Chapter 55 – 57 Results Announced
Qin Hao left the mobile store and headed to the roast duck restaurant.

Days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was June 22nd.

This day was crucial for many students taking the national exam, as the scores could determine the fate of their lives.

Despite being confident in himself, Qin Hao now sat in front of the computer feeling nervous, with sweaty palms.

Mrs. Qin took a day off just to see her son’s exam results.

“It’s after nine o’clock, you can check now, quick,” Mrs. Qin hurriedly said from behind him.

Qin Hao had already opened the national exam results query website, and upon hearing his mother’s words, he clicked on the exam results query button.

A dialog box appeared, and he rapidly typed his ID number on the keyboard and then pressed the enter key to confirm.

“Querying, please wait…”

Qin Hao took a deep breath, holding the mouse with sweaty hands.

He wondered how many points he could score? Surely over six hundred fifty, right?

He had checked his exam paper over and over again, and in the last few checks, he could find no errors.

He believed scoring six hundred sixty or seventy points should be no problem.

Mrs. Qin also held her breath, waiting for the results to appear, her eyes fixed firmly on the screen.

A new webpage interface appeared seconds later.

Name: Qin Hao (Shuinan Province Jiangshan City Changle District Changle Second Middle School Grade 12 Class 2 student)

Score: 750 points

Chinese score: 150 points, Mathematics score: 150 points, Federation Language score: 150 points, Comprehensive score: 300

When they saw the scores displayed on the webpage, both Qin Hao and Mrs. Qin were stunned.

Not only them, but even the person who had uploaded the data to the website was shocked upon seeing this score for the first time.

A perfect score of 750 points, someone had scored a perfect score in the national exam?

After a while, Mrs. Qin swallowed hard and said, “Xiao Hao, are my eyes deceiving me, does it show your score as 750 points?”

She too was a college graduate, albeit from the old era, but she was quite familiar with the national exam.

Qin Hao was also incredulous, “Maybe there’s a system error on the website, let me refresh and try again.”

He refreshed several times, and the score remained 750 points, with no changes whatsoever.

Mrs. Qin asked, “Xiao Hao, do you think this score is accurate?”

Qin Hao replied, “Mom, I’m not sure, I was very diligent during the exam, and I initially estimated I would score around seven hundred.”

Mrs. Qin picked up her mobile phone and called the customer service hotline, but it showed the other party was on another call.

It took about ten minutes to get through.

“Hello, this is the national exam service hotline, how can we help you?” a pleasant female voice came from the phone.

Li Shujie spoke up, “Hello, I wanted to ask if there could be any mistakes in the scores listed on your website?”

The female customer service representative replied, “Ma’am, please be assured that the exam scores have been checked dozens of times before they are uploaded, and the chances of a mistake are nearly zero.”

Li Shujie asked, “The website shows my son’s score as 750 points, are you sure there is no mistake with the data?”

…

The customer service representative paused for about six or seven seconds, then asked, “Are you Qin Hao’s mother?”

Li Shujie was startled, how could she know my son’s name?

“Yes, Qin Hao is my son,” her voice raised a few decibels.

The customer service representative answered with a smile, “Hello, ma’am, Qin Hao’s score is indeed 750 points.

Congratulations to you and your son, our website has already released this year’s national top scorers list, you can take a look.”

Mrs. Qin stood still for over a minute.

Xiao Hao scored a perfect score in the national exam? He actually scored a perfect score, it’s real!

The customer service representative on the other end, predicting her reaction, politely remained silent and did not hang up the phone.

Had it been someone else, the customer service representative might have already hung up the phone.

“Mom.” Qin Hao couldn’t help but call out.

His mother looked a bit terrifying standing there motionless, not even blinking, like a statue.

One might think she had contracted some strange illness.

Only then did Li Shujie come back to herself and hurriedly said to the customer service, “Sorry, I was distracted just now.”

“No need to apologize, is there anything else you need information about?”

Li Shujie replied, “No, no, thank you, thank you.”

“Alright then, I wish you a pleasant life.”

After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Hao, her face breaking into a smile, then unprepared, she hugged his head.

“Son, you’ve done amazing, a perfect score on the national exam, you’re the top scholar in the nation.”

Li Shujie exerted a lot of strength without even realizing it, but Qin Hao said nothing.

Seeing his mother happy, he was sincerely happy too.

Before the national exam, he had promised to achieve a good result to make his parents happy and proud of him.

Now, he had succeeded, and thinking of this, a smile appeared on Qin Hao’s lips.

“Plop”

A tear drop fell on his cheek, Qin Hao looked up to see his mother’s eyes brimming with tears, cheeks streaked with two lines of tears.

“Mom, why are you crying?” Qin Hao felt uneasy seeing his mother’s reddened eyes.

Over the years, he had disappointed his parents too many times.

Li Shujie, breaking into a smile through her tears, wiped them away and said, “It’s tears of joy, mom. Check out that top scorers list.”

Following his mother’s instructions, Qin Hao returned to the homepage of the website, then opened the national exam top scorers list.

In the national exam top scorers list, Shuinan Province had only Qin Hao, ranked first with 750 points.

The second place was from Jiangbei Province, ranked second with 739 points.

…

After checking, Mrs. Qin’s phone rang; it was Mr. Qin, who had been anxious as he hadn’t received any calls.

Mrs. Qin’s face lit up as she answered the phone.

Mr. Qin’s voice came from the phone, “How did it go? Are the results out?”

“They are out,” Mrs. Qin spoke in a very calm tone, simply responding with three words.

Upon hearing her tone, Mr. Qin paused, “Did he not do well? Watch your mouth and don’t nag the kid, no matter what school he got into, it will be fine.”
