Chapter 27 College Entrance Examination Results
Seeing that Lin Xi was still thinking, Li Xiaoqiu said anxiously: "Xixi, I know your mother is in poor health and is anxiously waiting for a kidney transplant. I have already told you that I can lend you the money first."
"You don't need to accept this kind of endorsement. The price is too low. Isn't this bullying?"
Butler Yang also whispered, "I'm also optimistic about Miss Lin Xi. I suggest we wait until after the finals before making a decision."
Before Lin Xi could make up her mind, the deputy general manager's assistant came back soon, his expression becoming somewhat arrogant. "Our general manager Wu said that this is the price. If you don't sign, we will find someone else."
The vice president's original words were, "This is a young girl who has only been a little popular these few days. It's obvious that she will not be qualified to participate in the competition. She can sign it or not."
Lin Xi raised her eyebrows slightly and stood up decisively, "Xiao Qiu, forget it, let's go."
The assistant vice president did not try to persuade them to stay, and the group left quickly.
······
The preliminaries in Beijing have all been completed, but some provincial preliminaries have not yet been completed. Lin Xi rarely enjoyed a quiet time.
June 25th, the day for the college entrance examination results to be released, soon arrived. Lin Fenfang hadn't slept much all night. As soon as Lin Xi got up in the morning, she urged her to check her scores.
Lin Xi entered the test number and checked, but the results were not out yet.
It was not until after three in the afternoon that Lin Xi turned on her phone again. Her name and test number quickly appeared on the screen. However, there was no information in the score column, only a blank.
Lin Xi was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly saw a line of small words below - "Your ranking has entered the top 50 in the city. Please check for details on the 27th."
She calmly took a screenshot and sent it to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan had just come out of the bathroom at the back when her cell phone dinged with a message.
She clicked it and took a look, was stunned for a moment, and then was ecstatic.
She rushed out of the corridor with her phone in hand. "My sister, my sister—she ranked in the top 50 in the city!"
There were still a few customers dining in the restaurant at this time.
But at this time no one blamed Lin Yuan for making noise, and everyone gave her friendly and even envious smiles.
The store manager quickly apologized to the customer, then pulled Lin Yuan into the operation room and said with a smile, "You must be so happy, your little Xi has really done well. Now Jingda Qingda is stable."
Lin Yuan nodded, put away his phone, and went to wash the dishes with a happy look on his face.
Then Lin Xi calmly walked to her mother's room and pointed to a line of small words under the screenshot to show Lin Fenfang.
For the first time in her life, Lin Fenfang knew what it meant to cry with joy.
She hugged Lin Xi tightly and said, "Mom is happy, Mom is so happy. My Xixi, you are so proud of yourself. It would be so great if your grandparents were still alive."
Lin Xi rubbed her mother's back considerately. Lin Fenfang cried for a while, then raised her head and said, "Help me up. I want to change my clothes."
She didn't know where she got the strength from. After getting up, she pushed Lin Xi away, walked to the closet, and took out a long floral dress.
This was bought for her by Lin Yuan with his salary, but she has never worn it once.
Lin Fenfang went to the bathroom.
When she came out, she had obviously taken a shower, her hair was combed neatly, and she also used Lin Yuan's cosmetics, with some blush on her cheeks and even a light lipstick on her lips. She looked much better.
Lin Xi was a little stunned. She hadn't seen her mother dressed so neatly in a long time. "Mom, are you going out?"
Lin Fenfang smiled and said, "If Mom doesn't go out, I'll go sit at Aunt Wang's house across the street."
Lin Xi understood that this was a way to show off.
She smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead, Mom."
She went out to the park for a set of boxing, did some physical training, and then started cooking.
Dinner was almost ready, but Lin Fenfang hadn't come back yet.
Lin Xi took the key and went out. As soon as she went out, she saw her mother sitting by the gate. Several other aunts were also sitting together and chatting animatedly.
When the aunties saw Lin Xi, they all smiled brightly: "Oh, Lin Xi is really promising. She is in the top 50 in the city. I'm afraid she can go to any school she wants."
These were all old neighbors who had known each other for decades, some of whom had watched Lin Fenfang grow up, and each of them was genuinely happy for Lin Xi.
Lin Xi glanced at her mother. Lin Fenfang's face was rarely filled with a smile. The red glow on her face did not seem to be the effect of blush, but seemed to be a red glow coming from within.
She understood her mother's feelings very well. Her daughter had made progress, and the pride and joy she felt was incomparable.
She stood beside her mother cooperatively, listening to the aunts' words of praise with a smile on her face, allowing her mother to happily enjoy the glorious moment.
At this time, Liu Dongsheng rode an electric bike into the alley.
From a distance, I saw a lot of people sitting in front of my house.
A few of the older women also noticed him and exchanged glances. When Liu Dongsheng pulled up to the door and stopped, one of them called out, "Dongsheng, your daughter Caifang is taking the college entrance exam this year, right? How did she do?"
Liu Dongsheng smiled proudly, "Not bad, I've made it to the first-tier university."
After checking her scores in the afternoon, Liu Caifang called him. He himself was only admitted to a second-tier university that year, so it was natural to congratulate him that Liu Caifang had passed the first-tier score.
"Oh, Caifang is pretty good!" The aunt chuckled. "By the way, maybe you didn't know this, but Xiaoxi ranked in the top 50 in the city."
The smile on Liu Dongsheng's face suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly felt that Liu Caifang's book was not so attractive anymore.
He couldn't help but glance at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi happened to be looking at him. The girl smiled calmly, but her eyes were full of nonchalant contempt, as if he was an ant on the ground, or some dirty thing.
Seeing this look, Liu Dongsheng felt upset. He wanted to curse out of habit, but then he kept his mouth shut.
He himself came from a rural village and is now able to settle down in the capital. He deeply believes that knowledge can change destiny.
When he sees a top student, he feels inferior to him, just like some people can't help but want to flatter officials when they see them.
He turned and walked in. Perhaps because he was nervous or for some other reason, he stumbled and almost fell.
The laughter of the aunties came from behind, "Hey, Dongsheng, you better be careful."
Liu Dongsheng looked extremely unhappy and just wanted to get in quickly.
Just then, a surprised voice came from behind me, "You must be Lin Xi, right? Oh, you are really asking for trouble. Hello, hello, I'm from the admissions office of Peking University."
"I kept calling you this afternoon, but no one answered. Luckily, I got your address from the school."
The aunties around were immediately shocked. "Oh my! You guys are really quick! How come Peking University is recruiting students in person now?"
Director Wang from the Peking University Admissions Office smiled and said, "Of course, it's because Lin Xi is so outstanding."
Lin Xi understood what was going on. She looked at Director Wang and smiled, "Since you came so quickly, I guess my ranking must be very high. Can you tell me my score and ranking?"
Otherwise, you have to wait for three days, which makes you feel itchy.
