Ye Jian really didn’t know Huaqiao University and Guangxi University were trying to leave their direct admission spot for her. She had the impression that this matter was resolved a long time ago; after all, it’s been more than a year since the admissions teachers from Huaqiao University and Guangxi University came to their school.
Who would’ve thought that matter wasn’t resolved, and even the school had yet to give them a reply?
After pondering about it for a moment, Ye Jian smiled: “Then I can only thank the teachers from both schools for valuing my potential. I, on the other hand, do not have any intention of applying for Huaqiao University or Guangxi University, nor did I ever think about getting admitted directly into them.”
Her words startled, Teacher Tong, and she hastily advised: “Ye Jian, the opportunity is placed in front of you, all you need to do is nod your head. Why did you not consider getting admitted directly? Huaqiao University and Guangxi University are the top prestigious schools in our country right now. They have plenty of talented people coming from their sciences, academics, and economics, just to name a few.”
“It’s also not far-fetched to say that every student who managed to get into Huaqiao University and Guangxi university pride themselves on doing so. That’s why the Teacher doesn’t understand why you’re giving up on an opportunity that others dream for. Do you have any unspeakable troubles? Or is it because you have other plans? Plans like going abroad?”
If Ye Jian had any plans to go abroad, Teacher Tong would definitely not stop her, but the point was, she had never seen Ye Jian making any arrangements for going abroad. Unlike Liu Lizhen and Yang Yi, both of them had plans of going abroad and had been making preparations since the second half of their Grade 11 days.
Since Ye Jian didn’t have any intention of going abroad, then what was the exact reason?
Principal Cao did not question her immediately, his gaze restrained itself, as he seemed to be thinking about something.
When he went to Fujun town’s middle school a couple of years ago, Old Chen had told him this, “This kid’s goal is quite different, but anything that will bring glory to our country, she’ll absolutely agree to it.” A goal that’s quite different? Then how exactly is Ye Jian’s goal different from others?
“Likely, you don’t have any intentions of going abroad,” Principal Cao spoke up from his silence, his voice was collected, exuding a more severe aura. “You’re giving up on Huaqiao University and Guangxi University’s direct admission slot, Ye Jian, have you considered it carefully?”
Giving up on an opportunity that others dream for so easily, he was really curious why Ye Jian would give it up. Huaqiao University and Guangxi University, normal families, would light firecrackers and make celebratory feasts whenever their sons or daughters get into them.
Among the whole province, there were only two direct admission slots by Huaqiao University and Guangxi University. One of them was given to a boy in Class Two, and the other one was waiting for Ye Jian to nod her head!
Ye Jian was always clear about her goal; she smiled as she replied without any hesitation: “From the moment I knew Huaqiao University and Guangxi University had a direct admission slot, I’ve already given up. To be more precise, I’ve never even considered either university.”
“Guangxi University is the most prestigious post-secondary institution in the whole of Asia, let alone our country, and up to this day, they have a century’s history of schooling, and they have brought up countless great men and masters of academics. Meanwhile, Huaqiao University is the only institution that was established as the highest institution by our country in recent years. The towering institution is tied to the nation’s prosperity, and these universities are confirmed to be universities that all the students in the country would dream to attend.”
“I’m very grateful for being valued so highly by the teachers of both schools, but it’s also true that my aspirations weren’t with them. Since I started 9th grade, my goal has always been to work hard to get into the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), and that goal has not changed during the past few years.”
“Principal Cao, Teacher Tong, I willingly give up on the direct admission slot. I would like to give this slot to my fellow students who truly needed it and also have the ability to attain their places in both Universities.”
Ye Jian’s speech made the office silent. Teacher Tong’s gaze had been measuring Ye Jain up and down for some time now.
She… just heard that Ye Jian wanted to apply for the National University of Defense Technology! As a famous century-old school, there were plenty of students who managed to get into military schools. Still, students who managed to get into the National University of Defense Technology were extremely rare. It’s difficult to even have one in several years!
