Soon, the call was connected: "Hello, who is this? I'm Chen Qingzhi."
"Hello, Director Chen, I'm Wu Ming from Province S."
"Director Wu? What are you doing?"
"Aren't the college entrance examination results out yet? I've found a good seedling."
"What?"
Chen Qingzhi, director of the Academic Affairs Office of Peking University, who answered the phone, became excited when he heard the good news.
"It's Du Wanying from Huairen County, Province S. Please note her score on the college entrance exam: 399, maybe even 400!"
When Director Chen heard the score, his hand holding the phone shook noticeably and he almost dropped the phone.
"400 points? Are you sure?"
"How could I be wrong about this? I'm just trying to recruit someone for our alma mater! Before the college entrance exam results are announced, let's take preemptive action."
"Director Wu, I understand. Let's not talk about it for now. Our school needs alumni like you!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qingzhi quickly reported the news to the school, and the school responded quickly.
After experiencing ten years of turmoil, he was still able to get full marks. The school also knows how valuable this result is.
Soon, Peking University and Tsinghua University sent an admissions team led by the vice president and accompanied by the Dean of Academic Affairs Chen Qingzhi, straight to Huairen County!
"Team Leader Chen, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet!"
"Team Leader Chen, my stomach hurts a bit too. I'm going to the restroom too."
"Team Leader Chen, I'm going out to have a cigarette and get some fresh air."
…
Ever since Du Wanying's information was exposed, Chen Xing found that people in the group kept asking for leave from him.
"It's strange. There's nothing wrong with the food today, so why are there so many people suffering from stomachaches all of a sudden?"
Team leader Chen was puzzled. Finally, another person came to Team leader Chen and said that he had a stomachache and wanted to go to the toilet.
Team leader Chen agreed verbally, but secretly followed him.
As he followed along, Team Leader Chen realized something was wrong. This was not the way to the toilet.
Finally, Team Leader Chen discovered that the man had entered the communications room.
In those days, telephones were not as popular as they are today, and they were not program-controlled phones, so they could not make long-distance calls.
Therefore, except for the offices of individual leaders, the phones in other offices are internal and can only be dialed within the unit.
Therefore, each unit has a communication room with several public telephones for ordinary employees to make external calls.
Team leader Chen walked into the communications room and found it crowded. No matter if they had just complained of a stomachache or had gone out to smoke, everyone was lined up here to make phone calls. Even several grading group leaders from next door were here.
When everyone saw Team Leader Chen come in, they all scratched their heads embarrassedly.
Now only the person who was still on the phone hadn't noticed Team Leader Chen coming in.
Still talking on the phone: "Yes, Du Wanying from Huairen County, full marks, good, good, I will definitely go back to visit my alma mater when I have time."
After hanging up the phone, the man turned around and saw Team Leader Chen with a sullen face. His old face turned red and he stepped aside without saying anything.
Team Leader Chen finally understood what these people were doing. It turned out that they were tipping off their alma mater!
Yes, today's universities are really eager for talents. A school will not give up on talents like Du Wanying.
It's just my own stupidity that I only realized it now.
Since it has come to this, let's compete fairly.
Team Leader Chen's alma mater is Renmin University, which is also one of the top universities in the country. Thinking of this, Team Leader Chen walked to the phone without hesitation and dialed Renmin University's number.
After some explanation, Renmin University was not willing to be outdone and directly sent a full-time admissions team led by a professor to Huairen County as soon as possible.
Huairen County.
Du Wanying and her third brother were sitting by the river chatting.
"Little sister, it seems that the college entrance examination results will be announced in the next two days. I wonder how you did."
"I think I did pretty well on the test, how about you, Third Brother?"
The third brother scratched his head and grinned sheepishly, "I'm not sure. I haven't done a few of the big questions yet, but the ones I can answer should be fine."
Du Wanying was just about to comfort her third brother when she heard voices calling "Yingying" from a distance.
Du Wanying turned around and saw that it was He Xiaofang.
"Ying... Yingying, hurry, go home."
He Xiaofang said breathlessly.
When Du Wanying heard He Xiaofang say this, she suddenly became nervous.
"What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"
He Xiaofang hadn't even caught her breath yet and was so anxious that she couldn't speak.
When Du Wanying saw this scene, she pulled He Xiaofang straight home without saying a word.
Third brother Du Yuanzhan was also very anxious. What happened? He Xiaofang ran over like this.
He Xiaofang couldn't speak a coherent word along the way, so Du Wanying could only run home with her third brother as fast as she could.
But before reaching the dormitory building, I could hear the sound of gongs and drums coming from afar.
"What's going on? I haven't heard of anyone having a wedding."
Looking back at He Xiaofang, who was panting harder than a cow, she could only open her mouth and scream.
Du Wanying sighed, let go of He Xiaofang's hand, and ran into the compound first.
"Ah, the top scholar is back!"
"I've always been told that Yingying is amazing. She invented an earthquake-proof bed at such a young age and even became a Women's Day Red Flag Bearer. Now, she's taken home the top spot in the imperial examination."
"I wish my boy was half as good as Yingying."
"You're dreaming! If you had half of Yingying's talent, wouldn't you at least be the top scholar in the county? I'm not greedy. I only want one-tenth of Yingying."
"Xiao Tao, go shake hands with your sister Yingying and share in the joy of being the top scholar."
"Yes, yes, Hongmei, you go and hold hands too."
Before Du Wanying could react, she was surrounded by a group of aunties and their grandchildren.
"What's going on? What's the top scholar?"
"Oh, Yingying, don't you know? You got the top scorer in our province in the college entrance examination this year."
"Yes, yes, I heard them say that if it weren't for the different exam papers in each province, Yingying, you would have been the top scorer in the country."
Du Wanying was stunned when she heard this. Although she was a good student in her previous life, she had never ranked first in the province, no, not even in the county.
Du Wanying felt that this test paper was very simple as she had done all the questions before.
However, although I was very confident in myself, I didn't expect that I would accidentally get the top score in the exam.
Du Wanying, along with her third brother and He Xiaofang, finally made their way through the crowd and arrived at the scene where drums and gongs were being played.
I saw a crowd of people dressed in red and green, with a banner in front of them that read, "Warm congratulations to our county student Du Wanying for winning first place in the provincial college entrance examination."
At that time, there was no regulation like in later generations to keep the scores of high-scoring candidates confidential and not disclose them. In addition, this was the first college entrance examination in ten years, so it was taken very seriously.
Seeing Du Wanying coming, a man wearing black-framed glasses, a slicked-back hair, and a black Zhongshan suit walked out of the crowd.
