Chapter 25 No school dares to admit the provincial top scholar!
Dare to admit! "Don't worry too much. The teacher told you this because he hopes you can be mentally prepared in advance."
"Don't worry. There are so many people here. It's impossible to cancel it just like that. We have to give an explanation."
"Well, thank you, teacher. I know."
At this point, there is no other way but to wait patiently.
On the way back, Lin Siqiao made a special call to his second uncle's workplace.
For fear of worrying them, she did not elaborate on the specific situation, only saying that she wanted to wait until she got the notification letter before going back.
When the second uncle of the Qiao family heard this, he also felt that there was no rush to go home. It didn't matter if he went a few days later. It would be more reassuring to get the notice in hand.
After all, impersonation is very common these days.
More than half a month passed in the wait, and it was already mid-August.
During this period of time, Lin Siqiao has also seen a lot of news on the radio and in newspapers, and can only say that the situation is indeed not very optimistic.
The incident escalated and, with the instigation of some people, has even become a favorable pawn in criticizing the exam.
Lin Siqiao also learned from Teacher Zhu that many students who did not perform as well as she did had already received admission letters, but she had no news at all.
Lin Siqiao is not the type of person who would sit and wait for death. Since he has doubts in his heart, he will face them head-on.
The next morning, Lin Siqiao went directly to the Admissions Office to inquire about the situation.
When the admissions office staff heard this, he knew he couldn't handle the matter, so he invited the person to his office and asked her to wait for a moment.
Half an hour later, the office door was opened.
"I'm sorry, Lin, I kept you waiting for so long."
The admissions office staff introduced them.
"This is our Ancheng City Deputy Mayor Zhang, who is in charge of education, science, culture, health and other aspects of our city."
"This is Director Li from our Admissions Office."
"Hello, Vice Mayor Zhang, Hello, Director Li, I am Lin Siqiao."
Just as Lin Siqiao was about to stand up, Deputy Mayor Zhang motioned for her to just sit down.
"Student Lin, we already understand your situation."
"I'm sure you know that there was something special about this college entrance examination."
Lin Siqiao nodded, she did know.
But she couldn't understand why she was the only one who was not admitted.
Lin Siqiao directly asked the doubts in his heart.
Deputy Mayor Zhang did not play dumb with her just because she was young.
"Student Lin, your grades are excellent."
"This time he is not only the No. 1 scholar in Ancheng City, but also the No. 1 scholar in Anhui Province."
"only……"
Deputy Mayor Zhang really didn’t know how to start the conversation.
He himself felt that this reason was not only unconvincing, but also extremely ridiculous!
Who could have imagined that a provincial top scholar would fall to the point where no university dared to admit him.
After much hesitation, Deputy Mayor Zhang finally told the situation.
Lin Siqiao was speechless after hearing this. It was the first time she encountered such a ridiculous thing!
"No university is willing to accept me?"
"Not even one?"
Deputy Mayor Zhang didn't dare to look her in the eyes, but just sighed.
“Not that there isn’t one.”
"The drama academy in Shanghai called."
"Shanghai Theater Academy?"
"Yes, they are interested in admitting you."
"But their school has preliminary examination, re-examination and final examination. Candidates need to go to Shanghai in person. They can only issue the admission letter after they have passed the final examination."
In this era, people still psychologically feel that the profession of actor is inferior to others.
Therefore, Deputy Mayor Zhang does not agree from the bottom of his heart that this is a good choice.
"Student Lin, you are a rare talent in the country. In fact, we have been trying to help you."
"Don't be discouraged by this little setback."
"You are still young, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"
Deputy Mayor Zhang said this in a tactful way, but Lin Siqiao still understood his subtext.
If I have been trying to help you, it just means that I have not succeeded yet.
You are still young and have plenty of opportunities. Which means if it doesn’t work this year, wait until next year, and if it doesn’t work next year, wait until the year after. In short, things will get better in the future.
But why should I wait?
For Lin Siqiao, it doesn’t really matter which university he goes to.
She doesn't rely on this academic qualification to make a living, and Lin Siqiao doesn't think it's shameful to go to a theatre.
If anyone is to be embarrassed, it should be them!
I am a provincial top scholar, but I have no school to go to.
Whether it is the decline of morality or the distortion of human nature, they themselves know it clearly!
"Deputy Mayor Zhang, Director Li, thank you for running around for my sake."
"If there is really no school willing to accept me."
"I would like to go to the drama school in Shanghai."
"Student Lin, don't worry. Maybe there will be a chance for this to turn around."
The two leaders were also eager to recruit talents. It was not easy for Ancheng City to produce such a top scholar, but things turned out like this.
They were too embarrassed to explain to the elders and fellow villagers of Jiangdong.
"No, thank you for your care for me, I can't make things difficult for you."
"And in order to prepare for this exam, my work has been handed over, I..."
Lin Siqiao spoke halfway in an awkward manner, and Deputy Mayor Zhang understood as soon as he heard it.
What do you think these people are doing?
As if he had thought of something, Deputy Mayor Zhang looked directly at Director Li of the Admissions Office.
"I remember that our city has a policy that people like Lin should be rewarded, right?"
National affairs are not something that a small deputy mayor like him can influence.
He can only help with such small matters.
"Yes, yes."
Director Li is a smart man and immediately understood what his leader meant.
"For the city's top scholar, the reward was 300 yuan in previous years."
"This is the first time that the provincial champion has appeared in our Ancheng. I think the reward should be at least 500."
“It should be.”
Deputy Mayor Zhang nodded and decided that this matter had to be handled specially.
"How about this, you go directly to the Finance Department to withdraw your bonus later."
"To make it even, the two together total one thousand dollars."
"Write a note and send it to my office later."
"Okay, got it."
Director Li agreed very readily.
Lin Siqiao did not say no in a superior manner. This was something she earned based on her own ability and she deserved it.
But I still have to say polite words.
Lin Siqiao quickly expressed his opinion, "Thank you for the care of the leadership and the organization. I will always remember it."
"No matter where I go in the future, I will never forget the love my hometown people have shown me."
Deputy Mayor Zhang nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, I have another meeting later, you guys can chat first."
Director Li gave a few brief instructions and then took Lin Siqiao to the Finance Department.
A bonus of one thousand yuan was handed to her, and a letter of introduction from the city government was also given to Lin Siqiao.
With this, whether you are buying train tickets, boat tickets or accommodation, it is much more useful than an ordinary letter of introduction.
They will make contact with the Shanghai Theatre Academy, but as for the rest, it depends on Lin Siqiao himself.
[As an aside, the situation back then was far more complicated than in the novel. (If you don’t enter the entertainment industry, you will be transferred to a top university in China within a month after enrollment to pursue your career!!! Don’t worry!!!)
If you are interested, you can search on Baidu.
You can also look at the screenshot of the information I put below to understand why she did so well in the exam but was not admitted to a good university.
I saw many people leaving messages asking why the heroine didn't fight for it or make a big fuss. Let me just briefly mention it here. It is wishful thinking for the heroine to fight back given her current situation.
Another thing I want to say is, don’t worry about Qiao Qiao, she will shine even brighter in the future! Stunning the world!
Finally, let me ask, is there anyone who can’t see the pictures I posted in the main text?
Recently I’ve received a lot of comments saying that they can’t see it, which is strange. 】
