Chen Mo stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly held the letter containing the secret that his mother had given him.

Chen Mo, in order to defeat his competitors and gain the opportunity to study in the gifted class, stopped speaking and focused entirely on answering the questions.

It took Chen Mo twenty-five minutes to complete the test, and then he quickly handed the test paper to the old man, saying, "Sir, I've finished answering the questions. Can we end the timing now?"

The old man laughed and said, "Of course we can—you spent a total of twenty-five minutes."

Chen Mo asked a bit nervously, "Sir, if we don't consider whether the answers are right or wrong, what place does my answering speed rank among the students taking the test?"

Before the old man could speak, a young man sitting next to him gave a thumbs up and said, "In terms of answering speed, you rank first!"

Chen Mo finally relaxed and said, "Oh, that's good—can you check the answers to see if they are correct?"

In fact, the old man had already been fully focused on Chen Mo's answers while he was taking the test. Hearing this, he smiled happily and said, "I already checked your answers carefully while you were answering. You didn't make any mistakes. Congratulations, you've passed the written test. Next, we'll move on to the psychological assessment."

Chen Mo hesitated and said, "What? The written test is over? That can't be right. There's still Chinese, English—"

Before Chen Mo could finish speaking, the old man waved his hand and smiled, "There's no need to test those areas. The test you just took mainly covered math, physics, and chemistry. These are the subjects that truly determine the outcome. Your humanities subjects have already met the standards—scoring so high in the middle school entrance exam shows that your humanities skills are sufficient."

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Oh, I see. Let's start the psychological assessment then."

The old man nodded and said to a young man sitting next to him, "Xiao Li, let's start."

Xiao Li, who had been unable to understand Chen Mo's answering method, had puzzled Chen Mo. After all, even a typical university professor could understand mathematical models, but this guy couldn't. It was clear that he wasn't very good at math. Chen Mo wasn't sure how this guy could be assessing students, but now he understood that his main focus was on psychology.

Xiao Li cleared his throat and said, "Chen Mo, we have already done a basic understanding of your family background. I'm very curious about how you view the fact that your parents are disabled?"

This question was clearly testing whether Chen Mo's character had any flaws due to this matter. Chen Mo naturally understood this. He smiled slightly and said, "A son does not despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog does not despise its home's poverty. My parents gave me life and showered me with deep parental love. We have built a family that, though not wealthy, is very warm. I love them very much and would never complain about their physical conditions."

Chen Mo's answer was measured and left no room for criticism. Xiao Li made a note in his notebook and then asked, "We know you are a very sensible child, having gone fishing with your parents and helped with household chores since you were young. This is evident from your tanned skin. Compared to physical labor, what do you find more exhausting?"

This question was a trap, clearly designed to make someone fall into it. Most people, after being praised and led by Xiao Li, would relax and even feel a sense of familiarity. When Xiao Li asked the final question, they would habitually think about their troubles, allowing Xiao Li to analyze their character flaws based on their concerns.

Chen Mo immediately understood and naturally wouldn't fall for it. He smiled innocently and said, "I live a very happy life every day. In my view, the fatigue in life is a precious experience and a process that helps one grow. I never dwell on any particular matter. What I care about is what I can learn from it. For example, helping my parents go fishing and do household chores has taught me the hardships of life and has honed my body and will. This makes me never give up easily when facing any difficulties."

Chen Mo's long answer essentially conveyed one point: I am an excellent person.

Xiao Li nodded and smiled after hearing Chen Mo's response, then said to the old man, "Professor Hu, the psychological assessment is over. We can now proceed to the political assessment."

The old man nodded and said to another young man, "Xiao Wang, it's your turn."

The so-called political assessment was essentially just asking about any honors he had received and the background of his family for three generations. In reality, they had already investigated everything, and this was just a formality.

Xiao Wang quickly completed the political assessment for Chen Mo. Professor Hu stood up with Xiao Li and Xiao Wang and said, "Chen Mo, based on your performance today, you will have no problem entering the gifted class. However, we still need to go through the necessary procedures. The official acceptance letter will be sent to your school, and your homeroom teacher will pass it on to you."

Chen Mo nodded respectfully and asked, "Uncle Hu, when does the gifted class start? I need to make some preparations."

Professor Hu smiled and said, "The start date hasn't been determined yet, but it will be soon, no later than September. Chen Mo, don't worry too much. Missing a few days of school won't affect you much. Just wait for the news."

Chen Mo nodded and then followed Teacher Wang and the school leaders to see the three men off. Once they left, Teacher Wang immediately pulled Chen Mo aside and asked, "Xiao Mo, how did it go? There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

The school leaders also looked at Chen Mo with hopeful eyes. Chen Mo smiled and said, "Uncle Hu said my performance was excellent, and there shouldn't be any issues with the acceptance. He said the acceptance letter will be sent to the school, and Teacher Wang, don't forget to pass it on to me, okay?"

Teacher Wang and the school leaders all smiled happily. Teacher Wang patted Chen Mo's shoulder and said, "Xiao Mo, the teacher will definitely not forget. By the way, there's a farewell ceremony at the school tomorrow morning at nine o'clock for the graduating students who have been successfully admitted. Don't forget to attend!"

Chen Mo wasn't very interested in this, but seeing how happy Teacher Wang and the school leaders were, he smiled and nodded, "No problem, I'll definitely be there on time."

After saying goodbye to the teacher, Chen Mo patted his already empty stomach and walked to a restaurant next to the school.

It was summer vacation, and most of the restaurants near the school were closed, with only two still open. Chen Mo entered one of them. Before he could order anything, a girl's voice came from behind him, "Chen Mo, what a coincidence!"
