Chapter 352: Notice from Nine Schools: Rejection of Admission (Part 1)
On the third day of school, Jiang Fuyue's admission notice was delivered to the Academic Affairs Office of No. 1 Middle School.
"How many, how many letters are there?" The old principal suspected that he was hallucinating.
The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office smiled and repeated, "Nine letters, from B University, Q University, G University, F University, Z University, S University, University of Science and Technology of China, University of Science and Technology of China, and Huazhong University of Science and Technology."
"This, this much?" The old principal swallowed.
The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office said, "Judging from the calls we've received over the past two days, there should be a few more on the way. They should arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest."
The old principal: “?” I was a little confused.
Director: "If we open up channels for admission to foreign universities, there will be more." Maybe Ivy League schools will also extend an olive branch.
The old principal: “…”
In previous years, there have been students who have won awards in international academic competitions, but Jiang Fuyue is the first one to secure admission to all the top domestic universities.
The scene... is a bit too scary.
The director analyzed, "There are two reasons why this caused such a sensation. First, Jiang Fuyue won both competitions, achieving perfect scores and first place. This achievement is unprecedented in the more than 100-year history of IPhO and IOI competitions, and it's unlikely to be seen again..."
It is not without reason that netizens call Jiang Fuyue the "competition ceiling".
"Secondly, the virality of a few videos generated incredible buzz, and only then did other schools catch on."
As a rule, IPhO and IOI award-winning students are usually recommended to schools that organize summer camps.
For example, this year, if you win the IPhO award, you will be automatically admitted to Q University, and if you win the IOI award, the corresponding admission is B University.
Schools like G University, F University, and S University usually don't get involved.
But Jiang Fuyue's popularity this year is so high that she has been on the hot search list several times, and her exposure is comparable to that of a traffic star, so other schools naturally know about it.
The principal paused for a moment. "The school can't make a decision on this matter. It all depends on Jiang Fuyue's own opinion. So, have Xu Jing bring her over and ask her face to face what she thinks."
"good."
Soon, Xu Jing and Jiang Fuyue were invited to the principal's office.
Hu Yongwei smiled and asked them to sit down. He then calmly explained the situation. Finally, he asked Jiang Fuyue, "...What are your thoughts now? Of course, I don't mean to interfere with you by asking this. It is a student's right to freely choose a school. As teachers, all we can do is provide you with some advice and reference."
"So, don't feel pressured, just say whatever you think."
The old principal has a kind face and speaks in a gentle and humble manner. The wisdom of age is fully reflected in his words and actions.
Jiang Fuyue said truthfully, "I don't plan to go to university through recommendation."
Xu Jing was stunned.
The director was stunned.
The old principal, Hu Yongwei, was completely stunned: "...What did you say?"
"I'm going to take the college entrance examination." Jiang Fuyue spoke word by word.
"No... Jiang Fuyue, listen to me," Xu Jing was the first to lose his composure and stood up. "Although you're excellent and your grades are very stable, taking exams means risk. The chances of doing well and not doing well are 50-50. Have you ever thought about this?"
Jiang Fuyue nodded: "No need to think about it, I have common sense." Basic probability question.
Xu Jing: “…”
The director didn't quite understand either. "The ultimate goal of the college entrance exam is to get into a good university. Now you have two of China's top universities before you, with all the top majors open to you. I can't think of any reason to refuse."
Jiang Fuyue: "That's your idea, not mine."
The director choked.
Are children nowadays so tough in front of their teachers?
Xu Jing had completely calmed down by now. He carefully considered his words and said, "You keep emphasizing your ideas. So, what exactly are your ideas? Can you tell me?"
Jiang Fuyue pondered for a moment: "Perhaps for most students, the only goal of the college entrance examination is to get into university, but not for me."
Xu Jing: "So what is the college entrance examination in your eyes?"
Jiang Fuyue: "It's just an exam, essentially no different from monthly or weekly tests. And university isn't the end of the Gaokao, it's just a stage in life."
"I'm enjoying the current rhythm and pace, and I have no intention of disrupting it for now, so let's forget about the recommendation."
Just skip the escort...
Forget it...
Bar……
The girl spoke lightly, but the other three felt heavier the more they listened.
Especially Xu Jing, as Jiang Fuyue's homeroom teacher, he simply could not accept that his student would voluntarily give up such a good opportunity.
But he had no right to get angry. After all, the old principal had said that all teachers could do was give suggestions and references, and the decision-making power still lay in the hands of the students themselves.
However, he was so anxious that he could only jump on the spot.
The director also looked at Jiang Fuyue as if he was looking at a strange person.
He has worked at No. 1 Middle School for decades, and there have been students who gave up their admission recommendations, but most of them were dissatisfied with the school or major, and after much hesitation, they chose to take the exam.
Of course, there are successes, but there are also many failures.
But Jiang Fuyue had no such concerns at all. The popular and top majors of Q University and B University both extended olive branches to her.
At first, he received a call saying that only the School of Physics and the School of Computer Science had given him admission quotas, but the actual admission notice he received included invitations from other schools such as Business Administration, Materials Science, Life Sciences, Astrophysics, etc.
There are absolutely no professional concerns.
In addition, there is another point that surprised him. Others who choose to give up the recommendation and face the college entrance examination will at least have to struggle for a while, but what about Jiang Fuyue?
Not to mention being entangled, she didn't even hesitate for a moment and just refused, just like giving up a piece of strawberry cake that can be bought anywhere on the street, with the reason being - she didn't want to eat it.
Finally, the old principal couldn't sit still anymore and said, "Well, don't rush to refuse. Go back and discuss it with your parents first, and give me an answer within this week."
"Okay." Jiang Fuyue left the principal's office.
Xu Jing followed her without saying a word.
He was depressed, withdrawn, and refused to communicate!
It just so happened that Jiang Fuyue had no intention of talking to him, so she remained silent all the way and finally went straight back to the classroom.
Xu Jing: “?” That’s it?!
I'm silent, and you don't know how to comfort me? Knock!
When Xu Jing returned to the grade office with a sour face and a lot of resentment, Meng Zhijian happened to look up.
"Hey! Who offended you? Your face is as dry as noodles."
"Jiang Fuyue!"
"Who?" Meng Zhijian choked on his water. "That's impossible, right?"
That girl is known for being easy to deal with, so how could she have gotten Xu Jing into such a mess?
Rare!
So rare!
Xu Jing rolled his eyes and said, "Believe it or not, forget it if you don't want to!"
Meng Zhijian quickly approached: "What happened? Tell me."
"Don't say it! I'll get angry if I say it!"
"You can't hold it in. Maybe I can give you some advice or something."
Xu Jing gave him a meaningful look and said, "I'm afraid if I tell you, you'll be even more furious than me."
"Absolutely impossible!" Meng Zhijian stretched out a finger and waved it in a sly manner.
How good is his temper? He was so calm when dealing with those second-generation rich kids in Class 7. How could he possibly explode?
Xu Jing sneered, "It's okay to tell you. After all, you have a part in this."
"A portion for me? What exactly is it? Tell me!" Meng Zhijian was itching to get one.
"Jiang Fuyue's admission notice has arrived..."
Meng Zhijian's eyes lit up: "This is good news! Q University or B University?"
"All of them. In addition, there are G University, F University, Z University, S University, University of Science and Technology of China, University of Science and Technology of China, and Huazhong University of Science and Technology."
"Hiss!" Meng Zhijian gasped. "Why so many? What about the majors? Are there a lot of choices?"
Xu Jing: "Any one you like."
"Amazing! You're worthy of being my student! You're the first one in No. 1 Middle School! It's unprecedented!"
"Oh, there's something even more amazing. Do you want to hear it?"
"Huh?" Meng Zhijian was stunned. "What's even more powerful?"
Xu Jing's eyes were filled with malice: "Jiang Fuyue refused."
"Reject what?" Meng Zhijian hadn't reacted yet.
"Refuse to escort."
Five seconds of dead silence, and then—
"She refused?! Why did she refuse?! How could she refuse?!" Meng Zhijian ran away in a frenzy. "Are you kidding me? Old Xu, this is not funny at all!"
Xu Jing's tone was cold: "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Meng Zhijian: "...She really refused? No...what does she want?!"
"Old Meng, didn't you agree not to blow it up?"
Meng Zhijian: “…” Damn!
Lao Meng: Ouch! My face hurts.
