Chapter 425 Before Zhuo Mingda could speak, the two people from Huazhong University of Science and Technology's Junior Class introduced themselves, saying that they were teachers in charge of admissions at Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Upon hearing the words "Huazhong University of Science and Technology" and recalling some recent rumors, Jiang Si instantly understood the other party's intentions.
At the symposium in August, in addition to clarifying the resumption of the college entrance examination, the leaders also put forward the guiding principle of "producing talents as early as possible and as quickly as possible".
Huazhong University of Science and Technology responded the fastest, launching preparations for its gifted youth program shortly after the meeting.
The first cohort of students in the gifted youth program will not need to take the college entrance examination; they will be selected independently by the school.
Jiang Si was unaware of the specific selection process.
All I know is that the children who can get into the gifted youth program are basically geniuses among geniuses, and their average age is no more than 15 years old.
The two teachers didn't beat around the bush; after a few pleasantries, they went straight to the point.
Just as Jiang Si had expected, they had indeed set their sights on Jingxing and Jingyan and were considering recruiting them.
Jiang Si wasn't surprised by this.
In recent years, the two children have shown a level of maturity and learning ability that far exceeds that of their peers, and it was only a matter of time before they were noticed.
Seeing that Jiang Si remained silent after listening, the older teacher quickly spoke up.
"Comrade Jiang, please rest assured that if your child goes to our Huazhong University of Science and Technology's Junior Class, we will definitely invest the best resources to nurture them and strive to discover their greatest potential."
Before Jiang Si could speak, another teacher continued, "Only twenty-one students were selected nationwide for the first cohort of the gifted youth program. Your two children are the youngest and most talented among them."
"Such promising talents will surely achieve great things in their respective fields within a few years!"
"Yes, Comrade Jiang," the teacher who had spoken earlier urged again, "This opportunity is truly rare; it would be a real shame to miss it!"
No one dislikes hearing others praise their child, but at this moment, Jiang Si is just an ordinary mother.
For her, fame and fortune are nothing compared to the genuine joy her child brings.
She didn't want them to be swayed by "external expectations" or "worldly success," but rather to choose the path they wanted to take from the bottom of their hearts.
"Thank you both for your concern, but I think the most important thing is the children's own opinion." Jiang Si's tone was gentle but firm. "I need to discuss this with them seriously and respect their wishes."
Although the two teachers expressed some regret, they didn't say anything, only that they would visit again in a few days.
After seeing the two teachers off, Zhuo Mingda immediately began to explain.
"Old Huo, sister-in-law, I didn't recommend them. I was also confused when they came to our door today."
Zhao Zhao is his prized student; he hasn't even taught her enough himself, so why would he willingly recommend her to someone else?
Seeing his pained expression, Huo Tingzhou and Jiang Si exchanged a glance.
Logically, since the two teachers came to us, they should already have fairly detailed information about the children.
They could have come directly to the family compound, why did they go to the Zhuo family first?
Suddenly, Jiang Si remembered something and asked, "Teacher Zhuo, is it Qingyun...?"
“Yes, our Qingyun was selected too.” Zhuo Mingda sighed, his expression somewhat complicated. “The key point is that he agreed.”
Just then, the brother and sister returned from the Hu family's house.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I happened to hear this sentence.
Zhao Zhao asked curiously, "Who agreed? And what did they agree to?"
"Jingxing, Jingyan, come and sit down. Mom has something she wants to talk to you about seriously."
Jiang Si did not arbitrarily deceive or make decisions for the two children just because they were young.
After the two sat down, she told them the whole story.
"Mom, is the USTC Junior Class really that good?" Zhao Zhao asked, blinking her eyes.
Jiang Si nodded and answered seriously, "They are very talented. The children who can get in are basically one in ten thousand."
Everyone has a tendency to admire the strong, and the brother and sister are no exception.
Especially after learning that Zhuo Qingyun from the Zhuo family had also been selected and agreed to join, a hint of longing appeared on the expressions of the two of them.
At this moment, Jiang Si finally understood how Teacher Hu felt.
But she couldn't say it.
Just when she thought the two little ones would also nod in agreement.
The brother and sister looked at each other and finally made it clear that they would not go.
USTC is a good university, but it's located far away in Anhui Province.
