Chapter 596: Final Season
Even after deducting the part of tuition that can be reimbursed, Li Xiaoru still needs more than 800,000 yuan, which is still the least expense.
Li Xiaoru already has nearly 100,000 yuan in savings, mainly from participating in the filming of "Little Ladies", and she occasionally takes on temporary jobs on weekends to play the piano in high-end restaurants and bars, earning 2,000 yuan an hour. An Internet celebrity pianist like her, who is a little famous, is still easy to find this kind of job, which can attract customers, and the boss is generous with money.
That night, Li Xiaoru called her mother and said that the school had sent her to study in the United States.
Her mother was overjoyed, smiling happily on the other end of the phone with her father, proud of her excellent daughter. Hearing the laughter of the two, Li Xiaoru originally wanted to ask her family for money, but she couldn't say anything.
She didn't know how much savings the family had, she only knew that her parents had been saving money for her to learn piano all these years, and her mother's winter clothes were only two or three, which had not been changed for several years. It was only after she went to college that her family's financial situation improved.
Li Xiaoru decided to figure it out on her own, but her mother took the initiative to ask her, "How much does it cost to study abroad?"
"The school reimburses me for the tuition," Ms. Li said.
"What about living expenses?" Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, her mother noticed Li Xiaoru's hesitation, "This is a big deal, don't hide it from us, the money is spent, you can earn it back in the future, your future is priceless!"
Li Xiaoru's mother has always held this idea and invested all her money in her daughter's education.
Li Xiaoru hesitated and said, "The annual living expenses are about 300,000 yuan. ”
She didn't want to empty her parents' pockets at once, and said a conservative number. But 300,000 is still a huge amount of money for her family.
Li Xiaoru's mother is psychologically prepared, and many people around her send their children to the United States to study at their own expense, all of which are smashed and sold iron, which costs three or four hundred thousand yuan a year. She and her husband gritted their teeth and were able to make up the money!
She didn't know that a foreign art school like Julia was different from an ordinary university, it was more like an aristocratic school, and only rich people could afford to play it, as long as they entered, it would burn money.
She asked Li Xiaoru about when she would like to ask for the money.
Li Xiaoru said, "At the latest, before New Year's Day." ”
The Juilliard School is now in the middle of the Christmas holidays, and when the holidays are over, Li Xiaoru will have to leave for the United States, she only has two weeks to prepare for visas and other formalities, and she has no way to take the unified final exams for this semester, there are several more important professional courses, she must take separate exams in advance, everything is imminent.
The happy mood calmed down, and Li Xiaoru's mother worried about her daughter again, "So anxious! Can't you come back for the Spring Festival?"
"There is no Spring Festival holiday in the United States, and the time is so tight, it will definitely not come back. ”
After Li Xiaoru finished talking to her mother on the phone, she sent a WeChat message to Liu Yan and Jiang Chengfeng alone. She doesn't want everyone to know about it for the time being, even if it's a friend, it's not close, Jiang Chengfeng is her boyfriend, and Liu Yan is her best friend.
At that time, Liu Yan had just finished the second regular script class on Friday night, and was surrounded by classmates, everyone had a strong interest in her and this class, and they were reluctant to let her leave, everyone happily asked her questions, and some people showed her the calligraphy works they wrote in the dormitory.
Before class tonight, it was still overcrowded, Liu Yan routinely took another roll call, and cleared the students who came to skip class or join in the fun, and the interesting thing is that more than 20 people who skipped class and didn't come to the last class have arrived, which is equivalent to the students who took this course, and there are many of them.
While Liu Yan talked about the main content, she also answered some questions asked her on Weibo and WeChat. It is a combination of online and offline, the classroom atmosphere is very active, everyone has let go of their restraints and dares to say anything.
Hearing the size of the mobile phone, Liu Yan saw Li Xiaoru's message, and a smile of surprise appeared on her face, and some classmates smiled and said, "Don't pester Senior Sister Liu Yan, her boyfriend will definitely come to pick her up!"
Everyone laughed,
Liu Yan was a little embarrassed and helpless, but in fact, Yu Zhan did come, so he was waiting for her downstairs. Everyone still has the ability to see, and they said goodbye to Liu Yan one by one and left the classroom.
Liu Yan just started to pack her things, Xiong Jie was beside her to help her, she said, "Thank you, no need, you go first, I'll come by myself." ”
"It's okay, I don't have anything to do when I go back to the dormitory, I'm not in a hurry," Xiong Jie said shyly.
Liu Yan hadn't spoken a word to Xiong Jie before, but now she is relatively familiar, Xiong Jie is very good, the class is so big, he always helps her in some details.
After packing, Liu Yan put on her schoolbag and went downstairs with Xiong Jie, and they chatted about some topics about the final exam, and after New Year's Day, it was the final exam week of Capital University.
Preparing for the final exam is now Liu Yan's top priority. Because this was her first final exam after she transferred to Capital University, countless people stared at her to see what results she could achieve, whether they were curious or laughing, she couldn't let Professor Su and President Fang lose face.
Now Liu Yan is reading and reviewing every night, and when she finishes these six regular script classes, she has to focus all her energy on the exam.
As for the work at hand, if she is not in a hurry, she will put it down first and wait until after the winter vacation.
"Cute Pet Hospital" 4 is planned to be released around Christmas, and she and her mother plan to take advantage of this wave of traffic to do another Christmas and New Year's Day promotion, and this time Zhang Pei will make her own planning plan. The second is the finals of "The King of Singers", the time is still early, the four new tunes Xue Yunfei and Huo Ming have not finished writing, and it is too late to prepare after Liu Yan's final exam.
Liu Yan asked Xiong Jie a few questions that she didn't understand when she read professional books, and at this time, Liu Yan's understanding of history has not only stayed before the Western Han Dynasty, but also reciting Tang poems and Song lyrics is a trivial meaning, and she will no longer show any horses and feet in conversation and thinking. This also means that the advantage of her crossing is getting smaller and smaller, and she is not confident that she will definitely be able to pass the top students in the class.
So she should be more humble and ask if she doesn't understand.
Xiong Jie didn't reserve it, he answered whatever she asked, and said that he was willing to contribute his notebook to her for reference, Liu Yan was overjoyed and thanked again and again.
The two of them walked out of the teaching building with a smile, Liu Yan saw Yu Zhan, the smile on her face was even worse, Xiong Jie also saw Yu Zhan along her line of sight, but the smile faded.
Yu Zhan noticed his expression, knew it in his heart, raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Xiong Jie didn't approach Yu Zhan, and hurriedly said "Happy Weekend" to Liu Yan and left.
Looking at his back, Yu Zhan said to Liu Yan, "This boy likes you." ”
