Chapter 1851: Ranked First in the Cohort

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Soon, the semester ended and everyone got fairly good results. As usual, Qiao Mei was ranked first in her cohort, Wu Duo was also ranked first in the engineering faculty, as was Wang Wei. Li Xue was slightly weaker than them, but she still managed to get second place.

Qiao Mei did not care about Xie Jings results, but Li Xue was very nosy. Xie Jing had many “admirers”, so it was not difficult to find out about his results.

“Hey! Do you know? Xie Jing is actually also from the agriculture faculty! Moreover, he’s actually the top student in the third year! All the professors have high hopes for him!” Li Xue said.

“You mean you only just know that he’s from the agriculture faculty. I’ve already seen his name among the list of outstanding students in the faculty,” Qiao Mei said disdainfully.

“Then why isn’t he in the same faculty compound as you? I thought the entire agriculture faculty studied in the same location!” Li Xue said.

“The third year students had to start working on experiments. There’s an experimental field where all the third-year agriculture students attend their classes. You’ve already been here for half a year, so why don’t you know anything? Isn’t it your favorite thing to indulge in gossip?” Qiao Mei asked.

“l don’t have time this year! I can only gossip with others after the exams! You don’t know how thick my books are! I think if I can’t find a job after graduation, I can go to the construction site to carry bricks. Every time I go to class, I have to carry a ‘brick’ with me. It’s so uncomfortable! My arm strength has improved greatly in the past six months,” Li Xue said.

“That’s a good idea. If you really have nowhere to go, you can go to my factory to move the goods around. There’s definitely a position waiting for you at my factory!” Qiao Mei teased.

“No way! I’m going to the hospital to be an angel in white. If you get sick in the future, I’ll be your doctor!” Li Xue said excitedly.

“No, no, no! With your results, it’s hard to imagine what kind of doctor you’ll become after graduation. Don’t send me to my death,” Wu Duo said with a laugh.

“You jinx! My results are not that bad!” Li Xue said.

“We’re all ranked first place in our cohorts. You’re the only one ranked second. You should feel embarrassed! If you’re not ranked first in your cohort next semester, you have to treat us to a meal!” Wang Wei said.

“I… I just made two mistakes in the multiple-choice questions… It’s still not certain who will be ranked second next year! Let’s have a bet! Whoever comes in last among us next year will buy the rest a meal at the most expensive restaurant in the capital! We’ll order eight dishes!” Li Xue said boldly and Wang Wei and Wu Duo accepted her challenge.

“The three of you can bet on it. I’ll definitely get first place every year. I’ll just turn up for the meal,” Qiao Mei said proudly.

The three of them lowered their heads in unison. Their earlier fighting spirit immediately disappeared without a trace. Who could have more consistent results than Qiao Mei? They did not know how Qiao Mei’s brain worked or how she could be so smart. It was as if she had a photographic memory. As long as she read something once, she could memorize the contents.

“Li Xue, I’ve already talked to my aunt. When you’re free, you can go and report to the hospital. Someone from their side will bring you in,” Qiao Mei said.

“Really? Thank you so much! I’ll go tomorrow! I’ll definitely be hardworking and learn diligently!” Li Xue said excitedly.

“It’s a small matter. It’s the best thing if you can study hard,” Qiao Mei said.

“l promise to complete the mission!” Li Xue said happily.

During this holiday break, Wu Duo and the others were all very busy. Wu Duo had applied to become a volunteer at Qiao Mei’s factory so that he could learn mechanical repair and design from his father. Wang Wei did not keep idle either. He was helping his family with their business and Qiao Mei had given them a share of the popcorn business. Wang Wei could be considered to be working for Qiao Mei now.

Qiao Mei was the only one who could bask leisurely in the sun at home. It was hot in summer and she really did not want to go out. Every day, she hid inside the courtyard to slack off. When Deng Fan had some free time, he went to Lian City to take a look at her house there and find a few people to do some superficial renovations first.

Xia He was left alone at home, so she decided to move to Qiao Mei’s place for a few days.

“Aren’t you busy these two days?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

“The busiest period is over. It’s the school holidays so I have more time now,”

Xia He said wearily..
