Chapter Twenty-Three: Call Me First
Ye Wei, it's Ye Wei again!
This sentence has long been a nightmare for the teachers of Harvard-Westlake Middle School, once anyone says so, there will be no good life, and now, this sentence is sounding again!
And this time he wasn't playing any pranks, not asking the cafeteria to add a cooking master, or to make the school grow more holly trees...... But......
"What!?Is he crazy!?" After the old principal Tom Hednut heard this, he almost sat on the ground, shocked, anxious and angry, Ye Wei started crowdfunding to start a business in junior high school, and hundreds of students have joined!?
Again...... What's the matter?
Jenny Highbrecht, the principal of the junior high school who reported the situation, was also full of helplessness, maybe they are really old and can't keep up with the rhythm of young people.
Teacher Grace Aisi is the first to appear, this crowdfunding has actually started for several days, Teacher Aisi said that Ye Wei has prepared the investment contract, and he will separate the copies of the contract today, she persuaded the group of students to think twice, but their affection is very high, they can't listen to anything, only listen to Ye Wei's words. ”
"How did this happen?" Hednat was so excited that his face turned red and his lips trembled, "Call Ye Wei over immediately...... Call him over right now!Oh my God!!"
While the principal's office was in chaos, the news spread quickly in the junior high school.
It is also because Ye Wei told his brothers that there is no need to hide it anymore, and at this stage of signing the contract, it will inevitably leak the news because of the parents, so show it generously!
In less than one morning, the whole campus was a sensation, in classrooms, in the cafeteria, in the library, in the concert hall, in the theater, in the stadium...... It's been talked about everywhere!
"Crowdfunding 5o million!dollars!?"
"Wow...... I knew VIy was going to turn it around, he's such a person!"
"Some people may disagree when I say this, but Ye Wei is really cool this time!"
"Of course I don't agree, cool? What are you talking about, this is a genius! Oh my God, no, I'm going to the Dream Chasing Alliance, I'm going to join ......"
"Hurry up, if VIy raises enough 5o yuan in the evening, we won't be able to get in if we want to. ”
The members of the entrepreneurship club are crying like little babies, they are not those children who have not seen the world in public schools, and they have always participated in simulated entrepreneurship and real entrepreneurship guided by the school, such as doing a simulated product sales, or getting a soda truck ice cream truck or something, and some of them can make a small amount of money.
But it's more fun than studying, and the main purpose is to add color to your resume, so that you will have an advantage when applying to Ivy League universities in the future......
Some things are afraid of comparison, compared with Ye Wei's crowdfunding of hundreds of thousands, they have all become children playing in the sand pool in the park, contentedly piling up their own castles, but when they turned their heads, they built real houses.
On the side of the film production club, the faces of the members are not much better, they also do crowdfunding, but they only raise 12,000 and shoot a few minutes of short films...... What does Ye Wei want to do? Crowdfund 5o million? Invite Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet to come and star?!
People were shocked, people's eyes were hot...... There are more than 6o student clubs in the junior high school, no one dares to do this, and no one can do this......! Except for the Dream Chaser Alliance.
"Lily, have you heard?"
After an art class, it was already noon, and Lily was walking on the way to the cafeteria, and before she left the academic center, Trist rushed over, "About Ye Wei." ”
Hearing this name, Lily's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, and her tone was also very stiff: "What, that bastard...... What's wrong with that?"
Her mind was even more of a mess, she and he had a good hang out on Tuesday afternoon, and they had a good time, and they were like friends. Then, since he went home at dusk that day, until almost two days now, Ye Wei has not contacted her again, as if he had disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
She really didn't know what she was crazy about, so she took out her phone from time to time to look at it in the past two days, as if she was looking forward to something...... For example, a missed call, a text message, ......
But...... What is this? That's it? Is it really just a hang out? Or is there something he actually resents? But he's obviously happy, and he feels like he wants to continue......
Then why did he do it again? What did he want? Do you want to go on a second date, no, hang out...... Is there a friendship like this? Obviously we live close to each other, and we obviously have a phone! Do you want her to take the initiative to ask him out? Take the initiative to text "Hey, Wei, I'm crazy, I'm thinking about you"?
She really couldn't understand what Ye Wei was thinking, and she couldn't understand what she was thinking, why she was thinking about this, why did she care about this? Hell, everyone was just friends who had just met, and it was normal to not have frequent contact! Don't think about it, they all said don't think about it, he's just a bastard, didn't he already know......
These contradictory never-before-seen thoughts drove Lily crazy, like having several of herself, one telling her to do this, and the other telling her to do that.
Now as soon as she heard Ye Wei's name, Lily's heart felt like it was being clenched, and she couldn't breathe, so it beat violently.
"He's made a big deal again!" Trist said what she had heard, she didn't know about the changes in the relationship between Lily and Ye Wei, and she only thought that the two of them would meet and hand over the doll about Tuesday, and they were still stuck in the previous impression that they were incompatible.
Lily widened her eyebrows when she heard this, as if she heard Ye Wei's laughter, "I've told you early", crowdfunding 5o million movies!
"The latest news is that he was called by Principal Hednart, and I don't know if he can continue. Trist's tone was full of curiosity and anticipation.
"He will. Lily blurted out, her heart full of that confident face, those firm words, and she laughed and said, "He will, that's VIy!"
The administrative office building, the spacious principal's office, was filled with faculty and staff at this time.
The judges included the principal of the whole school and the principal of the middle school, and the jury consisted of Ye Wei's teacher Grace Essie, the two principals in charge, Colby Plath and Eric King, the second team coach of the second team, Matteo Kerioni, the math teacher, Karen Salerno, the psychiatrist, Susan Ke, and Joe Schenk, the art teacher and mentor of the Dream League club......
With a strong lineup, almost all the instructors who are responsible for Ye Wei are here.
"Wow!" As soon as Ye Weigang walked into the office, he couldn't help but be surprised by the formation here, and laughed: "Is there an old stubborn (o1d-schoo1) faction going on here?"
He was still joking! All the teachers suddenly felt a little confused, how could they educate this demon student well?
"I like it, it's fun......"
"Weige, be serious!" the old headmaster asked, with a straight face, without any jokes, "What's the matter with your crowdfunding?" ”
"Ok, our goal is to raise 5o yuan, and then, buy a good movie script first......"
Ye Wei sat down in the middle chair prepared for him, and said briefly, without emphasizing that 5o Wanquan was ready to buy the script, "Isn't it good not to violate the law, not to violate morality, not to violate our code of honor, so as to create academic achievements?"
Everyone looked at each other, very helpless, VIy's usual style came, you said that he did not do it right, but he retorted that you encouraged him to do it......
The old headmaster also felt that he had already fallen into the trap, sighed, and said, "This kind of achievement is too early for you, you can choose the school's activities and projects first." ”
"Sir, I really can't agree with you, at what age did Shirley Temple win her first Oscar? 7? Why don't we call her?"
Everyone was even more speechless by Ye Wei's argument, Temple is an alumnus of Westlake School, and after the merger of the two schools, she will be an alumnus of Harvard-Westlake.
"'They can because they think they can. Ye Wei moved out of the school motto, and his voice became heavier: "I know that our dreams are not easy to succeed, but we can't give up because of this, it's impossible." ”
He said politely: "Actually, I think you can help explain to parents that in addition to the possibility of losing one or two thousand yuan, this project is only beneficial! If you want a beautiful resume, just do it, look at the whole United States, how many middle school students can do what we are doing so far? Regardless of success or failure, we are all excellent dreamers." ”
When he said that, the principal's office was silent, and the teachers had already prepared that he would refute, but they didn't expect him to be speechless......
A serious VIy is 100 million times more difficult than a nonsensical VIy.
"You have a point, but you also have to understand that $5o is not a small amount of money! The old headmaster looked stern, as if to say, "I can't watch you losers. ”
"This is not a game!" Ye Wei was a little excited, thinking about everyone's enthusiasm, "We will joke that it is a game, but what is it really? Youth, dreams!"
The old headmaster nodded slightly, "I know that some students have been very unfriendly to you recently, and we will criticize and punish those troublemakers to eliminate peer pressure, and the school has indeed not done a good enough job in this regard." If you have any pressure, you can talk to us or join the Peer Support Club......"
"Please!" Ye Wei had to interrupt rudely, really crying and laughing, companion support? A group of nerds sat in a circle, and then everyone said "I'm depressed because I'm not popular", "I'm not popular because I'm stupid", "It's okay, we're all like that...... What the hell!
What he's doing now is to get those nerds out!
"Headmaster, I think the worst thing you've done is that you don't really understand us. Dr. Ke, you are a psychiatrist, you should understand how much students want to break their shackles and express themselves!
Don't punish anyone, I don't need to, students have a way of solving it, and you guys will only put me and my friends in a more awkward position.
I know your kindness, but Dream Catcher Films will definitely start, and our project will continue to work hard, this is my declaration of 100% seriousness. ”
The instructors were in mixed moods, but today's VIy seemed to be a little different, his seriousness, Susan Ke could see it, Teacher Essie could see it, and so did the others.
Among them, Coach Kerioni is most familiar with Ye Wei, who loves this kind of serious and cold eyes and expression, which means that VIy is angry and the opponent is going to be unlucky.
"Hmm!" the old headmaster had a headache, after being a headmaster for so many years and teaching so many students, it was rare to have such a headache as now.
The words of the school motto are not exhaustive, at least there is one sentence: "They are over 2o years old!" "15-year-old film producer? This must be a joke! It's just that if Ye Wei has to insist, the school really can't force him to give up."
At this time, Teacher Aisi frowned and said: "Weige, your academic performance has always been very dangerous, you haven't done your homework recently, and the football team has been frequently absent, and now you have to work on a film project, are you sure you can take care of it?"
"Yes, your studies are a big problem. The old headmaster nodded hurriedly, and the math teacher Salerno agreed: "You almost failed the last test. ”
"Huh. Ye Wei smiled mysteriously and looked around at everyone, "Maybe it's time to show you the truth, I'm a genius." ”
"I don't do homework because I don't need to do it, and it's just a waste of time to do it, and I get a C because I want to be a cool kid, not a teacher pet, and if I want to, I can even finish all the academic classes in grades 9-12 early, don't you believe it?"
Of course, no one believed it, and it was not the first time Ye Wei had said this kind of thing, they were purely bragging about him and not writing a draft.
However, Ye Wei insisted that several teachers test him, so he regarded it as a real thing.
"Then, the sum of all the real roots of x-5│x│+4=o is ......"
"Mr. Salerno, do you think I am a fool? Even if I am a fool, I am the kind of rain man, the answer is o. ”
Seeing Ye Wei's answer so crisply, Teacher Salerno was really a little surprised, the Asian children's mathematical talent exploded?
However, there were several questions in a row, and Ye Wei couldn't test him at all if he couldn't answer them immediately, or if he didn't calculate them on paper and get the correct answers!
Then, Teacher Ai Xi, who teaches English, also came up with a few questions, Ye Wei also answered them, there are no teachers from other disciplines here, but Ye Wei talked about some knowledge of biology and history by himself, if he used to be half a bucket of water, then now it is all 7\/1o buckets, everyone is stunned!
"There is also language, the requirement for this subject is at least one language level 3, right, I took Chinese, listen." ”
Ye Wei switched to Chinese mode and said in fluent Mandarin Chinese: "Hello everyone, do you understand? Dr. Ke? Dean Kim? Oh, Dean Kim, you are Korean, Mian Hamida." I grew up Chinese elementary school, taught by my grandfather and taught by my parents...... Do you know what to say, it's a piece of cake, it's easy!"
He made a flipping palm motion and repeated what he had just said in English.
Everyone was tightened in the chest, Teacher Ai Xi knew that he was telling the truth, Ye's mother is a bachelor's degree in the Department of East Asian Languages of ucsF, under her education, Ye Wei is not only proficient in Chinese, but also knows a little Korean and Japanese, Rao is so, but he ignores French, Spanish, etc., which he does not understand, and elects the Chinese he is proficient in, and only takes a C, which shows how lazy he is in learning......
After a while, the old principal made a decision, Ye Wei's genius display was over, and his parents joined the meeting by phone.
Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao were also shocked, they really raised a genius son, but the two knew better than the teachers that their son had indeed changed a lot, Gu Qiao thought, maybe they should really let go and let their son break through...... And Ye Haogen still has to support!
He didn't know how big his son wanted to go, and thought that 5o million was the total cost, so he applauded: "As long as you do it legitimately, there is no problem." He also reassured the teachers: "Wei's plan is amazing, isn't it just a show of courage, creative strength and ability? I think we need to support it." ”
The old principal and others look at me, I look at you, the contradiction is extreme, they should be encouraged, but they must take into account the reality......
After continuing to discuss for a long time, everyone reached an agreement, and the school made a big concession and Ye Wei's personal education plan changed greatly!
The film project can be carried out, but it must be supervised and tutored by the school, and no one wants to suddenly make any news about the "SFC arresting Harvard-Westlake juvenile financial criminals".
In terms of Ye Wei's academics, if he can really complete the academic responsibilities of this grade ahead of schedule, he can choose to skip a grade or choose to keep the status quo, but his homework will be appropriately reduced to a minimum, and he will also have more x time to spend on extracurricular activities.
In fact, this is not a special treatment, every student can do this, so smart students tend to have more time to participate in various activities, and in the high school, there are more rich advanced activities, such as overseas exchange students, mountain village experience, hiking adventure, etc.
But he had to be a real genius, and once his academic grades weren't enough to support this mode of teaching, his time had to be rescheduled.
As for his idea, which scared Coach Kerioni half to death, "If time is too tight, I will quit the football team and only complete the minimum requirements of the physical education department." "It was strongly vetoed, and the vetoers were Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao, a teenager under the age of 16, who was in the stage of parenting, and nothing could be a reason to delay the movement! No!
Ye Wei thought about it, he didn't want to be disabled, in order to continue to be woken up by himself every day, he dispelled this idea, let's arrange the time well.
He couldn't wait to prove that he was okay with his studies, so that the dust would settle early, so on this afternoon, the school arranged several exams for him.
"Hell...... Hell!"
Soon, the old principal looked at the exam papers with A's grades, and his face was full of disbelief, how could such a thing happen, how could there be such a student!
I don't like A+, no one is perfect. ”
Looking at Ye Wei, who was as arrogant as ever, Principal Highbrecht, Teacher Aisi, and Teacher Salerno...... Everyone couldn't believe it, but they had to believe it, because the facts were in front of them, and the bad boy VIy used practical actions to prove that he had no pressure on his studies, and with his academic level, he could go to grade 1o or even higher......
Before the end of school, an update spread all over the school: Ye Wei's crowdfunding production action has been approved by the school!
The big victory of the Dream Chaser Alliance! All the Dream Chaser students are boiling!
They're boiling because the future is full of hope, because they're doing the coolest thing, because of that group text message from VIy:
"Never let anyone or anything stop you from chasing your dreams, never!"
