Chapter 69: Accepting Media Interviews

At that moment, the school gate opened.

Teachers and students filed in.

The examinees headed to their respective classrooms.

Tang Feng found that, including himself, a total of eighteen students had returned.

This also meant that only this many students in their class had reached the undergraduate cut-off this year.

The rest of the students would need to wait another week to come to school to fill out their application for diploma programs.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this year our class has eighteen people who have reached the undergraduate line, among which nine have reached the key university line. Honestly, this result is quite average,” He Yong paused for a moment and then continued, “However, the top two ranks in the entire school belong to our class.”

Everyone’s gaze immediately turned to Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli.

Tang Feng feigned calmness.

In reality, he was overjoyed.

“As you may already know, our classmate Tang Feng scored full marks in the entrance examination! This is the first time a student has achieved full marks since the entrance examination score was adjusted to 750! Naturally, Tang Feng has also become the science top scorer of Dongshan Province! He is also the first provincial top scorer that Binjiang No. 1 Middle School has produced since its establishment!” When He Yong spoke these words, he was animated and proud.

After all, for him, this moment was the pinnacle of his life!

Cultivating a provincial science top scorer was the glory of his lifetime!

“And there’s Su Xiaoli! Although her score isn’t as high as Tang Feng’s, being ranked fifteenth in the province is quite impressive! Both Jingcheng University and Tsinghua University are eager to admit them.”

“Of course, our classmate Ding Xinyu also performed very well! Several universities’ admissions offices have extended olive branches to her!”

“Today you all came back to fill out your entrance examination application forms. When filling them out, you must be very careful. The cut-off scores from previous years can only serve as a reference. If you want to ensure admission, you must be willing to be flexible with your major choices! Otherwise, you may end up sliding down and not getting into any university.”

He Yong said a lot in one breath.

Soon, the application process began.

Everyone had an application form in hand.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli exchanged a smile, then filled in the majors they had already decided on.

Then, they handed their application forms to He Yong.

“Tang Feng, Su Xiaoli, come with me,” He Yong waved at them.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli followed him out of the classroom.

Immediately, the classroom buzzed with whispered discussions among the students.

“Did you hear? Su Xiaoli’s score wouldn’t have qualified her for the major she wanted. She only got in because Tang Feng spoke on her behalf.”

“Yeah! I heard about it too! Su Xiaoli’s desired major already had a higher-scoring student who had reserved it in advance! At that point, Tang Feng took the initiative to set conditions with the admissions officer.”

“Su Xiaoli is so lucky to have Tang Feng as her outstanding boyfriend!”

“No wonder! They grew up together, childhood sweethearts! Su Xiaoli scoring 721 is also thanks to Tang Feng’s help!”

“They really do make a perfect match! Both Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli are very good-looking.”

“Have you noticed? Tang Feng seems to have become much more handsome compared to before.”

“Really? Or do you think he looks better because he became the top science scorer of Dongshan Province?”

“No! He really has become much more handsome! If you don’t believe me, take a closer look when he comes back.”

At that time, Tang Feng and the others arrived in front of the teaching building.

Several media reporters were already waiting there!

For Tang Feng, it felt like a mini press conference.

“Hello, Tang Feng! I’m a reporter from ‘Daocheng District Evening News’! I’d like to know, what was your reaction when you found out you scored full marks in the Gaokao?”

“Well, I was quite happy. I had estimated my score to be between 745 to 748, so I didn’t expect to get full marks,” Tang Feng answered.

“Which subject did you think you might lose points in?” the reporter continued to ask.

“Essay writing! Although I thought my essay was pretty good, as everyone knows, the scoring of essays is very subjective. If the marker doesn’t like it, it’s normal to lose a few points.”

“Your essay has been published in the Provincial Daily. Honestly, I was shocked after reading it! I can hardly imagine such an outstanding essay coming from a high school student!”

“You flatter me,” Tang Feng said, a bit embarrassed.

The reporters took turns interviewing Tang Feng.

After interviewing Tang Feng, they proceeded to interview Su Xiaoli.

The front of the teaching building was bustling and lively.

Principal Fang and He Yong were also busy.

As the homeroom teacher of Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli, He Yong was interviewed by several media outlets.

Perhaps because he had prepared in advance, He Yong’s statements were passionate and emotional, touching the reporters on site.

Time passed by the second.

After the interviews were over, He Yong took Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli back to the classroom.

“How’s everyone doing? Have you all finished filling out your application forms?” He Yong asked from the podium.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli found seats and sat down.

Everyone stood up and handed their completed application forms to He Yong.

Of course, their gazes couldn’t help but linger on Tang Feng’s face for a long time.

“Xiaoli, why is everyone looking at me? Is there something on my face?” Tang Feng whispered.

“Nothing!” Su Xiaoli checked carefully, “There’s nothing.”

After collecting the application forms, He Yong left the classroom.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli didn’t stay either, leaving the school together.

“I’ve observed carefully! Tang Feng really does seem much more handsome than before!”

“Could it be that he had plastic surgery during the break after the entrance examination?”

“Come on! His face is obviously natural!”

“How did I not notice how handsome he was before! His looks really hit me right in the heart!”

“With his looks, he could totally apply for Jingcheng’s Film Department! He could become a big star in the future!”

“Are you crazy? He’s the proud top science scorer of Dongshan Province! You want him to apply for Jingcheng’s Film Department? Why don’t you suggest he go to Lanxiang Technical School!”

“Being so handsome and so good at studying, he’ll probably attract a lot of girls at Jingcheng University! It seems like Su Xiaoli is under a lot of pressure!”

“That’s for sure! Although she has a big advantage compared to us, at Jingcheng University, she has no advantage at all and might even be at the bottom!”

“When that time comes, whether Tang Feng is still willing to be with her is really hard to say.”

“Is it appropriate for you to talk about them behind their backs like this?” Ding Xinyu, who had been silent, stood up and left.

Everyone suddenly looked at each other.

Then they packed up their things and left.
