After the Spring Festival, when students returned to school, the news of Chen Xihua taking the college entrance examination ahead of schedule spread like wildfire throughout the Jiangshi Middle School campus in less than two days.
On her way to the cafeteria after school, or during morning exercises, Chen Xihua would often faintly hear people talking about her.
"How could Chen Xihua be so foolish as to take the college entrance exam with her sister? If it were me, I definitely wouldn't do it."
"Or maybe she's just given up, since she can't beat them anyway."
"Could it be because of Gao Junyue?"
"What does this have to do with her?"
"It seems that Gao once told his older brother in private that he always scored more than 20 points higher than Chen Xihua in the monthly exams."
"So, Chen Xihua, why don't you just take the exams early and graduate as soon as possible?"
"I understand. Chen Xiuhua, the female academic genius in her senior year, always scores 20 to 30 points higher than the second-place student in every exam."
"Yes, yes, Gao Junyue is definitely my female academic goddess."
"....."
"Little Xi, you really took the college entrance exam early! That's great!" That afternoon, Chen Xihua ran into Yang Xiaomei on her way to the cafeteria.
She first called out to herself cheerfully from behind, then immediately approached and asked in a low voice, "Which school do you want to apply to? I want to apply to Beijing Foreign Language School."
“Sister Yang, I’m also applying to schools in Beijing,” Chen Xihua replied with a smile.
"Chen Xihua, you're so unfair! How could you secretly take the college entrance exam early? If I had known, I would have registered early too, regardless of how well I did."
Suddenly, a somewhat androgynous female voice came from behind me on the left.
Chen Xihua sighed inwardly, turned her head, and saw Cai Shengnan looking at her with resentful eyes.
"...Oh, Cai, Happy New Year!" Chen Xihua said, feeling a little embarrassed and ashamed. She really didn't know how to reply to Cai.
This former deskmate never wanted to go to high school. In the first year of high school, he kept saying that he wanted to graduate early and join the army.
About four or five meters behind Cai, Chen Xihua also saw Gao Junyue.
The look in Gao's eyes as she stared at her was complicated—confusion, anger? And perhaps a hint of resentment.
What's going on here? Chen Xihua was a little dumbfounded: often, the more you don't want people to know, the more it spreads.
It seems that she and her fourth sister have basically dominated the conversations at school for the past two years.
She was very discreet when she applied, and the teachers certainly wouldn't have told anyone. So, it's simply that she was seen by a student who went to the teacher's office by accident.
Just as Chen Xihua thought, it was indeed a student who saw it when he went to the office.
Because Chen Xihua was a second-year high school student and applied early, her situation was somewhat unique. Therefore, her information was at the top and easily spotted.
And that student was...
With the college entrance exam approaching, senior high school students rush to line up for lunch as soon as class is over. They basically wait for the juniors (grades 10 and 11) to line up first, while the seniors stay in the classroom to study for an extra ten minutes or so.
Senior 3 (15), Science Key Class
Zheng Lina, the class monitor sitting in the second row, got up to leave, but then subconsciously looked back.
She paused, about to lift her leg forward, then turned and walked back.
"Ning, have you heard? Chen Xiuhua's younger sister from the liberal arts class is also taking the college entrance exam with us ahead of schedule."
Are those two sisters not getting along? It seems Chen Xiuhua didn't know her younger sister was taking the college entrance exam early.
As she passed Ning Wenfeng, who was working on his exam paper in the third row, she smiled slightly and spoke softly.
After saying that, Zheng Lina looked on with some anticipation, but after a while, he didn't look up at her.
Ning Wenfeng simply grunted in response and continued writing.
Zheng Lina's eyes darkened instantly, and she quickly walked away from behind.
After everyone left, Ning Wenfeng slowly raised his head, his eyes, which were covered by glasses, slightly narrowed.
Actually, his hand paused for a moment just now, not because of Zheng Lina, but because of Chen and her sister.
I wonder if Chen will agree to my request after the college entrance exam?
And then there's her younger sister, which gives Ning Wenfeng a bad feeling. Chen Xuemei is also a science student, and they'll be taking the college entrance exam at the same time.
No, he needs to try harder. It's one thing to fall behind Chen, but if even her sister falls behind...
Meanwhile, back home, Gao Junyue was dejected and felt listless. "Brother, why would that Chen Xihua want to take the college entrance exam early? Do you think she can do well? Doesn't she want to get into a top university?"
"Xiaoyue, don't always compare yourself to her. Your grades have always been number one. Don't let her influence you. Besides, she's not Chen Xiuhua's classmate."
Recently, Gao Yang has been very busy with his senior year studies and hasn't had much time to pay attention to his younger sister.
But seeing his sister looking unhappy, he gently comforted her.
Gao Yang was most afraid of his younger sister getting stuck on things. He himself was a person with a strong sense of self-respect, but his sister was even more so.
From childhood to adulthood, the brother and sister were always the top students in Jiang City, and their parents, both teachers, had high expectations for them.
......
Chen Xihua, who was preparing for the college entrance examination again, only paid attention to the topics about herself on campus for the first few days. In the next two or three months, she ignored everything else.
It's already mid-May, and at the end of this month, high school seniors will have their last holiday before the college entrance examination.
Chen Xihua couldn't wait until the end of the month for the holiday. On the morning of May 15th, she went to the office and asked her homeroom teacher, Ms. Huang, for leave.
"Chen Xihua, since you're taking the college entrance exam early, you should study properly. Is there something important that you need to ask for leave?" This time, Teacher Huang didn't approve it so readily. She frowned and asked with a serious expression.
"Teacher Huang, I have something urgent to tell you. Look at the message my sister sent me."
Please give me five days. I promise I won't fall behind in my studies; please trust me. If things aren't handled well, I'll become even more distracted and unable to concentrate on my studies.
As Chen Xihua spoke, she took out her phone and opened the leave request message that her older sister had sent her last night.
Then, she pursed her lips, her attitude sincere. Her eyes remained fixed, gazing expectantly at Teacher Huang.
"Alright, you're already in your second year of high school anyway. If you don't do well on the exam, you can just repeat your senior year." Teacher Huang approved the leave with a bit of helplessness. She didn't want to approve it, but Chen had just said that he couldn't concentrate on studying, so what could she do?
"Thank you, Teacher Huang!" Chen Xihua nodded excitedly, her expression tinged with a hint of sycophancy.
It was 3:30 p.m. Five minutes later, Chen Xihua walked out of the school gate with her schoolbag on her back.
Not far away, Li Shisheng's truck could be seen waiting by the roadside.
She had asked Brother Shisheng to pick her up in advance. This month, he was going to deliver Lihua's clothes to Haishi and was passing through Jiangshi, so he gave her a ride.
"Big sister, have you set off yet? I'm already on the truck. It'll take a day and a night, so I should arrive by noon tomorrow." Chen Xihua, now on the truck, started calling her older sister.
"Xiao Wu, my train is at five o'clock, I should arrive around the same time as you. I need to take the bus to the train station now, so I'll have to go now." Chen Chunhua hurriedly replied on the phone and hung up.
This time, the eldest sister still needs to step in. Chen Xihua plans to open a trading account in the name of Nanhua Investment Company.
It will be easier to buy and sell stocks in the future. I wonder if Zhang Hai is still working there?
Once you open an account, you'll have a phone number to communicate with anytime, making buying and selling convenient.
Chen Xihua will not miss the bull market that started in late May.
In her previous life, she remembered someone saying that if you bought at this time for more than seven yuan, it would rise to twenty-one yuan in 30 working days by the end of June, which would be a direct triple increase.
This is probably the biggest advantage she has since transmigrated – knowing in advance which bull market periods will occur.
Chen Xihua had her eldest sister transfer 80% of her money from the past six months to the account of Nanhua Investment Company, amounting to three million yuan.
As for which stock to buy, she didn't need to worry; she wouldn't lose money during this period. Chen Xihua decided that from now on, she would entrust the stock exchange manager with the task.
She did study business administration and knows a lot about finance, but when it comes to stock market traders, you still need to find a professional.
