Chapter 429 - Embarrassing, So Embarrassing
“It’s not the monthly examination.” He crossed his legs, put his cell phone on the table, and said irritably, “She tried the independent enrollment examination for Qing University. I heard from her friends that she was in a bad state the night before and might not have done well. I was wondering how to comfort her when she comes back.”
The manager was surprised and said, “She’s going to Qing University? Her grades must be really good.”
Jiang Li was speechless.
Qiao Nian’s grades were not very good. Most people assumed that students going to Qing University all had good grades. But in Nian Nian’s case, it was less about her grades and more about her confidence!
Seeing that Jiang Li didn’t reply, the manager touched his nose and asked awkwardly, “How many marks did she get?”
Jiang Li said, “She hasn’t replied to me yet. I think she probably scored poorly and doesn’t want to tell me about it.”
The manager thought for a while, then raised his eyes and said, “If her results are around the average, I think you can encourage her and tell her to work harder the next time around. But if her grades are too poor, I advise you to have a good talk with her. She can aim for a different school in the College Entrance Examination. There’s no need to harp over a single school too much.”
“If only she listened to me.” Jiang Li was upset and wanted to stop talking. He took out his cell phone and checked for new messages.
At this moment, he received a message from Qiao Nian.
Jiang Li opened his message and casually took a look. After taking a glance, his face suddenly changed. He had completely forgotten that the hairstylist was still working his hair. He stood up with the cell phone in his hands and shouted loudly, “Oh my goodness!”
He felt like he was seeing things!
650?
“What’s the matter with you? Did your sister reply? How many marks did she get?” Seeing his reaction, the manager leaned over and took the cell phone out of his hands. He said, “She can’t have scored zero, right?”
He then saw the screenshot Qiao Nian sent.
[Language: 100
Mathematics: 100
English: 100
Liberal arts and sciences: 350
Total marks: 650
Student name: Qiao Nian
Ranking: 1]
Full marks?
The manager stared at the screenshot and was speechless for a long time, before finally saying, “Jiang Li, how can you say she scored badly? If this is considered bad, then no one would be able to say that they did well!”
He thought about his daughter who only scored 80 marks in primary school but still came back home smiling. If scores like this need comforting, then he would need to comfort his daughter even more!
The manager almost cried out.
Bitter!
He was feeling really bitter!
If there were no one to compare to, he wouldn’t feel so bitter. But at this moment, life was too hard!
“Even Rao City’s top scorer from last year cannot be compared to her. She’s the provincial number one. No, if this was the College Entrance Examination, your sister would be the number one in the country.”
The main point was this result. He even advised him to tell her to change her choices of schools!
He was so embarrassed!
The manager couldn’t understand his swirling feelings. He silently looked at the name on the screenshot again.
Qiao Nian.
Inside, he thought to himself that the number one in Rao City had already been decided!
After Qiao Nian replied to Jiang Li’s message, she didn’t check her cell phone again. She put it aside, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
She would need to go to Qing University for an interview tomorrow.
Ye Wangchuan got up early the next morning and sent her to school. It seemed as though there was something wrong. He briefly spoke to her and then left hurriedly with Gu San.
Qiao Nian didn’t really care too much. She was used to being alone. She didn’t feel the need to have someone accompany her to the interview.
She only checked her scores out of convenience last night, since Jiang Li asked her about it. Except for her language grade being out of her expectations, the marks for the rest of her subjects were within her expectations.
Number one.
As long as she did well for the interview, she could choose any major she liked.
