159: The results!

The results!

More than half a month passed by very quickly.

The day arrived in the blink of an eye, and all candidates of the examination were in a bundle of nerves.

Today, the college entrance examination results would be released.

Every year, this period of time would be extremely stressful for every high school in S city.

First came the days of the college entrance examinations, then the day of the results.

On this day, the first and second-year students weren't on vacation yet. In Shengyang High School, several teachers of the third-year students who were originally on vacation came back to the teaching building early in the morning.

The college entrance examination results would only be available at nine or ten o'clock. Unable to endure the wait, they sat in their office seats, trying to calm themselves.

Those more restless wandered around the office with a thermos cup.

Wang Zhongyan also came early. He held a teacup in his hand and was smiling merrily as always.

It was the college entrance examination results, after all, so other than all the teachers in the school nervously awaiting the results, even the first and second-year students were privately speculating this year's examination results.

Shengyang High School's teachers had made a bet on who would get first place.

The competition was basically between Qin Yan, Qin Muran, and Jing Zhao.

Majority bet on Qin Muran, while Jing Zhao had fewer bets. As for Qin Yan… she was too unpredictable.

The teachers who bet on her even hesitated a little.

"Teacher Wang, how did your student Qin Yan do in the exams this time?" At half-past eight, the teachers were chatting idly. Most of them were discussing the top students in Jixia Academy and Shengyang High School. "I heard that the Math and English exams were especially difficult. Many students cried when they left the exam room."

Wang Zhongyan's expression remained unchanged as he held his cup and smiled. "It was fine, she performed as normal."

This sentence made the other teachers feel the urge to beat him.

While they were talking, Lin Dongxu sat by the side himself. His lips were pursed as he stared in the direction of the computer.

At nine o'clock, the educational administration system was updated.

The results would be refreshed on the college entrance examination query system and would include rankings as well.

This year, Shengyang High School had a thousand candidates for the college entrance examination. It would take at least half an hour for the scores of so many to be retrieved from the system database and then ranked. Naturally, the headteachers couldn't wait.

Almost all of them were picking up their phones at the same time to call their favorite students.

After thinking about it, Wang Zhongyan took out his phone to call Qin Yan.

The phone rang twice before being connected.

"Old Wang?" Qin Yan climbed up from her bed and cleared her throat. "What's the matter?"

Her voice was very low.

Elder Su had sent some medicines over. With the medicines from him and Elder Tang, her hand injury had recovered very quickly and she had already removed the plaster a week ago. She had taken benefit of this and worked late till night about the matters of Starlight Entertainment.

As soon as Wang Zhongyan heard her slightly hoarse voice, he knew that she had just woken up. He was silent for a moment before asking, "… You do know that the college entrance examination results are released today, right?"

"Today?" Qin Yan squinted and remembered that today was the 23rd, the results day. "Oh, thanks, I'll check it later."

Wang Zhongyan was speechless.

Why aren't you checking now that you know?

He didn't know what else to say, so he just muttered, "… Okay, go back to sleep a little longer."

He didn't tell her to check her grades and then inform him after she woke.

For some reason, he felt like by the time she woke up, the school's grades would have already been tabulated.

Putting down his phone, he walked over to where a guy was processing the data.

"Old Wang, how did the students in your class do?" The other teachers also finished their phone calls, smiling widely. Their favorite students had obviously done well this time.

Glancing at the computer page, Wang Zhongyan shook his head. "I don't know, I couldn't find out."

Hearing this, they exchanged glances, wondering what he meant. "Why couldn't you find out? Were the results blocked?"

This was a possibility. Last year, the results of the college entrance examination topper in Jixia Academy couldn't be found. His headteacher had been so anxious until several major universities informed him that his results had been intercepted.

Wang Zhongyan remained silent and dared not say that Qin Yan was still sleeping.

This kid was too arrogant.

"Let's take a look at the results first." He pointed at the computer.

According to the statistics, most people's results had already been released.

It was a very long list. The technical guy refreshed the database according to grades. The top ten were basically students from the first three classes.

One or two students from class four were mixed in.

The data was displayed in order.

Chinese, Mathematics, English, Science Comprehensive/Arts Comprehensive, Total Score, Provincial Ranking, and School Ranking.

The bottom of Lin Dongxu's eyes was gloomy. In the past, none of the students in the top ten were from Wang Zhongyan's class, but now, two students from class four had mixed in.

Qin Yan, Qin Muran and Jing Zhao's results had yet to come out.

"Their results haven't come out?" At this time, the other high school students' results had already been inputted, all except for Qin Yan's, Qin Muran's and Jing Zhao's. The other teachers took the transcripts of their classes and glanced at the overview of their favorite pupils.

They had yet to study the other results.

They didn't leave the office either, and gathered around the computer, waiting for the three students' results.

"Not yet." The technician guy minimized the data on the excel sheet and returned to the first page. He refreshed the page, but their results were still not updated.

At this scene, the other teachers froze for a moment before concluding, "It seems like these students have performed really well this time."

Otherwise, why wouldn't their results be updated?

The headteacher of Class one Dong Yu, Lin Dongxu and Wang Zhongyan all were nervous.

Wang Zhongyan smiled calmly. "Maybe the system has delayed it."

Though he appeared calm on the surface, his hands were actually sweating.

"It seems like it won't be out for a while." A teacher returned to his seat, smiling. "Let's sit and wait."

They waited absentmindedly in the office.

Lin Dongxu pursed his lips and sat in the corner of the office with the report card, his emotions unpredictable as he waited for the three students' results.1

They waited for another ten minutes.

The staff refreshed the web page as usual and the page finally changed from "none" to a display of the results.

"It's out! The results are out!" The technical guy spoke quickly before even looking at it.

When the other teachers heard this, they stood up immediately and surrounded the computers.

It was Qin Muran's results.

Because it was a web page and not an Excel sheet, the results were displayed in a different format.

Chinese: 141.

Mathematics: 135.

English: 146.

Science Comprehensive: 277

Total Score: 719

Provincial Ranking: 5

The staff room fell into silence.

This year's papers were very difficult. Generally speaking, given the exam's difficulty, a score of 719 was enough to become the provincial top scorer.

Qin Muran was only fifth place, so how terrifying were the ones before her?

With so many high schools in the province, Qin Muran's achievement as the top ten scorers was considered a great accomplishment.

Lin Dongxu finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing this.

In previous years, Shengyang High School rarely had students who managed to squeeze into the provincial top ten scorers, much less the fifth place.

All the results of class three had already been released.

But Lin Dongxu didn't leave.

The technician guy then inputted Jing Zhao's examination number. As he pressed enter, the results were displayed on the screen. This time the teachers sucked in a cold breath.

Chinese: 145.

Mathematics: 146.

English: 150.

Science Comprehensive: 291

Total Score: 732

Provincial Ranking: 2

Even Lin Dongxu, who had come over to look in curiosity, had yet to react. Qin Muran's and Jing Zhao's results had always been about 20 points away from each other. But this time Jing Zhao had jumped up instantly. Both their results were almost the same, but Who knew that Jing Zhao would directly score full marks in English?

This time, the English paper was basically at the same level of difficulty as the Mathematics paper. Many people hadn't done well at the listening test, so how could Jing Zhao have scored full marks?
