Chapter 63 Science Top Scorer
Chapter 63 Science Top Scorer
"Ring ring ring..."
Suddenly, a rapid phone call interrupted the heated discussion in the meeting room.
He Chengwei raised his hand to signal the editors to be quiet for the time being.
He reached for the landline receiver, and after saying "hello," his voice immediately rose an octave with excitement, as if he'd heard something said on the other end, "What?! Has this news been confirmed...? Has Comrade Yu Zhen been notified by phone...?"
When the editors heard him mention Yu Zhen on the phone, their ears perked up immediately.
Those sitting closer tilted their heads even more intently, trying to eavesdrop on the sounds coming from the microphone.
I noticed that Editor-in-Chief He was talking on the phone with increasing enthusiasm.
Everyone who was initially agitated suddenly became incredibly excited, speculating that there must be some good news about Comrade Yu Zhen.
*Smash!*
A short while later.
Editor-in-Chief He finally finished his call, hung up the landline, turned around, and saw everyone staring intently at him. He immediately burst into laughter.
"Ha, that was a call from the Municipal Transportation Commission. Hahaha, guess what they told us on the phone? Ha, our colleague Yu Zhen's exam results are out! Yu Zhen scored 455 points! First in the city for science! The top science student in the city!!!"
"Hahaha, our Comrade Yu Zhen has achieved the outstanding result of becoming the top science student in the entire city!!!"
Boom! ~~
The meeting room suddenly erupted in a commotion.
The editors were all shouting and yelling excitedly. Some slammed their fists on the table, some clenched their fists, and some jumped up and down, each more excited than the last.
Goodness, everyone had some guesses about the fact that the great writer Yu was taking the big exam.
The general consensus is that Yu Zhenneng might get a very good score and be able to attend a better university in the city based on his own abilities, but it doesn't matter. Even if the score isn't ideal, the city government leader, Vice President Zhang, has already given him a hint.
In any case, there will definitely be a top-notch university waiting for Yu Zhen to study at.
After all, there is only one such great science fiction writer in the entire country.
The best universities in Shanghai aren't trying to retain students by using their highest quality degree resources.
Are we to allow the capital or Qinxi to take advantage of Confucius and openly poach people with their superior university resources?
The entire city would rise up in protest, cursing the relevant leaders and the universities in Shanghai, calling them all brainless idiots.
Well, Comrade Yu Zhen, you really are an unexpected surprise!
Without making a sound, he achieved the outstanding result of becoming the top science student in the city.
This can't be described as just the God of Literature descending to earth!
"Meeting adjourned, meeting adjourned. Today is a joyous occasion, let's not dwell on those unpleasant things for now. Our entire company is having a big celebration today, and everyone is on temporary leave for the day..."
President Huang's worried expression vanished, and he immediately spoke up, arranging for someone to inform the cafeteria so they could take the opportunity to celebrate.
To put it in the words of President Huang, who is not superstitious, this was a way to take advantage of the joyous occasion of Yu Zhuangyuan's success in the imperial examination, to cleanse the association of bad luck, and to boost morale for everyone.
The veteran editors responded with laughter and jokes.
This is something that deserves a grand and lively celebration!
My colleague was the top science student in his high school. If this were ancient times, he would be qualified to ride a horse through the streets, wearing a red flower on his chest, with ceremonial guards beating drums and gongs along the way, celebrating the arrival of good fortune for three whole days.
The other senior editors laughed and joked as they poured out of the meeting room.
Joyful and celebratory sounds quickly filled the courtyard of No. 74 Shaoxing Road.
President Huang called out to He Chengwei, and whispered a few words in his ear.
"We couldn't get in touch with Comrade Yu Zhen at the Municipal Transportation Commission. I reckon around this time, he's probably at the Peace Hotel, working on the manuscript with Translator Feng..."
Upon hearing this, He Chengwei immediately scratched his head and touched his nose, letting out an awkward laugh.
"You're asking me to find Comrade Yu Zhen and bring him back to the commune, instead of just calling to let him know...?"
President Huang glared at him. "Be serious. Xiao Yu has never been able to find her family. Our organization is like Xiao Yu's family home."
The child is becoming more and more successful now. With fame comes trouble, and as elders, we have to do everything we can to protect him.
Moreover, I reckon the news of the top science student will soon spread like wildfire throughout the city, and newspaper reporters will probably try every means to come knocking on his door.
"You saw Xiao Yu, well, anyway, give him a heads-up, whatever you do, don't let anyone with ulterior motives jump to conclusions and make baseless accusations..."
"Understood! I know what's important!"
He Chengwei stopped joking and nodded seriously. He then turned and quickly left the meeting room. He soon retrieved his bicycle from the bicycle shed in the courtyard and rode it out of the gate of No. 74 Shaoxing Road, heading straight for the Peace Hotel.
at the same time.
The congratulatory call from the Municipal Transportation Commission quickly followed into the Municipal Government compound, where Director Gan of the Commission reported the good news directly to Vice Chairman Zhang.
Upon hearing this news, Vice-Director Zhang could hardly believe it and exclaimed that it was too unexpected.
After confirming repeatedly, they even mentioned whether they could find the original exam paper of Yu Zhen.
In short, the fact that Yu Zhen, a great science fiction writer, unexpectedly achieved the top score in the city's science exam is of extraordinary significance and will undoubtedly become a hot topic of national attention once the news is released.
Standing at the level of Zhang Fushi's position and role, his perspective on issues is certainly different from that of ordinary people.
Moreover, this also involves the fairness, openness, and impartiality of the major examination.
The real fear is that some people with dark intentions will make wild guesses and speculate wildly about whether there is any deception or manipulation by the Shanghai authorities behind this event, or whether they are deliberately using Yu Zhen's status as a science fiction writer to create a star...
There's no doubt that someone actually intends to do this.
Instead, it is essential to confirm beforehand that Comrade Yu Zhen's exam results, and that there was absolutely no possibility of any falsification during the entire examination process, so as to completely eliminate any pretext for those who make unfounded accusations.
There's no way around it; the tallest tree catches the most wind, and the most outstanding tree in the forest will inevitably be felled by the wind.
Who can blame them when Comrade Yu Zhen becomes more and more outstanding and radiant!
To be able to forge a unique path in the field of literary creation, allowing science fiction literature, which previously had almost no place to survive in China, to shine brightly on the international stage—such an achievement is already a height that countless artists can only dream of reaching in their entire lives.
And now, without making a sound, Comrade Yu Zhen has once again achieved excellent results in the major exam, becoming the top science student in the city!
Sure enough, they took even better care of her...
