The onlookers had different expressions on their faces.
No one had expected that the top scholar, Zhang Xianxian’s college entrance examination score was only 106.
This was a huge shock.
Qingzhong School is the best high school in Qing City.
For instance, based on last year’s admission score, although there hadn’t been a student in the top ten of the province, grabbing someone from the top five hundred was almost guaranteed.
The worst-performing student could still get into a good university.
What is 106?
Even the worst student in their class scored more than 106 in a single subject.
Did Zhang Xianxian take the exam with her feet?
Others using their feet probably did better than her.
"What’s going on with Zhang Xianxian?"
"Could the rumors online be true?"
People lowered their voices and started to gossip.
Someone quietly took photos of Zhang Xianxian’s score report with their phone.
Watching the score report and verifying the examination registration number again, Teacher Sun confirmed it was indeed Zhang Xianxian’s score report, then, overwhelmed, she fainted.
Bang!
She fell straight to the ground.
"Teacher Sun, Teacher Sun!"
Some people helped lift Teacher Sun up.
Others tried reviving her by pinching the acupuncture point.
In pain, Teacher Sun opened her eyes, grabbed a fellow teacher’s hand, "Teacher Zhao! It was a hallucination right? Our class’s Zhang Xianxian didn’t score 106!"
Teacher Zhao sighed, "Teacher Sun, you need to accept reality."
Accept reality?
How could Teacher Sun accept this reality?
A total score of 106!
She not only lost a top scorer candidate, but she thought this score would drag down the overall score of the class.
It would become the darkest part of Teacher Sun’s entire teaching career.
No bonus.
No interviews.
No chance for a promotion either.
Teacher Sun, engulfed in grief, clung to Teacher Zhao’s arm, sobbing bitterly.
Why was fate so cruel to her?
Meanwhile.
At the Lin Family’s home.
Having learnt that they could check the scores in the afternoon,
Lin Guixiang and Zhao Cuinong finished work early and went home.
Shen Lijun and others were playing cards with Lin Wu in the living room.
Seeing Lin Guixiang and Zhao Cuinong return, the three greeted them politely.
"Aunt, mother is back."
"The kids are here," Lin Guixiang handed a box to the nanny, "Aunt Shen, there are desserts in this box, please arrange and bring it to the kids."
"Okay madam." Aunt Shen took the box.
Zhao Cuinong smiled and said, "Looking at you kids, you must have done well in your exams."
"Not bad," Shen Lijun nodded, "I scored 715, Yajing 700, Sister Qiao 557."
Zhao Cuinong gave a thumbs up, "You’re all incredible."
With 700 points, you can pick any major university in the country.
Even the lowest score was 557.
How could these kids all be so brilliant?
Qiao Ran said with a smile, "What’s our score compared to Sister Lin’s? She’s the real genius here."
"What score did Xiao Wu get?" Zhao Cuinong and Lin Guixiang asked in unison.
Qiao Ran continued, "We can’t see the exact score yet, but our teacher said, Sister Lin’s score is at least in the top ten of the province."
Top ten in the province!
Even though Zhao Cuinong and Lin Guixiang knew that Lin Wu was outstanding, having always been the top student locally,
but what does being in the top ten of the province mean?
Just think, there were 650,000 students who took the college entrance examination this year.
Even Shen Lijun scoring 715 points was ranked around five to six hundred.
Lin Guixiang seemed to think of something, "Wait, if Xiao Wu’s score can’t be found, how did your teacher know her score is in the top ten of the province?"
"Because Sister Lin’s score was blocked."
Zhao Cuinong widened her eyes, "Really? Is there a screenshot? Let me see!"
This was the first time Zhao Cuinong had seen a college entrance examination score being blocked.
She had only read about such occurrences in the news before.
"I don’t have a screenshot," Qiao Ran continued, "but aunt, if you want to see it, I can check it for you."
"Sure." Zhao Cuinong nodded.
Qiao Ran stood up, went to the computer, and started to look up the scores.
The moment they saw the score report, Zhao Cuinong and Lin Guixiang were stunned.
Lin Wu’s score was indeed blocked.
Zhao Cuinong’s hands trembled as she took out her phone, "I need to take a photo, I’m going to post this on my social feed!"
She wanted everyone to know that she had a niece whose Gaokao scores were blocked.
Zhao Cuinong quickly composed a text message and posted it on her social feed.
Usually, her posts got at most a few dozen likes.
Today’s post just went up and she received innumerable likes and comments.
[Holy moly! To see a real top scorer of Gaokao in my lifetime.]
[So high scores can really be blocked, I thought it was just fake news.]
[My son also has his Gaokao next year, trying to catch some good luck here.]
[Such an excellent great niece, why not show her face?]
[Other than envy, I don’t know what else to say.]
