Chapter 7 Shopping and Presentations
Tang Yueyue drove Chen Xi directly from Yining City to Changyun City, the capital city of Gyeongnam Province.
Chen Xi felt a little uncomfortable when he got out of the car, and the feeling of riding the car driven by Tang Yueyue was like riding a roller coaster, thrilling.
In the downtown area where the speed limit is 40 km/h, she exceeds the speed limit of more than 100 km/h. Along the way, he walked through the traffic like a fish, and felt that he was about to crash into someone else's car many times, and Chen Xi was frightened when he saw it. There was a driver in the back who scolded, the scolding was quite ugly, and the little royal sister stretched her hand out of the window and gave her middle finger domineeringly.
She wasn't willing to slow down much even when it came to corners, and she showed off a wave of drifting skills on a stretch of winding road.
This car is also a black technology, it is obviously a military off-road vehicle with a high chassis, and it can actually play drifting.
Under normal circumstances, due to the high center of gravity of off-road vehicles, trucks and other vehicles, it is easy to cause overturning in the state of extreme control, so for safety reasons, the fierce action of drifting is still more suitable for cars or sports cars with a low center of gravity. Moreover, it requires a high-horsepower engine, a gearbox that can withstand instantaneous large torque, and then after a series of modifications, such as the addition of LSD slip limiters, a set of first-class suspension systems, and strengthened body rigidity and braking ability.
Those on the highway with a speed limit of 120 km/h, she still drove over the speed limit. On the way, a police car shouted for them to stop for inspection, and the sound of the police car's horn sounded behind them. However, it is difficult for him to put himself in the role of a fugitive, but he has a better sense of substitution as a kidnapped hostage, and he feels that in this case, it is necessary for him to persuade the female demon next to him to turn himself in, and strive for lenient treatment or reduced punishment.
"There's a police car following us behind," Mr. Chen said in a tone that persuaded the criminals to surrender.
"It's okay," the little royal sister replied very calmly.
Is it okay to drive over the speed limit?
"Wait, you won't have a driver's license, right?" Oh, if your father let you drive, he would naturally help you get a driver's license, right?" Chen Xi thought of the background of Tang Yueyue's family, and someone should be willing to do it for such a trivial matter as getting a driver's license for minors.
"I'm not under eighteen years old, of course I don't have a driver's license," Tang Yueyue glanced at Chen Xi like an idiot.
Driving without a license and speeding may also add a charge of resisting arrest.
However, after a while, the police car stopped by itself, and there was no card at the toll booth to intercept them, and they arrived at their destination safely.
After arriving in Changyun City, Tang Yueyue decided to deal with Chen Xi's messy hair first, and they went to a barber shop called Martin in Edinburgh, which was richly decorated and served great coffee.
Tang Yueyue showed her VIP card, and a white stylist with a Scottish accent helped Chen Xi style her hairstyle, of course, Chen Xi's mute English was incomprehensible, and Tang Yueyue was communicating with the Scotsman throughout the whole process.
After coming out of the barbershop, they drove to the mall. The specific process is like this: Tang Yueyue picks out clothes, then Chen Xi tries them on, and Tang Yueyue looks at them. If you are not satisfied, try again with a different set. Satisfied, swipe card to checkout, next.
Shopping with girls to buy clothes is really an ordeal, and Chen Xi feels physically and mentally exhausted. In the evening, when Chen Xi returned to the rental house with a large bag, he found his mother giggling. When I asked, I found out that the school leaders had come to the house in the afternoon.
Chen's mother has never been so beautiful in her life, and she thinks that Chen Xi's father drove a white broken van and married her home.
Today, those school leaders came to congratulate her in person, saying that her son has gone to a great university, which is even more powerful than Tsinghua University and Peking University, and his future is limitless.
It is even more powerful than Tsinghua University and Peking University, and Chen's mother was directly confused, is there a university that is more powerful than Tsinghua University and Peking University? She used to think that Tsinghua University and Peking University were the best universities in the world. In the past, on the first day of Chen Xi going to school with her schoolbag, she also imagined that her son would be admitted to a powerful school like Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future.
But in fact, the best high school in their hometown county has not had a student from Tsinghua University and Peking University for seven years. On weekdays, the children of any family who are good at reading are described as seedlings who can go to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Now, her kid went to a better university than Qingbei?
Every accompanying parent in this accompanying alley looked at her, and those who were originally familiar or unfamiliar came to congratulate her. Even the snarky charter lady before wanted her to congratulate her with a smile on her face, and she wanted to exempt her from rent.
Chen Xi's mother has never been far away, and she can't speak Mandarin well, for the first time in her life, she has the feeling that she is standing in the center of the world, just like a dream, it can't really be a dream, right? She pinched her leg, it hurt.
The next day, Chen Xi's father also came, and at noon he feasted the leaders of those schools in the restaurant. The school leaders also toasted him with face, and Chen Xi's father did not refuse. Chen Xi sat on the side, watching his father's face flush, and the wrinkles on his face were also relaxed.
When Chen Xi was in junior high school, his family was demolished, and his father used the demolition money to do business with people, but his partner ran away and owed hundreds of thousands of foreign debts. The family is crammed into a cramped shack. Daddy became depressed from then on. Today, seeing Daddy happy again, he is also very happy.
The next day, Chen Xi's parents went back to their hometown, Chen Xi transferred three million to his father's card, and thought it would be very troublesome, after all, the amount was relatively large, but he didn't expect it to be transferred successfully. When Chen Xi showed the card given to him by the college, the bank manager appeared directly in front of him and conscientiously helped him complete the transfer. Chen Xi once again felt the strength of the academy.
Chen Xi's mother originally wanted to stay, but he said that he didn't need to take the college entrance examination, so naturally he didn't need to accompany him, and he persuaded his mother to leave after some hard work. Chen Xi didn't dare to let his mother stay in Yining City, because that day Tang Yueyue told him that there was a dangerous species of transformation in Yining City.
Normally, the bloodline assessment is stereotyped, but there are exceptions to everything, and some dangerous species can be aberrated twice. Just as a snake sheds its skin as it grows, the dangerous species of secondary distortion will become even more powerful than before.
The dangerous species that have just completed their transformation are extremely aggressive, and they will have a period of starvation, and they will not be able to control their appetite and eat a large number of ordinary people or gods, so they are very dangerous.
Although the academy analyzed that this dangerous species may have left Yining City to hunt in other places, for the sake of insurance, someone needs to stay behind to prevent the dangerous species from returning to Yining to hunt. So Chen Xi stayed behind and enjoyed his last high school life.
When Chen Xi stood at the gate of Yining No. 1 Middle School, he found that the whole painting style was different. First of all, there was a big red banner hanging at the gate of the school, which said that Chen Xi, a student of our school, was admitted to Zigrad College with excellent results. Then he was invited to speak under the national flag.
"I'm not prepared?" Chen Xi said.
"I told your dad that day. I hope you can share your study and life experience with your classmates. The teacher spoke.
"My dad is so drunk, you let him sell me, and he will help you count the money" Chen Xi complained.
"Haha, classmate Chen, you are so humorous. It's okay, you can do it, I'm optimistic about you. The teacher replied.
"Next, let's welcome Chen Xi, a student from the third (5th) class of high school, to give us a speech, and the topic of his speech is "My Struggle Experience"" The host said.
Even the title was chosen for me, what the hell?
Chen Xi stood on the national flag stand, he was wearing the clothes that Tang Yueyue carefully selected for him that day, and under the backdrop of the hairstyle and expensive clothes designed for him by professional stylists, his originally somewhat ordinary face also became a little handsome.
Below are the young faces, with the admiring eyes of the younger brothers, and the admiring eyes of the sisters. All this he had once fantasized about had now become a reality. Chen Xi was stunned for a while and began to speak
He tells the story of an ordinary teenager who, through his unremitting efforts, finally one day realized his dream. It's mixed with some chicken soup for the soul.
Chen Xi felt that the story was not well told at all, old, and without new ideas, like the third-rate inspirational stories you read in some tabloids full of advertisements for fake drugs and andrology sexual health hospitals.
But the leaders below were very satisfied, showing a pleased smile, and the students were also moved, listening to the blood boiling, and some people took out a small notebook to record his speech.
Chicken Soup for the Soul tells us that you can succeed as long as you work hard, but there are some things in this world that you can't do if you work hard. More often, as ordinary people, we want to work hard, but our bodies are involuntarily paralyzed.
In the past, Chen Xi watched a movie called "Wind and Rain Harvard Road"
Born in the slums of the United States, Liz has endured the devastation of her family since she was a child, with her mother being an alcoholic and drug addict and suffering from schizophrenia. At the age of 15, his mother died of AIDS.
The father entered the shelter. Poor Liz needs to go out to beg and wander around the city with some friends, and the misery of life seems endless.
As she grows up, Liz knows that only by studying can she change her destiny and get out of the quagmire.
She touched the principal of the high school with the most sincere attitude and won the opportunity to study. Then, Liz began her journey on the long road to study.
She went to school while working part-time, and completed four years of high school in two years. She tried to apply for various scholarships, and only a full scholarship from the New York Times would allow her to finish college, so she worked hard and applied for this scholarship. At the end of the film, she walked into the Harvard school with confident steps.
This movie is very good, Chen Xi felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood after watching it, so he picked up the pen and began to study, and after learning for a while, it was so difficult, he had a headache, and he was fishing.
Chen Xi remembered a paragraph he had read: The teacher said to me, it is normal to have someone you like at this age, but it is best to hide it in the bottom of your heart, when you think of her, do a math problem, and when you graduate, put a book full of math problems in front of her, tell her how much you want her and how much you like her, don't believe her and don't move. It was a really good idea, and by the time I got to the second question, I didn't like her anymore.
He later watched another movie called "I Am Black," in which Katie, a single mother named Katie, had to live in a house 450 kilometers away from her birthplace in order to keep her children from being exiled to a children's institution.
Katie has a dream that she wants to continue her education while working part-time and find a decent job to support herself and her children.
But the reality is cruel, hunger, no money to pay electricity bills and cold and unheated houses, guilt and sadness for their children being ridiculed for wearing torn shoes.
All this made her have no heart to study at all. Later, she became a prostitute, and in a brothel she told the kind old man who cared for her like a father: "Now I have £300 in my pocket to buy fresh fruit for the children." ”
There are very few people in this world who can become Liz, and more people are Katie.
