Chapter 1058 - Countdown (2/2)

That was her only choice.

“The National Arts University called me again. They want to give the last direct admission slot to Ye Jian. Ye Jian will be partic.i.p.ating in the university entrance examination in the first half of the year. Do you want to have a chat with her and ask her to accept this slot?”

From the mid-term exam last year until now, the National Science University and the National Arts University kept contacting Provincial No.1 Middle School. Both of them wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h Ye Jian.

Large snowflakes started falling outside. Winter seemed to have come exceptionally early in 1998 as compared to 1997. The first snow was bigger than in 1997 too.

Princ.i.p.al Cao held his ceramic cup filled with hot water and hesitated for a moment before saying, “We can’t drag this anymore. We need a confirmation from Ye Jian. Let’s do it this afternoon. Call her to my office for a chat.”

The last year-end exam of grade twelve was about to start soon. Ye Jian needs to give the school a reply soon too.

Mrs. Tong wasn’t the only one who didn’t dare to look Ye Jian in the eye. Even Princ.i.p.al Cao felt the same way. Many times, when he exchanged glances with her unintentionally, he would be astounded by her occasional sharp gaze.

With Princ.i.p.al Cao helping her, Mrs. Tong felt slightly at ease as she left the princ.i.p.al’s office. She waited for the afternoon to come.

“My university preference?” Ye Jian was slightly shocked when she sat down in the princ.i.p.al’s office. “I will only hand in my preference next year, right? Why do I have to do it now?”

She didn’t understand why the school needed to know her university preference so early. She didn’t know that the National Science University and the National Arts University were s.n.a.t.c.hing for her.

Princ.i.p.al Cao smiled. “Both the National Science University and the National Arts University want to give you their direct admission slot. I came to help them ask about your opinion.”
