Capable, Willful

"Yes, Tang Qiao." Wen Guanjie nodded. "Tang Qiao from Class 9 is in first place this time." His student.

The teachers were all stunned. They could not accept this result.

Then, Wen Guanjie took out Tang Qiao's test paper from a separate folder, spread it out, and pushed it forward. The test papers were all filled with bright red checkmarks. On the top of the paper, bright red numbers hung—180. It was full marks. Upon looking at the name column, they found two neat words—Tang Qiao.

Tang Qiao with 180 points! The score for the Mathematical Olympiad was 180 points! At this moment, the paper with full marks lay quietly in the middle of the table. For a moment, no one went forward to read it.

Wen Guanjie looked at this scene and nodded in his heart. He felt that his performance last night was acceptable and he was much calmer than them.

After about half a minute, a teacher came back to his senses and picked up the test paper. His movements were careful, completely different from the way he casually flipped through the test paper just now.

"Let me have a look too…" Another teacher joined in, and soon, the entire group of teachers formed a large circle, pressing in closely.

Upon seeing this, Wen Guanjie couldn't help but feel that he had been remarkably composed last night. He had completely forgotten the intense moment when he had awarded full marks on the test paper with trembling hands.

Inside the office, Yan Ping was the only one trying to suppress a smile, her face displaying clear displeasure.

After more than ten minutes of collective examination, Wen Guanjie finally said, "Each class's teachers can collect their respective students' test papers. There's no need to tabulate the scores." For most high school students, the Mathematical Olympiad paper was just an extra challenge, and poor performance didn't matter. This was a common perspective among math teachers across the country.

Only then did the teachers from the math team disperse, with the ones who didn't have classes staying behind to review Tang Qiao's paper. A bespectacled teacher remarked, "Tang Qiao's approach is quite unique."

"Yes," echoed another teacher. "The solutions aren't overly sophisticated, but they hit the nail on the head, capturing the essence of each question." Tang Qiao's problem-solving method didn't resemble that of an ordinary student; it was more akin to the thinking of a math teacher with years of experience. After reading a problem, they could immediately grasp its core.

The other teachers shared this perspective, but they were still puzzled. "Her problem-solving methods are excellent, but how did she end up with only five points on the previous exam?"

All eyes turned to Wen Guanjie.

"I didn't disclose the questions," Wen Guanjie responded.

The other teachers shook their heads. "Mr. Wen, you don't need to justify yourself. We trust you, and besides, revealing the questions would serve no purpose." They understood that the selection process was only the beginning, leading to the city-level preliminaries. All the participating students were highly capable. Wen Guanjie, as the head of the Mathematics team, wouldn't jeopardize the school's reputation for Tang Qiao.

Wen Guanjie nodded in agreement. "Tang Qiao achieved a perfect score this time. As for the results of the previous monthly test…"

The other teachers eagerly listened, and even Yan Ping's expression turned more serious. Wen Guanjie took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "Why are you so concerned? She can make things happen as she wishes. She can get as many points as she sees fit."

The other teachers were left speechless, and Yan Ping was utterly flabbergasted. She felt an overwhelming urge to punch something!

After a brief meeting, the teaching team announced the top three students in the Mathematical Olympiad internal selection competition. The news that Tang Qiao had clinched first place with a perfect score of 180 quickly spread throughout First High School, creating a sensation. Class 9, in particular, was in a frenzy. Li Luo enthusiastically hugged Tang Qiao, shaking her shoulders in delight. "Oh, my gosh, Tang Qiao! Your math performance is out of this world! You aced the Mathematical Olympiad with a perfect score! Absolutely flawless!"

Tang Qiao was starting to feel lightheaded from Li Luo's excitement, so she gently pulled her back. "Alright, alright, calm down... I get it."

"Tang Qiao, you've done Class 9 proud!" one boy exclaimed. He had long held a grudge against the top-class students who acted superior.

"Tang Qiao, I never knew you were so talented in math," Jiang Mengyu chimed in with a smile. As a transfer student who had frequently skipped classes, Tang Qiao remained somewhat of a mystery to her classmates. Now, they realized that when she put her mind to it, her academic performance was truly exceptional.

Tang Qiao smiled and replied, "Something happened in the past that clouded my judgment.

I've gained more clarity now." In her previous life, she had been passionate about her medical career, showing great interest in physics and biology. She would continue to pursue a career as a doctor. She was always eager to explore new frontiers and do things she found interesting. And now, she needed to raise her adopted brother. But if given the opportunity, she also harbored dreams of continuing the unfinished experiments with new drugs from her previous life.
