Chapter 56 Another 30 in my pocket! Time to go all in again!
The next morning.
The campus of Nanzhou No.1 Middle School was already bustling with people.
More than a dozen video cameras have already been set up in front of the school auditorium.
Reporters from various media outlets rushed to secure good camera positions early on, and the beeping sounds of their equipment being set up filled the air.
The most eye-catching thing was the satellite broadcasting vehicle parked outside the auditorium, painted with the logo of "Fujian Satellite TV". The satellite antenna on the roof stood tall, gleaming with a metallic luster in the morning light.
As Ye Fan followed his parents into the hall, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
On both sides of the red carpet stood a group of middle-aged men dressed in white shirts and black trousers—some with beer bellies, some with standard "leader's hair" hairstyles, and a few adjusting the party badges on their chests.
Although they look different, they all share the same imposing aura.
Besides these, Ye Fan also saw a news van on campus painted with "Fujian TV" on it.
Goodness, even TV stations are here! This is going to be a hit!
There's no doubt that these people are all after Ye Fan.
In the center of the auditorium, a huge LED screen continuously displayed the slogan "Warmly congratulate Ye Fan on winning the 2014 Fujian Province College Entrance Examination Top Scorer".
Fujian Provincial Department of Education, Nanzhou Education Bureau.
Leaders and cadres from relevant departments gathered in the school auditorium, witnessing the event in a live broadcast by the provincial television station.
Director Wang of the Fujian Provincial Department of Education warmly shook Ye Fan's hand, smiling broadly as he looked at the tall, handsome young man before him:
"Excellent! Excellent! What a promising young talent!"
He turned to Director Li of the Nanzhou Municipal Education Bureau beside him and sighed:
"Look at the spirit of our top scorer! This is the epitome of outstanding youth in the new era!"
When the leaders of the Fujian Provincial Education Bureau saw that Ye Fan was tall and handsome and had such good academic performance, they praised him highly and liked him very much.
Principal Zhang Jianguo also introduced Ye Fan's "glorious deeds" to the leaders.
Ye Fan has demonstrated outstanding performance since entering our school in the first year of high school, excelling in moral character, intellectual ability, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor skills...
Director Wang was increasingly pleased as he listened, and suddenly turned to his entourage and instructed them:
"Such outstanding young students should be widely publicized as exemplary cases of quality education in our province!"
This remark triggered another flurry of camera shutters.
Director Wang of the Provincial Department of Education suddenly frowned and said to Principal Zhang Jianguo in a slightly reproachful tone:
"Comrade Jianguo, why wasn't Ye Fan, such an excellent student in both character and academics, recommended as a provincial-level outstanding student in a timely manner? Your work needs improvement!"
Zhang Jianguo nodded repeatedly, but inwardly he was furious with Jiang Wenyuan. "Your class has such outstanding students, why doesn't the school know?!"
If Jiang Wenyuan could hear Zhang Jianguo's inner thoughts, he would definitely say: "Principal, I didn't know either! Ye Fan tricked us all! I just found out!"
Standing to the side, Ye Fan's ears burned as he listened, and he unconsciously touched his nose, realizing he was actually quite outstanding...
After offering words of comfort...
Leaders from the Fujian Provincial Education Bureau and the Nanzhou Education Bureau, along with Principal Zhang Jianguo, presented Ye Fan with honorary certificates and bonuses as encouragement.
Ye Fan stood in the center of the stage, which was covered with a red carpet, and the big red flower on his chest was particularly bright under the spotlight.
He held a beautifully crafted mahogany photo frame in both hands, and the gold-embossed certificate of honor under the glass read "2014 Fujian Province College Entrance Examination Science Champion".
The parents on both sides were equally radiant: Gu Ruoning was wearing a light blue cheongsam and holding a scholarship checkboard with the words "10 yuan" printed on it in both hands.
Old Ye, dressed in a sharp suit, held up a 20 yuan award plaque presented by the district government.
The three of them standing together presented a perfect picture of a "family of top scholars".
Congratulations to Ye Fan for winning the top score in the 2014 Fujian Province College Entrance Examination (Science Stream).
The clicking of camera shutters echoed continuously.
After taking a group photo with Ye Fan, the leaders shook hands with Ye Fan and his parents to say goodbye.
.........
Ye Fan held two checks in his hand, feeling quite pleased with himself.
Thinking that another 30 yuan had been deposited, he could go all in again!
but.
As soon as they stepped out of the auditorium, the two checks in Ye Fan's hand were handed to Gu Ruoning.
Gu Ruoning deftly folded the check and stuffed it into her personal wallet.
They call it "Mom is saving it for you to use when you get married."
The family had never seen a check before and didn't know how to use it, so they simply went to the bank first.
Find a bank employee and ask.
When the staff saw that the organizations listed were the Education Bureau and the No. 1 Middle School, they were immediately shocked after making a few inquiries.
So this handsome young man in front of me is the top scorer in our province this year!
A middle-aged female staff member held Gu Ruoning's hand and kept asking her questions: Your child is really amazing. How did you raise him? Can you tell me about it?
Gu Ruoning straightened her back unconsciously, coughed lightly, and instantly switched into "top student's mother" mode.
He spoke eloquently:
"When educating children, you can't be too deliberate... The more you force them to learn, the more resistant they become. If they don't have a thirst for knowledge, no amount of coercion will help."
"The most important thing is to spark their interest! You can reward them and encourage them, but never scold them when it comes to studying!"
"When children are studying, it's important to give them enough space. Moderate attention is fine; too much intervention can be counterproductive."
She patiently explained for over half an hour.
Ye Fan and his father, Old Ye, who were standing nearby, were getting drowsy listening to this.
.......
The bank staff, all smiles, cashed the two checks, and the 30 yuan was quickly transferred into Comrade Gu Ruoning's account.
After completing the formalities.
With the warm farewell of the staff, the family walked out of the bank.
As soon as he stepped out the door, Ye Fan couldn't wait to speak:
"Mom, what about this money...?"
Before Ye Fan could finish speaking, Gu Ruoning interrupted him decisively:
"Mom will keep this money safe for you. Don't you have 100,000 yuan on you? And when you go back to your hometown in a few days, your grandparents, uncles, aunts, and other relatives will all give you red envelopes. That's enough for you!"
With the morning news broadcast!
Gu Ruoning and Ye Linzhang's phones never stopped ringing.
Gu Ruoning received a flood of congratulatory messages from colleagues and friends, and Ye Linzhang's old clients sent one congratulatory text message after another, making his phone vibrate so much it almost slipped off his wrist.
One congratulatory message after another made Ye Linzhang and Gu Ruoning beam with joy.
My son has really made something of himself.
Strangely enough, ever since the admissions offices of Tsinghua and Peking Universities called, Gu Ruoning's tone of voice when speaking to her son suddenly became eight degrees gentler.
This made Ye Fan feel very uncomfortable, his whole body ached, and he even asked Gu Ruoning:
"Mom, are you really my mom? Or are you my cousin's mom?!"
He was greeted with a scolding, but Ye Fan instantly felt better afterward. That's more like it! This is the real deal! This is what a loving mother should be like!
At this time.
After finishing a phone call, Gu Ruoning turned around and asked:
"Son, do you still have your college entrance exam review notes? You didn't throw them away, did you?"
Ye Fan casually remarked, not taking it seriously:
"No! What do you want?"
Gu Ruoning: "My colleague Sister Wang's son is taking the college entrance exam next year, and I'd like to borrow your notes to study."
Ye Linzhang immediately spoke up:
"No, no, a friend of mine wants some too. His son is also taking the college entrance exam next year; he's Old Xia's kid, you know him too!"
He was so busy answering the phone that he completely forgot about it.
