Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 153: This Deal Is Worth It

Lyu Juncheng and his wife’s quarrels were sothing Xinyan had no interest in getting involved with. However, the chatterbox Zhao Jianlan would babble about them every day, and hearing that they were not doing well, Xinyan felt at ease.

Soon it was ti to go to the city for the competition, this ti led by the horoom teacher of Class One, Mr. Gu.

Their Class Two’s Teacher Chu gave Xinyan plenty of advice before they set out.

The chanical Factory wasn’t far from the city, so they didn’t need to arrive the night before. They took the earliest bus and, by the ti they arrived, the competing students from other schools were already there.

It was then that Xinyan learned that the top five in this math competition would go to the province next week for the finals.

Soon, Mr. Gu led them into the examination hall. After settling in, he advised, "Don’t feel pressured; just focus on doing each problem well. I’ll be waiting for you outside."

The first round lasted eighty minutes. Xinyan was there primarily for the rewards, so she was particularly attentive. After completing all the problems and thoroughly checking them, she handed in her paper.

Even so, she left the examination hall eight minutes early.

Seeing her co out first, Mr. Gu hurried over, "Why are you out so soon? Did you finish all the questions?"

Xinyan hadn’t intended to co out early, but she hadn’t used the restroom before entering the hall, and after checking her answers, she just couldn’t hold it any longer, so she submitted her paper.

Xinyan simply replied, "Finished them all. I’ll talk to you in a bit."

Then she headed straight towards the restroom.

Soone observing Xinyan remarked to Mr. Gu, "Coming out this fast, perhaps she didn’t finish all the questions. If the results of the first round are poor, it won’t matter how well the second round goes."

Mr. Gu felt anxious hearing this. When Xinyan returned from the restroom, teachers from other schools gathered around: "Did you finish all the questions, student?"

Xinyan didn’t want to draw too much attention, so she nodded slightly, "I don’t know if they’re right, but I did them all."

Just as everyone wanted to inquire further, the bell rang, signaling the end of the first round. Everyone rushed to the waiting area, leaving no ti to question Xinyan further.

To avoid putting pressure on the students, Mr. Gu didn’t have them compare answers but instead reminded them of so details. Twenty minutes later, the second round began.

The second round lasted one hundred and fifty minutes. Xinyan stopped writing twenty minutes early and, after reviewing her answers, sat there without submitting her paper early this ti, so as not to pressure her peers.

Initially, Xinyan had considered finding an excuse to visit the black market, but Mr. Gu had repeatedly stressed that they could not act alone, so Xinyan dropped the idea.

They each ordered a bowl of plain noodles at a state-run restaurant near the examination hall, and after eating, they took the bus back to the chanical Factory.

On the way back, the three of them finally compared answers.
