Ye Qiu's marinated dishes were a hit at the night market, quickly selling out and gaining popularity through word-of-mouth. Sister Li, impressed by Ye Qiu's cooking and the family's situation, offered to help enroll Ye Guo in the local high school by contacting her dean relative. Ye Guo took a challenging entrance exam, feeling confident due to his recent academic improvements.

"Brother, this is the child I told you about." Aunt Li’s elder brother, Director Chen, looked quite like her, both having big round faces, but while one appeared kind and friendly, the other looked authoritative.

Director Chen glanced at Ye Guo and nodded: "A spirited child indeed."

"Of course, if he weren’t excellent, would I have brought him to you?"

"Would you like to rest for a bit before the test?" Director Chen asked Ye Guo.

"No need." Ye Guo shook his head, "We can start now."

"Alright, you sit here. Teacher Zhang, haven’t you prepared your math test paper? Give one to this child to try."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhang placed a test paper in front of Ye Guo and comforted him: "Don’t feel pressured; I deliberately made this paper quite difficult."

"Thank you, Teacher." He spoke and then picked up the paper to start answering, and Teacher Zhang, seeing him solve the multiple-choice questions almost instantaneously without calculation, became interested and decided not to leave, standing behind him to watch.

It wasn’t until the final particularly difficult multiple-choice question, reaching the Olympiad standard, that Ye Guo took the draft paper to calculate. The process was remarkably straightforward and clear; most students probably wouldn’t understand how he came up with it.

So Teacher Zhang’s smile widened more and more, a genuine delight from witnessing talent, not only pleasing Aunt Li but also arousing curiosity among Director Chen and the other teachers in the office.

Considering Ye Guo was still working, everyone refrained from interrupting, though two teachers passed by, pretending to pour water, but actually sneaking a peek.

Ye Guo used less than three hours to complete a paper, and Teacher Zhang, observing his neat work, was filled with admiration: every answer correct, the paper orderly, with rewritten steps noted, not a single mark deducted.

Teacher Zhang thought that even the best math student in his class might have all correct answers, but they could never make the paper so clean and enjoyable to look at.

"Have you participated in the Olympiad?" He looked at Ye Guo, eager to enroll him in his class, such a student being truly rare.

"Yes." Ye Guo nodded, "Won first prize."

"No wonder, good child."

"Looks like he’s done well?" Director Chen couldn’t hold back and asked.

Teacher Zhang was grinning ear to ear: "More than well? If the score for this paper wasn’t just 120, I would add more points. Look at this paper, and look at this draft paper; who in our grade could do this?"

The teachers, having seen it, were convinced and couldn’t wait to have him try papers in other subjects. The English teacher was the most crafty, having already prepared the paper, placing it in front of Ye Guo before the others reacted: "Don’t do the listening part, try to finish it in the shortest time; let me see your level."

"Yes, Teacher." Ye Guo said this and quickly started answering, the speed equally swift, almost not needing to think.

Thus, the English teacher’s eyes lit up, followed by Biology, Geography, Chemistry, etc., none of which could stump him, though he took slightly longer on political topics, but the accuracy was equally high. In the end, only the Chinese test remained.

The Chinese teacher’s surname was Duan, a middle-aged woman who seemed stern, but her class’s results were always the best, having won the excellent teacher award multiple times.

She didn’t bring a paper, instead looking at him intently: "I know you, you once won the first prize in the high school essay competition, right? The title was ’Autumn Night’?"

Ye Guo was taken aback, obviously not expecting someone in this city to know him, he nodded slowly: "Yes, Teacher."

Then the other teachers exclaimed again, what kind of immortal student was this? How delightful!

"You wrote that essay wonderfully, would you like to join my class?" Teacher Duan directly invited him.

Among the previous teachers were some class teachers; they instantly became anxious and started competing for him: "Teacher Duan, how can you do this?"

"That’s right, let’s have fair competition."

Teacher Duan ignored their quarrel, continuing to look at Ye Guo: "My class has the best results in final exams, you’ll find your match there.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately quieted down, as they had to admit there was truth to the claim.

"Great, thank you, Teacher." Ye Guo finally smiled brightly, the teachers were happy too, although he was not in their class, they still had a chance to teach him, claiming him as their student.

With the entrance exam approaching, the top scorer for the past two years had been taken by Experimental Middle School, and First High School was in a slump. Originally, they had two promising students, and now with the addition of Ye Guo, perhaps their school might make a comeback.

"Let’s settle it this way, go back and tell your family, the school will handle the school registration, just wait for the new term with peace of mind." Director Chen was genuinely delighted, never expecting his sister to deliver such a surprise.

"Come to my place tonight for dinner, bring your sister-in-law too." Aunt Li spoke to her brother before leaving, although the dinner was actually prepared by Ye Qiu, it was awkward to mention it with so many people in the office.

"Alright."

After returning home, Ye Guo hadn’t managed to speak yet, Aunt Li eagerly shared the good news with Chen Ju, whose eyes squinted with happiness: "Your Ye Guo really made us proud, such a difficult paper, yet scored full marks in several subjects, at that moment several teachers competed to invite him, my brother said the school would handle registration, so you needn’t worry."

"Really?" Chen Ju was overjoyed, never imagining the hardest thing, which had worried her since moving, would be resolved in such a delightful manner.

"Sister Li, thank you so much." Chen Ju shook with happiness, clasping Sister Li’s hand tightly.

"Why thank me? It’s your child’s achievement." Aunt Li grinned widely, "I shamelessly invited my brother over for dinner, let Ye Qiu cook however he likes, just make more of your stewed meat, we all love it."

"Sure, all of it."

Aunt Li had spoken too early, unaware of the heavenly skill Ye Qiu possessed in cooking, otherwise she wouldn’t have only mentioned the stewed meat.

Aunt Li’s voice was loud; soon the neighbors all knew about Ye Guo’s exceptional performance in First High School’s test. No matter where, those with good grades are admired, hence everyone came to offer congratulations.

Chen Ju, in joy, decided that today’s stewed dishes would be offered at twenty percent off, delighting everyone; they filled a bag and went home to have a celebratory meal.
