A furious voice came from behind me, "Jiang Ming, you are disrespectful and arrogant. I will report this matter to the Principal."
"Just wait for your punishment," she added.
The next day, the homeroom teacher announced in class, "According to the decision made by the School Administration, the recommendation spots are awarded to Cheng Xin and Zhu Yufeng."
"Let's give them a round of applause."
Scattered clapping echoed in the classroom.
All the students turned their gazes towards me, some with sympathy and others with glee.
I knew the homeroom teacher was deliberately trying to embarrass me in front of the whole class.
She wanted me to remember this moment in shame and back down.
But I did not give her what she wanted.
I stood up and said loudly, "I refuse to accept this decision. I will secure Zhu Yufeng's recommendation spot."
The homeroom teacher was furious, "Jiang Ming, do you really want to go against the school?"
I retorted, "Why is the school targeting me?"
The homeroom teacher was at a loss for words.
Students whispered among themselves, discussing the situation.
After class, Zhu Yufeng approached me.
She was wearing a limited edition Chanel style outfit and a Cartier watch, exuding an air of wealth.
"I heard you're challenging me?"
"I accept," I replied.
She held her head high, like a beautiful peacock.
I calmly said, "Then let's compete."
Zhu Yufeng scoffed, "Jiang Ming, you're bound to lose."
Three days later, the competition began.
All the teachers and students gathered in the auditorium to watch the spectacle.
The competition was conducted in a buzzer format, and the one who answered the most questions correctly would win. After the host posed the question, both Zhu Yufeng and I pressed the buzzer almost simultaneously.
For the first question, I answered correctly, and Zhu Yufeng lost. Whispers filled the air: "I didn't expect Jiang Ming to be so impressive, actually getting it right." Zhu Yufeng's expression darkened.
For the second question, we both answered correctly. The murmurs continued: "No wonder they can compete with Cheng Tong; their skills are evenly matched." Zhu Yufeng shot me a fierce glare.
In the third round, I answered correctly again while Zhu Yufeng got it wrong. The crowd erupted in surprise: "I can't believe Jiang Ming is this strong; even Zhu Yufeng can't beat her." Zhu Yufeng's face turned ashen, resembling a defeated rooster.
As the competition progressed, I dominated with a final score of 10 to 5, securing my victory. Zhu Yufeng's fans sighed in disappointment: "Zhu Yufeng is too weak; she can't even beat Jiang Ming." "I thought she was a top student; turns out she's just a decorative pillow."
Zhu Yufeng slumped in her chair, her face pale as if she had lost her soul. The homeroom teacher also looked displeased. The Principal sat in the audience with a grim expression.
In the entire auditorium, I was the only victor. I stood up, surveyed the room, and slowly said, "Now, do I qualify for Zhu Yufeng's guaranteed admission slot?"
The surroundings fell silent. No one dared to refute me because I had won through sheer skill. The Principal left without saying a word, his face still dark.
The homeroom teacher shot me a fierce glare and left with the dazed Zhu Yufeng. Cheng Tong walked over and maliciously said, "Jiang Ming, do you think you've won just like that? You've offended the Principal, the homeroom teacher, and Zhu Yufeng. You'll regret it later."
I was unafraid and replied, "Then I'll wait for it."
In the days that followed, the homeroom teacher's attitude towards me changed dramatically. She no longer troubled me and often checked in on me instead. Even my classmates, who usually mocked me, became much more polite.
I knew this was all because I had defeated Zhu Yufeng, making them realize I was not someone to be trifled with. But what they didn't know was that this was just the beginning.
Although I had won the competition against Zhu Yufeng, the recommendation spot still went to her.
"Jiang Ming is so pitiful; she ranked first in the grade but can't get a recommendation spot."
"Who told her to offend Cheng Tong? Cheng Tong's family is wealthy and powerful; she's not someone like Jiang Ming can provoke."
"Actually, her grades are decent, but it's a shame she wasn't born into a better situation; she's destined to be a failure in this life."
"With her background, it's already impressive for her to get into an ordinary university; wanting to attend a top university is just daydreaming."
"That's true; some people are born at a disadvantage; no matter how hard they try, it won't make a difference."
The cold mockery around me pierced my ears. Cheng Tong smugly said, "Jiang Ming, did you see that?"
"You could work your whole life and still not compare to how well I was born."
"My life was destined from the moment I was born. People like you will always be beneath me."
I couldn't be bothered to respond and sat down for class. Seeing that I ignored him, Cheng Tong felt embarrassed and fell silent.
