The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 471

Chapter 471: 431 The Collapse of the Ying Family is a Trivial Matter [16th Update]

The principal’s hand shook, and he nearly smashed the cup himself.

Seeing his reaction, the academic director knew he was also startled and spread his hands, saying, "Principal, what did I tell you? This top student of the college entrance exam is not ordinary, right? How do you expect me to remain calm?"

Even among top students of the college entrance exam, there is a gap.

The higher the score, the more important that one missing point becomes.

Over the years, Hua Country had only produced two full-score top students in the national exam.

But the difficulty of those years’ exams can’t be compared to this year’s; they are not on the same level.

The academic director recalled a saying.

If others score 750 points, it’s because they can only score 750 points.

When Ying Zijin scores 750 points, it’s because the test’s total score is only 750 points.

Truly worthy of being God Ying.

The principal didn’t respond to the academic director because he hadn’t snapped out of the shock from the perfect score report.

After a while, he took off his glasses, wiped them with a piece of paper, put them back on, and then looked over the results carefully once more.

The two "1s" blinded him, as did the string of perfect scores.

The principal slowly exhaled and slumped back in his chair.

Indeed, the top students of Shanghai City’s college entrance exam were all from Verdant.

But the national first place wasn’t something Verdant could claim every year.

Aside from Imperial Capital University, another top high school had always competed with Verdant for the top spot in the national test scores.

Of course, there wasn’t officially such a thing as a national top student.

Since they are not from the same region, it was more of an informal term used in conversation.

But a full-score national top student...

That was indeed the first he had seen.

"With all sincerity," the principal muttered, holding his cup, "Classmate Ying really did write the essay."

It was merely a question, not coercion.

Originally, Ying Zijin didn’t even need to sit the college entrance exam.

The principal remembered the words he had told her the day before the exam—

"I don’t like promises, but once I give my word, I will see it through."

The principal heaved a heavy sigh.

Thank goodness, he hadn’t given up on any student willing to work hard.

Curious about the essay, the academic director asked, "Principal, how did you persuade Classmate Ying to write it?"

Ying Zijin’s laziness was legendary at Verdant, a well-known fact.

Ask for her help, and she would assist.

Ask her a question, and she’d explain, no matter how many times you asked.

But she was too lazy to walk, too lazy to write.

The principal glanced at the academic director and snorted, "Secret."

Academic Director: "..."

He saw the principal was so delighted inside that he was looking down on people through his nostrils.

Touching his head, the academic director prepared to share the good news with his close friend, the director of moral education.

"Wait, there’s another thing." The principal stopped the academic director, frowning. "On the score report you brought, why didn’t I see the name of Ying Yuexuan?"

Ying Yuexuan’s reputation at Verdant was thoroughly tarnished, but her scores were genuinely excellent, topping the grade on every mock exam.

"Ying Yuexuan?" Reminded like this, the academic director also remembered, "I don’t think I saw it either."

The score report, obtained from Imperial Capital University, only listed the top 500 student scores in Shanghai City.

If Ying Yuexuan’s name wasn’t among these top 500, there was only one possibility.

This time, in the national exam, Ying Yuexuan hadn’t even made it into the city’s top 500.

A silence settled in the office.

Both the principal and the academic director seemed to have reached the same conclusion.

What kind of blow did she receive?

How could one underperform so drastically in the college entrance exam?

From a likely top three in the city to falling beyond rank 500?

All of a sudden, the academic director said, "Principal, based on what I’ve seen in melodramatic family dramas about parents who are desperate for their children’s success, Madam Ying is probably going to scold Ying Yuexuan."

"Do you think, in a fit of anger, she might kick her out of the house?"

And if Madam Ying knew that Ying Zijin was the top student in the college entrance exam, how great would that gap in expectations be?

He felt that a breakdown was the least of her worries.

What could be more painful than losing something you once had?

The principal kept silent for a moment, then pointed at the door, saying, "The door is that way."

Academic Director: "..."

He instantly turned and rolled out.

At Imperial Capital University, they specially pulled up Ying Zijin’s examination papers.
