Chương 8: Young Lady of a Prestigious Family (7)

This is... the Provincial Number One Scholar, something that happens only once a year, and even then, with an advantage of thirty points over the second place.

Mrs. Ye, who had been waiting to utter a few mocking words, suddenly found her gentle smile freezing upon hearing this statement.

Mrs. Ye's grip on her cup tightened involuntarily as she stared fixedly at the butler, "Butler, are you sure this is true? With her grades, how could she possibly be the Provincial Number One Scholar?"

Wasn't it said that even the homeroom teacher of Class One wouldn't accept her?

"Absolutely certain," the butler took a deep breath, "The principal wouldn't deceive us about this matter, he also said that the Ning City News and the Education Bureau want to interview the young lady."

Ye Ke abruptly turned to look at the butler, grabbed his phone and asked the principal on the other side several questions until she received his affirmative reply, and her entire countenance instantly turned dark and malevolent.

Seeing such an expression on Ye Ke, the butler and the others were somewhat stupefied.

They had never seen the gentle Ye Ke look so terrifying.

However, Ye Ke was paying them no attention, as she became somewhat neurotic.

"No, it shouldn't be like this…" Ye Ke hung up the phone, remembering the events of her previous life more clearly than anyone else. Ye Shaohua had only managed to get into an ordinary second-tier college, and that was the result one could get from Class One!

In this lifetime, Ye Shaohua was in Class Two, how could she possibly become the Provincial Number One Scholar?

Unless... Could it be that she had also been reborn, like Ye Ke, with the ability to foresee the future?!

But that didn't seem right either. If Ye Shaohua had been reborn, she wouldn't be foolish enough to oppose the Ye Family, nor would she abandon learning Go. So, what exactly went wrong?

Ever since her rebirth, Ye Ke had experienced smooth sailing. This was her first challenge, and she realized this world was not as simple as she had imagined.

Just then, Ye Han came back with the car keys. Upon hearing the butler's words, he paused for a moment. However, his face showed no other expression, and he even seemed somewhat happy for Ye Shaohua.

Seeing Ye Han like this, Ye Ke's gaze towards him deepened significantly—she remembered that in her previous life, Ye Han had the best relationship with Ye Shaohua. She had begged Ye Han to speak to the Gu Family and let her go to the national laboratory, but he wouldn't agree.

This brother's heart would ultimately side with Ye Shaohua.

Ye Shaohua had always aimed to be the Provincial Number One Scholar, so she was not surprised by her results when she knew them.

Ning City's number one school is home to the most first-class students.

When the news came that a dark horse from their school was not only the city's first but also the province's first, the homeroom teacher of Class One felt as if her soul had drifted away.

Besides the top student in her class, who else could achieve such results? It was just unexpected that the student she thought would only be able to achieve city's first had surpassed his usual performance and obtained provincial first!

This was the Provincial Number One Scholar, a student she had educated.

Her promotion was now a sure thing, and with this thought, she hurriedly made her way to the head teacher's office.

But to her surprise, the director looked rather astonished upon hearing her purpose. In the end, he gently informed her that the student wasn't the usual dark horse from her class, but rather Ye Shaohua from Class Two, whom she had originally looked down upon!

Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhang couldn't believe it and stared incredulously at the scores on the director's computer.

When she saw Ye Shaohua's name followed by the score of 723 points for first place, she collapsed into her chair!

Ye Shaohua? Was it really Ye Shaohua? Teacher Zhang's face turned red with a rising flush, almost gasping for air.

She had seen Ye Shaohua's past grades—they were utterly ordinary, which is why she had refused her despite the pressure from the Ye Family.

"Teacher Lin, the Provincial Department of Education has just sent a notice. Because you have educated a Provincial Number One Scholar, you have been specially hired by the Provincial Department of Education to work for them, congratulations," the principal brought a file over and said to the homeroom teacher of Class Two.

The homeroom teacher of Class Two, a middle-aged man, looked at the file with disbelief.

The Provincial Department of Education? His life felt rather fantastic, but he knew everything was thanks to the new transfer student in his class. He had never imagined that taking in Ye Shaohua, who had been mocked by Teacher Zhang, would bring such immense fortune.

With this in mind, he couldn't help but glance at Teacher Zhang. He remembered that initially, the principal had intended to give the Provincial Number One Scholar to her class.

There were other teachers in the office, all there to watch the excitement. It had been many years since Ning City had produced a Provincial Number One Scholar. The emergence of one now brought joy to everyone, and they felt proud.

However, upon seeing the name of the Provincial Number One Scholar, everyone looked at Teacher Zhang with a change in their gaze. Although it was subtle on the surface, their eyes carried a hint of schadenfreude.

They all knew that Teacher Zhang had refused Ye Shaohua to vie for the position at the Department of Education. But unexpectedly, she had personally pushed away the Provincial Number One Scholar.

Teacher Zhang's complexion fluctuated between pale and flushed—it was agonizing for her to think about how she had rejected Ye Shaohua from joining her class.

What could be more remorseful than having almost obtained something, only to lose it due to one's obstinance?

Ye Shaohua didn't know Teacher Zhang's thoughts, and even if she did, she wouldn't care.

When she appeared in public again, it was on the day when she was to fill out her volunteer application form.

Because of her title as the Provincial Number One Scholar, University Beijing and other schools had made more than one phone call to the principal inviting Ye Shaohua to their institutions.

However, Ye Shaohua rejected them all, and hadn't even filled out her volunteer application, a move that left the principal puzzled.

"I have already received an acceptance letter from Stanford's CS department today." Ye Shaohua pulled an envelope from her backpack and said with a smile.

CS—short for Computer Science.

Stanford is a globally renowned university, even surpassing University Beijing in prestige. Admittance to this institution requires individual accomplishment; upon hearing this news, the principal was even more amazed by Ye Shaohua.

Ye Ke had also come to the school today. Ever since learning about Ye Shaohua's scores, she had been unable to sleep well, fearing that Ye Shaohua would choose Go as in her previous life, eventually dominating the international scene and becoming a Go grandmaster.

But unexpectedly, she learned from the principal that Ye Shaohua had chosen to study computer science?

All the anxiety Ye Ke had felt in the past few days vanished in an instant, and she even wanted to burst out laughing!

Computer science? Ye Shaohua, you want to study computer science, is that it? Then just wait and see, you will spend your lifetime being trampled under my feet!

Ye Ke clenched her fists tightly, her mind filled with computer programming software for the next decade, controlling the great waves of internet development—how could Ye Shaohua, even if accepted by Stanford, compare with the top-notch network programming of the next several decades?

Ye Shaohua, if you had chosen Go, I might still be wary of you, as everyone says you're a genius, but unfortunately, you've chosen computer science—my strongest field! So what if it's Stanford's CS department? Soon you will find that this is the biggest mistake of your life!
