Chapter 798: Personal Invitation, Vomiting Blood, Trending Warning! (2)

“Don’t participate in the next Seven Schools Joint Examination,” Madam Ji said, her heart aching. “You’ve already secured a spot in the international joint examination, and you don’t need to take the college entrance exam. Just focus on your health.”

Ji Qingwei hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

She glanced outside. “Is my older sister still refusing to see me?”

Now that she was eighteen, she was allowed to meet Ji Qingyao.

However, since Ji Qingyao left last time, she hadn’t returned to the Ji family.

During the New Year, she had sent some health products through someone else, but hadn’t shown up in person.

“I’ll make sure she comes back,” Madam Ji said, her face darkening. “You are her younger sister; she needs to take care of you. What kind of sister is she?”

Ji Qingwei lowered her eyelashes. “Maybe she’s busy. The Thousand Army Alliance has many affairs to handle. I can’t be too demanding.”

“Busy enough to not show up and without any promotion,” Madam Ji muttered. “You rest well and don’t think about anything else. Your sister will come back.”

Once Ji Qingwei fell asleep, Mrs. Ji left the room to contact Ji Qingyao. However, the call didn’t go through.

She frowned. Compared to Ji Qingwei, Ji Qingyao was indeed more troublesome.

She would have to visit the Thousand Army Alliance herself tomorrow.

The next day.

Si Fuqing was reading the script for “The Nation’s Heroine” when she received a call from Principal Lu of Northern State No.1 Middle School, urging her to come to the school for an important matter.

She informed Sang Yanqing before leaving the studio, still opting to travel by shared bike.

Upon arriving at the principal’s office, Si Fuqing noticed not only Principal Lu but also an elderly Western man and a young man in a suit.

Si Fuqing looked up. “Principal Lu, who are they?”

“Student Si, this is Professor Solomon,” Principal Lu said, his voice trembling. “He has come specifically to see you. He is the head of the international joint examination.”

Professor Solomon nodded and spoke rapidly in his language.

The young man in the suit translated his words.

Si Fuqing understood and extended her hand. “Hello, Professor Solomon, it’s an honor to meet you.”

She spoke in Professor Solomon’s native language.

Professor Solomon shook her hand, surprised. “You speak it so fluently!”

Principal Lu was stunned and struggled to speak. “You… you know French?”

“Just a bit,” Si Fuqing replied.

Principal Lu was speechless.

Conversing fluently counted as “a bit”?

Principal Lu left with the translator, leaving Professor Solomon and Si Fuqing alone.

“Your teacher should have informed you of your rating, right? SSS. You are the only one in many years to achieve this,” Professor Solomon said solemnly. “You don’t need to take the international joint examination. You can be exempted.”

“I still need to take the exam,” Si Fuqing nodded. “I have something very important that requires me to participate in the international joint examination.”

Professor Solomon was curious and asked, “What important thing? Tell me, maybe I can help you.”

He cherished talented individuals like Si Fuqing and was willing to assist her with anything within his power.

Si Fuqing calmly said, “To make someone vomit blood.”

Professor Solomon was bewildered. “???”

What?

“But you can indeed help me, Professor,” Si Fuqing continued, rubbing her chin. “Can you advance the international joint examination to June?”

“Advance it?” Professor Solomon frowned. “That’s not something I can decide alone. It depends on the Free State’s decision.”

“Ah, right,” Si Fuqing nodded. “I know how to handle it.”

She planned to ask Lu Xingci to bring it up.

“You might not have heard of the Free State, but studying there will greatly enhance your abilities. I’ll write you a recommendation letter,” Professor Solomon said earnestly. “Once the Free State approves, you can go directly.”

Si Fuqing was silent for a moment before smiling. “I will return to the Free State, but not now. One step at a time. Rushing could backfire.”

“That’s true,” Professor Solomon patted her shoulder. “I’ve given you my card. Contact me if you need anything. I have other matters to attend to, so I must go.”

He didn’t notice that Si Fuqing said “return” instead of “go.”

Si Fuqing saw him off. “Take care, Professor.”

She stored Professor Solomon’s card and the exemption certificate, then leisurely returned to her studio.
