Chapter 1115: She Got It
The class advisor turned his gaze coolly toward Zhao Ling, his voice infuriatingly calm.
"Wanting fairness isn’t wrong, Zhao Ling," he said. "But if all you expect from life is fairness, then you’re terribly mistaken. Out there in the real world, no one will throw aside necessary standards just to be fair to you. Survival of the fittest, merit before mercy—this is the most important lesson you must learn in university."
He sincerely hoped Zhao Ling would take his words to heart. She was, after all, a diligent student, and if she could just broaden her mind a little, her future prospects could be dazzling.
Unfortunately, Zhao Ling was having none of it. In her mind, the advisor was simply playing favorites again. Just because Gu Zi had aced the entrance exams didn’t mean she was automatically better at everything else too, did it?
This opportunity was far too good to pass up, and Zhao Ling wasn’t about to sit idly by. She lifted her chin and said, "Sir, I just feel that this opportunity is crucial for all of us. How can you be so certain that Gu Zi will outperform everyone else?"
The advisor regarded her for a long, silent moment. Then, he decided he wouldn’t waste another breath indulging her stubbornness.
"Zhao Ling," he said flatly, "are you suggesting that you could do a better job than Gu Zi? Let me tell you right now—you can’t. Not you, not anyone else in this room, including myself, can match her proficiency."
The class collectively stiffened at the bluntness of his words.
