I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 20: Capital City, Here I Come...

The leaders from the education bureau then engaged in some irrelevant conversations with the people before they got into the car and left.

The entire scene was deathly silent. The numerous villagers looked toward Ye Lingchen and his mother. Their expression was a combination of awkwardness and envy. No one spoke out at this very instant surprisingly.

By now, a fool would know that the people from the education bureau were here solely because of the provincial top scorer Ye Lingchen!

It was funny that Chu Ran still had the courage to make that self-conceited conjecture. His result could not compare to Ye Lingchen at all.

“Mom, let’s go,” said Ye Lingchen once again.

“Hmm, I want to let your father knows about this news as soon as possible.”

Xu Zhen nodded hastily. Her voice sounded incomparably excited. She turned her head to the side and wiped away the tears in the corners of her eyes secretly.

Both of them left slowly. Ye Lingchen paused for a moment when he walked to Chu Hao’s side.

He said calmly, “your uncle’s garage can’t afford to employ me genuinely!”

Chu Hao’s expression displayed his unstable emotions. His cheeks were burning hot from embarrassment.

What virtues or abilities had his uncle’s garage to employ a provincial top scorer?

Xu Zhen fished out her phone to make a call eagerly as soon as they left the place.

“Hello?” Ye Jin’s voice was heard echoing from the phone.

“We got Lingchen’s results already.” Xu Zhen’s voice was trembling even.

The voice on the other end of the call was quiet for a long time. Ye Jin said with forced calmness, “I thought we will only know tomorrow?”

“A student sought help from someone to find out during dinner.”

Ye Jin could hear from Xu Zhen’s voice that she was choking back the tears. He felt like his heart had sunk into the bottom of the valley despite the fact that he did not have high hopes originally. He spoke in a hoarse voice, “poor academic performance is within our expectation originally.”

Upon saying that, he paused for a moment. He was incapable of suppressing his curiosity anymore so he continued to ask with the last hope, “So… what is his score?”

His tone of speech sounded solemn as if he was awaiting some form of verdict.

“Lingchen scored… 725 points.”

“725 points, the score…” Ye Jin did not manage to react to the situation accordingly at once. However, his pupils enlarged abruptly in the next moment while his entire body trembled. He spoke in a voice that was almost shaky, “I may have listened wrong earlier. How many points again?”

“725 points. Lingchen is the provincial top scorer!” Tears streamed down Xu Zhen’s face as she lost all control to suppress it.

She cried tears of joy and held high hopes for her child.

“Has the score been checked and confirmed?” Ye Jin could not help asking.

“The people from the education bureau paid us a visit already and they said that they are awarding Lingchen with a 50000RMB scholarship.” Xu Zhen explained about the events that took place today to her husband.

“Good, good, good…” Ye Jin was already speechless from excitement. He muttered irrelevantly for a while before he said, “I’m coming home now.”
