Chapter 3: Farewell to the Past
Ge Gongming stared at the official smile on Chao Changchang's face that was ugly than crying for a full ten seconds before he spoke: "Dishonesty?
"Why am I a child? Last month, my coming-of-age ceremony was on the social news, [the richest man took 41 million Bugatti as an eighteenth birthday gift], this kind of hot search has been on for several days, and there are also a lot of super words about [should my son be rich]. Mother Ge, who cares so much about her students, didn't she pay attention to it?" Chao Chang sat down for a long time and put his feet on the desk of the director of the Academic Affairs Office.
Ge Gongming saw it once and swept it once, but he couldn't correct the repeated teachings of the tide of Changchang.
Today is the first time, Ge Gongming turned a blind eye to the long tide of hanging children.
Ge Gongming didn't slap Chao's long feet, and slapped the table directly, because he was emotional, he used much more force than he imagined.
There was a loud bang, like the anger of the director of the political and educational office of another school.
This action that did not conform to Ge Ma's personality frightened Ge Gongming himself.
"I ...... Your mom and dad...... Ge's mother ......" Ge Gongming didn't organize his language well, and explained incoherently, "I'm sorry, Ge's mother doesn't want to slap the table on you, don't worry, what is not trustworthy, you haven't graduated from high school yet, no matter how you count it, you are still a child, there will definitely be a way...... There will be a way......"
Ge Gongming stood up from his position, rubbing his hands and spinning in circles, his brain was running rapidly, "It's really not good, you can take the college entrance examination, if you can't fly, if you don't lose your trust, there will be no problem with domestic schools, right? ”
YC International School has registered students in China, and students can take the American college entrance examination ACT and the British college entrance examination A-level, as well as the domestic college entrance examination.
"Domestic college entrance examination? Ge Ma, are you teasing me? I am a person who has been studying international courses since the first grade of primary school, and you let me take the domestic college entrance examination? I also have to take the Tsinghua University and Peking University scholarship, do you think I am a god of the examination?"
"Why aren't you a god of the exam? You are a person who can be admitted to Harvard and Yale by taking the American college entrance examination, and you are a person who can be admitted to Oxford and Cambridge by taking the British college entrance examination, why can't you take the domestic college entrance examination and be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University?"
Chao Changchang pulled the corners of his mouth and did not speak, it is not wrong that the number of people admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University by YC International every year is proud of the whole province, but those people are excellent students who are completely different from Chao Changchang.
At the beginning of YC International School's establishment, due to the shortage of students, it accepted transfer students from all grades.
In the third year of its establishment, YC produced a provincial science champion.
In the fourth year, he won the top prize in arts and sciences.
In the fifth year, there was no champion, and the number of people who went to Peking University and Tsinghua University directly accounted for half of the city, leaving behind the two provincial key schools next door with a history of more than 100 years.
It's only three things, once or twice, it can be said to be luck, and three years in a row is absolute strength.
Since its sixth year of establishment, countless parents have sharpened their heads and sent their students to YC International School.
In the year of graduation from Chaochangchang Elementary School, YC International School no longer accepts transfer students.
Since that year, there have only been two ways to get into YC.
The first is to pass the entrance examination for the first grade of elementary school, and have enough financial strength to study in school for 12 years.
Eleven and a half years ago, when Chao Changchang entered the school, the tuition fee of YC International School was 100,000 yuan/year, and over the years, due to inflation and the school's reputation increasing year by year, the tuition fee has reached 360,000 yuan/year, which ordinary families cannot afford at all.
The vast majority of people at YC International are not from ordinary families.
The second is to wait until the second year of high school and pass the YC International High School Excellence Examination, which is open to students who have completed the first year of high school in the province, with 20 places per year.
Students who pass the merit examination and enter YC International will not only be free of tuition and living expenses, but also a reward of 1 million yuan per person if they take the domestic college entrance examination and go to Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Real money, not discounted at all, and the admission letter will be delivered to the student's home.
Every year, people who want to pass the merit exam to enter YC International School say that they are one out of a million, but one out of a thousand is definitely a conservative statement.
The selection of outstanding students is the most important performance appraisal of the director of the political and educational office of the high school.
The exams for high-performing students are based on the results, but not all of them.
All 20 admission places are in the hands of the director of the political and educational office of the high school, and he has absolute autonomy.
Among the 20 outstanding students, 10 won the million-dollar prize, and the director of the Political and Educational Office was considered qualified, and 12 were considered excellent and could receive the performance award.
YC International School is not short of money, and it doesn't mind giving out a few more million prizes at all.
The purpose of recruiting high-performing students was originally to make the school famous in the domestic college entrance examination.
Using huge scholarships as "bait" to "grab" students who have completed their first year of high school from other schools, and letting those underage students bend their waists for "five buckets of rice" prematurely, YC International School's practice is itself widely criticized.
But from another point of view, a person's score in the first year of high school is not equal to the score of the college entrance examination.
Many people who have good grades in the first year of high school will not be able to do it in the second and third years of high school, and many people who are at the end of the crane in the first year of high school will come from behind.
This is understandable to anyone who has been ravaged by a key high school for three years.
As long as it is not Beijing, a city, there are only a few people who can be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University.
How Ge Gongming brought together this very small group of people two years in advance is definitely a big knowledge.
Ge Ma in the mouth of the tide chief, and "Ge Kongming", the director of the YC Political and Educational Office in the mouth of outsiders.
In the first year of the examination for outstanding students, he admitted all 20 outstanding students, and not a single college entrance examination score was ranked outside the top 100 in the province.
That year, the school gave out an unprecedented 20 million prizes, of which 18 were won by outstanding students.
The remaining two high-achieving students did not have no way to get the award, but because they wanted to choose their favorite majors, they took the scores of Qingbei and applied to the National People's Congress and Fudan.
Since then, Ge Gongming has become an instant hit, and the name of "Ge Kongming" has resounded in the province's education circles.
Such a "Ge Kongming" said that he wanted to use the offers of Chaochangchang Oxford and Cambridge to fill the façade, and Chaochangchang actually believed it in his heart.
No matter how many points the top performers scored, they would be considered to have done well in basic education in the previous ten years, which made Ge Gongming pick up the omissions.
Only when Chao Changchang was brought up since childhood, and everyone said that the students who were taught badly by him had made grades, which made Ge Gongming raise his eyebrows.
Chao Changchang could understand why Ge Gongming was so excited today, and he also knew that the palm that Ge Gongming almost slapped the table was not aimed at himself.
What if Dan Li doesn't understand and know?
If there is light ahead, even if there is only a slight, the tide will not give up.
It's a pity that what lies ahead is just an endless abyss like a black hole.
The past life no longer belongs to him, and the future life ......
Oh, the future.
What extravagant words.
An old man is also worthy of talking about the future?
"This withdrawal application, you will put Ge's mother here first. You go back and calm down first, and Mama Ge will also think of a way, okay?"
Chao Changchang wanted to say that it was not good, his family's problems could not be solved by going back to calm down or a hundred times.
Ge Gongming didn't understand the world in which Chao Changchang grew up, and Chao Changchang didn't want him to understand.
Chao Changchang still had a lot of things to say to Ge Gongming, and in the end, there was only one word that he wouldn't believe at all: "Okay." ”
Let Ge Ma continue to have unrealistic hopes.
Let him turn away in a dashing manner and never come back.
There is no reason for you to suffer a change, so you have to let everyone mourn with you.
Chao Changchang didn't say goodbye to any of his classmates, and he didn't know what to say.
Since entering school eleven and a half years ago, the richest man has been the center of YC International School.
After eleven and a half years, the tide of the first negative family has been long, and I don't want to become the center when I leave.
Coming to the school to find Ge's mother to quit school is a ritual that Chao Chang gave himself, and he came to cut off the last trace of contact with the past.
This watershed between the past and the future needs a bit of ritual.
Whether Ge Gongming signs it or not does not affect the completion of this ceremony.
Climb the stairs from the office building and look up at the sky.
White clouds announce the city's enviable air index.
A round of sunshine that shines high illuminates every corner of the city indiscriminately.
But he forgot to dispel the dark clouds above the long tide.
Chao Changchang has opinions on the whole world around him.
His whole world had collapsed.
Why is the sun still hanging high in the sky?
Why did he become an adult a month before the accident at home?
Isn't it okay to be a month late?
Why didn't Dad abscond with the money before he went bankrupt?
Even if it's just to send him and his mother out first.
Is this idea selfish?
Of course.
But what could he do?
He's a little kid in Ge's mother's mouth.
When everything was irretrievable, my father jumped from the 22nd floor of his office building, first touching the foam slogan on the façade of the 12th floor, and then smashing into the canopy of a five-story tree.
The branches passed through the chest, there was not a single intact rib, and five or six organs were injured, but they were extremely "lucky" not to be in danger of life.
In addition to the "lucky" father, there is also a mother who can't accept the blow, takes her left hand to her right hand, and cuts her wrist twice in a row.
Overnight, Chao Changchang went from being the only heir of the richest family to the only person in the first family who did not seek death.
But what could he do?
He was a man who had just become an adult.
"Tide...... Tide, you wait for me. Chao Changchang had just walked to the playground when Shui Miaomiao's voice came from behind him.
Well, before I walked to the gate of YC International, there was another person who made the tide long and chic-Shui Miaomiao.
Let the female classmates who gave up the ACT without hesitation and postponed the time to go to college.
Shui Miaomiao is the last year of YC International to accept transfer students, since junior high school, she has been a classmate of Chaochangchang, and she is one of the many girls who admire Chairman Chao.
The skin is white, beautiful and long-legged, the speech is soft and glutinous, and when there is nothing to do, he brushes his sense of presence in front of the tide.
But because they have always been in different classes, Chairman Chao is busy, so he has no impression at all.
Until she entered the high school, Shui Miaomiao was elected as the Minister of Literature and Art of the Student Union, and won it in one fell swoop.
Shui Miaomiao just confessed, and the tide Changchang accepted it, the reason is - the tide is tidal, and the tide is a natural pair.
"What's the matter, Qishui, are you here to send me? Mama Ge sold me so quickly. Chao Changchang agreed very casually at that time, but he was spoiled by his words.
If something like this happens in my own family, my girlfriend will be uncomfortable, for sure.
In the month after the family went bankrupt, Chao Changchang didn't contact Shui Miaomiao, and he was stopped at this time, and it was inevitable that he would not go.
Probably because she was in too much of a hurry, Shui Miaomiao panted vigorously: "No, I just happened to see you coming out of Director Ge's office, so I came out to look for you." ”
Chao Chang stroked a strand of hair that fell on her shoulders because she ran too fast, "You ran out to see me off in the middle of class, so reluctant to let me go?"
Shui Miao tugged at the corners of her clothes, and she didn't know where to start when she wanted to speak.
Chao Changchang waited so quietly, waiting for Shui Miaomiao to breathe evenly, and there was no other action, he was an old man, a moving girl with a single hair, it really shouldn't be, and if there was anything else, it was irresponsible.
Chao Changchang didn't think about saying goodbye to his classmates, but if this person was Shui Miaomiao, he should say goodbye.
After hesitating for a while, Shui Miaomiao finally spoke: "When you enter the school, you should use the investment model, right?"
There are two ways to charge tuition fees at YC International School.
There is a normal model like other schools, and the tuition is paid year by year.
There is also an investment model that "stands out from the crowd", paying 10 years of tuition at a time, and studying is free every year, and the school will refund the 10-year tuition paid at the time of admission when your student graduates and leaves.
The investment model is equivalent to taking the annual investment income as tuition.
When Chao Changchang entered school, the investment model was to pay 1 million, but now the tide is rising, and parents need to pay 3.6 million yuan at one time if they want to "study for free".
Shui Miaomiao didn't say it, Chao Changchang forgot that he dropped out of school, and there would be a pen "legacy property".
At this time, the people who can still think about him in everything and everywhere, except for Ge Ma, probably only Shui Miaomiao is left.
"It's really an investment model, thank you for reminding me. "The tide is long and his eyes are sour, I didn't expect that I was young and frivolous, and I really looked at people well.
Such an atmosphere, such a scene, is especially suitable for a hug.
But the tide held back.
It's still a school.
Even if it's not, a girlfriend or something, you need to stay in the past.
He is an old man, there is no need to pull such a good girl to endure hardships and hardships.
"That's it...... I went to your house last year, didn't my dad pick me up?...... We haven't been downstairs yet...... My dad heard that the project of the tallest building was particularly profitable...... I also bought a million shares...... I...... Dad said, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how your family is, there will definitely be no shortage of our million......" Shui Miao said for a long time.
“......”
The slap in the face came too quickly, like a tornado.
Chao Changchang has never heard his father talk about such a thing.
It was many years ago that the first highest-rise project was won by the tide first-class people, and the brothers who had to participate in a share at that time, even if they didn't take 100 million yuan to participate in the shares, at least there were 350 million, 1 million such an investment, and it was absolutely impossible to see the richest man in the tide.
If this is really accepted, it is purely to give the girl his son likes a face.
No wonder after that day, as long as his son studies well, he doesn't care about anything, and suddenly said something serious, looking for a good-looking person to fall in love, and finding the right person to get married.
"That's it?" Chao Chang smiled handsomely, "I know, I'll talk to Ge's mother when I go back, I'm leaving anyway, if the school wants to refund the money, I'll let you refund it directly, is there anything else?"
"I didn't ...... Nope. Shui Miaomiao shook her head.
Hehe, vision.
Hehe, that's good.
"Do you have a bank card number?" the tide chief asked Shui Miaomiao, who was stunned.
"Yes...... Some. Shui Miaomiao lowered her head, and replied a little unconfidently, her father had taught her for a long time, and she had practiced for a long time, so she never thought that Chao Changchang would agree so simply.
"That's it," Chao Changchang turned around with Shui Miaomiao and went back to Ge Gongming's office, "Mother Ge, I dropped out of school, will the investment money be returned to me back then?"
"Yes, yes, normally it will be returned to you after graduation, if you need it urgently, I will help you think of a way, anyway, you go to university abroad, some are a year earlier, some are a semester earlier, there are all of them, why didn't Ge Ma even think of this!" Ge Gongming habitually blamed himself.
"Don't worry, if you can return it, you can directly help me return the investment money to Shui Miaomiao, do you need me to sign an authorization to change the card number or declare something?"
Seeing that the tide was long and returned, Ge Gongming was full of joy and thought that the tide was long and long, and he was persuaded by Shui Miaomiao to come back, and he didn't plan to drop out of school, but he waited for someone to return the money to Shui Miaomiao.
"What are you doing here?" Mama Ge was a little shocked.
"No, you may not know Lao Lai well, once the money is on my card, it will be directly crossed to fill the bottomless pit of my house. Chao Chang smiled ruffianly and gave a science popularization to Ge Ma, who had never seen Lao Lai: "In addition to the fact that the dishonest person subject to execution cannot fly and high-speed rail and consume highly, he cannot be rich." Before the money owed to the bank is paid off, no matter how much money I make, in addition to the city's minimum living guarantee, it will be directly swept away. ”
Chao Chang Chang didn't tell the truth.
"So? I see. Ge Gongming, who didn't know why, finished taking a pen and paper for Chao Changchang, "You write a statement first, and I'll see how to do it." ”
After arranging for Chao Chang to write a long statement, Ge Gongming turned to Shui Miaomiao, who had been lowering his head and not speaking, and said: "It's still Miao Miao's thoughtfulness, Changchang didn't give up Harvard and Yale for you in vain." ”
Shui Miaomiao lowered her head and didn't speak, the atmosphere in the office was a little weird, but after writing the authorization statement, Chao Chang opened his mouth to relieve the siege: "Which eye of mine looks like I can go to Harvard and Yale yet, can't I close it?"
GE GONGMING IS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS WHY CHAO CHANGCHANG HAS TO TAKE THE A-LEVEL AFTER TAKING THE ACT.
Chao Changchang handed over the authorization statement to Ge Gongming, turned his head and asked Shui Miaomiao: "Can you go to class with peace of mind now?"
The tone sounded a little doting, there was no trace of anything unusual in his expression, and the handsome smile was as good as ever.
Shui Miao Miao lowered her head and returned to the classroom.
The young and beautiful back, looking at the long heart, he was a little sad.
Compared with the mess at home, the current one is really nothing.
Shui Miaomiao's ability to go to YC International with 360,000 yuan a year shows that her family background will not be bad.
Her tuition is paid year by year, which shows that she is not the kind of family that is not particularly bad at money.
There are so many banks, in the order of creditors, if Shui Miaomiao's family really invests that one million, if it is put in the bankruptcy liquidation and queued, it will probably be able to queue up for the next life.
Chao Changchang found a reasonable explanation for this particularly abnormal transfer at the moment, and took care of Shui Miaomiao's face and tickets.
He is an adult man, so there is no need to worry about a 17-year-old girl.
He is an adult boy, so there is no need to embarrass the girls he likes.
Gathering his mind, the tide grew and laughed again so ruffian that he didn't take the world into account.
He doesn't have time to take care of this world, he has to go to pick up the tide and be discharged from the hospital.
I don't know where I'm going to pick it up, and I don't know how I'm going to live in the future.
