“That’s why I called this a ‘deal’.” Liao Shanshan continued, “The capital university always grants one student from the City of Brisk a spot in their university. This person also does not have to go through the entrance examination process. I doubt you are just going to let this opportunity go?”

Qiao Nian’s heart skipped a beat but continued to appear calm. “I do want the spot. I am going to work towards it myself.”

“Oh, please!” Liao Shanshan said, “Your grades aren’t bad, but it’s not the most outstanding nor the most stable.”

“Ye Fan from my class has always been number 1 in this school every single year. Even thunder cannot strike him out of that spot. Plus, he is a famous Go player from the City of Brisk.”

“The school is going to choose the candidate that gets the free pass to the university. There is an 80% chance that he will be chosen.”

“Even if Ye Fan doesn’t get chosen. There’s Qi Rui from class 8. Then there’s Jiang Yi and Lin Xiyan from your class, all of whom are top students.”

“How confident are you that you will get that spot?”

Qiao Nian was hit where it hurt. She wasn’t happy about this but she couldn’t deny that these were all facts, “What are you getting at?”

Liao Shanshan continued, “Your English teacher is my aunt and the director of the teaching and research department. You can fact check that.”

“She has a lot of say on this matter. If you help me, I am going to get you her vote. What do you say?”

Qiao Nian’s heart started to beat faster. After thinking about it for some time, she responded, “I can ask Luo Chen to do something, but whether he can handicap her arm or not isn’t up to me.”

Liao Shanshan smiled. “All I’m asking you to do is to ask Luo Chen to do this. As for all the other stuff, I will find a way.”

Qiao Nian nodded. “I hope you can remember your promise.”

Liao Shanshan replied, “Don’t worry. I am not a good student and I cannot compete against you. My aunt loves me and she always listens to what I have to say.”

Qiao Nian only smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

After the two parted, Qiao Nian returned to the hallway furthest from her classroom; she looked depressed.
