After the poor daughter was exposed: bigwigs from all walks of life went crazy

"I noticed that many people on today's train brought their children to register in person." Li Dan looked around and found that most of them were parents with children.

"Of course not. Kids nowadays are very precious. Besides, if a child can pass the exam to study in Zhengzhou, the parents will hold him in high esteem."

The woman sitting opposite Li Dan spoke as she looked at her daughter who was fiddling with her new cell phone with satisfaction.

"Oh, it's the new iPhone 4, it must cost a lot of money."

Li Dan noticed with her sharp eyes that it was the smart touch-screen phone that her son had been pestering her for for a long time.

Upon hearing that it was an iPhone 4, Li Dan's son looked over in haste, his eyes filled with envy.

"6000 yuan is a bit expensive, but my child did well in the high school entrance exam, so I bought it without hesitation." The woman reached out to smooth her beautifully groomed hair, and when she mentioned her child's grades, her expression was filled with visible pride.

"Really? How many points?"

When it comes to money, Li Dan really doesn't have much confidence, but when it comes to her child's grades, she suddenly becomes excited.

"She ranked third in our city with a total score of 575." The woman raised her lips, obviously very confident in her daughter's performance.

As soon as she finished speaking, the other passengers around her focused their attention on the girl holding the iPhone 4.

"This score belongs to students of Zhengzhou Foreign Language School!"

"I am so thankful that my child was admitted to the No. 1 middle school in the province. This score is really incomparable."

"..."

After hearing everyone’s praise, the woman felt that the iPhone 4 she bought for her daughter was really worth it!

When Li Dan's son Zhao Ziang heard this score, he sneered. "Mom, if I get 575 points, I can buy an iPhone 4. Then you have to buy me an iPhone with this score."

Hearing this, the woman's smile froze on her face and she looked at Li Dan in disbelief.

"Second in the province, 590 points. If there hadn't been a dark horse this year, my son would have been the top scorer in the province."

Li Dan suppressed the upward curve of his lips and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

Her voice was quite loud, so as soon as she said this, everyone in the car looked over curiously.

"Oh my god, he's really the second place. I've seen reports about him in the newspaper."

"This train of ours is truly full of hidden talents!"

"This score should be the legendary Zhengzhou Foreign Language Key Class!"

The parents were amazed, and some even walked up to add Li Dan's contact information to discuss educational methods.

The girl holding the iPhone 4 silently put the phone into her pocket, no longer wanting to show off.

The woman gritted her teeth secretly. With her daughter's grades, it would be difficult for her to meet someone with a higher grade. Today, she was unlucky enough to meet the second place in the province.

The conversation among several parents comparing their children's academic performance was naturally heard by Shen Shu who was sitting next to them.

But what she felt more was sighing in her heart. The comparison of parents in Country Z is well-known internationally. Apart from material things, they will compare their children with friends, colleagues or neighbors on everything from test scores to trivial matters.

Countless children grow up in this kind of repressive education. They look healthy on the outside, but their hearts are riddled with holes in this exploitative environment.

Therefore, in later generations, when young people who had experienced enough of this kind of suffering became parents, they gradually changed this trend.

Shen Shu was very glad that Shen Guojun and Zheng Wanhua were parents who adopted an encouraging education approach, and she did not become a weight for comparison in their parents' hands.

The woman who was suppressed by Li Dan felt very uncomfortable when she looked at her daughter's frustrated self-confidence. So when her eyes swept to Shen Shu who was alone not far away, she had an idea.

"Little girl...little girl, I'm calling you by your auntie."

Shen Shu turned around calmly and looked at her in confusion.

"Which school are you from? Maybe you go to the same school as my aunt's daughter."

The woman looked proud, raised her hand to press down her hair, and asked in a high voice.

"Zheng City Foreign Language School." Shen Shu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and had vaguely guessed what she wanted to do.

Shen Shu didn't expect that even if he didn't say anything, he would still be dragged into this score comparison.

Hearing the little girl's answer, the woman's eyes lit up instantly and she said, "Oh, what a coincidence, how many points did you get in the high school entrance examination?"

She just got beaten by the second place in the province, so she didn't believe that anyone in this car could score higher than her daughter. This little girl came alone, and her family probably didn't pay much attention to her. She probably just got in by the margins of the foreign language major because her score was not high enough.

Listening to the chattering of the parents surrounding Li Dan, and then looking at this woman who was still focused on competing in grades, Shen Shu curled his lips helplessly.

"598 points."

Such a light sentence is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea.

The carriage fell silent for a moment, and both parents and students looked at Shen Shu in unison, who had a calm and composed expression.

"You...you are the provincial champion of that county?!"

“I remember she was a little girl.”

"This is not Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this is Wenquxing coming down to earth."

"..."

Hearing what others were saying, the woman was stunned and stood still looking at Shen Shu, forgetting even to continue with the polite words.

Li Dan and Zhao Ziang, who were originally surrounded and admired by the crowd, suddenly raised their heads when they heard the words, with expressions of shock.

Everyone was shocked by this provincial top scholar who appeared out of nowhere.

The little girl sat alone in silence, but unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth she came up with a bombshell that made everyone's heads buzz.

You have to know that this is the provincial top scorer who broke through the siege among one million candidates. Within two days after the results were released, this score close to full marks was publicized by the media and newspapers and known to the whole province.

Compared with the provincial top scorers in previous years, this score is a huge improvement.

What kind of parents can raise such a child?

Some people wanted to open their mouths to ask something, but were instantly interrupted by what Shen Shu said.

"If you have that time, you might as well pay more attention to your children's inner world."

From then on, the whole carriage was very quiet. When the provincial champion came out, everyone stopped comparing themselves to each other and stopped talking.

"..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard this train. The next stop of the train is Zhengshi Station..."

The scenery outside the window kept changing. Amid the familiar yet unfamiliar train announcements, Shen Shu finally arrived at the city where he went to college in his previous life, and also the starting point of his entrepreneurial journey in this life.

She has walked out of a timeline that is completely different from her previous life. What kind of butterfly effect will her arrival trigger and whose fate will continue to change?

All these unknowns made her feel longing.
