CHAPTER 129: CHAPTER 129: ENROLLMENT

Ye Silai and Ye Siyan have already adapted to life in the family compound, and they no longer have to follow their uncle to the security department. As soon as they finish eating, some kids come over to invite them out to play.

In the residential area, not all children attend the nursery. Some have grandparents at home to watch them, while others are reluctant to spend the one and a half yuan monthly care fee.

After He Jinxuan left, Yu Xinyan quickly tidied up and went out as well.

She has a clear goal today, which is the Mechanical Factory High School for Employees’ Children. At the school gate, she explained her purpose and showed her household registration booklet. The gatekeeper opened the gate and pointed her in the right direction.

She quickly found the office of the academic affairs office and lightly knocked on the door.

A male voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Yu Xinyan pushed the door open: "Hello."

Everyone in the room looked up at her, and one of the middle-aged male teachers asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Yu Xinyan said, "Hello, I’d like to inquire about school enrollment."

The middle-aged male teacher was not too surprised: "Come in."

He pointed to the chair opposite him: "Please sit."

He set aside the materials in his hand, asked about Yu Xinyan’s situation, and checked her household registration booklet. After confirming there were no issues, he then said: "You were originally attending the second year of high school?"

"Yes."

"If you want to transfer, you’ll need to take the school’s exam. This will help us decide which class to place you in."

"No problem, do I take the exam today?"

The middle-aged male teacher spoke to another teacher in the room, "Teacher Li, bring over the exam papers from the other day."

Teacher Li got up: "Okay, Director."

It was then that Yu Xinyan realized that this middle-aged man was the director of the academic affairs office.

Before she came in, she had specifically asked the gatekeeper, and she understood that this was Director Qiao, whom the gatekeeper mentioned.

Soon, Teacher Li brought over the exam papers for each subject. Yu Xinyan had been studying regularly, and now, with her improved memory, along with her last-minute cramming the previous night, she was very confident.

Director Qiao signaled for Yu Xinyan to do the exam at an empty desk nearby and asked Teacher Li to invigilate.

Yu Xinyan took the exam papers and sat down at the specified desk, borrowed a pen from Teacher Li, and quietly began working on the questions.

Time passed by the second, and Yu Xinyan completed the questions quickly. Each time she finished a paper, Teacher Li would have a colleague take it to the teachers of each subject for marking.

By noon, she finished all the papers. Her speed inevitably impressed everyone.

Director Qiao was even more excited after seeing the graded papers from the teachers of each subject.

At this time, the form teachers of each class had already heard the news and rushed to the academic affairs office, eager to see which class would get this exceptional student.

The Mechanical Factory is a large one, and the primary school for employees’ children also receives kids from several nearby villages. There are four classes in the second year of high school, and they all want Yu Xinyan, who scored nearly full marks in all subjects.

They were at odds, arguing fiercely.

Finally, it was Principal Feng who arrived after hearing the commotion and said decisively, "Stop arguing, let’s draw lots."

No one disagreed with this, and soon the result was out. After completing the formalities, Yu Xinyan was taken to Class Two by Teacher Chu, the class teacher.

After a brief self-introduction, Yu Xinyan became a member of the second year, Class Two.

Originally, she wanted to discuss with Mr. Chu about coming only for exams and studying at home during regular times, giving her time to do other things, but Teacher Chu wouldn’t agree to anything else.
