Chapter 265: Provincial First and Second Place in the Same Class!
Chapter 265: Provincial First and Second Place in the Same Class!
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
The teachers in the staff room gaped at the computer screen in astonishment.
Including Li Airong.
"Old Gao, how many points do you think Qin Ran scored this time?" someone asked.
Gao Yang didn't know how she would perform in her Physics paper.
Physics was so difficult this time. Xu Yaoguang had only scored 292 in Science Comprehensive, and Pan Mingyue hadn't even exceeded 280 points. Gao Yang pondered for a moment before saying, "I guess about the same as Xu Yaoguang?"
He cautiously estimated that she would probably score around 730. Otherwise, her results wouldn't have been intercepted.
Her Physics result was probably not too bad.
"Those two in your class..." There was a moment of silence, and Gao Yang didn't brag either. The teacher beside him continued speaking, "Are they trying to take the top three spots?"
Obtaining a score of 730 without any bonus points wasn't something ordinary people could achieve.
As soon as he finished saying this, a line of results was displayed on the computer page.
Candidate: Qin Ran.
Chinese: 147.
3
Mathematics: 150.
English: 150.
Science Comprehensive: 300.
Total Scores: 747.
Provincial Ranking: 1.

There was silence in the staff room.
Even Gao Yang had yet to react. Everyone in the office had been startled to see Xu Yaoguang's grades, but their eyes widened in shock at Qin Ran's results. Nobody was even teasing Gao Yang anymore, and the person who just spoke stuttered faintly. "Teacher Gao, did you say... 730?"
What the hell, 730??
Gao Yang was also gaping and speechless. His hands hung on both sides and shook.
1
He had just overestimated his favorite pupil, but who knew that she would drop a bombshell on him!
1
Other than Chinese, she had scored full marks!
The provincial first-place, second-place, and fifth-place had all appeared in the same school. The provincial first- and second-places were even from the same class and had scored 747 and 732 respectively without any bonus points. Everyone could predict that...
Heng Chuan First Middle School was going to be all the rage.
Li Airong also held the transcript of her class in her hand and basically knew all the provincial rankings based on their scores.
Out of 60 students in their class, excluding Meng Xinran, all 59 of them had entered the top 70,000 scorers in the province. According to the previous score ratio, the top 70,000 could reach the admission cutoff.
Among them, the top 20 scorers in the class had reached the top 10,000 in the province and had also scored 100 points higher than the cutoff, so it wouldn't be a problem getting into top universities. After all, class 3.1 was where top students gathered.
As an English teacher, she looked at their English results next.
The questions on the college entrance examination paper this time had been very difficult, and even Li Airong herself wasn't sure if she would be trapped by the listening comprehension's tricky questions. Pan Mingyue's score of 146 had been very unexpected. The second place in the class had only scored 132 in English!
Only ten students surpassed 120 points.
But Xu Yaoguang and Qin Ran had scored 150?!
1
The total scores of these two people were far from what she had estimated. The teachers in the school had always pitched the three against one another, but without her bonus points, Pan Mingyue's results simply couldn't match up to the other two!
Li Airong ran over to the computer and stared at the results recorded, in a daze.
She didn't want the other teachers to see her expression.
There was only one thought reverberating in her mind... This time, she didn't even have one strand of hope left.
The provincial first- and second-places were both in class 3.9. Their provincial fifth-place in class 3.1 was simply not enough...
2
Forget about the Excellent Teacher Award, the Academic Affairs Office still remembered the incident last year and was waiting to punish her after the college entrance examination.
Gao Yang didn't care about what other people thought. Now that his class results had all been tabulated, he asked the technical guy to type out the scores of class 3.9.
As for the individual subject scores, he would sort them out and send them to each subject teacher.
The other teachers gathered around to see class 3.9's results.
They exchanged glances.
"Teacher Gao, in your class... the top five are all within the 1000th place in the province?"
In the province, Lin Siran was 91st, Xiang Wenzhou 95th, and Qiao Sheng 181st.
2
Not to mention the top five, the other students had also scored well.
According to the estimate of the ratio of 400,000 candidates, 20 students from Gao Yang's class had reached the provincial cutoff. Although this ratio wasn't a big deal for class 3.1, but for class 3.9... a normal class...
Gao Yang glanced behind, his face filled with increasing joy. He was really happy for the students in his class.

Listening to the words of the teacher next to him, he smiled and replied, "It's all thanks to classmate Qin Ran. She left a lot of notes for the students in class 3.1. I heard that there were some notes from Song Luting too, do you know him? He's the nation's top scorer of last year's exam. The guys in class 3.9 play hard and work hard too, so I'm very proud of them for achieving this result."
1
The other teachers lost their tempers after hearing his remark.
How could they not know Song Luting?
When the nation's top scorer had appeared from Yun Cheng First Middle School, all major news outlets had reported extensively on it. Yun Cheng First Middle School was very proud of it. Who would have expected the top scorers of last year and this year to know each other?
Gao Yang was really lucky. He just randomly picked up a school dreg and was now experiencing this good fortune?
The other teachers didn't even have such a resolution and luck.
The headteachers were very concerned about the results of the class, and although they hadn't been as sharp-tongued as Li Airong, they had still been very reluctant about accepting a student who not only dragged the class down but was also notorious for her misdeeds.
Standing alone in the corner, Li Airong's guts were twisting in her stomach. If Principal Xu hadn't sent Qin Ran to her back then, she wouldn't be so depressed now.
But Principal Xu had wanted to put Qin Ran in their class at the very beginning, only for Li Airong to push her out personally. Half a year ago, she had even given herself the excuse that Qin Ran might not score well in Physics as a means to paralyze herself, but now, her fists were clenched so tightly that the palms of her hands were almost bleeding...
After Qin Ran and Xu Yaoguang's results were updated, the phone of the Academic Affairs Office of Heng Chuan First Middle School exploded.
At this time, Qin Ran! Provincial first place! 747! Explosive propaganda in major high schools and media in the province!

In Yun Cheng.
After hanging up the phone with Gao Yang, Qin Ran slept for a while before getting up.
Near July, the weather wasn't particularly hot, but it was definitely not cold either. She took a shower and changed into a white T-shirt.
When she woke up, she forgot to check her results and simply went downstairs.
"Miss Qin, are you up?" Shi Liming was talking to the servant downstairs when he saw Qin Ran. He turned around and said, "Boss has gone out with Butler Cheng to pick him up."
The servant immediately went to the kitchen to bring out her warm breakfast on a stove.
"Pick him up?" Qin Ran sat down at the dining table and thanked the servant before glancing at Shi Liming.
What important person needed them to pick him up personally?
Shi Liming scratched his head and shook his head. "I don't know. They didn't say."
Propping her legs up, she slowly ate breakfast and stopped asking further.
"Qin Ran, why are you up so early?" Upstairs, Lu Zhaoying yawned and came down, still wearing his pajamas. "Are we still playing later?"
At the thought of this, he looked at Qin Ran with shining eyes. "I want to get three stars on the Supreme level too."
She glanced at him and said faintly, "Let's talk about it later."
Lu Zhaoying went to find Qiao Sheng with his phone.
He wanted to ask if he wanted to play games.
Qiao Sheng always responded immediately in the past.
But today, he didn't reply even after a long time and seemed to be caught up in something.
"Spicy chicken..." Lu Zhaoying murmured.
While talking to Lu Zhaoying about the game, she forgot that Gao Yang had told her to check her results.
At the same time, inside a limousine not far from the gate.
Cheng Mu was driving while Cheng Juan sat in the passenger seat. There was a row of chairs behind, and Butler Cheng and Old Master Cheng sat a row back.
Taking out a notebook, Butler Cheng flipped through the itinerary. "There are five sites in Yun Cheng, two of which haven't been developed yet. Three of them are in Ninghai Town. I'll arrange them for you..."
Butler Cheng babbled on.
But Old Master Cheng wasn't listening anymore. He was naturally imposing and looked noble and strict while sitting upright.
Butler Cheng went on for a while and stopped when he saw that Old Master Cheng didn't respond. "Old Master?"
The car drove along the path to the gate of the villa.
"Yeah," Old Master Cheng glanced at him and replied calmly. "You make sense."
1
Butler Cheng was speechless. You were the one who asked where you were going to play tomorrow!
But Butler Cheng was a man with extensive experience. He closed his notebook silently, aware that the Old Master's mind was probably not on his itinerary tomorrow.
In the passenger seat, Cheng Juan was playing on his phone.
Old Master Cheng held it in all the way until he finally couldn't bear it.
He turned his head slightly and asked Butler Cheng in a low voice, "Erm, that..."
Butler Cheng bowed his head respectfully. "Miss Qin is still sleeping. Young Master Lu asked her to play games with him last night. Today, the results of the college entrance examinations will be released, so I didn't wake Miss Qin up, lest she becomes upset."
"Did I ask about the girl?" Old Master Cheng said harshly.
Butler Cheng was speechless.
After a while, the car stopped.
Old Master Cheng coughed and said seriously, "I heard from Cheng Mu that she's very good with computer engineering and is highly skilled. She'll probably like to major in Computing, right?"
He had contacted the old man at Beijing University, spent a lot of money, and included a position in the laboratory before he managed to obtain a place in the Computing department.
2
That girl's background was lacking, and Beijing University was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. She would most probably go to the laboratory then, so this would help her gain a foothold.

After all, in Old Master Cheng's eyes, power was what one held in their own hands...
