Chapter 116: An Unexpected Development
"What's wrong with you?" Sun Guoliang heard that Chen Yuanyuan's voice was a little wrong, put away the smile just now, and asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll go to the toilet first." Chen Yuanyuan laughed dryly at Sun Guoliang twice, and hurriedly went to the bathroom on the second floor.
Sun Guoliang's bookstore has a total of two floors, and when he first started building it, he planned to open a bookstore on the first floor and use the second floor as a living area. However, I didn't expect the business to be so bad, so I removed the books that could not be sold on the first floor, made room for renovation, moved the kitchen and bedroom, and used the remaining places on the second floor as a warehouse, storing some books and miscellaneous items.
As for the bathroom, it's not far from the staircase on the second floor. Chen Yuanyuan didn't mean to go to the toilet at all now, just pretended to press the flush and washed his face in the washbasin.
"Hey, the more I think about it, the more I fork the road! It should have been changed, otherwise it will become dirty. Chen Yuanyuan patted his cheek and thought.
"Well, what is this?" Chen Yuanyuan came out of the bathroom, habitually glanced at the living room on the second floor with his eyes, and found that there were several piles of white rolling paper there.
"It's like it's all English multiple-choice questions." Chen Yuanyuan opened the rope wrapped around it, flipped it over, and muttered to himself.
"Chen Yuanyuan, are you okay? I have something to tell you! Sun Guoliang waited for Chen Yuanyuan for a while, but he didn't see her come down, and shouted downstairs in a little anxious.
"Oh, I'll be down right away." Chen Yuanyuan said as he put the roll paper back in its place, tied it back with a rope, and then ran back downstairs.
"It's almost time to get down to business, sit down." Sun Guoliang told Chen Yuanyuan, took out a notebook from a black briefcase, put on reading glasses, and began to rummage through it.
"Oh, good" Chen Yuanyuan sat upright, waiting for the 'big guy' to speak.
"It's not so simple to go abroad, not only do you have enough grades, but you also have to know how to be flexible on the spot. You know what? Turned to a page, looked twice, moved his glasses under the bridge of his nose, looked down at Chen Yuanyuan and said.
"Yes" Chen Yuanyuan nodded in agreement as if she was a good baby, she didn't know what kind of 'flexibility' Sun Guoliang was talking about, but she knew that it was right to listen at this time.
"They only promised to write a letter of recommendation once, I estimate that you are still young, take the test once to familiarize yourself, and then use the letter of recommendation when you take the test again next year, and the success rate of admission will be greater." Sun Guohao seemed to have seen some unhappy record, frowned, thought for a while, and said to Chen Yuanyuan.
"Good" Chen Yuanyuan also felt that it was not so simple to go abroad, and he would take the test twice without any big loss.
"Well, then let's talk about these first, I also brought back a lot of SAT past exam questions for you, you can bring some back when you have time, do it well, and get familiar with it." Sun Guoliang put down his notebook and glasses as he spoke, rubbed the corners of his eyes and said.
"Got it" Chen Yuanyuan thought about the rolling paper he saw upstairs just now, and sighed, "It's really a lot!" She sighed in her heart.
"By the way, I almost forgot, there is still training for the SAT exam, are you going to go?" Sun Guoliang patted his head at this time, remembered a more important matter, and asked Chen Yuanyuan.
"Is it in this city?" Chen Yuanyuan touched his smooth chin a little, raised his eyebrows and asked.
"It doesn't seem to be." Sun Guoliang picked up the note just now, flipped it up and said.
"Forget it, it's so troublesome" Chen Yuanyuan finally couldn't sit still, and began to stretch his waist on the sofa.
"It's okay not to go, but you have to study hard in school, otherwise I won't be able to spare you if your grades are poor." As Sun Guoliang spoke, he remembered the bet he had made with his friends, and glared at Chen Yuanyuan, who was a little careless, very seriously.
"Well, I want to ask, which American university do you want me to go to? So that I have a little bottom in my heart. Chen Yuanyuan listened to what he said, as if she had thrown herself into some kind of comparison whirlpool, which made her ask in some consternation.
"Haval, which one else can it be, of course you have to take the best test, otherwise I will be embarrassed to tell others that it is my disciple." Sun Guoliang looked at Chen Yuanyuan, whose face was full of incredulity, and felt that his choice was very normal.
"Can I change schools?" Chen Yuanyuan glanced at Sun Guoliang cautiously and asked tentatively.
"No, I've already signed up with someone else." Sun Guoliang was asked by Chen Yuanyuan, and his reaction was a little big, as if he had stepped on his tail, his face was flushed, and he scolded Chen Yuanyuan.
"Wocao, what's going on! I just want to take a walk abroad and come back! Why did things go bad after you went out this time?! Chen Yuanyuan covered his face and thought, "Could it be that you are going to have trouble with Sun Guoliang?" Hey, it seems that he can't help himself a lot after all. ”
"Okay, okay, can't I go to the test!" Chen Yuanyuan looked at Sun Guoliang, who was scratching his ears and cheeks, and agreed helplessly.
Sun Guoliang was relieved to hear that Chen Yuanyuan agreed here, this time he went to visit his old friends, and was stimulated by them to arouse his competitiveness, and then he fell into their trap in a daze and made a bet. The stakes are not big, just a symbolic take-out of something, the main thing is that he doesn't want to lose face at this time. Chen Yuanyuan also told him that he didn't want to go to a particularly good university in a foreign country, he just wanted to live a mixed life, but things were already like this, he could only persuade Chen Yuanyuan to help him with this.
After the two of them chatted about the details for a while, Chen Yuanyuan left here.
"Alas" she sat on the bus, and she didn't know how many times she sighed, she always felt that she shouldn't have those utilitarian intentions in the first place, let alone think about how to be lazy about everything. You don't need special exercises for the SAT test, you don't need other people's letters of recommendation, and you don't need to think about how much you can get into the test. As long as you study hard to take the test, you can get into what kind of exam, and in the end, you don't get in? It's the same for going to university in China, and I should have such thoughts, "I'm still greedy!" ”
"But think about it from another angle, are you too salty?! When you do things, you should go all out to make some achievements, otherwise you will always pretend to be ordinary, and maybe you will be really ordinary in the future. Chen Yuanyuan returned home, lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling and thought. Alas, you shouldn't blame others, 'there are ten things that are unsatisfactory in life', and without accidents, you can't grow. ”
Chen Yuanyuan thought about it, he still had to work hard, plan his future goals well, and help Sun Guoliang with this favor.
