Both Gifted and Hard Work
Since Wang Hua had agreed with Zhao Youyue decision to enroll at Jiangnan University, there was no need for Zhao Jiayi to express his opinion. He never had a say in anything. Most of the ti, he played the role of a pacifier.
As ntioned in previous chapters, Wang Hua had the heart of a young girl. She was just like a Tsundere in a manga. At ho, she constantly questioned the intelligence of others under her breath, while at the sa ti helping them out wholeheartedly.
A Tsundere mother and a mischevious daughter was quite a handful for the lone male in the house. Nevertheless, they were on good terms, and nothing could separate them. That would be Zhao Jiayi’s chance to play Stellaris all by himself. However, he might have to start calculating the repair bills when they blew the roofs off in their argunts!
Zhao Jiayi was the only person who could talk so sense into them. He was to know that, for it also ant that he had a special place in their hearts.
Zhao Jiayi had no comnts on his daughter’s choice of university. He had always thought that his daughter was just an ordinary person. If she rely graduates from any university, that would be good enough. To his surprise, sothing changed drastically in Junior high. Now, she was the Number One Scholar of the College Entrance Examination. His mind had not yet finished wrapping his mind around things!
It was a huge surprise, but it was a pleasant surprise, and it had been for the better. She had made him really proud!
Zhao Jiayi tried his best to give space for her daughter to grow, hoping that she would grow up healthily and happily. He did not care much about talents and skills. These had all ca as bonuses to the simple happiness that he would have been content with.
So parents have high expectations of their children. Others were like Zhao Jiayi, entrusting their children to their own freedom and choices. As long as their children took control of their life responsibly, there was no need to interfere.
Zhao Youyue had been considered lucky to be born with such open-minded parents. Otherwise, she would not have the chance to start off her own company she would have to hand over the profits from her broadcasts. No, in the first place, she might not even be allowed to do broadcasts
Zhao Youyue had not even started live-streaming in a manner that worried him. She did not bare her body with mini-skirts or deep V blouses. It was how most live-strears started off.
Zhao Youyue was a rare breed among livestrears. She had rose up the ranks by showing real skill, instead of her face. Most people had thought that she was too ugly to do so. Who would have thought that she had genuinely intended to impress the audience with her skills, not her looks?
Most of her fans were hardcore, especially those who had followed her from the beginning. No matter what rumors had to say about Zhao Youyue, they never left her channel, forever waiting patiently for her streams.
Such was the quality of a livestrear with real talent. It was nothing like those who went tits swinging right from the start.
Zhao Youyue finally accepted dia interviews, on the premise that their questions only concerned her achievents as the Number One Scholar of the College Entrance Examination, Jiangnan province. Most of the other outstanding scorers had already been interviewed.
One of the Peking scholar’s honesty in interviews had caused a hot discussion on the internet. He was asked “How did you manage to score so well in the exam?” His answer was
“It is getting tougher for students in rural areas to get into good schools. I was born in a middle-class family with don’t have to worry about food. My parents are both highly educated and we stay in a big city such as Peking. I was placed in better conditions, compared to those students in the rural area. This gave the opportunity to outperform the other students.
Such is the actual state of society. One might not change his fate with knowledge, yet one’s fate may never be changed without knowledge. Number One Scholars could only co from decent families where the parents had been highly educated. In advance, they prepared an environnt that was suitable for children to strive for the best in terms of education.
Among all the Number One Scholars nationwide, Zhao Youyue was the most popular. She shot down all naysayers and skeptics. Her family was well-established and rich. At least 80% of the credit for her achievents should go to her family environnt. I am looking forward to being classmates with her, hahaha!”
The reporter asked Zhao Youyue of what she thought about this statent from the other Number One Scholar.
“I think it is subjective; it depends on both the gifts and hard work of one student. If a student is both gifted and works hard enough, his or her background would not really matter. The most respected people in this world had all been born poor. It’s just like “Venerable Broken Sword” who played “Dark Souls” and tortured the final boss to its death with a broken sword. The experience was both exciting and satisfying!” [1]
Apparently, Zhao Youyue was obsessed in hardcore gas with a high skill requirent. She loved taking the toughest route to enjoy the ga to its fullest.
Her comnts won the heart of netizens. Real geniuses refused to be limited by their family backgrounds. He did not need the support from family to be successful in his own path. Most of the players were not talented nor they wanted to work hard. As a result, they could not even beat a small boss, what more of becoming a Venerable of Broken Sword
Ah Yu was a rarity among all the other gifted and talented youths. She was extraordinary in gas and music. Add on “Number one Scholar” to that, she had beco the stuff of nationwide legends!
Zhao Youyue treated College Entrance Examinations no differently from a challenge in a ga. Now that she had passed the challenge flawlessly, she realized that “Two Dinsional Gates” was no longer in cooldown. She wanted to try her luck. All she needed was to increase the frequency of using the door. Eventually, she would get to the world that she wanted!
