Tang Xiu took the bag and looked at all the Silver Dragon Grasses inside. After observing for a few seconds, he nodded, “28 strains of Silver Dragon Grass, totaling 28 thousand yuan. Big Brother Ben, please give me your bank account number, I’ll transfer the money to you now. As for how Quan’s share, it’s up to you.”
Su Ben and Su Quan were a bit excited.
A few minutes later, 28 thousand yuan had been transferred to Su Ben’s account.
“That’s right, you found seven strains last night, so I’ll give you another seven thousand.” As honest as he was, Su Ben immediately transferred the money to Su Quan.
Tang Xiu put the Silver Dragon Grass into his car and then looked at Su Quan, saying, “Quan, I’ve talked to Big Brother Ben. He’s preparing to follow me to Star City. What about you? Do you want to go with me to Star City too?”
Without hesitation, Su Quan replied, “Big Brother Ben also talked to me about that. I’ll go.”
Tang Xiu laughed, “That’s great! When the time comes, I’ll arrange to put the both of you together. Big Brother Ben is an honest person and good for safety works. You have got a pretty good head on you, so I’ll arrange another position for you in the future.”
“Well, I feel good following you,” said Su Quan smiled.
“Ring, ring, ring…”
Just as Tang Xiu was about to reply, his mobile suddenly rang. As he took out his cell phone and looked at the number on the screen, he saw that it was Han Qingwu calling.
“Hello, Teacher Han!” said Tang Xiu with a smile.
“Tang Xiu, quickly check your score. Oh my god! The total score of the CET test is 750 points. You, you… you unexpectedly got a score of 746 points! It’s amazing and unbelievable! You only missed 4 points for the perfect score!” Han Qingwu’s shivering voice came out from the phone.
Tang Xiu was surprised for a moment. He suddenly recalled that today was the release of the CET scores. As he heard the news from Han Qingwu, he knew that she had his CET admission card number and checked the result for him. He then laughed and said, “Teacher, haven’t I told you that I’d make you proud of this year’s College Entrance Test? Anyways, what about Yuan Chuling and Chen Yannan’s test scores?”
Han Qingwu quickly replied, “I haven’t checked theirs yet. But now I’m confident about their results as well. Tang Xiu, congrats!”
Tang Xiu laughed, “I also want to say thanks for you sparing no effort to take care of me from the beginning!”
Han Qingwu laughed and replied, “It’s good that you know. But anyways, where are you now? I want to treat you to a meal to celebrate your good test result.”
“I’m in my hometown. There was an accident here. Alright, I’ll call you when I’m back in Star City,” said Tang Xiu.
“Alright!” said Han Qingwu.
Han Qingwu hung up the phone. Tang Xiu then searched his admission card number to check on his test result. He was quite satisfied. Aside from Literature and Language which he had 4 points off from the perfect result, all other subjects were perfect.
“Ring, ring, ring…”
Just as he was checking his results, his mobile rang again. This time it was Ouyang Lulu calling.
“What’s up, Lulu?”
Feeling good, Tang Xiu asked with a laugh.
Ouyang Lulu quickly asked, “Tang Xiu, the CET results have come out. How many points did you get?”
“746,” answered Tang Xiu.
“What’s the total score? And how are your results?” Puzzled, Ouyang Lulu asked again.
“Apart from Literature and Language missing four points from the total score, which should become from the essay writing section, I got a perfect score on all other subjects.”
“WHAT? You meant that you only missed 4 points to get a perfect score in the CET?” Ouyang Lulu’s scream came out of the phone.
Tang Xiu laughed, “That’s right!”
Ouyang Lulu was shocked, “T-Tang Xiu, y-you… you aren’t lying to me, right? Oh, Heaven! This is so amazing. Hey, I remember you seem to like science, right? To get such a high score is truly unexpected. Perhaps the CET top scorer for the science subjects in Shuangqing Province is none other but you.”
“It doesn’t matter. As long as I can pass and enter Shanghai University, it’s fine,” said Tang Xiu laughed.
Ouyang Lulu exclaimed in admiration, “Tang Xiu, I always knew that you were good! But never did I expect that you would be this amazing. Anyways, when will you come to Jingmen Island? I’ll take you to dinner to celebrate.”
Tang Xiu hesitated as he wryly smiled, “When I’m done with the matters here, I’ll go there to find you.”
“Great!” Ouyang Lulu laughed happily.
Standing at his side, Su Ben and Su Quan were shocked and dumbfounded ever since Tang Xiu checked the CET scores. As Tang Xiu and Ouyang Lulu finished talking on the phone, the both of them still hadn’t recovered from the shock. They were students before, so they naturally understood the meaning of getting 746 points in the CET.
“Tang—“
Just as Su Quan was about to speak, Tang Xiu’s mobile rang again.
Tang Xiu looked at the phone’s screen. A wry smile appeared on his face. He looked at Su Quan, shook his head and answered the phone, saying, “Zhengyu, something’s up?”
