Chapter 244: Chapter 187: You expect me to work for free??
In the restaurant.
A group of people sat around a round table, all staring at a single target--
Zhao Yi.
Facing a table of appetising dishes, they seemed to lose their appetite. Three dishes were brought up and no one touched their chopsticks.
Zhao Yi looked around, picked up his chopsticks, and helped himself to a big mouthful. After chewing for quite a while, he waved and said, "Come on everyone, start eating! Why are you just staring? It’s a big day!"
"Congratulations!"
"Xiaoqing, Linlin, you have both successfully got into your dream universities!"
"Thank you!"
The expressions of Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Linlin remained the same. Sun Liang cheerfully took a big gulp of his cola and continued to look at Zhao Yi. He sighed, "Zhao Yi, I thought you were crazy before."
With that remark, the conversation started.
Others also relaxed and started discussing Zhao Yi’s marks.
"If you scored 732 just from your paper, I barely got over 620, you’re about one hundred points more than me!"
"You’re 150 points ahead of me!"
"170 more than me, even with an extra subject, I couldn’t catch up!"
"Zhao Yi!"
Niu Lianhua’s eyes widened, "Remember when you first started your senior year, you were only scoring in the low fifties, but in a year, you’ve improved so much, how did you do it?"
"Luck... luck..."
"Gift... gift..."
Zhao Yi wasn’t sure how to explain, so he could only attribute it to luck and talent.
The luck factor was dismissed.
Niu Lianhua approved of the ’talent’ explanation, "Yes, learning, a major factor depends on talent, just like Linlin..."
She started the discussion topic.
Zhao Hongjuan joined in, and the two naturally began discussing their children.
Niu Lianhua kept talking about Zhao Linlin, bluntly saying she had no talent, despite attending many extra classes, spending more time studying, her grades still didn’t improve.
Zhao Hongjuan’s evaluation of her own daughter was slightly higher, but she also mentioned a few points, such as ’not smart enough’, ’can’t solve difficult problems’, ’definitely takes after her father’. Her maths and physics grades weren’t good, tutoring had little effect, and as the exam difficulty increased, scores plunged.
Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Linlin were gritting their teeth listening, being criticised about their poor performance or lack of intelligence didn’t bother them. But the issue was that Zhao Yi and Sun Liang were very brilliant in maths and physics and they were sitting right there.
Zhao Yi found it very interesting.
He even chimed in with the parents’ conversations, affirming Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Linlin’s stupidity, and cited some examples as supplementary evidence.
"Hiss~~"
Retribution came swiftly.
Zhao Linlin and Sun Liang switched places and she joined forces with Lin Xiaoqing to use physical force on Zhao Yi’s arms.
"Ouch!"
"Stop twisting it!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Didn’t you see? I was speaking in line with Aunt Zhao’s words, just trying to leave a good impression." Zhao Yi quickly explained to Lin Xiaoqing.
Lin Xiaoqing stunned, asking, "Leave a good impression on my mom? Why?"
"Just think about it... Hehe..."
Zhao Yi chuckled.
While Lin Xiaoqing was pondering, he quickly turned his head to Zhao Linlin and said, "I was speaking in line with Teacher Niu’s words, trying to leave a good impression."
"No excuses!"
Zhao Linlin’s force increased, and she gritted her teeth and spat out, "I heard what you just said to Xiaoqing!"
"You! You think you can fool me!?"
Hiss~~
The drama at the dinner table was just part of the whole scene. Everyone received several phone calls.
Teacher Niu was the busiest.
Zhao Linlin’s parents were abroad and concerned about their daughter’s grades. Other relatives and friends called to ask about the College Entrance Examination results.
Zhao Hongjuan also received several calls, one from Lin Xudong, who was so excited to hear his daughter had successfully entered the Political and Legal University that you could hear him from across the table.
Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Linlin also each had their share of phone calls.
Usually, classmates were calling to ask. Once they picked up the calls, they shared the news they received.
Like, a certain student didn’t get into university. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Or, a certain student got in.
For example...
Sun Liang was the only one with nothing to do. He had already fixed his university choice, so the scores didn’t matter that much.
Zhao Yi, on the other hand, was very busy.
Online negative news about him appeared in the last few days, a lot of people were curious about his scores. Including his parents, Xu Chao, Professor Liu, Professor He etc., all called to inquire about the situation.
Once Zhao Yi informed them of his scores, the other side wasn’t worried anymore.
Simultaneously.
Zhao Yi’s score was also published online. The first place to publish it wasn’t Nanjiang Province Education Bureau, but Yanhua University that could check the admission results of students.
Yanhua University announced it immediately, "We warmly welcome Nanjiang Province’s College Entrance Examination top scorer Zhao Yi, who will be enrolling in our School of Life Sciences!"
Actually.
Besides places like Shuimu and Capital University that are gathering places for top scorers, it’s not easy for other universities to recruit top scorers. But the purpose of Yanhua University’s public announcement was not to show off that they’d got the top scorer, but to respond to the public opinion circulating on the internet.
A lot of people said Zhao Yi ’disrespected the College Entrance Examination’.
Others suggested that Yanhua University’s School of Life Sciences should not ’specially recruit’ a genius who has nothing to do with biology.
Now it’s fine!
This maths and computer science genius is the top scorer of Nanjiang Province. The score is surprisingly high, recruiting talents by ’special admission’ is a common practice.
