Rebirth: My college entrance exam score was stolen? I turned the tables and made a billion.

Songyang No.1 Middle School.

Senior Three Office.

Liu Guangming held the report card with a score of 703, chatted briefly with his homeroom teacher, Mr. Li, and then prepared to turn and leave.

If there's nothing else, he might stay a little longer.

But right now, his grades are intact, which means that Chen Jianguo's long-planned "substitution plan" has failed halfway.

Moreover, Chen Defu's hospitalization indicates that he was unaware of the situation.

Now that the original exposé plan has been disrupted, what's next...?

Liu Guangming wanted to find a quiet environment to review the current situation.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from below the stairs.

Then, the principal of the No. 1 Middle School rushed into the office with a radiant face, panting heavily.

He first found Teacher Li, and then immediately recognized Liu Guangming.

"This student must be Liu Guangming, right?"

"Don't go yet!"

The principal grabbed Liu Guangming's arm, panting heavily.

Old Li quickly stepped forward to help him up.

"Principal, please slow down, what happened?"

The principal waved his hand, excitedly patting Liu Guangming's shoulder repeatedly.

"Great news! Your college entrance exam essay got a perfect score! And it was even praised by the province!"

"The former county party secretary and Director Chen of the Education Bureau are coming to our school soon! The former secretary is personally leading a drum and gong team to deliver good news to you!"

Old Li paused for a moment, then instinctively began to report.

"Principal, Guangming not only got a perfect score on his essay, but his total score was..."

"Don't worry about the total score for now!"

The principal didn't even let Lao Li finish speaking, interrupting him impatiently.

"The old Party Secretary's convoy is almost at the school gate; I need to hurry and take some people to pick them up!"

"Old Li, get all the teachers and students to assemble on the playground immediately!"

After saying that, the principal turned and rushed downstairs, not even having time to hear Old Li announce the astonishing score of 703.

Liu Guangming watched the principal's hurried departure with some surprise.

Chen Jianguo came to congratulate him.

It seems that Chen Jianguo, that old bastard, might still be kept in the dark.

In this case...

Liu Guangming folded the report card neatly and put it in his pocket, deciding to stay and see how Chen Jianguo's big show would end.

On the other side, on the main road of Songyang County.

A long convoy of vehicles was heading towards Songyang No.1 Middle School.

At the very front was an open-top truck with a large red banner, and in the back stood more than twenty men in red silk shirts, banging drums and gongs with all their might.

Following behind was the old Party Secretary's black Santana.

The streets along the way were packed with onlookers, pointing and discussing the convoy and what was going on.

In the passenger seat of the Santana, Chen Jianguo leaned straight back, his legs swinging uncontrollably.

The sound of gongs and drums outside was deafening, but to Chen Jianguo...

He reached up and hastily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his mind filled with Wang Shouzhen's face.

How is Wang Shouzhen doing now?

Did you go back and write it down as you instructed?

Once inside, will he be able to stick to his story and refuse to budge?

Chen Jianguo became increasingly panicked, feeling like he couldn't breathe.

He also imagined a scene.

When they arrived at school, the old Party Secretary praised Liu Guangming in front of the entire school, and then took out the report card with the score of 312...

This is a grand celebration, full of fanfare! If they expose the mistake on the spot, the old Party Secretary...

"Building a nation."

In the back seat, the old Party Secretary suddenly spoke up.

Chen Jianguo suddenly shuddered, quickly turned his head, and forced an extremely stiff smile onto his face.

"Boss, what are your instructions?"

The old Party Secretary was beaming and in high spirits.

"You've done a very solid job with education in our county these past few years. You produced a perfect-score essay that received national recognition—a huge achievement that brings honor to our county committee!"

"Once you get to school, you'd better summarize your experience carefully. This matter not only needs to be reported in the county newspaper, but also in the city!"

As Chen Jianguo listened to these words, his scalp tingled, and his teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.

"You flatter me, senior leader... This is all thanks to your excellent guidance..."

All he could think about was jumping out of the car and escaping; he had no idea how to deal with the deadly situation that was about to unfold.

Ten minutes later, the car came to a smooth stop in front of Songyang No.1 Middle School.

The sound of gongs and drums stopped.

The old Party Secretary pushed open the car door, strode out of the car, and looked very spirited.

The principal and several others were already lined up at the school gate, waiting.

Upon seeing the old Party Secretary get out of the car, the principal immediately greeted him with a broad smile and firmly grasped the old Party Secretary's hands.

After offering a few compliments, the principal turned his head and stared at Chen Jianguo, who had just gotten out of the passenger seat.

The principal strode over in two quick steps, grabbed Chen Jianguo's right hand, which was covered in cold sweat, and shook it vigorously.

"Director Chen! Thank you so much!"

"Thanks to your strong support and wise leadership at the Education Bureau, our No. 1 High School has been able to achieve such great success this time!"

"You are a great contributor to the education sector in Songyang! You must say a few words on stage later!"

Chen Jianguo stood frozen in place.

Normally, upon hearing these words, he would praise the other person for being tactful and eloquent.

But now, listening to the principal's impassioned tone and seeing the other party's beaming face, the anger in his heart instantly surged up.

He was certain that the principal had already seen the report cards that were handed out today!

His score was probably among the lowest in the entire school, yet he received a perfect score essay that was praised nationwide.

How could the principal not know about something so absurd?

You old fox, are you pretending to be crazy and stupid here?

He deliberately flattered me in front of the old Party Secretary, just so he could see me make a fool of myself in public later!

Chen Jianguo was so angry that his facial muscles twitched, but he didn't dare to show it in front of the old Party Secretary. He could only force out a smile that looked worse than crying.

"Not at all, it's just part of my job, you're too kind."

Chen Jianguo forcefully pulled his hand back, his palms covered in sweat.

The principal, completely unaware of Chen Jianguo's unusual behavior, quickly stepped aside and led the way.

"Secretary, Director Chen, all the teachers and students at the school have assembled on the playground!"

On the playground of No. 1 Middle School.

The teachers and students stood in neat rows, a vast and orderly mass.

A large banner with red background and yellow characters was quickly unfurled above the stage: "Warmly celebrate our school's students winning a perfect score essay and the county leaders' visit and guidance."

Surrounded by a group of school leaders, the former Party Secretary strode onto the stage.

Then he took the megaphone that the principal handed him.

"Teachers and students of Songyang No.1 Middle School! Comrades!"

The old Party Secretary's voice was loud and clear, resonating throughout the playground via loudspeaker.

"I am very happy today!"

"Our Songyang County has produced a remarkable article! 'Breaking Free from the Cocoon'!"

"This is not only a perfect score essay, but also a great victory for Songyang County in the field of culture and education!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

The old Party Secretary became more and more excited as he spoke, and began to talk at length about the county Party committee and county government's attention to education, firmly linking this honor to his own political achievements.

The old Party Secretary spoke for a full ten minutes before finally stopping.

He turned around and glanced around the audience.

"Which one is Liu Guangming? Please come up to the stage to receive the commendation from the county committee!"

At this moment, Liu Guangming was naturally in the audience.

Upon hearing this, he did not hesitate and strode up the aisle to the podium.

The old Party Secretary looked at the young man in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

How can he remain so calm and confident in the face of this situation?

Not bad!

As Liu Guangming took the stage, the atmosphere below the stage reached an extremely high point.

After pinning a big red flower on him, the old Party Secretary, in order to push this performance show to its climax, decided to make a fuss about Liu Guangming's total college entrance examination score in front of all the county's media and teachers and students.

In his opinion, someone who can write a perfect essay that receives national praise must have a very high overall score!

Showing it off would better demonstrate the strength of Songyang's education system.

So, the old Party Secretary said to Liu Guangming.

"Liu Guangming!"

"Your essay is excellent! It has brought honor to our entire county!"

"Now, take this opportunity to tell everyone in front of you, what was your total score on the college entrance exam?"
