Chapter 134: 131 full marks! The teachers are thrilled [3 more updates]
The option section of this paper is written.
Although it didn’t fill the entire page, every stroke was neat and tidy.
It seemed casual between the lines, but it definitely wasn’t written carelessly.
The Head of the Physics Group stopped humming and gradually became serious.
He leaned in closer and began to look carefully.
Then he realized that the steps on this answer sheet, except for the first two, were different from the standard answer.
The standard answer had sixteen steps, but the answer sheet only had seven.
However, the final calculated answers were the same.
The Head of the Physics Group knew that the questions chosen on this answer sheet were from the elective modules 3-4, on mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves.
But the question also involved relativity, which was why many students couldn’t solve it.
The answer was not any precise figure but a long string of equations.
The kind you couldn’t even guess, let alone write every letter correctly.
The Head of the Physics Group stared at this answer sheet for a long time, and he was completely flabbergasted.
Because he couldn’t understand this kind of problem-solving approach.
As it was different from the standard answer, he found it difficult to award marks, so he had to call the Dean of Studies.
“Hello, Dean?” As soon as the call was answered, the Head of the Physics Group asked hurriedly, “Who set the physics paper for the Elite Class this time?”
He was the one teaching the Elite Class, but being able to teach did not mean he could set exam questions.
To set questions, his skills had to be even higher.
“It has always been set by the Department of Physics at Imperial Capital University,” the Dean of Studies replied puzzledly, “What’s the issue?”
“Didn’t Imperial University provide any alternate answers?” the Head of the Physics Group asked with a frown, “There should be multiple ways to approach a problem, right?”
Mathematics and physics are unlike other subjects, especially with proof problems; there are usually multiple methods.
“They should, you can call them yourself,” the Dean of Studies said dismissively, “I’m at the beach, about to go into the sea. Don’t bother me.”
Head of the Physics Group: “…”
He hung up the phone angrily, wanting to add the Dean of Studies to his blacklist.
But he had no choice, so he found the contact information for the Department of Physics at Imperial Capital University and made another call.
This time, the person who set the exam was a young professor.
He was only in his early thirties, but the questions he posed were devilishly tricky; they seemed easy at first glance, but once you started, you wouldn’t know what to write.
After the Head of the Physics Group sent over the answer sheet’s problem-solving approach, it didn’t take long for a response to come from the other side.
[Quick, quick, quick! Tell me who did this?]
[Three minutes, I want all the information on this student!]
The Head of the Physics Group wiped some sweat and asked back.
[So it’s correct?]
[Of course, it’s correct, damn it, how did I not think of that? To think it could be solved like this, never mind, just give me this student’s information, if I don’t recruit them into our Department of Physics, am I even human?]
Looking at this string of replies, the Head of the Physics Group was truly astounded.
The Department of Physics at Imperial Capital University was ranked within the top five in the world, not far behind the top universities abroad.
To actively recruit someone was unheard of; it was usually the students clamoring to apply and not necessarily being accepted.
The Head of the Physics Group also wanted to know which student it was, but unfortunately, names were not visible during marking.
[The grading is sealed; I don’t know either. I’ll send it to you once the total results are out.]
[Okay, okay, okay, hurry up; it’s easier for me to buy a plane ticket.]
After dealing with the somewhat crazy young professor, the physics teacher took a moment to collect himself, entered a full score for the paper, and then continued grading the remaining papers with trembling hands.

Hengdian Film and Television City.
The news that Luo Ziyue was kicked out was no longer a secret; within a day, it had spread throughout the entire film crew, causing quite a stir among many.
“She must have hit a snag, or else she wouldn’t have bolted.”
“I’ve been sick of her for a long time; she always had that deathly pale face, I don’t know who she’s showing it to. Just a secondary actress, but she acted as if the whole crew had to cater to her, thick-skinned.”
“It can’t be helped; she has a financier backing her, doesn’t she? Even her debut was bought, so what can’t she do?”
The other actors had long been dissatisfied with Luo Ziyue, yet they couldn’t do anything about it.
Previously, a female actor was kicked out of the crew just for talking back to Ziyue.
What comes around goes around, now it was Ziyue’s turn.
“What are you all muttering about?” the producer asked authoritatively as he walked over, “Hurry up and get ready; we’re about to start shooting.”
The actors immediately fell silent and started to straighten out their clothes.
They were filming a web series, not a big production, and couldn’t afford to waste time.
As for Nie Chao, starting his own company was just for fun; if you asked him to invest in a big production, he’d find it too bothersome.
Moreover, it’s easier to get web series approved, and the production is quick.
A series can be completed in a month.
“Boss, what kind of play do you want to watch?” Nie Chao was beaming with joy. “I’ll have them customize it just for you—the script, the actors, the genre, it’s all up to you.”
Ying Zijin was propping up her chin, watching a live version of concubines fighting with great interest, “Melodrama.”
Nie Chao: “…”
Wait, do people actually enjoy melodramatic shows?
“Great!” Nie Chao slapped his thigh. “I’ll get them to add in two cases of amnesia, three suicide attempts by drowning, and four miscarriages!”
Having said that, he got up to find the producer.
Not far away——
A man and a woman were walking over.
At the sight of something, the man suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The woman beside him frowned and followed his gaze, saying coldly, “Yaozhi, what are you looking at?”
Shang Yaozhi didn’t answer and just walked away.
When he reached the girl, he stopped, “God Ying… Miss, I didn’t expect to encounter you here.”
Ying Zijin looked up, “Coincidence.”
She didn’t say a word more.
“I’ve been a bit busy with work and haven’t had the time to thank Miss Ying in person,” Shang Yaozhi coughed lightly, smiling slightly. “The prescription you gave was very helpful; my vocal cords have recovered.”
“Don’t mention it.” Ying Zijin glanced at him again and stepped aside, her voice indifferent, “Go ahead and watch.”
Fu Yunshen was playing with her hair and looked up when he heard her, “?”
“The good-looking male celebrity you wanted to see.”
“…”
Nothing is scarier than a sudden silence.
“I am just a patient of Miss Ying,” Shang Yaozhi was the first to break the silence, explaining, “I came here to thank her.”
Fu Yunshen’s fingers paused, and he suddenly smiled, “Oh?”
Ying Zijin ignored the two of them and continued watching the drama unfold.
“Mr. Shang, no need to be so formal,” Fu Yunshen leaned back, “The kid’s right, I am here to see good-looking male celebrities.”
“I’m honored,” Shang Yaozhi’s chin lifted slightly, pointing to the right, “I’m shooting over there. If you’re interested, you can come and watch. I won’t disturb you any longer now.”
After saying thanks again, he left.

Evening.
The lights were bright, and the crowd was bustling.
There was a performance at Hengdian today, featuring several popular young celebrities as special guests.
Many tourists came just for this event and bought tickets.
Ying Zijin was not particularly interested in the performance; after visiting backstage, she planned to go back and browse the NOK forum to see if there were any bounties to take on.
By eight o’clock, it was dark, and Fu Yunshen, not comfortable with her being alone, waited outside for her.
When he saw her come out, he nodded slightly, “Yaoyao, let’s go.”
They had only taken a few steps when suddenly there was an uproar to their right.
A staff member was shouting at the top of their lungs, “Where’s the dance costume? Who took the box with the dance costume?!”
“What do we do? They’re about to go on stage to perform soon, and now the costumes are missing, how can they perform?”
“Aren’t they backstage? Go look for them quickly! There are still five minutes until the next act; there’s time to find them, hurry up!”
Once the Head of the Physics Group spoke, the staff became frantic in their search for the box.
But the venue was large and crowded, and there was no clear lead at the moment—no one knew where to start looking.
It was only when a leader came down from above and angrily started talking did someone suggest, “Idiots, go check the surveillance. If the box was just backstage, it couldn’t have just flown away, right?”
It was then that some staff went to the surveillance room to check the footage.
Fu Yunshen looked back for a moment and commented flatly, “It’s not Nie Chao’s company.”
Implicitly suggesting, they needn’t get involved.
But after taking only another step, Ying Zijin stopped.
Her phoenix eyes swept around, her gaze cold.
Fu Yunshen also stopped, “Yaoyao?”
At that moment, from the other side, a staff member shouted.
“The surveillance footage, we’ve found it!”
“Quick, let’s see who it is.”
Another staff member came out from backstage with a laptop, immediately starting to play the surveillance footage.
After watching, he lifted his head, searching the crowd for someone.
The Head of the Physics Group rushed over in a panic and demanded, “What’s the situation? Did you find it? Who took the dance costume?”
“Head, we’ve found the culprit,” the staff member turned and pointed at a girl, his tone icy, “This lady, she was the last one to leave.”
