still dreaming of being a leader, you’ve got some audacity."

"Seriously thinks that getting a first place in exams means he can become a leader, what a bumpkin."

Gong Ruini got angry, "Why don’t you go ahead and get a first place yourself if you’re so capable."

"My uncle will definitely become a leader in the future." Hmph, what’s so hard about being a leader? If you’re not aiming to be a civil servant, becoming a leader really isn’t that difficult.

Especially since Cai Ming is among the first batch of college students, as long as he’s not a bookworm or extremely incompetent, won’t he still be able to become a leader in the future?

"Oh, this child has quite a sharp tongue." The person hadn’t expected Cai Ming to follow, and didn’t expect it to be a girl who stood out.

"Yes, I do have a sharp tongue. Some people just have bad intentions." Hmph, thinking that just because you didn’t finish your sentence, I don’t understand? You want to mock me for my sharp tongue, as if I’ll be unable to marry in the future. Really think I’m too dumb to catch the meaning in your words?

"You..." This girl was really hard to deal with.

"What about me? You’re an adult arguing with a child; you really are something." Hah, I’m a child; I have the privilege to be willful.

Seeing that people had gathered around, the person had no choice but to leave despite their dissatisfaction, not forgetting to give an angry glare at Cai Ming, "Hiding behind a child."

Is this what it means to be caught in the crossfire? Cai Ming innocently scratched his nose. Oh, why is it so hard to be humble, "Ni Zi, in the future, don’t bother with people like that, otherwise you won’t be able to handle it. You should just ignore it."

Oh dear, when her uncle does speak, it’s always incredibly sharp, "Okay, I got it."

Harsh, the person indicated they’ve noted someone like Cai Ming down. Originally just wanted to vent a little, because after all the effort put in, losing to such a background-less bumpkin makes one want to spit blood.

"I’m Bei Mingyuan, remember that." After saying this, the person left briskly, not bothering to see Cai Ming and his group’s reaction.
