54 Jingzhi’s Enrollment
Lu Jingzhi’s kindergarten was attached to No. 1 Affiliated Elementary, so they were in the same school, and the kindergartners did not have to change buildings even when they graduated.
And No. 1 Affiliated Elementary was affiliated to No. 1 High School.
Lu Ning had already taken photos of the test papers which Lu Jingzhi completed, and forwarded them to the headmaster of No. 1 Affiliated Elementary School.
When they arrived at the school, Lu Ning held Lu Jingzhi’s hand and was about to walk in.
Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci stopped the two of them.
“Ning’ning, not that way. This way.”
The kindergarten and primary school had different entrances.
Lu Ning looked at them. “Dad, Mom, we’re headed this way.”
Before the two of them could figure out what their two children were trying to pull, three teachers emerged from the school and headed straight towards the gate.
When they spotted Lu Jingzhi, their eyes shone with curiosity and delight.
As they got closer, the female teacher at their forefront gazed at Lu Jingzhi with indescribable adoration and excitement in her eyes.
Only afterwards did she turn her attention towards Lu Ning.
“h.e.l.lo, I’m the headmaster of No. 1 Affiliated Elementary, Yang Lu.”
Lu Ning smiled and shook her hand. “h.e.l.lo, Headmaster Yang. I’m Lu Ning, Jingzhi’s sister. I’m the one who spoke with you through email.”
Yang Lu nodded agreeably upon observing her well-mannered introduction.
Lu Ning turned to her parents and beckoned for them to come over.
“Dad, Mom, this is Headmaster Yang from No. 1 High School. These are our Mom and Dad.”
After Lu Ning introduced them, she looked at Headmaster Yang.
Headmaster Yang wanted to evaluate Lu Jingzhi’s level of competency immediately. After all, she had never seen him do those tests in person.
After the two teachers behind her introduced themselves one by one, they led them into the school.
Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci were still completely in the dark.
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t know.”
They wanted to ask Lu Ning, but Headmaster Yang kept talking to Lu Ning and the two of them could not find the time to interject.
The few of them arrived at a large conference room.
“Parents, please take a seat. Jingzhi, come and sit over here with us teachers.”
Even though he was deliberately separated a few seats from his family, he was not shaken.
Headmaster Yang placed a few test papers she had prepared in front of Lu Jingzhi.
Lu Jingzhi took a pen from her and thanked her. Then, he started working on them quietly.
Lu Ning sat beside Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi; it was only then that the two of them had a chance to ask Lu Ning what was happening.
Lu Ning whispered to them.
“Jingzhi’s very smart. At his current level, he doesn’t need to attend kindergarten and can get enrolled right away in elementary school. Before this, I tested him at home and then contacted Headmaster Yang.”
The two of them were shocked beyond words, and took a long time to mull over and take this in.
The three teachers constantly watched from the side as Lu Jingzhi finished the test papers. They were all bewildered and excited.
If they did not witness it with their own eyes, they would not have believed it.
He could even do the sixth grade papers quite effortlessly.
The three teachers were astonished, and they talked at length among themselves. Then, they looked over towards his parents.
They took the initiative to walk over.
“Jingzhi’s parents, I wish to talk to you regarding his admission.”
The two parents were still in a daze, so Lu Ning stood up and smiled at them. “Teacher, please continue.”
“Jingzhi is very capable, and we believe he can start from the fifth grade. He’s a prodigy! If he’s nurtured well, he could even become a genius who can contribute greatly to the nation.”
The teacher became increasingly animated as he spoke.
Lu Ning was mentally prepared for this, but she still shook her head. “Jingzhi doesn’t actually have a solid grasp of the fundamentals yet, so can I suggest starting him from the third grade? He’ll have an easier time in the future with a better understanding of the basics. What do you think, Teacher?”
The three teachers exchanged glances with each other, and all of them nodded in agreement.
