Chapter 33: Top Scorer in Science
Ye Jinmo was deeply moved, and even her eyes looked at Ji Sichen with a little more eagerness.
The man noticed the strange look in the girl's eyes, coughed lightly, and looked away.
"Two ginseng plants can make you so satisfied?"
She stood up and subconsciously grabbed his sleeve, her eyes tinged with excitement: "Boss, you don't know, this ginseng can save many people's lives!"
Through the thin cloth, the girl's soft warmth touched him from time to time, and the tips of his ears turned a little red instantly.
Without waiting for his reaction, she withdrew her hand, thanked him, and trotted towards the living room with the ginseng in her arms.
Leaving him alone standing there in a daze.
Looking at her back as she ran away, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
He had seen all kinds of people, but he was actually moved by a little girl...
Ye Jinmo did not return to the Zhong family until dark. She learned that Chu Hong was a good friend of her master and that he was also a long-standing friend of the Ji family, and they got along very well.
As soon as I stepped into the house, I heard laughter coming from inside.
"I heard that someone from the TV station will come to interview Shanshan tomorrow!"
"Yes, Shanshan has such good grades, she is our pride..."
Seeing her come in, the people in the living room didn't have time to stop smiling and their voices stopped abruptly.
Mother Zhong stood up with a smile: "Jinmo is back, are you hungry? Mom asked the kitchen to cook?"
"I've eaten, thank you, mom."
Mr. Zhong's face was full of red. "We are talking about Shanshan's interview tomorrow. Jinmo, I heard last time that you also took the college entrance examination as an exception. Which school do you want to go to? Dad will arrange it!"
"Uncle-in-law, why don't you let my sister go to the same school as me? I was recommended to Imperial University and I don't have many friends of the same age, so it's just right for my sister to keep me company!"
Meng Shanshan's seemingly caring words were full of boasting.
Zhong Beichi also agreed to this proposal, but after experiencing the banquet, he looked at Ye Jinmo with a bit of pity: "Shanshan is right, but isn't it a bit difficult for the Imperial University? I heard that Principal Yao is impartial..."
This put Mr. Zhong in a dilemma. Principal Yao was well-known in the circle for his impartiality and strictness in academics. He was very opposed to wealthy families spending money to get their children into Imperial University.
Mother Zhong also became worried: "How about, Jinmo, let's choose another school?"
"No need." Ye Jinmo said calmly.
Before she could finish, Meng Shanshan continued, "Sister, I've met Principal Yao before, and he's really not easy to talk to..."
"Aren't you making things difficult for Dad?" Zhong Beichi couldn't stand the provocation, and his words ignited his anger, and his previous sympathy disappeared, "If your grades were good, your family wouldn't have to worry about you."
Mother Zhong glared at him, then turned around and took Ye Jinmo's hand, comforting her softly, "Don't listen to your second brother's nonsense. If there is no school you like in China, ask your father and your eldest brother to send you abroad. You can also travel and relax."
Mr. Zhong also nodded. He didn't want to favor one over the other between his two daughters.
Meng Shanshan had good grades since she was young and was admitted to a higher school after only one year at No. 1 Middle School. But Ye Jinmo was different. When he thought of the faces of the Ye family at the banquet, he felt sorry for his daughter who had suffered for many years.
After thinking it over again and again, he spoke carefully: "Jinmo, don't worry, if you really want to go to Imperial University, just take another year of tutoring. Dad will hire the best teacher for you and will send you to Imperial University no matter what!"
Meng Shanshan's eyes flashed with mockery, and she instantly changed to a sensible look. She stood up and took her arm, as if she was sure that her grades were not good: "Sister, how are your grades in school? I think it would be more efficient to understand your grades before going to the teacher."
Ye Jinmo raised an eyebrow, glanced at the contempt on her face, and said lightly: "Not bad."
Zhong Beichi couldn't help but said: "It's okay...how many points can you get?"
Seeing his parents' slightly gloomy faces, he shut up awkwardly.
But he still muttered: "We have to know what place she ranked in the exam, right?"
"Let's wait until the scores are out tomorrow," said Zhong's father, trying to smooth things over.
Ye Jinmo frowned and looked at the people in front of her who were sure that her score was not high. She collected her thoughts and didn't want to say anything more.
To ease the embarrassment, Zhong's mother took her upstairs and asked the servant to bring her a midnight snack.
Meng Shanshan tugged at Zhong Beichi's sleeve, complaining, "Second brother, why did you ask about my grades? Aren't you deliberately making me sad?"
She hid the sarcasm in her eyes.
So what if she stole the show at the banquet? She has always been at the top of her grade since she was young. Just the fact that she was admitted to Imperial University is enough for her to crush Ye Jinmo, who has poor grades!

Ye family.
The family of three was in a state of worry and the Ye family was facing bankruptcy.
Father Ye looked at the mother and daughter in front of him with a look of disappointment.
"It's all your fault. Why did you mess with the Zhong family? Now look what happened. The company has lost so much business!"
Mother Ye felt guilty, but she refused to give in: "Can you blame me for this? It's all that ungrateful bastard's fault. We raised her up, and not only did she not repay us, she even came to take revenge on our family!"
The two of them were arguing fiercely.
Ye Shuran's face darkened, and he stood between his parents: "Mom and Dad, the college entrance examination scores will be released tomorrow. Maybe we have a chance to save the situation!"
The noise stopped abruptly. Mother Ye's eyes lit up and she pulled her aside and said excitedly, "Yes, our Shu Ran took the college entrance examination at the age of sixteen. She is much better than that ungrateful person. The college entrance examination is a national event. If Shu Ran can get into a good university, she will be a genius girl, and our Ye family will be able to restore a lot of image!"
Mr. Zhong also calmed down and looked at his daughter with expectation.
Ye Shuran thought to herself that although her grades were not outstanding, it would not be a problem for her to get into a key university.
In addition, she had been in love with the young master of the Jin family some time ago. Once the scores are out, she can use the help of the Jin family to revive the Ye family!
She felt angry when she thought about the last time Ye Jinmo caught them kissing on the street.
This time, she must beat Ye Jinmo!
She didn't sleep well the whole night and got up at dawn to wash and dress.
The Ye couple also got up early, and the three of them sat in front of the computer.
At about eight o'clock, the nanny came hurriedly in, holding the phone, with an excited look on her face.
"Sir, the admissions office staff from Imperial University and Jiang University said they will come to your house soon to deliver the admission letter to you, young lady!"
Mother Ye was stunned by the great joy and looked at her precious daughter with burning eyes!
Two top prestigious universities are coming to our home, this is a treatment only available to top scorers in the college entrance examination!
Ye Shuran was also very excited, but doubts arose in his heart.
Did she do so well in the exam?
Although she was consistently ranked in the top 30 in school, she had never won first place...
Without having time to think too much, she was pushed to the door by her parents to greet people from the admissions office.
People from the two schools arrived at the same time, holding gold-embossed admission letters in their hands.
"This is student Ye, right?" Jiangda's admissions teacher shook her hand and said, "Congratulations to student Ye for winning the top spot in the Imperial Capital College Entrance Examination in the science subject with an excellent score of 745!"
