Chapter 353

Naturally, Sun Yan was talking about the fundraiser she organised for Jing Yun Zhao.

However, in actuality, she only heard about Jing Yun Zhao coincidentally, and the one who raised the matter about Jing Yun Zhao was Ji Shan Shan.

At that time, Ji Shan Shan was emotionally influenced by the matter online, and she got her parents to donate some medicine to Jing Yun Zhao, and later on she found Cui Jun and wouldnt stop telling Cui Jun about how pitiful Jing Yun Zhao was. As a result, Cui Jun was very annoyed and found Sun Yan to complain to.

At first, she too didnt care about Jing Yun Zhao, as Jing Yun Zhao was someone irrelevant. However, coincidentally after a few days pa.s.sed, her schools forum was holding a compet.i.tion for the Most Influential Person of The Year award, and although the chosen winner wouldnt receive any monetary awards, the winner would be invited to a high-end establishment.

Although it was only a school event that was organised by a few rich second-generation students, she could still use this chance to network with some people in high society and to see how these people enjoy their daily life. She wanted to do so because although she wasnt lacking when it came to clothing and food in the Cui Family, she was still considered beneath them, and although the Cui Family had money, they couldnt compete with other businessmen.

However, to win this compet.i.tion, one must be unique to stand out. After all, the school was filled with countless beauties of all types, and to compete in that same category would be a hard battle to win.

It was at that moment, she reached an epiphany and thought of a method to win, which was to organise a fundraiser for Jing Yun Zhao, creating an image of benevolence for herself.

At the time, she used many ways to raise awareness towards the issue, adding onto the fact that the issue was also going viral at the time, she succeeded in gaining the attention of many students.

If Jing Yun Zhaos situation at that time couldnt give her any benefits, she wouldnt have even cast a glance towards her direction.

Jing Yun Zhao merely gave Sun Yan a glance, with a trace of disdain flas.h.i.+ng past.

The amount of people who wanted to help me are many, yet they didnt manage to help me in the end But youre the first person Ive seen that showed-off in front of me despite not helping me. Little Miss Sun, I know that youre compa.s.sionate, and are very willing to help people, but you dont need to raise the matter time and time again. Jing Yun Zhao said before continuing, The second round should be starting soon right? If youre satisfied with the results from the first round, then we can continue and itll be considered a win for me, and if you were to forfeit now, I would obviously be the winner and you would have to follow through with our agreed terms and get out of my sight.

Finis.h.i.+ng her words, Jing Yun Zhao simply turned around and went to collect her papers.

Her handwriting was the result of the amount of practice she put in, in her past life. Before, not only did she partic.i.p.ate in multiple compet.i.tions, but even after she went to jail, she continued practicing.

The skills she had now, werent just picked up simply from the ground it was the crystallization of her desperate efforts.

Hearing her words, the corner of Sun Yans lips trembled before she replied, Lets continue

Currently, the skies were turning darker, but as more and more lights were turned on, it was as if it was daytime at the courtyard, and underneath the light, Jing Yun Zhaos calm and dazzling att.i.tude could be seen.

All the judges also went back to their seats, before one of them announced, The second round will be about recognizing different herbs and medicines, and explaining said herbs and medicines characteristics, and it will still be a written test.

With the judge finis.h.i.+ng his words, stalks of plants were placed on the table in front of the two compet.i.tors, some were fresh, some were dried, while some werent herbs but came from different parts of a herb, and all of them had to be deduced correctly.

Some of the medicine only used a herbs roots, but someone whos truly experienced in medicine would be able to identify which herb the medicine belonged to just by seeing a herbs sprout or by its smell.

This second round was truly testing the talent and knowledge of the compet.i.tors.

After the first round, Sun Yan felt that she would never be able to win if the compet.i.tion was still based on memorization.

At last, Sun Yan finally regained her lost confidence. After all, she was someone who frequently visited the Cui Familys library that was filled with books about medicinal materials. Moreover, she would even help the Cui Family process medicinal materials sometimes. As a result, she felt that it would be a walk in the park since it was just recognizing medicine and herbs, and as for explaining a medicine or herbs characteristics, its difficulty was the same for Sun Yan.

The two people once again lowered their pen.

While Jing Yun Zhao had a serious att.i.tude, as if she was immersed in her own world, she would take a careful look at every single medicine and herb, give it a sniff, before distinguis.h.i.+ng what medicine or herb it was and writing it down.
