Chapter 855: Can't Help But Cheer For Her!
June 25th was the day the Huai Province college entrance exam results were released.
After getting off work in the evening, Tang Ye arrived at the Reception House and found Jiang Rou.
Jiang Rou was wearing pajamas, looking listless.
Tang Ye sighed helplessly, "Put on some clothes, and I'll come back in."
A moment later, Tang Ye knocked on Jiang Rou's door again.
Jiang Rou was wearing a white shirt, standing before him.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
"That's more like it!" Tang Ye smiled. "The Huai Province college entrance exam results are out. How did you do?"
Jiang Rou shook her head: "I haven't checked yet!"
Tang Ye gave a wry smile: "Check it quickly. Don't worry, no matter the result, we must face it calmly."
Jiang Rou thought to herself that Tang Ye still understood her state of mind.
Although she acted like she didn't care, she was actually very afraid of failure!
She took out her phone and dialed the college entrance exam results inquiry hotline.
The moment she heard her total score, the panic in Jiang Rou's eyes quickly turned into surprise, and she immediately burst into tears of joy.
Seeing her crying uncontrollably, Tang Ye thought she had failed the exam and asked softly, "How is it?"
Jiang Rou waved her arms and threw herself directly at Tang Ye!
"396 points! Eighty-second place in the whole province!"
This year, the Huai Province college entrance exam results had not yet implemented the policy of hiding the top one hundred rankings.
This policy would not be implemented until 2009.
Generally speaking, candidates who could enter the top two hundred in the province had a chance to be admitted by Shuimu University and Yanjing University.
Clearly, 396 points was definitely a very good score.
Tang Ye could clearly hear the sobbing coming from his shoulder.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It hasn't been easy!
When Jiang Rou first transferred schools, she had once been unable to keep up with the class pace and was even treated as a "tail-ender" and a "connection hire."
But she did not give up, relying on her own efforts to catch up step by step.
To conquer her weak subjects, she desperately drilled practice problems;
To squeeze out more study time, she gave up a lot of sleep and devoted herself entirely to the sea of questions.
Her mock exam scores also became more excellent each time!
Jiang Rou had also secretly wondered what she should do if she failed the exam.
Fortunately, the final result did not disappoint anyone.
She was worthy of the effort of these past few years, and more importantly, she had proven herself to those who trusted her.
Jiang Rou knew clearly in her heart that if she hadn't met Tang Ye, she would probably still be that good-for-nothing "female hoodlum" even now.
And as Tang Ye looked at her, a sense of gratification at "hoping for a daughter to become a phoenix" grew in his heart.
He had watched Jiang Rou transform step by step from a "bad girl" into a "female academic star" with his own eyes.
To put it bluntly, his mood at this moment was like having cleared a cultivation game.
—The flower has bloomed, full of pride!
"Not bad, you are truly excellent! You've made everyone look at you with new eyes."
Jiang Rou gently pushed Tang Ye away, realizing her actions were somewhat uncomposed.
A rosy flush instantly rose to her fair cheeks.
"I don't care about other people's opinions at all! I... I mainly just didn't want to be looked down upon by you."
"How could I look down on you! I'm going to call Mayor Jiang!"
Tang Ye took out his phone and dialed Jiang Jing's number.
Jiang Rou sat to the side, silently lowering her head.
Actually, she also wanted to tell her father this good news, but hindered by face, she never had the courage to speak up on her own.
"Mayor Jiang, Jiang Rou has just checked her college entrance exam results. She scored 396 points, ranking eighty-second in the province!"
"Really?" Jiang Jing was stunned for a moment, then immediately beamed with joy. "That's great! I was worried before that she ran away from home because she didn't do well and wanted to clear her head. I didn't expect the result to be so surprising!"
Tang Ye responded with a smile: "Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to accompany her back to Hanzhou. Next, we need to prepare for filling out the college entrance exam preferences."
Jiang Jing nodded slightly: "I've really troubled you during this time."
"Mayor Jiang, please don't say that!" After hanging up on Jiang Jing, Tang Ye dialed Du Xi's number.
Hearing that Jiang Rou had done so well, Du Xi also let out a long sigh of relief, her tone full of joy: "Jiang Rou is too amazing! I knew she would definitely do well, but I didn't expect her to get such a high ranking! I heard that this year's city science Top Scorer is 399 points; with this score, she should be able to rank in the city's top ten!"
Tang Ye glanced at Jiang Rou and said into the phone: "She is returning to Hanzhou tomorrow to prepare for filling out her preferences. I'll have to trouble you to help her deliberate on it then."
Du Xi smiled and agreed: "Rest assured, leave this to me!"
After hanging up the phone, Tang Ye walked toward Jiang Rou and handed her a tissue: "Wipe the tears off your face, I'll treat you to a big meal."
Jiang Rou slapped his hand away and said stubbornly: "I wasn't crying, where would there be tears?"
Tang Ye looked at the undried tear tracks on her face and laughed in spite of himself: "Alright, alright, you weren't crying! Today is a good day, we should laugh out loud, we really shouldn't be crying."
Jiang Rou bit her lip, still stubborn: "I refuse to laugh! It's just the college entrance exam results being released, what's there to laugh about."
Looking at Jiang Rou's insincere appearance, Tang Ye felt a bit helpless for a moment.
On second thought, this was Jiang Rou's personality.
Straightforward and stubborn.
Her one-of-a-kind personality.
The next morning, Tang Ye had Ma Ran arrange for a female colleague to specifically accompany Jiang Rou back to Hanzhou.
Although Jiang Rou insisted that "she could manage on her own and didn't need anyone to see her off," Tang Ye still did not let her return alone.
After Jiang Rou boarded the train, Tang Ye sent a message to Jiang Jing to inform her of the itinerary.
After seeing the message, Jiang Jing sighed inwardly.
Her ex-wife had said that their daughter had a secret crush on Tang Ye.
Jiang Jing denied it out loud, but she knew it clearly in her heart.
Jiang Jing felt very reassured by Tang Ye's character.
In Tang Ye's heart, Jiang Rou was just a little girl who needed to be taken care of, and he would absolutely never cross the line.
However, seeing her daughter rely on and trust Tang Ye so much.
Deep down, she still couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy.
……
The college entrance exam results release date in Shaan Province was one day later than in Huai Province.
Around nine o'clock in the evening.
Tang Ye received a call from Jin Chunping.
"Principal Jin, have the college entrance exam results for Shaan Province been released? How did the girls from Dayu Women's High School do? Especially Fu Xiaoyun, how did she perform?"
Jin Chunping's tone was full of excitement and pride: "County Magistrate Tang, the results for Dayu Women's High School this year are much better than last year's; the undergraduate acceptance rate will definitely be much higher than last year! That child Fu Xiaoyun was especially impressive, ranking in the top two thousand in the province; she will be able to attend a very good university!"
Hearing that the girl who walked out of Cliff Village had seen her dream come true, Tang Ye couldn't help but cheer for her in his heart!
"Principal Jin, please rest assured, the County Government will closely monitor the further education situation of the students at the Women's High School. We will help them secure scholarships and student loans to ensure that every girl can continue to pursue her university dream."
Hearing Tang Ye's promise, Jin Chunping was moved to tears for a moment: "County Magistrate Tang, on behalf of the children at the Women's High School, I thank you!"
"This is what I should do!"
In fact, Tang Ye had already made arrangements long ago.
In previous years, the county would set aside a portion of funds to reward students with outstanding results at County No. 1 Middle School;
But this year, this money would be prioritized toward Dayu Women's High School.
It would be used to support the students of the Women's High School in attending university.
He knew that with his own strength alone, he could not change the general trend and the torrent!
But within the scope he could control, he wanted to do his best to be fair and give these girls a little more opportunity.
