Chapter 244: 216 The Xia Family holds a banquet, and various bigwigs are ready to poach people!_2

He asked, "What’s the name of the city’s top scorer? Which school did they come from?"

Ma Xiaohui tapped her chin and said, "Not sure about the school, Mom, but I heard from the lady next door that it seems to be... Xia Ye? Yes, that’s the name, Xia Ye!"

Tian Ye paused for a second, stood up from his chair, took out his phone, and rapidly scrolled through WeChat—

Xia Yourong was turning herself into a tearful mess when she received a message from Tian Ye.

She, the school belle and top student of yesterday, had actually scored 599 points!

Earlier when she checked her results online, she was ranked 500th in the city. She thought being within the top 500 was still a category in itself, but just now, someone’s scores must have been released; she was brutally knocked down a notch, ousted from the top 500 and becoming 501st...

When Xu Qing heard about her scores, he didn’t say a word; he just went back to his room and never came out again.

Qiao Yufen wasn’t in much better shape. At first, she kept saying Xia Yourong must have checked wrong and urged her to check again. But when she found out that her pride and joy had indeed scored such a result, her heart and eyes filled with disappointment.

points?

With that score, was there any need to make a long trip to the suburbs to visit Master Jiang?

Even with the extra twenty points, it was only 619 points.

Last year for Beijing University, even the least sought-after majors had a minimum entry score of over 650 points.

It was nowhere close.

The entire old house was covered by an extremely low pressure.

Xia Yourong was lying on her desk, crying so hard she was nearly hyperventilating.

Fortunately, right then, she received a WeChat message from Tian Ye.

At least Tian Ye cared about her.

Xia Yourong wiped her tears and opened WeChat.

Tian Ye: Do you know how many points your sister scored? The top scorer with full marks this year is also named Xia Ye, and I want to know if it’s a coincidence of names.

She tossed her phone onto the bed!

She couldn’t care less whether the top scorer with full marks shared the name Xia Ye or not!

She thought Tian Ye was messaging her to comfort her!

The last thing she expected was that he was asking about Xia Ye’s grade!

Meanwhile, Qiao Yufen, happened to receive a call from Xia Yuzheng.

On the other end, Xia Yuzheng was brimming with joy, a stark contrast to the heavy atmosphere on Qiao Yufen’s side.

Xia Yuzheng first asked about Xiaorong’s scores, and upon hearing the result of 599 points, his tone was quite surprised: "How could it drop so much?"

Qiao Yufen responded indifferently, "How should I know? I have a lot of friends here waiting to hear about my granddaughter’s scores, and I don’t even know what to tell them."

Xia Yuzheng chuckled, his voice still unable to hide his happiness, "Well, no matter what, she passed the first-tier university line. Even though she has slipped back, it’s still a score not everyone can achieve. As for the friends at your place, it’s even easier to explain now. Xiaorong isn’t your only granddaughter..."

Qiao Yufen: "Are you talking about Yeye? What can I expect from her? She’s not even as good as Xiaorong. Even with Xiaorong slipping, she’s still better than her!"

Upon hearing this, the cheerful tone in Xia Yuzheng’s voice cooled a few degrees, and without saying anything further, he simply laid his daughter’s score on the table: "Yeye just found out her score—750, the national top scorer with full marks for the year."

Qiao Yufen was momentarily silent on the other end.

Xia Yuzheng didn’t wait for his mother to react, he promptly hung up the phone.

Originally, he had made the call intending to invite his mother to bring Xiaorong to Godear for lunch the next day to celebrate Yeye becoming the top scorer. But now he decided, it might be better not to include them.

Just in one morning, news of Xia Ye’s perfect high school entrance exam score spread like wildfire among the nation’s population invested in this year’s high school exams.

Although Tian Hanwen had long guessed that this was the score that suited his boss, he was still ecstatic.

He kept looking for a chance to congratulate the boss, but the office phone hadn’t stopped ringing all morning.

The first and second, fifth and sixth places in the city were all from the same school, especially with the first place being without any additional points, a pure full score.

It was an undeniable sensation.

Their First Middle School was going to be famous.

Not only the principal’s office at First Middle School was in such a buzz; Xia Ye’s home phone was about to explode as well.

Xia Tiao even received calls from his colleagues at the O-League Secretariat, and what was more astonishing was that the colleague wasn’t even Chinese, but they too had heard about a student scoring full marks in this year’s Chinese high school exams!

Wu’s mom received personal calls from the presidents of Beijing University and Yan University throughout the morning.

Yan University, second only to Beijing University, was also a formidable institution.

There were also calls from other provinces; in summary, they all came from top-ranking universities across the country.

The purpose was clear and without exception: they were here to poach talent.

But the Xia Family didn’t take any of these calls; they just let Wu’s mom handle them.

With a score like that of the top scorer with full marks, they didn’t need to rush. They could let Little Tiangao have a good summer vacation before slowly considering which university and which major to choose.

Right now, what Xia Yuzheng thought was most important was to organize a grand celebration for his daughter the next day, and invite all friends and family, including the Jiang family, to join in the excitement together.

Not even the top-student eldest son and the genius third son had such sensational scores in their college entrance exams.

Xia Yuzheng was absolutely delighted this time; Godear was such an expensive place, he made a call and booked an entire floor directly.

Usually, Xu He and his sons might advise him not to get too excited too soon, but up to now, they were still not over Little Tiangao’s exam results, and they had no energy to care about anything else.

Xia Xing looked at his eldest brother: "When you finished the college entrance exam, did the presidents of Beijing University and Yan University call you personally?"

Xia Tiao: "I was admitted by recommendation; they didn’t make such calls."

Xia Xing then looked at his third younger brother: "And you, Third Brother?"

Xia Xian also shook his head.

The three of them silently turned their eyes towards Little Tiangao, who was sitting in the dining room drinking the soup their mother had made...

Her heart was still racing.

Over at Xia Yuzheng’s, he was happily arranging tomorrow’s banquet.

Little did he know that the "spies" from Beijing University and Yan University had already simultaneously received the news.

President Chen of Beijing University and President Qiu of Yan University each sat at their respective desks, looking at their "spies" before them, and confirmed, "Tomorrow at noon, Godear?"

The "spies" from both institutions said, "Yes, President Chen/Qiu."

President Chen/Qiu pushed their glasses up in sync and had a look of eagerness: "Okay, since they’re not taking calls, I’ll go in person tomorrow! We absolutely can’t let Old Qiu/Chen snatch away this great treasure!"
