Chapter 4 - 4: City Exam
Zhao Ning saw Su Ming had stopped eating, looking listless, and asked with concern,
"My dear son, are you still upset about that matter? Listen to me, don't worry. Your father has already taken care of it, and he will definitely find the person who bullied you and throw him behind bars! As for the school, if you don't want to go there anymore, I'll switch schools for you."
Su Ming felt a little awkward upon hearing Zhao Ning's words.
For some reason, he felt as if he had unwittingly picked up the script of a cannon fodder antagonist.
So, Su Ming spoke to Zhao Ning.
"It's alright, Mother; there's no need to change schools. Besides, the city exams are about to start, and transferring schools now could easily cause complications."
"My dear son, it doesn't matter, whether you do well or poorly on the city exams."
Zhao Ning was still a bit worried about Su Ming, fearing he would be overwhelmed if he returned to school. After all, she knew very well that her son was an introvert with very fragile and sensitive emotional endurance.
"Didn't you always want to go back to Starlight City? Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to get back there through the exams," Su Ming said earnestly.
The so-called city exam was a highly important entrance test organized by the old Federation, said to be a stepping stone to greater heights. It was also an important means for residents from various districts and other planets to enter the three main cities.
Su Ming's family had actually moved down from Starlight City. The Su Family was quite an esteemed financial empire there. His father, Su Yuan, the ninth son of the current Su Family patriarch, Su Zhen Tian, was assigned to live in the Thirteenth District due to his mediocre talent.
