Chapter 257: First! First in the Nation!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The teachers weren’t very sure about the first student who achieved a perfect score. They all got their information by word of mouth. Information about this ‘first student’ was too limited. There was still room for doubt. Seeing that the conversation was straying away, someone cut into the conversation.
“Let’s not talk about the past. Who is the student with the perfect score now? I kind of want to know about this student. How high must the student’s IQ be to achieve a perfect score?!”
“Don’t they always announce the scholar’s names at 4pm? We should be able to know soon.”
“They gave the same exam for the entire country this time. As to which province produces the most outstanding scholars, exams alone are not enough for comparison.”
“Yeah. This time the first is the first in the entire country!”
…
Not only were the teachers talking about this, the classes were spreading it around too.
When Lu Yang saw the news, his expression was complicated. “This is sick! Perfect score? My score is half of this student’s!”
Fatty put his phone on the table silently and prayed sincerely. “In the future, I will pray before I take exams. May I be blessed to guess all the right answers.”
Chu Yao agreed. He followed Fatty and prayed.
“I think we should let this big boss pray.” Lu Yang nodded and pointed his chin at the big boss who was sleeping beside them. He lowered his voice. “She couldn’t even guess a single English question right. Do you believe that?”
Their Sister Mang had slept for the entire day.
Qin Yaozhi squinted. “Actually, I want to see this psycho… Ah, no. I mean, this academic god’s paper. What does a paper with a perfect score look like?”
Meng Jinyang and Shen Huan nodded. They wanted to know who this top student was as well.
…
Lu Shangjin was also very interested in this time’s exam results.
The secretary came in to deliver the documents and saw that his computer was on the page with news about the perfect score on the national joint exam. “Director Lu, are you also concerned about the results of the exam?”
Lu Shangjin sighed.
The secretary thought that Director-General Lu was having a headache from thinking of Young Master Lu’s grades and so he comforted him. “Director Lu, don’t worry too much about Young Master’s grades. I heard that he has made a lot of progress now and he can pass. Everything takes time.”
He was an infamous school bully in Ming City and a rich playboy. He could now pass his exams. When he heard that, he was really surprised.
“Do you think I’m worried about him?” Lu Shangjin took the document from his hand, glanced at it, and then he signed it. “I know what kind of student my son is. I don’t have to worry about his grades. He’s very safe.”
The secretary was speechless.
His niece was studying in Ming City High School as well. Speaking of “safe,” who could beat a student in scoring zeros for all the subjects…
Lu Shangjin handed him the document. “Help me ask around about who the student with the perfect score is.”
The secretary was confused. He found Director Lu’s reaction strange. He regained his senses and answered respectfully, “Yes.”
…
In the cordoned scoring room in the Capital City.
Inside were authorized teachers from Capital University Affiliated High School, Clearwater High School, and some of the best professors at top universities both locally and globally. They were all academic masters from all walks of life.
They all crowded around one student’s paper.
Chinese, 150. Mathematics, 150. English, 150. General Science, 300.
Perfect score! Full marks for all!
After a long period of silence, the teacher from Clearwater High School glanced at a group of people and asked, “This student submitted every subject paper with thirty minutes to spare?”
The limit for the national joint exams was thirty minutes early so as to ensure that the questions would not be leaked.
The teacher from Capital University Affiliated High School nodded. “We saw the surveillance cameras at the exam venue. Indeed, she submitted her work on the dot. Not a single second later.”
