Chapter 264 - Boss, You Are so Willful
Jiang's mother followed the instructions, and soon after, both her and Jiang's father's phones were inundated with calls.
Each one was an invitation from a prestigious university.
Jiang Hao had already informed his class teacher of his decision.
“Jiang Hao, won't you reconsider?”
“Jiangbei is decent, but it doesn't quite match up to Shui Mu and others!”
Teacher Yang, upon hearing Jiang Hao's decision, hesitated before offering a word of advice.
But Jiang Hao's mind was made up, and he wasn't about to change it.
“Teacher Yang, I appreciate your concern, but to me, it's all the same. Plus, Jiangbei is closer to home!”
After a brief pause, Teacher Yang on the other end of the line stopped trying to convince him.
“Okay, I'll let the principal know!”
“Right now, to win you over, several universities' admissions officers have been bombarding us non-stop.
And I've heard that some of them are even on their way to our school as we speak!”
“I can only imagine their faces when they learn you've chosen Jiangbei.”
Teacher Yang said with a chuckle, then after a few more words, ended the call.
Meanwhile, Jiang Hao's achievements sparked a frenzy of discussion.
“Holy smokes, did you hear? Our city has a college entrance exam prodigy!”
“Are you talking about the guy who scored 747 points?”
“Man, that's what you call a true scholar!”
……
Online and offline, the reactions were a mix of awe and skepticism.
?”Pfft, with a score that high, who's to say it's not a sham!”
“Maybe he had the exam questions in advance?”
“Plus, I heard he was a slacker until just a month ago when he suddenly showed this burst of brilliance!”
……
Before long, Jiang Hao's past was dug up by those with agendas and plastered all over the internet.
The story spread rapidly, casting Jiang Hao in an unfavorable light.
But the tide quickly turned when the head of the Education Department stepped in to debunk the rumors, shattering the falsehoods once and for all.
Meanwhile, an even more sensational piece of news broke.
Jiang Hao didn't opt for Shuimu University or Tianhua University.
Instead, he chose Jiangbei University, known for its less formidable reputation!
This revelation left countless people astounded.
“Whoa… Seriously, has our top scholar turned into a total bookworm?”
“Exactly! Jiangbei doesn't hold a candle to Shuimu!”
“Did Jiangbei University make him an offer he couldn't refuse?”
……
Confusion reigned as people began to speculate wildly.
It wasn't until later that it was revealed the reason he passed up Shuimu was simply that Jiangbei University was closer to home!
This sparked yet another flurry of debates.
“Damn, the big guns really play by their own rules!”
“This must be the biggest difference between us mere mortals and the elite!”
Meanwhile, some voiced concerns that Jiang Hao was being too capricious, fearing that his approach might lead him to fade into obscurity.
?People were also amazed to discover that the same student who had made bold statements in a college entrance exam interview was, in fact, the exam's top scorer. That's when it clicked for everyone.
He had simply been telling it like it is!
Maybe, for someone who nearly aced the college entrance exam, those questions were a walk in the park!
As for the online buzz about him, Jiang Hao just laughed it off without much concern.
He had been staying home these past few days, not out of choice but necessity. His sudden fame meant stepping outside would inevitably lead to recognition.
