Chapter 354 Lacking ambition!
In the study, Gu Shu and Gu Hua sat on the sofa, looking at Gu Yin.
"Ayin, why did you call us here?" Gu Shu asked, puzzled.
Gu Yin looked at Gu Shu and smiled, "I mainly want to ask about your studies. The college entrance exam is in June. The pace of the exams at No. 1 High School in the city should be about the same as that at Jiang High School. How many rounds of review have you done? How were the mock exams?"
It turned out that she was asking about her studies. Gu Shu took out her phone, opened the album, and handed it to Gu Yin: "This is the third round of review. I have ranked the scores of each test. There have been improvements and declines, but they have all fluctuated around 650."
Gu Yin took the phone and checked it; the results were indeed as the other party had said.
"Why is Gu Shu's English fluctuating so much?" Gu Yin wondered. In the Gu family, not to mention Gu Yin and Gu Le who had a foundation in English, even Gu Hua's English was very good. So Gu Yin thought that Gu Shu's English should be good. But it turned out that among the three main subjects, Gu Shu's English was the worst!
The score can drop as low as 98! The highest score is only 110, out of a total of 150!
Gu Shu sighed, "I really don't like English. I got these scores by forcing myself to memorize and learn! I'd rather do a few math tests than an English one! I think if I get 100 points, that's already an overachievement!"
Gu Yin frowned: "Why didn't you say so sooner?"
Gu Shu blinked: "650 points is enough to get into a university in Beijing. As long as I perform normally, getting into Beijing University of Science and Technology will be no problem."
Gu Yin turned her head and looked over, then picked up a cushion from the sofa and tossed it over: "If your English score improves by 20 points, you'll definitely be able to get into Qingdao University! How can you be so unambitious!"
Gu Shu took the pillow: "..." For some reason, he was reminded of the days when he was controlled during the high school entrance exam!
really!
"Tomorrow I'll have Grandpa call a tutor for you from the port city. You can apply to live at home later, and this tutor will communicate with you entirely in English! We must make sure you improve your score in the college entrance exam! There are only five months left, time is tight, you can't slack off!"
Before Gu Shu could speak, Gu Hua's eyes lit up: "Then I'll apply to go home tonight too!"
Gu Shu: "...You're taking the college entrance exam next year, and your English isn't bad, why bother?! Can't you stop being so stubborn, girls?!"
Gu Yin/Gu Hua: "No way!"
Gu Shu dared not object any further: "Alright, then I'll trouble Grandpa Zhou."
After asking Gu Shu, Gu Yin looked at Gu Hua and asked, "What about you? I noticed you chose humanities. Do you have a school in mind?"
Gu Hua sat up straight: "That's right! I want to go to the University of Political Science and Law! As for whether I'll be a lawyer or a judge in the future, I haven't decided yet! I'll think about it after I finish the college entrance exam!"
Seeing Gu Hua's earnest and sincere face, Gu Yin realized that Gu Hua had followed the same path as in her previous life. In her previous life, she studied law at Qingda University, but in this life, she wanted to go to a university specializing in political science and law. Given her grades and level of effort, Gu Yin had nothing to worry about.
The three chatted for a while longer when there was a knock on the door. Gu Shu got up to open it, and it was Li Mengxin and Li Xiang.
Li Mengxin poked her head in and asked with a smile, "Have you finished chatting?"
Gu Yin nodded: "Are you done talking? Is there something you need?"
As the two entered, Gu Hua stood up and said, "Then my brother and I will go out first."
"No need! I only came because you're here; I have something to talk to you about." Li Xiang waved for them to sit down.
After closing the door, Li Xiang looked at the three of them and smiled, "It's like this, Ah Xiang and I have discussed it for a long time and considered a lot of things, and finally decided to tell you that we're planning to open a shop! A beauty salon! What do you think?!"
Gu Yin asked in surprise, "Do you have an idea?"
Li Xiang nodded: "For the past six months, Qingming and I have been traveling a lot, and we've met quite a few wealthy ladies. I've noticed they're particularly fond of skincare and beauty treatments! They go to beauty salons at least three times a week! They go when they're bored, when they're tired from shopping, and even when they have business to discuss. My sister goes abroad every two weeks for a major beauty treatment! The wealthier the socialite, the more they focus on this! I've been there twice before, and I saw them swiping their cards without batting an eye! Each visit costs ten or twenty thousand, and a membership fee can easily reach hundreds of thousands! They make a fortune!"
Gu Yin knew that this was a very lucrative business, and that it would become even more profitable over time.
"But you don't have the technology, are you planning to hire people?" Gu Yin asked, puzzled.
Li Mengxiang shook her head: "I discussed this with your grandmother, and she was very supportive. She said that hiring someone is fine, but you also need to be able to do it yourself. She said that if your aunt and I are willing, she can use her connections to send us to the United States, Korea, and Durian to study. We can come back and open the business after studying for a year or two. But this year, Ashu is taking the college entrance exam, and next year you two will also be taking the college entrance exam. We are worried that it will delay your studies, so we are still considering it and would like to ask for your opinion."
Gu Shu scratched his head: "I'm perfectly fine. Grandma can cook, and I can do everything else myself!"
Gu Hua also shook her head: "I'm even less of a problem with that. You can do whatever you want! Don't worry about us!"
Gu Yin nodded: "We are not shackles that bind your steps and dreams, but a support you can rely on! I think Grandma's idea is good. After all, she is a top-tier tycoon, and she should know a lot about this!"
Li Xiang patted their heads and smiled, "You've all grown up!"
She hadn't thought of this before, but after seeing more of the world, she realized that if a man's wife is unskilled, doesn't improve herself, and continues to rely on the family after he becomes wealthy, then this unequal marriage will soon fall apart. It's really unreliable to gamble her future on a man's conscience!
Especially now that the Gu family is getting richer and richer, many of the people who are clinging to Gu Qingming are actually trying to get rid of her. But Gu Qingming is a good person and ignores all those temptations. He takes her with him wherever he goes.
Gu Qingming is currently managing an entire commercial street, but I can't really help him much. When I'm idle, I tend to overthink things. I might as well start my own business and increase my own value, not for anyone else, but for myself!
So she talked to Li Mengxin about it, and Li Mengxin agreed without hesitation. She asked the elders and men in her family, and they all supported it. Now the children also support it, so they can focus on their careers without any worries!
After discussing the matter, it was time to celebrate the New Year, so everyone left the study to go outside and eat dumplings.
The next morning, after getting up and changing out of his pajamas, Zhou Wansheng looked in the mirror and saw that the once hideous scars had been smoothed out!
He reached out and touched it in disbelief! There used to be keloid scarring here, and a dent around it! Now it's all smooth! Although it's not completely healed yet, it's recovered like this in just one night! That ointment is truly amazing!
"Why are you taking so long to get dressed in this freezing weather? What are you doing?!" Wang Yanzhi had already changed her clothes and was about to put on makeup when she saw the other person staring blankly in the mirror, and she called out in annoyance.
"Old woman, my scars are mostly healed!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yanzhi remembered the ointment she had applied for him the previous night, so she got up and walked behind Zhou Wansheng.
I reached out and touched the gruesome scar from the gunshot wound. The skin, which looked terrible last night, now looks like it's just started to scab over! The skin is so thin! The surrounding, less serious areas are already starting to turn red! Not the swollen kind, but more like skin is growing back!
"Where did you buy this ointment! It should be the right one this time! Apply it again, and maybe it will be fine! Where did you buy it?" Wang Yanzhi asked in surprise.
Zhou Wansheng turned around, looked at the old woman excitedly, and said in a deep voice, "It was given by Ayin!"
The old lady asked in surprise, "Where did she buy it?"
"She made it! She told me to take it to a factory to produce and then sell it, saying it could remove scars and stimulate skin cell growth! It could also be used on large areas without any side effects! I didn't really believe it, so I tested it on myself, and look at the result!"
The old lady was stunned, and excitedly grabbed Zhou Wansheng: "It really was made by Ayin!"
"Really!" Zhou Wansheng could imagine how popular this plaster would be once it hit the market! His granddaughter was truly amazing!
The old lady spun around excitedly twice: "Ah Yin is so amazing! I have to tell my older sister this good news!" After saying that, she stopped doing her makeup and immediately went to find Old Lady Gu.
Zhou Wansheng quickly changed his clothes, not caring whether it was the New Year or the Patent Office was closed for the holiday. He told everyone, took the data Gu Yin had given him, and went directly to find Old Master Chu to ask him to put in a good word. The Patent Office then arranged for someone to come and receive Zhou Wansheng.
