I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 57

Time passed just like that for another day. On the day of their return, the Class Monitor organized a final gathering. He drank several glasses of wine at once, then entered drunken mode, babbling endlessly to the Sports Committee Member.

“I toast you with this cup. I hope we’ll have opportunities to collaborate in the future,” Cheng Hao said, raising his wine glass and walking up to Wen Yunqing. He paused and added, “Consider this also a thank you for saving me some face that day.”

It was only a flick on the forehead, not a straightforward judo throw, so he hadn’t lost too much dignity.

Wen Yunqing smiled, clinked glasses with him, and then decisively drained her cup.

“Cheers! From now on, we’re friends!” Cheng Hao said with a laugh, then also downed his full glass of wine.

To be honest, Wen Yunqing was not at all bothered by Cheng Hao looking for trouble at the beginning. After all, everything is relative. Compared to that thoroughly despicable Zhang, Cheng Hao was at most a young person with a bad temper.

After a hearty meal, twenty-two recent high school graduates boarded the plane for the return trip.

The return flight was also lavishly chartered by the Class Monitor, so there was no restriction on the luggage each person could bring. Everyone carried back many local specialties, even Zhou Jun.

“Zhou Jun, my deskmate, I see you as a promising student. If you become successful in the future, don’t forget your deskmate, me,” Su Ning had also drunk a lot of wine and clung to Zhou Jun’s arm throughout the meal, refusing to let go.

Zhou Jun’s face was practically crumpled into a bun. After much difficulty, she finally rescued her arm, then asked the restaurant owner for some honey water and tirelessly poured it down Su Ning.

With Zhou Jun’s efforts, Su Ning finally sobered up, but even after sobering up, Su Ning didn’t let up. She immediately wrapped her arms around Zhou Jun’s neck, demanding that she promise not to forget her once she became wealthy.

“Yes, yes, I won’t forget you,” Zhou Jun said, feeling helpless. Su Ning was the real wealthy second-generation, so why was she latching onto her?

Just like that, amidst laughter and playful antics, the group boarded the plane and returned to Anshi, concluding their graduation trip.

The trip to Yunnan made Wen Yimeng realize the power of non-scientific forces. After returning home, she focused on nothing else. She stopped going out when her old friends called and diligently followed Wen Yunqing to study and advance, striving to learn more talismans and spells!

It was true that Wen Yimeng’s talent was ordinary, but she had the cheat-code Wen Yunqing by her side. With Wen Yunqing using spiritual energy to nourish her meridians and teaching her hands-on, even a pig could take flight.

Thus, Wen Yimeng only temporarily stopped studying on the day the exam results were released. With a computer each, they waited for the exact time to check their scores.

They entered their exam ID, entered the verification code, and clicked on Inquire!

404!

“Too many people are checking scores; the system is stuck,” Wen Yimeng said, feeling a surge of nervousness in her heart.

“Mine is the same. Let’s check a bit later,” Wen Yunqing was much more relaxed. She remembered exactly what she had answered and had already estimated her score afterward.

“No rush, no rush. We’ll check in a little bit,” Mom Wen pulled over a small chair and sat between the two of them, looking from one to the other.

Before the network could clear up, Mom Wen’s phone rang first.

“Hello, Principal? Yes, it’s me,” Mom Wen quickly answered the call.

“What? Are you serious?” Mom Wen’s tone suddenly changed, and she said excitedly, “Good, good, good, I understand. One is nineteenth place, and one is twentieth place, right?”

“Okay, I’ve made a note. The girls are still checking their scores. I’ll tell them in a moment!” Mom Wen spoke a few sentences, then happily hung up the phone.

“The Principal of Ruihua just called me!” Mom Wen couldn’t help but laugh. “You two can’t check your scores right now; they are temporarily shielded. But Yimeng’s rank is nineteenth in the province, and Yunqing, yours is twentieth in the province! The Principal also said that both of your scores are definitely high enough for Jing University’s Law Department.”

“Really?” Wen Yimeng was excited. Although she had performed very well, a rank in the top 19 in the province was something she had never expected.

“Really. Your specific scores will be released in three days,” Mom Wen was extremely happy. As she spoke, she immediately started calling Dad Wen.

Dad Wen was in a company meeting at the time. When his phone started vibrating, he first frowned, but then quickly relaxed when he saw who was calling.

“Hello, it’s me. The scores haven’t been released?” Dad Wen was a little puzzled. “Why not?”

“What!” Dad Wen couldn’t help but slap the table, his face full of smiles. “Good, good, good, I understand. Mmm, I’ll be back after the meeting!”

After ending the call with a few brief words, the corners of Dad Wen’s mouth curled up maniacally. “Alright, I’ve grasped the general situation of the group. We must retain the R&D talent. Increasing their benefits slightly is fine.”

“The meeting ends here today. Please write up your reports and send them directly to my email.” After speaking, Dad Wen stood up and left, unable to stop himself from laughing into his phone.

As expected of my Wen family’s children! So smart! So promising!

After her initial excitement, Wen Yimeng thought of Zhou Jun. Zhou Jun’s grades were even better than theirs. In the last few mock exams, she had already climbed to first place in the city, and her Gaokao (National College Entrance Exam) results would certainly be excellent.

After calling five times in a row, Wen Yimeng’s call was finally answered. “Hello, Zhou Jun, have you checked your score? What rank are you?”

Zhou Jun hesitated slightly in her reply. “The principal called me. If there are no surprises, I should be first in the province.”

“That’s incredible, Zhou Jun!” Wen Yimeng exclaimed. “Are you still sticking with the Physics Department at Jing University?”

“Mhm. The admissions officer from Jing University has already called, and I’ve stated my intention to apply,” Zhou Jun replied, her tone also carrying joy.

The Physics Department at Jing University had always been her dream department. Her years of hard work had not been in vain!

As the top scorer in the province, her Gaokao scores had been obtained by the top universities long ago. The moment the scores were announced, she received calls from the admissions officers of both Qing University and Jing University, and she very clearly expressed her intention to apply to Jing University.

The Jing University admissions officer was very happy to hear this, saying they would definitely strive to get Zhou Jun the best learning environment, not only waiving all tuition and miscellaneous fees but also providing her with a special-grade scholarship.

“That’s great! I checked, and the Physics Department isn’t far from our Law Department. We can continue to eat together in college!” Wen Yimeng was overjoyed, happy for herself and also for Zhou Jun.

As the top scorer in the province, Zhou Jun would receive a 500,000 yuan scholarship according to Ruihua’s regulations, not to mention the rewards from the province and city. Zhou Jun’s family situation would surely improve significantly.

Dad Wen quickly rushed back. His reward was also very direct: he purchased two properties near Jing University.

“These are the places I just had my secretary organize. I’ll arrange for you to be on the same floor. You two sisters can decide how you want to live there yourselves,” Dad Wen was in a great mood, and he was exceptionally generous with his gifts.

“Once your admission notices arrive, I’ll host a celebration banquet for you!” Dad Wen said with a smile. “Oh, right, when you have time, go take your driver’s license test. I’ve already spoken with the driving school. As soon as you are proficient, you can go take the exam immediately.”

Dad Wen added, “Once you get your driver’s licenses, I’ll take you to buy cars. Whatever you want, we’ll buy.”

Wen Han stood by, his eyes full of envy. My Gaokao scores weren’t bad back then, either. Why didn’t I get this kind of preferential treatment, with houses and cars? Sure enough, sons are raised frugally, and daughters are raised lavishly.

Wen Yunqing was naturally very happy to accept the houses and cars. Seeing the genuine smile and relief on Dad Wen’s face, she didn’t mind playing the role of the obedient daughter, saying a few nice words to please him.

Catching sight of the envious look on Wen Han’s face, Wen Yunqing raised an eyebrow slightly. “Brother, Dad gave us so many things. Don’t you have something to show us?”

“Hmm?” Wen Han was stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted his expression, smiling. “Dad gave you the houses and cars. Do you need anything else? Should I help you purchase some clothes and jewelry?”

“Yimeng and I will choose our own clothes and jewelry. You can just send us a red envelope as a token of your affection, Brother,” Wen Yunqing said with a smile.

You always spoke ill of me in front of Yimeng before, now you can be envious! Yimeng will be with me at Jing University for the next four years!

Wen Han smiled outwardly but inwardly cursed Wen Yunqing several times. Given that Dad Wen and Mom Wen were present, he couldn’t appear too stingy. He immediately transferred 880,000 yuan to each of them as a “good luck” red envelope.

“Thank you, Brother,” Wen Yunqing thanked him with a bright smile.

“Thank you, Brother. You work hard,” Wen Yimeng’s gratitude was genuine. “Rest more when you’re tired, and don’t stay up late.”

“Mhm, I will,” After receiving Wen Yimeng’s care, Wen Han felt his pain had been soothed. Even giving away over a million yuan didn’t hurt too much anymore.

They are family, after all. Giving a big red envelope is normal.

In the days after the scores were released, Wen Yimeng and Wen Yunqing received many calls. Besides the Jing University admissions officer, Qing University, Renmin University, and many other top universities also called, expressing that if they didn’t want to go to Jing University, they could come to their schools, then rambling on about various benefits and treatment.

Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng generally acknowledged the admissions officers with “mhm” and “ah-ha,” then politely refused. After answering more than a dozen calls, they finally couldn’t take it anymore and chose to turn off their phones, returning to closed-door study of talismans.

After the Gaokao scores were released, it was time to fill out the university applications. Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng were decisive. They were very confident in their scores, so they only submitted one choice: Jing University, Law Department, and promptly submitted the application.

After submitting their chosen university, the two squeezed in ten days to get their driver’s licenses as quickly as possible.

Dad Wen had originally planned to personally take his two daughters to buy cars, but the day before, the government announced a major project and planned to cooperate with several local companies. Dad Wen, as the head of the company, urgently called a senior management meeting to focus on the major project.

Of course, to show his apology, Dad Wen transferred ten million yuan to each of them to buy cars. If it wasn’t enough, he would supplement it later.

“What kind of car should we buy? A sports car, an ordinary sedan, or an SUV?” Wen Yimeng asked. She had always been chauffeured, so buying a car didn’t make much difference to her.

“Hmm, since we’re new drivers, let’s get one with a high safety rating,” Wen Yunqing said, locating a relatively large car dealership and taking a taxi there directly.

It was the summer holiday, so the car dealership was quite busy. When Wen Yimeng and Wen Yunqing walked in, only a young girl who looked about the same age as them came over to greet them.

“Do the two of you have any requirements for the car’s configuration?” The young girl held a thick folder of documents. After seating them, she immediately brought two bottles of mineral water.

“These are some of our latest models on the market, and here are our best-selling models. The lowest prices are the reference prices. We currently have a promotion, so there will be a discounted price if you purchase today,” The young girl’s sales skills were not very practiced. She ran back and forth several times before bringing over the relevant brochures and promotional materials.

Wen Yunqing flipped through them and paused at an SUV. “This car looks quite sturdy.”

Hearing this, Wen Yimeng leaned her head over and nodded in agreement. “Indeed, this one looks very sturdy.”

“Hello, what colors does this car come in?” Wen Yunqing turned the brochure towards the salesgirl and asked.

The young girl blinked, quickly flipping through the documents in her hand. “Hello, there are a total of five colors: black, white, red, blue, and camouflage green.”

As she spoke, the young girl handed over her document book. “The specific parameters are here. You can take a look. We have the black and white versions in the store. Would you like me to take you to see them?”

Wen Yunqing studied the parameters for a while, then nodded. “Okay, please take us to see them.”

The young girl quickly led the two to the display area, but unfortunately, another employee was already there showing cars to a client. The young girl could only wait first and brought some snacks to entertain the two.

It was the holiday, so queuing to see cars in order was normal. Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng had no objections and waited patiently for fifteen minutes. Only when the previous client left did they step forward.

“Xiaoni, my client is in a hurry. Let us take a look first.” Before the young girl, Xiaoni, could even begin reading the list of advantages from her document, another employee walked up and self-importantly pushed Xiaoni to the side.

“Sister Li, our customers have been waiting for a long time. Could you please wait until we’ve finished…” Xiaoni said, sounding troubled. “Just give me ten minutes. I’ll just introduce the cars to the two guests quickly.”

Sister Li frowned slightly, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng following Xiaoni. Seeing that the so-called customers were just two recently-adult children, her confidence increased.

“Xiaoni, it’s certainly good for a newcomer to be diligent, but you need to know the situation. Manager Niu has a meeting to attend soon and doesn’t have much time to look at cars. Since you’ve already waited a long time, just wait a little longer. My introduction will be very quick.”

After speaking, Sister Li didn’t wait for Xiaoni’s reaction. She directly led the so-called Manager Niu to the display platform and began a detailed introduction of the two models, even having Manager Niu sit inside to get a feel for them.

Wen Yimeng’s expression showed displeasure. She wanted to step forward and speak up for Xiaoni, but Wen Yunqing’s movement was faster. She grabbed Wen Yimeng’s hand first.

“No rush, let’s keep watching,” Wen Yunqing said in a low voice. Society is naturally a place where the strong prey on the weak. If Xiaoni doesn’t dare to fight for herself, our help this one time will be useless.

Although Wen Yimeng was a little confused, she obediently stayed put, continuing to sit and eat snacks while waiting.

After waiting for another ten minutes, Xiaoni finally found an opportunity and began to introduce the car’s details to the two. “We have cameras in the front and back, and we are also equipped with sensors that will give an early warning if we encounter obstacles.”

“Is this car impact-resistant?” Wen Yunqing asked.

“According to the safety performance test results, this car scored ninety-five points. If it collides with a sedan, as long as the seatbelts are fastened and the speed does not exceed 60 kilometers per hour, the people inside the cabin should be safe. Of course, if it’s a large truck, then perhaps…”

Although the young girl was a newcomer, she had one clear advantage: honesty. She answered whatever Wen Yunqing asked, completely according to the actual situation, without any exaggeration.

The SUV’s exterior was nice, its safety rating was reliable, and it had sufficient power, which aligned well with Wen Yimeng and Wen Yunqing’s requirements for a vehicle.

Just as the two were discussing which color looked best, the previous Sister Li returned. This time, she didn’t even bother to greet them, directly bringing her clients in to look at the car and start her introduction.

This time, Xiaoni couldn’t stand it anymore and walked up to Sister Li. “Sister Li, according to the store’s rules, you have to wait until my customers finish looking at the car before you can bring yours over.”

Sister Li smiled. “Is that so? Xiaoni, rules need to be flexible. It’s not wrong for you to bring people to look at cars, but you also have to consider who you bring. If you keep doing useless work, your sales performance might be zero again today, mightn’t it?”

“Your manager is over there. I want to file a complaint,” Wen Yunqing spoke up. “I have never seen an employee who dares to mock and ridicule customers.”

Upon hearing Wen Yunqing’s words, Sister Li’s expression changed slightly. “The two guests may have misunderstood. My comments just now were not directed at the two of you.”

“Oh, Sister Li, you also misunderstood. I didn’t say who I wanted to complain about just now. There’s no need for you to rush over here,” Wen Yunqing retorted, without holding back.

Sister Li slowly exhaled, a smile plastered on her face. “Xiaoni is new and doesn’t know any better. Her introduction might not be thorough. If the two of you don’t mind, I can introduce it to both of you simultaneously.”

“Xiaoni, where is your manager? Why isn’t he here yet?” Wen Yunqing completely ignored Sister Li, not even giving her a superfluous glance.

“Ah, please wait. I’ll go call the manager over,” Xiaoni was also stubborn. Wen Yunqing told her to go, so she actually went, ignoring Sister Li’s darkened face. About five minutes later, she truly brought the manager over.

“Ladies, I hear there has been a small misunderstanding here. Is there anything I can help you with?” The manager was, after all, a manager. Upon arriving, he guessed what had happened.

“Does your store have rules that require people to queue to look at cars in order?” Wen Yimeng asked.

“Yes, due to certain reasons, the store does have this regulation,” The manager’s forehead beaded with sweat. He thought for a moment and added, “If there are a lot of people, we can also view the cars together with the customer’s consent.”

“Well, this Miss Li, twenty minutes ago, brought a group of people and cut in line, rushing to look at the car before us,” Wen Yimeng said. “But Miss Li said her customer was in a hurry, and we were willing to be accommodating, so we chose to let them look first.”

“However, I didn’t expect that our kind concession would be seen by this Miss Li as us being unable to afford a car and irrelevant people who cannot provide sales figures for the staff.”

“Even more outrageous is that while Xiaoni was introducing the model and car condition to us, this Miss Li brought her customers in without any greeting. I want to ask, is this rude and uncultured behavior Miss Li’s personal action, or is it mandatory due to client necessity?”

When speaking, Wen Yimeng did not display obvious emotion like Wen Yunqing. She maintained a very reasonable demeanor, which made Sister Li’s unreasonableness and excessive behavior stand out even more.

Sure enough, upon hearing Wen Yimeng’s words, the scale of right and wrong in the manager’s heart slowly tilted towards her side. He looked at Sister Li with displeasure, waiting for her explanation.

Sister Li knew she was in the wrong. She offered a brief explanation, then apologized with a very sincere-looking expression. “I apologize. I was just a little anxious. I thought Xiaoni was almost done with her introduction, so I assumed they were finished…”

Oh, it seems she only looks sincere. Her words are still making excuses for herself and shifting the blame to others.

“I want to complain about her,” Wen Yunqing said directly, not bothering with pleasantries. “Have her take her customers back. We haven’t finished looking at the car.”

The manager’s expression was poor, because during the argument, many curious customers had gathered nearby, forming a small circle.

“Alright, Xiao Li, apologize quickly and then go write a letter of self-criticism and submit it to me!” When customers are watching, the reputation of the car dealership is paramount.

After punishing Sister Li, the manager took over her customers, explaining the situation with a smile, indicating that they could choose to look elsewhere, and he would notify them when the car was available to view.

“No need. They are just two young people who just entered society. They’ll leave after getting their eye candy,” Sister Li’s client was a man wearing a shirt and trousers, dressed like an elite.

“Young people who want to climb the social ladder always have to do things to draw attention,” the elite man commented to himself, his gaze lingering on the two girls as he let out a less-than-polite laugh.
