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

Chapter 70: Father Zheng and Mother Zheng’s Thank You Dinner
"Qingqing? I'm Principal Mo."

Shen Qingqing heard it, "Hello, Principal Mo, is there anything wrong?"

"Of course there is something, and it's a very good thing!" Principal Mo said excitedly, "Your results from the preliminary and semi-final rounds of the provincial competition are out. They're both very high scores. Although not perfect, they're solid. Next weekend, the teacher from Yanqi Primary School will take you and a student from their school to the finals."

"It just so happens that the school has already had its winter break, so you can just prepare at home with peace of mind!"

"Okay, Principal, I got it!"

There were no test papers leaked from the provincial finals in previous years. What was available were just some recalled questions from the students. However, the question sets for the provincial competitions changed every year, so even if there were recalled questions, they were not very useful.

The scope of the competition starts from the auditions and goes all the way to the provincial finals. They are all famous domestic and foreign classics. The only difference is the question-setting group. However, the people in the question-setting group are constantly changing, and they are all new teachers who will add up-to-date topics to combine with the classics to set questions.

Therefore, the teachers’ only advice to the participating children was to read more books and watch more news broadcasts.

Shen Qingqing spent a week eating, sleeping and watching TV. Then on the morning of February 2, she followed the team leader of Yanqi Primary School and Ye Ziqi to the provincial capital to participate in the final decisive battle.

At the end of the provincial finals, there are only 50 contestants left. Among these people, three first prizes, five second prizes, eight third prizes and ten excellent prizes will be selected.

On the way to the competition test site, Shen Qingqing unexpectedly saw Zheng Qiuheng's parents at the entrance of the test site. Zheng Qiuheng was standing in front of them and listening to what they were saying.

Shen Qingqing thought about it for a while and then understood.

The couple must be afraid that Zheng Qiuheng will get lost again.

Shen Qingqing looked for a while and then looked away. She completely wrapped herself in her windproof and warm down jacket and entered the examination center.

Unexpectedly, this time Shen Qingqing and Zheng Qiuheng were assigned to the same examination room.

The only difference is that this time they were one in front and one behind, not as close as last time.

The moment Shen Qingqing got the competition test paper, she frowned slightly. The difficulty of the content and the novelty of the question angles in the final were completely different from those in the previous two games.

Shen Qingqing calmed herself down and began to answer the questions.

Her expression was no longer as relaxed as in the previous two games. From the middle of the test, Shen Qingqing frowned frequently.

She even used a classical Chinese passage that was only available in junior high school as an introduction to the question. If she couldn't understand what the classical Chinese passage was about, it would be difficult to solve the question later because the key to the question was in the classical Chinese passage.

But this classical Chinese text is not that ancient and is relatively easy to understand.

Children in fifth and sixth grade of elementary school are already learning classical Chinese, such as "Bo Ya Breaks His Zither" and "Two Children Arguing About the Sun". They have no problem understanding simple texts.

Shen Qingqing shook her head in her heart. If she wasn't a fake first-grader, she really wouldn't be able to solve this problem.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the examination room became more and more tense. Shen Qingqing could even hear some people breathing heavily and complaining quietly.

But Shen Qingqing remained unmoved. There were only ten minutes left before the end of the competition, and Shen Qingqing only had one big question to finish.

Even in this situation, she still had the mood to draft the answer to this question. After confirming that the draft was correct, she quickly copied it onto the answer sheet.

"The competition time is up. Please put down your pens and stop answering!"

As the broadcast sounded, Shen Qingqing finally finished writing the last word.

The moment she finished writing, Shen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, she couldn't underestimate the test-taker just because she was a reborn person and had attended university. No matter what era, the test-taker had always eaten more salt than the test-takers!

After the invigilator collected all the answer sheets and told them they could leave, the contestants who had not finished answering the questions began to wail uncontrollably.

Those who knew each other complained to each other about how difficult the provincial competition was. Those who had participated last year found it even more painful.

While Shen Qingqing was putting away her stationery, she turned around and looked at the two groups of people behind her who were complaining.

When she heard something funny, she laughed along.

It was not until her hands were empty that she turned around and realized that she had finished cleaning.

Just as she was about to leave, Zheng Qiuheng stood in front of her.

Shen Qingqing was completely blocked by someone. She looked up in confusion. When she saw Zheng Qiuheng, she asked tentatively, "Hello?"

"Hello, sister. Thank you for saving me last time. My parents want to treat you to a meal. Is it convenient for you?" Zheng Qiuheng's voice had reached the stage of voice change, and it was a little hoarse and difficult to listen to.

Shen Qingqing blinked and waved her hand, saying, "No need. My uncle and aunt already thanked me last time at the police station. It was the staff and the police who saved you. And if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gotten such a big bump on your head."

Zheng Qiuheng seemed to have never been rejected before. Now, after being rejected so bluntly by Shen Qingqing, he stood there at a loss, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that he was still standing in front of her and had no intention of making way for her, Shen Qingqing pursed her lips, stuffed the chair under the table, and walked out from the other side of the aisle: "Goodbye, big brother!"

Zheng Qiuheng said "Hey", immediately turned around and followed her out.

Shen Qingqing glanced at him without saying anything, and then found the team leader and Ye Ziqi who were waiting outside.

The teacher in charge was very surprised: "Student, you..."

The teacher in charge looked at him for a while before finally remembering who he was. "Student, are you feeling better?"

Zheng Qiuheng nodded: "Yes, it's fine now. Thank you very much for what happened last time."

The teacher in charge smiled and said, "I'm glad you're okay. Be more careful and cautious when you go out on your own in the future. We'll be leaving now!"

Shen Qingqing turned around again and waved goodbye to him seriously.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Qiuheng followed them all the way out of the school gate.

With such an obvious mark, Zheng's father and mother quickly knew who had saved their son.

The couple came over quickly and reiterated their request to treat them to a meal.

When facing Zheng Qiuheng, Shen Qingqing could still refuse directly, but faced with the repeated invitations from Zheng's father and mother, Shen Qingqing's hands were almost broken from shaking, but she still failed to refuse successfully.

Finally, after consultation with the team leader, Shen Qingqing accepted the invitation to the meal.

Zheng's father and mother took them to a very famous local chain restaurant. After they were seated, they handed the menu to Shen Qingqing: "Girls, just order whatever you want. You're welcome!"
