章 39: The Pharmacy Competition
編集者: Henyee Translations
Li Yueru's health was getting better day by day and Lan Anran could finally prepare for the Pharmacy Competition without worry.
Lan Yaxin had been working hard for the past two days. For the sake of the competition, she stayed in her room every day, trying to figure out the best formulas for her medicine.
In just a blink of an eye, it was the day of the competition. The number of participants this year was higher than before, with more than 10,000 participants from all over Rong City. There were two rounds to the competition, a written test and an interview. The first was an assessment of their theoretical knowledge.
Lan Yaxin had a disgusted expression when she saw Lan Anran's name on the list at the entrance of the examination room.
Agh! Just my luck!
It was so unlucky to be assigned to the same examination room as her.
Yan Qing comforted her, "Yaxin, it's okay. Look, the test is about to start, but your sister hasn't even arrived. Did her fear keep her away?"
Lan Yaxin shook her head.
She hoped that Lan Anran wouldn't show to avoid shaming the Lan family.
At this moment, the facilitator came over, opened the door, and let the candidates in. Lan Anran was the only one who hadn't arrived yet, the others were all there.
"Yaxin, I think your sister didn't turn up because she was afraid of embarrassing herself. Don't worry, you will definitely be first place this time."
Yang Qing smiled flatteringly.
Yaxin nodded, smiling with satisfaction.
Even if Lan Anran came, could a countryside girl steal her position?
At this moment, Sun Hui was also sitting in the examination room. She was assigned to the same class as Lan Anran and Lan Yaxin. She really hadn't expected it, but these were her competitors and she wanted to see how these 'fake sisters' were going to compete.
When the exam bell rang, Sun Hui looked at Lan Anran's empty seat and presumed that she was scared. She could only smile.
Lan Anran would be late if she wasn't in the examination hall 15 mins before the test started. Lan Yaxin glanced up at the wall clock silently, there was still one minute left before Lan Anran would be disqualified!
Suddenly!
A pretty girl walked in, carrying a backpack and had her hair tied into a high ponytail. She allowed the facilitator to check her while she looked at Lan Yaxin with a smile.
The facilitator was a middle-aged man with a beer belly.
He eyed the girl with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He then looked at his watch and said at the last minute, "You're late."
"Teacher, if you don't let me in now, I'm really going to be late. There is one minute left."
Lan Anran laughed, her eyes sparkling.
"Go in," the man said grumpily.
He disliked people that were late. Looking at her appearance, she probably wasted time on putting herself together. Such students wouldn't be able to get good results even if they came for the test.
Lan Yaxin was furious.
F*ck! How did she make it here with only one minute left? Let's see how proud she is after the results are out.
Lan Anran ignored the look from Lan Yaxin and Sun Hui, directly walking to her seat. She took out a pen and wrote down her name.
She glanced at the test paper and smirked. This test paper was too simple for her!
Lan Anran began to write on the test paper hurriedly, finishing both sides in half an hour. Bored that she had nothing to do, she lay down on the table and slept.
Sun Hui sat behind Lan Anran and saw that she was asleep, certain she was stumped by the problem. This was the case for those who were poor students. This time, she was surely going to get kicked out of the experimental class.
She found today's question a bit difficult and had left several theoretical explanation questions blank as she hadn't studied them before. She had no idea why the examiner had made such difficult questions.
The facilitator saw Lan Anran sleeping soundly on the table. He walked over to remind her, "Student, check your work after you're done and take more time for questions you don't know. It's only been half an hour and you're asleep…"
Lan Anran was awakened by the rough male voice. She rubbed her eyes and asked in a daze, "Teacher, when can we submit our papers?"
The man looked at Lan Anran's paper. The handwriting was beautiful, the whole paper was full of words, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
"After one hour," he replied.
After he skimmed through it, he placed the paper down and left in silence.
He hadn't expected her to have filled up the test paper in just half an hour, but judging from the looks of it, she must have written nonsense.
Lan Yaxin sat in front of Lan Anran. She looked back when she heard the voice and almost laughed when she saw Lan Anran's appearance. She was indeed from the countryside. These topics were a bit difficult for her, not to mention Lan Anran.
Lan Anran slept for another half an hour before the facilitator called out loudly, "You can hand in your test papers. If you want to hand them in, you can hand them in advance and leave when you are done."
Lan Anran was awakened by the sound. She stretched, tidied her things, took the test paper, and placed it on the podium.
She was the first in the entire examination room to hand in her test papers, so everyone looked at her in surprise as she left the classroom.
Once she left, Lan Anran sat down at a random cafe and took out her laptop. She couldn't go back yet. If she went back too early, her parents would be suspicious.
She was browsing the web with her slender fingers when suddenly she saw a post offering a reward and her eyes widened.
She read aloud, "Looking for the mysterious organization Xiang Tian. Reward… 10 billion yuan!"
