Lu Xia was very confident about her score. Apart from a few vague answers about the arts questions, she had no problems with the rest of the exam. She had no problem passing the preliminary round.
A score of 138 was within her expectations for her to be ranked sixth.
Lu Xia smiled. She glanced at the results and was about to hand the phone back to her manager when a thought crossed her mind. She retracted her hand and swiped the screen gently.
She scrolled to the bottom of the list, but Huo Yao's name was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Xia frowned. Didn't she take the exam? Why was her name not on the list?
Did she... not pass the preliminary round?
Lu Xia's smile deepened at this thought. She knew it. How could someone with such a score make it to the top?
Lu Xia sneered softly. She inadvertently tapped on the top of the page. Just as she was about to hang her head and close the page, Huo Yao's name suddenly came into her view.
Huo Yao was in first place with 150 marks.
Lu Xia's smile froze. She instinctively tightened her grip on her phone.
How was this possible? How could she have scored full marks? How could she be in first place?
"Xiaxia, why do you look so pale? Are you tired from the rehearsal? "Seeing that her artist's expression was strange, the agent couldn't help but ask with concern.
Lu Xia's eyes flickered. She returned the phone to her manager as if nothing had happened and said gently, "I'm fine. Maybe I was too focused during the performance. I'm still in a daze."
Lu Xia's manager patted her on the shoulder. "Have a good rest here. I'll call you when the show starts."
"Okay. Thanks, Brother Tian," replied Lu Xia gently.
Lu Xia's manager was about to leave with her phone when she paused and turned to look at Lu Xia. "Oh yes, Xiaxia. There will be a Q&A session during the show. I'll talk to the director about your participation in the quiz contest. You can answer them when the time comes."
Lu Xia was stunned before she nodded.

Huo Yao had scored full marks in the preliminary test and successfully entered the next round of the city level heats. She was the only one among the dozens of middle schools in City S who had scored full marks.
Therefore, on the overall ranking of the National Quiz Contest's official website, she was firmly in first place. Even the score of the second place in the city was nine points lower than hers, which showed how solid her grasp of liberal arts and science knowledge was.
Meanwhile, at the City Education Association.
"A student from No.1 Middle School scored full marks in the preliminary test. He even solved Elder Zhang's tricky physics question. This student is really not simple."
The Secretary-General held a test paper in his hand and handed it to the chairman while praising it.
The chairman took the test paper and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. Then, he lowered his eyes and looked at the test paper.
He hadn't even looked at the answer, but just by looking at the characters, he was already pleasing to the eye.
"This calligraphy is not bad. It's grand and imposing, and the strokes are full of vigor. There's no unnecessary fancy or fancy touches between the strokes. Looking at the calligraphy is like looking at the person. This is a student with quite good self-restraint." The chairman was not stingy with his comment.
"Since she's an arts student, she should be more refined than a science student," said the Secretary-General with a smile.
