The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 281: 270 Norton University, Organizing Committee’s Statement Slaps Their Own Face [1 Update]

“`

Below that comment, there was an attached image.

It was a reply email from the ISC Organizing Committee, written in pure English.

The gist was that they had received the query, and the committee would investigate as soon as possible.

A competition jointly held by ten world-class universities and the International Science Center, involving high school students globally, would naturally be taken very seriously.

But of course, the ISC Organizing Committee would not simply conclude that a contestant had cheated just because someone raised a suspicion; an investigation would definitely be conducted.

At the same time, an announcement also appeared on the official website of ISC, stating that the fairness of the competition would be guaranteed.

At this, a new round of confrontations began among various global social media vendors.

Those who had been mocking before jumped out again.

[I said it, how could someone surpass Amanda by more than a hundred points within just a few minutes? Is that even human? Oh, I see, they must have exploited a system loophole.]

[I heard that Hua Country’s computer technology isn’t top-notch globally. They never seem to use computer technology for the right purposes, only know how to engage in crooked tricks. Now, they’ve been caught, haven’t they?]

[Can’t beat others and then accuses them of exploiting system bugs? Have some shame. Hua Country has many geniuses, so what? They aren’t allowed to get a streak of correct answers?]

[Well then, let’s wait for the notification to come out and see if there’s really a problem. If there’s no issue, you’ll be the ones without a face.]

After posting this comment, Teng Yunmeng pointed at the various language responses, her baby face crumpling with anger.

“Zijin, look, these people are really swayed by the wind, talking about exploiting system loopholes. Who doesn’t know that ISC is an international competition watched by many parties?”

Ying Zijin glanced at it and was unconcerned. She nodded slightly, “Don’t worry, it’s not cheating.”

The ISC answer app’s technology was highly refined, and the organizing committee definitely hired computer professionals with high expertise.

But if someone really wanted to hack it, it wasn’t impossible.

However, that would be much more tiring than simply answering questions.

“Of course, it’s impossible.” Beside her, Feng Yue shrugged his shoulders, “Who would cheat and then take first place directly? Isn’t that just like a thief calling to catch a thief? That’s why I say those people on the foreign networks are truly foolish.”

Ying Zijin turned on her phone and glanced at the current rankings, already having an idea in her mind.

She planned to answer questions once a week. The more consecutive questions she got right, the higher the multiplier for her score would be by the end.

At that moment, Teng Yunmeng suddenly spoke up with a hint of wariness, “What are you doing here? Wasn’t the trouble you caused us last time enough?”

As Ying Zijin turned off her phone and turned around, she saw Xiu Yan walking towards them in high heels.

Being the eldest young lady of the Xiu Family, Xiu Yan always paid great attention to her demeanor.

Even when directly questioned so bluntly by Teng Yunmeng, a suitably graceful smile remained on her face, although she was slightly surprised, “Are you referring to the incident at the KTV last time? I didn’t expect the Feng Family to be so bold as to cause trouble in the private room I booked.”

“But now Feng Hua’s faction has fallen, which serves as your revenge.”

Teng Yunmeng didn’t believe a word of Xiu Yan’s pretense and coldly snorted.

She knew that the KTV incident must be related to Xiu Yan, but she had no proof.

Not to mention, the Xiu Family held significant power and could indeed suppress people in certain areas.

Xiu Yan moderated her smile, her gaze falling on the girl, “Classmate Ying, next month there will be an international calligraphy exhibition coming to the Imperial Capital. They are exhibits sent from various countries.”

“You have such good penmanship, and although you’re not a member of the Hua Country Calligraphers Association, you should still visit such an exhibition. I have a ticket for you. With this ticket, you can enter the inner area.”

“No need.” Ying Zijin didn’t even look at it and said indifferently, “I have one.”

Xiu Yan was slightly taken aback, then smiled again, “Classmate Ying, the ticket I’m giving you is one from inside our association, not the kind you can buy.”

She placed the ticket down anyway, “Regardless, I’ve given the ticket to you, remember to come when the time comes.”

As if recalling something, Xiu Yan mentioned casually, “I heard that the association also sent several works of master calligraphers. Classmate Ying, you can learn a thing or two when you’re there. I can also introduce you to a director from our association, and perhaps you could even join it.”

After that, Xiu Yan left.

Ying Zijin didn’t even look at the ticket and casually handed it to Feng Yue since he seemed interested.

She indeed had tickets; Sheng Qingtang had given her several.

They said that some of her calligraphy was going to be displayed at the exhibition and that she should take a look for herself.

But Sheng Qingtang knew that she wasn’t interested in these things, so he didn’t expect her to go.

Feng Yue, being a straightforward guy, also sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat amiss, “Is Xiu Yan targeting you?”

Ying Zijin’s phoenix eyes narrowed, “Seems so.”

Feng Yue scratched his head, “But why? Although you’re prettier, smarter, and better at making money than she is, she’s the Xiu Family’s eldest daughter. What does she lack?”

Ying Zijin paused for a moment before speaking indifferently, “She’s not really targeting me.”

Feng Yue was even more puzzled, but he couldn’t figure out the reasoning.

After scratching his head again, he continued to work with Teng Yunmeng on constructing the small-scale physical mechanical device based on the blueprints.

While various schools were debating whether there had been cheating in the recent ISC online selection, Norton University remained unaffected and uninvolved in any of it.

Ever since Ying Zijin had used ancient medicine to improve his health last time, the vice-chancellor felt that his walking had become much lighter.

He arrived at the Admissions Department’s office, pushed the door open, and saw the Dean of Admissions looking at a computer.

Norton University’s Admissions Department was actually only responsible for recruiting students for S-level, SS-level, and some A-level colleges; other level colleges were not managed by the Admissions Department.

The Dean of Admissions was one of the few high-ranking officials who knew the vice-chancellor.

He hurriedly stood up, “Vice-Chancellor.”

The vice-chancellor walked over and saw a program from Hua Country on the computer screen.

Not understanding the language of Hua Country, he asked, “What is this?”

“This is an academic show made by Hua Country, featuring some high school students,” the Dean of Admissions explained, “I think there are a few good prospects in there we could recruit for our school.”

The vice-chancellor grunted in response, nodded, and started watching as well.

Until he saw a familiar face: “…”

With a “thump,” the vice-chancellor sat down on the ground.

The Dean of Admissions was startled and quickly helped him up, “Vice-Chancellor, are you alright?”

“No, no problem.” The vice-chancellor took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Just, just a little unsteady on my feet, I couldn’t help it.”

He was truly shocked.

Such a great Buddha, a person who had been part of the three-hundred-year history of the Ancient O Continent and had even left a name.

Just like that, he had actually gone to participate in an international academic competition for high school students???

Although they did indeed plan to select some students from those who made it to the ISC international finals to recruit for Norton University.

The vice-chancellor shakily took out his mobile phone, opened Norton University’s in-house chat app, and found his special care list.

[I saw you on TV. Why on earth would you participate in the ISC? What’s there to participate in? If you come over here, even the position of principal is yours.]

It took ten minutes before the other side replied.

[I noticed you were getting a bit bald last time. Do you want to buy some hair growth shampoo? I happen to have some here. Since we know each other, I can give you a discount? But remember to pay for the international shipping yourself.]

Vice-Chancellor: “…”

What a disturbance.

He shouldn’t have contacted this great Buddha.

The vice-chancellor wiped his sweat again and said, “These students are all quite good. We can send out invitation letters when the time comes, but whether they can enter colleges above S-level still needs to be tested.”

The Mechanical Department was actually a fairly normal major, but the content of the studies was different from other universities.

Norton University’s Mechanical Department would research new types of weaponry.

These new types of weapons didn’t exist outside, and there were even some weapons that looked like those shown in science fiction movies.

It was also because of the Mechanical Department that Norton University’s science and technology level was higher than the overall technological level of the world today.

The vice-chancellor was worried about the Alchemy Department and the Astrology System.

The Alchemy Department was okay, but the Astrology System didn’t even have enough people to form a class.

That was also inevitable; after all, there were too few people gifted in this area.

Unlike in the Ancient O Continent era, there were many Witch Sorcerers, and they could perform divinations themselves.

“I agree,” the Dean of Admissions concurred, and specifically pointed at a girl, “Vice-Chancellor, look at this student. She is really beautiful and has a high IQ. I must recruit her.”@@novelbin@@

The vice-chancellor remained expressionless, thinking bitterly in his heart.

The principal couldn’t even be persuaded to come, who would dare to recruit her?

The Dean of Admissions, unaware of the vice-chancellor’s inner thoughts, was quite optimistic, “I’ll check their information and record it, and then send out the invitations.”

Seven o’clock in the evening, Imperial Capital Hospital.

After class, Mu Yuxi went to visit Mu Weifeng with the butler.

Within a week, Mu Weifeng’s health had improved a lot, and he would be able to leave the hospital in a few more days.

This time, Sheng Qingtang was also there.

Seeing Mu Yuxi’s excited demeanor, Mu Weifeng also smiled, “Xiao Xi, what’s the matter?”

“The ISC organizing committee finally issued a statement,” Mu Yuxi said as she took off her backpack and handed her phone to him, “I said, our country must be the strongest.”

This was from the ISC’s official website, a fresh notification at six fifty.

[To all contestants and supervisors: After investigation by our technical staff, it has been shown that the contestant did not engage in any cheating behavior nor exploit any system loopholes and that the score is genuine, based purely on ability.

Mr. Danton Dole was specially invited to develop the answer app for this contest, please rest assured, contestants.]
