Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 296 Summer Camp List

Chapter 296: Chapter 296 Summer Camp List

Jiang Zhe went to see her.

"Jiang Zhe, what are your thoughts on the summer camp activities?" Lou Qiaoyin asked her directly.

The girl before her had a seemingly indifferent expression, as if nothing caught her eye.

But the enormous potential she harbored had already made Lou Qiaoyin see beyond just her outward attitude.

"I don’t have any particular thoughts."

"Don’t you want to compete for a spot?"

"Teacher Lou, I don’t need one."

Lou Qiaoyin spoke earnestly, "Last time, I accompanied you to that environmental speech and exchange competition, and I know your English is exceptional, as are many of your talents. I’ve submitted these on your behalf, and getting a spot in the summer camp would definitely not be a problem.

You also know that many universities admit students with special consideration. Grades are just one aspect; they need more talent. Even students with unique abilities are highly sought after by them."

"Then I won’t waste a spot, let’s leave it for someone who needs it more."

Seeing that Jiang Zhe was sincere, Lou Qiaoyin did not insist.

When Jiang Zhe returned, Xia Enci immediately asked her, "You must have got a spot, right? Your achievements as a composer and in environmental work, any one of them would be more than enough."

"No need, I don’t require it here."

Xia Enci thought about it and saw no need to worry for her anymore.

Once the matter of the spots came out, everyone in various classes was discussing it.

Not just in First High School, but other schools were also buzzing with discussions.

Among them, First High School had the most spots, with one hundred.

Second High School had significantly fewer, only fifty.

The quotas for other schools decreased in turn, the numbers hardly worth consideration.

As soon as the news came out, Meng Yirou immediately secured a spot in Second High School.

Jiang Fanyue had always been at the top in terms of grades and had been the apple of the teachers’ eyes at First High School. After transferring to Second High School, she thought she would get one too.

But soon, she realized she wasn’t on the list.

She went to the head of the grade to inquire right away.

Faced with Jiang Fanyue, the head of the grade thought for a moment before remembering this new transfer student had caused quite a stir at the school when she arrived.

"Jiang, the list has been carefully considered and selected comprehensively. Indeed, you are not on the list."

"But my grades..."

"Your grades were from First High School. Using your original grades wouldn’t be fair to the students of Second High," the head of the grade refuted her with sound reasoning.

Jiang Fanyue gripped the corner of her clothes tightly.

She knew the repercussions of the last incident still lingered.

Future school activities like this might have nothing to do with her anymore.

Biting her lip, the head of the grade said calmly, "Go study. If you work hard, there will always be opportunities."

She had no choice but to turn and leave.

Meanwhile, Tian Wangcheng also felt great regret that Jiang Fanyue, his proud protégé, had not continued at his school, resulting in the loss of a promising student.

The list was about to be announced, and he was constantly vigilant, not wanting his students to face any other issues.

During the meeting, when he saw the draft list, he was stunned for a moment: "Are there some from the unnamed classes?"

In the previous lists, the names all came from Class A, and it was rare for Classes B and C to even get a look in.

This time, there were five from the unnamed classes on the list!

Si Qing could be dismissed, as his grades had always been good; he was the exception who followed his own path.

What about the other four?

Teacher Luo smiled and said, "Teacher Tian, besides looking at talents and capabilities for the annual list, we also consider the monthly exam results. Coincidentally, several students from our class ranked in the top one hundred, so they made it onto the list. This follows the correct procedure, doesn’t it?"

"What about Xia Enci? She didn’t make it into the top one hundred!"

"Oh, she won the provincial championship in short track sprinting during her second year and came third in the national high school competition. When converted, her achievements indeed qualify her for the list."

A teacher next to them nodded and said, "Yes, the top three placements in provincial and national competitions can be converted. Xia Enci just barely made it into the top one hundred."

In his many years of teaching, Tian Wangcheng had never been overshadowed by someone from another class.

In fact, counting up, his class still had the most students on the list, with only ten left out.

But for someone who had always prided himself, missing even one spot felt like a slap in the face.

That one missing spot falling to the unnamed class made it even more unbearable for him.

In his view, the entire class should have made it into the spots!

Besides Si Qing and Xia Enci, three more students from the unnamed class secured spots.

These three had earned their places through their monthly exam scores and possessed artistic talents, securing their spots without question.

Since joining the unnamed class, those three hadn’t even dreamed of such a future, thinking at best they’d go abroad for a nominal school registration or have their families pay for an art school.

This was an unexpected joy!

Given the choice, who wouldn’t want to proudly select their university based on their own merit!

The improvement in the three students’ results was hugely related to Xiao Meng and Si Qing’s study group. Joining this study team and being pushed by Xiao Meng to do practice questions every day, solving workbooks from Xiao Meng, had led to their remarkable progress.

"Xiao Meng, Si Qing, and all of you..." referring to Song Xingyu, Four-Eyes and others, "we’ll cover all snacks and drinks for this month."

Xiao Meng, smiling, said, "That’s all good. Just remember the chewing gum."

They knew the chewing gum was for Jiang Zhe, and immediately agreed, "Sure thing, we’ll provide enough chewing gum!"

"So, I just made it by scraping through!" Xia Enci exclaimed with joy when she got the list.

In her excitement, she then realized she had just barely qualified.

How lucky was that!

"Congratulations," Jiang Zhe nodded.

Lou Qiaoyin stood by, understanding why Jiang Zhe had given up a spot.

If she had gone, Xia Enci wouldn’t have qualified for that position.

However, Lou Qiaoyin’s guess was both right and wrong. Jiang Zhe had no intention of taking the spot in the first place; she had just incidentally reserved it for Xia Enci.

Even if she hadn’t reserved it for Xia Enci, she wouldn’t have wanted the spot.

After the spots were announced, there was mixed joy and sorrow among the families.

The students from Class One who didn’t make the list were very frustrated.

"What the hell, even the unnamed class got spots! Are you sure there’s no foul play?!"

"That’s too much; what gives them the right?"

"Even Xia Enci, with her one-track mind and brute strength, gets in?"

Zhang Xi also felt annoyed upon seeing the list.

Influenced by Jiang Fanyue, her grades had dropped significantly, barely holding the ninety-ninth position on the list and managing to scrape into the allocated spots.

But making it to the summer camp didn’t mean she could rest easy; only half of those who attended would be able to secure the qualification for preferential university admission.
