Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

“I’ll give you a pen.” Dean Jiang passed his pen to her.

She took the pen and then sat down on a chair.

Instead of writing straight away, she just looked through the four papers. They were all freshmen professional courses.

Flipping from the college Physics to the Computer Programming paper, she paused at the last test paper.

“Of course, this last test paper is confusing to those who have yet to study it.” Zhou Ying noticed her hesitation. He had asked the assistant to find the freshmen paper with the most number of failures. “That’s why I said that the freshmen sources aren’t for you…”

“No.” Qin Ran raised her hand and tapped the pen with her fingertips. “This last test paper has to be operated on a computer. There’s a program in it,” she said earnestly.

Picking up his teacup and standing aside, Dean Jiang smiled and said patiently, “You can use my computer.”

Qin Ran nodded and thanked him. “Okay.”

Every year at Beijing University, a computer room would normally be specially opened up for such test papers that required computer operations. Most of the questions were half-completed procedures that the candidate would then have to complete.

How was she going to complete half of the program on a random computer? Zhou Ying stood aside and originally wanted to tell her to operate it in the computer room. But when Qin Ran replied “Okay” so decisively, he suddenly stopped. Instead of reminding her, he held onto his teacup calmly.

Who told her to underestimate Automation!

On the side, Qin Hanqiu looked on in a bundle of nerves. He repeatedly asked Cheng Mu if something was wrong.

Qin Ling, on the other hand, sat beside Cheng Juan calmly, playing games on his phone.

Cheng Mu comforted Qin Hanqiu and looked down at the game on Qin Ling’s phone.

It was a jumping grid game.

The square design looked rather interesting.

Cheng Mu felt like it suited him and whispered, “What game is this? Where can I download it?”

Glancing at him expressionlessly, Qin Ling paused and then fixated his eyes on the lace umbrella in Cheng Mu’s hand. He replied indifferently, “You can’t download it. My sister programmed it.”

Cheng Mu: “… Oh.”

He wiped his face and turned back.

They spoke in low voices, and Qin Hanqiu didn’t hear them. He just looked down at Qin Ling, wondering why he wasn’t worried about his sister.

Wasn’t Qin Ling the happiest to come to Beijing?

While she was writing, Dean Jiang and Zhou Ying chatted with Cheng Juan.

Qin Ran wrote according to the order of the papers.

She started with the college Physics paper. The content of the freshmen year wasn’t very profound, but the question setter had included tricky questions. It was easy for any student who didn’t listen properly in lectures and study the subjects seriously to fall into the trap, but Qin Ran had read Lu Zhixin’s books and answered the questions smoothly.

Compared to the high school papers, the college papers didn’t have as many questions, but the four major questions accounted for a high percentage of points.

Qin Ran finished the college Physics paper in only half an hour.

The Power System Engineering and Intelligence Control papers weren’t as tricky in comparison, especially the power system paper. She understood the large power diagrams at a glance.

She only spent forty minutes on those two papers.

After a little over an hour, she finished the three papers and turned on the computer on the table. “Dean Jiang, I’m borrowing your computer.”

Dean Jiang was a little stunned. “Have you finished writing all three?”

How long had she taken?!

Squinting, Qin Ran first entered a string of codes to analyze the computer data. She muttered “Yeah” and started operating on the computer.

Dean Jiang’s computer only had the office software, so she opened the editor directly.

The question wasn’t set on the computer, so she made a semi-completed program according to the question’s prompt.

On this side, Zhou Ying put down his teacup and walked over to pick up her three papers. They were all fully written.

He didn’t have time to study the questions and went directly to the assistant for the freshmen’s final exams for answers.

The assistant had a terrible headache. After finally getting the test papers, he had to search the database for the answer again, which he sent to Zhou Ying within two minutes.

Sitting down, Zhou Ying put aside his phone and checked the answers against the test paper without marking it.

His expression was extremely calm as he checked the answers. But slowly, his calm demeanor gradually cracked, and his casual attitude changed drastically. He sat upright slowly.

Noticing the change in his attitude, Dean Jiang glanced at him inadvertently. “Dr. Zhou?”

Ignoring him, Dr. Zhou quickly picked up the next test paper and checked the answer almost without blinking.

He became extremely serious and was instantly dumbfounded.

Standing up violently, he rechecked the three test papers, one after the other. Taking a deep breath, he picked up his phone and sent a message to the assistant—

[Are you sure you took the test papers with the most number of failures?]

The assistant on the other end of the phone was very young and was previously Dr. Zhou’s apprentice. Thinking he had made a mistake, he replied apprehensively—

[Yes, are you not satisfied with the difficulty of the questions? Then, I’ll tell the teachers to make the exams more difficult this year.]

Zhou Ying picked up the college Physics paper and looked through the last few big questions again. It was really not a simple question. The teacher who had set this question had seriously set a trap for the candidates.

Beijing University not only assembled the best students in the country, but the students also excelled among the crowd. The level of difficulty of the papers was certainly not low given the number of failures.

But…

Zhou Ying was stiff for a long while, his mouth hanging open. He reread Qin Ran’s answer—

She didn’t make a single mistake…

It even made him wonder if she had stolen the answers to the final exam of Beijing University?

At the thought of Qin Ran’s second major, Zhou Ying turned his head silently and glanced at her. He felt a little comforted. At least there was Computer Programming…

Among these four courses, she was the best at Computer Programming.

The programming was basically an introduction for freshmen, so it was only a matter of hand speed to Qin Ran.

It had taken Zhou Ying nearly twenty minutes to ask for and compare the answers. In that time, Qin Ran had already restored the test papers on the computer and had completed the questions.

Putting the mouse aside, she stood up and glanced at Zhou Ying. “Dr. Zhou, I’m done.”

Zhou Ying was stunned. “You’re also done with the programming?”

Nodding, Qin Ran reached out to pull her chair. She stepped aside and let Zhou Ying come over to take a look.

Zhou Ying put down the test papers and his phone and walked over.

He glanced at the completed answer on the programming question…

They all had offices, so how could he not know that the offices didn’t have such a system?!

Staring at this scene, he was momentarily silent. He never imagined things to develop in such a way, nor did he think that Qin Ran would even know computer programming. Most importantly, it wasn’t just surface-knowledge…

Zhou Ying’s expression was unpredictable. Leaning on the table, Qin Ran folded her arms and raised an eyebrow. She thought for a while and said, “How about this? If you think it’s not enough, you can give me the papers for the other courses…”

“No!” Zhou Ying suddenly sobered up. “Enough, it’s completely enough! You don’t have to do the other test papers!”

He looked seriously at her. “You want to study nuclear engineering, right? Okay, you can. I’ll approve it for you. Come to me to get a report when school starts. However, you’ll have to participate in the activities for automation.”

“That goes without saying.” Qin Ran smiled lazily.

“You can go.” At a loss for words, Zhou Ying just waved her away. “Remember to report to school on time.”

Seeing that they had settled the matter, Cheng Juan put down the cup in his hand and got up. He politely bid farewell to Dean Jiang. “Carry on with your work. We’ll take our leave first.”

Dean Jiang didn’t know why Zhou Ying’s attitude had suddenly changed, but it went without saying that Qin Ran had done well.

Getting up, he waited for them to leave before walking back into his office and asking Zhou Ying, “What happened? How did she do?”

The computer screen was still showing the programming.

Dean Jiang belonged to the Department of Physics and had never studied programming before. He glanced at him and continued asking, “Did she complete the computer programming test too? I’ll let the teachers from the Department of Computing take a look later…”

There were no computer teachers in the Physics Department, and most of the computer teachers were professors in the Computing Department.

This explained Dean Jiang’s suggestion.

Rooted to the spot and deep in thought, he suddenly reacted after hearing Dean Jiang. “Don’t, don’t send it to them!” he exclaimed, floundering.

Dean Jiang was taken aback, and the cup in his hand almost fell. “Why- why?” he asked.

Why?

Zhou Ying glanced at Dean Jiang, unable to express his pain. “Don’t you know that there’s no examination system on our computer?”

Dean Jiang nodded. Of course, he knew that.

“Then, you didn’t realize that she moved the examination system from the Academic Affairs office’s computer to your computer?!”
