Xiao Rui left Yiming Xuan with her father and mother.
She was very unhappy to leave like this, having just met the person she had been longing for.
However, she dared not show the slightest sign of displeasure on her face.
This was because she saw that her mother’s face was as cold as frost.
After walking for some time, Xiao Rui’s mother, Wan Hongying, stopped.
Xiao Rui stood obediently opposite her, not daring to breathe.
Xiao Rui’s father, however, said in a gentle tone, "Don't be like this, we are still on the street."
But it was clear that Wan Hongying could not wait any longer; her patience had run out.
"Xiao Rui, you need to know your identity. Your father and I are both respectable people, and those who can play with you should naturally be the children of respectable families."
As for that young man working as a waiter in the restaurant, he was not worthy!
Xiao Rui wanted to retort, but in the end, she did not speak.
Although she felt deep down that the person she longed for would definitely become a student at Seventh Middle School, she dared not say anything when facing her mother’s frosty face.
Three days later was the start of the school year.
On this day, university also started, and Shen Zizhen had no time to look after them.
Fortunately, Chen Zi’an was free in the morning, so he took them directly to Seventh Middle School.
When they left, they brought their tuition fees, ready to register directly.
At the entrance of Seventh Middle School, a large red paper displayed the results of the students who participated in the entrance examination.
Su Xiaotian was confident about her exam results, so she chose to read from front to back instead of back to front.
She had originally thought that she would undoubtedly be the first place. With four papers and a total score of four hundred, even if she couldn't get full marks, she should have been around three hundred and ninety.
But the first name she saw was Du Yonghe, with an exam score of 346.
This surprised Su Xiaotian. The first place only had 346 points, and it wasn't her. So what was her score?
With a doubtful heart, Su Xiaotian continued to look down. After seeing more than forty names, she still hadn't found her own.
And the scores of more than forty people had dropped to 296.
Su Xiaotian did not believe her score would be so bad.
What made her feel even stranger was that the names of Su Xiao eight and Su Xiao nine had not been found yet.
"Xiaotian, did you find it?" Su Xiao eight was panicking.
He had been confident before, but now he almost completely negated himself.
But he also felt that there was something wrong with this score.
It shouldn't be like this. Even if he and Xiao Jiu's scores were not outstanding, Xiaotian's score would definitely not be a problem.
Xiao Jiu also looked at Su Xiaotian. He had not found their three names either.
Su Xiaotian shook her head.
She looked at the list, then at her two brothers, and said, "Let's keep looking!"
At this moment, Su Xiao six and Su Xiao seven, who were looking at the list from another side, had already rushed over to find them.
"Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, did you find it?" Su Xiaotian asked with a serious little face when she saw them coming.
Although she said she would keep looking, she had already guessed what had happened.
Their scores had either been replaced or directly erased.
As expected, Su Xiao six and Su Xiao seven both shook their heads.
"Did you not get admitted or can't find your scores?" Su Xiaotian asked.
"Our names are not there. Yi Yuan's score is there, and he is first overall!" Su Xiao six said to Su Xiao seven.
Meanwhile, Chi Yi Yuan had also walked over with a cold face.
His score was not a problem, but he was sure that there must be a problem with Su Xiao six and Su Xiao seven's scores.
"We haven't found our names either, and Xiaotian's name is not there!" Su Xiao nine said.
At this point, everyone's expression was not quite right.
Just then, Xiao Rui walked over and looked at them with great pride.
"See, country bumpkins are just country bumpkins, still thinking of coming to the capital to study."
Su Xiaotian and the others felt that Xiao Rui's words were unpleasant, but they did not retort.
What could a few scoldings do? It wouldn't hurt them, would it?
"Just a country bumpkin from the northwest, you really think you're talented? Look, you don't even have your scores, do you?"
"I advise you not to waste your time here. A school like Seventh Middle School will not accept people like you!"
"It is important to know oneself. Don't always have unrealistic dreams! Otherwise, you will fall very, very hard!"
After saying this, she smiled triumphantly, even looking at Chi Yi Yuan with a hint of smugness.
Chen Zi’an, who had been waiting for the children at the back, suddenly sensed that something was wrong with these children.
He quickly walked over and asked, "What happened?"
"Uncle, we can't find our scores!"
Su Xiao nine's eyes were almost tearful, but he bravely held back.
"What do you mean?" Chen Zi’an did not expect such a thing to happen.
How could the children's scores be missing for no reason?
"We looked carefully, and none of our five names appeared on the list."
Chen Zi’an was silent for a moment and said, "Let's go directly to the school to find out!"
His cold expression was quite intimidating.
"Uncle, will it be useful?" Su Xiaotian asked hesitantly.
"We have to try. Although we have no connections in the capital, things can be done through effort!"
Chen Zi’an, being a soldier, had an unyielding spirit ingrained in his bones.
At this moment, he even thought that if it didn't work out, he would find the old chief. The problem could be solved, and the children's education should not be delayed.
"Even if you go and look, there will be no results. Why humiliate yourselves?" Xiao Rui said loudly. "Country people from a small place in the northwest, how can you possibly do better than others when taking exams in the capital?"
The surrounding people, hearing Xiao Rui's words, looked at them with a strange expression.
Chen Zi’an and the others ignored Xiao Rui's words and went directly into the campus of Seventh Middle School, quickly finding the principal's office.
The principal, Gu Liren, was a man in his forties with a slightly receding hairline.
Seeing a middle-aged man with a group of children appear in his office, he frowned first.
"Who are you?" Principal Gu's tone was not very good.
He thought they were here to plead because they hadn't passed.
This time, he had no intention of giving anyone a chance to plead.
He planned to make this class a calling card, letting everyone know that Seventh Middle School was unparalleled.
"I am a parent of a candidate!" Chen Zi’an said sternly.
Principal Guo showed a look of "as expected."
Indeed, they were here to plead because they hadn't passed!
"The results have already been posted. You can check the results on the red list. We have many applicants this time and few admissions. If you haven't passed, continue to study hard and don't think about unrealistic things."
Principal Gu's words were very sharp.
Chen Zi’an asked, "My children here all participated in your school's entrance examination, but when we looked at the list just now, their names were not on it."
Since they had come to inquire, Chen Zi’an did not intend to let it go easily.
Principal Gu was somewhat surprised to hear Chen Zi’an say this.
Even with the worst results, even a score of zero, their names should appear on the list. How could their names be missing?
"Are you telling the truth?" Principal Gu felt that there might have been a problem in some环节.
But then he thought, if there was a problem in a环节, it could only be with one child. How could so many children have problems?
Could it be that these children did not participate in the exam at all?
Principal Gu's mind quickly ran through countless possibilities, but none of them seemed likely.
"Of course, it's true. Xiaotian, take out your admission tickets!" Chen Zi’an said in a low voice.
Su Xiaotian and her siblings quickly took out their admission tickets from their bags.
Principal Gu took the admission tickets with suspicion and took a look. He remembered that these children were not from the capital.
They were children from a small county in the northwest. He had paid attention to them when they registered because of their special circumstances.
Principal Gu suspected that these children had poor academic performance and therefore did not pass.
"Are you sure your names are not on the results list?"
"Principal, we looked for all six of us, and none of our names were found."
"None of your six names?" Principal Gu asked.
"Mine is there. We took the exam together. The three of us took the exam for the second year of high school, and they took the exam for the gifted class." Chi Yi Yuan stepped forward and said.
"What is your name?" Principal Gu asked. "Since your score is not a problem, why did you come together?"
"Principal, my name is Chi Yi Yuan. We came together because we are all like brothers and sisters."
Chi Yi Yuan?
Principal Gu instantly remembered this person. This was the first place in the second-year high school examination this time.
His scores were excellent. Principal Gu had seen his papers and was amazed.
"So you are Chi Yi Yuan. Very good, very good!" Principal Gu did not hesitate to praise him, showing full admiration.
"Principal, we are not here today to discuss my issues, but to discuss why their names are not on the list." Chi Yi Yuan added.
Chen Zi’an did not speak.
Principal Gu clearly did not expect this student to speak to him so boldly.
Although good students who ranked first were rare, Principal Gu truly disliked students who did not know how to respect their teachers and show filial piety.
Su Xiaotian said crisply, "Principal, I request to check my score!"
Principal Gu was even more surprised. A little girl dared to ask to check her score with such confidence. How confident was this child in herself?
Students from the remote northwest, even if they performed well locally, could they possibly outperform students from the capital?
"Your scores probably weren't very good, so they were missed!"
Although Principal Gu was impatient with these people, because Chi Yi Yuan, the first-place student, was present, he spoke politely.
Su Xiaotian could not help but sneer.
The way he said it, without even seeing the papers, he immediately concluded that they were missed due to poor scores.
"Principal, we request an explanation for this matter!" Chen Zi’an was also very angry and spoke very impolitely.
Principal Gu was so angry that he almost fell over.
This family was truly arrogant.
With their attitude, even if their scores were good, it would be useless.
Principal Gu cast a cold gaze at Chi Yi Yuan.
His scores were good, but it was a pity!
"The test papers cannot be checked. Please leave!" Principal Gu did not want to talk to these people anymore, so he simply asked them to leave.
He had decided that if Chi Yi Yuan continued to make a fuss, he would simply not accept him either.
He was just a student!
"Has the principal made a decision?" Chen Zi’an asked this question, his voice chilling.
Chen Zi’an had not intended to say more, but the principal's attitude made him very uncomfortable.
Principal Gu felt a moment of fear, but quickly calmed down.
They were just a few students from a small place, and their scores were probably not very good. They had no power.
Why should he be afraid?
"I have decided!" Principal Gu said.
Chen Zi’an stopped talking. He strode towards Principal Gu's desk, picked up the phone on the desk, and dialed.
"What are you doing?" Principal Gu was busy.
Chen Zi’an was very fast. Before Principal Gu could react, he had already dialed the phone.
Principal Gu wanted to stop him, but Chen Zi’an blocked him.
"Wait for me to make a phone call. I'll leave the phone charges for you!"
Chen Zi’an's words made Principal Gu feel very wronged. Was this about phone charges?
Principal Gu wanted to hang up the phone forcibly, but Chen Zi’an, with his military training, and Principal Gu, a scholar, were not on the same level in terms of physical strength.
"Old Chief, hello, this is Zi’an."
Clearly, the phone on the other end had been connected.
Hearing Chen Zi’an call out "Old Chief," Principal Gu shivered.
Anyone who could be called a Chief was not ordinary.
Could it be that these people had some background?
"It's like this, I'm calling you today about the Su family's children..."
Chen Zi’an quickly recounted the incident.
Principal Gu listened from the side, feeling that something was not right, but he couldn't figure out what.
"Okay, Old Chief, I'll let the principal take the phone!"
Principal Gu was already a bit flustered at this moment, but hearing Chen Zi’an tell him to take the phone made him even more nervous.
He didn't even know who was on the other end of the phone.
"Comrade, who is the Chief on the other end of the phone?" Principal Gu asked this question, trembling.
"You'll know when you answer the phone!" Chen Zi’an did not want to say more to this confused principal.
Principal Gu answered the phone nervously, breaking out in a sweat.
"Comrade, I will arrange for someone to investigate the issue with the test papers immediately." Principal Gu's attitude became much more humble.
He did not expect that these few children from the northwest would have such a powerful figure behind them.
What's more, the person on the other end did not explicitly tell him to admit the children, but rather to thoroughly investigate the test papers and see what exactly had gone wrong.
