Chapter 30 It's incredible! My son really got accepted into Jiangnan University!
Chen Zhiyuan stood up, walked to the telephone, and picked up the receiver.
Although Zhang Hui and Chen Jianguo said they didn't believe it, they subconsciously held their breath and followed their son's movements closely.
Perhaps because the inquiry had just started, there were too many people calling the hotline, and Chen Zhiyuan had to dial several times before finally getting through.
He pressed the speakerphone button.
"Beep...beep..."
After a brief pause, a clear, standard synthesized female voice came from the phone, echoing in the unusually quiet living room:
"Congratulations, Chen Zhiyuan! You have been admitted to the Computer Science and Technology program at Jiangnan University..."
There seemed to be a few more words, but Zhang Hui and Chen Jianguo couldn't hear them clearly anymore.
The two of them widened their eyes instantly, their mouths slightly open, their expressions shifting from confusion to astonishment, and then to unbelievable ecstasy. As if they had been frozen in place, they were completely still and even forgot to breathe.
The call had automatically ended, emitting a busy tone, and the two of them seemed to be unleashed from a spell, suddenly snapping back to their senses.
Zhang Hui's voice trembled slightly, filled with a dreamlike uncertainty: "Honey...did I...heard wrong, or am I dreaming?"
Chen Jianguo took a deep breath, his chest heaving, his face flushed with excitement, and his voice involuntarily rose eight octaves:
"You heard right! Honey! We didn't hear wrong! Our son... our son really got accepted into Jiangnan University! Computer Science! A popular major!"
"It's true! My son really got into Jiangnan University!" Zhang Hui's voice suddenly rose, trembling with tears, her eyes instantly reddening, and joyful tears almost spilling out!
Chen Jianguo muttered to himself, his face filled with immense, overwhelming joy: "Our ancestral graves... are truly blessed! My son actually... actually got into Jiangnan University!"
Seeing his parents' almost uncontrollable excitement, Chen Zhiyuan was deeply moved. The saying "parents always hope their children will succeed" is truly apt.
After a long while, Zhang Hui finally managed to calm her agitated emotions. She picked up the phone herself and carefully dialed the inquiry number again, listening to the admission information carefully and word for word.
After confirming that everything was correct, a bright and genuine smile finally bloomed on her face, her eyebrows and eyes brimming with joy.
"Son! What do you want to eat today? Mom will make it for you! Let's celebrate!"
Chen Jianguo waved his hand grandly, exclaiming with boundless pride, "Forget cooking! We're going out to eat today! I absolutely have to have a couple of drinks! I'm so happy! Hahaha! It's like a dream, my son really got into Jiangnan University!"
He paced back and forth in the living room, excitedly exclaiming, "Honey! This is Jiangnan University! One of the top universities in the country! I... I still can't believe it!"
Zhang Hui was beaming: "I can hardly believe it myself, but it's true! Our son is really something! Wait a minute, I need to call his grandparents right away to share the good news! And his uncles, aunts..."
"Yes, yes, yes! We must share the good news!" Chen Jianguo nodded repeatedly. "We can't leave out any of our relatives and friends! We have to tell them this incredible news!"
The couple immediately took action, picked up the phone, and began dialing numbers one by one.
Every time the call connected, their faces beamed with undisguised pride and joy. Their voices were loud and their tone was impassioned as they eagerly shared the good news that their son had been admitted to Jiangnan University.
Seeing his parents immersed in immense happiness and pride, busy with their tasks, Chen Zhiyuan smiled knowingly.
He didn't disturb his parents' happiness; he simply got up quietly, tiptoed out of the house, and gently closed the door behind him.
This is their moment of glory, so let them fully enjoy this hard-won joy.
Stepping outside, the summer morning sun was already quite dazzling.
Chen Zhiyuan pulled out his Nokia phone from his pocket, eager to share the good news.
Several figures flashed through my mind... He Fei, Jin Liang...
Since He Fei's family doesn't have a phone, let's call Jin Liang.
The call connected quickly, and Jin Liang's familiar loud voice immediately came through: "Zhiyuan! Feeling itchy for a game again? Want to go to an internet cafe and play a couple of rounds?"
Chen Zhiyuan laughed heartily, his voice full of delight: "Come out quickly! Your godfather is in a good mood today, so I'll treat you to internet access and unlimited iced cola!"
"Really?!" Jin Liang's voice instantly rose eight octaves. "Godfather, why are you being so generous today? What's the good news? Tell me!"
Chen Zhiyuan didn't keep them in suspense and announced directly: "Don't you know? Today we announced the results of the top university admissions. Your godfather has been admitted to Jiangnan University!"
There was a full two or three seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
Then, Jin Liang's shocked exclamation, almost breaking his voice, suddenly exploded: "My God!! No way, 538 points to get into Jiangnan University, you've gotten a huge bargain!!!"
He was so excited he was almost incoherent: "If word gets out, those guys who scored 580 or 600 points and didn't apply to Jiangnan University will probably be kicking themselves and crying their eyes out in the bathroom!"
Chen Zhiyuan burst into laughter again, amused by his exaggerated reaction: "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and come out, let's meet at the usual internet cafe!"
"Okay! I'll be right there! Immediately! Right away!"
Jin Liang's voice was full of excitement and pride. Before he had even hung up the phone properly, there was a rustling sound, indicating that he had already rushed out the door.
With everything settled and Chen Zhiyuan officially admitted to Jiangnan University, he had no more worries and happily went to the internet cafe to play a few more rounds with Jin Liang and relax.
On the other side, Zhang Hui, carrying that familiar shopping basket, was beaming with joy, unable to hide her happiness. She was preparing to go to the market to do some serious shopping and cook some hearty dishes for lunch to reward her family's hero.
The entire residential area of Shuguang Machinery Factory is inhabited by long-time neighbors who know each other very well.
Seeing Zhang Hui's cheerful and breezy demeanor, people naturally came up to chat out of curiosity.
"Huizi, what wonderful news has happened? Look how happy you are, you can't stop smiling!"
Although Zhang Hui wasn't one to boast, she didn't hide anything when asked, her voice brimming with joy: "It's nothing much, just that my son, Xiao Yuan, got accepted into Jiangnan University!"
What!
Jiangnan University! ! !
That's a top-tier university in the country, with admission scores that are frighteningly high every year. Chen Zhiyuan actually got in!
