Chapter 357 - Results That Couldn’t Be Found (2/2)
However, he remembered Ye Zhifan’s position now. The Provincial Bureau of Education reminded him that he couldn’t announce Ye Jian’s results to other people so he could only sigh. There was nothing else he could do.
When the results were released, Ye Zhifan, who had been taking extra notice of it, immediately called Old Hu.
The Provincial Bureau of Education purposely hid Ye Jian’s results so Old Hu didn’t know too. He was from the City Bureau of Education.
“I only have the results of the students who managed to get into senior high. Ye Jian’s name is not in the list.” Old Hu didn’t find Ye Jian’s information in his system. He was curious as to why Ye Zhifan was interested in the results of a student so he said, “Old Ye, why are you so concerned about the results of this student? If I remember correctly, you only have one daughter, right?”
He thought about something and teased him, “The student’s surname is also Ye… Is she your illegitimate daughter?”
“As expected of a scholar. You have a great imagination. She is a distant relative of mine. I’ve some grudges with her parents so I’m just curious about her results.” Ye Zhifan was elated when he knew that Ye Jian didn’t score well. He didn’t want Old Hu to probe further so he said, “Let’s have a meal tonight. You want to walk the same path as Secretary Wu right? a.s.sistant Zeng has asked for a meal with Secretary Wu today. If you’re free, you can join us.”
Old Hu liked this suggestion. He forgot about his gossiping heart and thanked Ye Zhifan. Then, he hung up.
Ye Zhifan called Ye Ying and Sun Dongqing after that.
“Wicked girl, I knew that she was useless. She’s not fated to study.” Sun Dongqing looked at her pretty daughter and felt proud. She couldn’t contain her arrogance as she said sarcastically, “Yingying, your sister failed her exam. You should call her and console her.”
Ye Ying raised her chin proudly and laughed shrillingly, “You’re right, I’ll call the village leader tonight and ask him to let Ye Jian take the call.”
