Chapter 1232: Chapter 826: Qualified for School Now (2)

"Here to snatch people."

On the other end, Old Jiang received a call with a bewildered look. The caller identified themselves and asked if Jiang Nian was home.

"Ah..... him?"

Just as he hung up, another call came in.

"Xu Qianqian, they’re... out. Not just for breakfast, they’re out traveling."

Then, another call came in.

"Song... Xiao Song, they are indeed together. Their relationship is quite good, but they’re not in Zhen Nan now."

Hanging up the phone, Old Jiang felt puzzled.

"Why are they calling all at once?"

Li Hongmei stood up from the sofa and said as she paced.

"What’s so strange about it? It’s recruitment; of course, they invite together. Would they do it one by one?"

Old Jiang: ".... Nonsense."

"You’re the one talking nonsense. So many calls, how could they not pass?" Li Hongmei finished speaking and was delighted again.

"Oh, I need to buy a new outfit."

"Then can I get a new car?" Old Jiang tentatively asked, reasoning that women change clothes and men change cars.

"Swap a fart!" Li Hongmei glanced at him, "Did you prepare your son’s dowry?"

"Well..... our family can afford it." Old Jiang picked up the thermos cup, then thought of something.

Soon after, he put it down with a worried look.

"Forget it, let’s not change now. But speaking of this, we don’t know where they went."

"Probably hiding." Li Hongmei thought for a moment, called Old Xu, "With the in-laws.... oh no."

"First talk to Old Xu, it’s about time to discuss the banquet."

"So soon?" Old Jiang was surprised, suddenly feeling his wallet was under attack; one or two is fine.

But..... no, two won’t do.

What am I thinking!

In short, this kid is playing with some new type of fire, and it’s hard to question directly for a while.

Little rascal, really troublesome.

"Is this fast?" Li Hongmei turned back to him, "Since we have to do it anyway, better to get it done early."

"Not great, the kids should arrange it themselves..." Old Jiang disagreed but offered it as a reference.

"The graduation banquet, you’re letting them arrange?"

"Oh oh, the graduation banquet." Old Jiang came to his senses, "Hey, I thought you meant something else."

Li Hongmei: "???"

"What do you think I meant?"

"Nothing."

....

"Why are we hiding?" Song Xiyun turned, looking at the two lying on the sofa.

At this time, they were in Zhen Nan.

But, at Xiao Song’s house.

"Negotiating terms, it gets troublesome if we’re found." Jiang Nian said, "Aren’t you at zero score too?"

"Yes.... yeah." Song Xiyun always felt this sounded odd; she just made the cutoff with zero score.

Ranked fifty in the province.

Very strange, she outperformed in the college entrance exam.

"Playing dumb like a fox." Jiang Nian pointed at her, "Didn’t you say you did just okay?"

Okay, it’s the three of us, right?

"I.... I don’t know." Song Xiyun blushed, "I really estimated just okay at first."

"Indeed, I can attest to that." Xu Qianqian said, "Xiyun kept lowering her score estimates."

"No, I really..." Song Xiyun couldn’t win against them, "Anyway, maybe it’s luck."

Xu Qianqian turned and smiled.

"Forget luck, the scores are out. According to the teacher, applying to Qingbei might not be stable."

"That..... that’s pretty good." Song Xiyun was a bit anxious, "As long as you guys have it steady, it’s fine."

"Let’s go together." Xu Qianqian said.

"Ah?"

"But..... afraid the scores aren’t high enough?" Xiao Song had a vague premonition, knowing what they wanted to do.

"So we negotiate." Jiang Nian said comfortably, sitting on the sofa, "What if a miracle happens?"

Song Xiyun: ".... No need, I....."

"It’s a big life decision, don’t act rashly." Jiang Nian said, "Let’s try first, okay?"

Song Xiyun looked up, meeting his gaze. Feeling flustered, she could only lower her head and agreed.

"Okay."

"Exactly, the outcome isn’t out yet." Xu Qianqian chimed in, "Trying can’t hurt."

"But why are they considering over there?"

"Just rhetoric." Jiang Nian said, "Let’s see who holds steady; we don’t need to rush for now."

Two dragging one, it’s indeed pushing the limits.

He and Xu Qianqian are both 700-score players; it’s checkable, but he learned from the calls.

Xu Qianqian was on the line at 702, Jiang Nian at 705.

From the grades, it’s normal performance. But considering the exam’s difficulty, it was extraordinary.

Technically, one could dominate the world with over 700.

Even touch the provincial top scorer.

However, the exam was relatively simple this time. Over 700, there are others at the provincial top ten.

Taking a huge step back, Qingqing the Great Demon King is unmatched. Her score was as high as 730, terrifying.

Essentially, this is a solid candidate for the top scorer.

An hour ago, Li Lanying called. When Jiang Nian picked up, it was Li Qingrong.

"Which school are you going to?"

Jiang Nian: ".... Haven’t decided yet."

"Well, let me know when you decide." Li Qingrong finished, directly hung up the phone, "Come earlier."

Jiang Nian: "..."

No matter what, he now holds a card. The only thing left is to wait patiently.

As it stands, if it doesn’t work out, so be it. After all, breaking the rules is tough; even the mayor can’t do it.

Anyway, give it a shot.

On the other side, both recruitment offices were baffled. Two dragging one was a straight no-go, that’s the bottom line.

Two points, one point apart, is still a substantial rank gap.

It’s unfair to others.

But this sentiment is understandable. All three are within consideration for both schools.

Understanding aside, if the scores don’t meet, they go where they’re meant to, even with siblings.

"What do you say?"

"Nothing." The recruitment teacher shook their head, "The two are couch potatoes, only interested in money."

"Talking about resources perks them up, and they keep mentioning the friend, indifferent to all."

"Then forget it." Another teacher took off their glasses, "For now, just let it go; it’s too frivolous." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Suddenly, a phone call came.

The teacher answered, dazed for a while, "What do you mean, Jiang Nian goes where she goes, so casual!"

"Oh, both made it past the line."

"Then..."

The hot potato was tossed back to them again. After hanging up, the recruitment teacher felt numb.

"Get someone else to call, staying up all night is unbearable."

"But dragging on is not the answer."

"This....."

"Right, I have an idea." A teacher suggested, "Why not check if the provincial fifty can potentially scrape through."

"Yes, as long as there’s a chance to place....."

The next day.

Half-awake, Jiang Nian picked up a call, and the first thing across the line was, "Congratulations to you all, student."

At the same time, Song Xiyun also came out from the room to use the restroom, glanced at the living room sofa.

"What’s wrong?"

Suddenly, she felt herself being lifted into the air. Her soft waist was hugged, the touch a bit firm.

"Ah!!"

She gasped slightly, her chest pressed outwards. Intuitively breathing rapidly, a bit breathless.

"Wha... what’s happening?"

"We made it!!" Jiang Nian’s uncontrollable joy in his voice, kissed her face, "Scraped through!"

Lively commotion.

Noisy and chaotic for two days, Jiang Nian barely stopped, flying to Yuhang for some small business.

Zhao Qiuxue was also happy, at least a relative at last.

Moreover, unrivaled pair of supreme scores.

Several days passed, she was all smiles. Until she came to her senses, remembered she needed to teach Jiang Nian product picking.

"Hmm?"

"Did you finish it?"

Zhao Qiuxue was a bit dazed, Jiang Nian practically grasped it immediately. Within days, his distinct rising momentum.

"Okay, start on it first. Ask if unsure, beginners shouldn’t rush, it gets easier once accustomed."

Upon hearing, Jiang Nian nodded.

"Got it."

Zhao Qiuxue turned around and muttered ’monster’. But busy in work, she soon forgot.

Soon, it was early July.
