The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 73

“The person’s got something special about them, that’s what I was saying,” the Secretary–General mused, his gaze drifting to some distant thought.

The Chairman took a moment to ponder the comment before turning his attention to the stack of exam papers on his desk. He was particularly interested in the last question–the one John had crafted, a complex physics problem.

After a while, a look of admiration spread across the Chairman’s face. Leaning back in his chair, he let out an impressed sigh. “Indeed, this student’s not ordinary at all. Look at how elegantly he set up these equations, not a single superfluous step, and the method used is quite original–simpler than the solution John sent us.”

Although the Secretary–General wasn’t well–versed in physics, he could tell from the Chairman’s reaction that whoever had solved the problem had an incredible mind. The Secretary–General’s expression became slightly restrained and said, “John has been searching for a protégé with an exceptional gift in physics. Should we recommend this Parkside High School student who aced the test?”

The Chairman removed his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose, giving himself a few seconds before replying. “Let’s not rush things. An initial test like this doesn’t show us much. After all this top scorer is a humanities student. For all we know, this student might have just lucked out on John’s question.”

The Secretary–General found it to be reasonable. “Alright then, we’ll wait and see how the student does in the city
