CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56 OLYMPIC COMPETITION

Evening, Rong Family.

Rong Zhi walked in and saw the Rong family father and son sitting on the sofa, the atmosphere heavy.

After changing her shoes, she went straight upstairs.

Rong Qichuo, irritated to the point of vomiting blood in the morning, got even more infuriated seeing her like this, wanting to raise his voice to call someone, but Rong Xian’an beside him coughed heavily twice.

Rong Qichuo pursed his lips, looking quite upset.

Once Rong Zhi’s figure disappeared from sight, Rong Qichuo looked up and frowned, asking Rong Xian’an, "Dad, do you really want to accept Grandpa’s proposal and let Rong Zhi enter the company?"

Before Rong Zhi went to school, Rong Fangjun had approached Rong Xian’an to discuss Rong Zhi’s inheritance distribution.

Now that Rong Zhi was back, and being a male, he naturally had a share in the Rong family’s assets, something that troubled Rong Qichuo greatly.

Originally, the property belonged to him and his sister, suddenly to be divided by a rustic who returned after eighteen years, which anyone would find unbearable.

"No rush," Rong Xian’an analyzed seriously and methodically, "letting him enter the company is your grandfather’s demand, but whether he can have a foothold in the company still depends on his ability."

"And your uncles and aunts are not easy to deal with either."

Hearing this, Rong Qichuo fell silent.

Rong Zhi’s ability?

Ha, what ability does he have? Ignorant, good-for-nothing, a complete joke.

Rong Xian’an had a point, even if Rong Zhi could enter the company, being recognized was another matter, not to mention dealing with the uncles and aunts.

They were certainly not easy to get along with, Rong Qichuo suffered losses at their hands when he first entered the company.

If someone as outstanding as him could suffer losses, it’s even more likely for someone as messed up as Rong Zhi.

Rong Qichuo’s lips curved into a vaguely smiling expression, his mood finally calming after a day of annoyance.

He quietly awaited the sight of Rong Zhi being driven out in disgrace, face completely lost.

...

Misty morning, the east brightening.

Rong Zhi opened the car door, preparing to get out, and Yao Guang on the driver’s seat took out an oiled paper bag from the drawer.

"Third Young Master, I noticed you don’t eat breakfast in the morning, so I bought you some buns, would you like to try them?" Yao Guang said.

He had just been transferred recently to be Rong Zhi’s driver, originally no one wanted this job, but knowing the Third Young Master to some extent, he volunteered.

Seeing that he never ate breakfast for several days in a row, Yao Guang took the initiative to bring some, feeling quite uneasy when handing it over.

Fortunately, the Third Young Master merely glanced at him for a few seconds, then thanked him and accepted the breakfast.

Yao Guang: "No need to thank me! You should hurry to class, I’ll pick you up after school."

Rong Zhi acknowledged and got out of the car.

Sitting in the car, Yao Guang scratched his head, then suddenly smiled.

Actually, the Third Young Master... is quite easy to get along with, after all.

Rong Zhi stepped into the school through the morning mist, and before reaching the teaching building, Old Li called her to the office.

She turned her steps to the office, and before she could knock, the door swung open, and Rong Zhi glimpsed inside.

"Ah," she casually greeted, "Director Yao, Mr. Li."

The two teachers, equally stern-faced, seemed intimidating.

Rong Zhi remained completely unfazed, her hand in her pocket, lifting the breakfast bag, asking, "Do the teachers want some breakfast?"

Old Li’s stern expression broke in an instant, his mouth curving slightly: "What do you have?"

Rong Zhi opened the bag, "Buns and soy milk."

Old Li nodded, "Sure, come over and sit down."

Rong Zhi nodded and sat opposite Old Li, while Yao Xiaoshan, not feeling hungry, seized the moment to take a test paper and spread it on the table.

"Good results, do you want to consider the math Olympic Competition? With your level, getting into the national team shouldn’t be a problem." Yao Xiaoshan said.

Rong Zhi slowly drank the soy milk, her slender and cold white fingers sliding over the paper, lightly tapping twice, as if pondering.

Old Li, having stopped eating the bun, also persuaded, "To be honest, when Director Yao asked me about having you participate in the math Olympiad, I wanted to refuse at first. But after thinking about it, I decided to give you a chance, and unexpectedly, I discovered a surprise."

Rong Zhi said nothing.

Yao Xiaoshan paused, "Rong Zhi, it’s a great opportunity, winning in the math Olympiad could earn you direct admission qualifications."

"I heard from Yu that you often take leave, the teachers don’t object to your personal actions. But if you gain the admission qualification directly, you won’t have to attend classes for the rest of the semester."

Yao Xiaoshan didn’t spell it out, but Rong Zhi, being clever, understood the insinuation.

If she settled the college admission, she wouldn’t have to take the college entrance exam and would have more time to pursue her own affairs.

However, gaining the admission qualification wasn’t easy, she could only try her best.

Rong Zhi considered her next series of actions and didn’t reject Yao Xiaoshan’s proposal.

Old Li got so excited that he stopped eating the bun, pulling out an application form from the drawer for Rong Zhi to fill.

"There’s a school competition tomorrow, get ready." Old Li, in a good mood, reminded with a smile, "But don’t be nervous, just do your best."

Rong Zhi raised an eyebrow, calmly saying, "I will."

However, none of them had anticipated someone outside overhearing everything.

...

Rong Meng left outside the office somewhat dazed, her mind and heart filled with the conversation she had just overheard, not paying attention to the road until Zhou Zhongming called her to snap her out of it.

"Mr. Zhou." She softly called.

"What’s up? I asked you to fetch the test papers, why the expression, where are the papers?" Zhou Zhongming frowned.

Rong Meng’s face showed a moment of panic, her tone apologetic, "Sorry teacher, I forgot... There’s a teacher inside discussing with a student, I saw the door closed, so I hesitated to interrupt."

Zhou Zhongming, perplexed, said, "Talking doesn’t matter, just go in directly."

"No," Rong Meng bit her lower lip, "The teachers were discussing the math Olympiad, I heard Mr. Li say... he let my brother, Rong Zhi, participate in the Olympiad."

Zhou Zhongming originally contemplating tomorrow’s school competition, suddenly hearing a certain name associated with participating in the Olympiad, couldn’t help raising his voice: "Rong Zhi? Are you sure?"

Rong Meng smiled softly, "Yes, it was Mr. Li personally inviting him, I’m quite happy for my brother."

"Does Rong Zhi have the capability for the Olympiad?" Zhou Zhongming frowned deeply, remembering the girl in front was his student, subdued his tone and softened his expression: "You should head back to class, I’ll check it out."

Having achieved her goal, Rong Meng obediently nodded, watching Zhou Zhongming leave.

Rong Meng squinted her eyes, subtly sighing.

This brother of hers, how could he be so lucky, lucky enough to stir jealousy.

Clearly, a rustic from a mountain, no matter how he flies, can he become a dragon?

Ha.

Rong Meng walked away briskly.

Inside the office, Old Li and Yao Xiaoshan were discussing tomorrow’s school competition arrangements, when the office door was pushed open from outside.

Old Li turned and, seeing it was Zhou Zhongming, said, "Mr. Zhou, you’re here at just the right time. I plan to have you as the proctor, you..."

"Mr. Li," Zhou Zhongming interrupted him, sternly, "Did you let Rong Zhi participate in the math Olympiad?"

Old Li didn’t expect this question, but hearing Rong Zhi’s name, he smiled, "Yes, this student’s math scores are good, a promising candidate for the Olympiad."

Zhou Zhongming’s expression became indescribable, "But Mr. Li, have you seen Rong Zhi’s previous scores, his math being good is fake, Mr. Li, don’t be deceived by him."
