Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 167

It wasn’t until a year later that Jiang Ning was admitted to another nationally famous university with the top score in the county and the third-highest score in the city. That time, her name was hung on the banner at the gate of No. 1 High School for an entire year.

Later, they met again. By then, Song Peifeng had become the top leader in the area, trained by superiors at a young age. Jiang Ning had also become a close confidante to a major leader, in the eyes of others. Whenever people in Wuzhong talked about their alma mater, they couldn’t avoid mentioning Song Peifeng. Similarly, when people from No. 1 High School talked about their alma mater, they couldn’t avoid mentioning Jiang Ning.

In that comparison, the two schools seemed evenly matched. Their school had outstanding alumni, and so did No. 1 High School.

Although Song Peifeng was actually more powerful, and his future achievements were smoother, privately, everyone inevitably compared the two people’s family backgrounds. One was blessed by family background, while the other may have been blessed by luck.

At that time, many people selectively forgot what Jiang Ning had experienced in high school.

Yes, Jiang Ning was not surprised by her results.

After accumulating all her strength during high school, she finally broke out. She once achieved results that amazed everyone. Later, people looked up her resume from childhood to adulthood. Some said she was lucky, while others claimed she had a strong mental capacity. She was an exam-oriented contestant, the type who usually didn’t show off her skills. But when it came to a major exam that determined her life, she always managed to surprise everyone. At every critical turning point in her life, she seemed to always make the right choice.

Mr. Wang, the head teacher of Class 3 in the first year, walked with an air of confidence. Already tall with long legs, he strode like a model on TV, exuding an indescribable and suave charm. His ever-present pride only added to his radiant aura. The other head teachers and his colleagues in the English department were thrilled for No. 1 High School, though they couldn’t help but feel a bit envious at the same time.

They thought, “That Old Wang was just lucky enough to find a student like Jiang Ning.” It took all their strength to refrain from teasing him at that moment, to calm his excitement.

But when there wasn’t anything to show off, Teacher Wang would still hold his tea cup and parade around the office, boasting to the whole building. Now that he had something to brag about, he grabbed his tea cup and asked everyone, “The joint examination results are out. Have you seen them? How could a student from our parallel class take first place in the county?”

Someone saw Teacher Wang and commented, “Teacher Wang, you’re in a great mood. As you know, our class’s Jiang Ning ranked first in the county in the joint examination.”

“Where are you going, Teacher Wang?”Q

“Going to take a look at the ranking list on the bulletin board. The one at the top is Jiang Ning from my class, you know?”

The teachers who greeted him were irritated, but it was a happy occasion for No. 1 High School, so they restrained themselves from retaliating against Teacher Wang.

Jiang Bai, who never paid attention to the bulletin board results, also saw the familiar name at the very top. His eyes warmed.

Tong Jingang, standing beside him, was as excited as a monkey, jumping up and down. He hugged Jiang Bai’s thin shoulders tightly, exclaiming, “Baizi, Baizi, you see, our girl is too ambitious. She’s number one in the whole county!”

Although not every high school in Wucheng participated in the joint examination, all the important high schools had. Even the more remote high schools in rural areas wouldn’t have affected the overall results by not participating. Essentially, all the top students in the county were represented in those high schools.

Therefore, Jiang Ning was truly the first in the county.

Tong Jingang never expected that he, a self-proclaimed slacker from No. 1 High School, would actually know such an accomplished person.

That girl was also the biological sister of his good friend. Rounding it all off, she was practically like his biological sister.

Jiang Bai wanted to laugh, but tears welled in his eyes first.

He tried his best to hold them back, not wanting anyone to see his emotions, but he couldn’t stop the tears from spilling over.

He looked up at the sky, trying to force back the warmth, but a slightly cold tear ran down his throat and disappeared into his warm scarf.

Then he laughed.

“Yes,” he replied proudly. “My sister.”

Wuzhong also posted a list of the top two hundred in the county.

Just like No. 1 High School, the score and school were marked after each name. Then one could see most clearly in the list that Wuzhong still accounted for the largest proportion of all schools in the top two hundred. The best in the exams, the first place in the second and third grades of high school, were all from Wuzhong.

But there were still many people who noticed the dazzling marks behind the number one on the high school ranking list.

There was only one point difference between the first and second place, but they were several points ahead of the third place.

Even the head teacher of Class 10, Wuzhong High School, couldn’t help but tell his students that one test did not mean anything. Song Peifeng, a student in his class, still performed stably.

Stable performance was the most important thing. That meant that if nothing unexpected happened, Song Peifeng from their class would still be able to maintain such a stable performance in the future college entrance examination. With his results, he would rank among the top ten in the country.

He also had such good resources. Someone from the provincial high school sends him study materials and tutorial books every month. The head teacher of Class 10 was not worried about Song Peifeng’s grades at all.

As for Jiang Ning from No. 1 High School, who ranked first in the county in the joint examination, the real test would be whether she could perform just as well in the college entrance examination. He didn’t think Jiang Ning from No. 1 High School could have such a performance. If she had such ability, she would not be unknown before.

In other words, her result that time was probably due to her performing well that time.

Therefore, the results of that exam did not affect the teacher of Class 10 of Wuzhong High School at all, nor did it affect the students of Class 10. At most, they were a little unhappy at being suppressed by No. 1 High School and looked forward to the next joint examination coming soon; they wanted to push back the first one.

Not only did that joint examination not discourage them, but it was just like Director Wang originally wanted to achieve the purpose of this joint examination, which was to stimulate the students of that school. The success of No. 1 High School stimulated the students of Wuzhong, making them work harder and more energetically, and the learning atmosphere of the school became better.
