"Last week, the school's official website announced a national quiz contest. It seems like it's going to be a big one. It will start with the city level heats, move on to the provincial level, and then the national level. The top three contestants will represent the country in the international quiz contest."
Meng Ying took out her phone as she spoke. She quickly logged into the school forum and found the post. "Here it is."
"The online registration period will close in two days. I think you should sign up for this contest. Since it's a national quiz contest, there are a lot of experts, so don't expect to win first place. But if you can pass the city level heats, it will be enough to prove your ability."
Huo Yao's eyes landed on Meng Ying's phone. She glanced at it before lying back on the table lazily. "I'm bored. I'm not interested."
Meng Ying's lips twitched. She pushed Huo Yao's arm and said, "Sister Big Shot, this is the best way to clear your name. It would be a pity if you miss it."
Huo Yao yawned and closed her eyes. "Then let's miss it."
She did not need to clear her name.
Meng Ying could only sigh quietly as she looked at Huo Yao's lazy deskmate who did not care about anything.

Huo Yao was called to Chen Yu's office during the second period.
Chen Yu looked at the obedient Huo Yao and her usually cold and stern face relaxed. "Are you interested in the National Quiz Contest?"
Huo Yao was stunned. She looked at Chen Yu quizzically.
"Since you have just transferred, I didn't recommend you to take part in the quiz. But since you signed up, I won't try to dissuade you. I just hope that you can spend more time studying. After all, you are in the third year of high school. It's an important year for you to change your life."
Chen Yu said in a sincere tone.
Huo Yao opened her mouth to say that she had not signed up for the quiz. She suddenly recalled how Meng Ying had tried to persuade her to sign up this morning. After a few seconds of silence, she acknowledged softly.
But she quickly asked Chen Yu softly. "Miss Chen, how much is the prize money for the first place?"
Chen Yu, "???"
She felt as though she was hallucinating.
Huo Yao noticed the strange expression on Chen Yu's face and immediately understood what was going on. She looked a little spirited before she said, "I'm going back to class."
Chen Yu: "..."
Chen Yu snapped out of her trance and said to Huo Yao just before she stepped out of the office, "Although there's no prize money, you will be guaranteed a place in Tsing University. If you win an international award, you will have a bright future ahead of you."
Tsing University was one of the top three universities in the country. Many people would do anything to get into Tsing University. Furthermore, there was a limit to the number of students admitted each year. If one could get a recommendation, it would be equivalent to having a ticket to be exempted from the entrance exams. It would definitely be more prestigious than a few hundred thousand or even a few million yuan.
Huo Yao's shoulders drooped even more when she heard the homeroom teacher's words. She replied in a muffled voice without turning her head and stepped out of the door.
Chen Yu frowned as she watched Huo Yao's disappearing figure. Why did she feel that Huo Yao had signed up for the prize money instead of the guaranteed spot?
But as soon as this thought came to her, she laughed at herself.
