Chapter 129 They have been searching for their aunt!
Since the last city-wide mock school opening exam, Chu Miao's name has become well-known throughout the Education Bureau.
Everyone knows Chu Miao.
The education bureau leaders also wanted to see Chu Miao, and now that they had finally met her, they were naturally very enthusiastic.
"So you must be Chu Miaomiao," the leader in charge of receiving them joked. "The Education Bureau called you so many times before, wanting you to come to the Education Bureau for a report and interview, but you wouldn't come. Now we finally meet you in person, huh?"
The leader was clearly joking, and Chu Miao chuckled back, her humor tactful yet measured, which deepened the leader's smile.
They chatted and laughed ahead, while Lu Cheng and Jiang Nan walked behind. Lu Cheng looked calm, which made Jiang Nan feel resentful.
Why does the leader only talk to Chu Miao and not her?
Why should Chu Miao draw all the attention?!
Jiang Nan felt extremely resentful. There were three of them, but the leader's attention was entirely on Chu Miao. Even though he had spoken a few words to Lu Cheng, he only gave him a perfunctory nod. The difference in treatment was too obvious.
She was internally turmoil and conflicted hundreds of times, but on the surface she remained magnanimous, and no one noticed anything amiss.
The leader chatted with Chu Miao for a while, then spoke with Lu Cheng: "Lu Cheng, your grandfather's birthday is coming up soon, right?"
Lu Cheng's grandfather, Mr. Lu, was a university professor who taught many students, including this leader and the current director of the Education Bureau.
The Lu family was a scholarly family with a high status in the capital. Although they were not as wealthy as the Si family, which was a merchant family, they were more prestigious than the Si family.
After all, scholars are respected everywhere.
Moreover, many of the students taught by the Lu family are employed in officialdom, and their influence should not be underestimated.
"Yes, next month is Grandpa's birthday." Lu Cheng nodded. Years of good family upbringing had made him humble, polite, and poised.
The leader immediately smiled and said that he would prepare a big gift to see Mr. Lu next month.
Lu Cheng's eyes darkened slightly.
For his grandfather, the best gift was that his aunt, who had been abducted more than 30 years ago, could come back.
But everyone knows it's impossible.
More than thirty years have passed, and it's uncertain whether my aunt is still alive.
Grandpa is getting old and has been missing his aunt for years, which has made him ill. The doctor said he doesn't have much time left, so we should try our best to make him happy. Therefore, we plan to have a big birthday party next month. But we also know that no matter how big the party is, it can't compare to the happiness that his lost aunt can bring him back.
Seeing that the leader was talking to Cheng Lu but not to her, Jiang Nan felt even more conflicted. Why wouldn't the leader talk to her? Was it because of her bad family background?
What a snob!
She hated Chu Miao, Cheng Lu, and even her boss. She just couldn't believe that it was because she was too shy and reserved, always keeping quiet and not being open or generous. Did she expect a big boss to take the initiative to talk to her?
The four walked on, unaware that in the shadows, a pair of cold, venomous eyes, filled with hatred, were staring intently at them.
……
The leader led them to a large conference room: "Students from several schools have already arrived. You can go in now. I still need to greet students from other schools. I'll come over later."
After speaking, the leader left first, and Chu Miao and the others entered the conference room first.
There were already more than a dozen people in the meeting room, all wearing their respective school uniforms.
The people who can appear here are all the top three in their grade from each school. They are all the pride of heaven, and each of them carries an air of arrogance.
Upon seeing Chu Miao and the others approach, they all looked over at the same time.
They didn't know Chu Miao, but they recognized Lu Cheng and the school uniforms they were wearing.
I knew they were students from the affiliated high school.
"Hi everyone, I'm Jiang Nan, a student from the affiliated high school. It's nice to meet you all."
When Jiang Nan saw them looking over, she mustered up her courage to greet them. In front of the education bureau leaders, she was too scared to speak, but in front of her peers, she finally became a little bolder and dared to speak, so she tried her best to show her lively side.
The top students nodded in a friendly manner, but their attention was mostly on Chu Miao, and they looked at her with curiosity and inquiry.
"Are you Chu Miaomiao?"
One person excitedly walked up to Chu Miaomiao.
"The top scorer in the city's mock exam for senior high school students! That prodigy!"
"You are really amazing!"
Chu Miao smiled and said, "Miaomiao is very capable."
"Miaomiao is amazing? Is that how all the big shots talk? Then my name is Fangfang, and I will work hard so that I can also say 'Fangfang is amazing'!" The girl smiled: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Luo Fangfang! I'm from the Second Affiliated Middle School next door!"
"Hello." Chu Miao was gentle to all kind-hearted girls.
Those who were initially observing all gathered around Chu Miaodu because she was so easy to get along with!
Jiang Nan managed to squeeze to the side!
"Chu Miaomiao! You are really amazing! How did you manage to get a perfect score of 750 with only two points deducted? And we heard that your grades weren't very good before, right? Do you have any study tips? Can you tell us?"
"Chu Miaomiao, your grades are killing us! Why should a mere mortal like me be with a prodigy like you?! You've dragged my score down by more than fifty points, help!"
"Chu Miaomiao, you'd better hand over your study secrets today, or you're not leaving! I'm telling you!"
The top students weren't as dull as I'd imagined, nor were they scheming against each other. Instead, they were all as carefree as huskies, and they had high emotional intelligence when they spoke.
"Chu Miaomiao, we thought you were like Jiang Chengyang, all aloof and disdainful of talking to ordinary people like us!" One of them patted his chest and said, "Do you know Jiang Chengyang? He's a monster. For three years of high school, he was always number one in the city in every exam, never scoring below 740. He's a top-tier academic genius, always looking up to the top. But this time, you've managed to squeeze him down to second place in the city. I'm afraid he won't be able to be so smug anymore!"
Just as he finished speaking.
The conference room door, which was originally half-open, was kicked open.
A man stood at the door with a somber expression.
He was wearing a red school uniform, and his hair was very long, as if it had never been styled, and was messily spread behind his head, covering his eyes.
Those half-covered eyes looked up, carrying a sinister and terrifying air.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the person who had been speaking immediately fell silent.
He is Jiang Chengyang, that freak.
He was a loner who never spoke to anyone. Even people at his school didn't want to associate with him, thinking he was mentally ill.
Jiang Chengyang's expression was truly chilling, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little scared and wanted to stay away from him.
Jiang Chengyang stared intently at Chu Miao and strode towards her!
