Chapter 18: Five Hundred Dollars
In the past, he was always accompanied by Li Ping'an, but today Su Mu went out alone, carrying a black schoolbag behind him, and he looked like he had been for many years.
At this time, there was a Ferrari sports car, passing by him, and it was difficult for the fiery red figure not to be noticeable, not to mention that the roaring motor had already exposed its existence.
Looking sideways at this car, it was a Ferrari 512BBi that had just been launched last year, and the family could not afford such a good car, but Su Mu liked to know about them, and once fantasized that one day he would become a lawyer and use the money he earned to buy a sports car, a very eye-catching luxury sports car.
He doesn't have much interest in becoming a lawyer, mainly because the profession makes money and has a status in society, although it has a bad reputation as "only knowing money", but there is absolutely no doubt that lawyers belong to the high-income group.
In the driver's seat sat a middle-aged woman in her thirties and forties, dressed quite fashionably, perhaps wanting to be in the limelight, the roof was tucked away, convertible luxury sports cars are very rare in Chinatown, and then, Su Mu met Kate who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Unlike usual, she is dressed more beautifully today, in Su Mu's opinion, the only reason why Kate is involved with this rich woman may be the rumor that she is going to make a movie and go to Hollywood to be a star some time ago, after filming an ice cream commercial last month, a talent scout found her home, and it is said that Ms. Jennifer Connelly, who is very popular now, signed a contract with that company and is very famous.
As I said before, Chinatown is not a big deal, and any news will soon reach everyone's ears, Chinatown has not come out of too many well-known stars, even if they act in movies, they are all bad guys, Kate is mixed-race, but the neighborhood is still proud of it.
Su Mu's footsteps did not stop, looking at the Ferrari in the distance, he understood more and more that he and she belonged to two worlds, but he was about to leave Castellal, even if he didn't get a publicly-funded place, he could spend his own money to enter a private school to study, and he would definitely leave, so things like secret crush became no longer important, and time would slowly erase the traces left by this "relationship", and I wish her a smooth fame and become a big star......
It's rare to take a taxi to go out, the driver is a taciturn Mexican male, driving is not fast, and safely sent Su Mu to St. Helens Middle School, which is more than ten kilometers away from Chinatown, the school area is not large, and there are only more than 500 students in the school, and it is the test room set up by the SSAT organization in East Los Angeles, they trust the invigilation level of the school teachers, as for those public schools, they obviously can't believe it, it is not that there have been various cheating incidents before, so excellent private schools generally conduct re-examinations before students enroll.
After asking the security guard, Su Mu found his own examination room and sat down, it belonged to the last examination room, it was not full, there were only more than ten candidates in total, and there was no admission ticket number on the other tables.
I only brought a pen with me when I went out today, and the draft was written on the test paper, or I could ask the teacher for the scratch paper, if there was a dispute, I would have to rely on these drafts to decide whether I cheated or not, and I was a little nervous, he was forcing himself to calm down at the moment, and in his heart he regarded this exam as an ordinary temporary test.
A white student sitting in front of him turned his head at this time, looked at Su Mu carefully, and then whispered: "Your grades are great, right? I know that you Chinese have good grades, can you give me the answer to the math test?"
Just when Su Mu was surprised, he continued to hear a voice and said: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, how about five hundred dollars, as long as I do well in the exam, this money is yours." ”
The teacher had already walked into the classroom, and Su Mu replied in a low voice: "Before you got the money, all you said was fart, and you have every reason not to give me the money afterwards."
So, stay to deceive other students, I won't help you, if you dare to turn back or harass me, I will tell the gentleman in the corridor your suggestion, and let the cheating file stay with you for the rest of your life. ”
“…… Take it easy, man, I'm really going to give you money. When the white student spoke, he saw the smiling expression on Su Mu's face, as if he had been seen through, and when he saw Su Mu looking at the gentleman in the corridor, he turned back decisively and stopped bothering him.
Five hundred dollars is already a lot of money, Su Mu has heard of similar encounters before, some compatriots gave answers, but they didn't get paid, and they couldn't reason, otherwise they would be pulled into the water together, which is good, and the even more pitiful guys were directly disqualified from the exam, and some were even expelled from the original school, on the grounds of bad conduct.
The white student sitting in front of him really didn't continue to bother Su Mu, and after the teacher briefly finished talking about the exam rules and discipline requirements, another teacher invigilated the teacher and began to distribute the test papers, twenty-five minutes of composition, thirty minutes of mathematics, thirty minutes of reading, thirty minutes of vocabulary, Thirty-five minutes of mathematics, a total of four hours, except for composition, everything else is multiple-choice, there is a ten-minute break between reading and vocabulary, and a five-minute break between composition and mathematics, which means that after all the exams are completed in the morning, you can go home in the afternoon.
He didn't practice writing, but Su Mu read a lot of books, and the question on the test paper was "All-that-glitters-is-not-gold", which was difficult for him, as long as he wrote, he would get points, but not necessarily high scores.
It took two minutes to organize the language in my mind and revise it, and then I started to write, and if I didn't have a good idea, it would be difficult to impress the school and the examiner.
It is said that there are dreams day and night, when he saw this topic, Su Mu actually thought of the Internet industry, and the topic around it is also in this aspect, which is attractive, but it is very risky, and the advantage is that there are a lot of professional terms, which is enough to reflect the foundation, and it was not until he finished writing that he was worried that the teacher would not understand......
It only took ten minutes to confirm that there were no words and grammatical errors, he closed his eyes and recuperated, and when the invigilator walked past Su Mu, he was surprised by his answering speed, and he didn't look at what the content was, but the font written made him feel comfortable, and he smiled and continued to check the other students.
After a short break of five minutes, when it came to Su Mu's best math problem, he didn't need to make a draft at all, the steps were all in his mind, he easily finished the answer sheet, and waited for the next exam to start again.
Not only the simple questions, but also the problems that were specially designed to surround the students were easily solved by Su Mu, and then there was reading, which was even less difficult......
