Even after a week, there was still no response.
Song Wanqiu could only bring Rong Si to the recruitment office again. She found the staff member and said, “Hello, we filled out the application form last week. Has the review been completed?”
The staff member looked at her beautiful face and coughed lightly. “It is…”
Song Wanqiu stared at him and immediately asked, “What’s the result? My son doesn’t have the same scores, right?”
The staff member furrowed his eyebrows. “What are you talking about? Your son, Rong Si, right? The scores are still the same. There are no mistakes. Nowadays, it’s basically a computer marking the papers. The error rate is very low, so low that it’s almost impossible to make a mistake. If a person marks the papers, the possibility of making a mistake is very high.”
Song Wanqiu was stunned again.
How could it be?
Could it be that Ah Si really received that score?
He failed?
However, ever since her son was young, he had never scored poorly. Only in the three years of high school did that happen. However, Rong Si had told her that it was the principal who asked him to be less ostentatious and lower his scores. That was why he had deliberately scored so low.
However, every day after coming back from school, Rong Si would study hard. He did every set of papers for the college entrance examination. He had worked so hard; she couldn’t believe that he had failed.
Rong Si did not speak. His dark eyes were fixed on the staff member, his fingers clenched tightly by his side.
The staff member got goosebumps from his gaze. He was already feeling a little guilty, and now, he felt even more uncomfortable.
For some reason, the child’s gaze was cold, as if he had no emotions.
Under his stare, the staff member felt like he had been thrown into an ice house. His entire being was surrounded by coldness. Aside from the coldness, the look in the boy’s eyes was also very deep as if he could see through everything.
It made him uncomfortable.
The staff member could only chase them away. “Alright, alright. The results are out. It’s time for you to accept reality. Go back, don’t look so down. You can find a better school or repeat a year, then sit for the exam again. Anyway, your son is still young. He’s not even 18 yet. He can still study for another year. It doesn’t matter.”
“It doesn’t matter?! How can you say that it doesn’t matter? Do you have the final say?!” Song Wanqiu was suddenly agitated. Her eyes were red from fury.
He made it sound so easy for Rong Si to repeat a year. He never thought about what a year means to a person. Life is so short. How many years could Ah Si waste?
Also, does he understand how tough and stressful it’s to repeat a year?
“I know very well how my son’s grades are and how he studied. Even if you say that there’s no problem with his grades, I still won’t believe it unless I see the exam paper with my own eyes!
“Also, you better be telling the truth. If I find out that you’re up to no good, I won’t let this matter rest even if I have to risk my life!”
Song Wanqiu’s voice was powerful, and her slender figure seemed to be full of strength.
The staff member didn’t expect her to fly into a rage. Her gaze was so firm that it shocked him. It was as if she really wanted to fight him to the death. He hurriedly said, “What do you mean ‘if I’m up to no good’? That’s illegal, and I’ll be put in jail, okay? Why would I do something so stupid?
“Also, your son did receive that score. You might not believe it, but many people failed the college entrance examination. All of them also think that they’re good, but in fact, they’re not.. Don’t overestimate him.”
