After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 374: College Entrance Exam Results Announced

Chapter 374: Chapter 374: College Entrance Exam Results Announced

The days of carefree relaxation didn’t last long. Just a few days after Chinese New Year’s Eve, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Shengjing High School’s senior year classes resumed.

In June, it would be time for the national college entrance exam. This year was also the first year after the exam reform, where all provinces and cities would use a standardized national test.

Because it was unclear how difficult the national test would be this year, every high school was pushing its senior students harder than ever before.

After the new school year began, Lu Sheng could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the classroom had grown much more intense.

The breaks between classes became quieter, and many people rarely left the classroom anymore. Even Teng Yue, who had always been the class clown, was now buried in papers and listening attentively during lessons every day.

Although Class A was mainly made up of wealthy kids who could find alternative paths even if they didn’t get into good universities through the exam, they all knew that they carried their families’ expectations on their shoulders.

No matter what, they couldn’t just slack off during these final few months; at the very least, they had to put in some effort.

Ever since Fu Chen was expelled over that special enrollment incident, Lu Sheng had become the class favorite again. Tang Yiyi, Lin Ya, and Hu Yun didn’t dare to bother her anymore.

Life had become calm and serene.

On the day of the college entrance exam, because there were three examinees in the family, Jiang Ting took the event very seriously. Lu Sheng, Lu Youming, and Lu Youye were all escorted to the exam venue by Jiang Ting, along with their eldest, second, and third brothers.

Those two days, Jiang Ting didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly at home, afraid of disrupting the three kids’ rest. She also put extra care into their meals to avoid them having stomach issues during the exam.

When the tense two days of exams finally ended, everyone felt as if they had been liberated from an exhausting, drawn-out battle.

When Lu Sheng returned to her classroom, she saw books scattered all over the floor. Everyone was jubilantly discussing what they planned to do during the upcoming two-month summer break.

As for the summer break, Lu Sheng didn’t feel particularly excited.

Most of her time after the break was spent in her room reading books related to law. Occasionally, her Fourth Brother would join her for a game of poker or a round of Go, or her newly emancipated Fifth Brother would take her for a ride on his motorcycle out to the countryside.

Sometimes, she would leave the house on her own — either to bring food to her Second Brother on his hospital shift or to drop by Li Muchen’s company to see him.

The first time she visited Li Muchen’s company, she didn’t notify him in advance and was stopped at the front desk.

The receptionist, seeing that Lu Sheng looked like a high school student, assumed she was just another one of Li Muchen’s fangirls. Without even asking if she had an appointment, she outright told her that the president wouldn’t meet anyone and asked her to leave.

Since Li Muchen was in a meeting, Lu Sheng called Chen An instead. However, within just a few minutes, Li Muchen himself took the private elevator down.

With his long legs, he strode over to pull her into his arms. In a low, tender voice, he said, "Baby, what brings you here?" His words left the receptionist wide-eyed in disbelief.

The next day, Chen An sent Lu Sheng’s photo to a company-wide group chat outside of the work channels.

He directly announced that this was President Li’s wife — the BOSS’s most cherished person. From now on, she could come and go as she pleased, and no one was to stop her.

After that, Lu Sheng had unfettered access to the company.

Or rather, not only was her access unrestricted, but many people also began covertly trying to curry favor with her.

For instance, someone from the Marketing Department would go all the way to the president’s office just to bring her a snack when she woke up hungry from a nap, claiming it was something they casually bought downstairs.

But judging by the brand of the chocolate — which cost several thousand dollars a piece — it was obviously not something you could pick up anywhere nearby.

Still, it was delicious.

At the time, Li Muchen said nothing. However, Lu Sheng later found out from Chen An that Li Muchen had given the person a raise of one thousand dollars.

"Just because he tried to please me?"

Sitting on Li Muchen’s lap, Lu Sheng poked his chest. "President Li, promoting someone just for ingratiating themselves with your wife? That’s not a good precedent to set. People will gossip."

Li Muchen didn’t mind, raising his hand to enclose the girl’s fingers in his palm. He kissed the back of her hand and said, "Let them gossip. At most, they’ll say I’m spineless — that pleasing you equates to pleasing me. But that is the truth."

"Besides, that person does work hard and deserves the salary increase."

In Li Muchen’s eyes, adhering to principles was far less important than seeing the joy on her face when she tasted a good piece of chocolate.

On June 7th and 8th, the college entrance exam was held, and the results came out on the 24th.

On the afternoon when the results were released, Lu Jingyan, Lu Siyan, and Lu Ziye all came home, and Li Muchen made a special trip to the Lu Family residence.

Everyone gathered in the living room downstairs to see the results for Lu Sheng, Lu Youming, and Lu Youye.

In reality, given Lu Sheng and Lu Youming’s abilities, there was nothing to be worried about. However, as parents, Jiang Ting and Lu Jingyan couldn’t help feeling nervous, especially with the wildcard, Lu Youye, in the mix.

The first set of results to come out was for Lu Youming.

Chinese 141, Math 150, English 149, Science 300 — a total of 740 points.

Seeing this score, Jiang Ting was overjoyed.

In previous years, the highest recorded score in Jiang City, whether in science or arts, had never surpassed 711 points. Yet her son had scored an astonishing 740 points, breaking the local records in the city’s college entrance exam history.

But for someone of Lu Youming’s intellectual caliber, this was merely an ordinary performance. His Chinese was still a minor weak point.

Next, it was time to check Lu Youye’s results.

However, the moment his score appeared, Lu Youye didn’t even dare to look at it. He directly handed his phone to Lu Sheng with an expression like he was walking to his doom.

"Shengsheng, you check it for me. If it’s below 500, just knock me out. No, better yet, just kill me right then and there."

Over the past six months, Lu Sheng had witnessed just how much effort her Fifth Brother had put in. When she saw his score, she couldn’t keep the excitement out of her voice.

"614... Fifth Brother, it’s not in the 500s; it’s over 600. You got 614!"

"What the—!" Upon hearing this number, Lu Youye jumped off the couch.

"Oh my god, I’m so amazing, I can’t believe I scored this! Ahhhh!"

While Lu Youming had shown no emotion whatsoever despite scoring 740, Lu Youye was hollering with delight over his 614.

He was genuinely overjoyed.

This score wouldn’t get him into Beijing University, but it was enough for a first-tier university in Beijing. Finally, he could stay in the same city as his sister during college!

Lu Sheng was the last to check her results.

When her phone screen displayed [750] points, the entire family froze for a moment before collectively gasping.

— Another perfect score!

After the exam ended, there had been widespread discussion online about how difficult this year’s national test was.

Yet somehow, just like her unexpected perfect score during that special enrollment test, Lu Sheng had achieved another perfect score!

There was no word other than "genius" to describe her.

This wasn’t just breaking records in Jiang City’s exam history; since the founding of the nation, there had never been a perfect scorer across all the provinces.

The entire Lu Family was ecstatic and overwhelmingly proud of Lu Sheng. Within mere minutes of the results being released, Jiang Ting and Lu Jingyan’s phones began ringing incessantly with congratulatory calls.
