Xu Zhen's body stiffened when she heard that she was going to check Ye Lingchen's score. She clenched her fists nervously.
Ye Lingchen also stopped and watched quietly from the side.
"Ye Lingchen's admission ticket is 1 * * * *," Hu Zi reported Ye Lingchen's admission ticket leisurely.
Chu Hao dialed the number, "Hello, Dad. I have a friend here. Can you help me check his score?"
"Sure, it's a small matter."
However, Chu Hao waited for a long time but there was no result from the other side of the phone. He vaguely heard some noises and exclamations.
"Dad? Did you get it? "Chu Hao could not help but ask.
Everyone was waiting around. Xu Zhen's palms were already sweating. Although she knew that her son's results were not good, as a parent, she always hoped for a miracle to happen to her child.
"Wait, the Education Bureau is checking. They seem to be discussing something," said Chu Hao's father. Chu Hao's father said. One minute later, his voice could be heard again. It was obvious that he was excited. "Son, where are you? Don't leave. The leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau are going to congratulate you personally. Your school's principal is going too! "
"What?!"
Chu Hao's breathing became rapid. He looked at the people around him who were also extremely excited and said eagerly, "We're at Rugao City's Taolin Village. I'll send you the location later."
"Alright, don't leave. Do your best later! We'll be there soon! "Chu Hao's father hung up the phone right after he finished speaking.
"Chu Hao, I just heard that the people from the Education Bureau and the principal will be coming. Is that true?" Someone asked in disbelief.
Chu Hao was equally excited. His face was flushed, "It's definitely true. They're already on their way."
Wow —
They're really coming!
Everyone was shocked, and they began to panic.
They were all villagers. Although cars were popular, they rarely left the village. The leaders of the Education Bureau and the principal were definitely high-ranking officials to the villagers. They only existed on TV.
"No, I need to go back and change."
"I want to go back too."
"I have a few chickens at home. Should we catch them?"
Soon, the news reached the village chief's ears. The village chief was almost 60 years old but he was full of energy. He rushed over and began to organize in an orderly manner.
"Don't panic, everyone. It's a good thing that the higher-ups can come to our village. We will try to set up a banner to welcome them as soon as possible. We must leave a good impression on the higher-ups."
With someone organizing them, everyone's efficiency increased significantly.
"They haven't said your results yet!"
Xu Zhen could not help but feel a little annoyed. Compared to the people from the Education Bureau, Ye Lingchen's score was insignificant and no one mentioned it anymore.
"Chu Hao, do you know why the leaders of the Education Bureau are here?" someone asked curiously.
Chu Hao shook his head. However, he continued, "I'm guessing it's definitely related to the college entrance examination results! After all, they only suggested coming over when we asked about the results. "
Chu Hao smiled when he saw everyone nodding their heads. "I've checked the scores of so many of you just now. Even the worst among them would be able to get into a top-tier university. Most importantly, there are quite a few of them with high scores. There are five of them with scores above 640! With this kind of weight, it's not surprising that the Education Bureau pays attention to it. It's very likely that they're here to congratulate us! "
"Childe Chu's analysis is on point!" Huzi said, "However, our score alone is not a big deal. I think the key is Childe Chu's score!"
"That's right. 660 points. He's definitely in the top 15 in the school!"
"Coupled with Zhang Yunxi's 659 points, it's no wonder the people from the Education Bureau would pay attention to it."
Twenty minutes later.
"Yunxi, the leader's car has entered the village. Hurry up."
"Mom, there's no need. I'll sit here with Lingchen." Zhang Yunxi shook her head.
"What are you doing, kid? Your score is so high. The leader is here to congratulate you. You should go up! Come with me! "
Zhang Yunxi gave Ye Lingchen an apologetic look and was dragged away by her mother.
After that, accompanied by the sound of car horns, two Buick MPVs came into view slowly. Three people alighted from each car. Two of them were white-haired old men while the other four were middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes. One of them had a square face and black-rimmed glasses.
"Dad!"
Chu Hao called out to one of the middle-aged men. He looked at the others cautiously.
"Chu Hao, come here. This is the principal of No.1 Middle School." The middle-aged man smiled and waved at Chu Hao. He said to the old man beside him respectfully, "Principal Chen, this is my son, Chu Hao. He scored 660 points."
"Hmm, not bad. Boss Chu has a good way of educating his son." Principal Chen smiled kindly at Chu Hao. "Keep it up and strive to become a pillar in the future."
"Don't worry, principal. I'll work hard!" Chu Hao said loudly as if he was injected with chicken blood.
"Who's Zhang Yunxi?" Principal Chen asked.
"She's my daughter!" Zhang Yunxi's mother said immediately and pulled Zhang Yunxi forward.
"Hmm, it's not easy to get such a high score. Good job!" Principal Chen smiled and looked at the students. "All of you are good students too!"
Right then, the middle-aged man with glasses walked forward slowly. He looked around and asked, "Who's Student Ye?"
Student Ye?
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Chu Hao said loudly, "Is there anyone with the surname Ye in our class? Step forward. "
"It has nothing to do with your class! He's a student from No.3 Middle School. Is Student Ye Lingchen here? "Another old man was obviously eager.
Ye Lingchen?
Everyone could not help but move aside and looked at the mother and son sitting in the corner.
The old man walked up quickly. "You're Ye Lingchen?"
"That's me."
"I'm the principal of No.3 Middle School, Shi Ran." The old man reached out and shook Ye Lingchen's hand eagerly.
"Nice to meet you, Principal Shi." Ye Lingchen stood up calmly.
If it was in the past, he would certainly be as excited as the other students. However, now that he had the Prodigy System and could play games on the same platform as a well-known streamer, give a massage to a popular female celebrity, and had tens of thousands of fans behind him, his position had changed. A mere principal of Rugao City High School was not enough to give him pressure.
"Good, good, good!" Principal Shi said 'good' three times in a row. His gaze toward Ye Lingchen was even more appreciative. "You're able to be as calm as water at such a young age. No wonder you're the top scorer in the province. On behalf of No.3 Middle School, I thank you for bringing glory to the whole school!"
After saying that, Principal Shi bowed deeply to Ye Lingchen.
The heavens took pity on him. No.3 Middle School was undoubtedly a concentration camp for slackers. Forget about the top scorer in the province, even if there was a top scorer in the city, Principal Shi would set off firecrackers to celebrate. Ye Lingchen gave him a big surprise. When he found out about this, Principal Shi almost fainted from being smashed by the huge pie in the sky.
"Principal Shi, you flatter me." Ye Lingchen immediately responded with a bow, neither servile nor overbearing.
Top … top scorer in the province?
The turn of events happened too quickly. Everyone felt that their brain circuits could not wrap around it. Their mouths were slightly open and their minds were blank.
Xu Zhen was a little nervous at first. However, when she heard about the top scorer in the province, her whole body quivered. She was excited, nervous, and in disbelief. "My son really got the top scorer in the province?"
"There's absolutely no mistake. Your son is the top scorer in the province. You're a great mother to be able to cultivate such an outstanding child." Principal Shi nodded, then said, "On behalf of the whole school, I also thank you for raising such an outstanding child!"
Xu Zhen covered her mouth. Under countless envious gazes, she looked at her son again. It felt unreal.
After the shock, Chu Hao shook his head and growled, "Impossible! How can he be the top scorer in the province! "
"Are you doubting what I said?" Principal Shi frowned. She displayed her authority as a principal and looked at Chu Hao in displeasure.
"He always ranks last in the whole school in every exam. How can he only do so well in the college entrance examination? This is completely unrealistic!" Chu Hao said.
"Actually, before the third mock, Student Ye has been hiding his strength. After the third mock, he revealed his cards and displayed his amazing strength!" Principal Shi said slowly, "Let me ask you, when faced with hundreds of multiple choice questions, who can perfectly avoid all the correct choices?"
Everyone could not help but shake their heads.
"Student Ye can!" Principal Shi's tone was sonorous. "Based on what? It's his strength! "
"Student Ye is obviously a genius, but he's able to hide his strength and endure what ordinary people can't. It's our No.3 High School's blessing to have a student like you!" Principal Shi was extremely excited and wanted to praise Ye Lingchen to the heavens.
"I'm Xie Chao, the Deputy Director of the Education Bureau." The bespectacled middle-aged man also walked forward slowly and smiled at Ye Lingchen in a friendly manner. "Student Ye Lingchen, Chinese 145, Mathematics 145, English 145, Science 295. Total score: 725!"
He quickly extended his hand and shook Ye Lingchen's hand. "Student Ye, congratulations!"
That score made everyone at the scene gasp. Chu Hao's face was pale. His initial arrogance was shattered and crushed mercilessly. Zhang Yunxi, on the other hand, was so excited that her face was flushed. She applauded for Ye Lingchen.
Since the Education Bureau had announced it, Ye Lingchen's score must be solid.
"Student Ye, you've only deducted five points for each subject. You've controlled it well!" Principal Shi looked at Ye Lingchen with a smile.
"That's easy. I just need to skip the last question …"
Ye Lingchen's answer made everyone frown. They thought of his previous words. Initially, they treated it as a joke, but now, they could not laugh no matter what.
It did not matter if one did not understand the words of a prodigy, but one should never doubt them. That was because they were not on the same level at all.
"Hehe, in our Rugao City, it's been five years since there's been a provincial top scorer. Student Ye Lingchen, thank you for bringing glory to our city!" Director Xie said to Ye Lingchen with a smile.
"Although the statistics of the results have not been done yet, Student Ye Lingchen's score is definitely the first in the province over the years. Once it's confirmed, I'll apply to the higher-ups for a scholarship of 50,000 yuan!"
