Chapter 19 - Top Scholar of the College Entrance Examination
The moment she got out of the car, she saw a poster that was as tall as a person in front of the hotel.
Qin Ran silently read the words on the poster in her heart. She really didn’t understand if a mere 600 points was really worth showing off like this. They celebrated with her classmates, with her family, and Mr. Qin even invited business partners or people who had hopes of becoming business partners to celebrate too.
“Hello, please show your invitation.” The security officer at the door stopped Qin Ran.
Even though she had given up all hope for the Qin family, she didn’t know what to feel after seeing her father holding a celebration party for his adopted daughter, and his biological daughter actually had to show proof to the security guards at the entrance before she could enter.
“My name is Qin Ran. Can I enter?” Upon hearing this, the expression of the security guard at the door changed instantly and he immediately put down his arm. Although he didn’t know the person in front of him, he had heard of a foster daughter from the countryside called Qin Ran.
Qin Ran thanked him and walked in.
“What are you doing here?” Before she met Qin Xue, she was glared at by Mrs. Qin. “If you can admit your mistakes and marry into the Fu family, we won’t really deny you. But today is Xiao Xue’s celebration party. If you cause trouble because you’re jealous of her, I won’t let you off.” Her tone was fierce. In her eyes, Qin Xue was obedient and sensible, while Qin Ran was petty. She naturally had to help Qin Xue teach her elder sister a lesson so that she wouldn’t be bullied.
Qin Ran admired Mrs. Qin very much when it came to being blind. However, she came today to take back the little jade Buddha, so she didn’t want to waste her breath on her.
Qin Xue had yet to show her face, but the banquet had already officially begun. Qin Yang had insisted that she sit with him in the first row. Qin Ran thought that this elder brother of hers had taken care of her in the past half a year, so she could only reluctantly agree. Who knew that as soon as she sat down, Qin Xue would appear as if she wanted to deliberately sit with her and even brought along her little sidekick, Zhang Lan.
It was no wonder. Qin Xue wanted everyone to see the difference between her and her sister. Of course, they had to sit together for comparison.
“Thank you all for coming to my daughter Qin Xue’s celebration party today.” On the stage, after Mr. Qin said all sorts of polite words. He understood that the Qin family’s business was declining day by day. The reason why Mr. Qin held this celebration party was also to use his daughter’s reputation to gain some benefits.
However, an hour later, he regretted his decision.
Several sounds of gongs and drums were heard. A few men in red walked in from the main entrance of the hall, holding congratulatory words like “I wish Student Qin a bright future”, “I wish Student Qin a promising future” and so on. Following that, several outstanding teachers from the high school also entered the hall, and finally, even the principal came.
This scene… was truly domineering.
“Principal?” Qin Xue, who was beside her, questioned in a low voice. She did not invite the principal for her celebration party. Even if she did, the principal who was busy every day might not come. Could it be that her parents gave her a surprise?
“I’m the principal of Student Qin’s high school. Can I speak briefly here?”
Mr. Qin didn’t think too much about it. He only felt that this was a good opportunity for him to show off. He quickly passed the microphone to the principal.
“Good evening, everyone.” The principal bowed slightly. “In Xuanchuan City, almost everyone unanimously believes that our high school is the best high school. We have nurtured batch after batch of outstanding graduates. Every year, after the college entrance examination, almost all of the seniors in the advanced class will be able to get into 985. The worst is 211.”
At this point, the principal actually sighs. “But ever since I became the principal of this high school, I know that my school has a huge regret. Although there are many outstanding students, the strange thing is that there has never been a top scholar for the college entrance examination. So every year, I’ve been waiting, waiting for this top scholar. This year, my wait is over! She’s Student Qin!”
At that moment, the entire venue erupted into thunderous applause. They all looked at Mr. Qin and the daughter of the Qin family with admiration and kept praising them.
“No wonder they held such a grand celebration party.”
“This girl is really amazing. She’s actually the top scholar for the college entrance examination. Her future is limitless.”
“What a good daughter. She really made President Qin more honorable.”
Everyone present only knew that this was Qin Xue’s celebration party for the college entrance examination, but they did not know how many points she had scored.
However, Qin Xue knew! Although she felt that scoring 621 was also very high, she couldn’t be the top scholar of the college entrance examination, right?
“You’ve raised a good daughter!” The principal looked at Mr. Qin and said gratefully.
“It’s all thanks to the tireless teachings of the teachers in the school. You are the main force to nurture her.” Although Mr. Qin spoke humbly, his face was full of pride. He liked his daughter more and more. She was sensible and had brought him honor.
