She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1058 - 887: Super Star 61 (Double Release)
Hua Yan did not take Molly’s joking words to heart. School starts on August 27th this year, and she still has a week to adjust.
After the exams, she wanted to relax a bit, but Teacher Zhen called her to prepare photos, so she took some and went to the teacher’s house after getting them developed.
"How did you do in the exams?"
"Performed normally, did my best."
The teacher nodded without speaking further. "Let’s go to the Music College. Although it hasn’t started yet, the school’s teachers are already working to prepare for the new semester. I’ll take you to handle the necessary documents."
Being a student at the attached school and having Zhen Hao leading the way made it easy for Hua Yan to obtain courses that usually require passing the college entrance exam to be eligible.
After leaving school, she initially wanted to invite the teacher to lunch, but unexpectedly, he had to be on duty.
"Next time, make ten jin of beef jerky for me, I want the spicy and cumin-flavored ones."
She didn’t expect the teacher’s request to be so simple. Hua Yan thought she had spare time these days, so she went to the market, spent over 2,000 yuan to buy fifty or sixty jin of raw beef, then went home to start cutting it up, marinate it in the fridge overnight for better flavor, fry it dry the next day with appropriate seasoning.
The best beef jerky is kept in vacuum bags, air removed for preservation in space. When they meet again, she can give it to the teacher.
She keeps five jin for Ning Hao, so he can take them to school, and the extra is stored in space to be eaten slowly, of course, counting in a portion for the foodie Molly.
Junior and senior high schools start a week earlier than universities, Ning Hao also arrived in Beijing just in time, only bringing some pricey Northeast dry goods due to the hot weather, which neither of them could bear to give away, intending to save them for themselves.
Generally, they go home once a week, make a lot at a time, preserve it in space, and eat it multiple times during school.
Ning Hao doesn’t have this luxury, but she always finds ways to preserve food often, like vacuum-packed beef jerky can last a few days longer.
Starting school as a sophomore, they don’t have a distinction between arts and sciences, as they are arts students. As long as they pass the professional entrance exam in January next year and reach the academic course score threshold, then their total scores (weighted 50% professional and 50% academic) will be ranked from high to low for admission. This means preferential admission; the higher your academic scores, the higher your success rate.
Each major’s academic score threshold varies, but it’s usually over 400 points, some majors require 450, and some below 400.
Hua Yan’s professional scores always maintain above 600, so her academic scores long exceeded the threshold. With this confidence, she applied for leave to attend classes at the Music College, which was easily approved.
Generally, she needs to take leave for three mornings and two afternoons a week to attend classes.
The results for the Xinghai Cup came out mid-September; Molly actually won the Excellent Award, which is truly commendable. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
She was even better, unexpectedly becoming the only winner of the First Prize in the professional group A, with a prize of 5,000 yuan, along with a trophy and certificate.
Winning involved receiving the prize at the sponsor’s location and even appearing on the news. This was Hua Yan’s first piano professional award since learning, and she won a First Prize right away, even the teacher was surprised.
In addition, she received a scholarship for her first-year semester academic course, although her professional course wasn’t ranked first, she was still among the top.
Jin Yuanqing has been winning awards from the Xinghai Cup since childhood; last year he also won the First Prize in this group, and even funded himself to participate in a piano competition in Germany, showing outstanding people are always more hardworking than ordinary ones like them.
Jin Yuanqing has already secured early admission to the Central Music College next year, not needing to wait until after turning 18.
This semester, the reason he didn’t go directly is likely to prepare for this competition.
Every time Molly sees Jin Yuanqing, she feels ashamed. Without this motivation, her progress might not have been as great.
With 5,000 for the piano competition and 3,000 for the academic course, this 8,000 yuan directly covers her living expenses for the semester.
Hua Yan’s classes at the Music College are known only to the professional teachers, other classmates, including Molly, don’t know. She’s afraid if anyone gets jealous, it might cause trouble.
The attached school is already near the Music College, so it’s not far at all. To fully absorb what the teachers lecture, she also bought a recording pen, placing it on the teacher’s desk for better effects.
