Chapter 92 - College Entrance Exam Results

After Lin YaZhis call, Lin Qian received a call from Shao SiJia. He finally learned from her that Lin YaZhi had gifted him with the latest tablet computer and drew a family portrait using it.

Probably because she was so shocked at Lin YaZhis drawing skills, Shao SiJia saved the picture in her phone and sent it to Lin Qian using MMS.

The moment Lin Qian opened the message, he felt as if his heart had gone through a thorough wash.

Truly worthy of an artist who relied on emotion. Shao SiJias evaluation of Lin YaZhis skills didnt wrong him one bit.

There were four round heads, with two of them bareheaded and the other two with long stick hair. Lin Qian could guess who they represented. However, in the lower right corner of the picture, there were two circles that resembled bread rolls. No matter which angle Lin Qian viewed them, he couldnt figure it out.

In the end, Lin Qian gave up and asked Shao SiJia: Whats those two lumps on the bottom right corner?

Shao SiJia replied: Oh, thats the b.a.s.t.a.r.d and the little b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

Lin Qian: . Well, should he be glad that Lin YaZhi at least included the Zheng men to this family portrait?

After Lin Qian ended the call, Zheng PingQing calmly said: You spent the night with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, ah.

Lin Qian glanced at him, then smoothly replied: Un. Ah, maybe youll give

birth to a baby called BiXi later

!

Zheng PingQing: .

The little b.a.s.t.a.r.d who tried to take advantage was soundly defeated

Well, Zheng PingQing had never cared about his verbal sparring skills. However, practice was important, so Zheng PingQing pinched Lin Qians toe and said: Then lets increase the chance of pregnancy by doing it a couple more times in the next few days.

As they continued to bicker for a while, Lin Qians cellphone rang once more.

How can so many people know your birthday? Zheng PingQing, who was just about to drive a car, was unhappy.

Lin Qian seldom celebrated his birthday. Other than Xu Yao, there should be few people who even knew when Lin Qians birthday was.

Lin Qian used his foot to push Zheng PingQing away and said: In our last life, a lot of people knew my birthday too, ah. Its just that they didnt dare call me.

As a handsome man, who knew how many girls had overtly or covertly inquired about his birthday. But, wellLin Qian wasnt lying when he said most people didnt dare call to greet him on his birthday.

Zheng PingQing sourly said: Then hurry up and answer the phone so you can tell the caller that youre in bed with your boyfriend.

Lin Qian looked at the caller ID on the screen then replied: .its your father.

Zheng PingQing, this dog, replied: Let him know that were currently on the same bed, so he doesnt have any illusions about me.

Lin Qian ignored him and continued to push Zheng PingQing away with his foot. He answered the phone and said: Uncle, whats the matter?

Zheng BuLu greeted him: Ah Qian, Happy Birthday.

Lin Qian didnt expect Zheng BuLu to know his birthday. He couldnt help but smile and sincerely say: Thank you, uncle.

I wasnt sure what you liked, so I didnt prepare a gift. So just tell me what you want, and Ill buy it for you!

No, your call is already the best gift you couldve given me. Lin Qian replied.

Lin Qians words made Zheng BuLu relax. He said: Ah Qian, you really are a good boy.

Lin Qian replied: Well, Ill always be a good kid for you, as long as you dont object to my relations.h.i.+p with Zheng PingQing.

The other end of the call became silent. After a while, Zheng BuLu said: Truthfully, I was a bit unwilling beforeI hoped for PingQing to inherit my company, and his relations.h.i.+p with you would greatly affect this

Lin Qian didnt refute his words. He simply let out a light hum and said: I understand your concerns, but please believe us.

Zheng BuLu sighed and finally acquiesced. I checked his grades these past few months, and I have to say, it really surprised me.

Zheng BuLus voice became tinged with regret and remorse as the continued: From when he was small, I always thought that I had provided him with a good life. I didnt understand. I gave him the best of everything, but my son still somehow ended up being a hooligannow, I thinkmaybe you were the one who gave him what he actually wanted.

Lin Qian told him: Its not like that. You did a good job, its just that you didnt understand Zheng PingQings thoughts. But thats not your fault. Its just that everyones interpretation of a good life is different.

The call went silent once more. After a long pause, Zheng BuLu said: Thank you for understanding my intentions.

Lin Qian replied: The person who understands isnt me, but Zheng PingQing, ah.

Zheng BuLu shook his head. But you were the one who changed him. He wasnt like this before. He truly is different this year. As a father, Im genuinely glad to see this change in him. So if you give me a little more time, I think Ill be able to accept it.

I know you will. Lin Qians smiled. Thank you. This really is the best gift Ive received today.

Good Zheng BuLu was just about to hang up when he heard his sons roar.

No way! The best gift youve received today is obviously me! My father only has money, ah! Itd be impossible for him to give you a better gift!

Zheng BuLu: .

Lin Qians voice sounded out: Uncle said that he can accept our relations.h.i.+p.

But Zheng PingQing still refused to accept Lin Qians words. That can only be your second-best gift! Im your best gift!

Zheng BuLu: .

Zheng BuLu angrily yelled: Ah Qian! pa.s.s the phone to PingQing!

Zheng PingQing leaned towards Lin Qians cellphone and seriously told his father: Dad, your gift is perfect. Im very moved. Really.

Lin Qian kicked Zheng PingQing away and, with his voice still as gentle as a calm lake, said to Zheng BuLu: Uncle, dont worry. Ill teach him a good lesson.

Zheng BuLu: .

Why isnt Lin Qian his son, ah!

It was late August, and summer was coming to an end. The new semester hadnt yet begun, so it shouldve been a quiet day in No. 12 High School, but today, the campus grounds had never been so lively.

The college entrance examination results had been out for quite some time now, and the students had already received their admission notices for their chosen universities.

This year was No. 12 High Schools year.

In the past year, the grades of the No. 12 High School students had steadily increased, and this attracted the attention of the whole city. From time to time, teachers and students from other schools even doubted whether they were cheating. Even the committee in charge of the city-wide exams paid particular attention to all the No. 12 High School students just to prove their innocence. But despite all this, their rapid progress and rising grades made rumors rampant.

Some people were waiting for things to explode. After all, while it is somewhat possible to cheat in the city-wide exams, it was absolutely impossible to do anything shady in the college entrance exams. Many felt that the halo obtained by the No.12 High School seniors would be wholly beaten back to its original form during the college entrance exams.

But now, these rumors were gone.

The clouds were dispelled, and the sun shone through.

The results of the college entrance exams proved that No. 12 High Schools brilliance in the past year was all due to their own students efforts.

This year, No. 12 High School became a sensation in Rong City. They suppressed No. 1 High School in the college entrance exams, with 70% of their students able to go to top-tier universities and over 90% pa.s.sing the

undergraduate requirements

. It left a small portion of students with lackl.u.s.ter results, but the college entrance exams was a battle that many people were prepared to repeat. The students who barely failed were full of confidence as they waited for next years college entrance exams.

These kinds of results were something no school in Rong City had achieved in years.

After the college entrance exam results were released, No. 12 High School was on headlines almost every day.

Whats more, this year, with the gradual rise of smartphones, microblogging entered the public vision. This made No. 12 High Schools amazing results become one of the most popular searched topics on the internet. Its sensation level was no less than that of the famous XX High School incident that will eventually happen in the next year.

No. 12 High School being heavily reported on meant that its students were also reported on. It was a given that Lin Qian would be in the news for being the No. 1 student in Rong City, but surprisingly, several of the underachievers also received some fame.

No matter what the headline was, it was enough to give No. 12 High School great fame.

Initially, after the college entrance exams, the seniors would usually scatter and wouldnt be seen all together before graduation. However, this year was too monumental for No. 12 High School. In the end, the school decided to gather all their former senior students to hold a commendation a.s.sembly before the school started once more in September. This would not only commemorate their students achievements but would also incentivize the next generation of students to work hard.

After news of this a.s.sembly came out, many of the parents of these former senior students expressed a desire to attend.

For them, this year was a year of miracles. Whether their child was in the top cla.s.s or the bottom cla.s.s, all these parents witnessed their children change and achieve results that they didnt dare think or expect.

So on this day, with the exception of some parents who couldnt spare the time or simply didnt care much about their childs achievements, almost all of the parents showed up.

The venue of this commendation a.s.sembly was still in the school auditorium. The school auditorium hadnt been officially opened yet, but there was already a huge crowd of parents and students gathered outside. Everyone had a jubilant expression on their face, and there wasnt a single frown to be found.

It didnt matter whether they knew the person next to them. As long as they were standing together, they began a conversation. There wasnt a need to worry about finding topics to talk about either, because in a school setting, a parents favorite subject was their childs grades. Whats more, in a situation like this where they were partic.i.p.ating in a commendation a.s.sembly, everyone had endless things to say.

You may not believe this, but my child is in Cla.s.s 7, ah. Before, his grades were a total mess. But somehow, he incredibly pa.s.sed the undergraduate requirements! And by several points too.

I believe it, I believe it. My child is the same, ah. His grades were usually enough for an undergraduate course. My husband and I used to tell him that with a little bit of hard work, hed be able to get into a top-tier university. But any encouragement doesnt work, and my child, ahfor the last two years he hadnt improved. My husband and I thought it was hopeless. But guess what? Hes not the first child in our family to get into a top university!

My childsigh. She was originally in No. 10 High School. She used to play outside and skip school. But I had a job transfer last year, so my wife and I decided to move our daughter to No. 12 High School. It took a lot of effort to convince our daughter, but we really didnt expect that No. 12 would be this good of a school!

Ah, my little boy used to go to internet cafes and play games every day. But somehow, when he started his senior year, he gave up all his games and diligently did his homework. Sometimes, he even studies until midnight. The only way I could get him to stop was to physically drive him to bed!

One after the other, the proud parents talked about their childrens transformations. Their expressions were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with contented smiles, with some of them even crying.

Some of the parents still didnt know the reason for their childs sudden change. They asked: I was out of town last year, so I almost had a heart attack when I found out my daughter had a high enough score to attend a top-tier university. What exactly happened? Are the teachers in No. 12 that good?

As soon as this question asked, other parents gathered around to explain.

The teachers in No. 12 are conscientious and responsibly, but it wasnt solely due to them. It was mainly because of the tutoring group in the school.

Yes, yes, it was organized by the No. 1 student in the college entrance exams. His name is Lin Qian, right? I heard that Student Lin Qian is very charismatic. Hes not only smart, but he also has this kind of temperament that makes his peers listen to him. When he asked everyone to study, they all immediately immerse themselves in learning.

A parent was taken aback by this. Is there such a student?

There is. It was Li Gaos mother who answered this time. She had been in an excellent mood this past year, and the increase of her waistline was proof of this. She had long been converted into a brainless fan of Lin Qian. Li Gao, that bear child in my family, not only had bad grades but was a real hooligan. He used to bully his cla.s.smates and get into fights a lot, ah. But then Lin Qian transformed him into an obedient child. Now, not only does my son study hard, but he even helps out around the store. A few days ago, a customer even praised him for being so diligent, ah, I was so embarra.s.sed.

The same happened to my son. This was Guo DangLis mother. She and Li Gaos mother didnt really talk to each other before, mostly because they thought that the other partys child was the reason for their own childs delinquency. They had actually quarreled with each other several times in the past. However, in the last year, they not only reconciled but also become good friends. In fact, they came to the commendation a.s.sembly together. Guo DangLis mother explained: One year ago, I wouldve never dared to expect such results from my son, ah.

Guo DangLi had become the model child in their neighborhood and was often used by their neighbors to educate their own children. He had become the typical example of where theres a will, theres a way, and

a prodigal son

returned home is worth more than gold.

Among the group was a quiet middle-aged man. This was Zhang FanFans father. Like Zhang FanFan, he wasnt very good at speaking, but he still nodded along to the conversation.

Truthfully, it could be said that Zhang FanFans brain wasnt very bright. She studies hard, but her grades hadnt improved despite the work she put in. However, ever since she met Cla.s.smate Lin Qian and received the guidance of the tutoring group, her grades had risen. In fact, she even received an acceptance letter for a well-known undergraduate school and surprised everyone who used to say sarcastic remarks about her.

Then, according to you all, this Lin Qian is really amazing. The unaware parent was shocked at this revelation, but he also did a thumbs up. Doesnt this mean that if this top student had delinquent tendencies instead of a good moral character, he wouldve directly made the school into a triad?

The other parents: .

As they talked, a sudden commotion surged in the crowd. Someone exclaimed: Its Lin Qian!

Lin Qians arrived.

Li Gaos mother and Guo DangLis mother hurriedly turned towards the shouts.

Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing stepped past the school gate and attracted everyones eyes.

The couple: .

And they tried their best to be low-key, ah. Zheng BuLu had initially wanted the driver to drive them to the school gates in a luxury car, but Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing insisted on walking.

They could only blame themselves for being too incredible, ah.

After a year of friendly compet.i.tion towards drinking milk, the couples heights surpa.s.sed the original heights in their previous life. They originally already had relatively tall heights, but now, they stood out of any crowd.

In addition to this, their outstanding good looks and mature temperament made them both look striking no matter what they did. Like fireflies in the dark, they both attracted attention no matter the situation.

Whats more, one of the boys was the college entrance exams number one student who had been featured in all local media.

It was a kind of existence that everybody looked up to.

Boss Lin! Boss Zheng! Good morning!

Morning Boss Qian, Boss PingQing.

Good Morning, Bosses.

Compared to their parents, the students had deeper emotions towards the two men. They all rushed to greet them.

These were the men that brought them to glory, ah. After today, no one knew if they could ever meet these two bosses again. They all wanted to seize the opportunity to talk to them more.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zheng PingQing noted that the crowd was so dense that there might not even be a path for them to walk through. He held up a hand, then pressed his palm down.

The noisy students immediately quieted down.

Like Moses parting the sea, the densely packed students automatically retreated towards the left and right sides, separating to give the couple a wide path from the entrance to the auditorium.

Boss, please! Who knew which student shouted this.

Zheng PingQing nodded in satisfaction.

Lin Qian: When did he have the time to secretly train his cla.s.smates to do this?

The parents: .

The unaware parent from before was stunned. Are you sure he didnt turn the school into a triad?
