On June 22, a hotline for checking college entrance examination scores was opened.
Qin Jiao's friends were more anxious than Qin Jiao herself. As soon as the hotline was opened, they rushed to help Qin Jiao check her scores. However, Qin Jiao herself was very calm.
"Total score: 706."
This is Qin Jiao’s total score in the college entrance examination!
Alas, I can’t compete for the title of the top student in science in Chengdu.
Not to mention Chengdu, even in this school, Qin Jiao already knew that a classmate had scored 707 points.
Friends felt a little disappointed, but Qin Jiao herself accepted it well: "The top scholar is just an empty title. I worked hard and didn't waste these three years. There is still a long way to go in life."
Qin Jiao was not pretending to be indifferent.
Maybe a year ago she was still someone who would feel disappointed because she failed to be elected as the student union president, but a year later, she can face gains and losses more calmly.
As for filling out the application form, Qin Jiao's personal intention is to apply to Peking University Guanghua School of Management.
Compared with Qin Jiao, Wen Kai's college entrance examination results are slightly inferior. Wen Kai scored 668 points this year.
Last year, Wen Kai only scored 569 points, but this year his total score increased by 99 points!
At first glance, you might think Wen Kai is so amazing. If he repeats a year, can he get 700 points?
Actually, it’s not like that.
Because this year's college entrance examination questions are not difficult.
The science cutoff score is a stark indicator. Last year, the science cutoff was 538 points, and Wen Kai surpassed it by 31 points. Beijing has always been a popular university nationwide, so his score wasn't high enough for his desired school, so he opted to repeat. But this year, the science cutoff in Sichuan Province was 598 points. Although Wen Kai's overall score improved by 99 points, it was only 70 points higher than the cutoff. The exam was simple, catering to average-achieving students and generally top-performing students. Wen Kai is a generally top-performing student, and since he worked hard and the questions weren't difficult, it's no surprise he scored 668 this year.
It is not very friendly to academic masters like Qin Jiao.
The test questions are simple, and the gap between top students and average top students is not big enough.
If the questions are more difficult, the top students who can score 700 points will still hover around this score line, and the average top students will be a bit far away from 700 points.
Unlike now, when Wen Kai scored 668 points, some people would think that it is not far from 700 points. If he improves a few points in each subject during the exam, can't he get 700 points?
——Not at all!
"Even if I repeat the exam for two more years, I probably won't get above 700 points. This is my best time yet, and I'm very satisfied with the result."
If the repeating period is prolonged, the grades may improve, or they may decline. Wen Kai can keep his composure after repeating for a year, but he does not think he can bear the pressure of continuing to repeat.
Wen Kai himself is very satisfied with his current score, 668 points. As long as he doesn't focus on Huaqing University, Peking University and Renmin University, he can choose any other university in Beijing.
Wen Kai’s goal was not that high. His favorite school was Capital University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
As for his major, Wen Kai wants to study computer science.
When Wen Kai told Wen Ying about this decision on the phone, Wen Ying was stunned.
Wen Kai noticed Wen Ying's strange silence.
"Do you think this major has a bad future?"
Most people would consult their elders when applying for a major. Wen Kai, in turn, consulted Wen Ying, which really showed that he trusted and was close to Wen Ying. Or it could be said that it was not consultation, but a discussion between the brother and sister. After all, Wen Ying would have to go through the same experience as Wen Kai in two years.
"No, no, no, this major has good prospects."
Computers are indeed a hot field in the 21st century, and a real hot field, unlike some so-called hot fields that are actually pitfalls... Wen Kai chose a major that could provide him with a decent living. He took the college entrance examination in 2005 and graduated in 2009, just in time to get a job as a high-paid programmer in a large company.
Wen Ying doesn't think there is anything wrong with choosing a major that takes both future prospects and financial prospects into consideration.
In this society, only a very small number of people are truly content with poverty. As long as they can have enough food to eat, they don’t have too much pursuit of material life. Their spiritual world is rich.
Some people who are said to be content with poverty are just too lazy to struggle, afraid of change, and live one day at a time in self-paralysis.
If you want to live a better life, it is not enough to have ideals, you also have to learn from Wen Kai's pragmatism.
Fearing that her hesitation might cause Wen Kai to change his major, Wen Ying quickly encouraged him, "Brother Kai, I wish you an annual salary of one million soon!"
Wen Kai thought Wen Ying was joking and agreed with a smile.
But a million-dollar annual salary seems so far away for Wen Kai.
In 2005, the starting salary for college graduates was not very high, and Wen Kai had never met anyone with an annual salary of one million in real life. Wen Kai didn't know at this time that when he insisted on taking the exam to go to a first-tier city and chose a good university and a good major, his future income ceiling would exceed that of most of his peers.
Otherwise, why does the old saying go that women are afraid of marrying the wrong man and men are afraid of choosing the wrong profession?
Wen Ying also felt deeply about this. In fact, both men and women are afraid of choosing the wrong career. If she had not been a lawyer in her previous life, but graduated from a jack-of-all-trades major with low gold content, let alone struggling for 6 years to buy a house in Shanghai, she might not be able to buy a house even if she did not rely on her parents for 16 years!
Qin Jiao and Wen Kai both did well in the exams this year and have decided on the schools and majors they want to apply for. Wen Ying no longer has anything to worry about and begins preparing for her final exams.
Just when Wen Ying was taking her final exams, Zhao Dong’s autobiography was published!
Zhao Dong found another publishing house and published his autobiography.
He was very fast. In May, he stole the limelight from Song Foxiang at the donation ceremony. At the end of June, he started promoting "Zhao Family Letters" on TV and appeared as a special guest on several local TV programs in Chengdu. Wen Ying was busy with final exams at the time and had no time to watch TV. Otherwise, seeing Zhao Dong promoting his autobiography on TV would really affect Wen Ying's mood.
Seeing Zhao Dong successfully enter the Chengdu cultural circle by stepping on him and appearing on TV, Song Foxiang was so angry that he wanted to make a figurine of Zhao Dong at home every day.
Song Chan didn't want to pay attention to her father's childishness.
Song Shao finally understood why Xie Qian reminded them not to accept the 1 million yuan compensation afterwards.
Even if he donated all the money, Zhao Dong could still step on his uncle to enter the Chengdu cultural circle. If he really accepted the 1 million compensation, it would not be just stepping on his uncle, but stepping on his uncle to death.
Zhao Dong is obviously an overseas Chinese businessman, but now he has spent so much effort to promote and package his identity. It is obvious that he is going to do something big.
Song Shao didn't know what big thing Zhao Dong was going to do, but he obviously couldn't afford to offend his uncle, a magazine editor-in-chief.
Faced with sufficiently tempting benefits, Zhao Dong will definitely not show any moral integrity!
Forget it, it’s best for my uncle to stay away from these things.
Overseas Chinese businessman Zhao Dong, Mr. Xie of Jinhu Group, and Mr. Xie’s son Xie Qian... Song Shao’s worry about Wen Ying flashed by, but the conflicts in the Xie family could not involve Wen Ying, a high school girl, so Song Shao put his worries aside.
After finishing the last exam, Wen Ying walked out of the classroom and breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Mengjiao ran over from the other end of the corridor, "How do you think you did on the exam?"
