Chu Yi glanced timidly at Chu Fang, then slowly spoke.
It's actually very simple.
Chu Yi is already in his second year of high school and will take the college entrance examination next June, but unfortunately his grades are not good, so he has no hope of getting a bachelor's degree, and even a junior college is difficult for him.
She felt she wasn't cut out for studying and lacked the patience to learn, so she gave up her studies and entered the workforce early.
She knew that her ideas were not accepted by her family. Her whole family hoped that she would at least go to university, have a degree, and be presentable in society.
A conflict arose between her family's ideas and her own beliefs, leading her to run away from home and work in an electronics factory with her best friend Zhou Qiong. This proved that there are many paths to success, and that life is not limited to just studying.
Why did her best friend Zhou Qiong come along too?
Zhou Qiong lost her parents at a young age, and her grandparents passed away. In order to study, she often went to Shanghai to work and earn a living.
Led by her best friend, Chu Yi arrived in Shanghai.
Chu Fang really wanted to pry open his cousin's brain to see what was inside.
Others work hard to study, but she abandons her studies to work diligently.
They went in the opposite direction.
When the fried rice arrived, Chu gestured to the two of them and asked, "How many days have you been working?"
"It's been five days." Chu Yi ate his fried rice with big bites.
Are you tired?
Chu Yi honestly replied, "Tired."
It's really tiring.
Not only am I physically exhausted, but I am also mentally exhausted. I am doing repetitive and meaningless work. My eating, sleeping, drinking, and going to the toilet are all restricted by company rules. I even feel like my brain has stopped working.
For someone as lively as Chu Yi, this was pure torture.
I used to think studying was tough, but after working for a few days I realized that working is even tougher.
Chu Fang asked the little girl next to him, "Xiao Qiong, are you tired?"
"It's alright," Zhou Qiong replied softly.
Chu Fang stroked his chin, lost in thought, and glanced at his cousin: "Don't take it from me, eat quickly, and then come with me."
"Huh?" Chu Yi opened his mouth. "I haven't received my salary yet."
Chu Yi understood that since Chu Lao Er had come to her door, she couldn't stay any longer. Her family wouldn't let her stay at the electronics factory, but the thought of those five days' wages still made her heart ache.
"Have you earned five hundred yuan in five days yet?" Chu Fang rolled his eyes, ignoring his cousin, and said to Zhou Qiong, "Xiao Qiong, you and Xiao Yi are best friends, why don't you keep her company tonight?"
Zhou Qiong readily agreed: "No problem."
After finishing the fried rice, Chu Fang asked Chu Yi and Zhou Qiong to go back to the staff dormitory to get their luggage, while he stood outside, gazing at the starry sky with a slight frown.
Resigning from an electronics factory requires no application or reason; simply grab your luggage and you're done.
The high employee turnover rate is hard to predict.
A short while later, the two walked out of the staff dormitory.
Chu Fang's taxi arrived just then, and the three of them left the electronics factory together.
Along the way, Chu Yi chatted quietly with her best friend, gazing at the bustling night view of Shanghai with envy in her eyes, discussing the scenery of Shanghai.
Although Chu Yi is cheerful and outgoing, he is essentially a country boy who has never seen the world and is amazed by everything in Shanghai. Zhou Qiong, on the other hand, has been to Shanghai before, but she has always lived in a factory in the suburbs and has never been to the city center, so she is full of curiosity about everything in front of her.
Meanwhile, Chu Fang sat in the passenger seat and at one in the morning, he pulled his private lawyer out of bed to consult him about the information he wanted.
Even so, the private lawyer had to reply with a smile and dared not show the slightest temper.
no way.
Who told Chu Fang to pay him at least several hundred thousand yuan in consulting fees every year?
VVVVIp customers!
Back in the Tanhua residential area, we arrived at room 2003.
"Brother, is this the house you rented?" Chu Yi looked at the house curiously. "It's so beautiful."
The house wasn't actually beautiful; it was even worse than the house in her hometown. But under the filter of high housing prices, even the ugliest house becomes a paradise on earth.
This is a house in Shanghai.
"If you get into university, I'll give you the house," Chu Fang said casually, then waved his hand, "You two go wash up, there are toiletries in the bathroom."
After the two left, Chu Fang dialed his mother's number, and she answered immediately: "You've found your little sister?"
"Mm," Chu Fang replied.
He clearly heard cheers coming from across the street; obviously, his whole family was at home, concerned about the children.
He then told his family the whole story.
Everyone was a bit of a headache.
Chu Fang thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I have an idea. What do you think of it?"
"My younger sister is already in her second year of high school and will take the college entrance exam next year, but her grades are really bad. It's hard for her to do well in our hometown. I want to bring her to Shanghai to study, find her a good high school, and tutor her. Um... Don't worry, I happen to have the relevant connections and can get her in."
After all, she's his youngest sister, the apple of the family's eye.
Despite constantly beating up his younger sister, he still doted on Chu Yi.
His younger sister wasn't doing well in school, and as her older brother, he couldn't just stand by and watch her suffer.
Shanghai's educational resources are second only to Beijing's. Bringing my younger sister to Shanghai has resulted in her studies progressing by leaps and bounds.
Even if the final result wasn't good, he tried his best and had a clear conscience.
On his way back, he kept looking for connections and resources and asking about laws and regulations.
A conclusion can be drawn:
It's good to be rich!
With enough money, he could easily arrange for Chu Yi to attend any high school in Shanghai, even a top-tier class.
"Really?" came my aunt's sharp voice, which was mixed with joy and surprise.
"Hmm... I've already asked, and there's absolutely no problem," Chu Fang replied.
Aunt's voice rose eight octaves: "That's so kind of you, Chu Fang, thank you so much."
"Chu Yi is also my sister."
"Xiao Fang, thank you for your trouble." The uncle also thanked him.
"It's alright, it's alright."
The uncle wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the difficulty of getting his daughter to study in Shanghai: "You're quite something, kid."
Chu Fang grinned and said, "I happen to have connections in this area."
"I'll treat you to drinks when we get home."
"no problem."
After discussing it with his family, they decided that Chu Yi would study in Shanghai during his senior year of high school.
... ...
After hanging up the phone, Aunt Chu patted her chest, a bright smile spreading across her face. Her daughter had been found, and she could now study in Shanghai.
It's absolutely perfect.
Uncle Chu Fang offered a cigarette to Chu Fang's father, Chu Gao, but the latter shook his head and said, "I've quit. You should smoke less."
"Then I won't smoke either." Uncle Chu Fang put the cigarettes back into the box and said with emotion, "When Chu Fang was born, I knew he was a dragon among men. At that time, even the Purple Star shone brightly. I was certain that Chu Fang would achieve great things in the future, and sure enough, I was right."
"Hey, what has he accomplished?" Chu Gao said casually.
"Tch! We've been brothers for decades, don't I know you? You're probably overjoyed right now." Uncle Chu Fang scoffed. "That kid Chu Fang managed to get Chu Yi into high school in Shanghai. That takes a lot of ability, you're a teacher, don't you know?"
"You know perfectly well what's going on, but you're still pretending."
Educational resources are such a scarce resource that a phenomenon called "school district housing" has emerged, with housing prices rising in tandem with education levels—what a powerful force!
Chu Fang's ability to provide Chu Yi with high-quality educational resources immediately demonstrates his considerable capabilities.
A slight smile appeared on Chu Gao's face, and Uncle Chu Fang patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, you've quit smoking, but you can't possibly quit drinking, can you? I'll treat you to a drink as a way of thanking you."
