The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 749 - Chapter 749 Chapter 748 Is It Because of Me

Chapter 749: Chapter 748: Is It Because of Me? Chapter 749: Chapter 748: Is It Because of Me? When Sui Yuan saw the test papers and notes, he was both surprised and touched.

Mianmian always quietly did these things for them, appearing cool and aloof, indifferent to the extreme, but in reality, she was gentle and meticulous.

“Mianmian, this is a college exam paper set by Professor Geng Yuxiang! He’s participated in setting the questions for the college entrance exam several times. These sets of papers you got are really timely.”

Lu Mian, on the other hand, was unaware of this news; she just felt it would be helpful to Sui Yuan, so she did it.

“It wasn’t me who found the papers, it was Director Qi.”

Sui Yuan had a clear understanding, “Director Qi is willing to help, and that is because of you, so this is indeed your merit. But Mianmian, I heard you gave up your chance for a guaranteed admission. Is it true?”

Lu Mian laughed, “Why does everyone ask me this question? Is it so serious?”

Sui Yuan didn’t know what to say. To others, this was indeed a very serious matter, potentially affecting their entire future.

But for Lu Mian, it was like shopping; if she didn’t like the clothes in one store, she would simply go to the next, completely at ease.

Sui Yuan felt a bit regretful but respected her wishes.

After thinking it over, she tentatively asked, “Mianmian, are you considering Qing University because of me?”

“Hmm…” Lu Mian pursed her lips.

“You don’t want to go into the Physics Department because the Chinese Language and Literature major I’m attending is on another campus?”

“…”

Lu Mian stretched out her finger, with a beautifully clean fingertip, and poked Sui Yuan’s forehead, “Don’t overthink it, go to class.”

Lu Mian turned and walked away.

Feeling helpless, Sui Yuan shook his head and then bumped into Zhang Yanyan.

Zhang Yanyan reached out an Erkang hand, but couldn’t stop Lu Mian’s hurried footsteps. He seemed a bit downcast, “By convention, if Lu Mian doesn’t get the guaranteed admission, it would be my turn as the third-ranked to take her place.”

But that wouldn’t be fair to Lu Mian at all. What kind of big trouble had she gotten into for the school to outright refuse her?

After Sui Yuan returned to her seat, she sensed that the atmosphere around the seat in front was a bit tense.

She sat down with particularly small movements, very carefully shifting the textbook on her own desk backwards, afraid to touch Jiang Yingyue.

Jiang Yingyue was hanging her head down, writing something. Her mood worsened after knowing Sui Yuan was back.

The handwriting on her notebook became more and more messy.

Lu Mian was really over the top, whether she had offended the university or was focusing on romance. Heaven gave her such a good opportunity, yet she didn’t know how to cherish it.

It’s not like everyone can go to Qing University and Jing University, nor can everyone just smoothly get into a university through the college entrance exam.

Not cherishing an opportunity, is that fair to those who really strive hard? It would have been better if she hadn’t occupied such a spot in the first place; maybe the school could have offered another guaranteed admission spot to her.

Jiang Yingyue felt angry, and just then exam papers were passed forward; when she passed them on, she slapped them onto Sui Yuan’s desk with a loud smack.

Sui Yuan didn’t want to provoke her further and silently left one set of papers on her desk, continuing to pass the rest back.

Lu Mian stayed at school until the afternoon before she was picked up by a car.

This was a vehicle sent by the show’s crew. She was to participate as a challenger in the competition held that evening as a surprise entrant.

Since the main attraction of this type of show is the battle of wits, to prevent leaking of questions and the routinization of scripts, the show’s production team was very daring, opting for a live broadcast with on-the-spot drawing of questions and immediate results.

This was a true test of the contestants’ ability to perform on the spot; they had to have bright minds and also be especially clear-headed and rational.

Of course, if a contestant could add a bit of variety show charisma, they would become the most favored participant by the production team.

The program had already been running for several episodes with favorable market feedback. Apart from attracting numerous science and technology enthusiasts, it also drew many sponsors. Naturally, it also attracted many contestants who wished to embellish their resumes.

If she performed well and the show turned out to be spectacular, it would add luster to her reputation in both the academic world and her own personal fame.

Many contestants had their own objectives and had made substantial preparations.

Lu Mian was quite unique in that her only goal was to make Little Baldy happy.

Lu Mian was led to the resting area step by step.

This place was the resting spot for today’s newly joined challenge contestants, while the official team members were in a different room, leaving twelve people here.

Their task tonight was to pick any opponent from the twelve people and challenge them to a PK (Player Knockout).

If they won, the challenger could stay.

If they lost, the challenger would be out in one round, and the defending team member would score a point.

When Lu Mian arrived, there were already four people sitting there.

All four were young men.

They all seemed busy, some were quietly memorizing their tasks, some were continuously drinking water, and one was adjusting his clothes in front of the makeup table.

Lu Mian picked a sofa in the corner and sat down.

When the four men saw Lu Mian, they were all taken aback for a moment.

At first glance, they were amazed by her appearance, and at the second, they were frozen by the cold aura she exuded.

They quickly averted their gaze.

Her arrival broke the original silence among the four men, and someone whispered, “Should we go out and greet the director and the camera crew?”

Building a good relationship with the program’s team was also a way to score points.

“Forget about it; it’s no use. If you can win, win; if not, just go home. Anyway, I haven’t prepared anything. Perhaps those twelve contestants aren’t that great either.”

“That’s impossible. After all, they have competed in several rounds. I saw a few team members who performed very well, they are really clever.”

Soon after, another young man entered the resting area.

The moment the young man walked in, he took a dominant position, looked at the five people in the resting area, including Lu Mian, and asked, “You all are here to challenge, right? Me too, my name is Pei Wenda.”

After he finished, the other four men also naturally introduced themselves. When it was Lu Mian’s turn, she simply said, “Lu Mian.”

The five men froze again.

Having waited in the resting area for a while, the men started talking more among themselves.

Pei Wenda, out of curiosity, asked, “Have you all chosen your PK opponents yet?”

“No, I don’t know whom to choose. It feels like everyone is better than me. Why did my school send me? I feel like I’m just here to drag everyone down…”

“Since you’re here, just enjoy the competition!” Pei Wenda spoke more steadily than the others and generously shared some points to pay attention to.

“Actually, the fact that the program team allows us to freely choose our opponents clearly means they want to eliminate the bottom-ranked contestants; if you want to stay, it’s actually easy to choose.”

After he spoke, someone shook their head.

“Those at the bottom are all girls, though; that doesn’t seem right…”

Pei Wenda smiled, “It’s an individual choice. The show itself is a competition of ability; everyone can understand that.”

His remarks quickly earned everyone’s favor, and the men had quite a good impression of him.

Meanwhile, Lu Mian remained quiet and did not say a word.

Soon, a staff member came over to coordinate the process.

“Which one of you six will go first?”
