The gigolo kept by the matriarch turned out to be the heir to a wealthy family.

Chapter 129 Wish you good luck

Looking at Cai Tongxin's worried face, Yun Xinru couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

Yun Yao, did you see that? This is the level of your Beijing Normal University! Beijing Normal University wasn't this easily defeated in previous years, what happened this year? Could it be because of you, this jinx?

With that thought in mind, Yun Xinru quickened her pace.

"First place goes to Yun Xinru from Imperial University!"

"Second place, Liu Fangfang from Beijing Finance and Trade."

"Third place..."

The host's voice rang out again, followed by thunderous applause.

"Yun Xinru!"

"Yun Xinru!"

In no time, Yun Xinru's name resounded throughout the entire stadium.

She herself humbly expressed her gratitude to everyone.

Looking at the dazzling Yun Xinru and then at the dejected Cai Tongxin, the teachers and students of Beijing Normal University were anxious.

"Principal, what's wrong with Cai Tongxin? She's been in great form, so why is she behaving like this on the field?" Mi Jishan asked in a deep voice.

Luo Yu hesitated for a moment, then said very nervously, "Maybe...maybe it was a mistake."

He didn't know what to say; Cai Tongxin was clearly acting strangely!

"Principal, I think the most important thing right now is to let the substitutes play. If this continues, Cai Tongxin will completely disgrace our Beijing Normal University!" a teacher leading the team said sternly.

Luo Yu was well aware of this principle, but he didn't want to substitute Cai Tongxin in the first game, as that would be unfair to her.

If they knew that Luo Yu was still thinking about how to be fair, they would definitely be furious. The capable should take the lead, and Cai Tongxin doesn't have that ability, so why waste her time! Isn't this just making Beijing Normal University a laughing stock at this year's exchange meeting?

But if the principal doesn't speak up, there's nothing they can do no matter how anxious they are.

"Second round, Chemistry. Students, you need to build a reactor based on this chemical equation within half an hour," the host announced the topic again.

This time, Cai Tongxin did take action, but it would have been better if she hadn't done anything at all.

Her first step was to mix all the solids and liquids on the table together.

Then... she raised her hand.

"Completed in the fastest time, Cai Tongxin from Peking University."

As soon as the host finished speaking, a testing personnel came on stage. After conducting an assessment, they shook their heads at the host.

"Peking University of China, zero points!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter, while Cai Tongxin looked wronged and kept her head down without saying a word.

Luo Yu: "..." This is too abnormal!

You should know that Cai Tongxin was a student praised by all the teachers at Peking University. How could she act so recklessly at such a serious moment!

"I'm going to find the judges! Replace Cai Tongxin!" Luo Yu was clearly also angry and finally made up his mind.

When Cai Tongxin saw Luo Yu leave the field, she hurriedly ran over, looking apologetic.

"Principal, I'm sorry, I really don't know how." Cai Tongxin looked very remorseful.

After all, she was a girl, and it was in a public place with thousands of eyes watching, so Luo Yu couldn't say anything.

"It's alright, you did your best. Go and rest now, I'll have Yun Yao take your place." With that, she hurriedly walked towards the judges' table.

Cai Tongxin looked at Luo Yu's slightly unsteady back and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Principal, I'm truly sorry, but a school like Beijing Normal University, which exists in name only, is destined to be eliminated eventually. It doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later.

Upon seeing Luo Yu arrive, the judges politely asked, "Principal Luo, this is only the second round, are you already changing the candidate?"

Luo Yu nodded firmly and signed his name.

Although Yun Yao was sitting in a corner, she could see every move made by anyone on the field.

She also saw through Cai Tongxin's seemingly clever little tricks.

Sigh, I thought I could rest a little longer, but I didn't expect Cai Tongxin to be so impatient.

Did you think two zeros could lower the average score of Beijing Normal University? Ha, how naive!

Yun Yao stood up and slowly walked towards the field.

"Look, isn't that Yun Yao!"

"It's her! What's she doing here? Judging by her appearance, she must be a substitute player from Beijing Normal University, right?"

"Hahaha, yeah! This is going to be interesting! Someone who only knows how to tinker with those old gadgets actually dares to participate in this competition? This is a test of comprehensive abilities!"

The audience was constantly jeering and cheering, all expressing their anticipation for a good show.

Luo Yu, back in his seat, also looked extremely grim. From the moment Cai Tongxin left the stage, he knew that their Beijing Normal University was doomed.

He regretted agreeing to Yun Yao's request. They were right; why was someone who was focused on archaeological research getting involved in this mess?

On the other hand, Mijisan and his group were all incredibly excited, practically ready to shout through a megaphone.

"Alright, aren't you ashamed enough?! Sit down!" Luo Yu shouted sternly.

Ge Xiaoxiao was a little confused, so she turned to Luo Yu and asked, "Principal, how did we lose face? Just you wait and see, our Beijing Normal University will definitely take first place this time!" After saying that, she joined the cheering squad for Yun Yao again.

"Goddess! Keep it up!"

"Yun Yao, you can do it!"

……

"For the third session, please look at the big screen. These are the data from last year's international financial crisis. Please analyze them in conjunction with your theoretical knowledge."

As expected of a competition that determines the life and death of universities, the difficulty level is indeed high!

The room fell silent as soon as the question was posed.

Such a specialized question would be completely incomprehensible to anyone who isn't a finance major, so many people are already considering whether to abstain.

In the end, those who remained on the field were all students majoring in international finance, though not entirely.

And... Yun Yao.

"Sigh, at a time like this, why is Yun Yao still being so stubborn!" Luo Yu sighed repeatedly.

The rest of the people all began to write furiously, vying to hand over their answers.

Yun Yao was no exception, but... in everyone's eyes, she simply scribbled a few words on the paper, crumpled it up, and then slowly handed the crumpled paper to the referee.

The wait for the results was undoubtedly agonizing, with the players pacing anxiously back and forth.

Yun Xinru walked up to Yun Yao, who was scribbling with a pen, and said in a sarcastic voice, "Sister, how did you answer just now? It must have been really difficult for you. An archaeology student, having to answer a question from our finance department, you must have racked your brains!"

Seeing that Yun Yao did not respond, Yun Xinru's voice rang out again after a moment's pause.

"Oh dear, look at my memory! My sister is a genius who studies both archaeology and finance! How could she not answer such a simple question!"

Yun Yao raised her eyes and was speechless at Yun Xinru's smug face.

That unlucky kid deserves a beating!

Yun Yao threw down her pen, stepped closer to Yun Xinru, and a ghostly voice rang in her ear.

“Yun Xinru, I hope you can speak to me in this tone until the very last moment.”

Yun Yao patted her shoulder lightly, her tone dismissive.

"Good luck."
