Heads-up! The CEO's Wife is a Hidden Big Boss! novel Chapter 1101

Chapter 1101: Double Top Scholars (Lu Guixin Part 25)

Editor: Atlas Studios

After ten days of silence, the Year Three building was bustling with students and parents.

At 10 am sharp—the time when the results were released—Zhou Fu pushed open the door to the staffroom.

Other than Mr. Dong and his form teacher, the teachers responsible for recruitment from Capital University and University A were seated inside. They’d long added Zhou Fu as a friend on WeChat from way before when he was participating in the competition. Their overwhelming concern, however, was too much for Zhou Fu, who then deleted them as his friends.

Their eyes lit up at the sight of the boy like how wolves would do at the sight of their prey. They all stood up and greeted him with ingratiating smiles. "Zhou Fu."

"Hello." Zhou Fu nodded and politely greeted them back. He was wearing a dark short-sleeved shirt and loose sweatpants—his tall and thin frame made him look unrestrained.

The moment he sat down on the sofa, the recruiting teacher from Capital University took out a silver insulated bag from his bag, tore open its seal, and took out the cold bottle of cola to place in front of him. "It’s hot outside, isn’t it? Have something cool."

It was obvious that the teacher had bought it from outside and had been carrying it in the insulated bag to keep it cool. The teacher from University A was rendered speechless. What the hell?

"Thank you, Mr. Xue."

Just then, Mr. Dong, who had been sitting in front of his desk from 9.55 AM, slapped the tabletop.

The loud sound reverberated through the office, making the other teachers jump and look at him right away.

Mr. Dong, whose face had turned red from excitement, plucked the laptop charger and carried the laptop over. "The results are out!"

Perhaps because the school internet speed was fast, they didn’t experience any lagging when logging onto the results page.

While the teachers immediately crowded over to check Zhou Fu’s results for the university entrance exams, Zhou Fu sat leisurely in his seat, opening the bottle of cola to take a sip.

Name: Zhou Fu

Total score: 742

Language: 142

Mathematics: 150

English: 150

Science: 300

Provincial ranking: 1

The teachers stared dumbly at his language results before eventually looking at Zhou Fu in disbelief.

It was well-known that Zhou Fu was bad at languages and that his essays were often written out of topic. His language teacher, who had a headache over this, would often have a talk with him to try and make him change, though it was to no avail. Hence, it came as a surprise to all that he managed to get such a high score on the subject.

Capital University, as the top local university, had experienced its fair share of things before, so its teachers had better psychological qualities. Hence, Mr. Xue was the first one to recover. He immediately said to Zhou Fu, "You’re free to make any requests as long as you join Capital University."

The teacher from University A hurriedly said, "Zhou Fu, you said before that you want to study physical chemistry. We’re better in this aspect than Capital University. We’ll provide you with the best resources if it means that you’ll join University A. Of course, you’re free to make any other requests that you may have as well."

Mr. Xue, who didn’t like what the other teacher had said, huffed, "Mr. Qian, what do you mean your university’s better in physical chemistry than ours?!"

"Go check it out yourself. We’re way ahead of you in this aspect!" Mr. Qian lifted his chin in confidence.

"Nonsense! The cheek of you to say that!" Mr. Xue stood up agitatedly.

Mr. Qian got up as well. "Well, that’s true!"

Even though the two teachers were about to get into a fight, Zhou Fu looked completely calm and showed no response at all. Hence, Mr. Dong had no choice but to step in to play the mediator. "Please calm down, gentlemen. It won’t reflect nicely on both universities if news of your fight over a student makes it to tomorrow’s headlines."

The two teachers glared at each other, snorted, and then sat back down in their seats.

Mr. Dong sighed in relief. "Let’s hear Zhou Fu out first."

Zhou Fu screwed back the cap and placed the bottle of cola on the take before leaning back against the sofa, resting his arms on the armrests. He looked at Mr. Xue. "I can go to Capital University, but I have a request."

Mr. Xue’s eyes lit up instantly. "Sure, sure. Say it. As long as you’re willing to come, we’ll do our best to fulfill all of your requests."

"You have to accept one more person and let her join any major she wants."

Hearing that, Mr. Xue smiled. "Is she your girlfriend?"

Zhou Fu nodded.

Mr. Xue slapped his thigh. "No problem. Send me her information, and I’ll arrange it for you right away. How are her grades? Which subject is she good at? I can recommend suitable courses for her."

Zhou Fu tapped his fingers against the armrests. "She’s in Year One."

"Y-Year One?" Mr. Xue stiffened. A Year One student going to university?

"If you agree to let her attend university with me, I’ll be responsible for her studies in the future and make sure that she successfully graduates."

Mr. Xue was shocked, having never encountered such a situation before. The only request of the genius top scholar in Ming City that all famous universities are fighting to recruit is that his girlfriend is allowed to attend Capital University with him.

Mr. Qian immediately said, "We can do that. Your girlfriend’s free to choose any major she wants."

Just when Mr. Xue snapped out of it and was about to scold Mr. Qian for interrupting them, Zhou Fu said, "I’m sorry, Mr. Qin. My girlfriend prefers Capital University, so I want to hear them out first."

Mr. Qian was rendered speechless.

"No problem at all! I can arrange that for you right away!" Mr. Xue didn’t dare to hesitate as he was afraid that Zhou Fu might end up choosing University A instead. "Like I said, send me her information, and I’ll process the documents for the both of you."

After that, he added, "Do you need an apartment? We can arrange that for you too. In fact, once you reach the legal age, I’ll get the principal to be your witness at your wedding! When your children are born, they can even attend our nursery."

The corners of Mr. Dong’s lips twitched. He’s getting way ahead of himself. Who would dare to officiate the wedding of the Lu family’s young miss?

Although the form teacher of Class One was shocked, she appeared rather calm as she hesitantly said, "Zhou Fu, I think you should discuss it with Lu Guixin again. Capital University isn’t an ordinary university. It has a stressful study environment, which is far worse than that of Year Three. You need talent to get into there. The students there were the most outstanding students in the university college exams. Lu Guixin’s results are too poor. That university isn’t suitable for her." Besides, it’ll be easy for Lu Guixin to enter Capital University since her mother is Gu Mang, after all. The thing is, Gu Mang probably won’t dare to let her average daughter enter the university where many talented students are gathered.

The two university teachers were surprised to hear that. They thought that Lu Guixin’s results were not bad and that Zhou Fu only made the request because he didn’t want to be separated from her. They wondered if her results were really that bad for the form teacher to say that.

Zhou Fu turned to look at the form teacher, his face devoid of emotion as he said coldly, "She doesn’t need to be outstanding. All it matters is that I like her."

His form teacher wanted to say something to that, but he cut her off. "I don’t like to hear other people criticizing my girlfriend."

The form teacher’s frown deepened slightly.

"Since I requested for her to enter the university with me, I’ll be responsible for everything about her. It’s none of any other people’s business."

The form teacher couldn’t bring herself to say anything else after that, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from the class chairperson asking her to go back to the classroom as there were many parents around.

After the results came out, many parents said in the group chat that they were coming to the school to get the teacher’s help in selecting a major for their children. That call, thus, provided the form teacher an excuse to leave.

The office’s door opened and closed.

With Zhou Fu selecting Capital University, this matter had officially come to an end. The two teachers were planning to leave when Mr. Qian from University A suddenly joked, "We didn’t lose because our school’s inferior to yours, but because of Zhou Fu’s girlfriend."

Mr. Xue retorted, "A loss is a loss. No need to find excuses."

Amusement twinkled in Zhou Fu’s eyes as he took a look at the time—it was 10:10 AM, and Year One students would only be released from school at noon.

After sending the two teachers off to the elevators, Mr. Dong returned to the office and sat across from Zhou Fu. "There’s something I haven’t gotten the chance to say to you just now."

Zhou Fu sipped on his cola while raising his eyebrows as an indication for Mr. Dong to go on.

Mr. Dong continued speaking, "You should know that, in Capital University, only medicine, computing, and law are the world’s leading majors. Physical science isn’t their strong suit."

Zhou Fu didn’t say anything. All did was keep turning on and off his phone screen to look at the time.

Mr. Dong shifted towards him. "We received a call from Jijing Island. If you’re willing to enter the Jijing Special Institute, you’re free to make any requests you want—even taking Lu Guixin there with you."

Zhou Fu lazily looked up and leaned back against the sofa. "Not interested."

Mr. Dong frowned in disappointment. "Do you know how many people are dying to get in there but don’t have the chance to?"

"No." Zhou Fu remained uncooperative.

Mr. Dong, who really wished he could beat some senses into him, took a deep breath to calm himself down before advising, "Think carefully, Zhou Fu. Jijing Special Institute only accepts students from those three majors in Capital University, but now you have a chance to study there straight out of high school because they made an exception for you. Get your priorities straight! This is hard-to-come-by chance! You won’t get it again!"

"So be it," said Zhou Fu indifferently.

Mr. Dong clenched his teeth. "So you’re bent on going to Capital University?"

Zhou Fu responded to his question with silence.

Mr. Dong was beyond furious, but he wasn’t capable of persuading Zhou Fu otherwise. Thus, he planned to look for Lu Guixin and ask her to change his mind instead. Hesitating to go to Jijing Special Institute for even a second was disrespect to Jijing Island. Only Zhou Fu wouldn’t care about this.

Zhou Fu looked at the time again, which was a minute later. Not planning to wait anymore, he rose to his feet and said, "I’ll get going."

"Go, go, go." Mr. Dong shooed him away.

...

When the form teacher of Class One returned to her office, the class president happened to be carrying her laptop and some of the college major application guidebooks. "I’m going back to the classroom first."

The form teacher nodded. "Go ahead. I’ll be right there after getting a cup of water."

Just then, a teacher who was using the same office came back. Upon seeing the form teacher of Class One, she congratulated her. "Congrats on having a top scholar in your class! I heard that he did exceptionally well on his language this time with 142 marks."

Zhou Fu had always scored full marks on all subjects except for language, so everyone paid attention to his language score.

For years, only Gu Mang managed to get perfect scores on the university entrance exams. Zhou Fu was the next with the closest scores.

"Is he going to Capital University or University A?" The other teacher asked as he took a sip of water.

The form teacher sighed. "Capital University."

The other teacher was rather surprised to see her in this state. "What’s wrong? Why are you putting on a glum face when you have a top scholar in your class?"

The form teacher then told her about Zhou Fu wanting Lu Guixin to enter Capital University with him.

The other teacher laughed in an ambiguous manner. "Lu Guixin sure is something, huh? It’s so hard to get into Capital University. Every year, only one to two hundred students from our province are accepted, but because of Zhou Fu, she can easily get in now."

Zhou Fu wasn’t exactly the most well-behaved student, but he was rather respectful towards the teachers. Hence, the form teacher didn’t expect to be on the receiving end of his attitude.

The other teacher shook her head. "They’re not from the same world, and their grades are so different. There’s no way they can have a future together when they’re on different thinking levels."

The form teacher agreed, but she didn’t dare to say anything when she remembered which family Lu Guixin was from.

The other teacher continued, "If news of this matter were to leak out..."

Even though she didn’t complete her sentence, it was clear that she meant that the netizens wouldn’t let Lu Guixin off if they were to find out about this. With the pressure of the public, there was no way Capital University would accept Lu Guixin, for they needed to preserve their reputation.

The form teacher didn’t deny it. Even if Lu Guixin is from the Lu family and is Gu Mang’s daughter, she won’t be spared from criticism.

The teacher lamented, "I didn’t expect Zhou Fu to like only pretty girls, even if they’re worthless."

The form teacher didn’t think that it was good of them to discuss the relationship of their students, especially since Zhou Fu had already graduated and Capital University had agreed to accept Lu Guixin. Not to mention that they couldn’t afford to offend the Lu family.

"Forget it. It’s none of our business, anyway." The form teacher took a cup to get herself some water.

The other teacher smiled. "That’s true."

The class chairperson, who was standing at the doorway with the laptop and books in hand, started moving forward when she heard that. However, after taking just a few steps, she stopped, pursed her lips, and took out her phone.

...

The classroom of Year Three’s Class One.

The results of the students in the class were basically all out. Everyone scored above 650. Zhou Fu, who did exceptionally well in his language, beat the second place in class by more than forty marks.

The form teacher was surprised to see that the second place student was only fourth place in the province, though. "Why are you only ranked fourth?"

The best students in Ming City were all at Ming City High School and Experimental High School. Tan Ying was the one best in Experimental High School, so the form teacher couldn’t figure out why her student was only ranked fourth.

After thinking about it, she contacted the teacher she knew from Experimental High School. [Mr. Li, what’s the highest rank in your school?"

Mr. Li responded quickly. [Tan Ying, third.]

The form teacher then asked, [Who’s second, then?]

[Mr. Li: Probably Lu Yihang from your class.]

[The form teacher: No, Zhou Fu’s first, and Yihang’s fourth.]

[Mr. Li: Then who’s second? If it’s neither a student from our schools, which school are they from?]

The form teacher stared at the phone in perplexity.

...

Zhou Fu went straight to the Year One building.

It was currently the second period, and Zhou Fu, in black, was among the students walking along the corridor.

Zhou Fu’s results had always been of great interest and, thus, wouldn’t be kept a secret. It didn’t take long before the entire school learned of his nearly perfect total score of 742.

"What the?! This is such a crazy score!"

"I would never get that score even if I relived my life ten times!"

Two guys were discussing this excitedly, their eyes bulging when they turned their heads and saw Zhou Fu all of a sudden. "Zhou Fu..."

Zhou Fu nodded at them and walked to the entrance of the classroom of Class Nine. He looked inside, his gaze landing accurately on the girl who was sleeping with her head on the desk in the third row. Her long hair was loosely and messily tied into a bun at the back of her head.

Someone gasped at the sight of Zhou Fu and stared at him in shock as he made his way inside.

Tian Lu was surprised to see him in their classroom, her eyes and mouth widening. "What brings you here—"

Before she could complete her sentence, she saw Zhou Fu walk over to Lu Guixin’s table.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he slowly squatted down while placing his arms on the desk and tilting his head to stare at Lu Guixin’s face from a closeup.

Her skin was fair and tender. Her eyes were tightly closed, her lashes long and dense. Her features were exquisite.

Zhou Fu’s warm breath, mixed with the scent of tobacco, tickled her face, making her scratch it. She opened her eyes and softly said, "You’re back."

Zhou Fu looked at her. "I’m hungry. Go eat with me." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Lu Guixin felt a bit sleepy, though. "But I still have classes. You go wait for me at the Student Union office first. I’ll go there and look for you after school."

"I applied leave for you." Zhou Fu pushed the soft strands of hair away from her face.

Lu Guixin hesitated for a bit before compromising, "Okay."

A hint of a smile appeared on Zhou Fu’s face as he grazed her nose with his finger. "I like you more when you behave."

Lu Guixin sat straight in her seat and drank a sip of water. "What about when I misbehave?"

Zhou Fu pondered the question before saying, "You slap me, and that hurts."

Lu Guixin pouted. "I’m not as bad as you say. Don’t spoil my reputation."

Tian Lu, who was sitting just next to Lu Guixin, was blushing hard. Hello, you’re in the classroom right now! It’s like you’re totally in your own world now! Are you sure you want to do that?!

After Zhou Fu took Lu Guixin away, Class Nine erupted. "Ahhh! That was so sweet!"

"I can’t stand it anymore! They’re a sight for sore eyes! They’re like a couple straight from a drama!"

"To think that I once wooed Lu Guixin. I was Zhou Fu’s competitor!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Hahahaha, have some shame!"

"Even the couples in dramas aren’t as romantic as them! Awww, they’re so sweet! I’m so envious! When will I have a sweet campus relationship?!"

A girl whispered, "What’s there to be envious about? Zhou Fu’s about to go to university. It won’t be long before they break up."
