The college entrance examination results came out quickly, and Zhou Xiaonian undoubtedly became the top scorer in the country.
The admissions directors of the nation's top universities almost fought over her. Several universities located in the capital city took advantage of the situation and went directly to her home, pulling every string they could and using every connection they could, practically moving into the Gu family home.
Beicheng University and Yanqing University offered generous scholarships, and everything they promised was something that ordinary students wouldn't even dare to dream of.
The directors started arguing again at the Gu family's house, but Zhou Xiaonian and her brothers quietly slipped out and went to Kowloon Ice Room for iced drinks.
During graduation season, it seems like every corner of the capital is filled with students. Kowloon Cafe, as the most famous cafe in the area, is packed with people, and even Zhou Xiaonian, the small owner, can't find an empty seat.
Just as she was about to take her iced drink to the park in front of the street, someone on the second floor suddenly called out to her: "Zhou Xiaonian, over here!"
It's Xu Jing'an.
He had a gathering with some friends, some of whom were from his own class, and four of whom were from Zhou Xiaonian's class. There were both boys and girls. Zhou Xiaonian was quite familiar with the ones from Zhou Xiaonian's class.
However, there were too many people at Kowloon Ice Room. Zhou Xiaonian, the national champion and a celebrity, became the focus of the entire venue simply by standing there, thanks to Xu Jing'an's shout.
Zhou Xiaonian was used to being the center of attention, but she didn't like being stared at like this in this kind of setting, so she simply shook the milk tea in her hand in response and left the ice room with her three brothers.
I didn't expect Xu Jing'an to show up.
Just as Zhou Xiaonian and his siblings sat down on the steps of the park, Xu Jing'an and several of his friends arrived.
They were all young men and women, and whether they knew each other or not, they became familiar with each other after a few words.
"Zhou Xiaonian, you've been really popular lately," a classmate joked. "So, are you planning to go for Beicheng University or give your chance to Qingyan University?"
Zhou Xiaonian's class was the top class at Changqing High School. Most of the students' scores reached the admission scores for Beicheng University and Qingyan University. They had decided which university they would attend long ago.
Zhou Xiaonian has always been outstanding and low-key, and she never talks about her college choices, making her very mysterious. Now, the top universities in the country are making TV news every day because of her. Everyone is really curious about which university she will ultimately choose.
"I haven't decided yet. I'll let everyone know when I do."
Zhou Xiaonian said she hadn't decided yet, but her college application had never changed. It was just that the school she preferred hadn't contacted her yet, so she didn't want to say it so soon.
She had already decided that if Erbin didn't contact her by 6 PM tomorrow, she would contact Erbin herself.
She wanted to build an aircraft carrier, and Harbin Engineering University is the "cradle" of China's aircraft carrier technology. This school is the top in the country in related fields, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just an ordinary university.
So a few days later, when news broke that Zhou Xiaonian had chosen a relatively unknown university in Harbin instead of Beicheng, Qingyan, or USTC, everyone felt she had been tricked.
Xu Jing'an thought so too. He even went to find Zhou Xiaonian and quietly asked her if the Gu family had chosen Harbin Engineering University for her.
Zhou Xiaonian shook his head: "I chose the school myself because I want to build an aircraft carrier, and looking across the country, only Harbin Engineering University can help me realize my dream."
Xu Jing'an was startled: "You want to build an aircraft carrier?"
"Um."
"But this is extremely difficult, extremely difficult, even Russia only has one!"
“It’s precisely because it’s difficult that I’m going to do it. If even a top student like me doesn’t dare to take on the challenge, who else would dare to?” Zhou Xiaonian smiled. “My parents, the Gu family, and the Zhou family all support me and firmly believe that I can build an aircraft carrier.”
