Chapter 004 Chapter 4
Chapter 4: The boss returns home.
Should I choose Haicheng No. 1 High School, which has a strong faculty and a hard-working student body; or Nanya International High School, which implements elite education and prepares students to study abroad?
This is a multiple-choice question with two choices.
Both high schools are top-notch, each with its own strengths and emphases.
Shen Wan carefully read the introductions of the two high schools and did not make a decision for her daughter. Instead, she looked at Shen Baili and gave her daughter the opportunity to make the choice.
No matter what choice Shen Baili makes, Shen Wan will fully support her.
She should be the one who decides her own life.
With just one look, Shen Baili understood Shen Wan's thoughts and she didn't think about it for long.
"I will go to Haicheng No. 1 Middle School."
There was no need to hesitate too much, this was her goal from the beginning.
Assistant Li was very surprised. He guessed that the other party would choose Nanya International High School.
No matter how you compare it, the latter is like paving a smooth road leading directly to the future. While studying at school, you can also make friends with children from rich and powerful families and expand your network.
In the eyes of Assistant Li, making friends with the powerful and gaining a foothold in this circle is what Shen Wan, who married into a wealthy family, and Shen Baili, the burden, urgently need.
These are what Special Assistant Li thinks in his heart. He would not be stupid enough to say them out loud. They are not related to him at all, and it would not do him any good to say them out loud.
He just felt that ordinary people were too narrow-minded and was impressed by the little girl's innocence and nobility.
Shen Baili has her own considerations. The fact that she was able to be admitted to Shanghai No. 1 Middle School is enough to prove her learning ability. Money and other external things may be lost, but the things and skills learned are yours and cannot be taken away from you.
As for making friends with classmates from powerful families, haha, how can it be that easy?
The essence of human interaction is the exchange of values. In the eyes of those rich kids, apart from her identity as the stepdaughter of the Xie family, what else was there that made her worthy of their friendship?
The education they receive from childhood and the experiences they have learned will only make them more realistic.
Instead of wasting time on this kind of thing, it is better to strengthen yourself.
Shen Baili is now extremely sober and is not blinded by the sudden wealth in front of her.
In the original novel, "Shen Baili" did not take the entrance exam to Shanghai No. 1 Middle School, but went directly to Nanya International High School. In this aristocratic high school, no one bullied her and no one cared about her. However, because she did not fit in with the surrounding environment, she caused a lot of jokes.
The 15-year-old "Shen Baili" is highly sensitive and has high self-esteem. She will not say these things to worry her already worried mother. She has to endure the cold violence of the whole school alone. Her already unbalanced mentality has gradually become distorted, and it has become more serious as time goes by.
In the end, "Shen Baili" failed the college entrance examination and refused to go to college abroad. In the end, she spent a lot of money to enter an aristocratic university in China.
Shen Baili also had a guess that her obsession was most likely related to studying.
She has been thinking over the known information these days, comparing reality with the known plot, and gained a lot of inspiration and speculation from it.
The release of the high school entrance examination results further confirmed her guess.
The system's awakening was definitely not accidental. How did it awaken?
It can only obtain energy from itself. It is very likely that she has achieved certain obsessions and recharged the system.
She tried hard to recall her past life, comparing what had happened with the plot of the original novel, and found the answer.
Is it because she changed the plot of the original novel and was admitted to Haicheng No. 1 Middle School based on her own abilities?
Or did she not miss the high school entrance exam and successfully completed it?
Or both.
Once she verifies it again, she will know the answer clearly.
Special Assistant Li was professional. After discussing the details and some requirements with Shen Wan and Shen Baili, he prepared to leave.
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
Li Tezhu successfully completed the old task and accepted the new task.
Today's work efficiency was beyond his expectations, so he could go home early.
As he thought about it, Assistant Li's pace became lighter as he left. He really hoped that his daily work could be so easy.
Thinking of his neighbor, Special Assistant Wang, who was busy with the boss's trivial chores every day and had to work on standby for twenty hours a month to deal with the broken stall, he couldn't help but tremble with fear.
There must be no drama in the boss's house. He doesn't want to work overtime. He has money but no life to spend it. His body is not as strong as the special assistant of the handsome king next door.
…
Shen Baili handed the bank card to her mother, but Shen Wan did not take it: "Take the pocket money yourself, buy whatever you want."
Shen Wan understands her daughter and knows she won't waste money.
Both she and her daughter had to adapt to life in the Xie family, and they had a lot to learn.
Unlike Shen Baili, Shen Wan knew from the beginning that Xie Chengyue was not a simple person, and her decision to remarry was the result of careful consideration.
Shen Baili put away the bank card and opened the gift box on the coffee table. Inside was a very beautiful white watch, small and exquisite. It was obviously picked by the assistant team, which was very thoughtful.
"Try it on. You just need a watch for school." Shen Wan praised, "That's thoughtful."
Shen Baili first studied the basic functions of the watch. She was very satisfied with the clear and accurate reading. Then she put on the watch and shook her wrist: "Does it look good?"
Shen Wan praised: "It looks good. It makes your hands look white and slender."
“Is it comfortable to wear?”
Shen Baili: "The size is just right and the watch is very light."
“I’ll make good use of it.”
Seeing that she liked it, Shen Wan asked, "Then wear it on your hand?"
Shen Baili: "Yeah."
She likes this watch very much.
"In a few days, staff will deliver this season's clothes to our home and we will choose together."
Shen Baili: "Okay."
She once again lamented the extravagance of the rich, which always opened her eyes.
*
After lunch, Shen Baili first did a set of math problems to wake herself up, then continued with yesterday's study progress and continued with today's preview plan.
I have finished learning mathematics for the first semester of the first year of high school. Today I previewed one chapter of physics and geography, and watched two episodes of the British Peppa Pig cartoon. Studying should be combined with work and rest.
Shen Wan was also supplementing her knowledge about wealthy families, learning about other families that had cooperated with the Xie family, as well as some banquet etiquette and so on.
The mother and daughter also have the same crash course for wealthy families, but it just so happens that there is no class scheduled today.
One was upstairs and the other was downstairs, and they spent a fulfilling afternoon.
***
At three o'clock one afternoon, the new clothes of the season were delivered as promised.
Rows of clothes are neatly displayed in the living room, which is extremely spectacular. It is no exaggeration to say that the clothing store has been moved into the house.
To be more precise, the fashion show was moved into the home. The latest clothes of the season from all major brands were brought in, and models with body shapes similar to Shen Wan and Shen Baili were arranged to wear the clothes and walk the runway. Jewelry, shoes, and bags were all matched.
Shen Baili was once again amazed that the TV series was still too conservative.
They sat on the sofa, watching the models display the clothes, and when they saw a style they liked, they spoke up, with their personal assistants taking notes.
The tea table is filled with exquisite and delicious afternoon tea, which can be enjoyed at any time.
Shen Baili found it novel, and it was also a pleasure to watch beautiful models walking on the runway in beautiful clothes.
Both of them kept a lot, including tops, pants, and skirts of all kinds and styles, and the harvest was quite rich.
After the shopping is completed, the servants in Xie's house will sort the selected clothes and put them in the mother and daughter's cloakroom. You don't need to do anything yourself during the whole process, but it is a great experience.
"Are you tired?" Shen Wan noticed that Shen Baili yawned.
Shen Baili shook her head: "I'm not tired, but my eyes are a little sore."
Shen Wan suggested: "Let's go for a walk in the yard?"
She kept the doctor's instructions in mind and always paid attention to Shen Baili's daily exercise. When her eyes were tired, she would just look at some green plants.
"Okay." Shen Baili agreed.
Shen Wan gave some instructions to her personal assistant, and then walked out of the living room with her daughter holding her arm.
The sun hasn't set yet, but it's not as hot as it used to be, making it a perfect day for a walk outdoors.
In the living room, the employees of the luxury clothing store looked at their backs, glanced at each other, and saw the envy between them.
The young female clerk couldn't help but exclaim: "They are so beautiful, and have such a great temperament. They are indeed the wives and daughters of wealthy families."
The novel about wealthy families has entered reality.
She had just started working and mostly worked in the store. This was the first time she was assigned to work outside.
Since entering the villa area, she felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, which refreshed her understanding of rich people.
And it was the first time for her to see two extremely beautiful women with stunning looks and temperament in real life!!!
Her eyes were wide open!!
Mrs. Xie is gentle, graceful, noble and dignified. Miss Xie looks very similar to her mother, but her facial features are more delicate and cool, and her smile is beautiful and sweet.
They were all so gentle and polite. I couldn't help but breathe softly when listening to them talking, for fear of disturbing the beauties.
The older female clerk looked around and saw that there was no one around. She gossiped and said sarcastically, "That lady is very capable. She bewitched the boss and married into a top family for the second time, and she even brought a daughter with her."
She is an old employee who has received many wealthy people and heard a lot of the latest gossip in the wealthy circle.
Today I finally met the protagonist of this topic, so that's it.
She is just prettier than her, whiter than her, and more elegant than her... There are so many beautiful people in reality, why is she so lucky to marry a big shot and directly achieve class crossing.
"Don't be fooled by her superficial appearance," the older clerk said disdainfully.
The young clerk heard this shocking gossip, his eyes widened, and he whispered back: "But Mrs. Xie is very gentle, not like what you said..."
The older clerk tutted his tongue and was about to say something, but was scolded by the manager: "What are you mumbling about here? Just work hard for me, I don't want the bonus this month!"
The young clerk quickly apologized and quietly moved away from the older clerk, her intuition telling her that the other person was not a good person.
The older clerk rolled his eyes impatiently, not wanting to pay attention, and went to another corner to do some fishing.
In fact, when the person in charge heard the sour speech, he was almost laughed at by this idiot. He relied on the fact that he had an affair with the deputy store manager and acted like a bully all day long.
How dare you discuss the gossip of your big client so recklessly? Don't do anything stupid and bring trouble to these hardworking workers.
He was really speechless. The idiot was just jealous that Mrs. Xie was beautiful and married into a wealthy family, so he was psychologically unbalanced.
Fortunately, no one else heard this explosive remark. Did he offend a big client because his job was too comfortable and he wanted to find some excitement?
The person in charge neither understood nor respected him, so he decided to report today's situation to the store manager when he got home, and it would be best if he could fire the idiot.
The person in charge took out a tissue, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and prepared to continue supervising the work of the employees. When he turned around, he saw the majestic and powerful boss not far away. Even though the other party hadn't opened his mouth yet, he could feel the pressure.
The person in charge was sweating profusely and stammered, "Thank you... Thank you, Mr. Chairman."
Mr. Xie has been standing there for how long. Did he hear the idiot's speech?
The person in charge could not get any information from Xie Chengyue's calm face.
Damn idiot! The person in charge couldn't help but curse in his heart.
