Chapter 7: Score Checking Begins
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Every zero, they had to give the public a reason. If this reason could not convince the public, perhaps everyone who handled it would be in big trouble.
Robinson’s expression changed, and he was about to open his mouth to stop William from making this decision.
“Mr. Robinson, don’t be in a hurry to overturn this decision. You’ll know after you look at the contents of this test paper.”
A teacher beside him saw Robinson’s hesitant expression and knew what he was thinking.
Robinson was stunned when he heard this. Why did so many people know? It seemed like they didn’t object. Did they not know the consequences of a zero?
The more he thought about it, the more curious he became. He quickly walked up to the screen and looked at the contents of the test paper.
After reading one, Robinson’s face was already very bad. After reading one by one, his face was livid.
The atmosphere in the reading room was frozen, and everyone could feel the anger of an old teacher who had taught for many years.
After a long time, Robinson finally calmed down, but the voice can not hide his anger: “These papers! All zero! Rating all D-!”
——————————
The day after all of Raymond’s papers were judged to be zero.
Board of Examiners, in the office.
Robinson had calmed down, feeling that the decision was still a bit hasty, but the decision had been made and could not be changed.
He had a serious look on his face, as if he were making a big decision. Hesitation and determination appeared alternately on his face.
Finally, after a long time, he didn’t know how many cigarette butts had accumulated in the ashtray in front of him. He finally made a decision. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
Soon, the call was answered.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he took the lead and said, “I have a big piece of news here that I believe you will be absolutely interested in! And this news will definitely cause a big discussion!”
When the other party heard this, his tone also became serious. “Mr. Robinson, as long as you can give me such information, I believe our company will not be stingy with such an informant fee. It will definitely satisfy you!”
“100,000 USD! This piece of news is worth 100,000 USD! You only need to give me 100,000 USD! This piece of news will be given to you immediately!”
“100,000 U.S. dollars? Mr. Robinson, do you know how big a deal a 100,000 U.S. dollars news is? Back then, when Snowden announced Project PRISM, he only received a mere 300,000 to 400,000 U.S. dollars. Don’t tell me you want to tell me about the news about District 11?” The person on the other end of the line did not expect it either. Robinson’s appetite was so big?
Robinson knew that everything had to be proven. It was impossible for him to spend 100,000 U.S. dollars just because of one sentence from him.
He turned on the camera function on his phone and took a photo of the test paper on the table. He sent it over by email.
After doing all this, Robinson leaned back in his chair, looked at his phone, and slowly waited.
He knew that the man known as the Hound would never miss such news.
His price was definitely worth it!
Ring, ring, ring!
In less than three minutes, the phone began to ring urgently.
Robinson picked up the phone slowly and pressed the answer button. “How is it? Is it worth this price?”
The hunter dog reporter said urgently, “No problem, Mr. Robinson. I will prepare the money for you now. 100,000 is all cash and small food coupons. Is it the old way of trading?”
“The old way. Remember to be careful. Don’t give away anything!” Robinson said in a relaxed tone when he heard that he was about to earn 100,000.
“I hope Robinson can keep this a secret. I can be an exclusive on this news!” The reporter reminded him.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was time to announce the score.
In a row house in Little Rock City.
This was the residence of Raymond’s parents.
From the layout of the house, it could be seen that Raymond’s family was not a wealthy family. They were only middle-class, and they could fall out of the middle class at any time.
Today was the day to announce the SAT score, and it was also the day that all the students and parents looked forward to.
It was just past eight in the morning.
Raymond lay on the sofa in the living room, holding the remote control and playing a game with boredom.
The announcement of the SAT score had nothing to do with him, and he wasn’t as nervous as the other examinees.
What was there to be nervous about? He was already prepared to get a zero in all subjects!
Raymond’s expression was calm, and he was in the mood to tease the Oprah Winfrey talk show guest that wasn’t as famous as before.
With a bang, Raymond’s parents directly opened the door and walked in, looking anxiously at Raymond’s trail.
They saw Raymond still lying on the sofa, watching TV with a relaxed expression.
The parents’ expressions changed. “You’re still in the mood to watch TV?! Hurry up and check how the SAT test is going!”
Raymond’s mother also said anxiously, “Raymond, hurry up and get up. Check the SAT results. Your father and I are very concerned about you.”
When Raymond heard this, his expression became difficult. The Oprah talk show he saw just now didn’t feel funny anymore.
“Okay… Okay, I… I’ll go check it out now.” Raymond quickly struggled up from the bed and walked to the computer in the study room.
Raymond’s parents looked expectant. Raymond did not refuse and followed them in. The three of them looked at the computer screen, but their expressions were different.
Raymond’s movements were slow. Like an old man, he slowly opened the web page and refreshed it continuously. After a long time, he finally opened the search interface.
This slow movement made Raymond’s father unhappy.
“Can you hurry up? Are you going to give us a heart attack?”
Raymond’s mother said gently, “Alright, alright. Raymond is also nervous. Don’t give him any pressure.”
Raymond was a little embarrassed when he heard that. He was originally very calm and not nervous at all, but now he was a little embarrassed.
After the exam, he had always wanted to tell his parents the truth, but after hesitating for a long time, he was still too embarrassed to say it.
He was a little afraid that his old father would chase him out of the house and cause him to wander the streets.
But things had come to this point and he couldn’t drag it out any longer.
He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. Raymond opened the interface and skillfully entered the password with the keyboard.
Soon, a brand new interface appeared.
All of Raymond’s achievements were shown.
After doing all this, Raymond went straight out of the room and sat down in the living room.
