Just as she expected, the recruitment center called the next day.
"Hello, is this Shi Xing?"
"I am."
"Congratulations, Shi! You're the top science student in our province this year! You can check it on the official website later. By the way, when are you free so we can come over and give you the prize money?"
The person on the other end of the phone sounded excited, and their joy was palpable.
"Okay, thank you. I'm free all day today."
Feeling her joy, Xing couldn't help but feel happy too.
The parents, standing to the side, were overjoyed beyond words. Their pupils dilated, and when they looked at each other, they could see the joy and excitement in each other's eyes.
"Hey Lao Shi, did you hear that?! Our daughter is the top scorer in the province!!"
Shi's mother grabbed Shi's father's arms and shook him violently, shouting uncontrollably.
"I heard it! I heard it! Our Xingxing is the top scorer in the province!" Shi's father was equally excited, being shaken back and forth by her.
"I have to post it on my WeChat Moments to show off, and I also have to post it in the family group so that all your older brothers, older sisters, and younger sisters can see it!"
Shi's mother stopped her trembling hands and took out her phone from her pocket, tapping away.
Halfway through her work, she looked up at Shi Xing and said, "Xingxing, quickly check the results, I need to take a picture!"
Shi Xing obediently checked her grades, and she was also curious about how many points she had scored.
Becoming the top scorer in the province was indeed beyond her expectations; she never imagined she could achieve such a feat.
Isn't this exactly what people often say online: if you could become the top scorer in the province, your family tree would have to be written from your name, and your parents would have to spoil and indulge you in everything?
It's kind of funny when you think about it.
As the Enter key was pressed, three pairs of eyes turned to the computer screen.
The total score column clearly showed 728.
Mother Shi got excited again and grabbed Father Shi's arms, shaking them wildly: "My daughter is too amazing!"
Mr. Shi also squeezed Mrs. Shi's shoulders, "She's truly our daughter! So accomplished!"
The two immediately decided to go grocery shopping themselves and celebrate at noon.
Aunt Du, who came to work, was given a large red envelope.
"Congratulations, Miss! You're the top scorer in the province! That's really amazing!"
Fortunately, I didn't have any cash, so I sent her a red envelope on WeChat.
The school where she was nominally enrolled was overjoyed; they had unexpectedly gained a student who was only nominally enrolled and turned out to be the top scorer in the province.
This is like a windfall!
The director who admitted her was praised repeatedly.
When Shi Qi came home from school at noon with Shi Muqing, she jumped over like a monkey as soon as she entered the door.
"Sis! Wow, you're amazing! You became the top scorer in the province! Our homeroom teacher even praised you today, saying that I'm your sister and I should learn from you. How can I possibly learn from you?!"
"It's okay, I'll buy you supplements. If you nourish your brain, maybe you can become as smart as me."
Shi Xing managed to free his trapped hand and reply to the message, which was a congratulatory message from Wang Xueyi and the others.
"Your summer vacation is only a few days away. Pack your things, get your acceptance letter, and then we'll set off."
She was referring to going on a trip.
Shi Qi nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely prepare. But where are you going to apply, sis?"
With her grades, her sister could easily get into any school.
Shi Xing's eyes flashed with contemplation, but he calmly replied, "Shanghai Tongxing University."
Shi Qi was a little surprised; she thought her sister was going to the Capital University.
Shi Xing had also thought about this question. She used to dream of attending the Capital University, after all, everyone has such a dream when they are young.
However, if she wants to become a top-tier tycoon, she should naturally go to the economic development center. The capital is the political center, so it's not a good place for her to make her move.
Besides Aunt Du, Mr. and Mrs. Shi also cooked several of their signature dishes for lunch.
After lunch, the TV reporter and the person delivering the bonus arrived together.
The day ended after a brief interview.
During those two days, both my parents' phones were ringing off the hook, and their WeChat messages kept going off non-stop.
Fortunately, I don't have many relatives among my WeChat friends, so things are much quieter.
During this period, Shi's parents were all radiant with smiles on their faces. When Shi's mother chatted with relatives and friends, she couldn't stop talking about the college entrance examination.
“Wow, our child has grown up to be so successful. Her dad and I were so worried about her dropping out of school to retake the exam, but we never expected her to be so amazing.”
“Your Xiaoli is great too, she’s sensible and hardworking. Every child has different strengths.”
"That's not right. If you want Xiaoli to get good grades, then enroll her in tutoring classes. You're just asking the impossible!"
Shi Xing listened from the side and nodded repeatedly. With such educational resources available, how could anyone easily score so high unless they were exceptionally smart? She only achieved this score with the help of the system.
When she hung up the phone, her mother frowned and shook her head.
“These people keep asking me to give them my contact information, but that’s not something you can just do by sharing.”
Shi Xing thought it was fortunate that her parents didn't show off too much; if they had really given all her contact information to a large group of people, she would have been swamped with work.
Soon Shi Qi's summer vacation began, and Shi Xing received her college admission notice in early July after filling out her application.
The whole family went on a trip to Xinjiang.
July and August are the best time to visit this place.
We originally planned to go to the beach, but then we thought we could go to Sanya in winter, so we changed our destination.
Shi Muqing also used connections to get a long leave of absence.
When there are no back doors to use, everyone hates using them, but when they have their own back doors to use, they all use their connections.
Isn't the point of making money and climbing the social ladder to live a life of freedom and happiness?
Neither of them had ever had a proper trip, but Shi's parents had been looking forward to it for a long time, making all sorts of travel plans every day.
Needless to say, Shi Qi hadn't left the province in over a decade, and she spent her days searching for fun places and delicious local specialties on Little Red Book.
