Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Jiang Zhe’s Score Wasn’t Displayed

Having said that, Fu Qifang looked toward Jiang Zhe, smiling, "My lucky star is here, always able to bring me good luck, right?"

"Yes, once you find your beloved disciple, don’t forget to thank me." Jiang Zhe shrugged his shoulders.

Xia Xingzhi found this information quite beyond her expectations, much better than what she had imagined.

This showed that in society at large, it wasn’t necessarily the case that talent would always find a stage to be displayed.

The content Xia Xingzhi had might be three to five years ahead of everyone else’s time.

With aerospace technology changing day by day, it’s no wonder some people couldn’t understand.

...

In the evening, Xia Xingzhi packed his bags.

Although it hadn’t been finally confirmed whether he could go to the research institute domestically, a friend overseas had already helped him contact a supervisor, and he was going to meet them soon.

Xia Enci helped him pack, "Cousin, when will you be back this time?"

"If it’s quick, then a week. If suitable, I might just go directly there to report. You’ll have to take more care of grandma." Xia Xingzhi said.

"I know." Xia Enci was quite reluctant to see him go.

Xia Xingzhi smiled, "I’ve told mom and dad that you and Xiaozhe can just live here without worry. Later, when you come to Beijing to attend university, come over more often."

He fished a key out of the drawer and handed it to Xia Enci.

"What’s this?" Xia Enci asked.

"It’s a small apartment I bought with my scholarship, with two bedrooms. When you and Xiaozhe come to study, if you’re not comfortable living at school, and if you need it, you can go there. Just think of it as house-sitting for me."

Xia Enci pouted, "I don’t want it. You can look after it yourself."

Xia Xingzhi didn’t insist, merely placing the key on the desk beside him.

Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang.

It was a very unfamiliar number. Xia Xingzhi answered the call.

The voice and content from the other side made him pause for a moment before he realized what the caller’s name meant.

"Tomorrow? I’ll be there on time." Xia Xingzhi’s voice was somewhat flattered but quickly steadied.

Only his trembling hands betrayed his excitement.

Xia Enci looked at him, "What’s wrong, cousin?"

"I need to go somewhere first tomorrow, the trip abroad has to be delayed."

Xia Enci was happy for him, "That’s great!"

...

In the living room of the Xia Family.

Due to the results of the independent college entrance examination, the moods of Xia Mingli, the second mistress of the Xia family, which had been subdued for two days, began to rise again.

"The estimated scores for Li Ran and Li Qian were almost the same as the final results. These two kids, they really did well." Xia Mingli’s face was full of joy.

Li Ran and Li Qian, having scored high, were also very pleased with themselves.

The elderly Madame Xia was feeling better today and was pleased to hear it, "With those scores, can they go directly to Beijing University?"

"One has over six hundred and fifty, the other over six hundred and eighty, more than enough," Xia Mingli said with a smile.

"Not bad, quite promising." Madame Xia said, "Later, have the butler prepare a good dinner, and let’s celebrate for them."

Xia Mingzhu was also glowing with pride, "Once you two get to school, study hard, and if there’s anything, come directly to me. Seize the opportunity."

"Sure, Sister Mingzhu." Li Ran and Li Qian nodded together.

Mrs. Xia said, "Congratulations, all the effort put in by these two youngsters really wasn’t in vain."

Mrs. Xia, the elder, laughed and said, "It truly is the case of the new waves pushing the old in the Yangtze River. The children nowadays really are getting more and more capable."

"With these results, they can choose whatever major they want, right?" asked Mrs. Xia, the second.

Xia Mingzhu nodded, "More or less. It all depends on what they like."

Xia Mingli, who was sitting aside drinking tea, heard this and interjected, "They can get into the top few spots? Normally, shouldn’t there be teachers coming over to scout out the top students?"

The so-called teachers scouting out top students referred to the practice where, after every major exam, teachers from various disciplines would come to the students’ homes to personally discuss the students who performed well, in a bid to recruit them for their own speciality.

Not only did this competition exist between disciplines, but it also existed between schools and teachers, all desiring to have the best talents under their own guidance.

To secure these talents, many schools and disciplines would also promise high scholarships and other benefits.

Some teachers would offer academic opportunities in order to attract students to join them.

Li Qian couldn’t help feeling a touch of pride, "When we were at school, some teachers already spoke to us, inviting us to join them. Li Ran and I haven’t made up our minds yet, and we aren’t sure which speciality suits us. We were just thinking of discussing it with Sister Mingzhu before deciding."

Mrs. Xia, the second, laughed and said, "So you’ve already been scouted."

Everyone naturally felt happy for Li Ran and Li Qian.

Jiang Zhe arrived with Xia Enci just in time to hear the lively laughter.

Xia Enci ran over to Mrs. Xia, the elder, "Grandma, are you feeling better?"

"Much better, my appetite has improved in the past few days and so has my spirit," said Mrs. Xia, the elder, affectionately.

"What’s making everyone so happy?" Xia Enci asked.

Seeing Jiang Zhe had arrived, Mrs. Xia, the elder, did not wish to continue the topic, but how could Mrs. Xia, the second, keep her mouth still?

She immediately announced, "We’re discussing the results of the independent admissions. Li Qian scored more than six hundred and eighty points, and Li Ran, more than six hundred and fifty points. Such scores would be among the top anywhere. Now, they can choose any major or teacher they want."

After finishing, Mrs. Xia, the second’s gaze fell on Jiang Zhe, "How many points did you get, Jiang Zhe?"

Jiang Zhe didn’t know about the results being released; she had been with Fu Qifang during the day, and at night, she was busy with Jiang Xiruo working on the mushroom project.

She did not speak.

Xia Mingzhu grinned and ate her fruit in amusement.

Xia Mingli continued to sip his tea.

Refusing to let it go, Mrs. Xia, the second, pressed on, "Li Qian, did you see Jiang Zhe’s score?"

Li Qian shook her head, "No, I haven’t."

"Aren’t the scores supposed to be displayed for everyone to see once they’re out? How could you not have seen it?" Mrs. Xia, the second, feigned surprise.

Li Qian and Li Ran did find it odd indeed.

Since almost everyone’s scores were out and because they lived with Jiang Zhe, they had specifically looked for her score but couldn’t find it anywhere.

They really didn’t know what was going on.

Xia Tang commented, "What era are we living in that we’re still judging success or failure by scores?"

He had always been a standout in the Xia family. After a few quiet years, he was now back in the limelight and exuded authority.

With such a statement from him, Mrs. Xia, the second, found that her eagerness to gossip further was thwarted.

Xia Mingzhu glanced sidelong at her imposing great-uncle.

Xia Mingli’s teacup still hadn’t been put down.

Mrs. Xia took Jiang Zhe’s hand, "Running around outside these past few days, how have you gotten so thin? What would you like to eat for dinner? I’ll have it made for you, to give you a good nourishment."
