“This student is very quick. Look at the Mathematics and General Science papers, they finished half an hour early. And there was still time for her to doodle on the scratch paper!” A professor picked up the scratch papers and sighed, “It’s a pretty good doodle. ”
“I suddenly feel that our art faculty might be a good fit. I should give the faculty head a call.” The one who spoke took a photo of the scratch paper and planned to send it to the art faculty.
But someone stopped him and said, “Are you still a professor! We are recommending students for interviews based on their grades, not their scratch paper?!”
This was a slap in the face to those who came up with the question paper! They had never thought that someone would actually get full marks! The answer was even better than the model answer.
There was still something they didn’t understand. The problems on the Mathematics and Physics exams were quite complicated. Didn’t this student need the scratch paper to come up with answers? But it was used as a doodling paper instead?
The staff room became quiet.
Someone said with a complicated expression, “Do any of you not want to have such a student? Let’s stop complaining.”
Everyone’s lips twitched. Just what happened with the examination this time!
A foreign professor asked in poor mandarin, “Which city does this student come from? Should we be prepared to go there for an interview?”
The teacher of Clearwater High School glanced at the student’s school name. “Ming City, I’ll give their admissions office a call to arrange something for us and we’ll start the interview in Ming City.”
Everyone agreed.
At half past three in the afternoon, there was still half an hour before the announcement of the national and provincial top students.
The secretary quickly walked into Lu Shangjin’s office. Feeling excited, she said, “Director Lu, we received news from the admissions office just now that the national top student is from Ming City!”
Upon hearing that, Lu Shangjin suddenly gripped his pen tightly and looked up. “Which school?”
The secretary said, “They didn’t mention the school. But it has already been confirmed that both the top scorer at Ming City High School and Experimental High School are tied. Could it be from other schools?”
Lu Shangjin didn’t answer, but there was a gleam in his eyes. The student who brought fear to teachers at the age of six was finally back!
The secretary laughed, “This time the top student in the country comes from Ming City. It’s such an honor for the city! A perfect score!”
It was ten minutes to four in the afternoon. During the exam there hadn’t been much interest in who the top student in the province would be but this time there was a top student who scored full marks and everyone was curious to know who it was.
Teachers who were not having classes were discussing it in the staffroom as they waited for the news.
In the General Science Department office.
“Hey, hey, hey, there’s news that the national top student is from Ming City!” a teacher said.
Luo Songhua frowned and looked over with a sharp glance. “In Ming City? How is that possible! There is no student in our schools who is capable of scoring full marks!”
If the national top student was really a student in Ming City then that meant that Gu Yin and Yi Chen were not the first!
The teacher was startled by Luo Songhua’s expression and said timidly, “My friend from the admissions office received a call from the capital’s education department saying that the national top student is in Ming City.”
“Is there some error?” someone asked. “Did you make the wrong call? There can’t be a student like that here. They have pretty much gone through all the papers already and there was no news of anyone scoring full marks.”
Luo Songhua’s face looked a little less displeased but she was still frowning.
“Oh, it’s going to be four o’clock soon. Let’s stop arguing and check out Weibo and we’ll find out who the student who scored full marks is, won’t we?” the teacher who spoke picked up the cell phone and opened up Weibo.
The other teachers nodded and went to check Weibo as well.
