Teacher Zhuang didn’t regard Luo Ke as an outsider in the slightest. After talking about Fu Yingying, he also mentioned Fu Yingying’s friend, Gu Zhiqi.

"By the way, her friend’s name is Gu Zhiqi."

"That name sounds familiar. I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere. Luo Ke, have you heard of it?"

Because of Teacher Zhuang’s rambling, Luo Ke was already getting a bit fed up and was thinking of finding an excuse to leave, when suddenly he heard a familiar name from Teacher Zhuang.

"Of course you’re familiar with it. Before, I even showed you her math test papers and asked you to help grade them."

Teacher Zhuang heard this, paused slightly, then slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh, so it was her. I knew the name sounded familiar!"

"But that little student was so impressive. How could she not have been admitted?"

"Could it be she had a lopsided performance?"

Teacher Zhuang clearly remembered grading the test papers for a very talented youngster.

But since the test paper didn’t have a name, Teacher Zhuang didn’t know her name, just that he had heard Luo Ke mention it once before.

Hearing Luo Ke bring it up again, he immediately remembered.

After listening to Teacher Zhuang, Luo Ke explained to him that Gu Zhiqi achieved full marks but, for some reason, was not admitted.

After hearing this, Teacher Zhuang mumbled, "What’s wrong with the admissions office at the First Institute, not admitting such an outstanding student? If they don’t want her, I’d like to take her in."

Luo Ke fully agreed with Teacher Zhuang’s words. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

But then, after a thought, he immediately shook his head. Even if she was admitted, he seemed to have nothing to teach her.

Unaware of Luo Ke’s thoughts, Teacher Zhuang continued talking, "In that case, I won’t go in and ask. I’ll just tell Fu Yingying her score. Speaking of Fu Yingying, I have to mention her painting, which is really beautiful. Just standing there, one can feel a rich..."

Seeing that Teacher Zhuang was about to continue, Luo Ke interrupted him, "Uh, Teacher Zhuang, I have something else to do. Let’s chat another day."

Though somewhat reluctant, Teacher Zhuang still bid farewell to Luo Ke and left.

The consultation office was in the comprehensive office building, and after leaving the building, Luo Ke and Teacher Zhuang parted ways.

After walking only a hundred meters, Luo Ke encountered the principal of Central Continent Academy on the way, accompanied by someone he recognized as Yan Zhongjing, the head of the Yan family.

Seeing this, Luo Ke immediately stepped forward to greet them.

The principal and Yan Zhongjing nodded slightly at Luo Ke, and the principal asked him, "Professor Luo Ke, where have you been?"

Luo Ke: "I went to the consultation office to ask a question."

Recalling the conversation he had with the students at the consultation office, Luo Ke promptly asked the principal, "By the way, Principal, here’s the thing, there’s a student named Gu Zhiqi who scored full marks but wasn’t admitted. The people at the consultation office said they’ve already reported this to you. Do you know if you found out the reason from the First Institute?"

As soon as Luo Ke asked, the principal’s expression turned subtle, and Yan Zhongjing beside him also glanced at Luo Ke, asking, "Professor Luo Ke, do you know this student, Gu Zhiqi?"

Upon hearing these words, Luo Ke was slightly taken aback, and a sense of doubt arose in his mind.

Could it be that this little student offended the Yan family head and wasn’t admitted?

However, thinking of Yan Zhongjing’s character, Luo Ke dispelled his doubts.

Luo Ke: "She’s a student of a senior brother of mine. I’m just helping to inquire."

Hearing this, Yan Zhongjing nodded slightly, then said to him, "You can inform your senior brother that Gu Zhiqi wasn’t admitted because she has long been a student of the First Institute."

Luo Ke: !
