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

The provincial capital, the Department of Education.

Inside the spacious office, the ceiling fan spun slowly.

Director Zhou of the Provincial Department of Education sat behind his mahogany desk, holding a copy of yesterday's People's Daily in his hands.

There was a whole page of supplementary content.

At this time, Director Zhou would usually be holding his teacup and quickly glancing at the headlines.

But today, his gaze was fixed on the bolded and blacked-out page in the middle of the supplement, and he didn't look away for a full ten minutes.

The article's title consists of only four characters: "Breaking Out of the Cocoon".

After reading the last paragraph, Director Zhou slapped his thigh so hard that the enamel teacup on the table jumped.

"What a fine mental shackle!"

"What a bold statement, daring to challenge the heavens and earth!"

He laid the newspaper flat on the table and couldn't help but read it again.

Everyone knows the current economic climate.

After that old man drew a circle in the south in the spring, the whole country was engaged in ideological liberation and figuring out how to break the old planned economy system.

But many people still hesitate and dare not take the first step.

This article, however, is profound in its intent and bold in its analysis, dissecting the social ill of being "timid and afraid of being punished later" with remarkable insight!

The sharp spirit of breaking free from constraints and systemic shackles in the writing is something that an eighteen or nineteen-year-old high school student could never write!

This is practically a manifesto that rides the wave of the times!

Without a moment's hesitation, Director Zhou grabbed the red landline on the table and dialed the special line for the provincial college entrance examination marking team.

The phone was answered after ringing twice.

"This is Zhou Weidong! Have your marking team leader, Lin Pingzhi, answer the phone!"

A flurry of activity came from the other end, and soon after, Lin Pingzhi's voice came through.

"Director Zhou, you wanted to see me?"

"Old Lin, I saw that article in the People's Daily supplement."

"Your marking team has done a great job this time!"

Director Zhou got straight to the point, his tone revealing barely suppressed excitement.

Lin Pingzhi on the other end of the phone was also extremely excited.

"Director! I personally reviewed this paper!"

"When the entire Chinese language grading team saw this essay, they were in an uproar! This student's ideological awareness and writing skills were simply amazing! I think giving him full marks is too little!"

Director Zhou took his pen and tapped it twice on the paper.

"Who exactly is this examinee? What's their name? Which city and county are they from?"

To ensure fairness, even those grading the papers don't know who is who.

Therefore, even when it was published in the People's Daily, it was anonymous, which meant it was from Songyang County.

However, this is not considered top secret in front of the head of a provincial education department.

Lin Pingzhi naturally quickly flipped through the records at hand.

"Director, please wait a moment. The scores were just tallied last night, and we are currently doing the final verification. They will be filed and distributed to the various cities and counties soon."

"I can find that the author of this essay, whose examination number belongs to... Songyang County!"

"Songyang County?"

Director Zhou was taken aback.

He had assumed that such a sharp and insightful article must have come from a top student from a key high school in the provincial capital, never expecting it to come from a remote county that ranked at the bottom in terms of economic strength.

"Investigate immediately! Who is this person? How are his grades in other subjects? Is he unbalanced in any subject?"

The sound of rustling paper turning came through the receiver.

"Director, Director..."

"This candidate's name is... Liu Guangming!"

"Liu Guangming? Okay, I'll go check his total score!"

After hanging up the phone, Director Zhou dialed another person.

And then he got the answer he wanted.

"Liu Guangming, from Songyang County, is a liberal arts student at Songyang No. 2 High School."

"He only lost three points in Chinese, got a perfect score in math, lost one point in English, two points in history, and one point in politics?!"

"A total score of 703... a full forty points higher than the second-highest scorer in the province!"

"By the way, this second-place finisher in the province got an extra ten points due to policy, making their raw score a full fifty points higher!"

(This novel is purely fictional!)

Director Zhou's hand holding the receiver froze in mid-air.

Fifty points higher than the second-place score without any raw score?

this......

In that impoverished and desolate place of Songyang County, such a golden phoenix has actually flown out!

Of course, that's not all!

Every year when the college entrance examination scores are released, it's like each province is competing against the others.

It seems that the higher the score of the top student in a family, the higher the education level of the corresponding province.

Now I'm a test taker like this...

"Great! That's wonderful!"

Director Zhou paced back and forth in his office, visibly excited.

"The report cards will be distributed to each county in the next few days, and then announced collectively."

"I need to handle this matter carefully!"

With this in mind, Director Zhou dialed his office again and gave direct instructions.

"Xiao Jiang, immediately select a few capable personnel from the hall and assign a patrol officer to lead the team!"

"First, we'll go undercover to Songyang County to find out what kind of family Liu Guangming, the examinee from Songyang County this year, comes from and what kind of school he was educated in."

"Once the results are announced, our provincial department will give him a big red flower and go to Songyang County to establish him as a model citizen for the entire province!"

"This is not only an honor for Songyang County, but also the biggest highlight of our province's education sector this year!"

……

the other side.

Office of the Director of the Education Bureau, Songyang County.

Chen Jianguo was leaning back on the black leather sofa, his feet propped up on the edge of the coffee table, holding a freshly brewed goji berry tea in his hand.

The radio next to me was playing the Peking Opera "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

Chen Jianguo closed his eyes, his fingers tapping rhythmically on his thigh, looking incredibly relaxed.

The recent demotion of Zhao Youcai to guard the reservoir truly gave him a fright.

At the time, he was still pleading for Zhao Youcai in front of the old Party Secretary, fearing that Lin Weimin, the newly arrived deputy county head, would seize on the opportunity and turn the tables on him.

Fortunately, although that idiot Zhao Youcai was unlucky, he didn't get involved at all, Chen Jianguo.

"Old Zhao, you're destined to be a manual laborer."

Chen Jianguo blew on the steam rising from his teacup and gave a cold laugh.

"To deal with a street vendor like me, they actually made such a fuss and got themselves into trouble."

"That's what you call being brainless."

He took a sip of tea, and the smile on his lips deepened.

In two days, the college entrance examination results will be officially released.

His precious son Chen Defu's file had long been secretly switched with that poor slacker named Liu Guangming's file through his own manipulation.

Once the results are released, the file with "Liu Guangming's" score will be immediately filled into Chen Defu's household registration file.

Unknowingly.

As for the real Liu Guangming?

I heard that after that kid was released by the police, he was still causing trouble on the streets, running some kind of grocery store and doing some kind of self-employed business.

Ha ha.

No matter how much he jumps around, the day Chen Jianguo receives his university admission letter will be the day Liu Guangming is rotten in the mud and can never get back up.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open forcefully from the outside.

"Director Chen! Director! Great news! Incredible good news!"

Clerk Xiao Wang rushed in, sweating profusely, clutching a newspaper tightly in his hand. He was so excited that he forgot to close the door.

Chen Jianguo's smile vanished, and his brows furrowed.

He put down his teacup and adopted the airs of a leader.

"Xiao Wang, what's with the rush? This is the Education Bureau, not a market. Can't you knock before coming in?"

Xiao Wang shrank back after being scolded, but he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

He strode to the desk and spread the newspaper he was holding directly in front of Chen Jianguo.

"Director, your criticism is correct."

"But this matter really can't wait any longer!"

"Look at this! It's the supplement of the People's Daily!"

Chen Jianguo glanced at it impatiently.

"What supplement? Our bureau doesn't require reading reports..."

Before he could finish speaking, his gaze was fixed on the bold headline.

Emerging from the Cocoon.

The small print below reads: Candidate from Songyang County, Jiangnan Province.

Chen Jianguo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped up from the sofa and pounced on the table, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Songyang County? This was written by a student from our Songyang County?!"

He grabbed the newspaper and read it twice, his hands trembling.

"A perfect score essay? And it was even published in the People's Daily?!"

Xiao Wang nodded repeatedly, spitting as he spoke.

"Yes, Director! The county propaganda department just called to inquire, saying this is the first time since Songyang County was established that an article has been published in such a high-level newspaper!"

"I heard it's already caused quite a stir in the city!"

Chen Jianguo's mind was buzzing.

What a stroke of good luck! A truly unexpected stroke of good luck!

Chen Jianguo is actually still quite young.

He still wants to move up to the position of Director of the Education Bureau.

However, his "godfather" is retiring after all.

If you want to take action, you need to have some solid, tangible achievements to show for it.

He's really worried!

Now, a brilliant talent has fallen from the sky and been featured in a national newspaper!

What does this tell us?

This demonstrates that Chen Jianguo's leadership was effective, and he achieved unprecedented success in improving education in the county!

If this matter were reported to the county committee, to Lin Weimin and the old secretary, wouldn't he get a good reward?!

"Great! That's wonderful!"

Chen Jianguo slammed his hand on the table in excitement, causing a few drops of the goji berry tea next to him to spill.

"Xiao Wang!"

Two things!

He was beaming and immediately began issuing orders.

"First, use your connections within the bureau to contact the provincial admissions office and the marking team immediately to find out who this candidate is!"

"Although the results won't be officially released until the day after tomorrow, we need to prepare in advance!"

"Secondly, contact the county's drum and gong troupe and order a few more large red flowers!"

"As soon as the scores are released, I'll personally lead the team to their house to deliver the good news!"

Xiao Wang accepted the order and excitedly ran to the outer office to dial the internal telephone.

Chen Jianguo walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the streets of Songyang County outside, and couldn't help but hum a cheerful tune.

"Haha, my child is going to college, and I'm getting a promotion."

"It's all fate, it's all fate!"
