"How long has the enrollment been open? How is it already full?!" the person on the other end asked, sounding very surprised.
The man on this side of the line said with a bitter face, "That's the thing! In less than ten minutes, the program was full. Isn't that strange?!"
The person on the other end frowned.
He didn't believe in supernatural forces, but he had to admit things had been rather strange lately.
They wanted to change the name associated with the Empire's top score, but they failed.
The program they wanted to enroll in also didn't work out.
The key point was that this program wasn't a popular one at a top-tier university like Beichen University!
This program had very high requirements!
He felt that most people, even the top scorer in the National Higher Education Entrance Examination, wouldn't apply for this program.
How did it fill up so quickly? In short, everything they tried to do failed or was aborted for various reasons...
Too abnormal! The man said angrily, "Investigate! Find out what's going on with this program, and who they recruited?!"
The person on the other end quickly used his connections to find someone inside the admissions office of the Imperial Royal First Military University to inquire about the situation.
The insider was surprised by his question and said, "Why are you asking about this? This program requires an internal recommendation. Do you have one?"
The man said indignantly, "We have legitimate National Higher Education Entrance Examination scores! Didn't you promise to release one spot for National Higher Education Entrance Examination candidates?"
The insider frowned. "Who promised that?"
The man didn't mention any names, but complained, "Hurry up and check what's going on. You clearly said you'd release one spot to recruit from the National Higher Education Entrance Examination candidates! Did someone squeeze them out?!"
The insider immediately checked the system.
After a while, he said, "This program has a total of ten students."
"Nine of them were given to internally recommended personnel, and one was indeed recruited from the Empire's National Higher Education Entrance Examination candidates."
"But you're out of luck. The one recruited from the National Higher Education Entrance Examination candidates this time is the top scorer in the entire Empire's National Higher Education Entrance Examination..."
The man felt like he had been hit hard on the head with a hammer, and he squealed, "...Is it Xia Chujian?! Is the person you recruited Xia Chujian?!"
The insider laughed and said, "Everyone probably knows who the top scorer in the entire Empire's National Higher Education Entrance Examination is. Yes, it's her."
"Tsk tsk, this is really great! It's been more than a decade since we recruited such a talented student! Hahaha!"
The insider was clearly very happy with this result.
But the man was particularly unhappy, and he resented in his heart: It's Xia Chujian again... It's Xia Chujian again!
Does Xia Chujian have a grudge against them?!
Two out of the three things that have failed recently are related to Xia Chujian!
The first time, he wanted to change her score and give it to someone more noble.
As a result, the system was locked, and not only could they not change it, but they also attracted a reverse lock from the Special Security Bureau. They had to abandon a temporary residence to escape unscathed...
This is the second time! The program they wanted was also snatched by her!
This lowly commoner doesn't even ask if she's worthy of this program exclusive to Nobles! The man's face darkened.
Then, he offered very high terms, so high that the person on the other end couldn't refuse.
But just as this person in the admissions office was planning to take the risk, do this deal, and then leave the Beichen Empire to flee far away, he discovered that no matter how he operated in the background, he couldn't shake Xia Chujian's qualifications in the slightest...
It was as if someone with higher authority had locked Xia Chujian's record.
The person in the admissions office immediately exited and said to the person who was trying to get him to use his connections, "Brother, you have to help me with this. I think I've been discovered..."
"You could have messed with anyone, but you had to try to mess with Xia Chujian's records..."
"Please transfer a sum of money to me immediately. I need to go abroad to avoid the limelight!"
As the person in the admissions office spoke, he acted quite quickly, immediately left his office, and ran outside.
And the person who was calling him brother did indeed immediately send a small Civilian Flying Vehicle to pick him up and leave Beichen Star.
But not long after this small Flying Vehicle took off, it suddenly experienced mechanical failure, and the plane crashed, killing everyone on board.
Meng Guanghui leisurely brought his people to chase after them, but he was still a step late.
However, he didn't care, because Huo Yushen had said that the Royal Inner Guard should investigate this kind of matter.
Their Special Security Bureau was just going to be passively resistant.
Moreover, this kind of operation, chasing after the other party and forcing them to constantly cut off their own limbs, was actually quite interesting.
He sent a message to Huo Yushen.
[Meng Guanghui]: Marshal Huo, the target has been silenced.
Huo Yushen gave an "Mm" and said, "Give all of this person's information to Shan Xing as well. He will find the intersection of their network among these people. Also, send a copy of the information to the person in charge of the Royal Inner Guard."
Meng Guanghui understood instantly.
The other party thought that killing someone to silence them would be enough?
How naive...
Big data will make this silencing increasingly difficult.
...
Xia Chujian was completely unaware that just taking the National Higher Education Entrance Examination and applying to a university had already cost several people their lives.
She came to the first floor again and said to her Aunt Xia Yuanfang and Aunt Chen, who were still enthusiastically discussing her university and major choices, "You two, I've already applied to the university and chosen my major, and I've even received the admission notice."
Now, the admission notices for the National Higher Education Entrance Examination in the Beichen Empire are all sent electronically.
So, she wasn't just bragging when she said she had already received the admission notice.
Xia Yuanfang and Aunt Chen stopped talking at the same time and turned to look at her.
Xia Yuanfang carefully looked at Xia Chujian for a while, and found that she couldn't tell from her smiling face whether she was joking or telling the truth...
This child had finally grown to the point where she couldn't figure her out anymore.
Xia Yuanfang sighed with emotion and said with a smile, "You decided so quickly? I was just telling Aunt Chen whether to apply for the Quantum Optical Brain Engineering major or the Law major at Beichen University..."
"With your grades, you don't have to worry about being admitted to any school or major. The key is what you want to do in the future."
"Although not everyone will work in a field related to their major after graduating from university, your aunt still hopes that you won't waste four years and choose a major that will lead you to a job in that field after graduation."
Xia Chujian clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Auntie understands me best!"
"I really don't want to waste four years!"
"So I chose the university and major that I like the most!"
"After graduation, I will definitely work in this field!"
Xia Yuanfang was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said, "Which major? Actually, applying for the Law major is more suitable..."
Xia Yuanfang knew Xia Chujian's grades very well. They were improved by grasping the key points and betting on the questions.
Although Xia Yuanfang was quite surprised that Xia Chujian could improve so much, she also knew very well that Xia Chujian's foundation was not solid.
And that kind of Quantum Optical Brain Mechanical Engineering major was a pure science and engineering major, which not only required a very solid foundation of knowledge, but also a real talent in science and engineering.
Unfortunately, Xia Chujian was still a little lacking in this area.
A major like Law would be better, as it didn't require solid knowledge of physics and chemistry.
And Xia Chujian's mind was quick, and she kept babbling non-stop no matter what, making her a master at brainwashing people...
It should be most suitable to study Law.
Moreover, Xia Chujian had a good relationship with that big shot in the legal field, Quan Yuxun, so she wouldn't have to worry about finding a job after graduation.
Xia Yuanfang had planned everything out for Xia Chujian, only hoping that she could live a safe, healthy, and happy life.
But Xia Chujian opened her mouth and said, "I applied for the Star Destroyer Command major at the Imperial Royal First Military University!"
Then, before Xia Yuanfang could recover from her shock, Xia Chujian hurriedly said, "They gave me a full tuition waiver, a full scholarship, and an additional scholarship of 200,000 Beichen Coins, paid in one lump sum, and tax-free!"
"Isn't it a great deal?!"
Xia Chujian finished speaking with a smile, and found that Xia Yuanfang's face was gradually turning ashen.
She suddenly stood up, pointed upstairs, and said sternly, "You go up there now! Change your application immediately!"
"I'd rather you not go to college at all than let you go to military school!"
Xia Yuanfang finished saying this through gritted teeth, her whole body swaying, her face losing color, her expression full of pain, fear, and an undisguised disappointment and regret...
Xia Chujian had originally wanted to reason with Xia Yuanfang.
But seeing her Aunt like this, she was also frightened. She quickly went over to support Xia Yuanfang's arm and said repeatedly, "Aunt, don't worry, sit down first... Aunt Chen, please get an Advanced Nutrient Solution..."
Aunt Chen hurried to the dining room to get an Advanced Nutrient Solution for Xia Yuanfang.
Xia Chujian quickly unscrewed the cap and put it to Xia Yuanfang's mouth.
Xia Yuanfang was gently pinched on the nose by Xia Chujian, and involuntarily opened her mouth to swallow.
Half a tube of Advanced Nutrient Solution down, the color gradually returned to Xia Yuanfang's face, and her expression was not so painful.
She stroked Xia Chujian's face with her hand and said in a trembling voice, "Chujian, it's not that Aunt is deliberately making things difficult for you..."
"Your parents... died protecting the country, you don't need to fill that role..."
"Besides, this country is not worth you using your life to defend!"
"Chujian, listen to Aunt, let's study something less dangerous, and live our own lives."
"If your parents were still alive, this would definitely be their wish!"
This was the first time Xia Yuanfang had mentioned her parents directly in front of Xia Chujian.
Although it was only a few short sentences, Xia Chujian was shocked.
She tried her best to suppress her uneasy mood, helped Xia Yuanfang sit on the sofa, knelt on one leg in front of her, looked up at Xia Yuanfang, and said softly, "Aunt, don't worry, I understand, I understand everything..."
"But, every generation has its own things to do."
"I know what I can do and what I want to do."
"I can listen to you and change my application to Beichen University for law, or even Quantum Optical Brain Engineering."
"But I won't be happy, I won't be happy in my whole life."
"Do you just want me to live, to live unhappily for the rest of my life? Only caring about the length of life, and not the quality of life?"
Not going to military school would make her unhappy for the rest of her life? Only caring about the length of life, and not the quality of life? Xia Chujian's words, like thunder, rang in Xia Yuanfang's ears, causing her just recovered mood to sink heavily to the bottom again.
