Back in Seoul, the days were spent in an uneventful life. For Kim Jong-ming, the filming of this movie will be finished after filming, and Li Tingxiang also called, saying that it would be good to wait for the premiere to appear once, and he would not need to participate in the promotional activities. It made Kim Jong Ming feel as if he really just participated in a summer camp. Therefore, in the past few days, Kim Jong Ming has not done anything serious except for carrying a baseball bat and playing the role of a baseball hero to bully the children around him. Finally, his grandfather, who couldn't stand it, decided to let him apply for junior high school.

Korean junior high and high schools are generally separated, and in the extraordinary enthusiasm of Koreans for education and academic qualifications, even if there is a principle of nearby enrollment and teacher rotation, it is always difficult to apply for a reputable middle school regardless of junior high school. What's more, it's summer vacation, and March is the official school season in South Korea. So, unless you do have two brushes, it's hard to apply to a good middle school right now.

Of course, Kim Jong Ming has two brushes.

One morning in mid-July 1999, Jin Zhongming walked into the junior high school affiliated to Hanyang University in South Korea with his grandfather, who had specially asked for leave to accompany him for an interview.

Hanyang University is located in the southernmost part of Seongdong District, South Korea, and is only a bridge away from the famous Gangnam District, so Hanyang University's affiliated junior high school and high school have become the choice of many wealthy people in Gangnam-gu and officials in Seongdong and Jung-gu in Seoul. And according to Jin Zhongming's grandfather, many nouveau riche and low-level elites will choose to let their children go to private aristocratic schools that have been established under clever names. And many of the real big chaebols and experienced senior central officials usually let their children go to these reputable public schools normally. In South Korea, no one wants to offend the big chaebols and senior government officials, and the South Korean media naturally dare not investigate the children of these high-ranking chaebols and officials, so most of these children can get normal treatment in school and can naturally live a normal life.

Of course, Jin Zhongming's grandfather chose this school not for these reasons, but for some other well-intentioned reasons: First, this school has always had a good reputation. Second, Kim Jong-myeong's grandfather himself lives in Jinho-dong, Seongdong District, and there are only two subway stops from Jinho-dong to this school. Thirdly, when Jin Zhongming's parents who are engaged in business management work come back, it is very likely that they will work in and around Gangnam District, so the place of settlement will not be too far from Gangnam District, so even if there is a principle of nearby enrollment, Jin Zhongming can continue to study in this school that is only separated by a bridge from Gangnam District in the future.

When they arrived at the school, a chubby dean with sweaty heads and gold wire glasses ran out to greet the two with a smile, but this smiling expression was just a professional habit, in fact, this family had already scolded the grandparents and grandchildren who disturbed their vacations. But it was a very friendly college senior who called, and the person who brought his grandson to the interview was also an elderly fourth-level civil servant, so he really couldn't refuse, so he had to ask the teacher to organize a temporary interview.

The interview is carried out quickly, and the admission interview in Korea only examines some basic materials, and the really decisive thing is the test score. Although the other party recognized Jin Zhongming's results, immediately after, one of the teachers with a black frame also expressed their doubts: "Your grades are very good. Also, even though you grew up in Los Angeles, your spoken Korean is surprisingly good. But there are two big problems, number one, you've only been in elementary school for five years in Los Angeles. Second, the final Korean college entrance examination requires Korean Chinese, then English, and finally a second foreign language in addition to English. It's okay to have a second foreign language, because it's a course that only starts after junior high school. But we don't have a clear idea of your language, that is, your ability to write Korean. Therefore, we hope that you will be able to take a comprehensive written test here, including five subjects: Chinese, Mathematics, Social Studies, National History, and Ethics. If you pass all subjects, you can enter in March next year, and if you fail one subject, I recommend that you go to primary school for a year in the sixth grade and then enter junior high school. ”

The test paper was sent down, Jin Zhongming swept the test questions, and then looked up seriously and asked, "Then, teacher, if I can get 90 points in every subject." Can you allow me to transfer directly to my current first year of junior high school as a junior high school student after the summer vacation?"

The black-rimmed teacher was clearly a supporter here, and in the inquiring gaze of the teachers around him, the teacher raised the frame of his eyes and replied, "Of course." After a pause, he added, "But hopefully you'll be able to finish the question in an hour and a half." ”

Twenty minutes, when Jin Zhongming pushed open the door of the conference room with five test papers and announced that he was going to hand in the papers, the adults sitting in the corridor chairs outside the door, chatting were all a little sluggish, and then all kinds of magical expressions unfolded one after another.

Most of the teachers sneered, and only the teachers with black-rimmed glasses were slightly surprised. Grandpa was angry and slightly disappointed. The chubby dean of education was still smiling, but his heart was already happy: "Get out, you bear child, if you come from Los Angeles, you have to go to the junior high school affiliated to Kent Foreign High School honestly, why did you come to our school?

The black-rimmed teacher took a quick step, took the exam paper, and stood at the door of the conference room to read Jin Zhongming's math test paper first, and after carefully reading a few questions, he frowned and glanced at the child in front of him. After reading this test paper repeatedly, he finally put down his hand and sighed, and said with a slight smile: "Your name is Jin Zhongming, right? If I were you, I would sleep in the conference room and then hand in the paper." Later, Director Cui will take you through the admission procedures, and I will report to the first and third classes of the junior high school I teach when the school starts in September, I am your homeroom teacher and the vice principal of this school, my name is Park Zhanghua. ”

The expressions of the people around him magically reversed again, Rao was almost 60 years old, and Jin Zhongming's grandfather couldn't help but change his expression from anger to an extremely satisfied look in three seconds. The surrounding teachers once again returned to the slightly sluggish appearance when Jin Zhongming handed in the paper just now. As for the teaching director surnamed Cui, he still looked smiling, and seemed to have a kind of unchanging cultivation to leave the country, but at this moment, he burst out in his heart again: "It's such a hot day, and you still want me to help with the formalities? Why can't you, a bear child, go to the junior high school affiliated to Kent Foreign High School.

Kim Jong-myeong's family was originally Koreans who had obtained permanent residency in the United States, which is commonly known as dual citizenship, so the enrollment process ended quickly. Of course, the sweaty Director Cui didn't think so.

After solving the problem of enrollment, Kim Jong-ming continued to pick up his beloved baseball bat and began to wander around Seongdong-gu, Jung-gu, and Gangnam-gu. This time, Jin Zhongming's grandfather will no longer care about his nossy affairs, after all, in the eyes of his grandfather, boys must have good academic performance first, and after their academic performance is good, then sports is the second choice.

ps: I'm really curious, how did Gangnam become a forbidden word? The two chapters I prepared in my hand are estimated to have been changed
