Chapter 38 Genius List

"Go ahead."

Yang Ting waved her hand wearily, not wanting to argue with Ye Fan about this anymore.

There was nothing she could do, Ye Fan's grades were too good.

Abnormally good...

The national college entrance exam this year wasn't just for Imperial Capital, many other regions were also included in the list.

Only a few regions were still using their own local exam papers. According to the Ministry of Education's statistics, this year, candidates taking the national college entrance exam accounted for 93% of all candidates nationwide!

Therefore, the scores of the national college entrance exam this year were incredibly important, more so than ever before.

To be the top scorer in the national college entrance exam was a supreme honor!

Because of this, Yang Ting had an unusually high tolerance for a genius student like Ye Fan.

Of course, this only applied to Ye Fan.

If it were any other student in the class, she would have exploded long ago.

"Thank you, teacher."

Ye Fan nodded and turned to leave the classroom.

His destination: the library.

But just as he stepped out of the teaching building, someone stopped him.

Zhan Chongshan had just received a notice from the Ministry of Education and was on his way to Dean Wu Ronghua's office. As he passed by the teaching building, he happened to see Ye Fan strolling out.

Wasn't he supposed to be taking an exam?

Why was Ye Fan out here???

Confused, Zhan Chongshan quickened his pace and stopped Ye Fan. He said with a smile, "Ye Fan, where are you going?"

Ye Fan stopped and replied calmly, "It's boring staying in the classroom, so I'm going to the library to read for a while."

An average student, suddenly stopped by the principal, would definitely be very nervous.

But Ye Fan, on the other hand, was calm and collected, his expression revealing nothing. Even his tone of voice was as casual as if he was chatting with a neighbor.

Zhan Chongshan initially wanted to say that this wasn't a good influence, but remembering Ye Fan's performance in his office the day before yesterday, he swallowed his words.

Geniuses couldn't be judged by the same standards.

"Come with me."

Zhan Chongshan led Ye Fan to a small path north of the teaching building and said mysteriously, "Let me tell you some news in advance."

"What news?"

"I received a notice from the Ministry of Education. They've set up a 'Genius List' for this year's college entrance exam. This..."

"Genius List?"

Hearing these two words, Ye Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and many related memories surfaced in his mind.

In his previous life, in early 2015, the Ministry of Education announced that ten out of the thirteen regions using local exam papers would switch to the national college entrance exam, meaning that over 90% of candidates would be taking the national exam. To motivate students, they established a list called the 'Genius List'.

It was said that all the students who could make it onto the Genius List would be listed as key training targets, with incredibly good benefits.

However, the Genius List had nothing to do with Ye Fan. At that time, he had already been working in society for a year and had no interest in learning about it. He had only glanced at the news and didn't know the details.

2015 was also the year Ye Fan met Ning Xi.

Therefore, he clearly remembered all the major events that happened that year clearly.

But now it was only 2010. The Genius List had appeared five years earlier than in his previous life.

Ye Fan couldn't help but wonder.

Could it be that his rebirth had caused changes in the timeline of the world?

Zhan Chongshan chattered on for a long time, but when he looked up, he saw Ye Fan frowning with his head lowered, lost in thought.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he coughed. "Well... Ye Fan, you go to the library first, I still have things to do, so I'll leave you to it."

No reaction.

Ye Fan didn't react at all.

"..."

"Ahem!"

Zhan Chongshan coughed loudly.

"Hmm?"

Ye Fan came back to his senses and said, "Principal, you haven't left yet?"

"..."

...

The day passed in a tense atmosphere.

Of course, not for Ye Fan.

For Chinese, math, English, and comprehensive science, he only spent less than two hours in the classroom, the rest of the time was spent in the library.

5:00 p.m., half an hour before school ended.

In the principal's office.

The seven homeroom teachers of the senior year gathered together, confusion was evident on each of their faces.

Zhan Chongshan took a sip from his teacup and said, "Are you all wondering why I suddenly called you here?"

The seven teachers nodded in unison.

Today was Zhenhua High School's monthly exam, and after this exam, the city-wide mock exam, the first mock exam, would soon follow.

There would also be a second and third mock exam, meaning that this was the last monthly exam for the senior year. Moreover, the results of this monthly exam were also related to the spots in the Tsinghua University Elite Class.

Therefore, all the homeroom teachers attached great importance to this exam. At this time, they should have been proctoring the exam in their respective classrooms, but they were suddenly called here by Zhan Chongshan.

They were indeed very confused...

Luo Haifeng, the homeroom teacher of Class 1, Science Stream, stood up and said, "Principal, just tell us directly. I'm in a hurry to go back to proctor the exam, so let's keep it short."

The other teachers didn't say anything.

In the entire Zhenhua High School, Luo Haifeng was the only teacher who dared to talk to Zhan Chongshan like this.

After all, he was a Tsinghua University graduate, a golden boy!

"Haha!"

Zhan Chongshan didn't mind Luo Haifeng's tone and said with a smile, "Haifeng, don't be in such a hurry."

With that, he put down his teacup, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the seven teachers. He said in a deep voice, "I called you here today for a very important matter."

"I received a notice from the Ministry of Education. They've set up a Genius List specifically for this year's college entrance exam."

"Genius List?"

The seven teachers looked at Zhan Chongshan with confusion.

What was that?

Zhan Chongshan wasn't surprised by their reaction and continued, "There are a total of one hundred spots on the Genius List. The top ninety-seven candidates in the national college entrance exam can make it onto the list, and the three highest-scoring students from the regions using local exam papers can also join the Genius List."

"However, these three students can only be ranked at the bottom. As for the ranking of the candidates taking the national exam, it will be based on their scores."

"Students on the Genius List will not only receive generous bonuses but will also be given priority for training."

"The one hundred students on the Genius List will be divided into two classes, studying at Tsinghua University, the top-ranked university in the country, and Peking University, the second-ranked university, for half a year each."

"Students with outstanding results can not only obtain graduation certificates from both universities, but more importantly, they can also qualify to join the Academy of Sciences."

"What?!"

After Zhan Chongshan finished speaking, the seven people on the sofa couldn't sit still anymore and stood up one after another.

Surprise, disbelief!!!

Genius List, studying at two top universities, qualifying for the Academy of Sciences...

This news was too shocking, they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

The teachers who could teach at Zhenhua High School were naturally not ordinary people. After digesting this information, they became excited, their eyes filled with anticipation.

The Genius List?

A nationwide competition among candidates... exciting!!!
