Chapter 131 High School Entrance Exam
Chapter 131 High School Entrance Exam
"Grandma, there are many fun places in the city, and lots of entertainment activities. Don't you like dancing? All the old ladies in the city dance in the square, it's so lively in the evenings."
"As for me, I've been training really well in boxing lately, and nobody dares to bully me. You just need to worry about whether I'll get hurt."
Lin Guiying and the others exchanged glances. Now that you mention it, it seems like going to high school in the city isn't so bad.
Lin Dayuan nodded first, "Okay, Xiaoxi, we'll go along with your wishes. Anyway, the staff at this store has stabilized, so I'm at ease leaving it to Erli."
Lin Guojun raised his hand to indicate, "I'm fine with it too, so I don't have to fight with Old Su for the bottle."
Lin Guiying glanced around and said, "Then I have no problem with it. Anyway, our family must be together."
In fact, Lin Xi didn't need to say so much. Once she made a decision, her family never objected.
Su Yushan was a little stunned when he received Lin Dayuan's call. They had already finished discussing it so quickly?
He felt a little sorry that Lin Xi did not choose Beijing, but it was good that she stayed in Danbei City, so he could take care of her for a while longer.
The Education Bureau responded even faster, setting the exam for the day after tomorrow.
On this day, Sulin Elementary School was deserted, as all the students were on holiday. Only Su Yushan's office was somewhat lively.
Several staff members were moving tables and chairs and checking equipment. This exam was very important; everything was up to standard, even more so than the high school entrance exam, and they had even prepared a video recorder.
Education Bureau Director Gong Ming smiled and said, "Xiao Dong, you're lucky. This kid almost went to Beijing."
"Director, Principal Su, we still need to handle this officially."
The middle-aged man was stern and serious, even looking somewhat fierce.
He is Dong Yongshu, the principal of Danbei No. 1 Middle School. He was a soldier and is known for his strictness and unapproachability.
This high school is also managed like a military school. Although there are many rules, the college entrance rate is as high as 90%, and even the worst students can get into a second-tier university.
Many parents want to send their children there, but if their grades aren't good enough, they simply won't accept them.
Trying to use connections? No way!
Threats? They're not afraid. Their connections are even stronger than yours. Bribes? They won't accept them. They might just send you straight to the police station.
Even the director of the Education Bureau, Gong Ming, didn't dare to send anyone in.
This has resulted in the most famous high school having less than half the number of students as other schools.
Su Yushan understood Dong Yongshu's high standards and didn't mind his aloofness. He smiled and said, "That's natural. However, I have a lot of confidence in my student and believe he won't disappoint you."
"I know she's excellent, let's see how she does in the end."
Dong Yongshu had heard of Lin Xi before; she was of good character and very intelligent. However, he never lacked students like her.
There are many such examples at Danbei No.1 Middle School.
He always only believed half of the news reports on television. Those reporters were masters of exaggeration, so they unconsciously lowered Lin Xi's standards by half.
Gong Ming knows Dong Yongshu best. Judging from his nonchalant attitude, he knows that Dong Yongshu doesn't take Lin Xi seriously. He believes that Dong Yongshu will soon be proven wrong.
Actually, he didn't know Lin Xi well, but he had read Lin Xi's notes. Those were not notes that ordinary people could summarize. Old Su even placed a big bet on these notes.
The staff finished setting up the venue. "Director, everything is ready."
"Well, you go back first."
Gong Ming looked up at the time; there were still fifteen minutes until the exam started. "Old Su, your student is really steady! If it were anyone else, they would have arrived half an hour early."
"Hehe, this exam is nothing more than a pop quiz for her."
Dong Yongshu remained silent, but his impression of Lin Xi worsened further; she was arrogant and conceited.
Su Yushan: Telling the truth isn't enough...
Lin Xi didn't take it seriously, and neither did the Lin family.
Lin Guiying waved a palm-leaf fan and asked, "Xiao Xi, are you full?"
Lin Xi let out a burp. "I'm full, Grandma."
"Here, take the water. Grandma won't go with you."
Lin Xi didn't take it seriously. "Hey, what's the point of going? It's too much trouble. I'll be back in a bit."
Inside the office.
Gong Ming kept checking the time, Dong Yongshu remained indifferent, and Su Yushan calmly sipped his tea.
There were three minutes left before the exam started when there was a knock on the door.
Su Yushan smiled knowingly, "Ahem, please come in."
"Principal, I'm here."
"Haha, okay, sit down."
Lin Xi glanced at the furnishings in the room and went straight to the table and chairs in the center, where paper and pens were already laid out and a video camera was set up in front of them.
Not far away stood a middle-aged man with graying temples, staring at her expressionlessly. When their eyes met, she greeted him politely, "Hello, teacher."
Dong Yongshu gave a faint "hmm".
Gong Mingci smiled and said, "Lin Xi, he is the principal of No. 1 Middle School. If you pass the exam, he will be your principal in the future."
Su Yushan also introduced, "Xiao Xi, he is the director of the Education Bureau."
Lin Xi was surprised that they would come in person, so she quickly stood up, bowed, and greeted them.
"Haha, sit down, the exam is about to start."
Gong Ming wanted to tell her not to be nervous, but seeing her relaxed and calm demeanor, he didn't say anything more.
A female teacher walked in, carrying a file folder. She opened it, placed the papers on Lin Xi's desk, glanced at her watch, and said, "Let's begin."
Without a moment's delay, Lin Xi immediately picked up her pen, glanced at the questions, and without any pause, wrote down the answers as smoothly as flowing water, as if she already knew the answers to these questions by heart.
Just kidding. I've been grinding through papers for another month after taking the Enlightenment Pill. Thinking for even a second longer would be an insult to myself and the system.
Five minutes later, Dong Yongshu could no longer sit still and got up to walk to Lin Xi's side.
He wanted to see how many questions he could answer correctly, given how fast he could answer.
The first question, no problem.
The second question is no problem.
The third question has no errors.
The fourth question is also correct.
……
His eyes widened, and his calm expression gradually disappeared, replaced by disbelief.
How is that possible? 100% accuracy?
If the test hadn't been prepared on short notice, he would have even thought that Lin Xi had memorized the answers beforehand.
Even more surprisingly, ten minutes later, Lin Xi put down her pen and said, "Teacher, hand in the paper."
Dong Yongshu looked up at the time: Fifteen minutes?
Can he finish answering in fifteen minutes? Yes, but he can't guarantee there won't be any mistakes.
Can my own students do that? No one can.
The stunned look on his face immediately turned into surprise; he had struck gold!
Su Yushan looked smug and proud. "Hmph, you looked down on Xiaoxi, didn't you? You got slapped in the face. You should be secretly happy that Xiaoxi can go to your school. Others would pray to gods and Buddhas for this."
Seeing that no one was collecting the papers, Lin Xi asked, "Teacher, I'm in a hurry, can I move on to the next subject now?"
The system is acting strangely again. Seeing that it has become smarter, it has changed its learning tasks to organizing one subject's junior high school notes and reading one hundred pages of extracurricular books every day.
He also needs to box, write novels, and learn hacking techniques.
She's really in a hurry!
