Chapter 1036: Full Score, Insane! Fighting Over Her, Literally (2)
The screenwriter initially wanted to avoid focusing too much on JIANG Xuanjin, but given that the story was centered on JIANG Zhaoyue, it was impossible to pletely sidestep his character.
“Everyone has emotions,” Si Fuqing said with a smile. “We’re following history, trust me.”
The screenwriter finally nodded in agreement. “Alright.”
“Are the college entrance exam results ing out soon?” Director Lu asked with concern. “Miss Si, take it easy. Don’t let whatever the online mentators say get to you.”
Si Fuqing responded with a casual hum. “The results are out. I already got my score.”
Director Lu and the assistant director exchanged surprised glances. “You already got them?”
The official release was on June 24th, but the scores for top students often came out earlier.
For Si Fuqing to know this early, how high must her score be?
The assistant director hesitantly asked, “May I ask, how many points did you get, Miss Si?”
“750,” Si Fuqing said as she picked up a long spear. “Let’s continue filming.”
Director Lu: “…”
Assistant Director: “…”
What could possibly allow her to state such an astronomical score so nonchalantly?
750 points?
Is she even human?!
Director Lu struggled to speak. “Hel-help me up.”
The assistant director grimaced. “I was hoping you could help me.”
Director Lu, feeling pletely overwhelmed, drifted back to the monitoring screen in a daze. “Alright, let’s get started.”
Meanwhile, Sang Yanqing was on the phone. “Yes, yes, to be honest, Qingqing already decided to attend Great Xia University. Right, she can enroll after finishing this shoot, but she’ll be busy because she’s also filming a movie…”
Si Fuqing had just finished a scene and was getting her makeup touched up. “Who’s that?”
“Great Xia University’s dean,” Sang Yanqing replied. “He wants to e see you. I told him there’s no need since you’re definitely going to Great Xia University, but it seems like he wants you to major in puter science or engineering.”
Si Fuqing’s face immediately turned expressionless. “I refuse.”
She had no intention of being cooped up in a lab; she wanted to do archaeological work in ancient tombs.
“Whatever you prefer,” Sang Yanqing nodded. “Last year, the archaeology department only admitted nine students. You’ll need to balance your studies with your career.”
Si Fuqing nodded. “I understand.”
She leaned back on the sofa, sending a message on her phone.
[Si Fuqing]: Thanks, Brother Nine, sending love!
The reply was instant.
[Yu Xiheng]: Alright, rest well, and don’t overwork yourself.
Si Fuqing stared at the message, feeling a slight tug at her heartstrings.
She poked at his profile picture.
Immediately, a message popped up.
[You patted the Big Sponsor on the shoulder and snuggled up to him.]
Si Fuqing quickly retracted the pat.
[Yu Xiheng]: ?
[Si Fuqing]: You didn’t know you could retract it, did you? But I did!
She thought, finally scoring a point in her ongoing battle with this Black-hearted Monster.

In the afternoon.
A few entertainment reporters from Orange TV were invited to the film set and were discussing potential collaborations with Sang Yanqing.
Orange TV hoped that some behind-the-scenes footage of “The Nation’s Heroine” could be exclusively aired on their app.
When it came to pricing, Sang Yanqing naturally didn’t hold back.
“Sister Sang, a lot of people are looking for Miss Si,” an assistant manager hurried over, stammering, “There are really a lot of them!”
“What?” Sang Yanqing’s first thought was whether Si Fuqing had done something that attracted a mob, and people were now ing for her.
She thought it might finally be time to use the PR plans she had prepared for so long. It had been too quiet lately, and she was itching for a challenge.
Sang Yanqing squinted her eyes. “Let’s go out and see.”
The entertainment reporters exchanged excited glances, each seeing the anticipation in the others’ eyes.
This trip was already proving to be worthwhile; they were bound to get some explosive material that would shake the entertainment industry.
Si Fuqing was incredibly popular, the top of the top, surpassing all other celebrities in every aspect. Many online users were eagerly waiting for some juicy gossip about her.
Unfortunately for them, all the big news about her had been disclosed by herself, leaving the reporters with nothing to boost their ratings.
The entertainment reporters could barely contain their excitement as they grabbed their equipment and followed Sang Yanqing outside.
Outside, a row of cars was lined up, each with license plates from different states.
As the car doors opened, people poured out, rushing forward in a chaotic scramble.
They were jostling each other, pushing, and some were even getting a bit physical.
Even Sang Yanqing, who was used to the drama in the entertainment industry, was stunned by the scene.
Was this a brawl?
Sang Yanqing involuntarily took a step back. “What is this…”
“Hello, hello, Miss Sang. I’m Yan Fuzheng, the dean of Qing University,” an elderly man squeezed forward, quickly grabbing her hand. “Please, we must have Miss Si attend Qing University. We’ll offer her a scholarship of one hundred thousand per year, and there’s no limit on the research budget.”
“Yan, you shameless old man,” the dean of Great Xia University pointed at him angrily. “She’s already decided to attend Great Xia University. There’s no point in you saying anything.”
“But she hasn’t submitted her application yet,” the Qing University dean retorted, undeterred. He turned back to Sang Yanqing, saying, “We can meet any of Miss Si’s demands, anything at all!”
He emphasized the last part to show his sincerity.
All because this year’s college entrance exam had produced a perfect-score genius!
“Great Xia University can do the same,” the dean of Xia University said anxiously. “We can even create a new department for Miss Si. Scholarships won’t be an issue.”
“This…” Sang Yanqing was also swayed by the generous offers. “Why don’t you both e inside and let Qingqing choose for herself?”
She had heard of the fierce petition between these two universities for top students but never imagined she would witness it firsthand.
Now she could die happy.
Sang Yanqing led the two university presidents inside, with eight other university deans waiting in line behind them.
Even though these eight deans knew their chances were slim, they still wanted to try.
The entertainment reporters, who had followed Sang Yanqing outside, were left in a daze, pletely numb.
How were they supposed to write their headlines?
Should they report “Top Ten University Deans Gather at the Set of ‘The Nation’s Heroine'” or “Qing University and Great Xia University Deans Fight Over Si Fuqing”?
