Chapter 50: From the meeting room to the bedroom
But for William, being admitted to Harvard meant something different—he became the first person in the history of his poor family to get into college, and he also managed to win the top Ivy League school.
Ironically, his parents didn't care if he got into Harvard, they always said that getting into any college made no difference to them, and that getting a job early and sharing the burden of the family was much more affordable than going to college......
These words disgusted William.
Perhaps, the only thing that could bring his parents a sigh of relief was that he applied for a grant from Harvard, and he was confident that Harvard would recognize his worth and give him a sizable amount of money.
Just like the four years of high school that are about to pass, although William cannot provide any financial security to the family for the time being, at least he will not add any dime to the burden of this stormy family.
Only William clearly knows in his heart the significance of being admitted to Harvard!
It means getting on a rocket that leads to success, not a train, a ship, or anything else. One day, his parents will understand how stupid they used to belittle and complain about him.
In the near future, the fate of William and his entire family will be turned upside down because of his admission to Harvard, and he will have an infinite future with the ladder of Ivy League schools and the connections he has established here.
The cold sweat in William's palm did not subside for a long time, and every blood vessel in his head was still trembling from congestion. His eyes were fixed on the dark red shield-like emblem of Harvard University on the page, and the three open books, the Latin words on which they were combined were "truth."
It is the world's most famous university, the dream of students, and the campus is also home to an Ivy League-strewn Georgian building, where it is said that he could "know God" and where he would spend another four important years of his life and start his brilliant future.
Faced with this fact, he kept hypnotizing himself in his mind: just now, I was not nervous at all in class, and such a result was in line with my psychological expectations.
Yes, there are not many people in the United States who are as comprehensive and invincible as William Green, and he is exactly the kind of student that Harvard is looking for—one in a million outstanding talents.
William was so immersed in smug imagination that he had no idea when Mr. Lucaon had quietly placed the paper of the last quiz on the table in front of him. His smiling gaze fell on the test paper, and as expected, it was another high score of 92 points.
This score quickly became a mosaic in William's eyes, blurred, and the longing in his mind instantly became digitized:
As soon as I graduate from Harvard University, I will naturally have a job with a starting salary of more than $150,000, and as my talents in all aspects are discovered and recognized in a short period of time, the annual salary will soon exceed 500,000 yuan......
Next, whether it is to continue further study or to rise all the way in a certain position, it is just a different choice to attack and retreat, no matter what, life will eventually sail and impact in the direction of the peak.
No, no, it's much more than that, just look at the past student council presidents who went out of this famous private preparatory school and entered the Ivy League school, they are either prominent politicians who can change the fate of the country and the world pattern, or they are rich businessmen, even those scholars who choose to engage in academic research have eventually become world-renowned figures in a certain field.
All of this can be replicated, which means that he will inevitably become one of them in the future, a proud alumnus of School A, and a bright new star who will attract the attention of the whole United States and the world.
All his ambitions seemed to have become readily available because of this letter of acceptance. To the world, one second, he was a nobody, and the next, he has become important.
Listening to Mr. Lucaon's summary of the lesson, William felt that his broad, muscular chest was too narrow for a throbbing ambition to accommodate his lofty ambitions.
He had never been so eager to get out of class as he was today, he couldn't wait any longer, he wanted to tell the good news to all the teachers who were optimistic about his future, all the classmates who admired him and supported him, and let them know that he William was destined to be a great man who could change the world and make history.
After ballet teacher Natalie left, Bai Xinrui put a leg in white stockings on the bar, leaned over to untie the wide pink ribbon tied to her ankle, and carefully took her wooden foot out of her hard pointe shoes.
This practice room is in an inconspicuous position on the second floor of the Grand Theater, and the wooden rods are still in the old style of being directly embedded in the wall, although people still come to clean and scrub them every day, and the mirror has long since become dull because of age.
Today, both dance club training and one-on-one ballet lessons take place in the newly renovated practice room of the Arts Center Building, which has long been abandoned for many years.
Since Kim Sun-young, a Korean girl who won the International Dance Award, entered the school last year, she has to spend a lot of time practicing every day, and this old practice room has only been reopened, and since then, it has almost become her personal exclusivity. Bai Xinrui also borrowed the key from her and came to rehearse a pas de deux that was about to participate in the performance.
Looking at Amy, who was grinning and her expression was constantly changing in the big mirror, Bai Xinrui couldn't help but feel funny, at this moment, she was sitting on the smooth and clean floor, rubbing her feet that were tortured in pointe shoes in distress.
"Oops, both legs are going to be wasted, and the blisters on the toes may never get better!" Amy's shrill voice kept complaining, "The day after tomorrow, it's just a school performance, and the two of us are too hard!" ”
"You're willing to stand behind others forever as a backup dancer, I don't want to!" Bai Xinrui said, her slender and slender legs drew a beautiful arc in the air, her feet in snow-white ballet stockings and pantyhose landed softly from the handlebar, her stiff toes naughtily hooked twice on the floor, she didn't seem to care about the faint blood marks that were oozing from the toes of the white socks.
In the mirror, her hair is pulled up high, coiled into a cute little ball on the top of her head, her clean and clear slap face can be seen at a glance, her pointed chin, her slightly upturned nose, and her facial features are impeccable and arrogant.
Especially the big flickering eyes, the two black eyes that flow like black mercury, and the white of the eyes are slightly blue, which is clear and pure only in babies, and the two soft lips are so beautiful that they are suffocating even without any modification, showing off the bright brilliance of a girl.
After a series of dancing and continuous rotation, fine beads of sweat poured out on her delicate collarbones, which were crystal clear in the sun, and a few strands of broken hair fell from the back of her neck, and the floating hair lined the back of her neck with slender and white skin, and the lines were soft.
"Aren't you coveting the opportunity to perform at the Kennedy Center in Washington next spring? You don't know how harsh Natalie picks people! ”
Amy was in for a lawsuit when she mentioned the vicious witch who had just walked out of the door, and the school's dance teacher, when she was younger, was a principal dancer of the Royal Ballet, with a thin, pointed face that never smiled, and was known for her devil's training.
"No matter how harsh that position is, it is impossible to wait for it, why don't I fight for it?" A smile crossed the corner of Bai Xinrui's mouth.
"Anyway, you don't have to worry, Natalie often compliments you on the flexibility of your body like a rubber band." Amy was talking to herself, and then looked at Bai Xinrui's slender figure that had not yet been fully developed.
She looked up at the ceiling and sighed, "Your body is simply made for dance, no wonder Natalie desperately urged me to lose weight as soon as she saw me, and I didn't have much hope for being selected anyway." ”
"You're not too fat, you're the weight loss maniac who wants every girl in our dance club to be thin like a lightning bolt." Bai Xinrui glanced at Amy's slender figure with her eyes, and shrugged her shoulders, the steep curves of some parts of Amy's body made her feel a little unhappy.
"Hey! You see, isn't that Kevin? Amy suddenly jumped from the ground and, as if forgetting the pain on her body all of a sudden, pointed in the direction of the door of the practice room, and shouted, "Does he know that you came here to rehearse today and came to pick you up?" ”
Bai Xinrui was packing up her things without even raising her head.
At noon, Kevin had just asked her for leave, saying that he would go to the family cemetery with Quentin to pay respects to his grandfather, Sir Rothschild Sr., after class in the afternoon, how could he appear here at this time, it must be that Amy was so tired that she was hallucinating.
After thinking about it, no, if it was a hallucination, she couldn't have such a big reaction, besides, they eat and play in one place every day, and Amy's eyes are so sharp, how could she be wrong.
She glanced at the mobile phone on the ground, at this time, the other students should still be in the last class of the day, there are not many people on the second floor of the theater on weekdays, people like them who use X block to practice dance here are really rare, so who will be the person Amy sees?
Bai Xinrui raised her head, and through the glass door embedded with copper strips, she saw a figure running towards the end of the corridor, the figure was surprisingly tall and strong, wearing a crimson rugby winter jersey jacket, not Kevin!
Could it be that Kevin came here to surprise himself?
