Chapter 423: Top Scorer in the College Entrance Examination
A few days after Shang Ruoting was discharged from the hospital and returned home, Tan Shaowen's vacation also ended. He had no choice but to leave Sihe Village and return to Beijing reluctantly.
The day after he left was the day when the college entrance examination results were released, and Tan Chen arrived at Fengxian No. 2 Middle School early in the morning.
He thought he had arrived very early, but when he walked into the classroom, he saw that Principal Sun and Xie Yannan were even earlier than him. In addition to the two original people from No. 2 Middle School, there was also Zhai Shengping who had just been transferred there.
The classroom is decorated with lace made from colored paper, and there are exquisite posters on the blackboard.
There were a few big words written in the middle: Congratulations to Shang Ruoting for becoming the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Beihe Province!
The moment Tan Chen walked into the classroom, Principal Sun, Xie Yannan and Zhai Shengping greeted him with a smile.
Principal Sun's speech was not as fluent as before.
"Tan Chen... Tan Chen, congratulations. Congratulations to you and Shang Ruoting."
Zhai Shengping was even more exaggerated than Principal Sun. He walked around to Tan Chen and held his hand tightly.
"I advised you not to drop out of school back then. You're just cut out for studying. Hahahaha... That's great! Fengxian No. 2 Middle School has produced two top students."
Everything Xie Yannan wanted to say had been said by Principal Sun and Zhai Shengping. She could only stand there with red eyes, the throbbing in her heart beyond words.
She never dreamed that in the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the students in her class would be able to achieve such good results. Although Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were only transfer students, they were also considered students of her class.
The students in the seats also looked at Tan Chen eagerly.
"Tan Chen, although I failed the college entrance examination this time, you and Shang Ruoting are my role models. I will keep working hard and get a high score next year."
"Yes, although my grades are not ideal, with you and Shang Ruoting as role models, I am very confident about next year's college entrance examination."
"Tan Chen, you and Shang Ruoting are not only the pride of our No. 2 Middle School, but also the pride of Feng County and even Beihe Province."
Principal Sun saw that the students were too enthusiastic and knew that they were genuinely happy for Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting, but today was the day to announce the results, so the necessary procedures still had to be followed.
He waved to the students who were still excited in their seats and said, "Everyone, be quiet. Return to your seats. Now, please allow Director Zhai to announce our college entrance examination results."
When the students heard the principal say this, they all returned to their seats, and Tan Chen also sat in the seat where he and Shang Ruoting had sat before.
Zhai Shengping walked to the podium, his hands shaking as he held the report card.
"Cheng Xuecong, total score 301, math 68, Chinese..."
The scores were read out one by one according to the student's ranking, and naturally some were happy while others were worried.
After the college entrance examination, many students basically knew their scores when they asked each other for answers. As for Shang Ruoting becoming the top scorer in the college entrance examination and Tan Chen ranking among the best, they also came to school early in the morning to listen to what their class teacher Xie Yannan said.
"Tan Chen, with a total score of 498, ranks third among the candidates in Beihe Province..."
Wow...
Before Zhai Shengping finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers in the classroom.
It was so exciting that the third-place candidate from Bac Ha Province was sitting in their classroom.
Tan Chen was also very excited when he heard the score and ranking. He knew that his wife's academic performance was better than his, but he didn't want to hold her back and hoped to be admitted to the same university as her.
This score must be enough now.
"Shang Ruoting, with a total score of 511, ranked first in the college entrance examination among all candidates in Beihe Province!" Zhai Shengping's voice sounded again.
This time, the one who was the least excited was Tan Chen. He stood up and clapped his hands vigorously. The other students also stood up along with him and cheered continuously.
"Well done, Shang Ruoting."
"Tan Chen is awesome."
"Shang Ruoting, Tan Chen, you are the pride of Fengxian No. 2 Middle School..."
For a moment, the whole classroom was filled with cheers and shouts.
Tan Chen couldn't wait to go home and tell Shang Ruoting the good news, but he hadn't finished his business in Fengxian yet and couldn't leave just like that.
Principal Sun was so excited by the enthusiasm of the students that he almost cried.
In fact, he had already cried secretly when he received the good news. It was not tears of sadness, but tears of excitement.
After being a high school principal for so many years, he felt proud for the first time.
Principal Qu of No. 1 Middle School, don't you look down on me?
Now you try to look down on me again?
"Students, please be quiet for a moment. We will now distribute the application guide to everyone. You can choose a school at your discretion."
"Of course, those whose scores are not satisfactory can try again next year."
