Chapter 527 Happened to Hear Her Name
The atmosphere became a little strange the moment he mentioned Qiao Nian''s name.
Qiao Chen despised the tea here and was unwilling to drink it.
But now that she had raised her cup again, she had to take a sip. She brushed her hair aside and
tucked it behind her ear, looking calm andposed. It was as if that name meant nothing to her.
Xu Xu''s reaction was the quickest. She snapped out of it quickly and frowned at the person who
brought it up. "Wang Heng, why did you have to mention her? Such a downer. Everyone''s happily
celebrating Chen Chen''s admission today, but you have to bring up this name that upsets her. Look,
now everyone''s unhappy."
Wang Heng was also a student of ss B. He was a cheeky, yful student whose results were
average. He had wooed Qiao Chen earlier on and had always bootlicked her. Even now, he still
liked her.
He leaned back in his seat nonchntly and propped an arm up. "I''m not trying to do anything. It
just came to mind."
He scanned the table and eventuallynded his gaze on a girl with thick sses. He asked
mockingly, "Wu Jie, aren''t you from ss A? Tell us about it, how did Qiao Nian do? She especially
took leave just to go to Qing University for the examinations, did she make it?"
It was a ss B gathering today, but Qiao Chen invited Wu Jie over.
She said it was just for a meal.
Wu Jie came without knowing that the other ss B students would be around. She thought that
Qiao Chen had asked her out individually. By the time she realized and wanted to leave, Qiao Chen
had already seen her and called out to her.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Now that everyone was looking at her and waiting for her response, she furrowed her brows and
pushed her sses upwards slightly. She answered hurriedly, "Uh... I heard she didn''t make it."
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito''s buzzing. One had to pay attention to hear her.
Her quiet voice went, "We didn''t see her when Chen Chen and I were in the ssroom waiting for
the interview. Most people who didn''t make it past the written segment would not be around for the
second round, so..."
Just as Qiao Nian set foot into the restaurant with Jiang Tingting, she heard someone saying her
name.
"Ah, you don''t have to be so tactful and long-winded about it. Essentially, Qiao Nian didn''t make it!"
Her jawline was cold as usual as she pulled her cap downwards slightly and looked up.
Eh?
Didn''t make it to what?
Wu Jie didn''t say it explicitly. She tried to be indirect about it, but her point was obvious enough. "I
think so. If she made it, our ss wouldn''t be so quiet about it. I think it''s likely that she did not
make it.
"It''s tough to get into Qing University, everyone there is the cream of the crop. I think Chen Chen is
the only one in Rao City who made it this year. I was eliminated in the second round, too."
Her results for the examinations were just all right at 500 marks. She managed to get through the
first round and was offered an interview for her choice department, the Physics Department.
However, she was unable to answer quite a number of questions asked by the Physics professor.
So, it was clear why she did not make it.
She wasn''t surprised by this oue. She didn''t think she would make it either, but she wanted to
give it a shot.
Though she hadn''t passed the interview round, she hadn''t rushed off immediately. She stayed in the
ssroom for a while more and heardter on that Qiao Chen had made it. She even heard a
candidate mention that Professor Cheng Wu of the Finance Department had a good impression of
her and personally invited her to consider the Finance Department as her minor.
Wu Jie couldn''t express her emotions. She was simply in envy. Of course, there was some
admiration and respect too; Qiao Chen was, after all, the person that every girl wished to be.
She was pretty, had a good family background, scored good grades, and was such a kind and
gentle person...
