Chapter 290: Chapter 283: Passed the Exam
“How is this possible?” Even though he wanted it in his heart, he couldn’t say it out loud. He needed to stay humble.
“How is it not possible?” The leader’s face tightened, “You have the ability and the talent. If anyone feels wronged, let their own children try to get into Qing University. If they can’t even take care of their own children, how could they take my position?”
Lin Dad contemplated these words carefully, a rumble of thoughts stirring within him. His offspring should also try to get into Qing University. If he understood correctly, the leader was saying that his own child, Lele, had gotten into Qing University. Among the six children who got in, one of them was from his family?
Such a big deal, of course, he didn’t dare to ask directly, nor did he dare to say anything rash. But he understood what the leader meant, it was a hint for him, peaking some wind for him, indicating that after his promotion and transfer, Lin Dad would be the top person here. The matter of further advancement would depend on Lin Dad’s ability. Lin Dad was smart, had a sense of propriety in doing things, and spoke well, making him very suitable for officialdom.
Of course, his career fortunes were quite good. This year, his luck was even better. Without any mistakes, he was about to be promoted several levels up.
And on this matter, Lin Dad didn’t share with anyone else. When returning home, he mentioned it to Lin Mom and told her to keep it a secret until the results were out. Then, he would know if it was true or not.
Lin Mom felt excitement on one hand that her husband was about to be promoted, and on the other hand, her daughter really got into university, and not just any university, but a top-ranked institution.
People at Lin Dad’s leader’s place certainly had larger connections than Lin Dad’s, so they would know the college entrance exam scores first. But they did not disclose it. Lin Dad officially learned about it one week before the scores were announced.
At that time, he had already checked the entire school’s scores.
The results were similar to what he had expected. Tang Yuxin scored 756 points, ranking first in the entire province. She was the provincial liberal arts champion. Chen Lidong scored 712 points, also a very high score, Xu Miaomiao scored 708 points. As for his own Lele, she scored exactly 700 points. The admission score for Qing University was 700 points, so Lin Yile got in just by the skin of her teeth. Any less and she wouldn’t make it. The score for Nanqing University was slightly higher, 710 points.
So all of these children had been admitted, and they all got into top colleges in the nation.
“Yuxin scored really well. She is the provincial liberal arts champion. Let Zhinian know so they will have a clue. TV stations and others might want to interview her. Ask them if they want to expose Yuxin. If they do not want to, I can arrange it.”
“Alright,” Lin Mom quickly agreed. Her hand holding the phone was trembling. She looked up and saw Lin Yile peeking from the door, half leaning out as she eavesdropped on the phone conversation.
“Alright,” Lin Mom hung up the phone, with a bittersweet smile on her face.
“Come here, if you want to know something, ask mom directly.”
She waved her hand at her daughter. Sure enough, Lin Yile quickly came over and put her arms around Lin Mom’s arm, “Mom, did Dad just say that all of us got admitted to universities?”
“Yes, yes,” Lin Mom stroked her daughter’s hair. She noticed her girl had really grown up. Previously she was skinny and pitiful, even her hair was dry and yellow. But these years, she had sprouted quickly. Her hair was now black, her features had grown open, and she looked just like Lin Mom when she was young. She was becoming a little beauty.
“Mom, how did I do?” Lin Yile shook Lin Mom’s arm, eager to know how exactly she did, whether she did well, whether she got admitted into a top university.
“You did well, you got in, of course, you got in,” Lin Mom pinched her daughter’s face, laughing, “You scored exactly 700 points, which is the score for Qing University, so you made it to the university you wanted.”
“Thank you, Mom,” Lin Yile gave Lin Mom a big kiss, ready to share her joy with others.
“Where are you going?” Lin Mom quickly pulled on Lin Yile’s hair.
“I’m going to tell Yuxin and the others that I made it,” Lin Yile stopped abruptly, not daring to move. It hurt when her hair was pulled so fiercely.
“Okay, just don’t say anything yet,” Lin Mom’s voice suddenly became stern, “This is insider information from your Dad. The real results won’t be available for another week. Be careful not to make a mistake out of impatience and give others a handle on us. Your dad might be getting a promotion soon. Nothing can go wrong. After he assumes that position, you can do whatever you want.”
