Switched Life:I Went Viral on a Family Variety Show-Chapter 45 Please Severely Punish the Mulberry Thief
Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Please Severely Punish the Mulberry Thief
Li Juezhou paused in his tracks when he saw the questions on the blank sheet of paper. He quickly shut off the treadmill and stared intently at the screen.
How did Sang Ning know about the intelligence test questions from Zijin Research Institute? These seem to be internal data from the institute, not meant to be circulated externally.
He knew about them because he had a personal connection with their institute director.
[If I’m not mistaken, these look like the intelligence test questions from our institute. Sang Ning graduated from a film academy—how could she know them so clearly, and even reproduce them word for word?]
[I’m not that talented, but I’m currently a prospective graduate student at Zijin Research Institute. I can responsibly confirm that these are indeed our institute’s intelligence test questions. I was tested not long ago, and I remember them clearly. Sadly, as a small fry, I only scored 130 points, ranking at the bottom among all the new students.]
The online community grew curious—what exactly was the Zijin Research Institute? It wasn’t as famous as Tsinghua or Peking University; could it be some third-rate institute?
Are their intelligence tests really difficult? And what does a score of 130 signify?
Unable to suppress their curiosity, netizens turned to Baidu. The moment they saw the description, their jaws nearly dropped.
Zijin Research Institute is the top astronomy research institute in the country. Its status in the field of astronomy far surpasses even Tsinghua and Peking University. It has produced many renowned astronomical scientists, and its various research accomplishments often win international awards.
Under its name, it has established master’s and doctoral programs, and every incoming student must take its self-developed intelligence test.
This test consists of 25 questions, with a maximum score of 150. The average human intelligence range is between 90 and 110; 110–120 represents above-average intelligence, 120–140 is exceptionally gifted, and scoring above 140 is considered genius level.
This intelligence test is the final hurdle for new students entering the institute. After passing the written and oral exams, students are required to take this test. Anyone scoring below 120 is disqualified.
Looking at it this way, the student who scored 130 points on the intelligence test does come across as a bit smug.
But it’s understandable—among those entering Zijin Research Institute, not one is less than extraordinarily brilliant. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
[That said, I just looked it up—this test is classified internal material at Zijin Research Institute. All test-takers are required to sign a confidentiality agreement before taking the test, agreeing not to disclose the questions casually. Violators will be held accountable and potentially expelled in serious cases.]
[I admit Sang Ning writes beautifully and illustrates remarkably, but blatantly reproducing someone else’s internal material on camera like this—can she actually do that? Isn’t this illegal?]
[You believe those two posters just like that, huh? The test questions can’t even be found online—how do you know those two individuals aren’t Sang Ning’s planted shills?]
[Who are you calling a shill? I have a legitimate acceptance letter in my possession. If you keep spouting nonsense, I can sue you for slander.]
[Stop arguing, everyone. The best solution is to ask the official institute to intervene. If what the poster says is true, it means Sang Ning stole the questions through some unknown channel. This is a serious matter and must be dealt with appropriately.]
As a result, a group of viewers from the livestream rushed to tag Zijin Research Institute’s official Weibo.
[The test questions from your institute have been leaked—doesn’t anybody care?]
[How sad—a respectable research institute stooping to mingle with entertainment industry celebrities. Does the future of domestic academia stand any chance at all?]
[Please penalize the student who leaked the questions to Sang Ning. Such behavior is utterly disgraceful!]
Qian Yang was slouched at his office desk, both arms limp, lying as hopelessly as an abandoned old dog.
This year, several major universities jointly launched the campaign #BringScienceToThePublic, and Zijin Research Institute was tasked with astronomical outreach.
He could do science outreach, but public outreach was truly beyond him. Why had the institute director given him such an arduous assignment?
Just as he was racking his brains, his phone buzzed incessantly with message notifications.
Qian Yang sighed as he sat upright and picked up his phone in a listless manner.
It was Weibo. During the campaign, he was in charge of managing the institute’s official account.
Seeing netizens fervently tagging the official account, he suddenly felt a burst of excitement. It was as if a higher power had intervened.
Zijin Research Institute’s official Weibo might be the most pitiful official account in history—it rarely posted, and its follower count was a mere ten thousand.
This was one of Qian Yang’s headaches: with so few followers, any science outreach would only reach a small niche audience. He could’ve just gone through the motions, but resorting to formalism conflicted with the campaign’s original intent.
Judging by the flurry of activity, it seemed the general public was still quite interested in astronomy. With this thought, a slight grin crept onto Qian Yang’s face as he opened Weibo.
But... something seemed off.
What leaked test questions? Who was Sang Ning?
Qian Yang didn’t follow entertainment news and didn’t recognize a single celebrity. As he read through the comments, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Had people commented on the wrong account?
A helpful netizen had attached a link, which Qian Yang followed to enter a livestream.
A pretty young woman was writing and drawing on white paper—was this Sang Ning everyone was talking about? She was quite attractive. But what did this have to do with their institute?
When he saw what Sang Ning was scribbling on the paper, he couldn’t stay calm anymore—it really had to do with their institute.
Where had this young woman gotten the test questions? Someone inside the institute must’ve betrayed them.
Qian Yang couldn’t sit still—he had to report this to the director immediately. Gone was his earlier fatigue; he shot up from his chair and hurriedly made his way to the director’s office.
Sang Ning was unaware of the uproar online. After finishing the questions, she pushed the paper and pen toward Sang Chuan: "Try answering these using your instincts."
Sang Chuan had no idea what game Sang Ning was playing but took the paper and pen, glancing at the questions.
The questions weren’t the stale textbook material—some of them felt like brain teasers. They were oddly intriguing.
Just to give Sang Ning some face, he figured he’d select whichever answer caught his eye.
Sang Chuan picked up the pen and started answering each question.
Ten minutes later, Sang Chuan completed the entire test, handing the answer sheet back to Sang Ning.
Sang Ning collected the sheet, didn’t bother marking it with a pen, and merely skimmed through it before closing the paper.
"Getting every question wrong isn’t an intelligence issue—it’s an attitude problem," Sang Ning stated confidently.
But Sang Chuan wasn’t having it: "What gives you the right to say that? I’ll be straight with you—I do have a deficient IQ. Even if I were to jump off a cliff, I’m done with studying!"
[Even if Sang Ning stole the questions, I still want to know Sang Chuan’s results. Someone who didn’t get a single basic question right—there’s no way his IQ is fine.]
[I’ve already screenshotted Sang Chuan’s answer sheet. Any experts out there willing to analyze his results?]
[Without the official answers, analyzing it would be pointless anyway.]
