Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Xiong Cancan Was Stunned

“I haven’t really thought about it either. Wherever the tuition is cheaper, that’s where I’ll go.”

After saying this, Xiao Zihan glanced at her grandmother under the tree, and there was a flash of resolve in her eyes.

Just like she said, it doesn’t matter which university she attends, as long as it’s a first-tier one, the tuition is cheap, and there are scholarships available, then anywhere is fine.

Because her family really couldn’t afford to give her too many choices.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi understood Xiao Zihan’s thoughts. Though his heart ached, he smiled and said:

“In that case, let’s apply to the same school.”

As for Lin Yi’s suggestion, Xiao Zihan wasn’t sure if it was a good choice because, in her mind, if Lin Yi could score 400 points, it would be quite good.

And based on her own estimates, she expected her score to exceed 630 points no matter what.

She bit her lip deeply, and finally, Xiao Zihan seemed to make up her mind:

“Then, okay, I’ll listen to you.”

This silly girl, can’t you ever refuse me? You’re adorably foolish.

…

After hanging up on Xiao Zihan’s call and walking out of the room, Lin Yi noticed that Empress Dowager Ye seemed a bit off, clearly a little upset.

Not understanding why, Lin Yi walked over to inquire and found out that his mom had called her sisters. After hearing Lin Yi’s exam results, they didn’t believe it at all, no matter how confidently his mom explained. They only replied:

“It’s only been a few days since the exam ended. Couldn’t you have been tricked? The results won’t be out until fifteen days later. Last year, Ye Xiao took the exam too. This much is very clear.”

Yet, there’s one thing Lin Yi’s uncle might not have said to save face for his sister–Does Lin Yi, who’s known as a failure all over the net, really think he could score full marks? In his dreams, maybe zero is more likely.

Right now, I’m embarrassed to admit Lin Yi is my nephew. Not for nothing, but it’s mainly shameful!

Speaking of Ye Xiao, he’s Lin Yi’s uncle’s cousin, always with good grades. Last year, he took the college entrance exam and scored more than 590 points, getting into a fairly decent first-tier university.

That really impressed the whole family. Since Lin Yi had always been disappointing in his studies, every time Empress Dowager returned, she would berate Lin Yi a few times and praise how capable their son was.

This is why Empress Dowager Ye immediately called to show off.

“Hey, Mom, why bother competing with them? Once the results come out, they’ll be floored naturally. Haha, alright, alright, you and dad better get to work.”

Just as they were talking, someone knocked on Lin Yi’s house door. Lin Yi opened it and saw to his surprise, that the principal and several middle-aged people had come.

After a round of introductions, it turned out the visitors were Director Li and some other leaders.

As Lin Yi invited them in, he was suddenly stunned. It wasn’t anyone else, but two of Lin Yi’s old acquaintances–a man and a woman–standing behind them.

Lin Yi didn’t recognize the man with the camera, but the woman was very familiar; it was Xiong Cancan, the female reporter he met after finishing the exam.

Lin Yi had no idea, but the root of his online fame was actually Xiong Cancan.

“Ha, please have a seat, space is limited at home.”

Seeing this, Lin Jianguo immediately got up to greet everyone, and Empress Dowager Ye went to the water dispenser to pour some. However, the visitors quickly smiled and waved their hands to stop her.

After a brief introduction, Lin Yi’s family also understood the reason for their visit–it was because of Lin Yi’s exam results.

Achieving a perfect score was a first in history!

When they first received the news, no one believed it, but the scores were right there, hard to deny!

After confirming the validity of the news, everyone became excited.

Although Lin Yi was just a student, this grand slam would bring earth-shattering changes to the island’s education.

This isn’t an exaggeration at all. While bringing benefits to the island, every teacher involved with Lin Yi would definitely receive significant rewards. For example, Master Extinction’s cash reward alone was one hundred thousand yuan!

After some pleasantries, Director Li directly took out a red certificate, solemnly handed it to Lin Yi, and said gratefully:

“Lin Yi, you’re great. After our deliberation, we’ve decided to award you the Island Star Student Award certificate, along with a scholarship of one million!”

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Ye and Lin Jianguo were both stunned!

One million?? The school actually awarded Lin Yi a million yuan scholarship? This is too exaggerated!

For a moment, looking at the scene in front, Empress Dowager Ye really wished she could call over her elder brother and let him open his eyes to see how excellent her son was!

As she regretted, Empress Dowager Ye noticed a young man with a camera recording the whole process behind the leaders, making her pause. Then she thought of asking for a copy of the video to show her brother.

But when Empress Dowager Ye scanned the young girl, she couldn’t help but smile, feeling a sense of pride: ‘Ha, seeing this young lady’s expression, she must be shocked by my son’s score. Her mouth is wide open–it could fit an egg!’

Of course, Lin Yi’s mom was looking at Xiong Cancan.

Originally, Xiong Cancan came in the film crew’s car, so she didn’t know the real purpose of this visit.

It wasn’t until she saw Lin Yi just now that she realized and was shocked–what on earth were the leaders doing early in the morning with this academic failure Lin?

To know that Lin gained fame all over the internet was entirely her accomplishment!

This whole thing had pleased her for several days. Moreover, because she appeared in that video, she has now become a very popular internet celebrity.

Just in KuaiShou alone, her followers have reached a super high number of eight hundred thousand.

Just last night, she even talked a lot about the academic failure Lin with her fans on the livestream, even saying she would find a chance to interview this national-level academic failure.

Who would have thought that what she talked about last night would come true today?

She was temporarily assigned by the station to accompany the leaders on this filming task, and the subject turned out to be the academic failure Lin…
