The Jiang Consortium, a grand and solemn CEO’s office at the topmost level.
The round-arched floor-to-ceiling windows captured the best views of Capital City.
What does it mean to stand at the apex of the pyramid?
That was Jiang Xuan
The WeChat message he sent to Xia Ye, he had edited for 10 minutes.
He wrote and deleted, resulting in over a hundred characters.
In the end, only three were left.
‘Wish, success.’
Jiang Xuan was fairly satisfied.
Shen Jing stood rigidly to one side, waiting until the CEO’s message was sent before he dared to breathe, for fear of disturbing the CEO’s thoughts.
So formal, it must be about a big business deal worth several hundred million!
Glancing at the disinfectant wipes on the office desk, Shen Jing seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly picked them up, “CEO, you seem not to have disinfected since you came back to the office today.”
Although the interaction was brief, he knew very well how much of a hygiene freak the CEO was.
Every time he returned from outside, even if it was just touching things like railings and handrails, he would meticulously wash and disinfect his hands.
It seemed that today he was too busy and had forgotten to wash his hands from the time he entered the company.
Seeing that the CEO still remained immovable, Shen Jing helped pull out a few disinfectant wipes for him, “CEO, for you.”
Jiang Xuan glanced at the hand that had accidentally held Xia Ye’s small hand.
Such a small person seemed quite imposing, but in fact, that hand was delicate and soft.
Fortunately, he stopped his force in time, as if a little more pressure would break it.
The man’s voice was husky, his tone distant, “No need to wipe.”
Shen Jing: “???”

Tian Hanwen personally proctored Xia Ye’s exam.
In this way, should Xia Ye underperform
He would be conveniently
No, can’t say it, can’t say it.
He had been named an outstanding principal by the Education Committee for ten consecutive years!
He had intended to find a set of existing senior year exams for her, but after careful consideration, Tian Hanwen realized that they were either too difficult or didn’t cover all the necessary knowledge points.
There wasn’t a suitable set for Xia Ye’s situation.
He simply pulled suitable questions from 10 sets of papers, crafting a specialized set just for her.
It was four pages in all, with a total score of 400 points, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, languages, English, and biology, which could be completed in one morning.
The difficulty was very low; even students from regular classes could easily score around 350 points.
Of course, his expectations for Xia Ye weren’t so stringent.
Just before the exam started, he’d said that as long as she could answer enough for 100 points, she would be arranged to join the senior year in the afternoon.
Xia Ye agreed.
Now, in the immense tiered classroom, only the sounds of Xia Ye writing briskly on the paper and Tian Hanwen pacing back and forth could be heard.
Xia Ye supported her chin with one hand, her expression indifferent and wild.
On the other hand, Tian Hanwen was extremely anxious.
He noticed that this young lady was left-handed and wrote at a leisurely pace.
At this speed, there was no way to finish before the end of the exam!
Moreover, her handwriting looked like little bugs wriggling and crawling, making him itch all over.
He couldn’t help but click his tongue, “Yeye, your handwriting is…”
Xia Ye thought he was expressing doubt and earnestly explained, “I really am left-handed, I can’t write with the right.”
Tian Hanwen suppressed the urge to tease her.
Why be so modest?
You can’t write with your left hand either!
It was 11:25, with the last five minutes of the exam remaining, when Xia Ye finished just two pages.
Just as she began the third page, Tian Hanwen couldn’t resist picking up the first two pages and comparing them against the answers.
With a 50% correct rate on the first two pages, Tian Hanwen was taken aback.
It was better than he had expected.
It seemed that although slow, being steady and methodical was a strategy in itself.
He picked up a pen and tallied the points to find that it added up exactly to 100 points!
Incredible.
Tian Hanwen’s eyes brightened as his gaze fell on the first multiple-choice question of the third page that Xia Ye was about to write.
Only one minute remained.
The answer was A!
Hurry and write it down!
One more right answer would make it 105 points!
Inwardly, he was cheering for Xia Ye, and then saw her pen begin what appeared to be the first stroke of an ‘A’.
As she was about to add the second stroke, she suddenly made a sharp turn and wrote a ‘B’ instead…
Em…
And perhaps it was just his imagination, but Tian Hanwen thought he saw Xia Ye glance in his direction before she wrote, her lips curving into a slow smile…
