Feng Wu nodded. "I'm sure."
Chief Yu frowned. "You're capable enough to go to Year 2, but Grand Secretary Fang isn't here at the moment, and no one can approve your application."
"Is there another way?" Feng Wu asked.
Chief Yu said, "If the chief of Year 2 agrees and you can pass their formation trial, you'll be allowed to skip grades. No one will be able to stop you then."
Hearing that there was another way, Feng Wu nodded with a smile. "I'll try it, then."
Chief Yu gave her a strange look. "Aren't you going to ask me who the chief of Year 2 is?"
The question itself was enough to suggest that the chief of Year 2 had to be someone special.
Feng Wu asked, "Who is it?"
Chief Yu said quietly, "He's Chief Qiao."
"Qiao?" Feng Wu hesitated before asking, "Is this person related to Miss Qiao Yi?"
Chief Yu gave Feng Wu a solemn nod. "He's Qiao Yi's father."
Feng Wu was amazed by the unfortunate coincidence.
