Mu Wanting was caught off guard by the situation she got herself into!
She couldn't help but doubt whether she was really helping Jiang Moxi or assisting Xiao Zhong in ridiculing her.
Mu Wanting even considered just standing up and telling Xiao Zhong that passing the note was her idea alone and had nothing to do with Jiang Moxi.
However, just as she was about to put her thoughts into action, Jiang Moxi calmly spread her palm, exposing the note for everyone to see.
As a result, the other students in the class started whispering among themselves.
Li Xue'er joined in with her deskmate, saying, "I knew it! How could Jiang Moxi suddenly have the courage to claim she can solve the problem? Turns out she asked someone else for the answer!"
"Seriously, it's the first time Teacher Xiao is here to teach us, and she's making our class lose face like this."
Xiao Zhong also heard the students' mockery of Jiang Moxi, but he didn't consider preserving this female student's dignity. Instead, he directly opened the note in her hand.
After briefly glancing at the steps written on it and then checking the answer, he burst into a light laugh.
"Your off-stage assistance has led to an incorrect answer as well. I think you don't need to come up here, so as not to waste everyone's time."
His contemptuous tone instantly made Mu Wanting's face burn with anger.
She was also an underachiever in her studies, so she couldn't possibly write the correct answer. She only worried that if Jiang Moxi went up there and couldn't even write a single step, she would face even more ridicule. That was why she reluctantly wrote down whatever she could think of.
Yet, all of this resulted in her admired crush ridiculing her.
Suddenly, Mu Wanting found that the image of Xiao Zhong constructed in her mind was far from reality.
She couldn't help but lower her head in disappointment.
At that moment, Jiang Moxi said, "I have another answer. Do you want to take a look?"
Xiao Zhong raised an eyebrow. "Sure, I just hope you're not intentionally wasting everyone's time."
"I don't it will be a waste of time," Jiang Moxi uttered these words and then walked past Xiao Zhong, heading to the podium.
At this point, whether it was Xiao Zhong, the class monitor Li Xue'er, or any other students, none of them believed that Jiang Moxi could solve the problem on the blackboard.
However, in front of everyone's gaze, Jiang Moxi picked up the chalk and started writing on the blackboard with surprising speed and accuracy.
Mu Wanting looked at Jiang Moxi writing with such proficiency and felt even worse.
Li Xue'er and the others also sneered as they watched Jiang Moxi writing so swiftly.
Teacher Xiao had mentioned that this problem was at the level of advanced mathematics competition, and even at Top One University, only two top students managed to solve it.
So, he confidently stated that no one at the Technical Insitute could do it.
But there was Jiang Moxi, pretending like a big shot. It was truly laughable.
At first, Xiao Zhong watched Jiang Moxi writing on the blackboard nonchalantly, anticipating a good laugh.
However, as Jiang Moxi reached the crucial part of her solution, his eyes suddenly changed.
It turned out that Jiang Moxi wasn't just writing out a solution; she even presented a novel and correct approach.
Her problem-solving process appeared even more concise and clear than that of the top students from Top One University.
But what exactly is going on here?
Isn't Jiang Moxi supposed to be the biggest underachiever at the Technical Institute?
How could she solve this problem and even utilize formulas that even her advanced math teacher, Xiao Zhong, wasn't very familiar with?
Under Xiao Zhong's astonished gaze, Jiang Moxi had already completed the entire process of solving the problem and turned to look at him directly.
"Teacher, I guess there's no need to call my parents, right?"
Jiang Moxi's tone remained cold and indifferent as if nothing unpleasant had happened just now.
The students in the class, especially Li Xue'er and others, all looked at Xiao Zhong, hoping he would continue to humiliate Jiang Moxi.
How could an underachiever pretend to have solved the competition question by simply faking a solution? Where did this confidence come from?
However, the response from Xiao Zhong surprised everyone.
He didn't accuse Jiang Moxi of writing nonsense. He merely glanced at her and coldly said, "Go back to your seat!"
For a moment, the classroom fell silent.
So, did Xiao Zhong's reaction mean that Jiang Moxi had indeed solved this epic-level difficult problem?
No way!
Was this true?
Wasn't this the same problem that even the top students from Top One University couldn't solve?
Then how did their Technical Institute's biggest underachiever manage to solve it?
Everyone was filled with confusion.
Of course, some people thought that Xiao Zhong was going easy on Jiang Moxi because she was a girl.
Li Xue'er was one of them!
After all, Jiang Moxi had never handed in an assignment since she enrolled, and her scores in advanced math never exceeded 30 points.
How could someone like her solve a problem that even Li Xue'er, an outstanding student, couldn't solve?
It must be that Xiao Zhong was giving her special treatment!
He was truly too kind.
Regardless of what Li Xue'er thought, Jiang Moxi had already returned to her seat under the astonished gazes of everyone.
Mu Wanting hurriedly approached her, asking excitedly, "Moxi, how did you solve such a difficult problem? Could it be that you are actually a top student pretending to be an underachiever?"
Jiang Moxi didn't want her "underachiever" image to collapse, so she replied awkwardly, "Uh, yeah, of course, I saw the answer before. What else do you think?"
Mu Wanting instantly felt disheartened. "Oh, I see."
But it was for the best. If they continued to be underachievers together, she wouldn't feel so much pressure.
While Jiang Moxi and Mu Wanting whispered to each other, Xiao Zhong's gaze once again fell upon Jiang Moxi.
Today was his first day teaching at the Technical Institute, and he had intended to establish his authority by catching Jiang Moxi sleeping.
But the situation didn't go as planned, and he almost became the laughingstock instead.
Therefore, no matter where Jiang Moxi obtained the correct answer from, it had sparked a grudge within him.
In the future, only one of them would remain at the Technical Institute!
--
After finishing a tiresome day of classes, Jiang Moxi rode on Liu'er's motorcycle to her part-time job in the Nightless City.
On the other side, Liu'er had been squatting at the entrance of the Technical Institute all day, waiting to expose Jiang Moxi's true identity.
When he saw her leaving the campus and confidently hopping onto his beloved motorcycle, he couldn't help but grumble inwardly, "I swear, I've seen arrogant people before, but never someone this audacious! Not only did she steal my motorcycle, but she also treats it like her own personal ride!"
Muttering and cursing to himself, Liu'er decided to follow her on his other motorcycle to see where she was headed. He staked his pride as a man to prove that Jiang Moxi was not an ordinary person.
He managed to corner Jiang Moxi on a road not far from the Nightless City, just about thirty meters away. Coincidentally, Fu Yiming's car was parked nearby! Yes, Liu'er had arranged for Fu Yiming to be waiting at this location to witness Jiang Moxi's exceptional abilities.
However, neither of them anticipated that Fu Youhan would also be passing by this area in his own vehicle. The sight of the two motorcycles chasing each other caught the attention of Fu Youhan and Chi Jing.
And there, they saw Jiang Moxi being forced to stop, getting off the motorcycle, and removing her helmet...
