Chapter 793: It Was Him Again
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huo Yao received a call from Principal Yu the next day after the final results of the exam were released. He asked her to come back to school for some filming. Also, the Education Bureau wanted to present her with an award, certificate, and banner for becoming the top scholar.
After all, only one person could come first each year. Now that the honor had fallen on City S, they had to reward Huo Yao for her astounding performance.
Song Ning and Huo Jinyan were invited to the school as well. Since they were the top scholar’s parents, the Director of the Education Bureau chatted with them briefly and lauded them.
Yi Lianfan also came for the filming.
However, Yi Lianfan did not seem happy.
Huo Yao pinned her school name tag on her chest as she glanced at Yi Lianfan. “Are you in such low spirits because you aren’t the top scholar?”
Yi Lianfan frowned. “I lost by one mark!”
If it were five marks, he could have consoled himself. Since it was just a one mark difference, it was hard for him to accept the defeat.
Just yesterday, he was thankful that Huo Yao was not in the Science faculty, but he ended up coming second still.
“Who was ranked first?” asked Huo Yao as she raised her brow.
“Cheng Jie,” said Yi Lianfan listlessly.
Huo Yao nodded and said, “It’s him again. He’s good.”
Yi Lianfan smiled sadly. “I know right. I am so depressed.”
The Dean came over to tell them that the filming would commence right away, so they stopped the conversation.
The filming was mainly about saying something motivating and sharing her experience. Since they were going to use the video to promote the school on public television, all the lines were provided by the television station.
Huo Yao finished filming 30 minutes later. Principal Yu was waiting outside. He beamed and waved at her when she walked over.
The two of them walked out to the corridor and chatted.
“Congratulations, Top Scholar.” Principal Yu sighed in his heart.

A year ago, Huo Yao wasn’t a student at No.1 Middle School yet.
Now, she stood first with full marks. No one else had ever obtained full marks in years.
Huo Yao nodded slightly and thanked him.
Principal Yu turned his head sideways and glanced at Huo Yao before he said, “Now that your results are out, a lot of schools must be calling you offering placement. You are probably going to Tsing University, right?”
Although Tsing University was the number one college in the country, there were a few other universities that were equally good. After all, every college had different culture and faculties, so there were plenty of choices out there.
“Yes, I will probably be going to Tsing University,” replied Huo Yao.
Principal Yu felt relieved. He had simply asked because Tsing University kept calling to ask about it. He pondered before he asked. “Oh yes. Have you decided on your faculty?”
“Biology,” answered Huo Yao without hesitation.
She was not interested in the other subjects, but she always wanted to learn more about the human genome.
Principal Yu raised his brow. “Was it because Prof Zhao spoke to you about joining the faculty?”
The stupid old geezer even refused to answer Principal Yu’s phone for a period of time. Principal Yu only found out later that Prof Zhao had blacklisted him.
It was simply ludicrous.
Huo Yao smiled. “I always wanted to do Biology.”
Principal Yu nodded. He thought about the conversation he had with Zhao Lian about him taking in a disciple and said, “Prof Zhao has a very good impression of you. Do well when you get there. If you can learn from him, it will serve you well in the future.”
Huo Yao acknowledged gently without taking it to heart.
