Chapter 16 Popular Fried Chicken

In that old era, it was really not easy for students from remote rural areas to be admitted to Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School. So when Li Yufei saw Zhang Yunqi nod to confirm, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and said to Zhang Yunqi with a smile: "Then congratulations."

Zhang Yunqi said thank you.

Liu Zicheng seemed very unhappy, with a long face, and Zhao Yingying was a little curious about Zhang Yunqi's high school entrance examination results, but seeing Liu Zicheng's face, she resisted asking and said, "It's getting late, let's go and complete the admission procedures."

Zhang Yunqi nodded, and several people walked into the No. 1 Middle School together.

Jiangchuan No.1906 Middle School was founded in 59. At that time, it was called Jiangchuan Government Middle School. In 89, it was listed as a provincial key middle school. In , it was transformed into a provincial experimental middle school. It is a real old-fashioned middle school. Especially after entering the st century, Tsinghua University and Peking University have been admitted every year. It can be regarded as a talent processing base for the top ten famous universities in China. Of course, there are also many excellent hooligans. Zhang Yunqi has foreseen that he will soon become one of them.

The school hasn't started yet, and the campus of No. 1 Middle School is sparsely populated. However, the sound of reading can be heard coming from the teaching building not far away. Those should be the senior high school students who are taking extra classes.

Maybe it was because he had been away from school for too long, Zhang Yunqi missed campus life very much. That youthful feeling was a rare and wonderful experience in life. The only drawback was that Liu Zicheng kept staring at him with a sour face.

Several people came to the admissions office in the office building. There were quite a lot of students and parents coming to handle admission procedures, so they had to line up.

Liu Zicheng, who had a sullen face before, became quite enthusiastic at this time. He asked Li Yufei to sit aside and rest while he queued up.

Zhang Yunqi naturally classified himself as someone who could enjoy special treatment like Li Yufei, and sat directly on the chair next to Li Yufei to rest.

Liu Zicheng almost fainted from anger.

Faced with such a shameless person, he felt like there were tens of millions of alpacas running across the green grassland in his heart as if they had taken aphrodisiacs.

The admission procedure was very simple. Although there were many people, it was their turn soon. Li Yufei and Zhao Yingying were given admission letters. The teacher who handled the procedures registered them, and then asked them to pay the tuition to the class teacher at the start of the school year.

When it was Zhang Yunqi's turn, he gave his admission ticket, household registration booklet and transcript to the teacher who was handling the admission procedures. The teacher looked up and asked him, "Where is your admission letter?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "No, I didn't apply to the No. 1 Middle School in the city. I was recruited by Director Luo later."

When the teacher heard what he said, he opened his report card and said, "Zhang Yunqi, your high school entrance exam score is 625 points. Oh! You are the top scorer in Fengyang County, Zhang Yunqi. You should be a special recruit. Go find Director Luo."

The female teacher was quite enthusiastic. She stood up and returned the transcript and admission ticket to Zhang Yunqi. Zhang Yunqi took the materials and said to Li Yufei and Zhao Yingying, "Then I'll go to Director Luo first."

"Go ahead. Director Luo is in the first office on the left."

Zhao Yingying smiled and waved her hands. After Zhang Yunqi left, she patted her chest and exclaimed, "This guy is actually the top scorer in the high school entrance examination in Fengyang County! Oh my god, I really didn't see that."

Li Yufei smiled and said, "Yes, it's rare."

Zhao Yingying pulled Li Yufei's sleeve and said, "Oh, oh, Yufei, I was stunned by the words 'top scorer in the high school entrance exam' just now. What score did the teacher say Zhang Yunqi got?"

Li Yufei glanced at the door of Director Luo's office at the end of the corridor: "It seems, 625."

Zhao Yingying's face was full of complaints: "The total score of the high school entrance examination was 660, and he scored 625, which is much higher than me... Oh, let's not talk about it, it's inhumane... If I had this score, it would be a piece of cake to enter the science and technology class."

Li Yufei smiled: "Didn't your dad help you get into the key class? Be content."

Zhao Yingying said with a gloomy face: "Don't mention it. My dad begged everyone for help to get me into the key class, but he couldn't even raise his head. He even went home and said that I was not motivated enough. If I had Zhang Yunqi's grades, I wouldn't have to beg others. The leaders of our school would have come to my house to beg me a long time ago." "Yufei, the procedures are completed, let's go." Liu Zicheng, who had a gloomy face and didn't say a word the whole time, couldn't help listening to the two girls chattering.

His high school entrance exam results weren't that good, and he was able to get into the No. 1 Middle School because of his father's connections. He couldn't compare to Zhang Yunqi, so Zhao Yingying's flattery of Zhang Yunqi was a bit irritating to him, but he couldn't get angry. He didn't want to appear stingy in front of Li Yufei, so he said, "There's a new kebab shop opened over at No. 6 Middle School. I heard the food is great. I'll treat you guys."

Li Yufei hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Let's wait for Zhang Yunqi. We all came here together, so let's go back together."

Zhang Yun got up and went to the office of the director of the Academic Affairs Office.

Luo Dahai looked very busy, chatting with a few students' parents. When he saw Zhang Yunqi coming in, he smiled and said, "Student Zhang, you're here."

Zhang Yunqi nodded: "Hello, Director Luo."

Luo Dahai knew that Zhang Yunqi was here to go through the enrollment procedures. He flipped out the teaching roster, handed it over, and said, "Choose your class first. There are 24 classes in your first year of high school. The three most comprehensive ones are science-level classes. The next six are key classes. You don't need to know about the remaining ordinary classes. Mainly look at the first three science and technology classes. If you want to go to one, I will write you a note and you can give it to your class teacher on the first day of school."

Several parents nearby, whose children were assigned to classes they were not satisfied with, were somewhat surprised when they saw this scene. They thought that this young man could actually choose his class freely, and he must be the son of some big leader in the city.

Luo Dahai saw the expressions of these parents. In fact, he felt helpless. Zhang Yunqi had such good grades that he would be a hot shot in any class. However, in order to recruit him to No. 1 Middle School, he had been promised the right to choose his class. Now it was difficult to assign him to a class teacher with whom he had a good relationship.

Zhang Yunqi took the roster and looked through it, and soon found Ji Ling's name. She was in Class 157, a key class.

For students, science and technology classes and key classes are very important. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." A progressive learning atmosphere can greatly promote personal learning. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many parents who would try their best to find connections and beg for this and that in order to get their children into science and technology classes and key classes.

Zhang Yunqi held the roster and thought about this matter for a long time.

For him, studying well is of course very important. Compared with money, personal knowledge, cultivation and ability are also very important. But given his situation, his family situation and his father's situation, it is really unrealistic for him to study as hard as he did in his previous life. In addition to studying, for himself and his poor family, he must make money, a lot of money! He didn't go to high school in his previous life, so he didn't know what the subject-level classes and key classes were like, but he always felt that they would be quite strict. So after thinking about it, he decided to choose an ordinary class, where the environment is a little more relaxed, and he would have plenty of time to do other things besides studying.

As for the fact that the learning atmosphere in ordinary classes is not good and the learning resources are relatively poor, this should be affirmed. However, with his experience, knowledge and temperament as an adult man in his forties, and an energetic body, if he really wants to study hard, how could he be affected by a group of children around him?

Zhang Yunqi omitted the previous department-level classes and key classes, and finally his eyes fell on Class 168 on the roster. He said to Luo Dahai: "Director Luo, I choose Class 168."

Luo Dahai was a little confused at the time: "Class 168 is an ordinary class!"

Zhang Yunqi said I know.

Luo Dahai said quickly, "No, it's not appropriate for you to go to Class 168. You can choose any of the three science and technology classes, but you can't go to an ordinary class like Class 168! What's the big deal, Xiao Zhang? Your grades are so good, and your parents won't agree to you going to such an ordinary class."

Luo Dahai's words sounded nice, but Zhang Yunqi already had his own ideas: "Director Luo, I have thought it through, and you promised me that I can choose my class freely."

Luo Dahai was choked. Finally, he nodded, pulled out a note from the drawer, stamped it with the official seal, signed his name, and handed it to Zhang Yunqi: "School is about to start. The classes for the first grade of high school have been divided. You are a transfer student. Jiang Lihua, the head teacher of Class 168, does not have your name on the roster. When school starts on September 9st, give this note to Jiang Lihua and he will know."

It was a long time after Zhang Yunqi walked out of the teaching office with the note that the parents standing nearby asked tentatively, "Hey, Director Luo, what is the background of this child? How can he choose his class freely?"

Luo Dahai smiled bitterly, "He doesn't have much background, but he relies on his real ability. He is the top scorer in the high school entrance examination in Fengyang County this year, with a high score of 625. He originally applied for a well-known technical secondary school in the provincial capital, and the school had finally invited him, so preferential treatment is necessary. He is free to choose his class, and this is the only one in the school."

The top scorer in the high school entrance examination was a special case in the whole school. This made people think a lot. These well-dressed middle-aged men and women who always liked to judge people by their appearance sighed and lamented why they did not have such a good life. Hey, if their own children had this ability, there would be no need for them to beg for help.
