21: Chapter 21: The College Entrance Examination!!
On the day of the college entrance exam, Hangzhou City No. 6 High School.
With the start of the college entrance exam, this place naturally became an examination site, ready to welcome the senior students.
"Students of No. 6 High School make their brilliant debut, the army of kings is unstoppable!"
"Waves would rather shatter against the reef blocking their path than take a single step back."
"Victory from the start!!"
Outside the exam venue, there were rows of slogans, and even banners fluttering on both sides of the street. Traffic was controlled, and professional personnel were maintaining order. The school gate was packed with parents, watching their children walk toward the battlefield of the college entrance exam, their eyes filled with anticipation.
For many people, the third year of high school is a watershed moment.
"Don't think too much; just treat it like a normal exam. Write as you usually do."
"If you encounter a question you don't know, skip it first. Don't get stuck there; think about it later."
"No matter the result, after the exam, I'll take you to eat something good to relax!"
The expectations of parents are never just about an exam, but about the completely different life that awaits after the college entrance exam.
Perhaps some parents have already suffered enough from lacking an education, so naturally, they do not want their children to follow the same path.
Of course, it wasn't just the parents who were nervous; Lin Xueqin was too, currently craning her neck and looking around, her expression revealing a hint of nervousness.
"What time is it? He's still not here... Please don't let anything go wrong..." Lin Xueqin looked down at the watch on her wrist from time to time, her expression full of helplessness. She knew exactly how many students were at this exam site.
"How many more from your class?" asked Wang Ziming, who was standing nearby, with some curiosity.
"Three!" Lin Xueqin sighed, her tone even more helpless: "I'm not worried about the others, I'm just worried about that Zhou Fan... Otherwise, he'll really have to repeat the year. Taking time off before was one thing..."
Seeing Lin Xueqin craning her neck, Wang Ziming shook his head.
"Zhou Fan is also taking the exam at this school?" Wang Ziming clearly had an impression of Zhou Fan.
Actually, there were many senior students, and he didn't interact much with Lin Xueqin on a daily basis, but the reason for this student Zhou Fan's leave of absence had long since spread among the teachers.
"Don't worry, on such an important day, even if he doesn't take it seriously, his parents certainly will!"
"It's his parents that I'm worried about..." It would have been better not to mention it; once mentioned, Lin Xueqin's face became even more complicated.
He had been taking time off for the past two months, and before he had even finished high school, they let their child go out to start a business... They even cooperated with the student's leave requests. She was truly impressed by such parents.
While the two were talking, suddenly, three cars approached rapidly. With it being close to the closing time, the appearance of the three cars immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Several middle-aged men in suits got out of the cars and opened the back doors, and a young man stepped out from the back seat.
"Wow, this lineup, is this some young master coming to take the exam? It's too exaggerated..."
"The college entrance exam doesn't depend on how many people you have. If he doesn't do well, won't he be left with psychological trauma?"
"The pressure on the child is too great. It's just a college entrance exam; I really don't understand what they're thinking..."
"It's too exaggerated, it's like shooting a movie..."
With the arrival of Zhou Fan and the others, faint voices arose from the surroundings, clearly carrying a hint of arrogance and prejudice toward this kind of entrance.
On the contrary, Lin Xueqin felt a slight sense of relief as she saw the figures appear.
"Your class's Zhou Fan... this display is really..." Wang Ziming had seen Zhou Fan once in the office and recognized the young man getting out of the car at a glance.
According to Wu Chen in their class, once he achieves success and fame, he must arrange a motorcade to return home in glory.
"This family's way of doing things is indeed a bit unconventional..." Lin Xueqin sighed softly.
"Didn't you say before that Zhou Fan was starting a business?" At this moment, Wang Ziming's voice suddenly became a bit unusual.
"Yes... you say, what kind of business does a high school student start? Shouldn't he be studying hard at this time..." When Lin Xueqin mentioned this, she felt a bit of frustration in her heart. After all, she had taught many senior classes, but this was the first time she had encountered someone like Zhou Fan.
"If I were him, I would definitely quit my job to start a business too!"
As soon as Wang Ziming's words came out, Lin Xueqin's gaze froze, and she turned her head to look at Wang Ziming, confused.
"Do you know who that is? It's Lei Jun!!!" Wang Ziming noticed Lin Xueqin's reaction, and his tone gradually became excited.
"Lei Jun? Who is that???"
Lin Xueqin frowned slightly. Wang Ziming did not explain but took out his mobile phone to search online, and soon found a photo.
"Lei Jun... the former CEO of Xinshan Software, who rose from humble beginnings with a small team of twenty people, successfully went public two years ago. He is a model of a grassroots counterattack!!!"
"Don't you know? You know Jack Ma of Alibaba, right? Lei Jun might be a bit inferior to him now, but he is also a prominent figure in the internet industry..."
"Look, the photo of Lei Jun, there's absolutely no mistake, it's exactly the same..."
Wang Ziming said one sentence after another, and what he said left Lin Xueqin feeling a bit dazed. She didn't pay much attention to the business circle, but Jack Ma was from Hangzhou City after all, and besides, she had to do business with them every month.
Looking at the photo on the Apple smartphone screen, Lin Xueqin then looked at the middle-aged man in a suit surrounded by the young man, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"Starting a business..." Lin Xueqin's eyes gradually widened.
She wasn't stupid. She had originally thought her student was not attending to his proper duties... but the reality was an opportunity that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to imagine in their entire lives...
She felt her whole being starting to become chaotic.
At this moment, Zhou Fan had already walked over, and at the same time, the voices of Lei Jun and the others also came over.
"Zhou Fan, you must come out early. We are waiting for you here. It will be more convenient to drive you back to the company after the exam..."
"That's right, Engineer Zhou, as long as you're not nervous, it shouldn't be a problem to hand in the paper 30 minutes early, right? Rest at the company at noon?"
"You don't have any plans after the college entrance exam, right? You have to come back and stay for a while, otherwise, the project really can't be pushed forward..."
"..."
"Alright, you guys go back first! I'll go back after the exam. You guys doing this is quite embarrassing!!"
Zhou Fan waved his hand and stepped into the exam venue. Lei Jun had no intention of leaving and continued to wait quietly on the spot.
Over the past week, their progress had been as slow as it could possibly be, so rather than going back to rush for a day or half a day, it was better to wait to welcome Zhou Fan back to the company.
