The next morning, before Liu Tao got up, his mobile phone rang.

The call was made by Zhang Liang.

He asked Liu Tao to clean up, and they would come to pick him up at the gate of the community in a while. Liu Tao agreed and hung up the phone.

"Mom and Dad, I forgot to tell you last night. I've taken a long leave from school. Liu Tao got up and cleaned up, and then came to the living room and said to his parents who were eating breakfast.

"Take a long vacation? Why? Liu Guangming asked.

"I don't have much to do at school now, so I might as well take advantage of this time to go around. In addition, I still have to study with Lin Lao, and I don't have much time when I am in school all day. Liu Tao gave his reasons.

"You're not allowed to prepare for college?" Liu Guangming then asked. He didn't graduate from elementary school himself, and Ai Mei also graduated from high school, so he especially hoped that Liu Tao could be admitted to university, which could be regarded as a dream of his fulfillment.

"Test! University is a sure must! Besides, there is an even more important reason. I won the first prize in the province in the biology competition and has been sent to the School of Life Sciences of Dongshan University. However, I didn't plan to study, I wanted to take the college entrance examination and choose a major I liked. Liu Tao said it without thinking.

"What? You repeat? Liu Guangming and his wife asked almost in unison.

"I've been escorted to Dongshan University, but I don't plan to go there." Liu Tao repeated briefly.

"Son, you're not lying to us, are you? Were you really escorted to Higashiyama University? Aimei confirmed again.

"Really. Didn't Teacher Fan tell you last night? This time, Liu Tao was stunned for a moment.

"Nope. I said that Mr. Fan's face was wrong last night, as if he was hiding something. After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be this thing. It seems that she wants you to talk about it yourself, so that we can also be happy. Ai Mei said.

"That's what it is, anyway. Sue you, lest you be worried. Liu Tao said.

"Son, Dongshan University is a good school, and it is quite famous in the country. Why don't you go on it? Liu Guangming asked beside him. Originally, he always thought that his son was at best the last three books, otherwise he wouldn't have worked so hard to save money. But now, his worries are unnecessary. For a first-class institution like Higashiyama University. Liu Tao didn't even want to go to it, which really made him incomprehensible.

"The University of Tokyo is indeed a good school. I don't like to study biology though. I want to take a specific major. Liu Tao said.

"Are you sure about taking other majors?" Liu Guangming then asked. It's not that he doesn't know the level of the students in the fourth middle school, and he can't get out of a few Tokyo universities in a year. Even if Liu Tao's academic performance has improved a lot compared to before, it is still unknown to be admitted to the University of Tokyo. What's more, even if you are admitted, you may not be able to choose your favorite major. Rather than this, it is better to choose the escort directly.

"Yes. If I wasn't sure, I'd have chosen to be escorted. Mom and Dad. You'll just believe me once, okay? Liu Tao looked at them and said very sincerely.

Liu Guangming and his wife glanced at each other, and finally nodded. Now their sons have become more than they could have imagined, and as parents, their only option is support.

"Okay, Mom and Dad, I still have to go to the island city today to do some errands, so let's go first. You two eat slowly. As soon as Liu Tao finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door.

"Slow down." Ai Mei couldn't help but admonish.

Liu Tao nodded and left the house without looking back.

"Lao Liu. My son is really getting more and more incomprehensible. Ai Mei waited until the door closed, and couldn't help but sigh.

"He's eighteen years old, and it's normal for him to have his own ideas. We live in the city of Binjiang all day long, and a lot of our thinking has been fixed. He's not like us, and he still has a long way to go. Liu Guangming said slowly. Having such a son is really a face-saving thing!

Aimei nodded after listening to his words. The two continued to eat.

At this time, Liu Tao was already standing at the gate of the community waiting for Zhang Liang to show them.

After a while, a business van came up to him. The window was pulled down, and Zhang Liang showed his head and beckoned to Liu Tao: "Boss, come up." ”

Then the car door opened, and Liu Tao got into the car.

At this time, Liu Tao found that there were already several people sitting on it. Except for Zhan Wentao, Yu Qian, Song Siming and Lin Wei, who met yesterday. There was also one more strange woman.

This woman looked to be about thirty years old. It looks very beautiful and has a unique taste.

"Liu Tao, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Chen Li, Mr. Chen, who is not in the jewelry business. She is a wedding celebration and is interested in jewelry. Zhan Wentao made an introduction.

"Hello Mr. Chen." Liu Tao said hello.

"Just now, Mr. Lin said that you are very young, I didn't believe it, but now when I see it, you are really young enough. I can't imagine that Brother Liu can bet on a rare jade like the Smurfs at such a young age, which is really enviable. Chen Li said with a smile. Her voice sounds a bit thin and gives it a very soft feel.

"I relied on pure luck." Liu Tao said embarrassedly.

"Don't be so modest. Excessive modesty is pride. Chen Li looked each other up and down. Laughed.

Since the other party said so, Liu Tao didn't want to say anything at the moment, just smiled awkwardly.

For a moment, there was silence in the car.

"President Zhan, are we the only ones who are going to the jewelry conference this time?" Liu Tao couldn't help but ask. As far as he knew, there were twenty members of the Jade Guild, and those people were not interested in the jewelry conference.

Zhan Wentao shook his head and said, "No. There were two cars going to the jewelry fair this time, and one car was already one step ahead of us. ”

"I see." Liu Tao nodded.

Since Binjiang City is not too far from the island city, it is an hour's journey by expressway. So, it didn't take long for them to show up where the jewelry convention was located.

The scale of this jewelry conference is not too large, there are three floors in total. The first layer is where some merchants set up stalls to sell all kinds of jewelry, the second layer is mainly relatively large carved crafts, and the third layer is the gem raw material area, which is basically semi-finished or wool.

For Zhan Wentao and them, the first layer is obviously not the purpose of their trip. After all, they are all in this business, and there are such finished jewelry in the store, and they mainly come here for the third floor. (To be continued.) )
