Starting with 318 Points: Awakening the County-Wide Exam Rebate System

Chen Nian's college entrance exam ended in humiliation with a score of just 318 points. At his class reunion the very next day, he was ridiculed by everyone and left utterly disgraced. Yet in the aftermath of those insults, he awakened the County-Wide Gaokao Rebate System—a system that returns a hundredfold rebate on the total exam score of every single examinee in his county. The worst Gaokao county in the province? He immediately pours twenty million into a college entrance exam sprint fund. Poor teaching resources? He hires renowned instructors from home and abroad at astronomical salaries. A dismal school environment? He spends tens of millions tearing it down and rebuilding a natural grass sports field. Terrible cafeteria food? He recruits Michelin-starred chefs from around the world to serve in the school cafeteria. In the end, every student in the county becomes a top scholar, and Chen Nian rises to become an outstanding charitable educator renowned across the nation. When people ask how he managed it all, he simply smiles and replies, "You just weren't willing to spend the money."
