Chapter 63: The Unbridled Excitement of He Yong

“Full score! Little Feng, you are truly amazing!” Tang Long went forward and lifted his son into a hug.

“Is this the first full score in the history of the entrance examination in Dongshan Province?” Su Gang guessed.

“Not just in Dongshan Province! Even looking at the whole country, it’s the first time!” Su Xiaoli couldn’t help but let her tears flow.

“But I seem to remember there were full scorers before? Am I remembering wrong?” Su Gang was puzzled.

“Uncle Su, you’re thinking of the entrance examination from a few years ago. Back then, the total score was 900, and it was a standard score. The so-called full score wasn’t a real full score,” Tang Feng explained.

“So, you might very well be the first full scorer in the country?” Su Gang’s eyes lit up immediately.

“I can’t be sure! But if I really am the first in history, then the news media will definitely report it,” Tang Feng answered.

Just then, Tang Long’s phone rang.

He checked the caller ID and saw it was He Yong calling.

He quickly pressed the answer button.

“Teacher He!” he greeted proactively.

“Did Tang Feng his scores?” He Yong’s voice sounded very anxious.

“Just did,” Tang Long answered.

“How did he do? What’s the total score?”

“Full score!” Tang Long answered with pride.

“What? What did you say?” He Yong’s voice changed.

“Full score! 750 points!” Tang Long repeated.

“My goodness! Tang Feng has set off a huge firework! I’m going to report this to the principal immediately!” He Yong said and then hung up the phone.

Waving his right hand like a child, He Yong rushed into the principal’s office.

The principal was dealing with documents and seemed a bit displeased to see him enter without knocking.

“Principal Fang, great news! Huge news!” He Yong was panting with excitement.

“Teacher He, calm down! Take it easy and speak,” Principal Fang said as he stood up.

Taking a breath, He Yong said, “Our student, Tang Feng, scored a full score!”

“What did you say?” Principal Fang’s face changed instantly.

“Full score! 750 points! I just called to ask!” He Yong was so excited his face turned red.

“Is the news reliable? You better call to confirm again, to avoid any embarrassment,” Principal Fang suggested.

He Yong called Tang Long’s phone again.

To make sure Principal Fang could hear clearly, he chose the speakerphone function.

After hearing Tang Feng’s examination score, Principal Fang was stunned on the spot!

“Teacher He, this is incredible! Our school is going to have a provincial top scorer!” Principal Fang said, struggling to speak from excitement.

He Yong nodded, “Yes! In my memory, no student has ever scored a full score! Even if some students had an extra ten points, they couldn’t reach a full score! Tang Feng might very well be the first in history!”

“I need to report this news to the leadership at the bureau immediately!” Principal Fang said and immediately made a call.

He Yong wasn’t idle either.

He had been so focused on calling Tang Feng that he forgot about Su Xiaoli.

He then called Su Gang.

“Xiaoli’s dad, I wanted to ask, did Xiaoli get her entrance examination score?” He Yong asked.

“721 points,” Su Gang answered.

“That high? With this score, she can definitely be in the top fifty in the province! Whether it’s Jingcheng University or Tsinghua University, there won’t be a problem!” He Yong was very pleased!

Although he had not succeeded in persuading Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli to apply to Tsinghua University, he had no complaints.

After all, it’s commendable that the students have their own thoughts.

As the homeroom teacher of Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli, he was proud to have nurtured such outstanding students!

“Teacher He, thank you for your concern. When the college admission notices come, I will host a banquet to treat you and the other teachers,” Su Gang offered.

“There’s no need! The students achieving such great scores is the biggest thanks to us,” He Yong quickly responded.

“Teacher He, is there anything else?” Su Gang asked with a smile.

“No! I’ll hang up now!”

The call ended.

Principal Fang also finished his call with the leadership.

“Principal Fang, let me tell you another piece of good news! Our student, Su Xiaoli, scored 721 points in the entrance examination!” He Yong said, beaming with excitement.

“721 points? That’s a high score! It seems our school will have at least two students getting into Jingcheng University and Tsinghua University this year!” Principal Fang couldn’t hide his joy.

After all, as the head of the school, he also contributed to the students’ success!

He wished all students could get into the best universities!

“Yes!” He Yong nodded, “I originally thought our school might not have any students getting into Jingcheng University and Tsinghua University this year. But not only do we have two, but their rankings are also so high!”

“Besides them, are there any other students in your class who scored over 700?” Principal Fang inquired.

“I’m not sure yet! I’ll keep calling!” He Yong said and took out his phone.

Meanwhile, Tang Feng’s house was also bustling.

“Big brother Tang, since both kids did so well, how about we go out to celebrate at noon?” Su Gang suggested.

“Sure!” Tang Long agreed readily.

“Dad, can we celebrate a few days later?” Su Xiaoli discussed with her father.

“Why?” Su Gang was quite puzzled.

“I want to wait until I get into the major I desire before celebrating,” Su Xiaoli answered.

Su Gang didn’t respond.

“Uncle Su, how about this? I’ll cook a few dishes at noon, and you can have a few drinks with my dad, as a celebration for us,” Tang Feng suggested, seeing the situation.

“Okay! You’re the provincial top scorer, whatever you say, uncle will listen!” Su Gang agreed without hesitation.

“In that case, sit here for a while! I’ll call you when the dishes are ready!” Tang Feng turned and went to the kitchen.

Su Xiaoli followed.

“What are you doing following me?” Tang Feng was puzzled.

“I want to help you cook,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“No need! You chat with Uncle Su and them! I can handle it myself!” Tang Feng quickly refused.

“But I just want to be with you,” Su Xiaoli’s eyes carried a hint of melancholy.

“Alright then!” Seeing her like this, Tang Feng could only agree.

Su Xiaoli stood by his side, and they chatted from time to time.

Soon, Tang Feng had prepared lunch.

He called Su Gang and the others to sit down at the dining table.

Once everyone was seated, he poured a glass of white wine for his father and Su Gang.

“Little Feng, do you want to join us for a drink?” Su Gang suggested.

“Another day! I’m afraid I might have something to do this afternoon,” Tang Feng answered.

Seeing him say this, Su Gang didn’t insist.

Tang Long and Su Gang clinked glasses frequently.

Both were thoroughly enjoying themselves!

After all, both Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli’s entrance examination scores far exceeded their expectations!

Tang Feng’s attention, however, was on Su Xiaoli.

The two also shared laughs and conversations.

Seeing this scene, Tang Feng’s Mother was also very happy.
