"It's okay, I'm just waiting for someone. Her class should be ending soon." Xia Jinyuan sat down. Even his posture resembled that of a soldier. His military cap was placed on his knee cap. He always maintained his military posture, reminding himself that he was a soldier that would never damage the army's reputation.
More importantly, there was physics involved too. By placing your hands on your knee caps, it would form the most stable shape - a triangle. It would be easy to stand up immediately with that posture.
Xia Jinyuan planned to gather more information about Ye Jian before leaving.
The shopkeeper served him his tea enthusiastically. As he sat down, he looked at Xia Jinyuan's appearance and unconsciously straightened his back. After a few words, he tried to break the ice.
"Municipal No.1 Middle School is a good school. There were a total of six students who made it into the top universities. Their reputation is good and many students were struggling to get in. Everyone wants to get into Municipal No.1 Middle School, everyone wants to get the highest degree."
The shopkeeper was bored with tending the store. He would rather have a conversation with this soldier while sipping his tea and introducing the Municipal No.1 Middle School to him.
Xia Jinyuan wanted to know what had happened to Ye Jian, and naturally, he intended to stay on the topic of Municipal No.1 Middle School.
He smiled. "Probably not everyone. Earlier, I went over to the school to look for someone and overheard two parents talking about a student named 'Ye Jian', I think she…"
"Ye Jian was a celebrity in Anyang City some time back." The shopkeeper immediately explained what had happened that day. "Such a pity, it really was a pity. I even went to find last year's papers and she was indeed the one who won the gold medal at the Science Olympiad."
"She had a conflict with the school. She tore her admission notice and left. Children nowadays are so temperamental. She managed to get in and since the school did not cancel her results and still accepted her, she should have just accepted being an associate student. It wouldn't matter as long as she was studying in Municipal No.1 Middle School."
Tore her admission notice? Did not cancel her results? Associate student?
Grasping the main points, Xia Jinyuan probed further for details. After listening to the story, his face became sullen.
His Little Fox was treated unfairly! A proud girl like her would never accept any baseless accusations against her! And she would never let herself be an associate student!
After finishing his cup of tea and understanding the matter, Xia Jinyuan left the small store and took out a mobile phone. Following that, he pressed a few numbers.
"Help me check on one person, Ye Jian, just turned 16 years old. Help me check which school she is studying at in the Southern Province. I will call you back again in ten minutes."
After the phone call, Xia Jinyuan, who had not slept for several consecutive nights, closed his eyes and rested. He did not panic. He was confident that his Little Fox would never drop out of school.
To be able to qualify for the military school, she must study at a high school. It did not matter whether it was a junior high or senior high. As long as she was studying, he could find her with her student number.
In less than ten minutes, the phone rang. The person on the other side said something and Xia Jinyuan's eyes widened. He exclaimed, "All the schools in the province have been checked?"
