259 Came in First in the University Entrance Examination
At this moment, in front of Li Chengqian’s house.
Wang Lingbo, who had already been promoted to the Head of the Education Bureau, and the Head of Tianyi City Education Bureau.
Wang Jianjia, who had already been promoted as the Principal of Tianyi High School, and the Vice Principal and other leaders of Tianyi High School.
There were also reporters from Tianyi City’s official media armed with their cameras.
Under the leadership of the estate manager, they had already gathered at Li Chengqian’s door.
Everyone’s faces were flushed with excitement.
Many of the residents who were taking a walk in the neighborhood came over curiously to watch the commotion when they saw such a large crowd gathered at Li Chengqian’s door.
“That’s the new Head of the Education Bureau, Wang Lingbo. Why is he here?” The people living in this neighborhood were either rich or noble. They knew many officials.
“It’s not just Wang Lingbo. All the leaders of the city’s Education Bureau are also here!” Someone recognized the other leaders in the crowd.
“I remember that this family has just moved in not long ago. Only the old couple live here. They look and dress very ordinary… Could it be that they’re some big shot?” Chen Li and Li Tianlan would wander around the district to kill time. When they did so, they were dressed ordinarily, so no one paid much attention to them.
“I’ll take a good look at what kind of person this old couple is later. How are they worthy of mobilizing the entire Education System to personally come to their doorstep.” Many people had this thought.
At this moment, the estate manager who was leading the way for Wang Lingbo and the others said with a smile, “Leader, this is Li Tianlan’s unit! Shall I go and ask them out for you now?”
“No need, no need. I’ll do it myself. This will show respect.” Wang Lingbo smiled and declined this suggestion. He solemnly adjusted his clothes and hair. With a kind smile on his face, he went to the door and pressed the doorbell.
…
In the villa, Li Chengqian’s family of three was having their meal.
“Son, you can’t finish earning all the money. Look at you. You just finished the university entrance examination. You didn’t rest and immediately went to the factory to do research! You were gone for more than ten days… You’re not allowed to do this in the future!” Chen Li said with a pained expression. Then, she picked up a large piece of chicken and placed it in Li Chengqian’s bowl.
“Okay, Mom! Yum, your cooking is the best!” Chen Li’s nagging did not make Li Chengqian impatient at all. Instead, he felt loved and he was all smiles. He was enjoying this nagging.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
“Who could it be at this time?” Chen Li stood up and glanced at the intercom system. Then, she saw the crowd of people on the screen and was shocked.
On closer look, she realized that Wang Lingbo was standing at the front of the crowd with a smile on his face.
Chen Li immediately recognized Wang Lingbo.
“Son, it’s your principal, Wang Lingbo. Why did he bring so many people to our house!” Chen Li was a little puzzled.
Li Tianlan also stood up and walked towards the door with Li Chengqian.
“Principal Wang, what are you guys doing?” Li Chengqian looked at the dense crowd and was also shocked. At a glance, there were probably more than a hundred people.
When Wang Lingbo saw Li Chengqian’s family come out, the smile on his face became even more brilliant.
He grabbed Li Chengqian’s hand and said loudly with excitement in his voice, “Li Chengqian, congratulations!”
“You scored 769 marks in the university entrance examination!”
“Your results are number one in Jinshan Province!”
“Number one in the country!”
“You’re this year’s top scorer in Jinshan Province!”
“You are also the top scorer of the university entrance examination this year!”
“Congratulations!”
After Wang Lingbo finished speaking, he let go of Li Chengqian’s hand and applauded!
Everyone who came also applauded hard to congratulate Li Chengqian.
When the onlookers heard what Wang Lingbo said, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“The top scorer of the university entrance examination! The top scorer in the country! How impressive!”
“The top scorer of the university entrance examination this year is actually from our neighborhood. It’s unbelievable! Our neighborhood is awesome!”
“Wait, 769 marks? Is this true? Isn’t the full score only 750 marks?”
“He scored 769 marks. This exceeded full marks? How is this possible!”
“Wang Lingbo might have made a mistake!”
“Wait, Wang Lingbo seemed to have said “Li Chengqian”?” Someone’s face was filled with disbelief.
Li Chengqian’s name was known by almost everyone in Tianyi!
“Li Chengqian is the top scorer of the university entrance examination!”
“Heavens, Li Chengqian actually lives in the same neighborhood as us!”
“The two people beside Li Chengqian should be his parents!”
“Heavens, if I had known that these two were Li Chengqian’s parents, I would have gone to chat with them every day and visit them.” Someone felt extremely regretful.
“I really didn’t expect these two people to be Li Chengqian’s parents. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll find an opportunity to chat with them.”
On Wang Lingbo’s signal, the applause stopped.
“Li Chengqian, you scored 749 marks in the exam. You have another 20 marks for the provincial medal for bravery! Therefore, your total score is 769 marks!” Wang Lingbo explained.
When the onlookers heard the explanation, they were enlightened. “I see!”
“Even without the bonus marks, Li Chengqian still scored 749 marks. He was only one mark away from scoring full marks. Li Chengqian is simply a genius. He’s really too amazing.”
“Awesome!”
“I wonder how he got this head. If only my son was half as smart as him!”
“If I had such a son, I would be willing to give up ten years of my life.”
“It’s really amazing.”
Everyone looked at Li Chengqian with admiration and envy.
“Mr. Li, Madam Chen! Thank you for nurturing such an outstanding child for the country!” As Wang Lingbo spoke, he shook hands with the smiling Li Tianlan and his wife.
“Li Chengqian’s results and achievements are the results of your continuous nurturing!” Wang Lingbo said with a smile.
Li Tianlan was beaming. He was overjoyed. He was usually a man of few words. Now that he was so excited, all the more he could only say, “Principal Wang, thank you. The credit goes to the school.”
Chen Li was a woman and was much more meticulous than Li Tianlan. When she heard that Li Chengqian had scored so well, she was especially happy. She was so excited that tears flowed down her face.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” When Li Chengqian saw this, he panicked and hurriedly pulled Chen Li.
“Son, I’m so happy. I’ve never been so happy in my life! Being able to see you grow up and become a talent makes me happier than anything else.” Chen Li smiled as she cried.
Li Chengqian walked over and hugged her.
“Li Chengqian, when Officer Shu Wen heard that you came in first in the university entrance examination, he was very happy. Because he was on a business trip, he asked me to congratulate you. He said that he would personally congratulate you after he is back.” Wang Lingbo spoke again after Chen Li composed herself, sending Li Chengqian greetings from Tianyi City’s most senior official.
Just then, Li Chengqian’s phone rang. He looked down and saw a message from Shu Wen. “Brother Li, congratulations!”
Right on the heels of that, a message from the head of the Provincial Police Bureau arrived. “Li Chengqian, good job. Congratulations.”
Thereafter, Li Chengqian’s phone kept ringing. Countless messages were sent to him.
Seniors, relatives, teachers, classmates, friends, colleagues, business partners, and so on sent their greetings immediately.
Academician Lin Qu, Academician Ji Cheng, and other academicians that Li Chengqian knew, as well as the president of Divine Dragon University, also sent messages to Li Chengqian to express their congratulations. In addition to congratulations, they invited Li Chengqian to enroll at their institutions.
Not long after, the bosses of Baidu, Tencent , and the various companies that had collaborations with Li Chengqian also messaged him.
The Chairman of the National Communications Company, Zhou Shaoyun, the CEO of the National Chip Company, Wang Yizhi, and so on all sent Li Chengqian their congratulations.
Everyone who knew the Divine Dragon Software Company also sent Li Chengqian their congratulations.
Li Chengqian’s phone was filled with congratulatory messages very quickly.
Wang Jianjia recorded the scene just now and sent it to the WeChat group of Grade 12 Class 5.
“Li Chengqian is number one in the country! 769 marks!”
In an instant, the entire chat group was buzzing with messages.
“Awesome Li! impressive!”
“I’m envious!”
“I’m so envious!”
“I’m turning green with envy.”
“He’s simply superhuman. After deducting the additional 20 marks from the provincial medal for bravery, Li Chengqian actually scored 749 marks! He was only one point away from scoring full marks. He’s a superhuman!”
“I can only look up to him!”
“Admiration!”
“Congratulations, Li Chengqian.”
“An unprecedented 769 marks. Li Chengqian’s name will be recorded in the university entrance examination hall of fame and will have a place in history.”
“A score that exceeds full marks. This is an unprecedented result!”
“Really, I’m stunned!”
“I really regret not taking the initiative to pursue Li Chengqian when I was in my first year of high school.”
In the class group chat, the boys were extremely envious.
As for the girls, while they were envious, many of them had regrets in their hearts. They were thinking how nice it would be if they had taken the initiative to pursue Li Chengqian in their first year of high school!
“I’ll forward the information to other classes and make them envious too!”
Some students shared the information to the group chats of other classes.
It caused many people to be extremely envious and jealous! They wished they were Li Chengqian.
“Your class has a Li Chengqian. It’s enough for you to brag about for the rest of your lives!”
“I’m so envious of you guys. You guys know Li Chengqian and are classmates with him. In the future, as long as it’s not too hard, you should be able to get a chance to work at the Divine Dragon Software Company.”
“These results are unprecedented! How impressive! Awesome!”
“If I were you, I would think of ways to cozy up to Li Chengqian. Any favor Li Chengqian tosses my way would be enough to enrich me for the rest of my life.”
