Chapter 814: Chapter 813: Striving for the Top Three in the High School Entrance Exam
After speaking, he turned and left.
The two of them knocked on the door and entered the office, politely greeting the principal.
“Ah, hello, come in, have a seat here.” The principal looked at the two little geniuses from his school and said with a warm and kind smile.
“Jiang Mianmian, Zhong Yuan, we’re about to have the high school entrance exams. How have your studies been lately? Any problems? Do you need any help from the teachers?” The principal looked at the two with concern.
Jiang Mianmian replied honestly, “Principal, thank you for your concern. My studies are going smoothly, no problems.”
“Principal, I’m doing well too, no help needed,” Zhong Yuan chimed in.
“Hmm, good, as long as there are no problems with your studies.”
After showing concern for their academic situation, the principal continued, “Actually, I called you here today because I have something to discuss. It’s almost May, and the exams are just a few days away. You two are renowned little geniuses in our county, so I hope you can aim for the top twenty in the city-wide exams this time and bring some honor to our school.”
“Top twenty in the city?!” Jiang Mianmian and Zhong Yuan were surprised by the principal’s words, but they each had different thoughts. Latest content publıshed on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
Initially, hearing the principal’s opening, Jiang Mianmian felt a bit nervous, thinking the principal wanted her and Zhong Yuan to take the city exams to compete, but it was just aiming for the top twenty, hence the surprise.
However, after the initial surprise, she breathed a sigh of relief, grateful it wasn’t about being first, considering there are surely high IQ genius students at city high schools.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yuan felt some pressure, as aiming for the top twenty in the city posed a significant challenge for him.
His cousin studied in the city, so he’s acutely aware of the educational gap between the city and the town.
Moreover, there are five junior high schools in Yang City, each with top-notch students, making the competition extremely fierce, and the top twenty spots are almost entirely dominated by those schools.
“Yes, top twenty in the city. Jiang Mianmian, Zhong Yuan, even though this is a city-wide joint exam, I have faith in you. I believe you have the ability, and I hope you strive hard for this.”
The principal nodded seriously first, then encouraged, “The school will award scholarships to students who achieve a good ranking in the exams, and your photos will be posted on the school’s honor roll, making future students proud of you. How about it, do you have the confidence?”
The principal’s words motivated Zhong Yuan, who, filled with enthusiasm, immediately clenched his fists and responded, “Principal, rest assured, I will do my best!”
Although Jiang Mianmian wasn’t as fired up, she nodded earnestly and said, “I will also study hard and strive for good results.”
Now that she’s finished her solar panel project, she can devote all her energy to preparing for the exams, aiming even for a top-three spot herself.
Hearing this, the principal showed a look of satisfaction, “Good, it’s great that you two have such drive and ambition. This is your most crucial year, and you must put in the effort! During this time, if you need anything, you can go to Teacher Chu. I’ve already informed all your subject teachers about this. They will provide tutoring based on your current study progress and weak points and assign homework for you. Visit the teacher’s office during breaks.”
