Gu Mang rapped her knuckles on the book. “There are many laws and regulations, so you have to pick the right move. If you can’t win the suit with this method, then change tactics to achieve your goals. What’s important is the end result.”


  She spoke slowly, placing much emphasis on the last sentence.

  Meng Jinyang stared at her in a daze.

  Gu Mang pinched her soft cheeks. “You’re participating in the competition as a volunteer this time. The next time, you have to win a trophy for me to see. I want to see what it looks like.”


  Qin Yaozhi was speechless.

  A smile spread across Meng Jinyang’s face as she said with determination, “I’ll win that trophy and present it to you as a gift.”


  Gu Mang straightened her body and returned to her seat with a smile on her face. She then tied up her hair into a ponytail and began taking notes as she studied. Her handwritten notes were concise and so easily understandable that even a layman could understand the topic……

  At half-past twelve, which was already past the peak hours, the trio decided to head to the cafeteria for lunch. However, as they made their way out of the library, they ran into Shen Qianzi and Sang Xue, who had just finished their lunch, at the entrance.

  Gu Mang played her mobile game while walking, never once lifting her head as she swaggered out of the library. Qin Yaozhi rolled her eyes and commented in disdain, “Just our luck to be running into them for the second time today.”


  The young miss always spoke her mind. She would not tolerate someone who dared to provoke her or her friends. Thus, she did not bother lowering her voice and said it loudly for them to hear.

  “What do you mean by that, Qin Yaozhi?” Sang Xue whipped her head around at once and grabbed Qin Yaozhi’s arm, pulling her toward herself.

  The two of them had never seen eye to eye and had even fought before. Although Qin Yaozhi’s marksmanship could not be compared to Sang Xue’s, the latter was no match for the former in a physical fight.

  Since Sang Xue started getting physical first, Qin Yaozhi unhesitatingly shook her off. “Don’t touch me, twit!”


  Sang Xue stumbled, her expression darkening when she heard what Qin Yaozhi had called her. “Who do you think you’re scolding?!”


  At this point, Gu Mang looked up and stopped playing her game.

  “I’m scolding you two, of course.” Qin Yaozhi crossed her arms before her chest, sneering. “You sure are birds of a feather. Back then, you suspected Gu Mang of using drugs during military training. Now, your friend here accused Gu Mang of cheating on the exams. How did you two manage to enter Capital University with those brains of yours?”


  The loud commotion made the students stop and look in their direction. The upperclassmen only knew that Gu Mang came in first during the military training’s assessment, so they were surprised to hear this juicy piece of news. Their gazes became mocking when they looked at Shen Qianzi and Sang Xue again, making the two of them feel immensely ashamed.

  Shen Qianzi squeezed her hands tightly as she glared at Qin Yaozhi. “As I said before, nobody suspected her of cheating. I only wanted to find out how she managed to get such perfect scores.”


  “Go on, lie to yourselves.” Qin Yaozhi scoffed. “Your fans might believe your lies, but I won’t.”


  Shen Qianzi was flushed with anger. “You!”


  More and more people were gathering around and talking about them. Seeing that the situation was not in their favor, Sang Xue tugged at Shen Qianzi’s clothes. “We should leave.”


  Shen Qianzi naturally knew that the situation would only become worse if she allowed it to fester. After shooting a glare in Qin Yaozhi’s direction, she turned around and left, squeezing through the crowd.

  “Idiots.” Qin Yaozhi turned to Gu Mang and said, “Sister Mang, since I’m in a good mood, let’s go out and eat something nice. I feel like I can eat two bowls of rice!”


  Meng Jinyang could not help but chuckle at that.

  Gu Mang raised her eyebrows. “Sure. My treat.”


  “Yay!” Qin Yaozhi hooked her arm around Gu Mang’s. “In that case, I’ll eat three bowls of rice!”
