If she wasn’t mistaken, there’s been almost four years since they had a student who managed to get into the National University of Defense Technology. Furthermore, all of the students who managed to get into the National University of Defense Technology were boys; not a single girl managed to get in!
Ye Jian has plans to apply for NUDT, she had taught a few batches of graduates-to-be, but this was the first time she heard a girl say she wanted to apply for NUDT.
Teacher Tong’s gaze that looked at Ye Jian naturally didn’t contain doubt. Instead, she wanted to see if Ye Jian had indeed decided on her goal. Since she said she wanted to apply for NUDT… and based on her current results, that wouldn’t be a hard thing for her.
On the side, Principal Cao started asking with interest: “Ye Jian, is this your personal decision? Or is there someone who advised you to give up on both prestigious schools, and apply for NUDT.” Old Chen was a retired soldier, and he was also extremely protective of Ye Jian. He raised her like his own daughter, and if he had any advice, Ye Jian would definitely listen to him.
“In the past, I really hadn’t considered applying for NUDT; I didn’t even dare to dream about getting into high school. Afterward, it was all thanks to Uncle Chen’s advice that I stopped living muddled days. With Uncle Chen’s guidance, getting into NUDT has since been my goal.”
“My goal has never changed, and the only university I want to get into is this one.”
From the moment she had set her goal, the hard work of all these years was dedicated to that one goal. She even temporarily put aside her hatred towards Ye Zhifan and his family, all to raise her abilities through hard work.
There was still half a year away from her goal. After putting in so much effort, there was still a significant someone waiting for her to get into NUDT, waiting for her to put on her military uniform. No matter how enticing Huaqiao University and Guangxi University’s recruitment offer was, it was insufficient to waver her resolution.
“Good, good, very good! Ye Jian, it has been seven years since a girl from our school had managed to get into NUDT’s commanding stream. We will wait for your good news during next year’s Gaokao!” Principal Cao absolutely supported Ye Jian’s decision; he even believed it wouldn’t be any challenge for her to get into NUDT!
Ye Jian, who could usually get marks of 720-730, wouldn’t have much of a problem getting into NUDT, her marks wouldn’t pose her a problem, neither will her body and character!
Teacher Tong didn’t say much. She smiled as she clapped Ye Jian’s shoulder, her kindly smile carried encouragement as she said softly: “Do your best, strive towards the goal you’re working towards, and there will be one day when you will get what you want! Teacher is also very much looking forward to the day you walk into military school, the day when you put on that solemn and sacred uniform!”
“I will; I definitely will get what I want!” Ye Jian smiled. It was as sunshine had affixed itself to the tip of her brows. She was so confident, so free; her black pupils seemed to hold the vast outer space, bright yet resplendent.
A Ye Jian like this, a Ye Jian who was confident, both Teacher Tong and Principal Cao were waiting for the day when her wishes would come true!
Giving up on Huaqiao University and Guangxi University’s direct admission slot, Ye Jian once again caused another uproar in First Provincial High, and the given up slot was not passed to another student, in the end. Instead, it was churned away.
When Meng Wen heard the news, the usually prideful girl ran to Ye Jian’s desk with tears glittering in her eyes. She placed both hands on the sides of the desk, and she asked with heavy nasal breathing: “Ye Jian, is it because you promised me that you wouldn’t take a direct admission slot last year, that’s why you gave up on it?!”
After getting along for one year, even Meng Wen, who was always trying to compete academically with Ye Jian couldn’t deny this. Ye Jian was absolutely a girl whose ‘promises are worth gold,’ as long as she promised to do something, she’ll still manage it no matter how difficult the task was!
