First High School’s principal office was extrely crowded.
Most colleges and universities across the country were clustered together, and admissions teachers from dozens of colleges and universities crowded the office.
Neither the Dean of Teaching nor the Principal could attend to all of them.
Finally, taking the ti to catch his breath, Principal Yu asked hurriedly, “Has Qiao Nian not co to school yet?”
Also very tired, the Dean shook his head. “She’s not in school.”
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a look of helplessness and said softly, “I told Teacher Shen, the teacher of Class A, to contact Qiao Nian. I said that if she’s here, she is to call and let know. I haven’t received a call yet, which ans she hasn’t arrived yet.”
He had thought about calling Qiao Nian to remind her, but he heard from the college admissions teachers who ca for her that Qiao Nian seed to have set up call interception, and unfamiliar phone numbers couldn’t make calls.
There was nothing he could do!
Principal Yu was silent for a mont, in his own mind. He raised his eyes and looked at a big group of people in the corridor outside the office. Then, he lowered his voice and said, “Do you know how many schools are here this ti?”
“I haven’t counted it. People from various schools have been coming here since the morning. I have spoken to at least 20 schools, and so of them were attended to by you. My rough gauge is that there are up to 30 or 40 colleges and universities!”
The Dean of Teaching was busy all morning. His back was sweaty, hot, and tired, but he also felt uncontrollable excitent.
Like the principal, he looked at the admission teachers chatting outside to check the information and lowered his voice. “Schools are still coming over even now, all first-tier institutions. C University, Zhejiang University, Nanjing University included… Basically, all the top 50 schools in the country have co. And the rest… I don’t think they’re uninterested. I suppose they didn’t co because they know their standards are not as competitive.
“It’s the first ti that our First High School has encountered such a situation, with hundreds of colleges and universities fighting over a student. I think Fu Ge’s case was not even this exaggerated when he ca in as the top scholar in Rao City back then.”
Fu Ge took first place in the city that year, and his total score was only ten points behind the provincial top scorer. At that ti, many schools also fought over him in First High School.
But it surely wasn’t a huge scene like this one.
Back then, perhaps there were seven or eight schools.
Qing University, Nanjing University, C University… the first-tier institutions had not co at that ti.
They were, at best, so of the better institutions nearby.
A couple of more outstanding ones ca every once in a while.
That alone caused a sensation at the ti, and other schools around the city were envious of them.
This ti, around 40 colleges and universities had co, and even the top five colleges in the country were here. If other schools knew about it, they’d be too envious for words.
The Dean of Teaching was also all smiles since such an outstanding student ca from his school. “This is the first ti I have witnessed this in my life. This is what it looks like when everyone fights over the top scorer of the College Entrance Examination, right?”
Principal Yu was holding a thermos cup in his hand. After a busy morning, he found an opportunity to unscrew the lid and drink a sip of water. When he heard what he said, he was scalded by the boiling water and held it away. “I don’t think even the national college entrance examination champion has this pomp!”
The Dean of Teaching turned his head and looked at him with bright eyes.
He straightened his back unconsciously and put the thermos cup to his mouth again. This ti he learned to be clever.. He blew and waited for the water to cool down before taking a tentative sip.
