1752 Gifted

The reason was very simple. They had heard that the college entrance examination papers would test the students on much more complex knowledge than what they learned in school. This was because the newly resumed college entrance examination was for the entire country. As long as one wanted to go to university, one could register for the examination. However, the number of people who could be admitted to each university was very few. If there were 500,000 people who took the college entrance examination, not more than 20,000 people would be able to enter university at the end.

Sixth High wanted to get first place in the rankings once the college entrance examination resumed. The local top scorer of the college entrance examination must be from their school. This represented the dignity and status of Sixth High!

After Wu Li finished telling the students what they needed to note during the examination, he started to distribute the test papers. The first subject was Chinese, which was a piece of cake for Qiao Mei. In her other life, she was the local top scorer in the sciences. Chinese was a compulsory subject and she had always been a top scorer.

It only took half an hour for Qiao Mei to finish most of the test paper, save for the essay. Wu Duo, who was sitting beside Qiao Mei, was stunned. He never imagined that someone would be able to answer the questions so fast.

Wu Li knocked gently on the blackboard and said, "No whispering! Look straight ahead! If I see you copying someone else's paper, I'll confiscate it and forfeit your results for the subject!"

Qiao Mei looked up to glance at the time and took a deep breath before starting to write her essay. She spent another 20 minutes on the essay. After confirming that she did not miss out on any questions, she slowly raised her hand.

"If you need to go to the toilet, try to endure it. Otherwise, you have to submit your paper first," Wu Li said as he looked at Qiao Mei.

"Sir, I've finished the paper. Can I submit it and go to the toilet?" Qiao Mei asked obediently.

After Qiao Mei finished speaking, everyone in the class raised their heads and looked at her in disbelief. However, after thinking about it, they quickly lowered their heads to continue doing their own test papers. Who said that the first person to submit the test paper must have completed it? Perhaps Qiao Mei was submitting a blank paper?

Wu Li slowly walked down from the podium. He felt almost the same way as everyone else. He thought that Qiao Mei was submitting a blank paper because she found the questions too difficult. The moment he took the test paper, his eyes widened. Although he was not a language teacher, he was familiar with the subject at high school level. He could tell that Qiao Mei had correctly answered most of the questions. Her final score would depend on how the language teacher graded the paper.

"Go ahead," Wu Li said sternly.

Qiao Mei walked slowly to the school toilet. Pregnant women needed to pee often, which was something she could not control. She could only finish her test paper quickly in order to go to the toilet.

After returning to class, Qiao Mei went to the podium to take the mathematics test paper. Wu Li stared intently at Qiao Mei because he was a mathematics teacher and also the person who came up with this test paper. The questions in this test paper were all questions that he found to be very difficult. Even a current year three student from Sixth High would find the questions very hard.

As usual, Qiao Mei flipped the paper open and glanced at all the questions first. If she had to compare the difficulty between this test paper and the ones she used to take in her other life, this paper's standard was equivalent to doing sums like one plus one would equal to two.

In her other life, Qiao Mei was the national Mathematical Olympiad champion! There were no questions that could stump her.

Just like when she was answering the Chinese test paper, Qiao Mei quickly whizzed through the mathematics paper. This time round, not only did Wu Duo look at her strangely, but even Wu Li looked at her in shock. After 40 minutes, Qiao Mei finished the mathematics paper. She had just looked up when she saw Wu Li walking towards her.

Qiao Mei obediently handed the paper to Wu Li. He looked through it seriously for a while and found that the answers were all correct! Qiao Mei did not even make any amendments to any of her answers! Even the rough paper used for calculations was full with neat handwriting. Here was a rare mathematics talent!

"Who is your teacher?" Wu Li asked as he looked at Qiao Mei excitedly.

"Me? My grandfather taught me at home. He is a retired soldier. In that case, I guess my grandfather is considered my teacher," Qiao Mei told him the truth.

If it was not through the guidance of a great teacher, then this child must be extremely talented!

Wu Li looked like he had just met his successor. He wished he could let Qiao Mei start school now. He wanted to teach Qiao Mei everything he knew about mathematics. As a teacher, if his own student surpassed him, it was something he could be proud of for the rest of his life.

Seeing that Wu Li was in a daze, Qiao Mei asked, "Sir, can I do the test for the next subject?"
