Chapter 80

Liu Qin: "Each school's independent recruitment is different, but for these three, Anhua's past situation is that as long as you reach the first-tier threshold, they will admit you, but they require you to sign an agreement. Zhongli's past situation is that the admission score line is lowered by 20 points, but Zhongli won't require you to sign such an agreement. If your college entrance exam score can get you into a better university, you can apply to other universities. Chuanhe is the strictest; not only do you have to sign this agreement, but the admission score line is only lowered by 20 points, and you have to study the major you applied for in the independent recruitment. The situations of the three universities are different, each with its own pros and cons. You have to make a choice."

Xu Zijun didn't expect such a situation to arise, and she was momentarily bewildered.

"These are the independent recruitment recommendation forms for these three schools. Take them all and fill them out. You can go to participate in the independent recruitment exams for all three schools, but in the end, you have to make a choice," Liu Qin said. "Discuss it with your parents. You have to give me an answer next Monday, understand?"

Xu Zijun was stunned and nodded.

She left Liu Qin's office with the forms.

She was still bewildered.

These things had nothing to do with Lu Yan He at all.

He also had no idea about such things.

It wasn't until he was eating in the cafeteria with Linyu and the others in the evening that he heard them discussing this matter.

Linyu said, "I'll just choose Zhongli. Forget the others that require signing an exclusive agreement. My goals are Zhenhua and Yuming."

Chen Qin looked conflicted and said, "My grades are neither high nor low, and there aren't many choices. If I only get a quota for a university that requires signing an attendance agreement, what should I do?"

"You have to consider it clearly yourself. Do you want to be safer and have a fallback, or do you want to go for it?" Linyu said.

Chen Qin: "I don't know. Anyway, I can only get the independent recommendation quota for Hengjiang. Forget it, maybe I won't even pass their independent recruitment."

"Who told you to be so slack in your second year of high school? You didn't do well in several important exams."

Chen Qin sighed melancholically.

Lu Yan He said, "Anyway, it's just one more chance, try it first. If you really get this opportunity, then consider the things that follow."

"Hmm," Linyu nodded, "Chen Qin, you just want this and that."

"Wanting both fish and bear's paw is a weakness of human nature. I'm just unable to overcome my weakness as a human," Chen Qin defended himself.

Linyu looked at him with disdain.

Lu Yan He smiled: "It's okay, look, we can't even get the troubles we want like this. These are happy troubles."

"Yeah, at least you managed to get the last quota that can get a recommendation. Chu Saiying is ranked behind you, and he missed out on the guaranteed admission and independent recruitment recommendation because of one spot," Li Pengfei said with schadenfreude.

Chen Qin said, "He has already received an Ivy League admission letter, why is he still competing with us for independent recruitment quotas?"

"What did you say earlier?" Li Pengfei deliberately acted as if he were thinking, and after two seconds, said: "Wanting both fish and bear's paw is a weakness of human nature."

"No, that's called greed. It's not a weakness of human nature, it's a base instinct of human nature," Chen Qin retorted.

"Isn't it all the same thing?"

As they were talking, Linyu suddenly interrupted them in a low voice: "Stop talking for a moment."

Speak of the devil, Chu Saiying walked over alone with his tray, looking for a seat.

He also saw them.

Both sides acted as if they didn't see each other.

"His face is too dark," Li Pengfei quipped.

"Missing out on the independent recruitment recommendation by just one spot, of course he's not happy," Linyu said. "Don't go looking for trouble or provoking him."

"We don't have any conflict with him, why would we look for trouble? Don't worry," Li Pengfei laughed.

Linyu: "... With that laugh, I can't be at ease."

Li Pengfei scoffed, "Who are you looking down on?"

After dinner, they returned to the classroom.

Unexpectedly, although the matter of independent recruitment had nothing to do with most people, it received widespread attention, and almost everyone was discussing it.

"This year our school has two guaranteed admission recommendation quotas for Zhenhua. In previous years, there was one for science and one for liberal arts, but this year both were given to science," someone said.

"Why?"

"They say that in the past five years, none of the people who got the guaranteed admission recommendation quota for liberal arts passed Zhenhua's interview, they were all wiped out, while two from science finally got the guaranteed admission quota."

"Uh, the seniors aren't doing well."

"Our top liberal arts student is making a scene," someone immediately said. "I heard her parents have come and are sitting in the principal's office."

"Holy crap, is Hou Zhi that awesome? She invited her parents over so quickly."

"Yeah, she called them the first moment."

For some reason, because of this, the atmosphere in the class suddenly became like a gossip center, and everyone was keen to discuss every related news and detail of this matter.

For example, Hou Zhi, everyone was talking, and they even knew where she went to elementary school.

"Hou Zhi's grandfather is a leader in the province. This matter won't just end like this, they will definitely snatch this quota back."

"If they were really worried about this, they wouldn't have given all the quotas to the science students in the first place, and besides, Hou Zhi's grandfather has already retired."

Listening to their discussion, Lu Yan He also learned a lot of news. Hou Zhi was a legend who sat firmly in the first place in the grade and had never fallen from the throne of first place. According to the school teachers' estimates, as long as she performed normally, she would definitely be able to get into the top ten in the province. Currently, her level was firmly in the top five in the province, and she was the school's seed player for the provincial liberal arts champion this year.

The more he listened, the stranger Lu Yan He felt.

If so, why didn't the school give the guaranteed admission recommendation quota to Hou Zhi?

It sounded like Hou Zhi wasn't not excellent enough, but rather so excellent that she didn't need this guaranteed admission recommendation quota at all.

Suddenly, at this time, Zhou Ziyu, who talked the most in class, ran in, looking excited, and said: "Hou Zhi's parents have come out of the principal's office."

"Any latest news? How did they talk to the principal?"

"Only know that their faces were very heavy, not a good signal."

"Can't Hou Zhi's family handle this?"

"Hou Zhi's grandfather has already retired, I told you already, forget about small things. In this kind of matter, her family no longer has the energy to help her handle it."

"Sigh, then we really won't get Zhenhua's guaranteed admission recommendation quota for liberal arts this year."

"Actually, it's useless to get it. The people recommended in the past five years didn't pass Zhenhua's interview in the end. The requirements must be very high, and I don't know which masters can pass."

"Anyway, last year the one recommended by the neighboring No. 6 Middle School had won the first prize in the New Concept Writing Competition and published a novel, but in the end, they didn't get the qualification."

Lu Yan He curled his lips.

Many people think that the life of high school students is very simple. Look, this is his second time in the third year of high school, how can it be so simple? Young people also have their own world.
