Chapter 178 College Entrance Examination Results, Shocked~
"Team leader Liu, are you almost done grading the test papers? When can the scores be compiled?" asked Wu Hongming, director of the Provincial Education Commission, who was in charge of coordinating the college entrance examination in Jiangxi Province.

"Director Wu, we will be done in about two hours. We have already arranged for people to count the scores, and we will re-organize people to review the test papers that are disputed. The results should be summarized tomorrow." Team leader Liu said, half a step behind Director Wu.

"Well, you guys in the examination team have worked hard, marking papers in this hot summer, and you are locked up in this small courtyard without the ability to go out for fresh air. Then have someone send us some more ice cream popsicles and mung bean soup. Tomorrow is the last day, so everyone should persevere and overcome the difficulties. If you have any other requests, you can tell me."

"Thank you Director Wu for your concern. It is an honor for us as teachers to be selected to mark the exam papers. It shows that the organization trusts us and believes in our level. We will stick to it and do a good job in marking the college entrance examination papers to select outstanding talents for the country."

"Very good, Team Leader Liu, while grading the papers, have you found any papers with particularly high scores?"

"Yes, Director Wu, this year there are several papers with full marks, and there are also a lot of papers with only one or two points deducted, about 2 to 30 papers in total." Director Liu replied happily.

"Oh, there are several papers that got full marks? Is it because the papers this year are too easy? If so, we should pay attention when marking the papers and be more strict."

"No, Director Wu, this year's test paper is generally more difficult than last year's. It's hard for us examiners to get full marks. But somehow, there are so many full marks or close to full marks in the papers sent in from one region, while there are very few in other regions, only one or two or no full marks at all."

"Since it's harder than last year, it must be very difficult to get a perfect score. Which region are you talking about that has so many perfect scores or near-perfect scores?"

"It's from Raozhou, but we don't know which county it's from because they were all delivered in a shuffle and we don't know where the corresponding number corresponds to."

"Let me have a look. Make sure there are no missed questions. That would be a big problem." Director Wu said with a worried look on his face.

"Okay, I'll go get those papers right away." When Team Leader Liu heard Director Wu's concern about missing questions, he did not dare to delay and hurriedly trotted to get the papers with particularly good scores.

Because they were all stored on corresponding shelves according to numbers, he had received feedback from the examiners that the papers were very well answered, so he went to check them on purpose, so he found them quickly. He took a quick look to confirm that they were the papers he had reviewed, then quickly took them out, stacked them together, and walked towards Director Wu.

"Director Wu, come and sit over here and read while you do this. There are quite a lot of test papers." Team Leader Liu invited Director Wu to an empty table by the window and put the test papers on it. He then took a palm-leaf fan from the wall next to him and fanned Director Wu while introducing the papers.

Director Wu, a senior cadre of the Education Commission, is obviously of a certain level. He has no difficulty in reading the papers, especially the liberal arts subjects, where he looks very carefully.

I looked at several of them in a row, because only one of them had full marks in liberal arts, in Chinese, and the other scores were deducted by 2 to 5 points. This score is already very high, because it is very difficult to get a high score in liberal arts.

After looking at several papers of liberal arts, Director Wu did not find any plagiarized papers, which can also be seen from the numbering. The candidates with particularly high scores were sitting in very scattered places and almost none of them were in the same examination room.

Then he picked up several science papers. There were 7 papers with full marks, 1 papers with only 2 or 10 points deducted, and 5 papers with around 30 points deducted. This was extremely exaggerated. Director Wu put the papers with the same numbers together, and then added up the scores with a pencil on a piece of white paper. He found that the highest score in science was 686, and the highest score in liberal arts was 623.

You should know that this year's college entrance examination total score for science is only 690, and the total score for liberal arts is only 630. There is no need to compare these two highest scores. He is almost the top scorer in both science and liberal arts, and very likely the top scorer in the country, because this year the examination papers are unified across the country and the same paper is used for the exam.

Director Wu then added the scores of several other papers and found that the science papers had scores of 670, 668, 665, 663, 660, 659, 630, 625, and 620, and the arts papers had scores of 615, 605, and 601. There were several more papers with scores close to 600, but Director Wu did not look at them in detail.

All of them have scores above 600, and there is a high probability that they can be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University. So, there are actually 14 people who have a chance. If these people had applied for Peking University and Tsinghua University before, there is a 99% probability that they can be admitted, as long as there is no problem with the political review.

"Team Leader Liu, look, the Raozhou area is so strong this year. The scores of these 14 people are likely to be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University. This accounts for almost half of the students in our province who were admitted to these two schools last year. I have to ask someone to check it out quickly to make sure no questions are missed. If not, it seems that Raozhou's education has launched a big satellite!" Director Wu handed the white paper filled with statistical scores to Team Leader Liu, and then hurriedly left the yard where the papers were marked.

"Hello, put me in the hands of the Raozhou District Education Committee. Ask the person who was in charge of the test papers at the time to answer the phone and say that the Provincial Education Committee wanted to check with him."

"Received. Please wait."

Listening to the "beep" sound on the phone, Director Wu was still thinking about the scores he had just calculated.

It has been 7 years since the resumption of the college entrance examination. I have been the director of the Provincial Education Commission for 2 years, and this year is the 3rd year. The test results of Jiangsu Province in the past few years were not very good. Compared with the national average, the top few in the province would be ranked after 30th. There were only one or two in the top 30. This also reflects that the education in Jiangsu Province has been very average in recent years.

However, he and the provincial leaders are also powerless. The experts and professors who were transferred from other provinces have returned to universities in big cities in recent years. Some old teachers have either retired due to age or been invited to places with better conditions, resulting in a sudden shortage of good teachers in the province. Although some normal school graduates have joined the teaching front in recent years, these new teachers still need to be tempered and cannot produce students who can score high in the exams for a while.

The same is true for Raozhou area. Although they were originally strong in education and had many Jinshi in history, they were also affected by the lack of teaching staff.

But this year is very different. If it is confirmed that the scores just counted were all achieved by the candidates themselves in the examination room, it would be extraordinary. This would immediately raise the educational scores of the entire province by one level.

"Hello, this is the person in charge of the security of this year's college entrance examination papers at the Raozhou Education Commission. My last name is Zhang, Zhang Yong. What can I do for you?"

"Zhang Yong, I'm Director Wu of the Provincial Education Commission. I'm here to ask you about the security of the test papers at that time. Did you keep an eye on the test papers from the time they were shipped from the province to the time they were handed over to the invigilators?"

"Director Wu, don't worry. I have been guarding this year's college entrance examination papers since they left the provincial confidentiality room. I have never left at night."

"Did anything unusual happen during that time?"

"No, everything was normal. There were many people guarding the papers together. Three others and I followed the papers and never left. We ate and went to the toilet in pairs. We slept in the room where the papers were stored. There were also people guarding outside and supervising each other. Everything was normal during this period." Zhang Yong reported the transportation process and storage arrangements of the college entrance examination papers to Director Wu in detail.

"That's good. Thank you, Zhang Yong. You don't need to tell anyone else about today's questions."

After Director Wu hung up the phone, his previous worries were swept away. He was afraid that the results just calculated were obtained by cheating. Now this suspicion has been basically ruled out. The next step is how to implement this result and how to report it to the leaders.

However, to be on the safe side, he endured and waited for one night. The next morning when he got to work, he went back to the Provincial Education Commission's office and stayed there for a while to deal with urgent matters. Then he ran to the college entrance examination marking room to wait for the results to come out.

Team leader Liu knew that Director Wu was waiting anxiously, so after the test papers were reviewed yesterday afternoon, he mobilized the examiners to work until midnight to compile all the scores.

The marking teachers are also happy to work at night because the temperature will be lower at night, and they can rest during the day after finishing the statistics. There are electric fans in the lounge, but electric fans cannot be used in the marking room because it is full of paper.

So when Director Wu arrived, only a few teachers were reviewing the statistical scores to avoid mistakes in the final scoring.

"Hello, Director Wu! The first version of the grades has been compiled, and several other teachers are conducting the final verification. You can take a look at this one first. Generally, there will be no major changes." Team Leader Liu saw Director Wu rushing in and quickly handed him the freshly-printed grade book in his hand.

This transcript only contains a candidate number corresponding to the scores. Other candidate information is not yet available. That part will have to wait until the final review of the scores is completed and then submitted to another group of people responsible for summarizing the information. This is to prevent cheating during the marking process.

However, you can still tell which region the candidate is from by looking at the first few digits of the candidate number on the transcript, which is also a requirement for facilitating information aggregation. Director Wu took over the part that had already been turned to Raozhou and found that the statistical results were the same as what he calculated yesterday, and there were 590 or 7 students with scores over 8, and more than 590 students with scores close to 10. From this, it can be seen that many students from Raozhou can be admitted to key universities this year. Then he looked at the results of the top ten students in other regions, such as the counties and districts directly under Hongdu, as well as Ganzhou, Ji'an, Fuzhou, etc., and found that they were similar to previous years, with high scores but not high, and could only rank in the middle and back in the country.

"It seems that the Raozhou area performed well in the exam this year. And looking at the numbers of these high scores, most of them seem to be from one county, but I don't know which county it is." Director Wu thought.

"I've finished reading it. Team Leader Liu, please submit the results to the other group as early as possible today. I'll tell them to fill in the other information as soon as possible. You will be released from control tonight and can prepare to go home."

"Okay Director Wu, I'll do it as soon as possible."

After listening to Team Leader Liu's assurance, Director Wu left.

He returned to the Education Commission office and first talked to the head of the Raozhou District Education Commission about education. During the conversation, he kept mentioning their educational methods, which confused the head of the Raozhou Education Commission. He thought that the education level of the cities and counties under me was just average, and only Wuyuan and Yushan were somewhat impressive, ranking in the top ten in the province. But I haven't heard Director Wu say so many good things about them before.

Not hearing any useful information from the Raozhou Education Commission, he decided to ask his staff to retrieve the results of last year's college entrance examination in Raozhou and this year's joint examination in Raozhou to see what the differences were.

In fact, in last year's college entrance examination, Wuyuan No. 2 Middle School's scores had improved a bit, especially in English, because of the broadcasting system and listening materials donated by Chen Xingdong on behalf of Wang Jiankun. Other subjects also received supplementary teaching materials from some large coastal cities. Unfortunately, the time was too short and the students' improved scores were not particularly obvious, so it has not attracted the special attention of the Provincial Education Commission.

The Education Commission did not pay special attention to the results of this year's college entrance examination, because the examination is only for screening. No one pays special attention to the scores, but only to the rankings, because university admissions are based on the rankings of candidates in each province.

"Director, the exam results in Raozhou are a little bit special. You see, among the top 100, half are from Wuyuan No. Middle School, while the other counties combined account for less than half."

"Oh? Wuyuan County? The hometown of Zhan Tianyou and Zhu Xi! It seems that those high scores on the college entrance examination transcript this year were obtained from the examination in Wuyuan. Their results were very impressive during the examination, which indirectly rules out any cheating. This makes me feel relieved. However, the Raozhou Education Commission is really something. The schools in their own jurisdiction teach the students so well, but they still don't know about it. It seems that there are some problems with their ability!" Director Wu saw and thought a lot through the examination results.

He picked up the phone book in the drawer and found the phone number of the principal of Wuyuan No. 11 Middle School. He looked at the time. It was a.m., so he should be in the office, so he picked up the phone and dialed.

"Hello, Principal Wang? Wu Feng from the Provincial Education Commission wants to find out about your teaching situation over the past two years."

"Hello, Director Wu. What do you want to hear? I don't know where to start at the moment." Principal Wang has actually been waiting for a call from the provincial government these days, because he knows that the college entrance examination marking is about to end and the results will be out. Once the results come out, the provincial leaders will definitely find some highlights and then come to him.

"Then tell me about your changes over the past two years. I looked at your exam results and found that you are generally ranked high, and the proportion of students who can take the college entrance examination is much higher than other places. Do you have a secret? If so, you must not keep it secret and promote it to the whole province."

"No, no, Director Wu, we are not hiding anything. It is all thanks to the hard work of our faculty and staff and the diligent study of our students. Of course, we also have the strong support of the county and some companies, who have invested money in buying equipment and teaching materials for us. This is why our grades have gradually improved over the years."

Director Wu frowned when he heard the first sentence, thinking that Principal Wang was doing Tai Chi on him. But when he heard the second part about the county and enterprises supporting their school and buying equipment and materials for their school, his brows instantly relaxed. He knew he had found the reason.

At this time, because the transcript information had not been finalized, he did not say anything specific. He just told Principal Wang that their candidates had performed well in the exam this year, and then asked Principal Wang to prepare for the study and inspection.

When Principal Wang heard what Director Wu of the Provincial Education Commission said, he knew what had happened. He knew that the results must have come out, and they were the same as the scores estimated by the students at that time. Thinking of this, Principal Wang also became excited.

On the one hand, it is because this year's results will be exceptionally good, so good that it is hard to believe. On the other hand, with this result, I should be able to improve my grades.

He picked up the phone on the table and called together the office staff who had been waiting at the school. He took out the previously prepared plan and asked each department to make preparations. The person in charge of logistics arranged to improve the school's hygiene and find someone to make slogans and banners. The administrative staff notified the senior grade group and several sophomore teachers to be prepared. Other teachers were also to be on standby at home and not to leave the county unless there was something special. They were to be on call at any time. Other departments were also assigned their own tasks.

The high school campus, which had originally been quiet, became lively ahead of time because of a phone call from Director Wu. High school teachers began to come in and out. Principal Wang saw that the teachers alone could not handle it, so he asked someone to call some high school students from nearby the county to help.

The next day after the marking of the papers, Principal Wang received the scores of all the candidates in the school. He immediately arranged for the teachers to call or send telegrams to the top 50 candidates, and then hurried to the county party committee and county government to report.

Secretary Wu and Deputy County Magistrate Yu both met with Principal Wang. Originally, they were not responsible for education work, but when Principal Wang asked them to tell them about their children's college entrance examination results, they gladly accepted his report.

After hearing Principal Wang's report, both of them were shocked and happy. On the one hand, it was because their sons and daughters had done very well in the exam and were admitted to Peking University. On the other hand, they were also shocked by the transcripts that Principal Wang showed them, because it showed that among the top 20 students in science in the province, 10 were from No. 7 Middle School, and the top 20 were from No. 4 Middle School. Among the top students in liberal arts, were from No. Middle School, and the top two were from No. Middle School. Among them, the daughter of Deputy County Magistrate Yu was ranked second in the province in liberal arts.

Not only that, among the top 100 in the province in science, 30 are from No. 100 Middle School, and among the top 21 in liberal arts, 10 are from No. Middle School, and the results are all at the top. This is incredible, and the results are times better than last year and the year before!

Although the two county leaders had seen many ups and downs, they were still shocked to see the college entrance examination results. Then they asked Principal Wang to explain the reasons for achieving such good results.

Principal Wang had discussed with Wang Jiankun how to make the report before. He attributed the main credit to the county party committee and government's strong support for the education of No. 2 Middle School. Other aspects included donations from charitable enterprises, the teachers' seriousness and responsibility, the students' hard work, etc. Finally, he briefly mentioned that Wang Jiankun, the national college entrance examination champion, had coached the group.

The two county leaders had listened to too many reports and knew how to distinguish what was true and what was flattery in the reports, so they quickly grasped the key points, which were donations from charitable companies and help from the genius Wang Jiankun. Moreover, it seemed that those companies that donated also did so because Wang Jiankun was studying at the No. 2 Middle School.

They had come into contact with Wang Jiankun a long time ago and knew that he was a genius who could understand many things at a glance, had a sense of the overall situation, strong hands-on ability and other advantages. Many factories in the county also had the shadow of Wang Jiankun. Although they had overestimated him before, they did not expect that they still underestimated him. Not only did he do well in the exams, but he also led so many people to get high scores. Their son and daughter also benefited from his help. Otherwise, according to their previous high school entrance scores, they would have at most gotten into an ordinary key school, instead of being able to secure admission to Peking University like now.

"Okay, Principal Wang, you've worked hard over the past few years. You've led the school to achieve such great results. The county party committee and county government will definitely reward you. When you go back, you can compile a report and report it. The county will study how to deal with it."

After Principal Wang left, the two of them hurried to inquire about the situation, because they also had to report the results to their superiors and could not wait for them to call to ask, because the results were so impressive. After today, the entire province and even the whole country would pay attention to their county.

Not to mention the chaos in the county, the same was true in the province. After all the information on the transcript was filled out, Director Wu began to report to the relevant leaders, and later reported the situation to the provincial leaders.

Finally, the province conducted a comprehensive verification of the results, and of course did not miss the opportunity to check the confidentiality of the test papers at that time.

In the next few days, the scores of various provinces were gradually summarized in BJ for filing and admission. The results of Jiangxi Province thus came into the eyes of senior leaders. Because they were so special, the education department responsible for this year's college entrance examination singled out Wuyuan County of Jiangxi Province to report to senior leaders.

As a result, the name Wang Jiankun caught the attention of senior leaders, and then some secret department personnel began to collect information and summarize the changes in him and Wuyuan over the years.

Fortunately, he was careful to keep secrets in his work, so all the things that were revealed on the surface are well documented, and some of the things that are difficult to explain are covered up by his uncle and overseas branches.

Since July, he has gained a comprehensive understanding of the human body and genes. In the future, he will have a clone to cover him when he is doing some secret things. In this way, he can go to BJ with peace of mind. If he wants to leave, it is also very convenient. However, traveling is still relatively troublesome. To go abroad, he has to take a train, a ship or a civil airliner, which is relatively slow in speed and timeliness.

Therefore, after receiving the call from Principal Wang, Wang Jiankun began to prepare for going to BJ while conducting research on stealth aircraft, hoping to complete the development of the stealth aircraft before going to BJ.
