Chapter 42 7th in the whole province! Tsinghua and Peking Universities are vying to come to their do
The numbers on the electronic calendar on the wall kept changing, eventually settling on June 27th.
This is the big day when the college entrance exam results are released, and the whole internet is waiting to see who the top students are.
Lu Jingchen sat in front of the computer in his study, his expression as indifferent as plain water.
The score inquiry webpage on the screen is loading and spinning, as if there's a bug.
He casually clicked the mouse and refreshed the page.
The next second, the page loaded instantly, and a clear line of numbers popped up.
The close-up shot clearly shows: Total score 708.
Lu Jingchen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"Seven hundred and eight points, which is pretty much what I estimated."
"It didn't backfire, so it's not too bad."
If others heard this, they would definitely call him Versailles.
A total score of 708 in the college entrance examination is definitely at the pinnacle of academic excellence.
Just then, the cell phone on the table suddenly started buzzing.
The note lit up on the screen was none other than Su Muyue.
Lu Jingchen casually picked up his phone, swiped his finger, and answered the call.
I put the phone to my ear, leaned back in my chair, and waited for the other person to speak.
Su Muyue's cheerful voice came through the receiver, with a hint of teasing.
"Lu, you're really something!"
"Seven hundred and one points, plus seventh place in the province, that's absolutely insane!"
Lu Jingchen chuckled lightly upon hearing this, his tone quite casual.
"Hey, it's just good luck, like a blind cat catching a dead mouse."
Su Muyue rolled her eyes on the other end of the phone, speechless.
"Don't be so 'Versailles' here. Seventh in the province is just good luck?"
"Does that mean those of us who scored over 600 are complete academic failures?"
She paused, then asked curiously.
"With your score, admissions officers from Tsinghua, Peking, Fudan, and Shanghai Jiao Tong Universities will be fighting tooth and nail to recruit you."
"Seriously, have you decided which school you're going to? Why don't you give me a heads-up?"
Lu Jingchen spoke slowly, his tone tinged with mystery.
"This matter is still a secret, and I can't say anything about it."
Su Muyue immediately became unhappy, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness.
"Good grief, you're keeping me in suspense, aren't you?"
"Unlike me, although I'm guaranteed admission to Jiangzhou University, I still need to carefully consider what major to choose."
"I'm so stressed out. Choosing a major is even harder than taking the college entrance exam."
Lu Jingchen was amused by her and couldn't help but make a teasing remark.
"Su Banhua, your grandfather bought my jade pendant for five million without batting an eye."
"What do you study, and how does it even matter? If your family is rich, why would you be worried about this?"
Upon hearing this, Su Muyue burst into hearty laughter.
"That's true, we shouldn't try to get into those overly popular majors."
"I can basically choose any other major; I'm not afraid at all."
Lu Jingchen smiled and shook his head, then chatted with her for a couple more minutes.
He hung up the phone casually and tossed it onto the table.
I know perfectly well that I won't have any peace and quiet for the next few days.
Admissions officers from top universities flocked to them like wolves smelling meat.
Night slowly fell, and the streetlights outside the window came on.
The sound of a key turning came from the entryway, and the door was gently pushed open.
Lu Qingyuan, carrying a heavy schoolbag, pushed open the door and walked in.
His face looked tired; he must have been exhausted from a long day of evening study.
She had just changed her shoes when she looked up and saw Lu Jingchen sitting on the sofa in the living room.
He was looking down as he packed a few changes of clothes into his backpack.
Lu Jingchen looked up at her and gave her some instructions.
"Little sister, during this time, no matter who asks you where I am..."
"You've always said I went on a trip to relax, you know?"
Lu Qingyuan suddenly stopped changing her shoes, and froze.
She looked up at Lu Jingchen with a blank expression and exclaimed "Ah!"
"Huh? Bro, what are you doing?"
Lu Jingchen put the folded clothes into his backpack, his tone extremely serious.
"My phone will be turned off during this period."
"If you're looking for me, just go home. I'll stay here."
Lu Qingyuan panicked instantly, and all the fatigue on her face vanished.
Instead, he was filled with worry, his brows furrowed into knots.
"Brother, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"No...no, it's not going to disappear suddenly like before, is it?"
She was terrified during the months Lu Jingchen was missing, and upon hearing this, she nearly lost her mind.
Seeing this, Lu Jingchen put down the clothes in his hands.
He walked over, reached out and ruffled Lu Qingyuan's hair, smiling helplessly.
"Silly girl, what are you thinking? What are you thinking?"
He explained with a smile, "I just know who the admissions officers at those prestigious universities will be next."
"They'll definitely come knocking on the door to recruit students, buzzing around like flies, it's so annoying."
"I just want to hide away for a few days and have some peace and quiet so that my ears can finally have some peace and quiet."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyuan instantly understood and breathed a huge sigh of relief.
He clutched his chest, patted it, and looked terrified.
"Oh, I see! That scared me to death!"
"I thought you were going off on another adventure, doing something dangerous!"
She rolled her eyes and gave Lu Jingchen a reproachful look.
"Brother, could you please finish your sentence in one go next time? You startled me!"
"So what if you're just hiding from the admissions officers? No problem, I've got you covered!"
"If anyone asks me, I'll insist you've gone on vacation and won't be back for two weeks!"
Lu Jingchen was amused by her cute appearance and ruffled her hair.
"Alright, then I'll leave this to you. My peace and quiet depends on you."
Lu Qingyuan patted her chest and made a solemn promise.
"Don't worry! I guarantee I'll complete the mission! I'll keep it a complete secret!"
"Don't even mention professors from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, even if the university president himself came, I wouldn't reveal a single word!"
The next morning, the sky was blue and the clouds were white; the weather was unbelievably good.
The golf course at Guanlan International Club is covered in lush green grass that stretches as far as the eye can see.
Jiang Zhenbang, dressed in a custom-made white tracksuit, stood on the service table.
He swung his club with grace and precision, his movements were incredibly swift.
The white golf ball traced a perfect parabola through the air and landed far away on the fairway.
The caddie next to him quickly stepped forward and handed him a towel and water.
Just then, Ali quickly walked over from the side.
His face was full of excitement, and he was still clutching his phone tightly in his hand.
Ali sidled up to Jiang Zhenbang, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement.
"Boss! That Mr. Lu is absolutely amazing!"
"This is simply divine!"
Jiang Zhenbang took the towel and slowly wiped the sweat from his hands.
His tone was casual, as if he didn't take it too seriously.
"Oh? How impressive is it? What big commotion have you caused this time?"
Ali immediately gave a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.
The provincial college entrance examination rankings are out!
"Mr. Lu ranked seventh in the entire province! He's definitely a top-tier academic genius!"
Jiang Zhenbang's hand, which was wiping sweat, suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the nonchalant look on his face vanished instantly.
He snatched the phone from Ali and stared intently at the screen.
In the close-up shot, the phone screen displays a screenshot of the college entrance examination score rankings.
Lu Jingchen's name was prominently listed, ranking seventh in the province with a total score of 708, clearly stated.
Jiang Zhenbang's pupils contracted slightly, his face filled with undisguised surprise.
"He's actually a top student... Just how many more talents does this kid have that I don't know about?"
