Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again Chapter 72 - 47: No. 2 High School Announces College Entranc

Qin Shiqing scored so high, she could have easily gone to Tsinghua or Peking University. What a pity!

Old Guo felt a bit regretful.

If the class he taught produced a top student for Tsinghua or Peking, how impressive that would be!

Fortunately, there’s still Su Zelin to make up for it. This student, who was a bit of a slacker, was definitely a pleasant surprise for Old Guo.

The English teacher, Lisa, was beaming with joy.

Now she could openly declare to the public that she was the ntor of the top scorer in the English subject for the college entrance exam. Not only did this earn her face, but this record was also incredibly useful for her professional title evaluation.

Before the third practice exam, she never had any hopes for Su Zelin, focusing entirely on her prized student, who was also the English class representative, Qin Shiqing.

The unexpected turn was that this student suddenly rose to the occasion and beca the top scorer with a perfect score in the entrance exam.

Qin Shiqing didn’t do badly either, scoring over 140!

It’s worth noting that Second High School had never produced a top scorer with a perfect English score before.

For two students in Class One to simultaneously score over 140 was also a first, so Lisa was very proud.

After a while, the leaders from the education departnt arrived leisurely, followed by reporters from the TV station.

Every year, the top few students from Jianglan City in the college entrance exam receive awards and get on TV to be broadcast on the local channel, which is why the school’s leadership all attended, dressed formally— even Old Guo, who usually preferred wearing a T-shirt in the sumr, made a point of putting on a shirt today.

The TV station reporters set up the cara, adjusted the angle, and signaled that they were ready. Following protocol, Principal Cao Jinliang, as the host, began to speak.

He first thanked the education departnt leaders, stating that it was under the correct guidance of the education bureau’s policies that Second High School could continuously improve and prosper.

These were all courteous words, and Cao Jinliang didn’t say much to avoid stealing the spotlight from the leaders.

The leaders then took the stage and made official speeches, affirming the educational standards of Second High School and praising Qin Shiqing and Su Zelin, encouraging both of them to beco pillars of the nation in the future, and so on.

Even though the key points were just those two, the leader still spoke for a relatively long ti.

After all, he was going to be on TV and needed to show his best.

Qin Shiqing listened earnestly, while Su Zelin was extrely bored, even yawning.

He had stayed up late reading a novel last night, almost till midnight, so he was feeling a bit sleepy now.

If not for the cash prize, just an award certificate or sothing, he wouldn’t have planned to co at all.

Seeing this, Qin Shiqing secretly pinched the slacker’s thigh under the table, signaling him to respect the leader, and also reminding him that the TV station was filming and not to embarrass himself when it airs.

After the leaders’ lengthy speech, the administrative office eting room was filled with thunderous applause. Su Zelin also clapped a few tis, finally getting into the spirit.

Because the award ceremony was about to begin, the school only ntioned there would be a bonus, but didn’t specify the amount.

Hopefully, it’s not just two hundred yuan along with a banner!

Both of them then went on stage, and the leader took two envelopes out of the briefcase.

Su Zelin’s eyes imdiately lit up.

Because these two envelopes seed quite thick, he guessed the smaller one had at least two thousand, while the larger one had five thousand.

Getting two thousand wouldn’t be bad, haha, this trip wasn’t in vain.

What surprised Su Zelin was that Qin Shiqing got the smaller envelope, while he got the larger one.

In terms of college entrance exam achievent, Qin Shiqing actually scored much higher than the slacker.

However, she didn’t get into Tsinghua or Peking, so despite her high score, it didn’t have much hype.

Su Zelin, on the other hand, was a single-subject top scorer, and it sounded good when ntioned, especially since he scored a perfect score, which was full of hype. Therefore, he instead got the larger bonus, which delighted the slacker.

In a past life, this amount would be gone after buying a few packs of cigarettes, but now he really needed it.

Both of them gave speeches, with Qin Shiqing being well-prepared, while Su Zelin improvised. Having been a CEO of a major company in his past life, he had seen his fair share of grand occasions, so this small-scale event was no challenge at all, and he didn’t need a draft at all.

The school’s leadership was very pleased with the performances of the two student representatives.

Qin Shiqing was very composed, enunciated clearly, and her speech was well-written.

As for Su Zelin, despite his young age, he surprisingly gave off an aura of maturity and calmness, with his psychological composure in front of the leaders and the TV station reporters being exceptionally good. He didn’t look like a high school graduate at all, but instead gave the impression of a seasoned veteran with decades of social experience.

Old Guo kept nodding as he listened below.

Although this student didn’t perform well in class, he had high hopes for his future.

Su Zelin, this kid, will definitely do well when he steps into society in the future, possibly achieving greater heights than those top students who got into prestigious schools!

After the award ceremony, Old Guo and Lisa also had a brief opportunity to speak, though it was just to make an appearance and boost their presence, each only getting a minute or two, but they were satisfied.

As the ceremony concluded, the principal escorted the administrative staff, leaders, and TV crew out.

Old Guo and Lisa found Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing.

"Qin Shiqing, Su Zelin, you guys really brought glory to , Old Guo, this ti. Thanks to you, I’ve been on TV!"

The horoom teacher enthusiastically comnted.

"Teacher Guo, it was under the insightful teaching of all the teachers!"

Qin Shiqing quickly replied.

"Qin Shiqing, there’s no need for modesty. In my years of teaching, you’ve been one of the most diligent and outstanding students I’ve ever seen!"

Lisa smiled as she praised her prized student, then added, "And Su Zelin, your talent is truly remarkable!"

Lisa ant what she said sincerely.

She had never seen a student like Su Zelin before.

In English class, he was constantly distracted, never actively studying, yet such a person scored a perfect mark on the English entrance exam—can you believe it?

Besides talent, there’s no other explanation!

Lisa was well aware that this was hardly her own achievent.

Speaking of any special attention she had given to Su Zelin, it was after the third practice exam results ca out that she gave him so exercises from prestigious schools.

However, Su Zelin hadn’t even looked at those exercises.

"Teacher Lisa, only a distinguished teacher like you can produce such outstanding students!"

Su Zelin shalessly crowned himself as an outstanding student, while also flattering Old Guo and Lisa.

During the award presentation, he specifically ntioned both of them, which made them very happy, thinking that this student was sensible and knew how to handle situations.

After chatting with Old Guo and Lisa for a while, the two left the administrative building.

On his way ho on his bike, Su Zelin felt both happy and worried.

Happy because he received a bonus of five thousand yuan, which was more than he expected, but worried because he would be in the sa city as Qin Shiqing once he went to college.

Su Zelin was really worried that with such close proximity, he wouldn’t be able to control himself and would end up flirting with her.

This can’t go on!

From now on, I need to keep my distance from her!

"What are you thinking about? Do you have a problem with going to Lin’an with ?"

Qin Shiqing seed to see through his thoughts.

"Su Zelin, am I bothering you?"

"Who said you’re not bothering !"

Su Zelin retorted.

"How am I bothering you?"

Qin Shiqing asked rhetorically.

"In high school, you were like a surveillance cara for my parents, constantly reporting on . If I’m in college and you keep an eye on , and sothing like flirting with girls or drinking reaches your ears, you’ll probably tell my parents, and yet you say you’re not bothering !"

Su Zelin grumbled, pedaling hard to overtake his childhood companion, quickly leaving her behind.

Watching the gradually distant figure, Qin Shiqing’s lips curled up slightly.

If I hadn’t heard what you said that night after you got drunk, maybe I would have believed you.
