School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Chapter 201 A Huge Happy Event

"But isn't the academic atmosphere at Tsinghua University and Peking University very good?" Liu Jinmei said with a bitter smile.

"A talented genius, no matter where they are, is the same," Li Hengzhong glanced at Liu Jinmei and then continued, "So, we don't need to interfere with others' lives or deliberately plan them for others."

"Alright!" Liu Jinmei nodded.

Subsequently, Liu Jinmei immediately took out the application form and handed it to Xiao Han.

Xiao Han quickly filled out the application for Shuimu University. Each school had its corresponding code; he just needed to fill in the code. Soon, Xiao Han had submitted the application form.

"Why not fill out a second choice?" Li Dapang also symbolically filled out his form, but unlike Xiao Han, Li Dapang filled in the second and third choices too. For Li Dapang, whether he got accepted or not didn't matter, as he had never considered going to university. Yang Xiaoyan's marks had reached the tier-two university threshold, so she was determined to attend university.

It is said that university is a necessary phase in life, and without it, life is incomplete.

"With Xiao Han's scores, does he need to fill out a second choice?" Li Hengzhong challenged from the side.

"Oh, that's true!" Once Li Dapang heard this, he had a sudden realization and said, "Nowadays, universities across the nation are hoping that Xiao Han would apply to them. So, if Xiao Han applied to Shuimu University, I guess the teachers there would be overjoyed, right?"

"Exactly!" Li Hengzhong chuckled and then said, "Perhaps, for them, this is an opportunity to enhance the reputation of their school."

"Alright." Xiao Han stood up and said, "Thank you, teachers, for your guidance. I'll be going now."

Having said that, Xiao Han prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Li Hengzhong hastily said, "Regarding your speech, I have already reported it to the Education Bureau. This time, the Education Bureau is very concerned about your performance and also your speech. So, I've decided, on the day of your speech, to simply invite all the journalists who want to interview you. How about we turn it into a large-scale speaking event?"

"Sure!" Xiao Han nodded and said, "I will leave everything to Principal Li and follow your arrangements."

"Good," Li Hengzhong immediately nodded in agreement.

Xiao Han quickly slipped out of the office, moving very fast. Li Dapang also hurriedly scampered out of the scene.

The two of them left the scene as swiftly as mice stealing oil.

Meanwhile, in Class 3 of the senior year, the students were curiously waiting for Xiao Han's arrival. They hadn't seen Xiao Han since the national college entrance exams. However, they still hadn't seen Xiao Han even after the application process was over.

"Teacher Liu, why hasn't Xiao Han come?" someone curiously asked.

"You don't need to wait for him," Liu Jinmei said with a smile, a trace of helplessness in her eyes, then added, "Xiao Han won't be coming."

"Why?" the crowd eagerly looked up.

"Because Xiao Han has already finished his applications," Liu Jinmei said with a smile.

"Really?" a student hastily said, "But we haven't seen Xiao Han from beginning to end."

"I know!" At this moment, a boy hurriedly said, "Xiao Han must have been secretly recruited by Tsinghua or Peking University, because, after all, a student as outstanding as him would definitely be sought after by many universities."

"That's true," everyone nodded.

................

As the first student since the founding of New China to score full marks in the national college entrance exams, he naturally became an object of attention for the entire nation.

Therefore, from Central Television to various local stations, hundreds of media reporters were searching everywhere for traces of Xiao Han, all wanting to conduct an exclusive interview with the top scorer of the national exams.

Fuxing Community.

At the entrance, Auntie Zhou called over a group of Residents' Committee workers and loaded a truck full of firecrackers.

"Auntie Zhou, what day is it today?" someone in the community curiously asked, "Why such a huge bunch of firecrackers? What great joy are we celebrating in our community?"

"A joyous occasion, a great joyous occasion!" Auntie Zhou wore a red gown, her excitement clear as she said, "I'll tell you, this is a great joyous occasion. I just received a message from the higher-ups that our community's Xiao Han scored excellently in the national college entrance exams, even becoming the top scorer nationwide.

This is a huge event, something that has never happened in Fuxing Community since its establishment. In ancient times, this would have been akin to topping the imperial exams. We must celebrate this properly."

"My goodness, really?" The crowd of residents, upon hearing this, was instantly overjoyed.

Mother Xiao had already received the news at home. At first, she thought it was a hoax, but when Auntie Zhou from the Residents' Committee came to congratulate her, it became clear that it was true. Faced with the growing number of people coming to congratulate her, Mother Xiao felt overwhelmed and could only keep repeating words of thanks.

The house was full of guests, visiting to give thanks.

Outside the community entrance, there were bursts of firecrackers. At the entrance, a long banner was hung up: "Congratulations to student Xiao Han for scoring full marks of 750 and becoming this year's top scorer in the national exam."

At Xiao's family door, people crowded to visit, many bringing their children to feel the atmosphere of the top scorer's home and to hope their children could absorb some of the top scorer's wisdom. Neighbors from either side brought gifts and some even gave red envelopes directly. Mother Xiao, overwhelmed, found herself the recipient of both the red envelopes and gifts.

Mother Xiao was moved by these scenes.

This was a tremendous joy; she finally felt that her son had become successful, had truly made it. Her only thought was to quickly get Xiao Han back home to find out if all of this was indeed real and why it all seemed like a dream.

Soon after, Xiao Han returned.

"The top scorer is back," someone shouted.

Immediately, the crowd made way, and Xiao Han, with a stunned expression, hadn't expected his home to be blocked by people. Behind Xiao Han, Big Fatty was also surprised, muttering, "Oh my, this... this is too extravagant, isn't it?"

"You all... what is this?" Xiao Han looked at the crowd.

"Xiao Han, congratulations," nearby Uncle Wang quickly said, "You became the top scorer without a peep, that's really something to celebrate."

"Exactly!" Auntie Zhou hastily said, "Listen up, everyone, we'll set up ten tables in the community's large courtyard; we're going to have a feast for three days and nights. Our Fuxing Community has been around for over thirty years, but we've never had a top scorer before. Unexpectedly, Xiao Han has become not only a top scorer but also the top of the nation. This is indeed a joyous occasion."

"Exactly, let's all chip in!" the crowd shouted.

"The community will fund it!" Auntie Zhou quickly said, "I'll apply for some funds from the higher authorities later, I believe they will provide."

"Great!" Everyone applauded.

At that moment, several media vans sped in. Over a dozen journalists and photographers rushed over.

"The journalists have arrived," Auntie Zhou was already used to this. She had lots of experience hosting journalists when Li Yunpeng's story had blown up.

"Auntie Zhou," Xiao Han quickly approached and said, "Please help, I... I don't want to meet with journalists, could you please take care of them for me, I... I'll be leaving first."

Having said that, Xiao Han ran off.

"Wait for me!" Big Fatty quickly shouted, chasing after him.

A few breathless journalists ran over and asked, "Excuse me... is this Xiao Han's home?"

"Exactly," Auntie Zhou, quick-witted, then smiled and said, "But Xiao Han isn't home right now, only his mother is. If you don't mind, you could first sit at the Residents' Committee, and whatever you need to know, we can tell you."

A few journalists paused, then one of them suggested, "How about this, we first visit Xiao Han's home to get some shots and film his study environment."

"Yes!" a female journalist immediately agreed.

Then, several journalists and photographers squeezed in.

Mother Xiao appeared bewildered, being a strong woman, yet she had never encountered such a situation in her life. She could only stand there, unsure how to proactively greet the journalists.

Auntie Zhou then demonstrated her capabilities as head of the Residents' Committee. She led the journalists around Xiao's home, earnestly explaining, "This is Xiao Han's home; the family is poor and from a young age, this child has always been incredibly hardworking. Additionally, during his middle school exam, he was also Wangjiang District's top scorer.

So, we weren't surprised that he became a top scorer in the high school exam; only we didn't expect him to suddenly become the top of the nation."

The journalists curiously toured Xiao Han's home, which was indeed very poor, with not a single decent piece of furniture. Even Xiao Han's room had no air conditioner, making it hard to imagine how he endured the summer nights in that room with only one window.

"It's really poor indeed," a photographer commented while shooting, "Indeed, a poor child learns to shoulder responsibilities early."

"Yes," Auntie Zhou nodded, "Xiao Han's father passed away when he had just started high school, and since then, it's all been up to his mother to support the family."

Soon, the journalists surrounded Mother Xiao with many questions, which she answered, though appearing somewhat constrained, her eyes couldn't hide her pride in her son. After interviewing her, the journalists moved on to the Residents' Committee. Auntie Zhou found a few people who knew Xiao Han well to cooperate with the journalists' interviews.

After one group of journalists completed their interviews, another group arrived.
