Chapter 381 Top Scholar: Number One in the Nation!

Gu Shu himself couldn't believe it. He stared blankly at Gu Qingming: "I really scored 684 points?!?"

Gu Qingming nodded vigorously: "That's right!!"

Gu Shu rubbed his hands vigorously on his trouser legs, then looked at Gu Yin nervously: "Then, then Qingda, or Huada, do I, do I also have a chance?!"

Gu Yin smiled and looked at him: "If the cutoff score doesn't increase this year, then there shouldn't be any problem!"

Gu Shu grabbed Gu Le's hair and spun her around, then picked her up and exclaimed, "I have a chance to go to Qingdao University now! I can go to Qingdao University too! Hahaha! I can go to Qingdao University too!"

Although he always said that he wasn't smart and that getting into a top-tier university was the best he could do, he often felt melancholy, sad, and lost when he thought about how amazing his two younger sisters were.

His family didn't have high expectations for him. Only Ayin kept pushing him, making him give it his all and work incredibly hard. She would give him stacks of test papers. When she was busy with competitions, she would get test papers from Jianggao High School from the teachers, or test papers she had compiled herself, and make him do endless practice questions. She even hired a tutor to help him with English. She said she believed he could do it, but he just wasn't giving it his all. There were four children in the family, and there was no reason why he was the only one who couldn't do it. All his failures were because he was being lazy.

To be honest, besides his own hard work, most of the time Ah Yin was keeping up with him to get that score! Having a sister like that is truly the greatest luck of his life!

After putting Ah Le down, Gu Shu walked up to Gu Yin, his eyes moist: "Ah Yin, thank you! Thank you for not letting my laziness go to waste, and for pushing me to become better when I felt I was just right! I'm especially grateful to you!"

Seeing him like this, Gu Yin's eyes also reddened: "Who told us we're siblings! When we get to university, I'll still be chasing you around from time to time, so don't think I'm meddling then!"

Damn it, my trashy fate from my past life has finally changed!

Gu Shu quickly shook his head: "You don't need to chase me away, I'll run away by myself! I'm the older brother, I should set an example!"

Gu Qingming lightly patted him on the head: "That's more like it! Your life is your own. What's the point of letting your sister help you?!"

After saying that, he looked at Ayin and said, "Your results haven't come out yet. Go check them quickly and see if you're the top scorer in the country! Go now!"

"Yes, yes, you're getting ahead of yourself. Ah Yin's results haven't come out yet! I won't kill these chickens yet!" The old lady came over with two chickens, and only then did she come to her senses upon hearing this.

Seeing that Gu Hua was still by the landline, Gu Yin handed her the exam admission ticket: "Can you check for me?"

Gu Hua, feeling nervous, said, "I wasn't nervous about my brother just now, but I'm getting nervous now! Let me calm down first!" She took a deep breath and then started dialing the phone.

Everyone in the room quietly gathered around, and Li Mengxin nervously held Gu Yin's hand.

Gu Yin patted her to reassure her.

After trying for a while without getting through, everyone was puzzled, and the old lady even suggested, "Is the signal bad? Let's go outside and try to call!"

Gu Yin shook her head: "Too many people tried to call, so it didn't go through. Try calling a couple more times."

When Gu Hua pressed the button for the third time, the call finally went through.

"This is the Z Province College Entrance Examination Inquiry Hotline. The candidate's name is Gu Yin, the admission ticket number is 12389..., the ID number is 67893709..., the candidate's scores are: Chinese 149, Mathematics 150, English 150, Science Comprehensive 300, minority bonus points 5, the candidate's total score is 754, ranking 1st in the province and 1st in the city."

Gu Yin blinked: "Oh no, I made a mistake, I lost a point in Chinese! Which teacher is so strict? They won't even give me full marks in Chinese!" If you encounter a good teacher, you have a chance to get full marks in Chinese. But if you encounter a strict and meticulous teacher, no matter how well you write the paper, you won't get full marks. I don't know what kind of rule this is.

"Oh my god! First place! Kill chickens! Kill six! Let's celebrate tonight!" The old lady pulled the old man along: "Come with me to catch chickens!"

Gu Shu and Gu Hua were even more stunned: "Holy crap, you're amazing, sis/sis! You're incredible! Just one point shy of a perfect score! You've broken our provincial record again! The highest scorer in our province is 741, and the other top scorers are all around 712! You've broken the sky! Amazing!!"

Zhou Wansheng was all smiles. He called Uncle Zhou and asked him to airfreight some vegetables over and arrange for a chef to join them. This great occasion had to be celebrated!

Wang Yanzhi listened to the broadcast again, then asked in confusion, "I only know that it's first in the province, but why isn't it ranked nationally?"

Gu Yin smiled and said, "This hotline belongs to Z Province. It can only check the scores for the entire province. Moreover, some provinces use different test papers. We use the national test paper here. We need to check with the teachers first. There's no rush."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the principal called. Gu Yin pointed to the phone and said, "Look, here he comes."

The call connected, and Du Zhongming's voice came through: "First in the country, first in the province, and first in the world in those three major subject competitions, add that too! Use gold lettering for all of them! Make it bigger! Bold! Play it on repeat on the school gate's loudspeaker for days! Yes, yes, that's the best! Use this version! You guys go ahead and do your work, I'll call Gu Yin! Oh, the call's connected, hello! Gu Yin! Are you listening?!"

Gu Yin chuckled and said, "I'm listening. What are you busy with, Principal?"

Du Zhongming said proudly, "I'm instructing them to make the banner! By the way, did you know your score? Without the ethnic minority points, the total score is 750, and you got 749! You're number one in the country! You're so amazing! How can you be so outstanding! If our school produces another one like you next year, my life will be worthwhile!"

Gu Yin nodded: "You called right after I checked my score."

"By the way, admissions officers from major universities across the country have been arriving one after another. Are you sure it's Qingdao University? If you are, I'll tell the other school's officers directly and ask them not to bother you. You can come back in three days to fill out your application."

Gu Yin hadn't considered changing to another school: "Yes, it's definitely Qingdao University, no change."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yin thought that once she was sure about the school, the admissions officers wouldn't come anymore.

Halfway through dinner, we heard the sound of a car starting up outside.

Gu Qingming got up in confusion to open the door and saw several people, both men and women, getting out of the car.

"Hello, is this Gu Yin's home?"

Gu Qingming nodded: "Yes, may I ask who you are?" These people were speaking Mandarin, not a dialect, so they were obviously not from Jiang City.
