Chapter 10: Qu Cai's Principal
No sooner had he returned to Warwick than standing outside the main entrance of Lincoln High School, and Tommy Hawke had given his two best friends the latest order to act.
Seeing the principal, vice principal, and provost who was trotting out of the school building, Tommy Hawk said:
"History has taught us that if it weren't for the Princeton accident, the principals would never grovel to us and welcome us back to school with the attitude of welcoming Lincoln."
"Tommy~" Otilia reminded from the side.
Tommy ignored the beautiful teacher's reminder and continued, "So, prepare for the worst, without Princeton, without support, we are going to have this summer camp too. ”
After saying that, he threw the list of requirements he had already made to Dennis:
"Dennis, you're in charge of the basics of fundraising, textbooks, sports equipment, and mobilizing your connections and charisma in the local high school world, I just want to see the final amount! Don't tell me I can't figure it out, Mr. Junior Student Leader of America, Honorary Citizen of St. Vincent and Chief of the National Police of St. Vincent! Last but not least, you don't have any financial backing when you do this! This is the most basic, even if there is no business to visit, you need to prepare. ”
"Are you sure? I even saw above that you wrote one hundred and twenty American high school curriculum textbooks that need to be fucked! Dennis took a look at the dense demand and said to Tommy, "It's not something I can do as a high school student!" Do you know how expensive a textbook is? It's more expensive than a bag of hemp! ”
"Then forget that you're a high school student, use your brains, and use your unique wisdom as the youth leader of the United States praised by Prime Minister Marduff!" Tommy didn't even look at the other and looked at Pam on the other side.
Dennis gave Tommy a middle finger, took the list and turned to leave swearing, not entering the school.
Pam was still looking through Carly's picture, and to be honest, Tommy thought that Carly might be hungry and maybe hadn't seen a white high school student for too long, so he actually became friends with an otaku like Pam who didn't have a female physiology in an American high school.
"Pam! Don't be crazy about staring at Carly's pictures! Take the photos I took before, documentary, I don't care if you understand photography technology or design, but the school has relevant clubs, you have to find a way to convince them to help you, sell hue or anything, in short, I need to see a leaflet and a promotional video as soon as possible, the text content will be provided to you later! And you're luckier than Dennis, you have up to $50 in funding! Tommy Hawk patted Pam on the shoulder, snatched the picture of Carly in his hand, and said loudly:
"You'd better be able to do it, or I'll be your rival, pursue Carly, and send some intimate photos of my time with her for your best friend to enjoy! Let you send us blessings with tears! ”
Pam reached out to snatch the photo back and scolded repeatedly: "Of course! F*ckYou Tommy! I'll do my best to keep Carly from being captured by you bastard. ”
Then he looked up at the three principals who were getting closer and closer, turned around and walked along the side path towards the campus, apparently in the direction of the photography club.
"That's it! Get this done, protect your Carly, or I'd be interested in telling Carly how Dennis' boobs are swollen! Make her believe that you and Dennis are a! Then join me in wishing you and Dennis a happy bed! Tommy said behind Palm.
When Pam left, Tommy Hawk looked at the three principals who were a few meters away, and said to Otilia beside him:
"I bet they'll pretend they don't hear what I'm saying."
Sure enough, after walking the last few meters, the headmaster, Mr. Mendez, said with a kind smile: "Miss Farrell, Tommy Hawke, it's great to see you return safely, and besides, we have a surprise for you. ”
……
"You told Holy Cross High School about this, as well as a few other high schools that are better than ours? Is this the surprise? I thought you'd give us a checkbook for 5,000 or 10,000 dollars. In the principal's office, Tommy Hawke stared blankly at the principal of his high school, Mr. Mendes, who was trying to maintain his solemnity and majesty, but couldn't help but have the corners of his mouth upturned.
The principal directly ignored Tommy's question about financial support in the second half of the paragraph, and only gave an answer to his first question:
"Actually, not only that, but I called the high schools that had held exchange competitions with our high school before, and had no gentlemanly spirit to win big scores and humiliate us, and told them that the professors from Princeton University were coming to our summer camp at Lincoln High School, and guess what, they spoke in the same tone as when I was humiliated."
"But we haven't contacted Princeton yet, and we don't know if they'll see our plan and whether they'll actually be there." Tommy frowned in confusion.
The principal hesitated, lowered his voice and said: "Child, this is the problem, after I calmed down, I thought for a long time that if I wasn't crazy, the unknown professor from Princeton was crazy, in order to avoid a happy scene, so I called the phone first to anger those guys, after all, they had humiliated me with their grades, so even if there was no professor from Princeton, we wouldn't have gained nothing." ”
Tommy Hawk looked at Otilia next to him and said to the headmaster, "We need to make sure some information first, Mr. Headmaster, before we can judge if it's true, please give me and Miss Farrell ten minutes." ”
The two left the principal's office and returned to Otilia's office.
Tommy confessed his guess to Otilia.
"You mean, I'm being amorous? My godfather didn't actually help us? Otilia's eyes widened: "That's what came to mind from Dennis's words?" ”
Tommy Hawk nodded: "I think it's, at least more than 50% likely, maybe 55% or 60%?" There was no difference between you back then and you now, it was you who were self-inflicted. ”
"You're saying my godfather only has 40% love for me?" Otilia gave Tommy a disgruntled look.
Tommy tilted his head to gesture to the phone on the table, "Make a call to your father or your godfather, and we'll know how much they love you." ”
"Tommy, I feel like you're disrespectful to my godfather, and I've hit it before, and although they didn't admit it, we couldn't find any other reason." Although Otilia was dissatisfied, she picked up the phone and dialed her godfather's number.
A female voice with no emotional fluctuations rang on the other end of the phone: "This is the office of the Rhode Island Superintendent of Public Education. ”
"Oh......" Otilia was a little nervous, holding the earpiece and whispering to Tommy, "This is the first time I've called him during working hours." ”
"Miss?" Asked on the other end of the phone.
Otilia let go of the hand covering the earpiece: "I'm Otilia Farrell, University Recruitment Instructor at Lincoln High School in Warwick, and I want to talk to Mr. Frank Chaffee on the phone. ”
"Do you have an appointment?"
"Nope."
"Business or private?"
"Private calls."
"Then I am afraid that Mr. Frank Chaffee will not be able to listen to your call for the time being, he accompanied Mr. Secretary of State to Switzerland for a week-long visit earlier today, and I can register your phone number and let Mr. Frank Chafee know when he returns."
"Okay, thanks." Otilia hung up the phone and looked at Tommy Hawke: "He accompanied the Secretary of State on a trip abroad." ”
"But I can still call my father, and I think if my godfather helped me, he must know." Otilia thought for a moment, said to Tommy, and dialed another number.
Soon, a gentle female voice sounded over there: "This is the office of the president of Hailin Shipbuilding." ”
"Daisy? I'm Ottilia. Hearing the female voice, Otilia spoke, "Is my father here?" ”
"Of course, he's looking at the papers, but I don't think he'll refuse your call, Miss Farrell, Mr. Farrell, your daughter is calling, Line One." After the secretary helped to connect, he cut his own line.
"You rarely call me during business hours, Otileia, what's the matter?" My father's voice quickly rang on the other end of the phone, with the sound of paper as he quickly flipped through a paperwork.
"I know you're working, Dad, but there's something I want to figure out right now, I'...... A few days ago, I sent an application to my godfather's office. ”
"And you didn't give that high school student a chance to trade, as I said, did you? You didn't modify it, it was sent directly to your godfather, yes, he called me before to ask about the situation, I regret that the deal didn't happen, but your godfather said that it is still possible to provide you with some necessary support, after all, Lincoln High School is too stingy, I'm sorry that I didn't admit it last time you asked me, I thought, since you didn't do what I said, I don't want to spoil your enthusiasm and that of the students. Farrell said as he flipped through the papers.
"But my godfather is also exaggerating, Dad, you freak me and my students out." Otilia receives an affirmative reply from her father, and looks at Tommy in the same way, still seemingly resentful of his questioning of his father's and godfather's affection for her.
Mr. Farrell said absent-mindedly, "I understand that the poor boys of public high schools are indeed frightened, but shouldn't you thank your godfather?" It's not like I'm giving you support. ”
"I'll go and call again to thank him, Dad, you know the ...... between public high school and Princeton"
"Daughter, I have an internal meeting in five minutes, I need to use this time to read the information, and then I have to fly to the yacht show in Miami to meet the client, you can call your godfather to thank him, I am a little busy before the summer vacation officially comes, after all, rich people are busy buying yachts during this time to start the vacation......" Seeing that his daughter was ready to continue chatting, Farrell could only confess that he was very busy with his work now.
"Okay, Dad, goodbye." Otilia hung up playfully.
"Sea line shipbuilding? Wow. Tommy Hawk heard it clearly next to him, and he sighed with emotion at this time.
He is no stranger to the brand now, two boats in the Becia foster family's home are products of this company, Tony has also helped to tune it, a recreational dinghy used to play in the river, and an offshore motorized sailboat used to go fishing and riding with the whole family, which is one of the more well-known recreational boat companies in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
"Can you now be sure that the Princeton affair has something to do with my godfather? My father confessed. Otilia lowered her head and exhaled and looked at Tommy: "Although you were suspicious of them just now, Tommy, I still have to say that I will not change your application, this is your idea, you also heard, although my father was arrogant before, but just now he did not insist on writing my name on it." ”
"I'm going to come up with a detailed and complete plan first." Tommy Hawk walked out of Otilia's office, thinking about the information he had obtained, and subconsciously took out a cigarette and lit it in the hallway: "I always felt that something must be different from what we thought it was. ”
The serious provost happened to pass by and saw Tommy Hawk standing in the school smoking like a skilful old smoking gun.
"Sorry, Mrs. Wharton......" Tommy scrambled to drop his cigarette on the floor, trying to explain.
Mrs. Wharton looked at Tommy expressionlessly, then turned around and walked back the way she came: "Tommy Hawke, if the plan attracts a college professor, you and the cigarette on the ground will be put in the school honor room, which is a sign of your maturity, but if it doesn't work, I will arrange for the strictest adolescent psychological growth teacher to take care of you and teach you what it means to obey the school rules." ”
At this time, Otilia also walked out of the office: "Tommy, I seem to know what the headmaster's surprise is. ”
"What?" Tommy picks up the extinguished cigarette on the ground and puts it in his mouth to light it again.
Otilia took the note she had just recorded: "The administration office called me and asked me for information about the summer camp, because the parents of the schools that the principal called to show off before actually called the administration office to inquire about our summer camp. ”
"The headmaster leaked it out on purpose?" Tommy's eyes lit up: "That's right, the principal taught me a lesson, it doesn't matter if Professor Princeton comes or not, it's best to come, and if you don't come, you have to make money, and make money from the high school students of those schools who have humiliated him, Mr. Mendez is the principal, if the president asks him to be an economic adviser, maybe the American economy will be better." ”
