I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

Chapter 23: Xu Fei came to deliver the good news. (2)

In the NTN apartment.

As Xu Fei had told her to not wander around, Lin Xi decided to stay in the apartment for the entire day so as to not cause him any trouble. And she spent the day staring at her email inbox.

Finally, Lin Xi saw the notification of a new email on the lower right-hand corner on the monitor.

It was from one of the training institutions that she had sent her curricular vitae to previously.

The content of the email was very simple. It started with some official thank you wordings followed by a link.

It was a link to a test.

Lin Xi quickly clicked on the link and was taking to the test page.

It was a test on mathematics. There was a total of 20 questions. 10 of them were multiple choices and 10 were fill in the blanks. She had 60 minutes to finish it.

Even though they were all multiple choices or fill in the blanks and only 20 questions but being able to complete all of them within the time limit was no easy feat. Each of the questions required a lot of calculations and, on top of that, one would not be able to find the answers online.

Lin Xi moved the mouse around and quickly skimmed over all of the questions. The organization probably based the questions on her curricular vitae. These were about the same difficulties as the ones that she had done in previous mathematic competitions in the past and she had done many similar ones as well.

The countdown started from the moment that she clicked on the link. Lin Xi waste no more time. She pulled out a notebook and started working on the first problem.

The first one wasnt difficult. It took Lin Xi less than 5 minutes to get to the answer.

Lin Xi only did half of the second one.

This was the difference between a competition and an examination: One did not need to always get to the final answer.

Take this problem as an example, from the calculation, the answer would be a negative number and not an integer. It was easy to narrow the answer down to B.

Moving onto the third problem

Lin Xi was fast, she completed 20 problems in less than 30 minutes.

She hit submit after looking over them one more time.

The prompt spun around twice and the result was displayed on the screen.

[100 points.]

Lin Xi wasnt too surprised at this result but she, nevertheless, let out a sigh of relief.

What she didnt know was that the test result was placed in front of the instructors at the facility along with others in the same batch.

We received 46 sets in this mathematics testing and all of them did quite well. 10 of them scored above 80; 3 of them above 90; and 1 of them even scored 100.

100? An instructor standing nearby was surprised. An evaluation test for ones ability for competition was quite different from a normal examination. It wasnt easy just to complete all the problems, let alone getting them all correct.

The teacher responsible for tallying up the scores smiled and said, Its the one that drew our attention yesterday.

Oh, her. Her awards were quite impressive in her curricular vitae. We even increased the difficulties of some of her problems. And she was still able to score 100?

This student is quite good. Which school is she from?

The teacher responsible for tallying took another look and said, She didnt fill that out.

Then lets reach out to her quickly. Isnt there a mathematics competition for junior high school students next month?

Okay, let me go send her an email.

***

As such, Lin Xi was just about to click out of her mailbox when she saw a new email.

It was from the same organization.

They sent her an application form this time.

Receiving this application form meant that she had passed their evaluation.

Lin Xi filled in her personal and contact information.

She provided them with her new cell number provided to her from Xu Fei.

She had registered new social media accounts yesterday using this new cellphone number.

This was a number that Song Kexin would not find out.

She had 0 friends on them right now, but the list would grow.

As Lin Xi was happily planning her future life, Xu Fei came and brought with him good news.

Pack up and come with me to the office structure, said Xu Fei with a smile.

Eh? Something happened? Lin Xi turned off the computer and put away the scratch papers that she was doing her calculations on.

Your father is back.

Lin Xi, ?
