I was reborn without dreams

What's going on in Chapter 25?
On the 22nd, Uncle Zhang took some time to clean his 1.8 manual Volkswagen Santana. Although the car wasn't his own, it was lent to Dongweigang Middle School by "Zhang An Education," so he had to take good care of it.

To be honest, quite a few people in the bureau saw the car and were quite envious, but Section Chief Zhang was very upright and refused to lend it out.

His image as tough as iron was reinforced, and when others gossiped about him behind his back, he went from being called a "soldier" to a "soldier who can't think straight."

Uncle Zhang didn't care. His position as section chief wasn't real; it was a fake one. His rank hadn't changed, and he was still half a rank lower than the other section chiefs.

However, I'm about to mention it, and the reason is quite simple: Dongweigang Middle School's middle school entrance examination results this year were so outstanding that even the dogs roaming on Renmin Road could understand that "Dongweigang Middle School has the highest admission score for national-level high schools in the city this year."

"Zhang An Education" registered a recruitment fair with the Labor Bureau and held its first citywide recruitment fair at the Shazhou City Gymnasium.

Flyers and other materials were all printed, along with posters, banners, TV commercials, scrolling ads, and local newspaper ads—everything that could be advertised was put on the table, and the ads ran for three consecutive days.

Every day, people hand out flyers in front of several middle schools in the city. Near the labor market, Zhang Da'an hired sixty people to hand out flyers.

In short, the provincial key school admission rate of "Zhang'an Education" this year is 100%, and this is definitely going to be emphasized even more, with every word clearly visible.

Of course, the 90% pass rate for national key high schools must be amplified even further, making a very strong impact.

Parents and teachers alike experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, realizing that things in this world are truly unpredictable.

The flyers and brochures were distributed together. The brochure introduced the "Top Scorer Tutoring Class" and the fees for this year, clearly stating that the price for repeating the middle school entrance exam is 38,000 yuan per person per year, and the price for repeating the college entrance exam is 58,000 yuan per person per year.

Many high school teachers were puzzled when they saw the business of offering college entrance exam retake services.

Dude, you've never even been to college, and you're here retaking the college entrance exam?
Are you kidding me?

In particular, they even boasted that the college entrance exam retake program was a "top scorer tutoring class." What does that mean? Do they mean they'll have top scorers in the middle school entrance exam help them retake the college entrance exam?
There are quite a few people who are jealous of this, including Ding Yaobang, the principal of Chengnan Middle School. He is half a rank higher than Uncle Zhang and originally had a brighter future this year, but the mishap has made him lose his appetite and sleep.

I had a few drinks the other day and, in a bit of a daze, complained about this to my brother-in-law, who is also the deputy mayor of a town in the city center. My brother-in-law is very loyal; he went straight to the city to "report on the matter," saying that the sale of the assets of Dongweigang Middle School should be approached with caution...

When Principal Ding first heard about the changes in the bureau, he didn't take it seriously. But when he heard that the sale of fixed assets of Dongweigang Middle School had been halted by the city, he went to inquire and was almost scared out of his wits.

The sky in the south of the city has collapsed.

Honestly, he despised Zhang Zhengdong, but he didn't despise the 1.35 million yuan that Zhang Zhengdong's nephew had pulled out!

How could he possibly turn down money?
Especially since this money was completely clean, without being stolen or robbed, the bureau was counting on this money to distribute New Year's gifts in the second half of the year.

No, the benefits for Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, and New Year's Day also refer to this.

Now, we can't eat zongzi, we can't eat mooncakes, and we might not even be able to eat rice cakes!
Who caused all of this?!

On June 22nd, Ding Yaobang rushed to the bureau to confess that he had nothing to do with the matter and that it was all his brother-in-law's doing.

Unfortunately, when I went to the bureau, I didn't run into any of the leaders; they had all gone to the countryside.

"Director Wang, why is there no one here today?"

After walking around the building, Ding Yaobang finally went to the reception room to inquire about information.

The middle-aged woman, who was sorting through letters, looked up and saw that it was Ding Yaobang. She smiled and said, "The results came out today, Principal Ding. The director and his team went to visit the top scorers in the college entrance examination."

"The top scorer in the college entrance exam? Oh, the scores came out today?"

"It'll be reported tomorrow. This year has been full of good news! The top scorer in the college entrance exam from Wudu City is also in our Shazhou. I just don't know if he's the provincial top scorer. I'm waiting for a call here." "Huh? In our Shazhou? Which high school? Oh, look at the question I asked, it must be..."

"Dongweigang Middle School".

"..."

Upon hearing this answer, Ding Yaobang's face seemed to collapse, and his eyes instantly lost their luster.

He didn't even know how he left; he was completely disoriented. When the driver asked him where he was going, he simply replied, "Anywhere."

So the driver simply drove back to Chengnan Middle School, heading south along Chang'an Road. Halfway there, Ding Yaobang suddenly slapped himself: "How could it be Dongweigang Middle School?! Huh?! How could this be?!"

Yes, that's impossible under normal circumstances.

There is only one answer: Zhang Zhengdong, that idiot, that moron, is really lucky. His nephew, who suddenly took the college entrance examination this year, actually became the top scorer in the Wudu City college entrance examination.

Meanwhile, in the brigade of Wuxing Village, gongs and drums resounded and firecrackers crackled. The gong and drum team was putting on a great show; it was the village's own gong and drum team. The "wind and percussionists," who were originally reluctant to come out, were playing their suonas so loudly that it shook the heavens.

It was truly unexpected that the city's top scorer in the college entrance examination would come from their own Wuxing Village.

Normally, few education bureau leaders would personally come to the countryside to offer congratulations, but today is a special case. Zhang Da'an is the nephew of Zhang Zhengdong, the head of the private education section of our bureau. For both official and private reasons, this kind of respect is necessary.

However, after receiving the call from the reception office, the leaders were all smiles. Coming together today was definitely the right decision!

The highest score in the country this year was achieved in Wuxing Village!

The only score exceeding 700 points.

He is the undisputed top scorer in the Jiangkou Province College Entrance Examination, and also the top scorer in the National College Entrance Examination in 4696!
The village was packed with people; everyone who heard about it came to see what was going on, and the minibuses completely blocked the already narrow village road.

Because of the traffic jam, Deputy Director Qiu Jianmin consulted with the Director and said he would donate 50,000 yuan to help the village repair roads.

The village chief was quick-witted and immediately suggested calling it "Zhuangyuan Road" (Road to Top Scholar).

Amidst laughter and joy, everyone has a bright future ahead.

As Zhang Da'an shook hands with the heads of the Education Bureau, several well-informed companies in Shazhou City immediately sent people over to deliver the bonuses.

These are all companies with good relations with the Education Bureau, and some are even directly affiliated with it. In short, the basic process is to provide financial incentives.

A little more or a little less, but you can't not pay. Five thousand or ten thousand is fine, the point is to show both your backside and your attitude.

The old man, Zhang Qihong, was so excited that he took out his military medals from decades ago, beaming from ear to ear. He then hurriedly went to offer incense and wine before the portraits of his cousin and nephew.

Everyone was quite happy after all the commotion. Even Qiu Jianmin, the "old company commander" who was still sulking yesterday, calmed down. After all, what shady dealings were there in the Dongweigang Middle School incident?

That's all baseless speculation. Our Comrade Zhang Zhengdong is a seasoned and outstanding comrade.

The bag is fine.
