I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

Chapter 33: She quickly sent over the pictures that she had taken. (1)

That afternoon, Gu Shao had Xu Fei brought Lin Xi from his apartment to NTN Technology Center.

When Lin Xi arrived, Gu Shao had just gotten out of a production discussion.

Lets go. Gu Shao took her downstairs when he saw Lin Xi.

Go? Go where?

Lin Xi was stupefied.

She, nonetheless, followed closely behind Gu Shao to the parking lot and into the car.

Gu Shao wasnt planning on selling her, was he?

Lin Xi grumbled to herself.

The car drove out of the NTN Technology Center and right into Affiliated Junior High School of A University (HSAU). Lin Xi finally realized that Gu Shao was taking her to school because of what he promised her in the morning.

Am I going to be attending this school from now on? asked Lin Xi looked from outside of the car window to Gu Shao. There were unconcealable excitement and anticipation in her eyes.

Not necessarily, said Gu Shao fairly. She did need to take a test before she was accepted into the school.

The two of them went over to the office building.

The teacher that they met up with was a woman in her thirties, with the surname Chen.

As the leadership had already made arrangement for this students testing today, the series of entrance examinations were already prepared.

Teacher Chen learned of the gist of Lin Xis situation and brought her over to the classroom that had been prepared.

Inside the classroom, the teacher explained everything to Lin Xi. As you were in your sophomore year in your previous school and didnt seem to have fallen behind too much, this is to test your knowledge on sophomore year materials.

The questions on here were from last months monthly examination. It should be of appropriate difficulties. Some of them are more difficult than others but there are not a lot of those. Most of them should have been covered in your previous school. These questions were perfect for their purposes right now and they would not need to come up with a new set of test questions.

Lin Xi nodded.

At this time, a very tall teenage boy walked inside of the testing classroom with both hands in his pockets, looking sleepy.

Teacher, why did you ask me to meet you here? The teenage boy asked Teacher Chen.

Seeing that he was there, Teacher Chen took a look at the time and frowned. Sheng Xiuyan, I asked you to come at 3 PM. What time is now?

3:10 PM? The teenage boy by the name of Sheng Xiuyan took a look at his cellphone and replied casually, Our literature teacher did not let us out on time.

Teacher Chen, Yeah right! The last class was art. The literature teacher asked for the allotted time but was then swapped out by the physics teacher. This brat probably slept through the entire class and had no idea which teacher was there.

Turn off your cellphone and hand it to me. Then go sit over there. The teacher pointed at a spot inside the classroom and said sternly.

Why?

Examination, said Teacher Chen. You missed the monthly examination. It so happened that we have a new student coming today so the two of you can take the examination at the same time.

Sheng Xiuyan happened to have a competition the same time as the monthly examination so he didnt take any of them.

Sheng Xiuyan frowned. Does it make any difference whether I take the examinations or not?

You let me worry about that. Teacher Chen gave Sheng Xiuyan a stare and said, The head of your class had said it already. The scoring of these examinations will count toward your final scores of the year. You pay attention. Hurry up and stop wasting our time. Go take your seat.

Sheng Xiuyan shrugged indifferently but walked inside of the classroom anyway.

He glanced over at Lin Xi and sat two spots away from her.

We will be testing you on 5 subjects English, Literature, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. The long questions that were crossed out can be skipped; no need to do the essay part for literature; and skip the listening comprehension for the English section and just do the first essay. The final scores will be pro-rated for the monthly ranking. Teacher Chen explained as she handed out the examinations to the two of them.

Teacher Chen took a look at the time again and said, You have 180 minutes in total with no break in between. Pace yourself.

Teacher Chen gave Sheng Xiuyan a warning look and then a much milder look when she turned toward Lin Xi.

Just do what you would normally do and skip the ones that you cant answer. Dont be nervous.

Lin Xi nodded and took the examinations from Teacher Chen.

As they would be taking all 5 subjects at the same time, Lin Xi wasnt particular about the order she did them in. She skimmed over all five of them and started from the mathematics one.

Lin Xi had heard of HSAU. They ranked No. 3 among public school and her previous school was ranked #1 among private ones.

They two schools had always viewed each other as competitors subtly and otherwise. The two schools competed in all areas including the quality of their teaching and their results in competitions. As such, the contents and progresses in both schools were comparable.

These examinations were not difficult for Lin Xi.

She was fast.

As she didnt need to write the essay for literature, Lin Xi completed all five examinations in less than two hours.

Sheng Xiuyan tossed down his pen almost at the same time as Lin Xi.

Without so much at looking over in her direction, Sheng Xiuyan turned in his papers, yawned and left.

Lin Xi looked away from him, turned her attention back onto her examinations, looked through them one more time before she turned them in.
