Chapter 1778 Wang Jiaxing Returns (2)
Of course Sun Shan would not say that he got in through a letter of recommendation.
So he replied, half-seriously, "So you guys have to pass an exam to enter Yuelu Academy? I didn't have to take an exam, I got in directly."
Wang Jiaxing's eyes widened, he took two steps back, and said in surprise: "Sir, so you went in through the back door?"
Wang Jiaxing was no fool, and he had already inquired about the admission method of Yuelu Academy.
An excellent student like him with no background needs to pass an assessment before he can get in.
Some of them come from wealthy and powerful families and get in through power and money.
It is true that one cannot judge a book by its cover. It turned out that Lord Sun got in through connections.
Emma, this is a really powerful thing.
Sun Shan looked at Wang Jiaxing speechlessly. Although what he said was right, he should not say it again next time.
Sun Shan would never admit that he had used a backdoor, and he said confidently: "I was recommended by the dean of Yuelu Academy. He saw that I was well educated and didn't want me to be buried, so he recommended me for admission."
He Shujin, the eldest cousin, recommended Sun Shan to Dean Chen, who allowed Sun Shan to enter the school after a brief assessment.
It is not wrong to say that President Chen recommended Sun Shan to join.
Wang Jiaxing's eyes flickered again and again, and he said excitedly: "Sir, you actually know the dean?"
Oh my god, this is incredible. I didn't expect that the ordinary Lord Sun has such a wide network of contacts. He even knows the dean of Yuelu Academy.
Damn, this relationship is awesome, I really want to climb it.
Sun Shan immediately stopped Wang Jiaxing from thinking about it and said directly, "I'm not very familiar with the dean. He just let me in because he saw that I was so talented. We don't have much friendship."
It feels like there is something fishy going on here.
Wang Jiaxing didn't believe it.
But I never thought of asking Sun Shan to help recommend it.
Because at this moment Wang Jiaxing was very proud and arrogant, especially since he was able to rank in the top five this time, he was even more convinced that he was a child of destiny.
So I was very confident that I could be admitted to Yuelu Academy and I didn't need any connections to get in.
Wang Jiaxing asked, "Sir, what is Dean Chen's personality like? What kind of essays does he like? If I write an essay he likes during the exam, will it increase my chances of admission?"
This is called catering to the dean's tastes and writing a shocking work that the dean will have to accept after reading it.
Haha, Wang Jiaxing foolishly imagined that he could become the most talented student in Yuelu Academy.
Speaking of President Chen, he was the president of Yuelu Academy before coming to Yuanlu, but I haven't heard from him for a long time since then. Maybe he has retired.
Sun Shan kindly reminded: "You need to find out who the current president of Yuelu Academy is. It has been several years since I studied at Yuelu Academy. It is unknown whether President Chen is still there."
After a pause, he added, "Also, it may not be the dean who marked the papers. It may be another teacher who marked the papers. You may have submitted your application to the wrong person. You need to find out more about this information."
Although Wang Jiaxing had no sense of gratitude, he was young, hot-tempered, arrogant and self-righteous.
But his three views are still within the normal range, and there are no mistakes in principle. Overall, he is a normal person.
Of course, more because of the many gifts given by the Wang family, Sun Shan magnanimously forgave Wang Jiaxing and hoped that he would go further and further in the future.
When Wang Jiaxing heard Sun Shan's reminder, he immediately became anxious: "Sir, I forgot to find out who wrote the test paper and who graded it. Oh, I didn't think enough."
Then he bowed and thanked: "Thank you for your reminder, sir."
It was getting dark and Wang Jiaxing had already finished half of his soup, so they had no choice but to keep him here for dinner.
By the way, I'd like to find out about the college entrance examination.
Sun Shan asked, "Was this exam easy? How did you do on your paper?"
In fact, I want to ask: Why are you ranked so high? What kind of luck did you have?
Speaking of the college entrance examination, Wang Jiaxing said proudly: "Sir, this time the test paper is very difficult, but I can do it, hahahaha."
As he spoke, he began to laugh smugly.
Sun Shan: ...
Young and frivolous, young and frivolous...
Sun Shan said speechlessly, "Write out your paper from memory before you go back. I want to see how well you write it."
At this point, Wang Jiaxing shrank his head, feeling guilty and not daring to look at Sun Shan, and said, "Sir, this, this is not necessary. Actually, my paper is not that good. Haha."
Sun Shan glanced over, glared, and immediately hung him high.
Wang Jiaxing was so scared that he almost fell off the dining table.
Wang Jiaxing trembled and said with a stiff face: "Sir, actually, actually, this time in the college examination, hehe, I, I have done two art questions before. Hehe, sir, you have also marked them for me."
After Wang Jiaxing said this, Sun Shan immediately understood why he had ranked so high in the exam. It turned out that he had guessed the question correctly.
Emma, let’s just say, with Wang Jiaxing’s knowledge, it is very likely that he will be on the list, but it is absolutely impossible for him to move up so many places.
Now that the topic was predicted correctly, it is reasonable that the value has surged all of a sudden.
During those months, Sun Shan conducted mock examinations for Wang Jiaxing every now and then, and gave him a lot of questions, among which it was entirely possible that he would get the right one.
The college examination mainly tests the interpretation of scriptures, calligraphy, and classics, as well as a small amount of mathematics, law, and poetry.
After that there are two or three eight-part essay questions.
The above are not difficult for candidates. By memorizing them and understanding their meanings, candidates can also explain why.
The eight-part essay at the end is the most important. I didn’t expect Wang Jiaxing to be so lucky that he actually completed all of them.
Sun Shan suddenly thought of a question: "Did you draw a bad number or a good number?"
When it comes to this issue, Wang Jiaxing has some opinions.
He glanced at Sun Shan secretly and said in a sarcastic tone, "Sir, of course I got the old number. Alas, it's really wrong to let me do the questions next to the toilet. How could I be so unlucky? There are so many good numbers, how could I get an unlucky and stinky number."
Thinking about the past few months, I had to stay in the toilet every time for the college entrance examination simulation. It was really painful.
And all this suffering was in vain.
He has such good luck, how could he draw such a rare bad number?
Wang Jiaxing seriously suspected that Sun Shan disliked him and deliberately played a trick on him.
Of course, even if he had an opinion, Wang Jiaxing didn't dare to say it out loud.
Sun Shan was an official, and how could a mere scholar dare to resist?
My strength doesn't allow it.
Sun Shan sighed secretly.
Wang Jiaxing had everything: the right time, the right place, and the right people. No wonder he did so well in the exam.
This kid is indeed quite lucky, which is really enviable.
Seeing his resentful look, Sun Shan snorted and said, "This is called being prepared for a rainy day, understand? You did so well in the exam this time because you followed the school exam format. When you get to the exam room, you won't be panicking. We have to prepare for the worst when we do things, this is called preparing for a rainy day, understand?"
Of course I understand, but it's too harsh and it makes me uncomfortable.
Wang Jiaxing still knows what's good for him.
He quickly said, "Yes, sir, I understand."
