Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 60 Because She is a First Grader
After Shen Qingqing and the others found the location of Wangling Primary School, they sat down one by one.

Yanqi Primary School is right next to it. This time, only one person from their school made it to the city finals. Of the five people who came out of the auditions, only Shen Qingqing and the student from Yanqi Primary School made it here together.

The two little girls sat together, smiled at each other and then stopped talking.

At 2:30, all participating schools had arrived. The host of the competition committee quickly walked up to the podium in front and began to preside over the first process of the summary meeting.

But it was nothing more than a more influential person from the competition committee coming on stage to speak, explaining why this competition was held and how it was successfully held under their careful planning.

As Shen Qingqing listened, her eyes became blurry. Being distracted during meetings has become an incurable common problem.

The little girl sitting next to her also had her elbows on the table, her chin supported by her palms, and her eyelids began to twitch.

When Shen Qingqing came to her senses and saw this, she was amused. She found something to do and started counting how many times the girl's eyelids opened and closed.

Until the microphone suddenly exploded with a sharp bang, which scared the little girl so much that she almost hit her head on the table.

Fortunately, Shen Qingqing helped her in time.

Although she is called a little girl, according to her biological age, Shen Qingqing should call her sister, after all, she is already eleven years old.

Ye Ziqi smiled gratefully at Shen Qingqing and whispered to her, "Thank you, little sister!"

Shen Qingqing is so young that you can tell at a glance that she is not very old.

Shen Qingqing smiled with crescent eyes, shook her head, and said in a low voice: "You're welcome."

"I've been curious about you before, because our teacher told me that Wangling Primary School has a little genius who is even better than me. Her name is Shen Qingqing. You also get full marks in the matches where I get full marks, and you still get full marks in the matches where I don't get full marks. This is my second year participating in this kind of competition. I won the second prize in the provincial competition last year, and I want to strive for the first prize this year. What about you?" Ye Ziqi seemed to have opened a chatterbox and spoke to her quietly.

Shen Qingqing held her forehead helplessly, then shook her head and said to Ye Ziqi: "I'm not a little genius."

Then he paused and asked her quietly, "How much prize money did you win in the competition last year?"

Ye Ziqi pondered for a moment and revealed a look of disdain: "The prize money for the first round of the city competition is the same as this year, but last year's sponsor was too stingy. The first prize didn't even get much, and the second prize wasn't even as much as the first place prize in the city!"

Shen Qingqing showed an expression of sudden realization. It turned out that the prize money for the provincial competition was determined by the financial strength of the sponsor.

"The prize money for the first prize in this year's provincial competition is more than the prize money I won for passing all three rounds last year. So I must win the first prize in the provincial competition this year!" Ye Ziqi showed an expression of determination to win.

Shen Qingqing stood in awe, raised her fist towards Ye Ziqi, and cheered her on: "You can do it!"

"What about you? You are so talented, it must be easy for you to win the first prize!" Seeing that she had no fighting spirit, Ye Ziqi couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for this talented little sister.

——Even with such a lack of fighting spirit, you can still make it to the finals.

The elimination rate of the municipal finals is very high, almost the same as that of the provincial preliminary rounds. However, the provincial competitions are held in many cities across the province, with a large number of participants, and they are preliminary rounds. In order to ensure that no lucky spectators sneak in until the end of the competition, the preliminary round promotion rules of the provincial competitions are very lengthy.

The city-level competition does not have so many promotion rules, and it relies purely on the difficulty to kill so many eliminated contestants.

Shen Qingqing knew that the first-prize winner would be barred from competing for two years. Considering that she might skip a grade, she insisted on not missing out on any opportunity to win. She said, "I have no thoughts about winning first prize."

Ye Ziqi looked at her earnestly, raised his hand and patted her shoulder, "Sister Qingqing, don't underestimate yourself! It's already amazing that you made it to the city finals. Your previous results are so impressive, you can definitely compete for first prize!"

Shen Qingqing knew she had misunderstood when she heard it, but she didn't explain: "I will try my best!"

The two girls were chattering to each other below, and the speech process finally came to an end, and entered the most important agenda of the summary meeting - the announcement of the list of candidates who advanced to the provincial competition.

"Next, I'll announce the results of the Chaocheng City finals of the GD Province Elementary School Entrance Examination Chinese Language Knowledge Contest, as well as the top five who advanced to the provincial round!" "Contestants who didn't qualify will be listed on the screen according to their divisions. When the top five are announced, I'll announce them one by one. Students whose names I'm calling, please come up to the stage!"

With a slight "click" sound, a PPT list was projected from the back of the stage.

"The above is the list of students who scored below 80 points."

Shen Qingqing looked over and saw that everyone started with their elementary school name, followed by the name of the participating student, and finally their competition score.

After she heard the list announced, she heard a small voice of comfort coming from behind her.

Ten seconds later, a new one was replaced with a "click".

"The above is the list of students with scores below 90."

This time there were a few more comforting voices.

Ten seconds later, another one was replaced.

"The above is the list of students ranked sixth and below!"

Now, not only were there people being comforted, but several people within Shen Qingqing's sight also lay down, obviously crying.

From below 80 points to sixth place, Shen Qingqing did not see her own and Ye Ziqi's names.

"Sister Qingqing, you are indeed a little genius! You can enter the provincial competition for the first time in the first grade. You are so amazing!" Ye Ziqi was so excited that he could hardly hold back his voice.

Shen Qingqing clearly saw that several students around her who had originally lay down raised their heads and looked at her after hearing Ye Ziqi's words.

Shen Qingqing quickly turned her head and looked at Ye Ziqi: "Sister Ziqi, you are talking too loudly. We are still in a meeting!"

Ye Ziqi pouts and quickly covers her lips with her hands.

"Okay, next, I'll announce the top five students who will advance to the provincial competition!"

"Fifth place: Yao Kangle, a fifth-grade student from Fengqi Primary School, scored 94 points!"

About five or six body lengths away from Shen Qingqing, a boy stood up, walked around the table and went to the stage.

"Fourth place: Wu Zeyi, sixth grader from Qingfeng Primary School, scored 94.5 points!"

This is a girl.

"Third place goes to Ye Ziqi, a fifth-grade student from Yanqi Primary School, with a score of 96!"

Ye Ziqi stood up and Shen Qingqing quickly made room for her.

"Second place goes to Chen Hua, a fourth-grade student from Meishi Primary School, with a score of 97!"

"First place goes to Shen Qingqing, a first-grade student from Wangling Primary School, with a score of 99!"

The moment Shen Qingqing stood up, everyone's eyes were focused on her, with expressions of surprise, shock, disbelief, etc.

Because she is in the first grade.

　See you tomorrow night~
