CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 54: TOP SCORER! TOP SCORER! PROVINCIAL TOP SCORER!_3

Chu River: "..."

She calmly said, "Old Chen, with that shout, you made sure even if I didn’t know, I’d have to know—just tell me if you’re a top scorer, can you get the bonus or not?"

This kid.

Old Chen tasted the understatement in her words, feeling his enthusiasm being suppressed.

But soon he got excited again.

"Top scorer! Top scorer! Provincial top scorer, 742!"

Chu River: "..."

"Alright, how much does the provincial top scorer prize give you? 50,000?"

"Hey, you child, you don’t have to worry about how much we get, you’re about to have money yourself, Little He, your good days are coming."

"Let me tell you, tomorrow, admission recruiters will definitely call you, you shouldn’t agree to anything right away—"

"Oh, I’ve already decided, I want to enroll in White Bird Academy."

Ah!

Old Chen got stuck.

"White, White Bird Academy, White Bird emphasizes science and engineering... also, also fine."

After saying that, he wanted to slap himself.

—That’s White Bird Academy!

Top in the country.

Many kids’ first dilemma is choosing between White Bird and He’an.

How did it become just "fine" with himself?

Old Chen, you can’t let having a provincial top scorer student make you arrogant!

Half the students in these two academies must be top scorers.

In any case, Old Chen recognized his mistake and quickly corrected his attitude.

He cleared his throat and solemnly said, "Once you’ve decided, that’s fine, White Bird is excellent, dress smartly tomorrow, come to school to meet the admissions people, there will surely be interviews then."

He added another reminder:

"If the school calls you, don’t answer."

"With your great grades, I’m going to make sure I fight for the missed subsidies they didn’t give you before, there must be a big prize."

Alright.

Fleecing Tian Shui Second High, Chu River is more than willing.

No matter if money is involved or not, Tian Shui Second High’s stinginess stands as evidence of not being what a good school should do.

It’s not as if she hasn’t checked out other schools’ news in her spare time.

...

Chu River hung up the phone and then put her phone aside—either way, those should be intercepted will definitely be blocked, the long night ahead, she decided to work on her design drawing first.

Sigh!

Crossing time and space to make a lower-tier version isn’t that easy.

For example, Sky Falcon’s power source, needs to be redesigned to meet current energy requirements.

...

The power diagram took two hours, yet nothing was drawn, research work is like this.

Chu River was quite accustomed, gathering up the drafts and tidying them, she reopened her phone, and clicked into the [Fa Da family] group chat.

Chu Fa Da: [How are the results?]

It took a while before a message came back.

Gao Tiantian: [Little He, you’re a top scorer!]

Chen Xinyue: [Little He, ahhhh top scorer ah! By the way, I tried contacting you earlier, why didn’t you reply?]

Little Curls: [Big boss, please accept my kneel. Thanks to the support of the big boss that allowed me to achieve such high scores.]

Little Glasses: [Same here.]

Alright.

These few, their scores are just about that.

Chu River sighed softly, nodding silently.

No matter her satisfaction, everyone is still quite satisfied with their own scores.

Alright.

She straightforwardly said: [Report scores.]

Gao Tiantian: [665.]

Chen Xinyue: [659.]

Little Curls: [657.]

Little Glasses: [663.]

[How’s it going?]

Little Curls sent a gif jumping around.

[This is my peak!]

Who isn’t?

Thinking about the last month, their grades improved so much...

Phew.

And thinking, even though they can’t get into He’an Bai Niao, other good universities will open their arms for them—

Hahaha.

Just feels great.

However, after sharing the happiest news, everyone still remembered to care about Chu River.

[Little He, have you finished the work in Beijing? Do you still have money now?]

[I do.]

Chu River understated: [From now on you don’t need to worry about my money issues... Oh right, I also brought gifts for you.]

Chen Xinyue was a bit worried.

[What exactly did you do?]

Otherwise, how could she earn so much in just a few days?

Chu River smiled mischievously.

[You’ll find out when we meet tomorrow.]

...

Early the next day, Chu River got up and headed to school.

She currently lives in a scenic hotel beside the school, built by the lake, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, sleeping very comfortably.

But even with time still early, perhaps because such an important matter like university admissions, even though there is ample time to apply, parents couldn’t rest easy and brought the students to the school to listen to the teacher’s analysis.

Only some people didn’t have this worry.

One is like Chu River, with grades so high, the target is clear, each school is vying for her.

The other is like Huang Mao’s buddies, who can’t even touch the admission line for colleges.

To be honest, Little Yellow’s secrecy skills are still impressive.

Even though on the bus he still clung to his hundred thousand deposit smiling foolishly, once off the bus, he only told his family he was going to Beijing to play.

Otherwise, a newly adult student holding such a large sum, even explaining would be unclear.

Who could’ve thought he followed such an able big sister, who could’ve thought the Cleaning Circle was such a miraculous invention by big sister?

Yes, that’s right.

Huang Mao’s parents have already felt the power of Cleaning Circle, with a good business sense, Huangmao’s mother has already preordered 10 units via internal channel before this thing fully captured the market.

Then she decided to throw a big event for her dry cleaning shop!

Like, washing a piece of clothing for one yuan or something.

Huangmao’s mother sighed: "Technology development is too fast..."

She had to catch the last wave to earn more.

Perhaps because her son brought a lovely gift, the mother spoke some heartfelt words rarely.

"Now you’ve graduated, even though grades aren’t great, we’re relieved. At least we don’t have to pay high fees for school every year."

Tianshui Second High’s high fees—truthfully, Huang Mao’s mother always asked herself, why be so unthinking.

But now that grades are out, she wasn’t saying that: "I initially planned to close this dry cleaning shop, it’s too exhausting."

Of course, Huangmao’s mother’s face was delicately made up, but her hands were swollen, red, and rough, thinking every trade has its difficulties.

His father thought the son was selling this new high-tech product, he assumed he was doing part-time summer jobs with classmates, praising now:

"You’ve grown up now, we don’t expect your grades to be outstanding, knowing to share the family’s burden is advancement."

He pulled out his wallet: "This thing is sold so expensively, bringing it to us, internal pricing must still be a lot, only did summer jobs for a few days..."

"Dad gives you money."

Little Yellow teared up.

...

Meanwhile, Chu River had already been brought into the principal’s office.

Reporters were already sniffing around the school but didn’t find out where she was staying, so Chu River had some peace.

Now seeing her arrive, they immediately swarmed over.

Luckily, the principal noticed she wasn’t wearing the school uniform, deeply felt a missed golden opportunity, and blocked them abruptly.

Old Chen was beside giving Chu River a look—

No matter yesterday he argued all night, this principal was stingy and inattentive back then, now it must be doubled.

They, Tian Shui Second High’s first provincial top scorer, no matter what, need to set a good incentive and example right!

Of course, mixed in a little request, like the student wearing the school uniform while attending interviews...

In Old Chen’s view, that’s completely trivial.

Chu River understood it with a smile.

She didn’t have good feelings towards the school, but frankly speaking, apart from stingy principal, the school ethos was fine.

The only variable was the integration of some private school classes.

Looking at the principal with shiny and bald head, as silent as a monk, taking the school uniform from the side.
