The Dongfang Private High School finally got a top student in the college entrance examination. Principal Wang was even more happy and excited than the top student herself. On the phone, he couldn’t say anything other than repeating this sentence, which made Lin Xu a little worried.
Zheng Guangyan came over with a plate of fruit. When she heard loud laughter from the phone, she couldn’t help but look sideways, then asked silently: “Who is it?”
Lin Xu made a gesture, took a breather in the middle of Principal Wang’s laughter, and finally asked: “Principal Wang, are you saying that our Qingyin is the top student in the college entrance examination in Qi City?”
When Zheng Guangyan heard this, she immediately sat next to Lin Xu and pressed her ear tightly from the phone. She wanted to hear the good news with her ears.
Principal Wang’s voice was a bit sharp because of the excitement. It was three octaves higher than usual: “Not only the top student in the college entrance examination in Qi City but also the top scorer in all provincial college entrance examination! 735 points!!! She has more than a dozen points than the last year’s top scorer in the college entrance examination!”
Lin Xu and his wife stood up in shock, and their voices soared immediately: “Principal Wang, are you sure? We haven’t opened the webpage yet. Is this score accurate?”
“Of course, I checked it myself.” Principal Wang happily pulled his hair and added with great confidence: “I won’t talk to you anymore, I have to make a new banner quickly. Before, I am only expecting her to be the top student in the college entrance examination in Qi City, but I didn’t expect our little master will be the first place in all the provinces.”
Principal Wang can’t control his excitement anymore and hung up the phone. When Lin Xu and his wife heard the beep sounds from the phone, they felt that it was not real.
“The champion of the provinces! We need to set up a few tables!” Lin Xu stood up and circled the living room: “Invite your mother, brothers, and the others over here. Let them stay at home for a few days, and celebrate!”
Lin Xu and his wife happily called their family. Grandmother Zheng could come at any time, but her two uncles and aunts will only be free on weekends. Lin Xu discussed with the Zheng family and decided to pick up his mother-in-law and live in their house for a few days.
Grandmother Zheng always felt that because she had two sons and two daughters-in-law, she couldn’t just leave them. So even though Lin Xu invited her several times, she refused. But this time was different. Lin Qingyin became the top student in the college entrance examination. The whole family was dazzled, she was willing to stay there for a few more days to celebrate.

Lin Qingyin was sitting in the bamboo pavilion and drinking tea while meeting her clients. On the other hand, Jiang Wei was sweating anxiously outside. The Imperial Capital University and National University called one after another after the results came out. Jiang Wei can’t say that Lin Qingyin was doing fortune-telling and has no time to answer the phone, so he can only find an excuse to hang up first.
People from the admissions office also cried in their hearts. It wasn’t that they didn’t think about calling Lin Qingyin’s parents, but it was estimated that the couple was calling their relatives and friends to announce the good news, so they couldn’t get in at all.
Jiang Wei cautiously entered the divination room with the phone and found a place to sit and listen to Lin Qingyin’s fortune-telling. The client was an aunt in her 40s. She made an appointment more than half a year ago.
Her son also took the college entrance examination this year. The couple didn’t know know what to do after the entrance examination. They discussed and decided to let the little master figure out which school and which major will be the most suitable for their son. Of course, their son didn’t know about this matter. Otherwise, their family will be in a mess.
While waiting for her turn, the aunt received a call about the results from her husband. It was both good and bad. She guessed it right. Her son just barely passed. This score was a little dangerous to apply for the second rare colleges, but she was a little unwilling to let him to the third-rate colleges.
