Chapter 264: College Entrance Examination Results

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

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

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

On the 23rd, the first and second-year students weren’t on vacation yet. In Heng Chuan First Middle 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.

Gao Yang 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.

Heng Chuan First Middle School’s teachers had made a bet on who would get first place.

The competition was basically between Qin Ran, Pan Mingyue, and Xu Yaoguang.

Majority bet on Xu Yaoguang, while Pan Mingyue had fewer bets. As for Qin Ran... she was too unpredictable, especially with her Physics. None of the teachers had seen her have a breakthrough in her Physics results.

The teachers who bet on her even hesitated a little.

“Teacher Gao, how did your student Qin Ran do in the exams this time?” At half-past eight, the teachers were chatting idly. Most of them were discussing the top students in Heng Chuan and Yun Cheng First Middle School. “I heard that the Math and English exams were especially difficult. Many students cried when they left the exam room.”

Gao Yang’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, Li Airong sat by the side herself. Her lips were pursed as she 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, Heng Chuan First Middle 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, Gao Yang took out his phone to call Qin Ran.

The phone rang twice before being connected.

“Old Gao?” Qin Ran climbed up from her bed and cleared her throat. “What’s the matter?”

Her voice was very low.

Cheng Juan had asked his teacher to send some medicines over. With the medicines from him and the medical organization, her hand injury had recovered very quickly and she had already removed the plaster a week ago. Last night, she even played games with Lu Zhaoying and Qiao Sheng until four o’clock in the morning. They had only been willing to stop reluctantly after Qiao Sheng reached the Supreme level with two stars.

As soon as Gao Yang 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 Ran squinted and remembered that today was the 23rd, the results day. “Oh, thanks, I’ll check it later.”

Gao Yang 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 Gao, 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, Gao Yang 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 Song Luting’s college entrance examination results in Yun Cheng First Middle School couldn’t be found. His headteacher had been so anxious until several major universities informed him that his results had been intercepted.

Gao Yang remained silent and dared not say that Qin Ran 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 class 3.1.

One or two students from class 3.9 were mixed in.

The data was displayed in order.

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

Pan Mingyue was ranked first at this time.

141, 135, 146, 277, 719, 5, 1.

Due to her bonus point policy, her final total score was 719.

This bonus point policy was really terrifying. She had bridged a gap of 20 points all of a sudden.

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.

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

With so many high schools in the province, Pan Mingyue’s achievement as the top ten scorers was considered a great accomplishment.

Li Airong finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing this.

In previous years, Heng Chuan First Middle School rarely had students who managed to squeeze into the provincial top ten scorers, much less the fifth place.

But the bottom of Li Airong’s eyes was still gloomy. In the past, other than Xu Yaoguang, all the top ten students had been students from her class, but now, two students from class 3.9 had mixed in.

Lin Siran and Xiang Wanzhou were sixth and seventh place respectively.

Most importantly, Qin Ran and Xu Yaoguang’s results had yet to come out. No one knew how much Qin Ran was going to score in Physics, but it was certainly no problem for her to enter the top ten scorers in school.

“Their results haven’t come out?” At this time, the other high school students’ results had already been inputted, all except for Qin Ran’s and Xu Yaoguang’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 Qin Ran’s and Xu Yaoguang’s 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 looking at Gao Yang. “Teacher Gao, it seems like both your students have performed well this time.”

Otherwise, why wouldn’t their results be updated?

Gao Yang 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 all faintly felt that Qin Ran’s Physics results really might be good.

They waited absentmindedly in the office.

All the results of class 3.1 had already been released.

But Li Airong didn’t leave either. She saw the results of Meng Xinran, who was in the last place. All her scores were zero, and her ranking was more than 400,000th place in the province.

She pursed her lips and sat in the corner of the office with the report card, her emotions unpredictable as she waited for Qin Ran’s and Xu Yaoguang’s results.

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 Xu Yaoguang’s results.

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

Chinese: 145.

Mathematics: 146.

English: 150.

Science Comprehensive: 291

Total Score: 732

Provincial Ranking: 2

There was silence in the staff room.

Even Li Airong, who had come over to look in curiosity, had yet to react. Pan Mingyue’s and Xu Yaoguang’s results had always been about 20 points away from each other, but because of the bonus points, Pan Mingyue’s results were basically the same as Xu Yaoguang’s.

Who knew that Xu Yaoguang 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 Xu Yaoguang have scored full marks?

The other teachers gave Gao Yang a dumbfounded look and murmured, “Teacher Gao, he’s the provincial second-place, your class...”

Gao Yang wasn’t very surprised. During the class gathering, Xu Yaoguang had also estimated that his score would be between 725 to 735.

But the ranking had really shocked him.

Xu Yaoguang didn’t have bonus points like Pan Mingyue and had scored 732 with his own abilities. Gao Yang felt like even he himself wouldn’t be able to score 146 in Mathematics.

He wasn’t at all surprised that his results had been intercepted by major universities.

“Qin Ran, Qin Ran’s results are left!” The teachers surrounding the computer finally reacted.

At the thought of how Qin Ran’s results were still detained, they urged the technical guy to quickly retrieve her results.

The technical guy finally reacted. “Oh!”

In a flurry, he opened another web page with shaking hands and refreshed it.

Everyone stared at the computer page without blinking.
