The Substitute Bride: Indulged by the Obsessive CEO

Chapter 302: Surprise? Is It a Raise?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ji Man curled her lips after she posted the anonymous comment. She felt good.

What was so great about Tang Beibei? She was just a dancer who pranced around coquettishly on the internet. So tacky and despicable!

As a medical student, she should cultivate her character and study hard so she could become a good doctor.

Ji Man thought about all the nonsense that Tang Beibei was distracted with and the long leave she had taken before the year-end exams. How could she have studied? She must have done badly in her final exams.

However, when Ruan Qi turned her head, Ji Man smiled sweetly and said,

“Kuan Qi, Beibei, let s have lunch together.”

She figured she could show off her results over lunch. They were all students so what could be more important than their studies?

Ruan Qi thought since Ji Man often came in second academically to Tang Beibei’s first place in class, she was probably a good influence. So, Ruan Qi didn’t reject her.

The first class of the new year was taught by their guidance counselor.

Their guidance counselor first announced their class schedule and then ran through their curriculum for the semester so the students could prepare.

Finally, she announced everyone’s class ranking after their final exams.

The exam results students received over the new year only contained their own test scores and not their ranking in class.

Tang Beibei knew that she ranked first because Fu Jin, her class monitor, had told her when he congratulated her.

When the ranking table with everyone’s results was shown on the big screen, Tang Beibei’s name was at the top.

“Wow, Tang Beibei’s total score is 30 points higher than the second-place student and she almost got full marks for the most difficult subject.”

There were always a few easy papers and a few difficult papers in every major examination. Countless students would fail the difficult papers every year. Those papers were brutal!

“Tang Beibei, how did you do it? Do you have any tricks?” Someone asked.

Tang Beibei replied, “Read more and memorize more.”

“How much did you memorize?’’

“Maybe an entire notebook. It’s quite easy to remember when you organize your noteswell.’”

The entire class looked at her as if she was a monster.

An entire notebook of knowledge wasn’t little. She actually memorized all of it. Was she a demon?

Their guidance counselor laughed when she heard that. She knew that Tang Beibei had married a rich second-generation heir. She was worried that the girl would become complacent and not study hard. She did not expect Tang Beibei to sustain her good grades.

As a teacher, she liked students like Tang Beibei who were neither complacent nor impatient and studied hard.

“Tang Beibei did a good job. You must remember what you need to remember when you study medicine so you don’t Idll your patient when the time comes.”

“However, memorizing the information isn’t enough. You must also understand it. I hope that Tang Beibei will keep it up and everyone will learn from her.11

Tang Beibei was injured after the New Year’s Eve party and took a leave of absence. She didn’t return to school until the final exams, so she didn’t know much about this.

The two of them were looking for seats after they got their food when they saw Fu Jin waving at them. Fu Jin also got his food and sat down with them.

I have a surprise for you two.”

“Surprise? Is it a raise?” Tang Beibei asked expectantly.

Fu Jin laughed. “You haven’t even gone back to the studio so you wouldn’t get a raise even if there was one. But this surprise would also bring you money.”

Ruan Qi was an impatient person and rushed Fu Jin, “Stop dawdling and get straight to the point.”

Fu Jin took out his phone and showed them a poster. It was the promotional poster for Dancing Youth, a dance competition.

Ruan Qi speculated, “Captain, are you asking us to participate in this competition?”

“Not just you. Anyone who is above 16 can take part in this competition. This kind of competition is also a de facto for students from major universities. If you won a spot, you’ll get a prize. The prize money isn’t much. The top prize is only 100,000 yuan.”

Tang Beibei’s eyes widened. “100,000 yuan isn’t much?”

Fu Jin looked at Tang Beibei. The weather was still cold, so she was wearing a down jacket. However, her down jacket wasn’t puffy. It was a slim-fit, thin and light but very warm.

The list price for that jacket was 30,000 yuan.

She was wearing a pair of pearl earrings today. The pearls were of high quality. If they were branded, they would cost at least a few thousand yuan.

On her wrist was a diamond bracelet that cost at least a hundred thousand yuan.

And her shoes and the scarf she used to tie her hair…

100,000 yuan in prize money indeed wasn’t much.

Ruan Qi saw Fu Jin’s gaze and shared his sentiments. A hundred thousand yuan really wasn’t much to Tang Beibei.

But the two of them knew Tang Beibei’s personality, so they didn’t expose the lies she was told.

“Tons of people will sign up for this competition, so we won’t necessarily win a prize. Just our dance troupe alone has a few very good dancers.” Ruan Qi sighed.

Tang Beibei ate a mouthful of rice and puffed her cheeks as she thought about her injuries.

“Beibei, can you dance with your injuries?”

“Sure.”

Tang Beibei swallowed the rice in her mouth. She wanted to dance.

Although her injuries still bothered her a little, she could endure the pain.

Fu Jin said seriously, “Don’t force yourself if you’re not hundred percent well yet. There are such competitions every year. You can always take part next year.”

Ruan Qi also tried to persuade her that recovering fully was more important.

Tang Beibei pursed her lips and kept quiet.

At this moment, a familiar piece of music played on the big screen in the cafeteria. Tang Beibei looked up.

It was the video of her Lantern Festival dance with Ruan Qi!
