The first call Jiang Ting received was from the admissions office of Qing University.
Beijing University and Qing University are the two top-tier universities in China, equally reputable and prestigious, and naturally, they're also competitors.
So, every year when the college entrance exam results are announced, both universities compete fiercely to recruit the top scorers from different provinces to enhance their reputation and attract talent.
The call from Qing University's admissions office came through with a tone that could be described as eager.
"Hello, Miss Jiang, are you the parent of Lu Sheng, who scored 750, and Lu Youming, who scored 740?"
"May I ask if your two children have already decided on a university? If they are interested in coming to Qing University, we can offer the best benefits, such as scholarships for freshmen and opportunities for studying abroad."
