As he said that, he reflexively turned to Qiao Weimin and Shen Qiongzhi with a puzzled expression as if he was asking: ‘Qiao Nian has such good grades and will definitely win honor for you in the future. Why did you send her away and make her find her biological parents? Are you sick?’
Qiao Weimin’s lips twitched, revealing a bitter expression. He dared not look into the eyes of the rest of the relatives.
He regretted it.
He truly regretted it.
In fact, as early as two or three months ago, when he knew that Qiao Nian had a good relationship with Yuan Yongqin of Cheng Feng Corporation, he already regretted it.
It was just that he assumed it was a fluke back then. He thought about how he had watched Qiao Nian grow up since she was a child. Qiao Nian’s grades had always been tepid. Besides her beautiful appearance, she was also cold and introverted and spoke few words. She was also always looking at him with those dark eyes. Eventually, he got swayed by what Shen Qiongzhi and his mom said about her.
They said that Qiao Nian did not have a promising future and that Chen Chen was the hope of the Qiao Family.
Now, Qiao Nian, who was kicked out of the house by them, scored 650 points, and dozens of colleges and universities ran to First High School to look for her.
What about Chen Chen? With the connections their family provided and the enrichment lessons, she scored 589.
According to Professor Cheng Wu, the results of the Qing University entrance examination would be announced tomorrow, on the day of Chen Chen’s school promotion party.
They were really going to be slapped in the face with humiliation at the party!
Not only would they lose the joy, but also their faces.
But the guests had been invited, how could they possibly cancel it now?
No matter how embarrassed they were, they had to bite the bullet and finish the party tomorrow.
Cheng Wu heard what the Third Uncle had said. He pursed the corners of his mouth and corrected his expression rigorously. “Student Qiao Nian’s grade is not as simple as being a provincial top scorer. A provincial top scorer does not have 80% of the top-tier institutions coming for them. Now, colleges are swarming to snatch her. We have so many provincial top scorers in Qing University, even if not over a dozen, we’d have at least seven to eight. If Principal Liang personally travels to persuade each of them, he wouldn’t have to work anymore! He would just spend all his time talking to students!”
The Qiao Family members looked at him.
Cheng Wu said to them and Wei Ling seriously, “Qiao Nian’s achievement is at the level of the national top scorer, but even rarer than that of the national top scorer. It can be said that such a talented student may not be encountered in a century. So, don’t compare Chen Chen’s grades with hers. Chen Chen’s grades are good, and already one of the best among Arts students. But compared to Qiao Nian, there’s really no room for comparison.
“Let me give you an example. For a test with a full score of 100, you might be able to score 90 if you put in some extra effort. But if I tell you to score a full 100 marks, would you be able to?”
Wei Ling felt something lodged in her throat. She wanted to say she would be able to, but she knew that it would be a mockery if she did say it.
Cheng Wu laughed and slowly said to all of them, “So, Qiao Nian’s grades are incomparable, and no one can compare to her! This time, the second place in the joint entrance examination is 38 points behind her. But it’s not a matter of points. The problem is, even if you get 99 points on the test, which is one point away, it’s a world of difference compared to someone with full marks! That one point is a huge gap!”
He didn’t spell it out any more clearly, but all the adults present could decipher it.
If even the second place couldn’t be compared to Qiao Nian, then, Qiao Chen, who was 30 points behind the second place, surely was not qualified either.
Because it was a world of difference, a huge gap!
