Chapter 64: Top Scorer in the College Entrance Examination
"Mr. Zhou, congratulations!"
The sudden congratulations left Zhou Donghai confused.
But before he could ask, the person on the other end of the phone had already answered his question cheerfully.
"Student Wen Ning scored an exceptionally high 701 in the college entrance exam. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll be the top scorer in the liberal arts this year!"
"Mr. Zhou, not only is your career flourishing, but your daughter is also so outstanding. You are truly blessed!"
Although Zhou Donghai didn't turn on the speakerphone, the middle-aged man's voice on the other end of the phone was too excited, almost screaming at the top of his lungs, so everyone in the Zhou family present could hear it roughly.
The others were also a little confused. What the hell? Wen Ning, the top scorer in liberal arts, seemed to be hallucinating!!!
Wen Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After the test, she and Gu Boyan studied the test paper together, and the estimated score at that time was between 690 and 700 points.
701 points, a little better than she expected.
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard a scream from Zhou Yaya, "How is this possible!"
Zhou Donghai was also brought back to his senses by this shout. He glared at her unhappily, then raised his phone and asked, "You, who are you?"
"Oh, yes, you see, I was so excited that I forgot to introduce myself. I'm the principal of No. 2 High School, and my last name is Zhang."
"Principal Zhang of the Second High School?" Zhou Donghai repeated.
"Yes, three months ago, Mr. Zhou came to our school to register Wen Ning for school. I just tried to call Mr. Zhou but couldn't get through, so I called your cell phone." The principal of the Second High School explained cheerfully.
Zhou Qingci also heard it and immediately took out his cell phone.
It really showed that there were more than a dozen missed calls.
In addition to the three calls from Principal Zhang, there were also several calls from unfamiliar landline numbers.
But it was not appropriate to call them back at this time, so Zhou Qingci had to hang up first, and nodded at Zhou Donghai to prove that what Principal Zhang said was true.
But Zhou Donghai still had some doubts. "The college entrance examination results haven't come out yet, how do you know what Wen Ning scored?"
The principal of the Second High School said cheerfully, "The college entrance examination results are expected to be released at 12:00 tonight, but the names of some high-scoring students have already been released. Oh, and the admissions officers from those top universities, including Beijing University, may be visiting your home soon. Have Wen Ning make some preparations in advance."
"Also, our school is planning to do an interview with Wen Ning. We'll take some photos and say some promotional slogans, and hang them up around the school. We finally have a top scorer, so we need to promote him and inspire the younger students. The province should also send reporters over when the time comes."
The principal of the second high school became more and more excited and excited as he spoke.
Originally, when Zhou Qingci helped Wen Ning register for school, he was very unhappy.
He has been attending school in the village since he was a child, dropped out of school for three years after his first college entrance examination, and is also a mentally ill patient. Recruiting such a student would only cause trouble.
But Zhou Qingci first promised Wen Ning that he would not go to school to study and would not affect other students. Only under reluctance did he agree.
I heard that before this, Zhou Qingci first contacted the principal of a high school, but Lao Deng directly rejected him. Hahahaha, now Lao Deng must be regretting it so much.
Thinking of this, Principal Zhang couldn't help laughing out loud. Suddenly, he slapped his head again.
"And the most important thing. By the way, according to the relevant reward rules, our school plans to give Wen Ning a cash reward of 500,000 yuan. The city should also give him a reward. Based on past experience, it's around 200,000 yuan..."
Although the Zhou family is now on the decline, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and Zhou Donghai really doesn't care about these hundreds of thousands of dollars.
However, if Wen Ning was really the top scorer in the college entrance examination, the province would send people to interview her, and top universities would be vying for her, so how could she arrange marriage and get married?
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, are you listening?" The principal of the second high school was talking so much that his mouth was almost smoking, but he didn't get much response from Zhou Donghai, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Zhou Donghai came back to his senses and said, "I was listening, I was just too surprised."
"Hahaha, I was surprised too. When I first received the news, I suspected they had dialed the wrong number. They were supposed to call No. 1 High School but accidentally called No. 2 High School."
"Student Wen is truly incredibly smart. He's achieved such impressive results after just three months of hard work..."
Listening to the principal's endless praise for Wen Ning on the other end of the phone, Zhou Donghai said coldly, "Thank you, principal, for letting me know this news in advance. I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first."
Caught off guard by a series of busy beeps, the principal of the Second High School blinked in disbelief. Why did he feel that his family had produced a top scorer in the college entrance examination, but Zhou Donghai did not sound happy?
The phone was hung up at this point, and everyone's attention was focused on Wen Ning.
Because of the high score of 701, the news of being the top scorer in the province's college entrance examination was too shocking.
For a moment, everyone forgot about the recent marriage.
Lin Wanyi and Wen Ning were standing together, quite far away from Zhou Donghai, so the voice on the phone wasn't very clear. Therefore, as soon as he hung up, she couldn't wait to ask, "Honey, that was the principal of Second High School who just called. He asked how many points Ningning got on the test?"
Zhou Donghai frowned tightly, still a little unconvinced, "701."
Lin Wanyi seemed to be shocked and covered her mouth exaggeratedly, "Oh my god, the score is so high?!"
Lin Wanyi looked at Wen Ning. Although she didn't quite believe him, she was used to being vain.
Lin Wanyi couldn't contain her joy when she thought that if Wen Ning was really the top scorer in liberal arts, she would have a lot more topics to talk about at the rich ladies' gatherings in the future.
Zhou Qingyan's eyes flashed. If it were in the past, he would have been the first to jump out and accuse Wen Ning of cheating in the exam or something, but as soon as he saw Wen Ning's face, the soft and cute face of little Aning appeared in front of him.
His lips opened and closed.
Zhou Yaya gave Zhou Qingyan several glances but got no response, and couldn't help but curse inwardly.
It looked like Zhou Donghai was about to inject Wen Ning with a sedative, put her in solitary confinement, and marry her off to the good-for-nothing second son of the Wang family, who was good at eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling.
It seemed as if Wen Ning's life was about to fall into a deeper quagmire.
How could Zhou Yaya tolerate her turning over!
She thought for a moment and said, "Sister, I only scored 650 points in the college entrance examination three years ago. I didn't expect that after staying in the sanatorium for three years, my grades have improved so much. Sister really wants to thank Big Brother for sending you to the sanatorium."
As soon as these words came out.
Lin Wanyi, who was originally happy, could no longer laugh.
Yes, the sanatorium only treats mental and emotional problems, it doesn’t say that it is also responsible for teaching and learning!
Then how come Wen Ning's grades suddenly improved so much? Did Wen Ning ask someone to make a fake phone call to avoid a marriage proposal, or did Wen Ning plagiarize?
If it is the former, it is still easy to deal with. But if it is the latter, if this matter is exposed in the future, the entire Zhou family will lose face!
Lin Wanyi asked coldly, "Ningning, you didn't cheat on this score, did you?"
Wen Ning was not at all surprised by Lin Wanyi's suspicious gaze.
It was like this from the moment she stepped into the Zhou family's door. No matter what she did or what achievements she made, she would be suspected of having ulterior motives or fraud.
Wen Ning had long been accustomed to it, and his eyes were calm.
"Mrs. Lin, do you think that in this day and age, someone can successfully cheat on the college entrance examination?"
"In the past, some people might have successfully cheated on the Gaokao. Some even hired a good student to take the exam for them. Or, after the Gaokao results were released, they would completely replace someone else's identity and go to school, stealing their life."
"But now, technology is becoming increasingly advanced, and proctoring is becoming increasingly effective. There's almost no blind spot in any angle, so cheating is harder than climbing to the sky."
