The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

But he carried out his duties conscientiously.

The stock group they established wasn’t something just anyone could join.

In Z Country, there were many rich people, and a vast number of poor ones as well. The poor, because of their lack of money, might not be able to afford medical treatment, might fail to fulfill their dreams, might not be able to attend college, might…

Therefore, one of the criteria for joining this group was poverty.

Other criteria included not engaging in bad habits, having a clean record, and having good credit, among other details.

Over time, they gradually rallied such a group of people, leading them to invest in stocks to earn money, and repeatedly advising them to only invest what they could afford. At the same time, they wouldn’t let them stay in the group forever, they had to leave once they reached a certain level of financial strength.

Lu Mian said she wasn’t running a charity.

But everyone in the group knew she was indeed doing charity work, saving ordinary people struggling in the abyss of poverty one by one with her method. No one could do what she did, and from the bottom of their hearts, they treated her as a deity.

If Lu Mian instructed to check on the members today, she must have sensed something.

Could it be that someone had falsified information to sneak in?

Lu Mian didn’t concern herself with the aftermath.

The next day at school, the physics department’s office had a meeting for the students participating in competitions.

It was rare for Lu Xinnuan, Su Jue, and Lu Mian to be gathered together in a small classroom again.

There were not many seats in the small classroom, and by the time Lu Mian arrived, they were all fully occupied.

Her arrival, like that of an outsider, brought sudden silence to the previously somewhat noisy classroom, as everyone turned their gazes towards her.

Others might not know, but who among those who had participated in physics competitions didn’t know Lu Mian!

The genius who finished exams in an hour and scored full marks…

After a moment’s silence, Lu Xinnuan seemed to realize something and quickly stood up.

“Mianmian, there’s no more room, take my seat!”

Her attitude was sincere and gentle, a picture of sisterly affection, making the others pause.

Su Jue, who was sitting with Lu Xinnuan, didn’t hesitate either, and pulled out a chair to make room.

“Lu Mian, sit with your sister.”

Lu Mian walked straight into the classroom, not responding to their enthusiasm.

Not deviating her gaze, she walked to the back of the classroom, placed one hand on the windowsill, and with a graceful leap, sat on it.

Everyone: So cool!

All Lu Xinnuan, who was being pretentious, could do was to sit back down awkwardly, and so did Su Jue.

The surrounding classmates pitied these two, yet for some reason, couldn’t bring themselves to dislike Lu Mian.

When the responsible teacher came in, he saw the stunningly beautiful short-haired girl, nonchalantly sitting on the windowsill, her hair fluttering in the breeze, looking like she stepped out of a comic book.

Not having a seat should have been an embarrassing situation, yet she never showed the slightest unease.

How strong must her inner self be?

The responsible teacher quickly averted his gaze.

This meeting was mainly about announcing the list of students who qualified for the next round and the date, location, and other details of the upcoming competition.

Lu Mian had no wish to participate, but unexpectedly received a text from Sui Yuan.

“[Mianmian, you’re in a meeting, right? You don’t want to participate in the next round, do you? But I hope you can continue on. If you can get a direct admission… I’ll grant you a wish!]”

Lu Mian wondered if Sui Yuan had installed a surveillance device on her, to be able to guess her thoughts so accurately and without error.

Her gaze rested on the last line of the text.

“[Grant you a wish.]”

Her eyes softened, and with a slight smile, she replied, “[Little Baldy, wait for it.]”
