With Ma Qiang’s endorsement, Zhang Tianxing became much more optimistic, as he had indeed put in sweat and effort before the exam.
Coupled with a perfect score for his coursework and having studied the key points highlighted by the teachers, after the exam, he had also compared answers with Tan Honghong. The beautiful Tan had said he should be fine with sixty points.
Zhang Tianxing’s optimism didn’t last for half a day before he heard the exclamations of his classmates.
“Did you guys know? A ‘Tiger Head Benz’ is parked in our school’s parking lot!”
“Really? How much does that Tiger Head Benz cost?”
“There are so many rich people. Do you think the owner is a teacher or a student at the school?”
“Without a doubt, it’s definitely not a student. But it’s not necessarily a teacher either. It could be a rich sugar daddy of some student.”
“Is it that exaggerated?”
“You have no idea. Although our school is an engineering institution with fewer females, there are still a few campus beauties. Haven’t you seen that on weekends, a line of campus beauties get into luxury cars and go out to meet their sugar daddies.”
“What you said makes so much sense. I wish I had a Tiger Head Benz in my dreams too.”
“Actually, what impresses me isn’t the Tiger Head Benz, but its license plate number, five eights. This number is too awesome. Just by looking at this license plate, you know the owner is no ordinary person.”
Shi Xingxing, standing nearby, could barely contain himself. These unworldly bumpkins, this wasn’t just any ordinary Tiger Head Benz, this was a custom-made Tiger Head Benz.
He had heard at the time that one custom Tiger Head Benz was equivalent to five ordinary Tiger Head Benzes. What kind of concept was that?
He hadn’t expected that even an ordinary Tiger Head Benz would cause such a stir on campus.
“Let’s go, don’t just stand here. Follow me for a bit.”
“Why? I’m busy.”
“Do me a favor, let’s go take a photo with the Tiger Head Benz. At least our school’s teaching building will be in the background, making others envious of me.”
“Alright, no problem. I’ll go with you right now. You can take a picture of me too, so I can upgrade my status. Tiger Head Benzes are easy to find, but a Tiger Head Benz with this number plate is truly magnificent.”
For a moment, the parking lot of Zhonghai University became a photo spot for students.
Zhang Ruofang from the school’s Youth League Committee office received a call from Dean Hou. “Little Zhang, could you check whose car this Zhong A88888 is and ask them to park it further away? It’s seriously affecting our teaching order by being parked in the school’s parking lot.”
Exactly, is having a Tiger Head Benz such a big deal? It’s parked right inside the school, isn’t that just asking for trouble? And the license plate number is so ostentatious.
Zhang Ruofang checked the vehicle information and couldn’t believe her eyes. That Tiger Head Benz actually belonged to Zhang Tianxing.
This Zhang Tianxing had left a deep impression on her, starting from the lewd whistle when they first met.
Then there was Zhang Tianxing’s aid to students, Zhang Tianxing had provided over ten work-study positions for the school’s impoverished students.
In this regard, Zhang Ruofang somewhat admired Zhang Tianxing. Then came "A Chinese Odyssey," which she had even assigned as homework in class, asking students to critique it.
She hadn’t expected that all of this was done by Zhang Tianxing.
She found it hard to truly understand this student of hers, Zhang Tianxing, but she knew that Zhang Tianxing’s net worth now far exceeded that of the school’s teachers.
Fortunately, Zhang Tianxing knew his limits and didn’t act arrogantly. Apart from occasionally skipping classes, she hadn’t heard of any other bad habits.
“Zhang Tianxing? I’m Teacher Zhang Ruofang from the Youth League Committee. Come to the school’s Youth League Committee office.”
Zhang Tianxing was puzzled when he received this call. What was going on?
If it were normal work arrangements, the tasks would be assigned to him through the student union, so why was he asked to go to the Youth League Committee alone?
He decided to go and see what was happening. Zhang Tianxing walked towards the school’s Youth League Committee.
This Teacher Zhang was truly unconventional; her previous assignment had resonated deeply with Zhang Tianxing.
Upon arriving at the Youth League Committee office, Zhang Ruofang directly said to Zhang Tianxing, “Move your car outside the school, or find a hidden spot. Don’t affect normal teaching activities.”
He knew coming here wouldn’t lead to anything good. Zhang Tianxing casually agreed.
“By the way, don’t move it now. Move it when there’s no one around. I have a meeting to attend shortly, so please input these exam scores into the system.”
She said this, pointing to a stack of exam papers on the desk. Recently, the academic affairs office had temporarily entrusted her with managing student grades as well. Fortunately, she had a strong helper.
“Alright! Mission guaranteed to be completed.” This was good news. He could check his own score.
Zhang Ruofang picked up some documents and left for her meeting. Hearing her footsteps fade away, Zhang Tianxing quickly found his own exam paper.
As soon as he saw the paper, Zhang Tianxing almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Who was so malicious to give him fifty-nine points? If they had given him fifty-five, he wouldn’t have said anything.
What did fifty-nine points mean? Would it kill them to give him one more point?
Zhang Tianxing angrily picked up the test paper and began to examine it.
“That’s not right. The teacher covered this question, and my answer is correct. Why was three points deducted here? It shouldn’t be.”
Zhang Tianxing quickly found the exam paper of the top student, Hu Yulin. “What the heck, full marks. Truly a top student.”
He didn’t have time to marvel. Zhang Tianxing flipped to that question.
His answer and Hu Yulin’s were almost identical. Hu Yulin got full marks, while he had three points deducted.
Moreover, there were signs of alteration on his score.
Someone is trying to set me up. But luckily, I’m lucky.
Zhang Tianxing directly picked up a pen, wrote “+3,” and changed fifty-nine points to sixty-two.
He was just that honest. The score should be this much, not a point more, and not a point less!
Zhang Tianxing finished the task in a flash. After thinking for a moment, he sent a text message to Teacher Zhang Ruofang.
“Task completed. Farewell!”
Zhang Tianxing went directly to the parking lot. Seeing that no one was around, he drove away.
Driving a luxury car felt great. The horsepower, the comfort, it was worth the price. Now Zhang Tianxing understood why luxury cars were so popular.
Putting aside everything else, it was just high-end, elegant, and stylish.
He decided to go see Yan Ruyu. She had mentioned that Wu Jiuping had been acting up again recently.
Zhang Tianxing thought, this Wu Jiuping was truly something. Stirring up trouble when he had nothing better to do.
He claimed to have fallen for Yan Ruyu. That was too far-fetched.
Zhang Tianxing had heard from others that Wu Jiuping was quite promiscuous. People like him only considered family interests.
It was unlikely he would pursue Yan Ruyu; all his actions were a performance.
Zhang Tianxing drove to the crayfish hot pot restaurant and parked the car outside.
Yan Ruyu walked out and saw the Tiger Head Benz, then looked at the license plate number.
“When did you buy a car? Such a great license plate? Why didn’t you take me with you to buy it?” The barrage of questions began.
“A parallel import that a friend was selling. I took it when I liked it. Plus, Guo Jiajia mentioned last time that the company needed a storefront for negotiations, so I bought this one. What do you think, does it have enough presence?”
Yan Ruyu nodded. “This way, it can live up to the reputation of Tianxing Investment Company. Otherwise, people might think your company is just a shell company.”
