CHAPTER 369: CHAPTER 369: THE STORM BEGINS

Gu Lingling grew more confident as she continued, having not taken a test for quite a while. Even though she repeatedly reminded herself before the exam that she was well-prepared, her past life’s inferiority complex still made her feel extremely nervous.

The invigilators were leaders from various departments of the transformer factory.

The exam hall was at the vocational school affiliated with the transformer factory, and the invigilators were also teachers from there.

The teacher was slightly surprised when he walked over and saw Gu Lingling’s handwriting. He hadn’t expected someone to write so well these days, especially a young girl.

So he couldn’t help but stand by her for a while longer.

He noticed that although the young girl wasn’t particularly fast at answering questions, she was getting most of them right.

The invigilating teacher couldn’t help but glance at Gu Lingling a couple more times, whispering a few words to another invigilator. The other teacher then circled around and also stood by Gu Lingling.

The handwriting was truly excellent, and her answers weren’t bad either.

’Bang, bang, bang...’ Gu Lingling looked up and realized that a man not far away had been caught cheating by copying notes, and the teacher knocked on the desk, asking him to hand over the notes, "I... didn’t..."

"If you hand it over now, you can continue answering questions," the invigilating teacher said, "And for the rest of you, if you have notes or similar materials, hand them over now for another chance. If we catch you later, you won’t even have the chance to take the exam."

Gu Lingling didn’t pay attention and buried her head back into the test.

She didn’t notice the cold sneer at the corner of Liu Miao’s mouth not far away.

"Half an hour left until the end of the exam," the invigilating teacher reminded.

Gu Lingling put down her pen, stretching her wrist. There was only one exam this time, but various types of questions were mixed together, and there was still a lot of content.

But fortunately, she knew everything, with only the last question left to answer.

The final question combined theory with practical situations at the transformer factory, and the person who came up with it was truly skilled.

Gu Lingling chuckled, recalling some things that Old Sir Gu had taught her, and began answering.

Suddenly, she felt something hit her, but it wasn’t obvious. Gu Lingling confusedly looked up, seeing everyone around her burying their heads in writing. She didn’t pay it any mind, assuming it was just her imagination.

The time was running out.

A while later, Gu Lingling heard a familiar voice, "Teacher."

She glanced at Liu Miao, noticing Liu Miao was staring at her excitedly.

Gu Lingling gave her a sidelong glance, thinking, what’s wrong with this guy?

"What is it?" The invigilating teacher walked over and asked.

"She brought cheat sheets. I just saw her cheat sheet fall out of her pocket," Liu Miao said, pointing to the scrap paper not far from Gu Lingling.

Gu Lingling lifted her head and stared coldly at her.

So it turns out that being hit just now wasn’t an illusion; Liu Miao must have thrown it.

Gu Lingling smiled faintly, looked at the somewhat smug Liu Miao, and lowered her head to continue answering her questions.

The invigilating teacher walked over, picked up the cheat sheet from the floor, and asked Gu Lingling, "Is this your cheat sheet?"

"No, it’s not, teacher." Gu Lingling shook her head, but her pen never stopped.

"It is hers. I saw it fall out when she pulled out her cheat sheet," Liu Miao asserted confidently.

Gu Lingling finished the last question, then reread her test paper. It was a pity that there was a question earlier she wanted to research after finishing, but she hadn’t expected Liu Miao to cause her trouble.

Gu Lingling thought for a moment, wrote down a possible answer she came up with, then looked up at Liu Miao, "Aren’t you taking the exam? Why are you staring at me?"
