146 Scheming Feng Ya
The room was designed like a small conference hall with a projector screen on the wall while behind the table, the chairs were arranged.
This way, anyone that entered the room from the front door in a way had access to everyone there and since Rong Yue was flagged by Wu Hao and teacher Lu, Wu Da who was naturally the type to look around exclaimed in surprise.
“Ah!”
Everyone, including Feng Ya, looked at him and traced his gaze to Rong Yue.
The ones that were already in the room chuckled silently and Wu Hao that had been waiting for such a scene since the other day was even more excited.
On the other hand, Feng Ya’s face darkened as she saw Rong Yue, her hands clenching into fists.
“Who is this?” She asked, losing composure. Rong Yue on the other hand finally noticed the air in the room had changed and looked in her direction.
“She’s one of the participants too,” Wu Hao told Rong Yue silently and she nodded in understanding.
It didn’t take her long to know the type of person that this ‘participant’ was, and she also didn’t need a soothsayer to tell her that they wouldn’t get along so instead of stressing her mind, Rong Yue simply looked away, not minding the both of them.
.....
Feng Ya was even more infuriated by the dismissal that she had gotten from Rong Yue as her small face twisted with darkness, surprising Zi Dao and the government representative.
However, she was able to control herself quickly enough and walked up to Rong Yue with her hand stretched out for a handshake.
“Hello, I’m Feng Ya, we didn’t get the chance to meet yesterday,”
“I’m Rong Yue. Nice to meet you,” Rong Yue took her hand, shaking only the tip before letting go and then greeting Wu Dao that also introduced himself.
Just yesterday, he had said it was impossible for the girl to be as beautiful as Feng Ya, however, he had gotten his face slapped pretty quickly as this girl was a lot more attractive than that.
The room regained its normalcy as soon as the just-arrived pair sat down back.
The United States representative also arrived a little while after that and the purpose of their meeting started very quickly.
Unlike Chinese people, he was a lot more open-minded and praised the looks of the two ladies in the room, while also guiding them.
From the behavior expectations to the sets of testing that would be presented to the students, he did his best to prepare their minds using close to two hours.
Rong Yue listened carefully, understanding the exam more from his explanations, and even though she didn’t yet know what each level was going to be, at the very least, she could almost guess already.
As soon as the meeting ended and the United States representative took his leave, Rong Yue was the first to stand up.
“I’ll see you guys later,” she told Wu Hao and teacher Lu after, she turned to the others and greeted them goodbye politely.
“Miss Rong! Do you mind if we study together? It would be okay if we both study in the same room,” Feng Ya said standing up and walking towards Rong Yue.
For someone like her, her self-confidence and esteem were built on certain things, now that she could see that even her looks couldn’t stand a chance beside Rong Yue’s looks, a part of her mind had started to see Rong Yue as someone who she needed to pull down.
This way, she wanted to know more about her so that she could know where to attack.
There was also the saying that the closer you got to a beauty, the harder it was to keep seeing their beauty. As one would often see their flaws, beautiful people were also known to have a lot more character flaws.
“Sorry to disappoint you Miss Feng but I have no plans to study today,” Rong Yue said politely, not only did she not bring any study material, but she even had some work to handle as she would be absent the entire day tomorrow also.
Her words, however, sounded different to the three students planning to study overnight.
“You have no plan to study??” Feng Ya asked with a suspicious look in her eyes.
For her to have this grade, she had spent close to three months in an intensive studying process and barely even slept.
She also had plans of staying up and getting only a little sleep to get the best result she could achieve.
And here, someone that had scored even higher than her said she wasn’t going to study??
One had to understand that, despite each country bringing five students, the hope of the country always rested on their top student the most.
If Rong Yue had a bad ranking, she was going to have more scolding than if anyone else in the room had a bad ranking.
In fact, even the government officials felt a little skeptical.
“Is there any problem? Studying together would give us the best results possible,” Feng Ya added and Rong Yue had to resist the urge to roll her eyes in annoyance.
“Last-minute studying doesn’t work for me, so it’s better to just rest and be in my best condition for tomorrow,” after replying to her, Rong Yue gave a polite nod to everyone in the room and left.
Feng Ya’s lips formed into a small pout of annoyance as she went out of the room too.
In the meeting room, the two representatives turned to look at teacher Lu.
“Would matters be okay like that?” The both of them asked as they wondered if they were supposed to have convinced Rong Yue to study a bit more.
After all, her explanation was a solid one as someone could meet a person that couldn’t handle the pressure of studying under pressure.
“You don’t have to worry, Miss Rong isn’t an irresponsible student.” Teacher Lu said as he stood up also, planning to take his leave.
Since he had assured them, the two officials too also took their leave.
