Chapter 1058: Countdown

Deputy Commissioner Yao was alright but he got affected slightly too. He was transferred from the provincial government to the municipal government. He no longer had as much power as he had in the past. It was hard for him to go back to his prime.

Ye Jian didn’t care about these matters. Her entire mind was on the inferno training. Besides the six hours of sleep she had every night, the rest of the time was packed.

After studying, she would continue training, one after another. She crawled in the mud, rolled in the waves, and ran and climbed continuously.

When the summer break started, she started running around everywhere. She moved around so much that Xia Jinyuan didn’t manage to find her twice. He didn’t even know where she went for training and had no news of her.

He wasn’t surprised by this result. As a Special Forces soldier, it was normal that they didn’t have much interaction time. If they want to stay together all the time and date… that was impossible!

They had the same aspiration, the same dream, and the same goal. Separation wouldn’t make them tired. They knew that they were both working hard continuously!

Soon, it was Winter in 1998. As a grade twelve student, Ye Jian sat in her classroom and was discussing a math question with An Jiaxin, Li Qian, Yang Yi, and the other girls. The five girls were improving too!

Also, all her five roommates had become the top students of their grade. In both big exams and small exams, their results were always within the top 15!

There were six people in the dormitory. One was always number one while the other five took five spots in the top 15. They were legends in the school!

At this moment, Mrs. Tong was giving Principal Cao a helpless smile as she said, “As a teacher, I don’t even dare to look Ye Jian in the eye. Her gaze is as sharp as a sword. I don’t dare to say anything in front of her.”

“Don’t interfere too much in her affairs. As long as her results are fine, everything is fine.” Principal Cao didn’t know what Ye Jian does but he knew that Old Chen once said her goal was military school.

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 participating 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 snatch 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.

Principal 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 Principal Cao felt the same way. Many times, when he exchanged glances with her unintentionally, he would be astounded by her occasional sharp gaze.

With Principal Cao helping her, Mrs. Tong felt slightly at ease as she left the principal’s office. She waited for the afternoon to come.

“My university preference?” Ye Jian was slightly shocked when she sat down in the principal’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 snatching for her.

Principal 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.”
