“It’s you and An Nuonuo.” The homeroom teacher chuckled, “Two points more than the second place.”
Having two valedictorians from the same school is something you wouldn’t dare to write in a novel.”
No wonder he was so elated.
What Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo brought to the homeroom teacher, apart from monetary rewards and promotion,
was more about honor.
Not to mention,
just the prestige of having two national valedictorians from his class, could attract countless students and their parents to an education class he might offer.
Although, it seemed that Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo’s achievements had little to do with the homeroom teacher…
Jiang Xu grinned.
This was better than he expected.
He and An Nuonuo were the national toppers.
So, his reputation was now golden.
This would give him enormous leverage in many situations.
He chatted for a bit before the homeroom teacher finally hung up.
The interview with the media reporters was going to start at two in the afternoon, there was plenty of time.
Dish after dish was served.
A total of twenty-eight dishes.
When all the dishes were served, Jiang Xu stood up and said, “I have good news for everyone.
An Nuonuo and I have tied for the top in the national college entrance exam.” Chen Yue and Jiang Shan immediately stood up with flushed faces.
An Feng and Li Yuanjuan were also extremely excited.
This was a huge celebration.
Initially, they thought that managing the provincial top spot was already an extraordinary achievement.
Who would have thought, they achieved the national top spot.
“Thank heavens for their blessings.” Chen Yue clasped her hands together.
Jiang Shan muttered to himself, “If the ancestors of the Jiang family know about this, they’d probably want to come and have a toast with our son.” Jiang Xu: “No, thanks…”
Li Yuanjuan, hugging An Nuonuo, burst into tears.
There was elation, and there was also the release of pent-up emotions from after her divorce with An Feng.
Fu Yanjie and Zhang Yuanyuan were also happy for them.
Especially Fu Yanjie, who was thinking,
he could brag about his friend being the national champion wherever he went.
How impressive that would be!
The four families happily savored their meal.
All the adults had some drinks.
Especially An Feng and Li Yuanjuan who drank the most.
They both looked as if they were a bit unsteady on their feet.
“Uncle and aunt, let me drive you home.” Jiang Xu offered.
“No need… we… we can get home by ourselves.” An Feng’s tongue seemed to be tied.
He looked at Li Yuanjuan, “Shall we talk?”
“Okay.” Li Yuanjuan nodded.
In the end, everyone left and only the two of them remained in the room.
An Feng took a sip of tea to help sober up.
Looking at Li Yuanjuan, he said with a hint of remorse, “I’m sorry for what I
put you through. It has been tough on you.”
During dinner, he noticed Li Yuanjuan’s unpolished fingernails.
It seemed that Li Yuanjuan had lived an independent life since their divorce.
“It’s all in the past.” Li Yuanjuan shook her head.
An Feng suggested, “There are bedrooms on the top floor of the restaurant, do you want to rest for a bit?”
Li Yuanjuan was going to refuse initially,
but then she agreed.
An Feng was overjoyed.
He had a fondness for twice-cooked pork.
After everyone left,
Jiang Xu drove An Nuonuo directly to the school.
The interview was there.
While driving, Jiang Xu reminded An Nuonuo, “You don’t have to say anything
during the interview, just nod or shake your head.”
“Hmm, I’ll listen to you, big brother-”
An Nuonuo was all smiles.
Her ten delicate toes were wiggling in happiness,
showing how joyous she felt.
Both got the same scores.
To her, it was a divine arrangement.
It was incredibly romantic.
When they arrived at the school,
it was already crowded.
Everyone had come to fill their college choices following the release of the exam results.
Jiang Xu had a hard time finding a parking space.
Before he could get out of the car, his phone rang.
An Nuonuo’s phone also rang.
They both answered at the same time.
“Hello, is this Jiang Xu? I’m from the First University, are you interested in our school?”
“Hello, is this An Nuonuo? I’m from the Second University, are you interested in our school?”
The top-level universities got the news first,
and they were the first to call to enroll students.
Jiang Xu had always aimed for Magic University, so naturally, he wouldn’t go anywhere else.
However, he didn’t reject them immediately.
Instead, he said he would seriously consider it.
He wanted all the universities to compete for him,
so as to gain the maximum benefits.
As soon as he hung up, another call came in.
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo answered more than a dozen calls,
all from top-tier domestic schools.
The benefits they promised were quite substantial,
like tuition fees for four years, free meals in the cafeteria, luxury single rooms, scholarships, with the lowest being two hundred thousand.
The highest was from the First University, with six hundred thousand.
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo’s responses were to consider their options and decide later.
Before getting out of the car, Jiang Xu had An Nuonuo put on a face mask.
He held a bag in his hand.
He was planning to reveal their status.
“Ah, our national champion is here!”
As soon as they got out of the car, someone recognized Jiang Xu.
Everyone immediately crowded around them.
It was just like a fan meeting.
There were quite a few fangirls.
Jiang Xu tried his best to shield An Nuonuo from others.
They managed to enter the school with great difficulty.
The teachers and security guards came out to maintain order.
They finally managed to break away from them with great difficulty.
“Hello, we are reporters from Jiang City TV, Zhang Tao.”
A man in his thirties approached them.
After a brief introduction, they started the interview.
Zhang Tao: “Please briefly introduce yourselves.”
“Hello everyone, I am Jiang Xu.”
“Hello everyone, I am An Nuonuo.”
Zhang Tao curiously asked: “An, why are you wearing a mask?”
Jiang Xu answered for her: “My girlfriend is shy and prefers not to show her face in public.”
-Ah, you guys are a couple?” Zhang Tao was shocked, “Since when did you start dating?”
Jiang Xu smiled, “We confirmed our relationship after the exams. Before that,
it didn’t affect our studies.
In fact, because we encouraged and supervised each other, we managed to get such good results.”
Zhang Tao was incredibly envious.
Same scores, and even a couple.
This was simply…
They discussed regular topics during the interview, nothing special.
The interview lasted for about forty minutes.
Looking at all the material gathered, Zhang Tao was very satisfied.
He smiled and said, “Thank you for your co-operation. We will conclude the interview here and leave first.”
Jiang Xu: “Ah, how did you know I started a bottled water company!” Zhang Tao: “Huh???”
