Chapter 81 Young Warriors
Liu Qin: "Each school's independent admission process is different. But for these three, Anhua University used to admit you as long as you scored above the first-tier university cutoff, but they required you to sign an agreement with them. Zhongli University used to lower the admission score by 20 points, but they didn't require you to sign such an agreement. If your college entrance exam score was high enough to get you into a better university, you could apply to other universities. Chuanhe University is the strictest. Not only do they require you to sign an agreement, but they also only lower the admission score by 20 points. You have to study the major you applied for through independent admission. The three universities have different situations, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. You have to make a choice."
Xu Zijun was stunned, not expecting this to happen.
“These are the independent admission recommendation forms for these three schools. Fill them out. You can take the independent admission exams for all three schools, but you have to make a choice in the end,” Liu Qin said. “Discuss it with your parents as well. You need to give me an answer by next Monday, understand?”
Xu Zijun was taken aback, then nodded.
She took the watch and left Liu Qin's office.
The person was still confused.
-
These things have absolutely nothing to do with Lu Yanhe.
He had no idea such a thing existed.
He overheard Lin Yu and the others discussing this matter while they were having dinner in the cafeteria that evening.
Lin Yu said, "I'll only choose Zhongli. I'll skip the others that require exclusive agreements. My targets are Zhenhua and Yuming."
Chen Qin looked conflicted and said, "My grades are mediocre, and I don't have many options. What if I end up only getting a place at a university that requires me to sign an enrollment agreement?"
"Think it over carefully yourself. Do you want to play it safe and have a backup plan, or do you want to take a gamble?" Lin Yu said.
Chen Qin: "I don't know. Anyway, I can only get a self-recommendation spot from Hengjiang. I don't want to think about it anymore. Maybe I won't even pass their self-enrollment."
"Who told you to be so reckless in your second year of high school? You didn't do well on several important exams."
Chen Qin sighed sadly.
Lu Yanhe said, "Anyway, it's just another chance, so let's give it a try first. If we really get the chance, then we'll think about what to do next."
"Hmm." Lin Yu nodded. "Chen Qin, you always want this and that."
"Wanting both fish and bear's paw is a human weakness; I just can't overcome my weakness as a human being," Chen Qin defended himself.
Lin Yu gave him a disdainful look.
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "It's alright. You see, we can't even have this kind of trouble. This is a happy kind of trouble."
"Yeah, at least you managed to get the last spot that could get a recommendation. Chu Saiying was right after you, and he missed out on the guaranteed admission and self-enrollment recommendations by just one place," Li Pengfei said gloatingly.
Chen Qin said, "He's already received an acceptance letter from an Ivy League school, why is he still competing with us for a spot in the independent admissions program?"
"What did you say earlier?" Li Pengfei pretended to think for two seconds, then said, "Wanting both fish and bear's paw is a weakness of human nature."
“No, that’s called greed. It’s not a weakness of human nature, it’s the inherent evil of human nature,” Chen Qin retorted.
"They're all the same thing."
As they were talking, Lin Yu suddenly interrupted them in a low voice: "Stop talking for now."
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Chu Saiying walked over alone, carrying a plate, looking for a seat.
He saw them too.
Both sides pretended not to see each other.
"His face is too dark," Li Pengfei complained.
"I was just one person short of being recommended for self-enrollment, of course I'm unhappy," Lin Yu said. "Don't go looking for trouble or provoking me."
“We have no conflict with him, why would we cause trouble? Don’t worry.” Li Pengfei chuckled.
Lin Yu: "...I can't put my mind at ease when you smile like that."
Li Pengfei scoffed, "Who do you think you are?"
After dinner, they returned to the classroom.
Unexpectedly, although the matter of independent enrollment has nothing to do with most people, it has received widespread attention, and almost everyone is talking about it.
"This year, our school has two guaranteed admission spots for Zhenhua High School. In previous years, one was for science and one for humanities, but this year both were given to science students," someone said.
"Why?"
"It is said that none of the liberal arts students who received the recommendation for admission in the past five years passed the interview at Zhenhua University. They were all rejected. Only two science students were able to get the recommendation."
"Uh, the senior students aren't very helpful."
"Our top liberal arts student is causing trouble," someone immediately said. "I heard her parents are here now, sitting in the principal's office."
"Damn, is Hou Zhi that powerful? She got her parents here so quickly."
"Yes, I called immediately."
...
For some reason, because of this incident, the atmosphere in the class suddenly became like a gossip center, with everyone enthusiastically discussing every piece of related news and details.
For example, everyone was talking about Hou Zhi, and they even knew which elementary school he attended.
"Hou Zhi's grandfather is a leader in the province. This matter can't just be left like this. They will definitely try to get that spot back."
"If they really cared about this, they wouldn't have given all the spots to science students in the first place. Besides, Hou Zhi's grandfather has already retired."
Listening to their discussion, Lu Yanhe learned quite a bit. Hou Zhi was a legend, consistently holding the top spot in the grade; she had never relinquished that position. According to the school teachers' predictions, as long as she performed normally, she was certain to be among the top ten in the province. Currently, her level was consistently among the top five in the province, making her a top contender for the provincial liberal arts champion this year.
The more Lu Yanhe listened, the stranger it seemed.
If that's the case, why didn't the school give Hou Zhi the recommendation spot for admission?
It sounds like Hou Zhi isn't lacking in talent; on the contrary, she seems so outstanding that she doesn't need this guaranteed admission spot at all.
Suddenly, Zhou Ziyu, who was usually the most talkative in the class, ran in excitedly and said, "Hou Zhi's parents came out of the principal's office."
"Any updates? How did their talks with the principal go?"
"All I know is that their expressions were very serious, which is not a good sign."
"Can't even Hou Zhi's family handle this?"
"Hou Zhi's grandfather has retired. He told you long ago that it's just a small matter and that her family no longer has the power to help her with this kind of thing."
"Sigh, then it seems we liberal arts students really won't get any guaranteed admission spots to Zhenhua High School this year."
"Actually, it's useless to get it. In the past five years, none of the people I recommended have passed Zhenhua's interview. The requirements must be very high. I don't know which geniuses can pass."
"Anyway, last year the school next door recommended someone who had won first prize in the New Concept Writing Competition and published a novel, but in the end, none of them qualified."
Lu Yanhe curled the corners of his mouth.
Many people think that high school life is simple. Look, this is his second time in his senior year of high school. It's not that simple. Young people also have their own world.
