Chapter 56: Schools in Silicon Valley?

In the United States, favors are favors, business is business, and the two are clearly separated.

Personal preference is not so important, whether it is Su Mu or Old Man Su, they don't think that there is anything wrong with Qiao Wuye lending money to Ge Dalong, it is really bad from a logical point of view, but Qiao Wuye will definitely be able to get a high return if he lends money to the other party, and they have no reason to point fingers at this.

Surprised that the two were arrested, Old Man Su had just met Ge Dalong's son Ge Qiu in the morning, and met Director Gilly of the SSA during the negotiations in the afternoon, so he suddenly guessed something and continued to ask, "Old Five, what's going on?"

Seeing the expressions of the two grandfathers and grandsons, Fourth Master Qiao realized that they really didn't know about it.

"I heard that a lot of old Chinese relief funds were embezzled by the SSA people and Ge Dalong.

After being reported by a lawyer, the prosecutor came to the door, and it happened that the supervisor was about to escape, and he was still carrying a large bag of cash, more than 200,000 yuan, and he confessed to Ge Dalong soon after he was taken away, and all the employees of the Security Administration were taken away, and you didn't pay attention to such a big thing. ”

There are many people under Qiao Wuye.

The gossip in the Chinatown area almost couldn't escape his ears, and after receiving the news, Lawyer Jiang told him as soon as he received the news.

"Hey, we'll go home when we get the money, I haven't heard of it. Old man Su said.

He looked disgusted and annoyed, hating that someone had embezzled the money of those poor old compatriots, and hated Ge Dalong even more than Director Gilly.

It had long been clear that the guy was a bastard, but he didn't expect to do such a disgusting thing.

Su Mu also felt that they were hateful, and finally figured out why Grandma Lin had not been able to get relief money for a long time, and also understood why Old Gilly was so easy to talk during the afternoon negotiations, and he didn't even find a lawyer, so he agreed to the settlement conditions offered by Lawyer Jiang.

At that time, the Chinese who came to the United States from all over the world lived a poor life at the lowest level of society in the United States, so that many people took detours, and the Chinese community lacked the support of local public resources, coupled with the influx of a large number of low-level immigrants, which became a hotbed of criminal activities.

In the United States, illegal Chinese gangs are often supported by legally registered "Tangkou" organizations, which are self-governing organizations of local Chinese, and once the power is in the hands of more undecent people, they will begin to engage in some illegal activities.

At first, they were to unite and resist the intrusion of others, but over the years they have gradually changed their taste, and even their compatriots have started to do it, and some of them have singled out their compatriots to do it, collect protection money, fight, and even peddle illegal drugs, and force the good to become prostitutes.

Strictly speaking, Qiao Wuye is not a good person, he may be very good to the Su family, but he is really not a good person.

When he was young, he also committed crimes, and later his status became higher and higher, so he stopped and became a talker, and then the business gradually grew, and he also occupied a place at the top of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in North America.

He continued to say to the Su family and grandchildren at this moment: "I didn't know Ge Dalong before, where did he make so much money, it turned out that this little bastard did this kind of thing secretly, I said how to go to Las Vegas to open a casino, it is estimated that he is laundering money, and the money from the pit wants to be spent, and it is not okay if he doesn't wash it." ”

Sitting on the large sofa in the luxurious office, the topic gradually turned to their respective parents, Old Man Su and Fifth Master Qiao live completely different lives, except for the small things in life now and then, it is difficult to talk together.

Some old friends will slowly drift apart, not because they don't have the friendship they had back then, but because they live a life that belongs to each other, and even if they stay together, it is difficult to find common topics, and over time they will no longer contact each other.

The two of them have known each other since they were very young, and now they are more like strangers who are a little closer, so Old Man Su is reluctant to trouble Fifth Master Qiao, even during the most difficult period of the family, that is, the year when Grandma Su Mu was sick and needed treatment, he did not open his mouth to borrow even a penny, and the only remaining incense was worth more than twenty or thirty thousand dollars.

The elders reminisced about the past, Su Mu couldn't interject next to him, he thought it was very interesting to hear, his grandfather hesitated for a while, and still asked, "I just came over, I heard you and your son arguing, did you encounter something?"

"Almost, something happened, I hope he can grow his brain, I always have to help him in the end......"

Qiao Wuye also had a headache when he encountered family matters, and he was reluctant to say more about his son, so he jumped the topic to Su Mu and asked him: "What grade are you in, which school are you studying in now?"

Su Mu was a little restrained and replied, "Castellal, it's not far from here, I just took the SSAT, and I plan to change to a private middle school." ”

The old man Su next to him added proudly: "Well, I did well in the exam, and I hope to get a free admission place in a private high school." Those private high schools are trying to make money, and the tuition is too expensive, so it would be nice if they could save it. ”

Knowing that Castellar's teaching quality is not good, in fact, there are no good schools near Chinatown at all, maybe it is very comfortable to chat with Old Man Su, who has been busy intriguing all day long to deal with the company's affairs, and has a rare opportunity to chat calmly, Qiao Wuye is in a good mood, and suddenly told:

"If you want to transfer schools, I can help.

My second sister-in-law is now in a pretty good private high school near San Francisco, which is in charge of admissions, and maybe she can get a full scholarship. I can't guarantee whether it will be successful, but if you have good grades, you will definitely have more hope than others, that is, you will be far away from home. ”

The matter of his grandson Su Mu's school has become the source of Old Man Su's anxiety recently, hoping that Su Mu can win a full scholarship, but he doesn't want to put too much pressure on him, so he has to hold it in his heart, the high tuition fee is too heavy a burden for the Su family.

Immediately got hearted, and asked: "It's okay if it's not far away, your second sister-in-law's surname is Pei, right, the girl from Uncle Pei's family who used to be lame? I went to them when they got married...... Of course it would be better if I could get in, so could you please help me ask?"

In the past few years, Old Man Su has never troubled Fifth Master Qiao.

Today, for the sake of his grandson, he has already asked him to help once, and it seems that he will trouble for the second time, in the final analysis, he still has no confidence in Su Mu, and he can find someone to help admit him, which is naturally more certain than competing by grades alone.

In the old man's opinion, all the private schools were better than Castellar Middle School, and he didn't even ask the name of the school, so he agreed instead of Su Mu.

If only Grandpa was present, Su Mu would definitely refute it, but now the situation is not suitable, giving his old man a look, Old Man Su just can't see it.

Don't feel troublesome, Fifth Master Qiao was also out of kindness, and said with a smile: "Okay, give me the information, I'll help you ask, and I'll give you an answer in a few days."

It's a good school, and it's next to Stanford University, so it's easier to get into this university in the future. ”

Su Mu was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, isn't that in Silicon Valley?

His impression of Silicon Valley was that of high-tech products, including computers, and that it seemed good to be able to go to school, but his resistance immediately weakened, and he couldn't help but feel that this school was more suitable for him......
