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

Team Leader Jiang suggested visiting his home, and Liu Guangming readily agreed without hesitation.

"Alright, since Team Leader Jiang is in the mood, let's go to my older sister's house for a drink of water."

"When I was studying in the county town, that was my home. After the college entrance examination, I also happened to live there."

Beside them, Zhao Xiaojun and Liang Ge stood there like two logs.

Leaders of the Provincial Department of Education!

Liu Guangming patted Liang Ge on the shoulder: "Liang Ge, Xiao Jun, keep a close eye on the shop."

"If you're unsure about something, wait until I get back to discuss it."

Liang Ge suddenly snapped out of his daze and stammered in response:

"Hey! Brother Guangming... Brother Ming, go in peace!"

"I'm keeping an eye on the shop; nobody's going to cause trouble!"

Zhao Xiaojun stared at Liu Guangming's back, then looked at the People's Daily spread out on the table, and felt a wave of dizziness, as if he were dreaming.

Right after he finished the college entrance exam, Guangming told him that he might become the top scorer in the city.

I took it as a joke at the time.

Secretly, aren't they still worried that Brother Guangming's final college entrance exam score might be replaced?

But now it seems, did Brother Guangming really become the top scorer in the city exam?

That......

On the other side, Liu Guangming led Team Leader Jiang and Xiao Li out of the bustling supermarket.

After passing through two noisy streets, the three arrived at the small courtyard where Zhou Dehou's family lived.

In the courtyard, the eldest sister, Liu Cuihua, was sitting on a small stool, washing clothes in a large wooden basin.

A few days ago, Liu Guangming insisted on taking her to the supermarket to manage the accounts, and even said that he would make her the leader of this big store in the future.

Liu Cuihua initially had some ideas.

But after she went there, she realized that she was not cut out to be a cadre at all.

She was afraid of making mistakes even when it came to calculating the accounts.

After two days of endurance, she couldn't take it anymore and said she needed to rest for a day to recover, so Liu Guangming let her go.

Hearing footsteps, Liu Cuihua looked up and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.

Then, when she saw her younger brother walk in with two strange men, she was stunned.

Although these two people were dressed inconspicuously, their aura was so powerful that ordinary people could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary people.

"Big sister, we have a guest."

Liu Guangming stepped forward and said, "This is Team Leader Jiang from the province."

"Provincial...provincial leaders?!"

Liu Cuihua was startled when she heard this.

She quickly stood up, wiping her wet hands haphazardly on her apron.

Then, due to nervousness, she even started stammering.

"Good morning, sir! Please...please come inside and have a seat! I'll get you some water!"

Watching his older sister rush into the house in a fluster, Liu Guangming turned to Team Leader Jiang and smiled, "My home is simple, please don't mind."

Team Leader Jiang waved his hand: "It's alright, we're just having a casual chat."

Following Liu Guangming into the house, Team Leader Jiang and Xiao Li involuntarily slowed their pace.

Team Leader Jiang calmly surveyed his surroundings.

He had just witnessed the bustling sales scene at the supermarket; wads of banknotes were being thrown into the cash registers.

He originally thought that since Liu Guangming was able to build such a large store, his family's financial situation must be quite good.

As a result, the accommodation was not only not luxurious, but also worse than that of ordinary employees.

Team Leader Jiang turned his head and looked at Liu Guangming, who was wiping the long bench with a rag.

How could a young man from such a humble background write a perfect essay that shocked the provincial government in the exam, and also have business acumen that even the county magistrate admires?

The key point is that even after becoming wealthy, they still managed to be diligent, frugal, and simple!

Such character and such ability are truly rare.

This is a true example of a child from a poor family achieving greatness!

Thinking of this, Team Leader Jiang's impression of Liu Guangming soared, and his evaluation of him instantly rose significantly.

Liu Cuihua, carrying two glasses of plain water, placed them on the table with trembling hands.

"Boss, we don't even have tea at home, so please make do with plain water."

"You're too kind, big sister. Plain water is fine."

Team Leader Jiang picked up his cup, took a sip, and then sat down at the octagonal table.

Liu Cuihua dared not stay in the room, so she made an excuse to hide in the inner room, leaving the door ajar.

Team Leader Jiang put down his water glass and got straight to the point.

"Xiao Liu, the main reason I'm here today is to talk to you about that essay."

He took out the People's Daily from his bag and laid it flat on the table.

"After reading the article 'Breaking Out of the Cocoon,' Director Zhou was full of praise."

Team Leader Jiang stared at Liu Guangming.

"I'm really curious, how could a high school student from a small county town like you write such an article?"

Liu Guangming sat down on the long bench, placing his hands folded on the table.

He didn't rush to answer, but instead glanced around the room.

"Team Leader Jiang, as you just saw, my family's conditions are so poor that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say we're penniless."

Liu Guangming spoke calmly.

My parents passed away early, and my older sisters raised me.

"I won't go into details about what my older sisters did for me."

"After finishing the college entrance examination, in order to save enough money for my tuition, I sold watermelon juice. My stall was vandalized by thugs, I was fined by the industry and commerce authorities for a trivial matter, and I almost got arrested."

"Of course, although this happened after the college entrance examination, these things are just a microcosm of my life as an ordinary student."

Liu Guangming continued:

"In recent years, the country has been advocating reform and opening up."

"But when it comes down to the grassroots level, to ordinary people like us, the resistance is too great."

"Many people's minds are still stuck in the rigid rules and regulations of the past."

"They think that doing business is speculation and profiteering, and that a secure job is the only way out."

"This kind of thinking is like a thick cocoon, wrapping everyone up tightly inside."

Liu Guangming spoke slowly, but every word he uttered was powerful.

"To put it another way, by writing this article, I am also saying that a great era has arrived."

"If ordinary people don't take the initiative to break free from this mental cage and tear open this cocoon themselves, they will only suffocate inside."

"Like me, if I want to survive and thrive, I must have the courage to break through everything."

At this point, Liu Guangming pointed to the direction of the crossroads outside.

"You've seen the self-service supermarket I own."

"Even the people in the Commerce Bureau were afraid to take responsibility back then, but I wasn't."

"Because I know that when it comes to adapting to the times, someone has to be the first to do it."

"Not only do it, but do it beautifully, so that everyone can see that this path is viable."

"Excellent! What a wonderful example of adapting to the times!"

Team Leader Jiang slammed his hand on the table, making the water glasses on it shake.

His cheeks flushed with excitement as he looked at Liu Guangming as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

"Director Zhou made the right choice! This article is powerful in its language, and it's also supported by real-world experience!"

Team Leader Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and calmed himself down.

He picked up his water glass, took a sip, and then changed the subject:

"Xiao Liu, this year's college entrance exam questions are notoriously difficult."

"Now that you got a perfect score on your essay, how do you feel about your overall performance?"

Liu Guangming smiled and leaned back in his chair.

He knew exactly what was going on in his mind.

However, since I'm asking myself, I should be humble.

"I can't say exactly how many points I need. But based on my original plan, getting into a top university shouldn't be a problem."

If it were any other student, Team Leader Jiang might have thought it was arrogant.

After all, although it is said that you should go to a key university, in reality, only a handful of people from small towns can get into a key university!

But when it came to Liu Guangming, he felt it was only natural.

"Hahaha!"

Team Leader Jiang suddenly burst into laughter.

He gave Liu Guangming a thumbs-up: "It's more than just no problem!"

"Anyway, the results will be released the day after tomorrow. And since you seem mature and composed, I'm not afraid to break the rules today and will just tell you the whole story!"

Team Leader Jiang leaned forward, his voice low but filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"You got 703 points!"

"A full 50 points ahead of the second-place team in the province!"

"Comrade Liu Guangming, you are undoubtedly the top liberal arts student in the province this year!"
