Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?

Chapter 143: Chapter 142: The Boss of Huadong City

"Ah? Oh, sure, you can come in now."

The security guard realized his lapse in manners following Su Mu’s question.

Huadong International Middle School was the elite school of Huadong City.

It wasn’t without precedent for students to drive themselves to school after graduation.

There was no need to ask for permission; the guard simply pressed the button to open the electric gate and let them through.

"Isn’t this the most impressive car any student has driven here in years?"

Listening to the Ferrari’s audacious roar, the guard muttered to himself.

Su Mu parked the car and walked into the classroom hand in hand with Jiang Xinxuan.

Since they were basically graduated, it didn’t really break the school’s rule against on-campus romance.

"Su Mu, you’re here."

Four Eyes’ booming voice was truly omnipresent—no sooner had Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan approached the classroom door than Four Eyes shouted out.

The classroom was already filled with many classmates; Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan were among the last to arrive.

Due to Four Eyes’ shout, the originally lively classroom suddenly quieted down.

Everyone already knew about Su Mu’s identity.

Even those who didn’t attend the class reunion heard about the shocking news from other classmates.

Some internally regretted their decisions.

If they had known there was such an influential figure in their class, they would have attended the reunion even if hail was falling from the sky—it might have been their last chance to network with Su Mu.

Of course, filling in university choices could also be an opportunity.

"Su Mu, you’re here."

"Su Mu, you did so well in the exams, I heard the teacher say you were the runner-up, right?"

"What runner-up? If you separate the arts and sciences, Su Mu is straight-up the science top scholar, alright?"

...

And there it was—all very adept at seizing the opportunity to get on Su Mu’s good side.

Su Mu just smiled and walked to his seat with Jiang Xinxuan in tow.

Originally, Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan were not desk mates.

But since their relationship had been made public at the class reunion, everyone naturally understood.

Su Mu’s former desk mate quickly gave up his seat willingly.

Today was just for filling in university choices, not for attending classes, so there was no need to sit in assigned seats.

A few girls stood off to the side, wanting to approach but not daring to, feeling quite awkward.

These were the girls who had been persistently asking Jiang Xinxuan in her social circle which master photographer had taken those beautiful pictures of her.

They had agreed to surround Jiang Xinxuan as soon as she appeared, determined to get an answer.

However, when they saw Jiang Xinxuan being led by the hand by Su Mu all the time, the girls chickened out.

At Huadong International Middle School, Su Mu was already an extraordinary presence.

Because of his looks and because he was an academic star.

Now that Su Mu’s status as the young master of the Su Family group had been confirmed, everyone was even more reluctant to be presumptuous.

So the girls could only look on eagerly as Jiang Xinxuan happily sat next to Su Mu, without daring to disturb them.

"Su Mu, which university are you planning to fill in?"

Four Eyes remembered this was the second time he had asked Su Mu this question.

Last time, Su Mu had said he hadn’t decided yet, and Four Eyes hadn’t gotten an answer.

But today was the day to fill in university choices, and Four Eyes felt sure Su Mu must have an answer by now.

The others also perked up their ears, waiting for Su Mu’s response.

They all had their plans—if they could attend the same university as Su Mu.

Then the high school friendships could continue, and by the time they graduated from university, they would have the foundation of many years of friendship.

If they needed Su Mu’s help with something in the future, it would make it more convenient to ask.

Some were simply curious.

Because of their own academic performance, these people knew it was impossible for them to attend the same university as Su Mu.

Su Mu hooked the corner of his mouth slightly; his plans to attend Z University were no secret.

Just as Su Mu was about to give an answer,

"Su Mu, come with me to the principal’s office."

The class teacher suddenly appeared at the classroom door.

Since everyone’s attention was on Su Mu, no one had noticed when the class teacher arrived.

The class teacher looked at Su Mu with a beaming smile.

The class teacher had always been very fond of Su Mu. For a teacher, having a top student like Su Mu was a rare blessing.

Some teachers might go their entire careers without encountering a student like Su Mu.

It could be said that for the three years of high school, Su Mu had always been the class teacher’s pride.

This time, Su Mu had secured another top overall ranking, becoming the valedictorian in science.

The class teacher felt that Su Mu had brought considerable honor to him.

Now, the class teacher even stood straighter when facing the principal.

Su Mu was the best-performing student in the Huadong City International Middle School college entrance examinations in nearly ten years.

In the future, Su Mu would be a living advertisement for the school’s recruitment efforts in Huadong City.

"Okay,"

Although Su Mu did not know why the class teacher asked him to go to the principal’s office,

he had always respected the class teacher.

Throughout his three years of high school, Su Mu had been studying as a student from an ordinary family.

But in this international school filled with children from wealthy families, the class teacher had never treated Su Mu any differently.

On the contrary, he had shown a particular fondness for Su Mu.

So, now when the class teacher called for Su Mu, Su Mu stood up immediately.

"Su Mu?"

Jiang Xinxuan had no idea what was happening and tugged at Su Mu’s hand.

Choosing college preferences was something the class teacher was supposed to supervise in the classroom, and there was absolutely no need for Su Mu to go out alone.

Not to mention, there was no need to go to the principal’s office.

"It’s nothing."

Patting Jiang Xinxuan’s hand, Su Mu reassured his girlfriend.

Jiang Xinxuan thought about it and realized it made sense.

With his excellent college entrance exam scores and being the young master of the Su Family Group, what could go wrong?

Maybe the principal found out Su Mu’s true identity and wanted to forge a connection with him.

Having figured it out, Jiang Xinxuan stopped worrying and let go of Su Mu’s hand.

The whole class watched as Su Mu and the class teacher left the classroom.

"Are we not filling out college preferences now?"

"Why didn’t the class teacher say anything?"

"Just leaving us here like this?"

Everyone exchanged looks of confusion.

Filling out college preferences was a very important event that might even impact a person’s entire life.

Now the class teacher had left without a word, taking Su Mu with him to the principal’s office.

It all seemed rather inexplicable to everyone.

"Maybe Su Mu’s grades are so good that he gets to choose his preferences first?"

Someone speculated.

"Do you think it’s because the principal knows Su Mu’s real identity and wants to curry favor with him?"

"No way, right? The principal seems like an upright person. I’ve never heard of him trying to cozy up to any student."

"That’s because there hasn’t been anyone who necessitated the principal’s flattery. But Su Mu is different; he’s the heir to the Su Family Group."

"You know the Su Family Group, right? The big boss of Huadong City."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt there was some logic to it and fell silent.
