Hearing this, Chen Ning was utterly incredulous as she argued, "Why not me? Didn't you say it would be based on test scores and admit the best? My score was almost perfect..."
Admissions Director Hu Bin nodded and said, "Miss Lin, your scores in all subjects are exceptional, and we admit this. However, the issue is that there is only one place, and scores are not the only standard for admission. Do you understand what I mean? Your scores are excellent, but your household registration is in Jiangzhou, and your family is ordinary. Lin Yi is an American Chinese who just returned from abroad, and his father is our school trustee; in terms of identity and background, he far surpasses you, a girl from a common family."
Looking at Chen Ning's aggrieved face, Lin Yi laughed and said, "What about it? It's not too late for you to agree to be my girlfriend now."
