“Han Zhengxiu.”

“Here!”

Yan Xiaoju gestured at Han Zhengxiu to cheer him on. Gu Qingchen nodded at Han Zhengxiu with a smile. Han Zhengxiu winked at Gu Qingchen and Yan Xiaoju with a determined look in his eyes. Then, he immediately went up to the high platform and stood there, waiting for Jiang Yi to assign him into his class.

Director Jiang looked at the list of names and then looked at Han Zhengxiu.

“I heard that in this interview, there is a rare talent for sophistry. Even the dean of our Department of Law praised you. You are indeed a talent!”

The smile on Director Jiang’s face was very strange. Gu Qingchen frowned slightly and felt that something was wrong.

Han Zhengxiu was not in a hurry and was not modest. He just said, “Director Jiang, may I know what department I am in?”

He did not answer Director Jiang’s question. Instead, he asked about his class.

Director Jiang paused for a moment before saying, “Han Zhengxiu, Department of Law.”

“Yes, Director.”

After saying that, Han Zhengxiu came down and walked to Gu Qingchen’s side. His little face darkened. “Don’t talk to Director Jiang too much. I know what they’re going to do. We’ve become targets.”

Yan Xiaoju was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted. “No wonder those students’ expressions are so strange. It looks like our future life is not going to be easy.”

Gu Qingchen, on the other hand, found Hongfeng School very interesting. The school was deliberately pushing the freshmen into the center of the storm. Even the principal’s words were meaningful.

She thought that the assessment of the freshmen would have ended during the interview. She did not expect that the interview would only be an appetizer. After they entered the school, it would be the main event.

However, he did not know what these senior students would do to the new students. He also did not know if these new students would be able to endure the “torture” of the senior students.

Very soon, it was Yan Xiaoju’s turn. Yan Xiaoju was assigned to the Department of Medicine. It was said that during the interview, Yan Xiaoju had stated that she wanted to be a doctor in the future, so she was assigned to Department of Medicine.

Then, it was Gu Qingchen.

When he called Gu Qingchen, Director Jiang paused for a moment before he started to size up Gu Qingchen. He stared at Gu Qingchen for a long time.

Everyone knew that the longer one stayed on the stage, the greater the chance of being remembered by the seniors below.

At this time, being remembered by others was not a good thing.

Gu Qingchen did not read Jiang Yi’s thoughts because she did not want to waste it. From Jiang Yi’s name and appearance, Gu Qingchen could roughly guess why Jiang Yi would stare at her for so long.

Needless to say, Jiang Yi and Jiang Zhong should be brothers. However, Gu Qingchen did not expect that a person like Jiang Zhong would have a brother who was a teacher.

Moreover, he was a teacher at Hongfeng Elite School.

One had to know that anyone who could be a teacher here was not simple. At the very least, their individual abilities were very strong.

Jiang Yi seemed to have realized that his mind had wandered. He coughed lightly and then said, “Gu Qingchen, your specialty is traditional Chinese medicine. I heard that during the interview, your medical skills won the admiration of all the teachers. Even our strictest teacher, Mr. Meng, was full of praise for you.”

As soon as Jiang Yi opened his mouth, many seniors immediately looked at Gu Qingchen, as if they wanted to see through Gu Qingchen.

Gu Qingchen naturally felt the probing gazes from different directions. She had no choice. Jiang Yi did this because he wanted Gu Qingchen to attract everyone’s attention.

“Director Jiang, can I pick my department and class that I want?”

Gu Qingchen did not answer Jiang Yi’s question. Instead, she asked him a question.

Generally speaking, students’ departments were divided according to their specialties. This was because it was more reasonable and allowed the students to fully utilize their specialties.

Jiang Yi did not get angry when he heard Gu Qingchen’s words. Instead, he smiled, “Our Hongfeng School is very respectful of the students’ wishes. However, during the interview process, we only discovered your expertise in Chinese medicine. According to the school’s arrangement, you were assigned to the Department of Medicine.”

Indeed, Hongfeng School respected the students’ wishes very much. Otherwise, they would not have assigned Yan Xiaoju to the Department of Medicine. However, if Gu Qingchen were to stand here and express that she wanted to choose a department on her own, she would definitely become a target.

One had to know that since the establishment of Hongfeng Elite School, only one person had ever done such a thing and that person was not afraid at all. Gu Qingchen was the second person to do so.

Even Principal Lu took a few more glances at Gu Qingchen. Initially, Principal Lu did not think highly of Gu Qingchen’s medical skills. After all, there were many people who knew medical skills in Hongfeng Elite School.

However, Gu Qingchen was standing here at this moment, and she suggested that she wanted to choose her own department. Just this little bit of courage alone was worthy of him taking a few more glances at her.

Thinking back, the was one person who dared to say such words before.

He did not expect that a few years later, another person would stand here and say the same words and do the same thing.

Interesting.

Hehe, this girl was interesting.

Jiang Yi was very happy to see the current situation. He knew that Gu Qingchen would destroy herself even if he did not take any action.

“I don’t know, Gu Qingchen. Which department do you want to choose?”

Gu Qingchen stood there and thought for a while. She did not choose the Department of Medicine because she had learned medical skills from her master, so there was no need for her to spend time and energy on it.

After being reborn, her experience and outlook became different. Gu Qingchen only felt that she needed a lot of knowledge to enrich herself.

Yan Xiaoju was extremely nervous down there. She grabbed Han Zhengxiu, who was equally nervous, and asked anxiously, “Han Zhengxiu, what’s wrong with Qingchen? Oh no, she’s been on stage for so long. She must have been memorized by those seniors.”

Han Zhengxiu also frowned. “I don’t know what she’s doing either. But no matter what she’s up to, she must be targeted now. It seems that our lives will not be peaceful from now on.”

Yan Xiaoju nodded, but her gaze was firm. “I don’t care. If they dare to lay a hand on Gu Qingchen, I will not let them off.”

“I won’t let them off either.”

Han Zhengxiu and Yan Xiaoju were both prepared to fight with the seniors at any time. Meanwhile, An Ge, who was not far away, was completely stunned when he saw Gu Qingchen on stage.

Gu Qingchen?

Why was Gu Qingchen at Hongfeng’s orientation?

What was going on? Who could tell him!

An Ge always remembered the time when Gu Qingchen looked down on him and exposed his background. Back then, he had proudly told Gu Qingchen that he had been accepted by Hongfeng and that only the most outstanding people could enter Hongfeng.

And at this moment, Gu Qingchen was also standing there. To An Ge, it was as if someone had slapped his face.

At the same time, An Ge was worried. He had come to Hongfeng to walk a better path in the future. No one here knew him, and he could reinvent himself.

But he had never expected that not only Han Zhengxiu, but even Gu Qingchen had come.

Now, he could only hope that Gu Qingchen’s arrival would not hinder his path.

After thinking for a moment, An Ge walked over to Han Zhengxiu’s side and asked directly, “Han Zhengxiu, why are you guys here in Hongfeng?”
