All schools resumed classes during the autumn. After a few quiet and peaceful days, Xia Wen suddenly came to Qiao Mei’s house. He held up a document and walked over to her with a smile. “l have good news for you. Make a guess what it is.”

“Is the economy fully open?” Qiao Mei asked.

Xia Wen shook his head and said, “Guess again.”

“Don’t tell me the country is giving me a new reward?” Qiao Mei asked again.

“There is indeed a reward for you, but I can’t tell you about it yet. The details are still confidential. Those seeds of yours have already been harvested and have sold well, so we’ve made a lot of money from overseas. However, the accounts are not finalized yet. When that is done, you’ll definitely get a reward. Don’t be too anxious,” Xia Wen said.

“Then... then can I choose my own reward?” Qiao Mei said excitedly.

“Let’s see how it goes. I’ll let you know after the decision is made. However,

I’m not here about this matter. I’m here about your education,” Xia Wen said.

“If you don’t believe me, go and ask your mentor. This slot has long been given to Qiao Mei, a freshman! Stop daydreaming!” That person left after saying that but many people had overheard their conversation.

It was so rare to have a slot to study abroad and they had not even started working hard for it, so how could the slot be already gone? If the person who had taken the slot was a student in the third or fourth year, they would find it hard to object. After all, such a student had already amassed enough knowledge. However, Qiao Mei was just a freshman and had not even learned much! What right did she have to take the slot?

This was an opportunity to bring glory to the country. Would it not be embarrassing to send someone who knew nothing to study abroad? It would be so embarrassing for Capital University and the students.

“We can’t accept this!”

“Why can Qiao Mei study abroad! We should be able to go too!”

“How can the slot be just given away! We object!’

Very quickly, many students held up protest signs stating that they were against Qiao Mei being sent to study abroad and they held a demonstration in front of the principal’s office building. Now that the economy was developing rapidly and everyone was striving for fairness and justice, such an incident of giving something to a predetermined person definitely made the public feel angry.

Xie Jing led the students from the agriculture faculty to protest and asked the school for an explanation. The school found it really difficult to appease the sudden public anger, so they called up Xia Wen and asked him for help. Xia Wen asked helplessly, “Should we just tell everyone about your collaboration with the country? This way, they can’t object to you being chosen anymore. It’ll be obvious that you deserve the slot.”

“Forget it. I don’t want to be so showy. If we do that, everyone will hate me even more,” Qiao Mei said..
