The group chat of Jelonsburg's big shots went completely silent for a moment. Then, messages started flooding in.
Kevin: [What? Joyce, you mean it was that same girl who saved you last time? And she just casually wrote that formula?]
Kevin: [But I heard she's not only got a bad attitude, the chemistry stuff she taught you wasn't even hers. It was international research brought back by Mr. Donald Hunter.]
Matthew: [I heard that too.]
Desmond: [Same here.]
Joyce: [Says who? I've been off the grid for a while, but I've never heard anything like that. She helped me write the formula so easily—how could that be fake?]
After news broke that Zoe was a teenage chemistry genius, none of the big shots in the group rushed to find her or ask her to be their student. They had all believed the rumors about her floating around online.
But just then, the chat lit up again. New message: [@DonaldHunter joined the group.]
A second later, Donald sent a message.
Donald: [There's no formula this advanced in any international research. Who said I gave that knowledge to Zoe? I'm not that smart.]
The moment Donald stepped up to clear Zoe's name, everyone in the group was stunned.
Kevin: [What?]
Matthew: [Wait, so it wasn't Donald helping her?]
Desmond: [@Joyce Hurry! Set up a meeting and introduce us to this young genius. Having someone like her is a huge honor for Clusia.]
Joyce replied with a quick "ok," then pulled out her phone and sent Zoe a text.
Joyce: [Zoe, thanks again for helping me with that problem. My project is moving forward now, and once it's fully launched, I'll make sure they put your name on the patent.]
She followed up with another message: [I've told my friends about you. They all really want to meet you. Do you think you could come and see us sometime?]
Before she could send anything else, Zoe shot back a firm reply: [I'm not coming.]
Joyce bit her lip and sent another message, not ready to give up.
Joyce: [But they really admire your talent. They've wanted to meet you for so long but never had the chance. They all hope to learn from you. You've made such a big contribution—it'd be nice to celebrate that with you.]
But once again, Zoe replied coldly: [Chemistry isn't hard. I can write up tons of formulas like that. So what's there to celebrate about something this small?]
"What?" Joyce shouted out loud, completely shocked by the message.
No one had expected that a chemistry problem she thought was world-class would be called "something small" by Zoe. If this got out, it wouldn't just shake Clusia—it would rock the entire global chemistry community.
Since she had failed to convince Zoe, Joyce had no choice but to copy and paste Zoe's replies into the group chat. The big shots in Jelonsburg were shocked all over again.
Desmond: [Small? She actually said it was a small thing?]
Kevin: [She really said that? I've never seen a kid this arrogant.]
Matthew: [What an ego!]
Robert: [Well, after hearing all this, I really do want to meet this one-of-a-kind girl.]
At that moment, Zoe had no idea she was leaving a brand new impression on the big shots of Jelonsburg. She had just finished her military training. She passed everything and officially became one of the new recruits.
Since these new soldiers had been personally chosen by Shawn, he, of course, had to attend the promotion ceremony.
Chase and the training instructor were the ones handing out the ranks to the fresh recruits who had survived the brutal training.
As the only female soldier who made it through, Zoe stood out in the crowd of men.
Still, she didn't want to miss the chance to tease Shawn.
