Chapter 286 Let’s Start Now
Gu Siqing and her friends spent the summer in Kyoto, and were preparing to return to Lizhou when school was about to start. Before leaving, the family went to see Gu Sanjing. Speaking of which, practicing sports was really hard work. Ordinary students had winter and summer vacations, as well as holidays like May Day and National Day, but they rarely had any.
Therefore, the glory that comes when you stand on the podium is the result of so much effort and sweat behind the scenes.
Gu Sanjing was still the same, full of energy. Seeing the delicious food they brought, her eyes narrowed with joy. Gu Siqing asked her, "Did Jia Xiaoling cause you any trouble?"
Gu Sanjing said while eating, "At first, she always challenged me to competition, but she couldn't beat me every time, which made her lose her mind. Later, the coach forced her not to compete with me."
Gu family: ""
It's really speechless. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
"Stay away from her from now on," Gu Jianguo instructed her, "Call your elder sister if anything happens."
Gu Sanjing nodded, "I know. The coach is very nice to me, and the team is very harmonious."
Gu Jianguo touched her head and thought about moving his whole family to Kyoto as soon as possible so that he would not have to worry too much.
When they returned, only Gu Siqing, Gu Jianguo, Wang Yueju, and Gu Erhui stayed in Kyoto. Over the past two months, they had purchased the property for the supermarket and the office space. Now, they had to register the company, renovate it, recruit staff, and conduct training.
After returning to Lizhou, Gu Jianguo will transfer some people to Kyoto. Since it is just starting out there, they definitely need experienced people to lead the team.
As soon as they left Lizhou Station, Gu Siqing saw the fair-skinned boy waving at them with his white teeth flashing. She hurried over and said, "Why are you here? We can just take the bus back."
I couldn't contain my emotions.
Of course, Han Zhengping couldn't say this. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't want to take the bus."
At this time, Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju came over. Wang Yueju said, "You two can go back by bike. We will take the bus."
They have become accustomed to the two little ones getting along like this. It doesn't affect their studies anyway, and their personalities haven't changed because of it.
The two parents took the bus away. Han Zhengping took off the army green schoolbag from his shoulder and handed it to Gu Siqing. He watched her take it in her hands, then smiled and got on the bicycle.
Gu Siqing glanced at his legs and thought that the boy might have grown taller without her noticing. Before, when he straddled the bicycle, his legs supporting the ground were straight, but now they were bent.
She sat in the back seat of the car with her schoolbag and was about to ask him how tall he was now, but the schoolbag in her hand made two rustling sounds. She immediately opened the schoolbag and saw that it was full of snacks, most of which were her favorites.
Surprised, she pulled out a bag of dried fruit, tore it open, and held a piece out in front of Han Zhengping. Gu Siqing also pulled out a piece of chocolate from her schoolbag, tore open the wrapper, and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Student Han's move is exactly what I want." Gu Siqing said with a smile.
The boy in front of her laughed at her words and said, "I'll keep up the good work."
Gu Siqing laughed twice and asked, "How are you doing with your English?"
"It's not bad. The foreign teacher lives at home and chats with me in English from morning to night. I can almost communicate with him in a simple way."
With a good learning environment, learning English wasn't that difficult. Besides, he had studied dumb English for a few years before, so it was still useful.
"Are we going to apply for admission to overseas schools in a while?" Gu Siqing asked again.
Han Zhengping hummed, "I'll start writing the application after school starts. With the results of the last Mathematical Olympiad, if I pass English, there won't be any problems."
"Do I have to report once I'm approved?"
Han Zhengping was silent for a moment before he said, "Yes, if your application is approved in the second half of this year, you will have to report after the New Year."
His voice was a little heavy. After all, studying abroad meant separation. They had never been apart for too long.
Although Gu Siqing was somewhat reluctant, she was an adult after all. She knew that if separation was inevitable, she should not be too entangled in sadness. Wouldn't it be better to say goodbye happily and wait for reunion happily?
"Should I apply for admission?" Gu Siqing said.
"Well, I'll tell my teacher when I'm ready to apply after school starts. The school will definitely be happy to know your conditions." Han Zhengping really wanted to get Xia Yuan before he went abroad. He even thought that if it really didn't work out, he would mention it to Su Wenshan.
"Okay." It was time for her to fight back. Their family was moving to Kyoto soon, and the conflict between her and Xia Yuan would inevitably escalate. So, let's start now.
The two agreed that after the start of the school year, Han Zhengping told his homeroom teacher about his intention to apply to foreign universities. The homeroom teacher wasn't surprised at all. Han Zhengping had won the International Mathematical Olympiad and had already received offers from two top international universities.
Moreover, his family was well-off, so studying abroad was not a problem for his family at all. However, the Ministry of Education had communicated with the school and if Han Zhengping wanted to study abroad, he could do so at public expense.
The country also wants to retain such talents.
Han Zhengping heard from his teacher that he could study abroad at government expense, but he didn't immediately agree. Government funding for study abroad comes with conditions, such as a requirement to return to China and serve the country for at least two years after graduation. While he was determined to return to China after graduation, he didn't want his career prospects to be restricted.
"I'll discuss this with my family." Han Zhengping said.
The head teacher was stunned for a long time after hearing what he said. He didn't expect that there would be people considering studying abroad at government expense. This is a place that many people would try their best to get!
"Okay, go back and discuss it with the parents, and then get back to me." This was all the head teacher could say.
At this time, Gu Siqing passed by the office door, and Han Zhengping stared at her back for a long time. The head teacher had noticed what was going on between them, but since they were both top students and usually studied together, and had not done anything inappropriate, he didn't care.
Seeing Han Zhengping staring at Gu Siqing's back, the head teacher couldn't help but ask, "Does Gu Siqing have any plans to study abroad?"
It is very easy for children from wealthy families to study abroad.
"She's not going abroad. She wants to study Chinese in college," Han Zhengping said casually. "She's published two books and wants to be a writer in the future."
"What?" The head teacher was so surprised that he couldn't believe his ears. Gu Siqing was so young, but she had already published two books.
But Han Zhengping said calmly, "She has published two books. I guess you've heard of them, 'Whose Childhood Wasn't Troubled' and 'Whose Youth Wasn't Reckless'."
"Was that written by Gu Siqing?" The head teacher was surprised again, then said, "No wonder, when I read 'Whose Youth Isn't Reckless', I always felt that some things and some people were very familiar."
