Chapter 157: Chapter 115: Good News! Dali Promotion!

Sanjiang High School.

Because it was the day when the college entrance exam results were announced, Wang Guangqing was rather nervous.

For a high school leader like him, the admission rate was almost his “lifeline”.

Although the evaluation of school leaders by higher authorities considers many aspects, such as improvement in teaching quality, standardized teaching management, teacher team building, and campus safety management.

But none of these aspects are as direct as “improvement in teaching quality,” and how is improvement in teaching quality demonstrated?

Of course, it’s the admission rate!

So, even though the slogans are shouted countless times in various ways.

In the end, it all comes down to the admission rate!

And today, for Principal Wang Guangqing, it was also considered an annual “performance evaluation”.

If this year’s admission rate is good, his life could be much better for the coming year.

Otherwise, it’s hard to say; if the admission rate drops too drastically, there’s even a risk of being transferred to a lower-level school.

For example, right now, Wang Guangqing is the principal of Sanjiang High School, a key city high school. If he doesn’t do well, he might be transferred to an ordinary high school as a principal.

Although the position remains as principal, the treatment between a regular high school and a key high school is not the same.

“Leader, great news!”

Just as Wang Guangqing was anxiously waiting for this year’s exam results, Xu Decai ran into his office, even forgetting to knock on the door.

“What happened?”

Wang Guangqing glanced at the time; it was just after ten, still a while to go before the results were out.

“Shen Qiushan is this year’s top scorer in liberal arts for our province!”

Xu Decai said excitedly.

“What?!”

“Shen Qiushan has become the top scorer!”

Wang Guangqing was shocked, jumping up from his seat, and asked incredulously, “Where did you hear this from?”

“A call from the Education Department just came in, saying they’re going to Shen Qiushan’s home this afternoon to give a reward, and they want us from the school to send a few people as well.”

Xu Decai reported truthfully.

“Top scorer!”

“Our school actually produced a top scorer!!”

Wang Guangqing’s eyes widened, nearly jumping with excitement.

He had been working in high school for over twenty years, more than ten of which had been in school leadership positions, and neither in the schools he previously worked at nor at the currently employed Sanjiang High School had ever produced a provincial top scorer in the college entrance exam!

Not to mention a provincial top scorer, they hadn’t even had a city-level top scorer before!

And this time, they directly produced someone like Shen Qiushan, a provincial top scorer, which could be considered a highlight of his career.

“I really didn’t expect Old Shen to do so well!”

“Although his scores in the last two mock exams were very high, mock exams are just mock exams, who would have thought he’d do so well in the real exam!”

Xu Decai was also full of excitement and sighed.

Upon learning that Shen Qiushan became the province’s top scorer in liberal arts, he also breathed a sigh of relief, because it was then him who processed Shen Qiushan’s temporary enrollment qualifications.

And now that Shen Qiushan has become the top scorer, he’s already thought of bragging at the dining table in the future!

Without me, Xu Decai, there wouldn’t be a top scorer Shen Qiushan in the college entrance exam!

The 38-year-old top scorer was created single-handedly by me, Xu Decai…

In short, Xu Decai felt he could boast about this for a lifetime.

“The Education Department wants us to send a few people from our school, right?”

“Yes, you and I, along with Shen Qiushan’s homeroom teacher, Teacher Chen!”

“Alright, go inform Teacher Chen.”

“Never mind, let’s go together, let the teachers of the senior class share in the joy.”

Instead of enjoying alone, it’s better to share with everyone, and at this point, Wang Guangqing was eager to share the joy of having a top scorer from the school with others.

So, he personally went to the senior class office.

“Oh, right, Leader, Fudan University’s admissions office just called the school, saying they can’t contact Shen Qiushan and asked us for his contact information!”

As they walked out of the principal’s office, Xu Decai spoke again.

Because they couldn’t reach Shen Qiushan by phone.

Fudan University’s admissions office directly called Sanjiang High School.

“Fudan?”

“They have high hopes!”

Actually, in previous years, the top few students in Sanjiang High School were usually at the level of Fudan or Nanda universities.

During bad times, there might not even be anyone in the whole school who could get into Fudan.

But this year is different, Shen Qiushan is a top scorer in liberal arts and can choose any university in the country, making Fudan less attractive in such a situation.

Senior class office.

Even though the college entrance exam was over, the senior year teachers still had to go to work, it’s not like they had nothing to do.

Especially today, as it was the day when the college entrance exam results were announced, it was a big day for the senior year teachers.

Each class’s homeroom teacher was particularly attentive, as the exam results of the students inevitably affected their bonuses and future evaluations.

“I wonder how many points Old Shen will score this time?”

“If he can perform like he did in the mock exams, he’d still be our school’s number one in history!”

After the college entrance exam was over, there weren’t many teaching tasks, so the senior year teachers were quite relaxed, and as the time for the exam results approached, they chatted about the students’ performances in the office.

The person speaking now is Zhang Xia, the head teacher of Class 2 in Grade 12. Ever since the chubby Zhou Yu mentioned introducing Shen Qiushan to her, Teacher Zhang has been paying extra attention to Shen Qiushan.

Unfortunately, after the mock exam livestream incident, Shen Qiushan’s entire image and demeanor seemed to have “ascended,” and Zhang Xia, who originally thought she could still match him, lost that confidence.

After all, Old Shen’s looks are too outstanding, and he also has the capability to get into a ’985’ university.

“If Old Shen can maintain his mock exam level, not only will he be the first in our school’s history category, but he could also be the top art student!”

Math teacher Sun Xing exclaimed.

“Being the top student is unlikely; this year’s exam paper is still quite difficult, plus the mock exam and the real exam are entirely different.”

“Exactly, Old Sun, you’re exaggerating. If our school produces a top art student, those top students from Experimental and Second High would cry their eyes out!”

Two teachers refuted Sun Xing’s point.

At this moment, Chen Xiangyu, who hadn’t spoken, chimed in, “Last year, the top art student in our province scored 694!”

“If Old Shen can perform at the level of his mock exam, there’s still a chance!”

Of course, Chen Xiangyu wholeheartedly supported her old flame.

Even though she also felt that Shen Qiushan becoming the top candidate is quite fantastical, looking at the mock exam scores, there’s indeed a chance.

“Teacher Chen, you know how hard last year’s exam was.”

“There’s no comparison!”

The teacher who rebutted Sun Xing refuted Chen Xiangyu again.

Just after he finished speaking, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

All the teachers’ eyes instinctively turned to the door, and they quickly stood up.

“Principal!”

“Director Xu…”

Everyone greeted them, but their eyes were full of confusion.

It’s normal for Xu Decai to come to the Grade 12 office; he often comes to notify about work matters.

But Wang Guangqing doesn’t come to the Grade 12 office even once a year.

After all, he’s the head of the school; he just needs to notify about work or hold a meeting in the conference room; there’s no need for him to be here personally.

“Everyone, no need to be nervous. I’m just here to deliver some news.”

Seeing everyone’s serious expressions, Wang Guangqing immediately smiled and waved his hand.

However, as soon as he said that, everyone became even more puzzled.

What matter requires you, the principal, to notify personally?

Wang Guangqing cleared his throat, glanced over to Chen Xiangyu, and loudly announced, “Shen Qiushan has become this year’s top art student in our province with a score of 709!”

Wow!!

The moment Wang Guangqing finished his sentence.

The office erupted in excitement.

“Top student? Old Shen really became the top student!”

“Our school actually produced a top college entrance exam student? Is it real or fake!”

“Am I now the math teacher of a top student? It feels like a dream!”

“Teacher Li, didn’t you just say it’s impossible! What do you say now?”

“Old Shen is too incredible! He actually scored 709!”

To this group of teachers who have experienced numerous college entrance exams, producing a top student is truly shocking.

Especially since this top student is Shen Qiushan, a 38-year-old older continuing education student!

Wang Guangqing was very satisfied with the teachers’ reactions. This was the effect he wanted; otherwise, wouldn’t his trip have been in vain?

“Principal, is Shen Qiushan really the top student?”

Chen Xiangyu was stunned for a long time before regaining her composure. Even though she had been speaking for Shen Qiushan, she didn’t actually think he could become the top student.

After all, there are so many candidates across the province. With countless top students, the chance of becoming the top student seemed too slim.

“Is there such a thing as a fake top student?”

Wang Guangqing smiled, waved his hand, and continued, “This was notified by the education bureau. They said that in the afternoon, leaders will visit Shen Qiushan’s house to present him with awards. Teacher Chen, you’re going to accompany them!”

“Ah?”

“Alright!”

Chen Xiangyu was first surprised, then quickly nodded.

She hadn’t expected that she would be able to go with the education bureau leaders to present awards to her old flame.

After all, she had never been to Shen Qiushan’s house.

“Teacher Chen, prepare yourself well. There will likely be media interviews. As the head teacher, you should say a few words.”

Wang Guangqing reminded her again and then left the Grade 12 office, feeling quite satisfied.

“Teacher Chen, I’ll call you when it’s time to go.”

Xu Decai gestured a phone call to Chen Xiangyu, and then quickly followed in Wang Guangqing’s footsteps, “Leader, should we notify the Youth League Committee to hang a banner at the school gate?”

“Should we also publish this great news on the school’s website and social media platforms?”

“Yes!”

Wang Guangqing nodded and instructed, “Notify everyone; this good news must be extensively publicized!”

“Didn’t the Sanjiang Evening News have that reporter who criticized Shen Qiushan and our school every day? Let him open his eyes and have a good look!”

“Old Shen is now the top college entrance exam student!”
