Chapter 441 Zhong Manhua: Ying Yuexuan, how could you do this to me?! [3rd Update]
Ying Yuexuan's expression changed drastically, and she blurted out, "Mom!"
Without thinking, she rushed inside and was about to shut down the computer.
But halfway through, the hand abruptly stopped.
For many years, she had listened to Zhong Manhua. Zhong Manhua had a strong desire to control her, to the point that she felt almost suffocated.
Even in junior high school, Zhong Manhua decided what clothes she wore every day.
Things got a little better in high school, but Ying Yuexuan really didn't dare to disobey Zhong Manhua, even though she didn't want Zhong Manhua to see it.
Ying Yuexuan's ears were ringing; besides fear, she felt disbelief even more.
Her exam admission ticket was in her own pocket.
How did Zhong Manhua obtain her examination admission ticket number and candidate password?
"What's wrong with you?" Zhong Manhua stared at the computer, her tone much colder. "You can't even remember your own admission ticket number and candidate password. Luckily, I called your homeroom teacher, and he sent them to me."
Ying Yuexuan's palms were sweating, and she felt increasingly panicked.
She watched the webpage spin continuously, and then a pop-up window appeared.
My heart almost stopped beating the entire time.
[College entrance examination results are temporarily unavailable.]
Zhong Manhua frowned, clicked to refresh the webpage, and re-entered her admission ticket number and candidate password.
However, the webpage still displays the same message.
[College entrance examination results are temporarily unavailable.]
Ying Yuexuan breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Mom, there are too many people checking their grades at this time, the network is congested."
"Then let's wait a little longer." Zhong Manhua was also getting impatient, but she could only force herself to be patient. "The internet connection is unstable."
After waiting another ten minutes, Zhong Manhua started searching again.
This time, contrary to Ying Yuexuan's wishes, the results came out.
Name: Ying Yuexuan
Candidate Number: 1916xxxx2039
Chinese: 102
Mathematics: 87
English: 140
Combined Science: 206
Total score: 535
Citywide ranking: 18239
The college entrance examination results only have city and provincial rankings, not a national overall ranking.
Zhong Manhua simply couldn't believe what she was seeing.
She refreshed the page again and again, four times in total, but still got the same result.
The stark numbers "535" and "18239" stung her eyes.
Shanghai is a city with only one district, so the number of people taking the college entrance examination is less than that of a province.
The total number of students taking the college entrance examination this year is 60,000.
In recent years, the first-tier university admission rate in Shanghai has been higher than that in other provinces and cities, at 31%.
In other words, only 31% of all students taking the college entrance examination are able to get into a top-tier university.
Ying Yuexuan's ranking was just barely above the first-tier university admission line.
If the college admission rate is even slightly lower this year, it might not be possible to get into any university at all.
Watching from the side, Ying Yuexuan also felt her hands and feet turn cold.
535 points.
Let alone top universities, even getting into a first-tier university is difficult.
As for 985 universities, you need to score at least 100 points above the first-tier university admission line.
The admission scores for Imperial Capital University in previous years have consistently been above 695.
Every student in the Qingzhi Elite Class can get into Beijing University.
That's why they're called the strongest class.
Ying Yuexuan really didn't expect that she would do so poorly on the exam.
She had thought that she would score at least several dozen points above the first-tier university admission line.
Zhong Manhua felt her blood rushing to her head, and her chest felt tight and her head felt dizzy.
In a fit of extreme anger, she suddenly stood up, raised her hand, and slapped Ying Yuexuan across the face.
Ying Yuexuan's mind went blank for a moment; she was completely stunned.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhong Manhua never hit her, let alone scolded her.
Ying Yuexuan covered her face, trembling as she raised her head, her voice filled with disbelief: "...Mom?"
This time, however, Zhong Manhua showed no intention of comforting her.
Her gaze was icy, her voice sharp and almost hysterical: "Ying Yuexuan, how could you do this to me?!"
She had raised Ying Yuexuan for 18 years, waiting for the day of the college entrance examination, hoping that the Ying family could produce a top scorer and bring glory to the family.
Zhong Manhua holds traditional views; in her opinion, nothing is more important than the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
She had no intention of sending Ying Yuexuan abroad; at most, she would study abroad as an exchange student for a year or two.
It would be best to stay and develop your career in the country.
This sentence is utterly devastating.
Ying Yuexuan's face paled slightly.
“535,” Zhong Manhua said, laughing. “Ying Yuexuan, tell me, with this score, which university can you get into? Tell me!”
"Whether you can even get into a top-tier university is still uncertain!"
The eldest daughter of the Ying family couldn't even pass the entrance exam for a top-tier university, which made her a laughing stock.
She had lost all face.
Zhong Manhua was so angry that her chest heaved and her expression turned ashen.
"Mom, there's a good chance my grades are wrong." Ying Yuexuan knew that panicking wouldn't help, so she pursed her lips. "Mom, don't you know how I did in the mock exams?"
"Even if he really underperformed, it's impossible for his score to drop by two hundred points."
After hearing what she said, Zhong Manhua thought about it and also felt that it was possible.
But her expression didn't soften, and her tone remained cold: "Then go to school now and ask the teacher."

On Qingzhi's side.
Because Ying Zijing is still in the capital and cannot return at the moment, the dean of academic affairs made a video call to her.
In the video, the girl is sitting at a table with a huge floor-to-ceiling window behind her.
"Ying, what do you think of this?" The academic affairs director excitedly held up two banners for her to see. "If you don't like this one, how about this one?"
The academic affairs director's aesthetic sense is quite peculiar at Qingzhi Middle School, yet he also has a great passion for art and design.
He designed the certificates and trophies for many competitions, such as sports meets and arts festivals.
Once again, he designed a spiral trophy and made it a tan color.
The students at the school were left with no way to express their suffering because of him.
The principal already knew, so he asked several other teachers to prepare a few more banners.
Ying Zijing glanced at the red banners that were covered with yellow and white flowers: "..."
This isn't a banner; it's a funeral parlor.
The other one isn't much better.
Two large red embroidered balls were hanging above.
If you didn't know better, you'd think she was getting married in ancient times.
Ying Zijing paused for a moment, then pointed to a banner that the dean of academic affairs had deliberately placed far away: "I think that's fine."
That was prepared by the other teachers.
"Alright, fine." The dean of academic affairs reluctantly rolled up the banner he had carefully designed. "Take this one if you like it."
He picked up the banner that Ying Zijin had chosen: "Ying, which university are you planning to go to?"
Foreign universities generally do not consider Gaokao scores, but Ying Zijin is an exception.
With her performance at the ISC International Finals, universities all over the world would be begging her to apply.
Without hesitation, Ying Zijing said directly, "I'll go to Imperial University."
She watched Norton University being established and spent a long time there, finding it rather uninteresting.
She was afraid that if she went, the vice principal would urge her to teach the alchemy and astrology students.
Moreover, Norton has not returned to this day.
She tried to calculate it several more times, but still couldn't pinpoint Norton's exact location.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that there is no danger to his life.
Norton is arrogant and crazy, but he has never disappeared for this long.
Ying Zijin raised her hand and pressed her forehead.
“Going to Imperial University is a good idea,” the dean of academic affairs said. “Imperial University has developed really well in recent years. I’m going to put up a banner for you, Ying. We’ll have a banquet when you come back.”
After saying that, he ended the video call and happily went downstairs.
**
Twenty minutes later.
Zhong Manhua and Ying Yuexuan arrived at Qingzhi Middle School.
Besides them, there were also many parents and students.
After the college entrance examination results are released, it's time to fill out college application forms.
Qingzhi Middle School assigns dedicated college application advisors to students, who are responsible for helping them fill out their college applications based on their interests, personality, strengths, and weaknesses, thus preventing them from choosing the wrong major.
This has happened before, because the major applied for by the student was out of sync with the student's abilities, making it impossible to continue, and then the student dropped out and had to repeat a year.
However, these parents are currently gathered at the school gate and have not gone inside.
"Mom, look, look!" a girl excitedly grabbed her mother's hand. "Our top scorer in the college entrance examination!"
The girl's mother was astonished: "750 points? A perfect score! That's amazing!"
"That's right!" the girl exclaimed even more excitedly. "She's our motivation for studying. Mom, the reason I got 670 this time is because I can't let her down."
Zhong Manhua heard this and was also surprised.
This year's national exam was so difficult, how could anyone get a perfect score?
Who is so amazing?
Zhong Manhua stopped and curiously followed the group of parents to look over.
It was a huge banner, fluttering in the wind.
It's red and very eye-catching, with the lettering in gold foil.
It was right in front of Zhong Manhua, and she could see it at a glance.
Congratulations to Ying Zijin, a student from Class 19 of our school, for achieving a perfect score of 750 in the Shanghai College Entrance Examination and ranking first nationwide!
