Chapter 359: 138 Found Sister Lan’s true score, Director Chen returns_1
Boyuan Base was established by the renowned mathematician Jiu Boyuan, who has significant international influence in Jiangjing.
Programs like Boyuan Base and the Wenchong Plan are only known to a part of the top students; naturally, Shen Qing and the arts-focused Ji Shaojun have no idea about them.
When Shen Qing asked the question fearfully, Xu Wenyao also became somewhat confused. Was Shen Qing so nervous because she believed Boyuan to be an unlawful place?
If Boyuan Base found out, they would likely feel quite helpless.
“No,” Xu Wenyao turned around, explaining to Shen Qing as gently as possible, “Boyuan Base is the most famous summer camp in Jiangjing, generally only top students can get in.”
Top students?
As Xu Wenyao mentioned these three words, Shen Qing was also perplexed.
She remembered Bai Lian’s persona in Beicheng, a woman of no academic or artistic merit, similar in character to Ji Mulan. When Bai Lian first came to Xiangcheng, Shen Qing disdained her.
Only later did she find out that Bai Lian was different from Ji Mulan.
But… what does “top student” have to do with Bai Lian?
Noticing Shen Qing’s confusion, Xu Wenyao calmed down, started the car again, and followed the navigation onto the main road, “So, Alian… studies there?”
The Ji Family always said that Bai Lian was studying hard.
Xu Wenyao and Xu En both thought she was at the library since the Jiangjing Library is well-stocked; Xu Wenyao even considered advising Bai Lian to study there.
But was she at Boyuan Base??
“She studies at Boyuan Base,” Ji Heng lowered the car window slightly, letting the cold wind blow in, and also doubted in his mind, “Is that really a place only for top students?”
Their family never brought up grades in front of Bai Lian.
Ji Heng and Ji Shaojun always thought that Bai Shaoke and Bai Shaoqi had impacted Bai Lian too much; she even switched to science for them, so they tried to avoid mentioning such sad topics.
And as for Bai Lian, the more she learned about modern knowledge, the more she realized how superficial her own understanding was.
They didn’t ask, and she never told her scores, only Jiang Fulai would ask her.
“Yes,” Xu Wenyao nodded.
He looked at the rearview mirror quietly, feeling for the first time that even his usually steady family could be unreliable.
Asking them wouldn’t yield any information, but Xu Wenyao suddenly remembered the message Xu Zhiyue sent him last time, mentioning a very attractive girl at the special training class.
At the time, Xu Wenyao didn’t care about that message.
But now recalling it…
The museum was on the edge of Shimen District, some distance from Chang’an District, but luckily there was still time before traffic jams, so it took nearly forty minutes to reach Boyuan Base.
As soon as Xu Wenyao parked the car by the roadside, he saw Bai Lian coming out of Boyuan Base.
He: “…”
It wasn’t just Xu Wenyao; Ji Heng and the other three were also quite silent, except for Jiang He who was watching Bai Lian with shining eyes.
Ji Shaojun handed back the candied haw to Jiang He, then silently offered it to Bai Lian.
Jiang He had eaten three haws off the stick, revealing its pointed end. When they got on the car, Ji Shaojun had taken away the candied haw.
Bai Lian looked down at the candied haw, pausing for a moment, not taking it immediately.
“Not eating?” Ji Shaojun asked.
It was during the memorial service when he saw them laid out, and upon coming out, he saw Jiang He wanting to eat them, so he had bought some for the kids as well.
Regaining her senses, Bai Lian took the candied haw, looked up, and gave Ji Shaojun a rare warm smile, “I’ll eat.”
It had been a long time since an elder bought her one.
Ji Shaojun pondered to himself.
“Alian,” Shen Qing could never keep her thoughts to herself, “Wenyao said that this place is only for top students, is that right?”
“Yes,” Ji Shaojun added from the side, “Wenyao said that to be admitted here, students must be exceptionally talented, with most even having the potential to compete for the national top exam scores.”
Xu Wenyao nodded.
“No,” Bai Lian was well aware of her current abilities; she was still far behind in biology and chemistry, “I can’t compare to them.”
She unhurriedly unwrapped the candy haw stick.
A very honest answer.
Next to her, Jiang He stopped munching on his candied haw and looked up at Bai Lian in disbelief.
“I knew it,” Shen Qing nodded, then seemed a bit regretful, “You just shifted from arts to science; how could you suddenly become a top student. But that’s okay, Alian, we take things one step at a time.”
Their emotions were like riding a roller coaster.
The three of them didn’t understand, but Xu Wenyao knew very well about Boyuan’s system, “Although the hardest part to get into Boyuan is the recommendation, one still needs to reach a certain score to enter, applying two months in advance.”
“I hadn’t reached the standard; my comprehensive science wasn’t passing at that time,” Bai Lian said nonchalantly, “But I’ve always had perfect scores in math, so Boyuan made an exception and let me in.”
Xu Wenyao was extremely shocked, “Math perfect score? Exceptional admission?”
Bai Lian looked at Xu Wenyao with surprise, not really understanding his expression, “Yeah.”
There were many students at Boyuan Base more rounded than her, and the tests she took were only C level, not a big deal, right?
Xu Wenyao: “…” freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
No, to be admitted by Boyuan as an exception, one must have the caliber to at least get into Jiangjing University.
Hadn’t the Ji Family always stated that Bai Lian’s grades were poor?
Especially Ji Mulan, worried that Bai Lian couldn’t get into university, was even planning to send her to an international high school and arrange for her to study abroad.
