The next morning.

Although it was still early, a group of people had already gathered at the school gates of No. 1 high school.

Men and women of all ages held up their cell phones.

Chi Wei drank a cup of warm milk while her mother looked at her with concern in her eyes. She told Chi Wei several times, “Don’t be shy and try to get along with your classmates. If someone bullies you, you must report it to the teacher. If you are exhausted from studying, then lie down and sleep.”

Finally, Chi Wei carried a small fluffy pink school bag and exited the car.

Qiao Yuechu looked reluctantly from behind, as if she did not want to part with her daughter.

Right in front of Chi Wei was a huge banner.

[ Welcome to our school, student Chi! Your presence brings light to our humble abode ]

The words were written in white while the background was red. As the banner was hung right in the middle of the school gates, it was quite eye-catching. Anyone who passed by would stop and take a quick glance.

People began to talk.

“Who is Chi Wei?”

“She is a new student.”

“Why is her welcoming so grand? Is she a famous figure?”

“I think I know why. Everyone knows about our school’s prodigy, Chi Wan, right? I heard that Chi Wei is Chi Wan’s older sister who had been missing for many years. She lived in the countryside ever since she was young and was only found by the Chi family two days ago…”

“…”

Even Chi Wei, who had never been interested in gossiping, could not help herself but freeze in her steps. Her clear black and white eyes were filled with disdain.

She frowned slightly and hastened her steps. 

Chi Wei passed by the crowd and saw a man who was standing by the school gates. It was Chen Ming. He saw Chi Wei, who was about to enter the school and instantly forgot all his duties. Chen Ming grinned and immediately went after Chi Wei.

“Weiwei!”

“I almost thought that I was dreaming. Who knew you were so desperate for talents until you’re willing to disguise yourself as a student and come over personally to select potential apprentices!”

“I hope that the banner I’ve prepared is not too imposing?”

Chen Ming lowered his voice as he spoke. A hint of regret flashed across his old eyes.

The original content of the banner that he had prepared at the beginning was [ Welcome to our school, Professor Chi! Your presence brings light to our humble abode ]. Unexpectedly, Chi Wei came as a student instead. So, he changed “Professor Chi” to “student Chi.”.

There was a huge difference between the two words.

“Student Chi” was definitely not as imposing as “Professor Chi”!

Chi Wei was still trying to recover from the humiliation.

“…”

“Remove it immediately.”

“Huh???”

Chen Ming could clearly hear the contempt in the girl’s voice. He was stunned for a moment because he was actually expecting her to praise him.

“Is it not grand enough? Then… shall I decorate the border with some gold?”

“It’s not impossible to add diamonds into the words as well…”

“Eh, Weiwei…”

…

Five minutes later, Chi Wei arrived at the principal’s office under Chen Ming’s guidance. Her face showed no expression.

Along the way, Chen Ming had annoyed her countless times.

He did not expect that Chi Wei just wanted ordinary treatment!

All of her fame and achievements were displayed in the open.

Chi Wei only wanted to keep a low profile.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ming somewhat understood why Chi Wei was dissatisfied.

There were very few geniuses like her who had achieved so much at such a young age. If she stands out too much, she would attract the jealousy of others. Something bad or unexpected might happen to her.

Keeping a low profile was a good idea, so she could avoid being targeted by those who harbored evil intentions..
