Chapter 87 The College Entrance Examination (1)

2062 Words
It was only after Lu Yao left the Yadu Hotel that he realized that there was no way to get a taxi here. It made sense. No stupid taxi driver would come here to solicit business. If he did, he would be broke long ago. How would a person who could enter such a high standard place take a taxi that cost only a few bucks? The rich people who came here were driving either Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW X-Class, or they would be driving Range Rovers. At worst, they would have Aodi A6s. How could there be anyone who would take a taxi? Even if one was on a business trip, he would definitely be accompanied by others when he went in and out of the hotel, and there would be a car to pick him up and send him off because the man who could live here was obviously not low in status. Lu Yao refused to take a luxurious car, and went out to hail a taxi. This was rare. However, with Lu Yao's current speed, it was not difficult for him to walk home. So after he thought about it clearly, he quickly walked into the gradually darkening night... By the time Fang Jinghua thought of this and went out to find Lu Yao, Lu Yao had already disappeared. . . In this era, the college entrance examination was the most valuable opportunity for students to change their destiny. If those students from poor families could achieve good results, they would step onto a different path of life through their own efforts. After the exam, two people between whom there had been a small gap would go on two completely different paths. In the era when Lu Yao lived, many experts, scholars, and even ordinary people talked about the drawbacks of the college entrance examination system and called for the government to cancel the exam on various conferences and occasions. However, when you really experienced it, you would find that the college entrance examination could actually change a person's life. In ancient Shina, only in a noble family could you have a high status. However, in modern society, if you were able to nurture a child that was capable enough, then even if you were a beggar, you would still be able to change your life if your child entered an elite university. The college entrance examination system's predecessor was the ancient imperial examination system. In that era, the system had shouldered the great responsibility of selecting outstanding talented people for the imperial court and the country. It effectively increased administrative management efficiency for the emperor and cultivated generations of scholars and literati. And before this, the selection method that was based on nepotism and connections had destroyed one great dynasty after another. Looking at the present situation, it was also the same. Every year, through the college entrance examination, many young talented people were selected. Many grass-roots workers got their jobs after they achieved good grades in the college entrance examination and studied at prestigious universities. Therefore, in the hearts of all the people of Shina, the college entrance examination was supreme. In these two days, all of Shina's government agencies had to serve for the college entrance examination. Traffic officers, the police... All went out to maintain order in the slightly crowded Shuangta City. All vehicles on the streets were not allowed to make any sound, be it a good car or a tricycle. On all the construction sites, workers had to stop working unconditionally. They were not even allowed to move bricks, because as long as there were people gathering there, it would be noisy. All the small businesses had to close their shops after the examination began. The police cars, taxis, and even private cars had to unconditionally serve the students who were about to take part in the college entrance examination. Even when you were in a hurry, if a senior student encountered difficulties and you did not extend your hand to help, then you would definitely be disdained by people. Near the schools where the exam was held, there were autonomous order-maintenance teams. There were men, women, old people, and children. They were actively working together to create a quiet and comfortable environment for the candidates inside. Lu Yao was assigned to Zhiyang Secondary School to take the exam. It was near the No.1 High School in Shuangta City. The day before the college entrance examination, namely the day before the meeting with Fang Jinghua, Lu Yiqian and Lu Yao had taken the time to come over, and they had already seen the examination venue and the examination room in advance. The seat for Lu Yao was relatively ideal. His seat was at the door and the place was well-ventilated and refreshing. Moreover, it was right under the eyes of the invigilator. Generally speaking, no one would dare to copy the exam papers of the candidate in this seat unless they wanted to be expelled from the exam venue and their scores canceled. According to the usual practice, the Education Bureau would make some special arrangements for a student with outstanding grades like Lu Yao when they selected a seat for him. Because a few years ago, a tragic case happened. At that time, there was a village student with particularly good grades. The night before the college entrance examination, he was threatened by another student who acted like a gangster. The gangster-like student was ignorant and incompetent, and he threatened the village kid with a knife on his neck. During the examination, the village student had to constantly pass notes to the gangster-like student. As a result, the good student was under too much pressure in the exam, and he didn't do well in the exam. Therefore, he was not admitted to the university he liked. In the end, on a rainy night, he directly jumped down from the roof of the teaching building. Although there was an emergency rescue for him, in the end, the hospital still announced that the rescue was ineffective and the student died. What a pity! So in the end, after this incident happened, Xinlu Province and even the entire Shina strived to make sure that things like this would not happen. In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, an expert proposed an unwritten rule. . . On June 7th. In Shuangta City, Xinlu Province, Shina. The clear sky was cloudless. The sun was burning, making people feel scorching hot. There weren't many pedestrians on the street as usual, but at Zhiyang Secondary School's gate, the parents who sent their kids into the school surrounded the school entrance. There were many parents who had been working in other cities all year round. It was also very rare for them to ask for leave from the foreman and come back to accompany their children to attend the college entrance examination. The family members of some families that lived relatively close to the school all came here. Even the student's grandparents and great-grandparents were here. In short, the family members of all the children who participated in the college entrance examination would do everything they could to help their children do well in the exam because their children had spent ten years preparing for it. They wanted their children to go to the ideal university in their hearts. Early this morning, Wang Ping drove his Aodi A6 to send Lu Yao to take the exam. However, he did not expect that there would be so many people. The car was blocked by a group of old women wearing red armbands who voluntarily teamed up to maintain the order around the school. They did not let Wang Ping drive the car inside no matter what. Helpless, Wang Ping, Lu Yiqian and Lu Yao could only walk in. There was still an hour before the start of the exam, and many examinees were still patiently waiting at the entrance of the school, listening to the nagging of their parents, relatives and friends. "Lu Yao, are you nervous?" Regardless of whether Lu Yao was nervous or not, Wang Ping looked a little nervous at this time. His left and right hand kept rubbing, and Lu Yao could see the sweat in his hands from the side. "I'm alright. I've already gone through countless tests in the past few years. I'm already used to it!" Lu Yao calmly looked at Wang Ping and replied. "Today you will take the exam. Why do I feel that I am more nervous than you?" Wang Ping wanted to adjust his mentality, but no matter how hard he tried, it did not seem to be effective. Wang Ping was a brave soldier who had carried a g*n, went to the battlefield, and killed people. He had never been nervous in the face of big scenes. Instead, he was unusually calm. However, for some reason, he had been afraid of going to school since he was a child. He was afraid of exams and even more afraid of teachers. This was also one of the reasons why he chose to join the army. Because he knew that going to school was not suitable for him. "Lu Yao, you are always good at Shinese. Don't be nervous, just finish the test normally!" Lu Yiqian came over to tidy up Lu Yao's clothes and said slowly. "Well, I know. Don't worry. I take the exam this time to fight for the honor for my school. I have already been informed about my recommendation." Lu Yao had heard this news from Yang Linchi. In fact, the notice had been sent down for a few days, but the school had never told anyone. It was just that they were afraid that the good students who had already been admitted to the university would be over-relaxed and would not be able to perform properly. The school was still counting on them to fight for greater glory. The bell was ringing. The crisp sound echoed in everyone's ears. This was not the start of the exam. The ringing of the bell was meant to tell every examinee and parent that there was still half an hour before the start, and that all examinees should enter the exam halls. "Go, the exam is about to begin!" After Lu Yiqian checked Lu Yao's stationery over and over again, he urged Lu Yao to walk towards the exam hall. After saying goodbye to the two of them, Lu Yao walked towards the exam hall. . . Fifteen minutes before the exam, two invigilators walked into the exam hall with tightly sealed folders in their hands. The first test was Shinese. An invigilator was standing on the podium and reading the exam hall's discipline. The other teacher checked each candidate's exam admission ticket number, exam hall number, and exam number from the 01 seat in the exam hall. Then, he looked at the photos on the exam admission ticket and compared the face of the examinee. Only after the teacher confirmed that the one in the seat was the examinee without a doubt would the examinee be able to take the exam. After reading out the exam hall's discipline, the invigilator raised the sealed file bag and said, "Everyone, take a good look. The file is sealed." Then he took the small knife and opened the seal along the edge of the file. After the preparations, the broadcast announced that there were still five minutes before the exam and the invigilators should hand out the test papers. The invigilator took out the test papers from the sealed folder and began to distribute the papers. As he distributed them, he loudly reminded all the examinees to fill in their names, schools, and exam admission ticket numbers according to the rules. The examinees should write their personal information in the designated area on the paper, otherwise, the test papers would be invalid. Moreover, the examinees who got the test papers were not allowed to start answering the questions first. They had to wait for the bell to ring. Otherwise, they would also be treated as cheating... At exactly nine o'clock, the order that the examination started was sent over the radio on time. At this time, all the examinees were completely focused on the exam.
