Chapter 48 Full Marks

The two directors were stunned when they saw the words "full marks."

Although there was a high probability that someone who finished the exam in ten minutes was a master of everything, there was also a chance they were a complete newbie who knew nothing.

Especially on a college campus, the faster someone stopped writing, the more likely they were just scraping by.

So, upon learning it was a perfect score, both were very surprised.

Director Huang was even pleasantly surprised.

"Whose relative is this? Who's blood did they inherit to be so awesome?" Director Huang couldn't help but swear.

He was extremely satisfied.

He was still young and would be working at the school for at least another ten or twenty years, so the next five, six, seven, or eight years weren't much to him.

So, even if Shen Xiao Ran was still an elementary school student, if she was a super genius, the school had no reason not to be excited.

With Chen Yuan, they were winning in the present.

With this child, they were winning in the future.

In conclusion, it was win-win-win!

They were winning like crazy.

"Directors, here's the exam paper." The teacher stepped forward, handed them the exam paper and answer sheet, and said, "I have a class later, so I'll head back first."

"Okay, go ahead." Director Wang nodded.

Then, he slightly turned his head, observing Director Huang's expression as he looked at the exam paper.

It was calm at first, but after a while, his brow suddenly furrowed.

Director Wang sensed something bad.

Because this was clearly not a normal reaction.

Director Huang had discovered a problem.

This exam paper not only had questions from the first year of junior high but also from the second and third years.

Even the standardized tests wouldn't have questions from the second or third year.

Why would such questions be on this pre-admission exam?

Director Huang could only think of one reason—they didn't want her to pass at all.

Of course, this made sense.

If the school was designated to accept disabled students, they had no choice.

But if the school wasn't designated and there were no policies or laws restricting them, most schools were very resistant to accepting such students.

There was nothing wrong with that.

There was no point in discussing it.

At most, it was a little mean.

Forget it, none of my business.

"So, this student will definitely be admitted, right?" Director Huang asked with a smile, then quickly added, "Of course, it's your decision. I'm just saying, don't take it to heart."

Although with this exam score, admission was 100% guaranteed, he would still help a little.

Every year's top scorers in the national college entrance examination were outstanding talents, and would become prominent officials and nobles in the future, having such a connection wasn't bad.

Maintaining a good relationship with Chen Yuan was still very important.

Who could guarantee what this kid would be like in the future? Maybe he would become the "superior" of Eleventh High, working in education or the government?

"Of course, we'll admit her," Director Wang replied with a smile. "I knew about this child before, and knew she was very talented. I even deliberately put in some difficult questions, and she was indeed able to finish them. In the future, she'll be another good candidate for the national college entrance examination."

He had to make excuses.

These excuses were quite disgusting.

"Definitely, she's like a child version of Chen Yuan, absolutely not to be underestimated," Director Huang really thought so.

Moreover, he really wanted to study in detail where these excellent genes came from, how they could be so smart.

Also, were they really siblings by blood?

"Director Huang, please wait a moment."

After saying this to Director Huang, Director Wang dialed Shen Xiao Ran's phone. After she answered, he said, "Congratulations, Xiao Ran, you passed the exam. After graduation, you'll be a student at Eleventh Junior High."

He wanted to advance and become the vice-principal.

Although this kind of thing was a big deal, it wouldn't affect his future too much.

But he didn't want any mishaps.

If the story of deliberately adding difficult questions to make things difficult for students got out, it really wouldn't be a good look.

So, he had to keep this exam paper safe and prevent it from leaking out.

"Okay, okay, come over here now."

Just like that, after the phone call, Shen Xiao Ran and Chen Yuan came over, still in this office, in front of Director Huang.

"Thank you for arranging this exam."

Chen Yuan, sitting in his wheelchair, proactively expressed his gratitude.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang wanted to skip over it, not wanting to continue the topic, so he asked with concern, "Did you walk around the school just now? What did you think?"

"It's pretty good."

After Chen Yuan answered, he glanced at Shen Xiao Ran, who was standing next to him, reminding her to speak on his behalf.

She was a little shy.

But Chen Yuan started stepping on 'his' foot again.

Helpless, she had no choice but to say, "It all feels pretty good, but it's a bit inconvenient for Xiao Ran to go to the restroom..."

They had shown their strength just now.

So now, it was time to negotiate.

Moreover, with Director Huang here, Director Wang, this opportunistic, self-serving pragmatist, would play the role of a helpful person at this time.

"This, ah, is indeed a bit troublesome." Director Huang nodded.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Director Wang raised his hand, smiling as he said, "The school should take care of students like Xiao Ran anyway. I'll submit an application to the leadership to convert one of the stalls in the women's restroom on a certain floor into an accessible toilet. That would be much more convenient."

Shen Xiao Ran was somewhat stunned.

Originally, she thought it was already very good that the school was willing to accept her, and she didn't dare to expect anything else.

But now, they were even discussing conditions?

Moreover, the other party was willing to agree.

What was Chen Yuan relying on? To what extent had he discerned people's hearts?!

As she was spacing out, Chen Yuan stepped on her foot again, so she quickly said, "Thank you so much. I thank you on behalf of my sister."

"Don't worry about it, it's a small matter."

Director Wang was very good at taking credit. Many things at school, even if he wasn't involved, he could sometimes get credit and hard work out of it.

This was also a workplace experience he had summarized. When the school leaders were low-level, you only needed to say more than you did, do less than you said, and diligently lick up, and you could advance.

Of course, this wasn't suitable for high-level units and collectives.

"The admission matters have already been filed here. Just come to register when the time comes," Director Wang said, still maintaining a friendly demeanor.

"Then Director Wang, Director Huang, we'll leave first."

Just like that, the two planned to leave.

"I'm also going back to the school, let's go together." At this time, Director Huang also stood up, "Then Director Wang, I'll take my leave first... no, no, no need to see me out."

So, the three walked together.

A leader actually taking the initiative to walk with a student...

Could it be that the school really had blind faith in him, regarding him as a potential top scorer, a hope for the school's advancement?

Director Wang watched this scene and became subtly nervous.

He hoped that Shen Xiao Ran wouldn't say anything out of line, affecting his chances of becoming vice-principal...

………

The three of them walked like this.

On the way, Director Huang suddenly asked Shen Xiao Ran curiously, "Participating in an individual entrance exam in advance, that requires some connections. Do you know any of the school leaders?"

Upon being asked this, Chen Yuan immediately expressed innocently, "Director Wang is my dad's best friend from high school."

"..." Director Huang was stunned.

Best friend from high school?

If he was his best friend from high school, and his daughter wanted to participate in the entrance exam, you deliberately did something like this?

How despicable.

What was Chen Yuan doing?

Shen Xiao Ran didn't quite understand why Chen Yuan said that.

"So, your dad used Director Wang's connections to get in for the exam?"

"Yeah."

"I see..." Director Huang nodded with a smile, not knowing what to say, he just added mindlessly, "Looks like that relationship is really good."

"Yes," Chen Yuan continued to say naively, "My dad said that Director Wang's family wasn't doing too well back then, he was a little malnourished, so he often bought him things to eat, and then the two of them became best friends."

Ah?

So, this is how you treat your brother?!

Director Huang had really opened his eyes, it was the first time he had seen such a *phoenix man*.

It was really outrageous, simply the behavior of a bastard.

Although this matter had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't do anything about it, he really wanted to complain...

"Xiao Ran!"

When they exited the school gate, her mother was already waiting.

So Shen Xiao Ran and Chen Yuan bowed and greeted Director Huang, then they left.

"How was the exam?"

Seeing Shen Xiao Ran's relaxed expression, her mother asked quite boldly.

"Okay." Chen Yuan made a gesture, smiling and saying, "She passed."

"That's great!" Her mother hugged her happily, then kissed Chen Yuan's face, "Xiao Ran, well done!"

"..." Shen Xiao Ran was stunned.

Mom!

How cunning, I didn't even get a kiss!

No, I've been kissed before...

In a dream.

No, Mom kissed 'me' today...

But the one who felt that kiss was Chen Yuan.

It's a mess, a complete mess.

"I didn't expect Director Wang to be quite nice," Thinking of this happy thing, her mother said with a smile.

"Yeah, he helped a lot."

"..." Upon hearing these words, Shen Xiao Ran was stunned.

Why say that?

Wasn't Director Wang just causing trouble, not helping at all, and a petty person?

Why was Chen Yuan thanking him?

"Then you and Brother Chen Yuan wait here for a moment, I'll go get the car."

"Okay, okay."

Just like that, her mother left.

As for Shen Xiao Ran, she revealed a puzzled expression: "Why not tell Mom that Director Wang didn't do anything good, and even made things difficult for me? That way, Dad could recognize what kind of person he is?"

Regarding her confusion, Chen Yuan looked at her mother who went to get the car, then turned his head, looked at Shen Xiao Ran, and said with a smile, "Although saying it would be more satisfying, this is the relationship that Mom and Dad went to ask for. If they knew that their efforts were meaningless, and instead a hindrance, they would be sad. Xiao Ran, sometimes, lies are gentler than the truth."

"..."

After Chen Yuan said these words, Shen Xiao Ran suddenly understood.

Then, she fell into deep thought.

Yes, Mom and Dad couldn't do anything else, couldn't improve her grades, and their connections weren't strong enough to directly get her into the school. They could only humbly beg.

This Director Wang was indeed very annoying, disgustingly so.

But if they thought that their efforts were useful, they would be very happy.

Don't use the evils of this world to punish your most loved family.

Besides sadness, they have no other way.

"Moreover."

Chen Yuan raised his hand and patted 'Shen Xiao Ran's' arm, comforting her: "I think this Director Wang will also be punished."

…………

Eleventh High School Principal's Office.

After Director Huang finished reporting his work, he suddenly looked at He Hongtao with a smile, hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong?" He Hongtao also asked with a smile.

"I ran into Chen Yuan at Eleventh Junior High today," Director Huang said.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Wait, why wasn't he at school during class?

He has to study hard, Comrade Chen Yuan!

"He accompanied his cousin to participate in Eleventh Junior High's pre-admission exam."

"I see." He Hongtao asked curiously, "How did it go?"

"Especially awesome." Director Huang gave a thumbs up and said, "He finished the entrance math test in ten minutes, and there were questions from the second and third year of junior high in it."

"Finished in ten minutes? Which side of Chen Yuan's family is he related to? Such awesome blood!"

He Hongtao was amazed, but soon, he discovered a blind spot: "Wait, why would there be questions from the second and third year of junior high on the entrance test?"

After he asked, Director Huang, who couldn't hold back, told him about that incident.

After listening, He Hongtao shook his head, his expression very subtle.

What a bastard director?

What a disgrace.

But, after all, he's a junior high school teacher, and also managed by the junior high school principal, it doesn't have much to do with me...

Wait.

He Hongtao, who had his hands crossed on the desk, suddenly thought that he had a drinking party with the junior high school principal in two days.

"It's not easy to evaluate. I think the school definitely didn't want to accept her either," Director Huang continued to say, "But who decided to add the out-of-bounds questions from the second and third year, I don't know."

"Indeed," He Hongtao nodded.

Whether Director Wang decided it or not, I'll know everything when I ask about it then.

Although I can't interfere with the personnel changes in the junior high school, if this kind of person is promoted to vice-principal, and even has the opportunity to become the main principal in the future...

That affects the quality of my school's students.

Then, I'll say a few words and see what the junior high school principal thinks.

But He Hongtao should have this much face, right?
