Chapter 921: 226: Science Top Scholar! Crushing Scum in Progress!
A truckload of firecrackers?
Ni Yang said with a smile, "Grandpa, you’re really exaggerating, aren’t you?"
Old Master Zheng laughed, "Not at all, not one bit exaggerated. I didn’t do well when I took the college entrance exam." Thinking back on those days, Old Master Zheng still felt some regret.
After dinner, Old Master Zheng took Little Ni Yun to clear the land.
Old Lady Zheng and Old Lady Shangguan chatted in the yard and, if they found the conversation dull, they’d go together to visit Grandma Liu.
Shangguan Dehui went off to work at the school.
As for Ni Cuihua, she kept herself busy with her own business.
Though a lot had happened, Ni Cuihua never gave up on her spicy strip business.
She had now earned fifty thousand yuan from selling the spicy strips.
Fifty thousand yuan might not be much to the Zheng Family or the Shangguan Family, but to ordinary people, it was a considerable fortune!
With this fifty thousand yuan, Ni Cuihua planned to start her own food factory and expand her business further!
She had no desire to be a full-time housewife.
Right then, Ni Cuihua was carrying her documents to the bureau to apply for a health permit, eager to get the factory business settled as soon as possible.
Time flew by quickly.
Before they knew it, the day to check exam results had arrived.
Both Ni Cuihua and Shangguan Dehui thought of Ni Yang going to the school to check her results. Ni Yang felt that checking results was a simple matter, and there was no need to make a fuss. The classroom was only so big—if every parent went along, there simply wouldn’t be room to stand.
It was not appropriate to wear a cheongsam to school, so Ni Yang chose a white mandarin-collar blouse cinched at the waist, black wide-leg pants, white sneakers, casually pulled her long hair into a bun, hopped on her bicycle, and set off.
In this era, parents took their children’s academic performance very seriously, so there were quite a few parents accompanying their children to check their results today, but they were all waiting outside the school gate.
"Yangyang!" Han Xiaoyu had been waiting at the school entrance for a long time and was particularly excited to see Ni Yang.
"Xiaoyu." Ni Yang jogged over.
"Yangyang, your outfit is really pretty, even prettier than a cheongsam!" Han Xiaoyu took Ni Yang’s hand and looked her over from top to bottom, left to right.
Ni Yang smiled, "I just picked it up casually. By the way, has the cutoff score been released?"
Han Xiaoyu nodded, "The cutoff scores are out. The first-tier universities cutoff is 588, second-tier is 525, third-tier is 460, and the college cutoff is 355. And the key 211 and 985 universities start at 600 points. Oh, I heard our school has a runner-up in the science stream!"
"Really?" Ni Yang raised her eyebrows slightly, "Which class?"
Han Xiaoyu nodded, "Really, it’s someone from class four, I think. There’s a huge banner hung up near class four’s building! They say he scored over 600!"
Han Xiaoyu was disappointed as she talked about it.
She had assumed that with Ni Yang’s strong performance, she should have at least become the valedictorian or something.
But surprisingly, there was not even the slightest buzz about her; instead, someone from class four emerged as the runner-up.
It was very strange!
The two walked on hand in hand. Just then, a boy wearing the school uniform approached them.
"Ni Yang!"
Ni Yang looked up slightly, "Li Wei?"
Li Wei nodded, "Ni Yang, have you checked your results?"
Ni Yang shook her head lightly, "Not yet."
Li Wei wore a small red flower on his chest, his face unable to hide his excitement, "I scored 608 this time, and our class teacher notified me a day in advance! Has your class teacher not told you your results yet?"
"You’re the runner-up?" Ni Yang asked.
Li Wei nodded excitedly, "Yes!"
Indeed, choosing to retake a year was the right decision! Last year he only scored over five hundred, but this year he scored over six hundred, becoming the city’s runner-up!
From Ni Yang’s expression, he could tell that she hadn’t done as well as him!
Because teachers would generally notify students who did well in advance.
Li Wei had never felt such a sense of superiority in front of Ni Yang as he did at that moment!
He was the city’s runner-up, after all!
No matter how calm Ni Yang appeared, he thought she must be admiring him to death inside!
"Congratulations," Ni Yang’s expression remained unchanged.
Li Wei continued, "Ni Yang, if you didn’t do well, don’t be discouraged. It’s quite an achievement for a girl to get into a college! With your grades, getting into a college should be no problem!"
"Mhm," Ni Yang nodded.
Just as Li Wei was about to say more, Qian Jinfeng ran over from the side, "Xiaowei! What are you doing chatting with her here for? There’s a bunch of journalists waiting outside the school to interview you!"
