Xie Yi came back very quickly. In less than five minutes, he ran back holding a long wooden box.
The wobbling movements and the flying speed made the old men who knew what treasure was in the box nervous.
Old Man Su couldn't help but remind him loudly: "Run slower, run slower, or else you'll break the copybook!"
Everyone: “…”
No, Mr. Xie hasn't said anything yet, so why is it his turn to worry about it? If you don't know, you might think this is his thing.
etc……
Old Man Jiang paused, his eyes fell on Old Man Su, who had a nervous look on his face, and suddenly he understood.
So, this is what old man Xie meant by heartbreaking?
So he wasn't talking about himself, but about Old Man Su?
That is indeed the case.
It is certainly painful to export your own products, but it is also painful to see the duck that you thought was in your mouth suddenly fly away.
Even more distressed!
Especially for a miser like Old Man Su who is always trying to take advantage of others, it is an epic heartache, so heartbreaking that it makes one suffocate!
Whenever Old Man Jiang thought of that scene, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
But when I think about the content of their bet, I can't laugh anymore
"No, are you that confident in your daughter?" Old Man Jiang leaned closer to Xie Bowen again and lowered his voice, "Let me remind you, Old Man Su's grandson ranked 21st in Kyoto in the last mock exam. If he had performed better, he might have been in the top 20."
"Come on, old friend, tell me the truth. How are your daughter's grades? Where did she rank in the last mock exam?"
Xie Bowen looked inscrutable: "You'll know in a moment."
Old man Jiang was frightened by him and nodded blankly: "Oh oh oh."
Xie Yi watched the whole process and couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
You will know in a moment. You won’t know in two moments, three moments, four moments... You will never know in a hundred moments, a thousand moments!
His aunt hasn't participated in any exams organized by the school or the education bureau since she transferred from Elite!
As they were talking, the property management staff who was invited to act as the referee had already dialed the Kyoto score inquiry hotline.
After a long wait, a gentle, mechanical female voice rang out from the phone's speaker: "Welcome to the Kyoto College Entrance Examination score inquiry hotline. Please enter your admission ticket number or ID number to start checking your scores, ending with the # key..."
The referee immediately picked up an A4 paper with the admission ticket numbers of the candidates written on it and entered the first admission ticket number.
"Admission ticket number 072***830, candidate name Fang Rui, Chinese 94, Math 116... Total score 549, ranking 6,327th in Kyoto."
Old Man Fang's face immediately fell: "I remember the total score was 750, how come it's only 549..."
The property manager continued checking on the next candidate while smiling and reassuring him, "549 is already a pretty good score. I heard from my friends at the Education Bureau that due to the influence of this international elite competition, the difficulty of this year's college entrance examination is generally higher across the country, especially in Kyoto. The difficulty is more than doubled compared to previous years."
The difficulty level of the Kyoto exam has always been only medium nationwide.
When Dawn Light won the International Elite Championship for the first time, all the college entrance examination question setters were like chicken blood, trying their best to make the questions difficult.
The difficulty of the Kyoto exam that year reached a new peak, and no college entrance examination paper has surpassed it to this day.
After that, the difficulty gradually decreased.
But this year, Dawn of Light defeated international universities and won the International Elite Championship again, washing away the shame of the previous session and once again boosting the morale of the teachers who set the examination papers.
After six years, the Kyoto exam finally surpassed itself and once again made countless Kyoto test takers cry.
"This year, Kyoto's first-class admission score is nearly 50 points lower than last year, at only 483. Mr. Fang's grandson's score is 549, which is 66 points higher than the first-class score. There are many good schools for him to choose from." The property management staff continued.
Although Old Man Fang was concerned about his grandson's college entrance examination, this was the first time he heard about these things. His expression relaxed and he immediately became beaming: "So, my little Rui did quite well in the exam?"
That's pretty good.
The property manager then checked three more people in a row. Although they all reached the first-class line, their total scores were slightly lower than Fang Rui's, namely 517, 538, and 531.
The smile on Old Man Fang's face couldn't stop growing.
"...Chinese 113, Math 133, English 129... Total score 621, ranking 723rd in Kyoto."
The familiar mechanical sound rang out again, and everyone's expressions paused. After realizing what was happening, they immediately cast surprised glances at Old Man Jiang: "621! That's almost a hundred points higher than my granddaughter! Old Jiang, your grandson is really good!"
Old Man Jiang hadn't expected his grandson to do so well in the exam. After a moment of surprise, he smiled broadly and said with great satisfaction, "Not bad. This kid is usually so careless, but I didn't expect him to be so steady at the critical moment. It seems like I really need to reward him this time."
The property manager also smiled and congratulated, "Kyoto is ranked in the top 1,000. With this result, apart from top universities like Peking University and Peking University, you can basically choose any university in the country. Congratulations, Mr. Jiang."
Old Man Jiang laughed even more happily: "Congratulations, I'll treat everyone to a drink later."
Amidst the laughter, only Old Man Su snorted in his heart and urged, "And what about my Xiaoyan? Quick, check how many points my Xiaoyan got."
Oh, yes, that's still a bet.
Everyone calmed down and continued to watch the administrator check the scores.
"...Candidate Su Yan, Chinese 119, Math 137, English 139... Total score 637, Kyoto ranked 2,021st."
Old Man Su's expression changed slightly. "Only 221st place. Are you kidding me? My Xiaoyan ranked 21st in the entire Kyoto in the last mock exam!"
A difference of two hundred places, how is this possible?!
Everyone rolled their eyes inwardly. An old lady watching couldn't help but retort, laughing, "Didn't you say it yourself, Old Su? Your grandson got lucky in the last mock exam and performed exceptionally well. This time, he performed normally?"
Old Man Su's face darkened and he felt a little embarrassed.
But it only took a few seconds for him to immediately think of the key point at the moment.
The gloom on his face faded, and he smiled broadly. "Although my performance was average, it was still okay. 644 points. I won the bet, so I won't be polite."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the nearest wooden box, his eyes full of joy and greed.
This is Mr. Lin’s original work, worth over 10 million. I’m going to make a fortune this time!
Old Man Su's face was full of joy, but before he could open the wooden box and appreciate the calligraphy carefully, a hand stretched out from the horizontal strips and pulled the wooden box out of his hand with a little force.
