"Imperial University?" The second aunt didn’t seem surprised when she heard this, "It must be for Jinlan."
In the Ye Family, only Ye Jinlan was a student at Imperial University.
When Ye Shaohua’s mother, answering the phone, heard "Imperial University," she too thought of Ye Jinlan, but what the caller said next stunned her completely.
"Are you the mother of Ye Shaohua? I’m the Principal of Imperial University. Here’s the thing. We sincerely invite Ye Shaohua to study at Imperial University. Tuition will be free, and we will also reward her with five hundred thousand. Please pass on the message to her that if she is willing, she can call me back. We will be waiting for your call."
Because Ye Shaohua did not have a mobile phone at the time, the contact information on her records was that of her father and mother.
Ye Shaohua’s mother had never imagined receiving a call from the Principal of Imperial University.
And even less so, one that was inviting Ye Shaohua to study there.
She mechanically said a sentence, and then the other person said goodbye and hung up.
"Why would the Principal of Imperial University call you?" Lady Tian who was closer to Ye’s mother had overheard a bit of the Principal’s words, but wasn’t clear on the details, "What’s this about a reward of five hundred thousand?"
"He was asking if Shaohua would like to go to Imperial University, saying that if Shaohua went, they would waive the tuition and even reward her with five hundred thousand," Ye’s mother repeated mechanically as if in a daze.
After she said this, Tian Yu’s head jerked suddenly.
And the chatter that had filled the living room just moments ago stopped instantly.
The second aunt muttered in shock, "What?!"
Yet before they could fully grasp what was happening, Ye’s mother’s phone rang again, this time it was from S City.
"Quick, turn on the speaker," the second aunt immediately said.
Ye’s mother pressed the green call button, then the speaker, and the voice from the other end came through.
Vastly polite.
"Hello, I am Professor Li from S University. I was wondering if your child, Ye Shaohua, would be willing to study at our S University..."
This time with the speaker on, there was no need for Ye’s mother to repeat anything; everyone present in the living room heard it for themselves.
The second aunt gasped in astonishment, knowing that S University was no less prestigious than Imperial University. She had initially wondered if Ye’s mother had received a scam call when told about the invitation from Imperial University to Ye Shaohua.
But then, to her disbelief, S University was on the line immediately afterward.
They used their official numbers, which could be verified online.
After hanging up with S University, prestigious schools from Port City also started calling one after another.
Lady Tian and the others who were about to leave now stayed, watching Ye’s mother fielding one call after another.
"Just how many points did your Shaohua score?" The second aunt blurted out her urgency after Ye’s mother hung up the Port City call, "Why would so many top universities be phoning? Could she be the one who came first in the city? You must quickly check her score."
She had thought that Ye Jinlan was the most impressive of the Ye Family, but out of nowhere, Ye Shaohua emerged as the dark horse nobody saw coming!
"Quick, answer it!" The second aunt was more anxious than Ye’s mother herself, "Turn on the speaker."
"It’s An City High School," Ye’s mother originally thought it might be another university calling, but it turned out to be from An City High School, a number she recognized.
The caller was the Principal of An City No.1 High School, with the purpose of sharing the good news with Ye’s parents.
"You must have heard the news already, right? Ye Shaohua has earned the title of Number One Scholar of the city," the Principal of An City High School held the office phone with great excitement, "The exam scores have just been printed. Ye student scored full marks in Mathematics, English, and the Science comprehensive. Not just the City Number One Scholar, she also achieved the Provincial Number One Scholar with a score of 757 points! She has brought honor to our school and our city!"
The Principal could hardly believe the scores when he first saw them, 757 points! freēwēbηovel.c૦m
After the college entrance exam, the school had received the test papers, and the high school teachers told him that the final math problem was of a difficulty only found in math competitions, so complex that even they couldn’t solve it without looking at the solution.
This year’s math exam had sparked online discussions about its difficulty immediately after completion.
And yet, Ye Shaohua had scored full marks in math!
The Principal, doubting the veracity of the results, had to check again before accepting that Ye Shaohua had indeed attained such an extraordinary score.
Provincial Number One Scholar! Their school had never produced a Provincial Number One Scholar before!
The Principal, with this thought in mind, continued, "I wanted to call and let you know, reporters are already rushing to the school. Prepare yourselves, they will also want to visit Ye student’s home environment. She scored 25 points more than the second-highest scorer, creating quite the sensation. There will be reporters from the Provincial City as well. Just the city and province news channels will interview her, so don’t panic. Get ready first."
Ye’s mother, holding the phone, was completely unable to react.
Upon hearing about the Provincial Number One Scholar and that reporters from the province were coming for interviews, the second aunt’s legs went weak.
