Chapter 216 Chapter 217 I heard that you are the father of Bai Shi, so I came to visit
you At the Song family, Mrs. Song was holding a pair of scissors and trimming the branches of flowers.
But her eyes were looking in the direction of Song Min.
"Are you still worried about his grades?" Song's father looked at Mrs. Song's absent-minded look and laughed. Song Min had never made them worry since he was a child, especially in terms of grades. "Strange, why didn't the principal call today?"
Mrs. Song's thoughts were a little far-fetched. She cut the scissors with a "click" sound and didn't say anything.
Song Min sat on the sofa, leaning against the sofa slightly, and clicked the magnifying glass of the website on the right with his fingertips, paying attention to the grades page with a slightly cold look.
After the page rotated for a while, his grades and ranking were displayed.
[Total score: 686
Provincial ranking: 5
National ranking: 36]
700 points is a watershed. A score below 700 means a difference of several places for almost one point.
Especially for those with scores of 400-500, there are nearly one million people in the province, and one point may mean a difference of tens of thousands of places.
This time, the national ranking was still within Song Min's estimation, but the provincial ranking made Song Min stand up.
He didn't say anything for a long time. Song's father hung up the phone and walked over directly, "What's the matter? Didn't do well in the exam? It's okay, it was a momentary mistake..."
Song's father was surprised. Song Min's teaching resources have always been good. With the Yin family, the teaching resources he got have always been difficult for students in North City to get, such as the Boyuan base last time.
Even if Song Min didn't do well in the exam, he wouldn't think that Song Min would be that bad.
Until he looked down and saw the fifth place in the province on Song Min's mobile phone.
"So many people in your class got into the top 30 in the national exam?" Song's father frowned, thinking something was wrong.

The Bai family also felt something was wrong.
After Bai Shaoqi estimated her scores, she knew that she should be able to enter Jiangjing University. She has been close to the Beijing Conservatory of Music and the Jian family during this period. Jian Rong and Bai Shaoke are friends, and she herself is a member of the North City Music Association.
Knowing that she is a good student of Beicheng No. 1 Middle School, Principal Luo also hinted that when the Jiangjing Music Association recommends members this year, she will be the one to be recommended.
She has been smooth sailing all the way, and has been successful on both sides.
Bai Shaoke followed behind Professor Jiang again, helping him. The Bai family members were ready to open the ancestral hall to celebrate.
They were all waiting for her to return.
But...
"Eighth in the province?" Bai Qiming's smile froze when he heard Bai Shaoqi's ranking. He squinted at Bai Shaoqi, "Why is it only eighth in the province?"
Bai Shaoqi's ranking had never been lower than the top five.
Butler Bai stood behind Bai Shaoqi, "Sir, although Miss is eighth in the province, her national ranking is still 201. With this ranking, she can enter Jiangjing University and choose a very good major."
A small half of Jiangjing's special recruits who do not need to take the college entrance examination are doing summer camps.
Half of them are college entrance examination candidates, and the other half are foreign students.
After hearing Butler Bai talk about Bai Shaoqi's national ranking, Bai Qiming's smile returned to his face, and his voice became much gentler, "Shaoqi, this is true, you can get into Jiangjing University?"
Although it was strange, Bai Shaoqi was very confident in her ranking, "Yes, this ranking can get you into Jiangjing University, but it's hard to get into a popular major." Bai Qiming
himself didn't expect Bai Shaoqi to be able to get the same glorious provincial champion as her brother.
It's hard to get two top scores in one subject, and it was beyond Bai Qiming's expectation that she could get into Jiangjing University.
"It would be great if I could get into Jiangjing University," Bai Qiming's stern expression disappeared. He pointed his fingertips at the table, obviously in a good mood. He turned his head and told Butler Bai, "Go find the reporters to announce this news. Also, ask the clan leader if he is free the day after tomorrow."
He had already booked Jiahao's banquet hall, and this was also a good opportunity to expand his network.
When Bai Shaoke passed the imperial examination, he arranged for many reporters to hype it up. The Bai family's stock soared at the time. Although Bai Shaoqi was a little worse, it was also a good story that two people in the family were admitted to Jiangjing University. Bai
Qiming was in a good mood.
Butler Bai responded with a smile.

The next day, Xiangcheng.
The principal was happily hanging red lanterns and a bunch of banners on the gatehouse with the security guards.
There were two large rows of fireworks on both sides of the gate.
"This one a little to the left, and a little up..." The principal held a firework in the middle, then turned around and directed the security guards to hang banners.
The school gate was crowded with people, basically students and parents who came to share in the joy.
Since the year before last, in order to shape students' values, the Education Department has been very opposed to hyping up topics such as the top scorer in the college entrance examination. The principal did not invite reporters to publicize it.
When the time of 8.08 came, the principal set off the fireworks on time.
In an instant, the fireworks exploded in the clear sky. Today, Xiangcheng No. 1 Middle School was as lively as the New Year.
The principal turned around and looked at the several banners behind him-
[Congratulations to our school student Bai Xi for winning the first place in the national college entrance examination in science! ]
[Congratulations to our school student Ning Xiao for winning the sixth place in the national college entrance examination in science! 】
【Congratulations to our students Yang Lin and Tang Ming...】
【……】
The sound was deafening.
Smoke rose up.
The principal looked at the first banner as if in a dream. The number one in the national college entrance examination in science, since the results were released yesterday, the phone calls to the principal's office and the admissions office have been blown up.
All major universities are looking for information on Bletilla striata.
"Is it a provincial key school this year?" Director Pan covered his ears with one hand and said to the principal with a smile. He received a notice last night to prepare for the upgrade.
More than a provincial key school, the principal tilted his head and whispered in Director Pan's ear, "You don't know, the phone calls to the admissions office have been blown up."
Xiangcheng No. 1 Middle School has a national champion, even if it is not publicized, it can't hide it from others.
Some media have already taken advantage of the situation. Fortunately, they did not expose the photos of some students, otherwise the Education Department would have to take action to rectify these trends.
The names of Bai Shi Ning Xiao have been promoted in the media. Students who have left Xiangcheng to study will transfer back this year.
In addition, more students will apply to Xiangcheng Middle School
for the high school entrance examination this year. The source of students in a school is also very important, otherwise why do those colleges and universities compete with each other for top students in the college entrance examination every year?
Today, Xiangcheng No. 1 Middle School is having fun with everyone.
The official reporter of Xiangcheng Channel got the first-hand information yesterday and conveyed the teaching philosophy of Xiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.
She asked the principal a few official questions.
The principal straightened his clothes and answered very cautiously: "The key to the good performance of other students in our school lies in the study methods shared by Bai Mi and Ning Xiao..."
The study methods of the top scorer in the national examination? !
The reporter's eyes lit up: "Excuse me, can we connect with these students to chat? I believe all students are very curious about these students who have done so well in the exam!"
The principal paused.
He imagined what kind of response the reporter would get from interviewing those people.
Bai Xi——[Because the Wenchong program doesn’t have the major I like]
Ning Xiao——Forget him, he’s so cold, he might just say “Oh”.
Yang Lin——I don’t know where she’s working, I can’t find her at all.
Tang Ming——[Why did I only get 691?]
Thinking like this seems a bit arrogant. In order to avoid reporters having a heart attack, the principal politely declined on behalf of several students, “Several students don’t have time to connect online.”
In the crowd.
Zhang’s mother and father both went to grab two candies.
Zhang's mother looked at the names on the banners, all of which were familiar names. She looked at the banners in a trance: "Aze was going to graduate with them."
"He's coming out too," Zhang's father patted her shoulder, "This is not entirely a bad thing for him."
**
In the evening of the 27th.
Because of the popularity this time, Bai Xi had to leave early.
Before leaving, the group gathered at Zhang's house again.
In order to celebrate their successful graduation and the success of the college entrance examination, Zhang's mother bought a lot of food, and Chi Yundai was also invited to the cake shop.
He was next to the school and was the first to know that Bai Xi had won the national exam.
He held a cigarette between his fingertips, and when he arrived at Zhang's house, he couldn't help but look at Bai Xi.
I didn't have time to cook, so I asked Lu Xiaohan beside me while Bai Di was trimming the flowers: "Is Miss Bai really the top scorer in the national exam?"
"Yes, what's wrong? Chi Lu, you've asked several times." Lu Xiaohan looked at Chi Yundai in confusion.
In Lu Xiaohan's eyes, Chi Yundai is a lawyer who is more powerful than Zhao Jingzhou. She thinks Chi Yundai shouldn't be so shocked because Bai Di got the top scorer in the national exam. Chi Yundai
pressed the lighter with his fingertips, and the blue flame rolled into the cigarette. "It's okay."
He glanced at Bai Di standing by the window. She half lowered her head and trimmed the flowers under her hands slowly. Her almond eyes were calm. To her, it seemed that getting the top scorer in the national exam was not as important as the flowers in her hands.
Lu Xiaohan is not from Jiangjing, so she doesn't know what it means to be the first in the national exam, but Chi Yundai knows -
if Bai Xi hadn't gone astray, her achievements would definitely not be lower than He Wen's. She was going to Jiangjing, where the school was also lively.
The Zhang family's courtyard was very gloomy. Tang Ming was picking vegetables and couldn't help but ask Wen Qi, "Brother, how did you do in the Chinese exam?"
Next to him, Lu Xiaohan put down the camera and looked down at him.
"That's how I did."
An excerpt from Lu Xiaohan's college entrance examination essay "Graduation Photo" -
[It was a very ordinary senior year, and Lu's mother was relieved. No one was late every Monday morning after that.
The court was still the same court, and nothing had changed, except that Beibei and the others had never played basketball again.
This year's graduation photo has been taken. Our senior year of high school has ended here, and his senior year will start all over again. Why should we cling to that graduation photo with an empty spot? 】

In the north city, the Bai family is also very lively.
Guo Yueqing stands beside Bai Qiming to welcome the head of the Bai family. This is her first official appearance in the Bai family.
Tomorrow, there will be a banquet at the Jiahao Hotel. Today, Bai Qiming specially received the people of the Bai clan in advance.
The head of the Bai clan discussed the matter of the ancestral hall. "After dinner tomorrow, go directly back to the clan. Everyone in the clan is waiting to put her on the family tree. When will Shao Ke come back? I heard that he has entered the laboratory."
Bai Shao Ke will soon enter his sophomore year. If he enters the laboratory at this time, it will be no problem for him to be admitted to graduate school and get a doctorate.
This is a big happy event for the Bai family.
Bai Qiming smiled, "His tutor recently left the laboratory. It seems that there was an emergency, so he is very busy and can't come back for the time being."
The clan uncle patted the boy's shoulder and said, "Bai Han, your cousin Shaoqi and your cousin Shaoke have both been admitted to Jiangjing University. Your cousin Shaoke is the provincial champion and will be a doctor in the future. You must learn from them, understand?"
The boy glanced at Bai Shaoqi, pouted, and looked around: "I don't want her, I want my cousin Bai Shi."
When Bai Shi was mentioned, the atmosphere was tense.
Chief Bai remembered who Bai Shi was, smiled faintly, and said nothing.
The clan uncle also glared at the boy fiercely, complaining that he said the wrong thing.
Bai Qiming frowned.
Guo Yueqing stood in front of Bai Qiming in a cheongsam. Seeing the reactions of others, she suppressed the emotions in her eyes.
At this time, the servant outside came in, "Sir, the principal is here."
It was the principal of Beicheng No. 1 Middle School.
Bai Qiming smiled, "He should be here to congratulate Shaoqi. Butler, go and ask Shaoqi to come down and stop practicing the piano."
This was the principal of Beicheng No. 1 Middle School. The Bai clan leader and Bai Qiming and his party all stood up and went out to greet him.
At the gate, next to the principal stood a middle-aged man in a striped shirt. He wore glasses and had a coat on his arm. He looked very elegant. He had an extraordinary demeanor.
The Bai family was surprised to know who this person was. Then they heard the principal of Beicheng No. 1 Middle School introduce, "Mr. Bai, this is the director of our city's Education Bureau, Director Li."
Director of the Education Bureau?
The Bai family and their party were extremely surprised.
Chief Bai looked at Bai Qiming in surprise, his expression was very obvious, how do you know the director?
Bai Qiming is in business, his connections are not that strong, they are just a wealthy family that can be found on the market, and last year, the Education Bureau of Bai Shaoke Province issued a notice.
How can he invite the director?
Bai Qiming's mind was scattered, he just shook his head at Chief Bai, and hurriedly talked to Director Li.
But before Bai Qiming spoke, Director Li smiled and raised his right hand.
He shook hands with Bai Qiming, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Bai. I heard from the principal that you are the father of classmate Bai Su, and I came to visit you specially. I hope I don’t make you feel presumptuous."
