“Gu Yan, you’re set on applying for the First Empire Academy, aren’t you?”


  “Yes.” Gu Yan nodded solemnly. Just when she thought Principal Gao was going to give her some advice, she realized he was holding back some words.

  This was a first.

  Based on her understanding, Principal Gao was not a simple person. Although he wasn’t involved in politics himself, he was friends with many high-level officials.

  Principal Gao was not only extremely smart like an old fox, but his social network was also unbelievably vast.

  Gu Yan said, “Principal Gao, if there’s something you have to say, just tell me straight up.”


  “Sigh…… then I’ll say it.” Principal Gao sighed again before continuing, “Gu Yan, can you help me persuade Hao?”


  Gu Yan was taken aback. “Me? Persuade Qi Hao?”


  “Yes, that kid suddenly declared…… he wants to get admitted to the First Empire Academy!” Principal Gao didn’t look like his usual shrewd self. He was more like an elder who felt helpless about his kid.

  He said, “Our entire family doesn’t approve of his decision, but he still wants to do it. And, if we don’t agree, he wouldn’t take the examination at all. This kid……”


  Principal Gao felt deeply unsettled.

  Gu Yan was speechless. This Qi Hao was quite troublesome and rebellious.

  Other people spent years preparing for the examination, but he could simply dismiss it and not take it altogether.

  He was way too impulsive.

  But was this even a problem……

  Gu Yan said with reservation, “Principal Gao, I’m not close with Qi Hao. He wouldn’t listen to my advice, would he?”


  During this time, Qi Hao hadn’t even talked to her yet. Gu Yan even suspected that he was with someone else.

  Principal Gao looked seriously at Gu Yan and said, “Your previous results in the mock test have surpassed the kid’s. He is really competitive. He wants to apply to the First Empire Academy too. Before, he decided on a business school in the capital, so he could take over the family business in the future.”


  Gu Yan understood it. As the only heir of a businessman, his family won’t naturally approve of him pursuing a military school.

  Why did this Qi Hao have to be so obstinate?

  Although she recognized what Principal Gao meant, Gu Yan still said, “I can try to persuade him, but I can’t promise it will be effective. After all, his personality is a bit…… rough.”


  Principal Gao laughed. “Yes, that kid is a bit rough. Gu Yan, you’re so smart. You definitely know how to persuade him, right?”


  “I’ll try.”


  Gu Yan didn’t really want to do it, but considering how Principal Gao helped her so much for the examination, Gu Yan decided to help in the end.

  Principal Gao felt relieved after Gu Yan left.

  “Stupid kid, do you think Gu Yan would like you if you got into First Empire Academy?” Principal Gao had long known what that kid intended to do.

  He was chasing after Gu Yan.

  If Gu Yan’s boyfriend wasn’t Lu Ye, he could have had some chance.

  But now……

  Even if he got into First Empire Academy, he didn’t stand a chance.

  He sighed. Hopefully, that kid could change his mind.
