Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Qiao Manman ran into the yard with her textbook in her hand, her face full of bright smiles and she gave a thumbs up.

"Yang Bai, you are really amazing. You can even predict the college entrance examination."

When she learned about the winter college entrance examination, she ran all the way from the educated youth compound.

Just as Yang Bai predicted, the English exam was an optional one.

It's not a required subject, and spending that time memorizing English would be a waste of a lot of time.

Fortunately, Yang Bai's proposed learning direction was correct.

After studying for this period of time, she is now fully confident that she will be admitted to university.

I'll go back and show that old man how his daughter, whom he considers an incompetent good-for-nothing, managed to get into a university.

When I become the first college student in the village, I'll be able to hold my head high when I go back.

Yang Bai rolled up his sleeves and said, "You've come at the right time. Now that you know about the college entrance exam, I should keep my promise and set the exam questions. Have you decided which subject you want to take?"

Qiao Manman already has a target university in mind, and she has also written to her father, who has given her permission to apply for this subject.

"I want to go to Shandong Marine College, and I want to apply for marine biology. So I need to study science. Yang Bai, bring it on!"

Yang Bai looked at the two women, "And you?"

Zhang Ning replied, "Beijing Medical College. Science."

Su Wanqiu touched her clothes and smiled slightly.

"Dyeing and Weaving Art, Beijing Academy of Fine Arts. Liberal Arts."

Qiao Manman looked at Su Wanqiu with some surprise.

"Is Sister Wanqiu going to university too?"

Su Wanqiu nodded slightly.

"Well, I'd like to explore more theoretical aspects. I haven't been to university yet, so..."

Qiao Manman smiled and said, "I understand."

Yang Bai nodded slightly.

"Two sets of science subjects, one set of humanities subjects."

"I'll set up the exam paper right away."

He turned around, took out a pen and a piece of white paper, and began to write questions on them.

None of the three women doubted the quality of Yang Bai's exam questions.

By evening, all three sets of test papers were completed.

Yang Bai handed three sets of sample curls to the three women and said.

"Today we'll have Chinese and Politics exams first, tomorrow we'll have Math, Physics and Chemistry, and History and Geography."

One exam was in the living room, one in the guest bedroom, and one in the master bedroom; all exams were to be taken separately, and all textbooks had to be handed in.

This is Yang Bai's last exam paper, and how well they do on this exam will likely be very similar to how they do on the college entrance exam.

Although he couldn't remember the specific content of the college entrance exam, he did remember the type of exam.

The questions he sets this time are most likely the type that will appear on the college entrance exam.

None of the three women were careless; they immediately handed all the books over to Yang Bai for safekeeping.

They each received their exam papers and went inside to bury themselves in writing.

Yang Bai paced back and forth between the three rooms, checking for any cheating.

He went to the second bedroom where Qiao Manman was and found that she was unusually serious this time, not even turning her head, focused on the exam.

Walking into the living room, Yang Bai looked at what Zhang Ning had written and nodded slightly. He glanced at it briefly and found that the answers were basically correct.

He had just turned around when he caught a glimpse of Yang Jun delivering canned goods outside the door.

He approached Yang Jun and whispered, "Keep your voice down, there's an exam going on inside."

"An exam?" Yang Jun scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. "What kind of exam?"

"With the college entrance exam approaching, these are mock exam practice sessions."

Yang Bai took the can of food.

"The college entrance exam is approaching?" Yang Jun's voice rose in shock, but Zhang Ning quickly suppressed it again as she noticed the exam taking place inside. "The college entrance exam has been reinstated!"

I didn't get a break today; I just got back from fishing at sea and didn't even know that the news about the college entrance exam was announced on the radio this morning.

Yang Bai nodded. "Yes, in winter. The exact time hasn't been announced yet."

Yang Jun asked in a low voice, "Brother Yang, I also want to go to university."

Yang Bai patted his shoulder and said, "It's good to have this ambition, but you need to learn all the characters first. From now on, you have to carry a book with you and read every time you go out to sea. Don't look at those messy little comic books, understand?"

If Yang Jun can get into university and improve his academic qualifications, his horizons and cognition will be broadened, and his entire life trajectory will be completely rewritten.

In the future, it will be an era where people will rely on knowledge to make a living. Yang Jun has neither ability nor brains, and even with Yang Bai's help and support, he will not go far.

Yang Jun immediately became serious.

"Okay, Brother Yang, I understand. I'll go back and study the book. Can I ask you for help if I have any problems on the ship later?"

Yang Bai smiled and said, "I will give you pointers whenever I have time."

Yang Jun smiled and handed the can of food in his hand to Yang Bai.

"Okay, Brother Yang, I'll send you another month's worth of canned food."

Yang Bai watched his retreating figure as he jogged back, feeling both amused and exasperated.

In his previous life, he died at sea. In this life, Yang Bai really wants to see how far Yang Jun can go.

Three hours later, Zhang Ning was the first to hand in her paper.

Yang Bai picked up his pen and graded the two test papers: 95 in Chinese and 93 in Politics.

"Not bad, Ningning. If you get this score again tomorrow, you'll have more than enough to get into the Beijing Medical College."

Zhang Ning was somewhat puzzled.

"This test seems easier than the previous ones. Why would they give a test like this?"

She thought this test would be more difficult, and felt that Yang Bai had specially prepared it to boost her confidence.

Yang Bai knew what she was thinking.

"The tests I set before were to get you used to difficult questions. This test is actually at the level of the college entrance examination."

Zhang Ning continued to ask.

"But what if the college entrance exam isn't this difficult?"

Yang Bai explained.

"We haven't taken the college entrance exam for eleven years. For the first time, the exam will definitely not be too difficult. If it's too difficult and a large number of people fail, then this first exam in eleven years will be meaningless."

"The test may seem simple, but that's only for those of you who are prepared. This test can still stump a large number of ordinary people."

Indeed, in the past, the college entrance examination was mainly based on the junior high school level.

However, out of 570 million applicants, only 27.3 were admitted, resulting in an admission rate of 4.8%, with the undergraduate admission rate even lower at only 2%.

This is the lowest admission rate in the history of the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE).

The exam papers he sets will only be more difficult, even the one he has in hand.

After listening to Yang Bai's analysis, Zhang Ning nodded slightly.

"really."

One after another, Su Wanqiu handed in her paper, and then Qiao Manman handed in hers.

Yang Bai finished correcting the errors and began to announce them.

Qiao Manman nervously rubbed her hands together and breathed heavily beside her.

"Su Wanqiu scored 87 in Chinese and 97 in Politics."

"Qiao Manman scored 76 in Chinese and 93 in Politics."

Qiao Manman breathed a sigh of relief, her eyebrows relaxing: "That's great, I got 169 points in two subjects, which is just enough to make up for my weakness in math."

Yang Bai smiled and reminded him, "Don't be too happy yet. Tomorrow's test will cover all your weak areas. You must get over fifty points in each subject, understand?"

Qiao Manman nodded vigorously, her eyes serious. "I understand. By the way, Yang Bai, can you promise me something?"

"What is it?" Yang Bai asked.

Qiao Manman looked up at him and said, "If I get my target score, I'd like to go fishing after the college entrance exam, is that okay?"

Yang Bai agreed.
