This was said by a female teacher in her forties dressed with much experience. It seemed like she disliked Lu Mian.

Lu Mian was not angry, but Ding Cai was.

“Ms. Sun, please don’t interrupt me when I’m talking to my student.”

Who was she scolding?

He could teach his own students however he liked; it was not up to others to intervene.

The female teacher Sun Jiaying’s face froze. She was the physics department head and had brought up quite a few students with stellar results. She had seen a lot of stubborn rascals like Lu Mian, and they could not be saved.

She reminded Ding Cai kindly, but she was insulted in return.

“Mr. Ding, I’m only reminding you because you’re a young teacher. It’s not good if you’re so nice to certain students, and they would even think that you’re annoying. If you have so much time and effort, why don’t you think about the upcoming National Physics Competition.”

The smell of explosives permeated the office. The other teachers could not say much and hurriedly changed the topic.

“Speaking about the competition, I haven’t thought of who to send to compete.”

“Me too. My students are only good at certain subjects, and very few of them are good at physics. If they were to go, they’ll only come in last.”

Sun Jiaying smiled confidently. “I thought of this a long time ago and I decided on five students. All of them have hopes of going into the finals.”

“Ms. Sun, it seems like we can’t compete against you this year. Your students are really capable!”

“My students are pretty capable.” Sun Jiaying glanced at Ding Cai and Lu Mian from the corner of her eye. “However, we’re a grade-twelve group and we’re not too similar to you. Your emphasis is on participation, but we only fight to be champions. First place in the National Physics Competition can ensure that they directly enrol into university. They can choose whichever famous schools they like, like Kyoto University, Shanghai University and Qing University.”

It was every twelfth grader’s dream to enrol into university directly. One did not need to mention how impressive it would be if they were guaranteed a spot in university.

These competitions for the twelfth graders had become a very important thing for the school because of this.

Just as she was talking, someone knocked on the door.

Sun Jiaying smiled slightly and her tone was pleased and proud. “My students are here!”

As the door creaked open, the teachers in the office looked towards the entrance curiously.

All of them wanted to know who Ms. Sun’s five capable students were.

Lu Mian casually looked up and saw the outstanding Lu Xinnuan in the combination of four boys and one girl.

As the only girl among the five people, she was like the bright star in the night sky, as she walked in quietly in the centre position.

Her youthful ponytail behind her head swayed according to her movement.

One look at the long-haired Lu Xinnuan and the short-haired Lu Mian, they did not look too familiar. The main difference was that their aura was different, and no one would believe that they were twins.

Among those people, there was a boy with protruding height whom Lu Mian had met before – Su Jue.

Lu Xinnuan had the attitude of not acknowledging her family members outside, so she directly walked past her. Anyway, no one in school knew about their relationship except for Su Jue.

As for Su Jue, when he walked past Lu Mian, he coincidentally saw the book on the table and chuckled.

He felt that his grandfather thought too highly of Lu Mian. How could he say that the Su family could not match up to a girl who read such rubbish novels?

Did Grandpa forget that he was the one who used two hundred thousand to earn eleven million?

Besides, he might earn even more in the next few days.

This Lu Mian was nothing.

Ding Cai coughed lightly to attract Lu Mian’s attention. He consoled her in a low voice, “Don’t care about them. I’ll teach you and you’ll be even better than them.”

Lu Mian chuckled softly. Even though she looked very pretty, she was cold as well. Aristocratic children like her did not care about anything.

She was rebellious and cynical.

She said in a flippant tone, “Mr. Ding, you’re pretty confident.”

Ding Cai was stumped. “Even if you don’t have this skill, we should still crush them with our presence and aura, right?”

“Hm, makes sense.” Lu Mian touched her chin and nodded.

“Why don’t you consider my suggestion…?”
