In the morning, after getting everything ready, Rao Jie returned to her room to focus on studying. Since she was preparing for the graduate entrance exam, there was a lot of information she needed to obtain in a timely manner. Therefore, her class had created a WeChat group where many study materials were shared.
Rao Jie had previously calculated her finances; living with the Wu Family felt like being supported, as they provided meals and accommodation. This left her with some extra money that she could use to pay for a math tutoring class. Her math skills were lacking, and if she wanted to succeed in the entrance exam, this was her biggest hurdle.
At that moment, Rao Jie asked in the class group about which math prep classes were good and whether anyone had already started attending classes. Soon, a flurry of messages filled the group, including some strange comments.
"Jie Jie, keep it up!"
"Jie Jie is awesome!"
"Your future is what matters most!"
And a bunch of cute emojis.
Rao Jie was puzzled about when her classmates had become so united and supportive. She felt inexplicably comforted by their words.
Just then, the class monitor privately messaged her.
"Rao Jie, we've all heard about it. Don't be upset; focus on preparing for the exam. During such a critical time, don't let your emotions affect you. We're all here to support you!"
Rao Jie finally understood something. "You all..."
"It's been spreading around privately; it's about those Players. Don't pay attention to them."
Because of Rao Jie's good nature, even though she wasn't very close with her classmates, everyone liked her quite a bit. Moreover, when such situations arose, people often liked to take the side of justice to help the weaker party, and in this incident, Rao Jie was the one perceived as weak.
"Rao Jie, if you're feeling down, talk to us. We can go out and have some fun together."
Rao Jie couldn't help but smile. "Thank you; I've thought it through. I just want to focus on preparing for the entrance exam now."
"You want to apply for our school's graduate program, right?"
Rao Jie replied with an affirmative sound.
"Rao Jie, have you considered the school's recommendation spots?"
Rao Jie was taken aback. "I think it was mentioned in my junior year, but I wasn't among the top three students, so I don't qualify for that and will have to take the exam myself."
Their school was very prestigious, and recommendation spots were limited; most students had to take the exam themselves, which was also quite challenging.
"Rao Jie, isn't the third place Jiang Chuchu? The evaluation criteria for the guaranteed admission spot are such that you are no worse than her in every aspect except for grades. You used to be sisters, so I didn't want to say much before, but now that she has stolen your boyfriend, there's no need to be polite. It's fair competition and a reasonable pursuit! As long as you can surpass her in this final exam, you have a great chance of taking her place. Aren't you going to give it a try? Even if you don't succeed, it's still like having two chances to take the graduate school entrance exam at our university!"
Revenge?
Absolutely!
In a WeChat group with only three people, Wu Xin and Wei Qian shared their thoughts on what Rao Jie had just said.
Wu Xin saw it as a perfect opportunity for revenge.
Wei Qian, on the other hand, didn't care about revenge; she simply thought it was an opportunity worth seizing. The more chances one has, the better! Who wouldn't want an extra opportunity in this world? Rao Jie had been foolish in the past, thinking that since her grades couldn't get her into the top three, there was no point in competing.
Moreover, with Jiang Chuchu holding the third place and studying for the graduate entrance exam together with her every day, Rao Jie had never considered the possibility of vying for the Graduate School Recommendation spot.
Now that she had sorted out her thoughts, it seemed entirely feasible.
