"Wow!" Song Yan was the first to react. She looked at Lin Yun with admiration. "You're the best, Brother Yun!"
Lin Yun remained calm and composed on the surface, but his heart beat violently with excitement. At the same time, he was relieved. It seemed the Chinese examiners didn't do a symbolic score reduction, as they often did back on Earth.
"A perfect score… First in history." Lin Canghai's hands trembled. He subconsciously reached for a cigarette and took a deep puff to calm himself.
"Congratulations, Little Yun," Song Ming said. He was genuinely happy for his nephew.
"Congratulations. You have created history," Lin Xiaorou said sincerely.
"Thank you, Uncle, Second Aunt," Lin Yun responded politely.
"Son, Mom loves you!" Wang Chulan came over and pulled him into an embrace. Tears of joy streamed from her eyes.
Lin Yun was startled at first but quickly adjusted his mentality. He patted her back and said, "I love you too, Mom. Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Xiaorou sat down and looked at Lin Canghai. "You don't have to worry about his tuition. It won't be long before people start rushing over. You should prepare yourself, Big Brother. I suggest you take a shower and shave your beard. You're going to appear on TV soon."
As a state-owned finance officer, she was more familiar with this kind of situation than Lin Canghai.
Lin Canghai was stunned. He extinguished his cigarette and asked, "Is that serious? It seems troublesome. What should I do?"
Looking at her brother's nervous expression, Lin Xiaorou was amused. "It's not that serious. You can say whatever you want. Just don't let Father down. Otherwise, he'll come over to strangle you."
"Right. Should we inform our parents?" Lin Canghai asked.
"I'll take care of it. They will definitely want to come over," Lin Xiaorou said gently.
"Good." Lin Canghai got up. "I'll take a shower first. Should I buy a suit?"
Lin Xiaorou rolled her eyes and waved her hand. "Go. Just wear decent clothes."
Lin Canghai didn't say anything more and ran upstairs.
Wang Chulan had also heard this. She wiped away her tears and said, "I need to put on makeup. Sister, please take care of Yun'er for a moment."
As she finished her sentence, she quickly followed her husband upstairs.
Lin Yun was amused by his parents' reactions.
"You are very calm," Song Ming said gently. He used to be a criminal investigator before being promoted to director. Lin Yun's reaction contrasted with anyone his age. Normal people would be over the moon by now.
"It would be a lie if I said I wasn't excited," Lin Yun responded with a smile. "However, I already expected this result. I estimated it to be 745 to a perfect score."
"I see," Song Ming nodded slowly.
"You have to prepare yourself as well. I'm afraid those old deans won't give up easily, especially Dean Qin of Capital University. He always strives to make Capital University the best in everything," Lin Xiaorou warned.
"I understand, Second Aunt. I don't think they will embarrass me." Lin Yun chuckled. He couldn't wait for these people to arrive, as he could use them to leverage his rewards.
Ringggg—
The landline phone suddenly rang out.
"See? It's coming," Lin Xiaorou laughed slightly and went to pick up the phone.
Soon, more and more calls rained in, and Lin Xiaorou patiently answered them one by one.
"All the top ten universities are here for you. WLIT is among them," Lin Xiaorou said after hanging up the last call. "The Eastern Nation TV is coming too. Can you handle it?"
"I can, Second Aunt. Let them come." Lin Yun naturally didn't want to miss a chance to promote himself.
"By the way, Second Aunt, I made a finance program recently, and I want to sell it. Can you take a look at it? Perhaps your company would be interested," he added.
"A finance program? Sure," Lin Xiaorou said, surprised.
Lin Yun immediately brought his second aunt to his room and showed her QuickBooks.
A while later, Lin Xiaorou said in amazement, "This is an excellent program. It can save us a lot of time. How much is it?"
"199 yuan per license," Lin Yun replied. "Of course, I can give you 150 if your company buys in bulk."
"Do you have a copy? I want to show it to my boss later," Lin Xiaorou said.
Lin Yun quickly gave her a CD. "The trial version lasts for five days."
"Understood." Lin Xiaorou looked at her nephew in admiration. "You've given me a lot of surprises today."
Lin Yun chuckled and said nothing.
"Well, I'll talk to my boss. This is good for any company," Lin Xiaorou said.
"Thank you, Second Aunt," Lin Yun said gratefully.
A few hours passed, and many people arrived at Lin's Convenience Store. The leading figure was an old man in his sixties, Dean Qin of Capital University. A group of deans from various universities followed behind him, including a crew from Eastern Nation TV.
"Welcome, everyone." Lin Xiaorou professionally invited the deans into the store, which had been renovated into a temporary meeting room.
"You are..." Dean Qin looked at Lin Xiaorou curiously. He felt as though he had seen her somewhere before.
"I'm Lin Xiaorou from the finance major, class of '87, Teacher Qin," Lin Xiaorou said with a smile. "Little Yun is my nephew."
"Ah, I remember you now." Dean Qin smiled kindly.
"Please take a seat," Lin Xiaorou said.
"Hello, deans. We're Yun'er's parents." Lin Canghai and Wang Chulan greeted everyone nervously.
Dean Qin looked at them and said, "Thank you for raising such an excellent son. He's going to be a pillar of our country."
"No, no, Dean Qin. We didn't do anything much," Lin Canghai quickly denied, but his proud expression couldn't be concealed.
Dean Qin and the others chuckled when they saw this. They would be proud as well if their children could achieve such a feat.
"Hello, esteemed guests. I'm Lin Yun. Thank you for coming all the way here. Please have a glass of water." Lin Yun walked over and skillfully distributed glasses of water to everyone.
"You are Lin Yun. Good. You are indeed a good student." Dean Qin wasn't stingy with his praise.
The other deans naturally couldn't fall behind. They quickly offered Lin Yun compliments.
Under the seemingly harmonious atmosphere, everyone was actually competing for Lin Yun's favor.
