You think if you do this, the professor will never forgive you, right? Thinking about this, Song Ming became even more worried. Looking at Xu Ke, his heart was filled with guilt, and cold sweat started to appear on his face; he looked particularly flustered.

Others saw Song Ming like this and thought Song Ming couldn’t handle it.

"At the time, my senior was the pride of finance studies, even the professor couldn’t stop praising him. He came to Xiao Group entirely because of me; otherwise, he would have gone abroad. So rest assured, my senior will definitely score high on this paper."

Song Ming seemed a bit helpless, but was feeling extremely guilty inside, unsure of what to do. He was sure he would score high on this paper, but there were a few questions he couldn’t answer, which wasn’t fair to Xu Ke at all.

This is nowhere near fair competition, it’s practically cheating, and he absolutely wouldn’t allow this to happen. Just as he was about to expose the junior’s conspiracy, Xu Ke seemed to see through things and glanced at Song Ming.

Song Ming felt a chill down his back as if he was being stared at by some beast, feeling like the president knew the whole truth.

"Why don’t we switch with another paper and stop using this one? I’ve done this paper before. It’s really unfair, so let’s change to another paper."

Song Ming’s voice was particularly soft; those behind him almost couldn’t hear him, but Ji Feng standing next to Song Ming naturally heard him, looking incredulously at his senior. What’s going on in his senior’s head?

"I warn you, don’t say anything nonsense to me again. This paper is the one I picked, so do it diligently. If you don’t do well, then don’t think about talking to me again; let’s delete our contact information now. Stop acting like some upright gentleman."

Ji Feng was somewhat exasperated, not expecting her senior to act like this, pushing her into deep trouble.

Song Ming lowered his head, but inside he was particularly disappointed. He hadn’t expected the junior he always liked would turn out like this, and even force him to complete this exam. Does he really have to accept such an unfair challenge?

As for this paper, Xu Ke had already seen it before, clearly Ji Feng did this intentionally, but Song Ming wasn’t too bad; he wanted to reveal the truth, right?

However, to free his foolish employee from this calculating woman’s hands, Xu Ke didn’t mind using the truth to wake up Song Ming completely.

"Since the paper has been chosen, let’s start; there’s no need to switch papers."

As soon as Xu Ke finished speaking, Ji Feng instantly breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn’t expected Xu Ke to not notice; given this, it was easier for her to manipulate.

"Hurry up, stop hesitating. I know how brilliant you are, senior, and you want to tackle a harder paper, but you should also consider the president. You can’t just ignore him because of your education; you need to give way a bit. Quickly answer it, stop thinking."

Listening to his junior’s words, Song Ming couldn’t help but turn around and looked complexly at his junior.

At this moment, Ji Feng was stunned, not expecting her senior to show a moment of disappointment towards her. Impossible, didn’t he like her? That was absolutely a mistake on her part.

Seems like she overthought it, as this fool always liked her; how could he possibly give up?

Song Ming felt particularly guilty at this moment, especially to Xu Ke, because he had done this paper before, and not only that, it was crafted jointly by several schools’ professors, making it even harder.

So, scoring ninety then was already the highest in the academy; even doctoral advisors only scored eighty, and no one ever got a full score.

Of course, those at the research institute might score full marks; just that they always scorned doing such papers, focusing wholeheartedly on their research. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Xu Ke took the paper and started working immediately. At that moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on Xu Ke. Xu Ke’s previous tackling of a difficult math paper had already surprised people, so now everyone wanted to see if Xu Ke knew finance knowledge, and unexpectedly Xu Ke began writing.

"Impossible, impossible, right? I think no one can know that much. If he really does, I’m defeated, but it’s absolutely impossible. If he were that capable, how come he doesn’t have credentials?"

"I don’t think he should be that impressive, so everyone relax, don’t add pressure on yourselves. Maybe he knows nothing, and all this is a show."

"Of course, it’s all for show. Did you forget? He once fooled the eldest young lady; now fooling us regular employees is just his specialty, no way he won’t." Ji Feng said, then picked at her nails, feeling particularly relaxed, certain her senior would breeze through.

"Moreover, what do those people surrounding him know? They know nothing, still need to rely on professionals. My senior was invited by the research institute once, but since he couldn’t leave me alone, he didn’t go. Otherwise, he would be in a research institute now, definitely not working at Xiao Group."

Upon hearing Ji Feng’s words, the people became particularly envious, not expecting despite her average looks—not pretty, only slightly cute—she held Song Ming’s devoted affection, truly remarkable, especially company girls were more envious.

Someone as excellent as Song Ming is rare, but now Ji Feng’s personality isn’t great, seems Song Ming suffered quite a bit.

Listening to surrounding praises, Ji Feng was more smug; in university, many pursued her, yet Song Ming seemed educated but appeared poor and stupid, too easy to fool, so she chose Song Ming.

When Ji Feng started working at Xiao Group’s branch, Song Ming received an acceptance letter from abroad yet gave up the golden opportunity to join Xiao Group, wanting to be close to the woman he liked.

As Song Ming continued answering, he looked at the final question and shook his head; he couldn’t solve it. Not even his mentor—who mused for a long time then—could figure it out.
