Chapter 1059: Untitled
Ye Jian contemplated for a moment before giving a gentle smile. “I can only thank the teachers of the universities for having high hopes of me. I don’t plan to enter the National Science University or the National Arts University. I have never thought of getting directly admitted either.”
Mrs. Tong was slightly shocked by her words. She hurriedly persuaded her, “Ye Jian, the opportunity is right in front of you. You just need to nod. Why haven’t you thought of getting directly admitted? The National Science University and the National Arts University are the most famous top universities in our country. They produce many talents in various fields like sciences, arts, and economics.”
“It can be said that every student feels that it’s an honor to be able to enter the National Science University or the National Arts University. I don’t really understand why you want to give up this chance that every student dreamt of. Is there anything you can’t say? Or do you have other thoughts? Are you planning to go overseas to study?”
If Ye Jian planned to go overseas, Mrs. Tong wouldn’t stop her. But, she had never seen Ye Jian making any plans to go overseas. Other people like Liu Lizhen and Yang Yi started making preparations in the second half of grade eleven because they wanted to go overseas.
Since Ye Jian didn’t want to go overseas, what reason could it be?
Principal Cao didn’t question her immediately. He shifted his gaze and seemed to be pondering about something.
That year, when he went to the Fujun Town Middle School, Old Chen told him, “This child’s goal is a little different. However, she’s willing to do things to bring glory to the nation.” A little different? How different was Ye Jian’s goal?
“I guess you don’t plan to go overseas.” The silent Principal Cao finally opened his mouth. His tone was slightly serious and he had a stern expression on his face. “Giving up the direct admission slot for the National Science University and the National Arts University. Ye Jian, have you really considered it carefully?”
Ye Jian was able to give up the chance every other student dreamt of. He really wanted to know why she gave it up. If other students entered these two universities, their parents would light fireworks and set up banquets to celebrate the occasion.
There were only two direct admission slots in the entire province for the National Science University and the National Arts University. One of the slots was given to a young man from Class Two. The other slot was waiting for Ye Jian to nod her head.
Ye Jian was always clear about her goal. She smiled and replied without any hesitation, “When I knew that the National Science University and National Arts University had direct admission slots, I have already decided to give up on them. You can say that I have never thought of entering these two universities.”
“The National Arts University is the most famous university in our country as well as the whole of Asia. Until now, it has hundreds of years of history and produced many famous people and professors in their field. As for the National Science University, it is the only university that was established as the institution with the highest status in the country. This powerful university is tightly linked to the progress of our nation. This is the dream university of many students in our country.”
“I would really like to thank the teachers of the two universities for thinking highly of me. However, they aren’t my preference. Ever since I was in grade eight, I have aimed to enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I have been working hard towards the goal and it has never changed.”
“Principal Cao, Mrs. Tong, I’m willing to give up the direct admission slot voluntarily. Give this slot to someone who really needs it and who has the ability to enter these two universities.”
Ye Jian’s words caused the office to turn quiet. Mrs. Tong was sizing up Ye Jian.
She... she heard Ye Jian saying that she wanted to enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences! Many students entered military schools from the Provincial No.1 Middle School every year but very few people entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences. There might not even be a student for a few years!
