Chapter 373 The College Entrance Examination Ends
As the college entrance examination month approaches, the atmosphere in schools becomes serious and tense. However, the teachers encourage the senior students to relax, adjust their emotions, and maintain a good mindset until the end of the exam.
Gu Yin also received many calls from acquaintances, from Hong Kong, Beijing, and even Wu Ye from Myanmar.
Gu Yin and Gu Shu were assigned to the same exam room, both at Jianggao Affiliated High School. The two elders, who had been arguing about who would accompany Gu Shu and who would accompany Gu Yin, no longer had to worry about it and went together!
Several days earlier, Gu Qinglang had booked a hotel near the affiliated high school.
So on the morning of the 7th, Gu Yin and Gu Shu, accompanied by a large group of people, went to the nearby affiliated high school.
Gu Le and Zhou Wansheng, a married couple, also returned.
Seeing the sea of people at the school gate, Zhou Wansheng said thankfully, "Luckily, Lao Chu is experienced and told me to prepare the RV. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have been able to stand here for long in this heat! Ayin and Ashu, see that black RV? That's ours. We'll be waiting for you there! There's something to cool you down in, and some good food and drinks. Don't go to the wrong place when you come out!"
Gu Yin and Gu Shu looked over there and saw a long black RV parked not far from the school gate, which could be seen at a glance as soon as you came out of the school gate.
The exam hall doors opened, and Gu Yin looked at everyone: "Then we'll go in first. You guys wait in the car. Judging from the weather, it doesn't look like it'll be sunny; it looks like it'll rain."
"Go on, go on! Good luck on your exams!"
"Exceptional performance!!"
"May you achieve top honors in the imperial examination!"
"Pay close attention to the question! Especially the essay question! I wish you all the best in writing!"
Gu Yin and Gu Shu waved goodbye, carrying the hopes of their families, their youth, the joys and sorrows of their journey, the resentment of two lifetimes, and the courage to start over! They stepped into the final judgment arena! Whether they soar to new heights or perish in the world, let the battlefield tell the truth!
Having learned from Chu Yan's previous exam experience, Gu Yin and Gu Shu would go straight to the RV after each exam and then return to the hotel. Although the journey was not far, it was quiet!
Reporters who knew Gu Yin was taking the college entrance exam waited outside the exam hall and hotel, making it more extravagant than any previous college entrance exam!
Fortunately, Zhou Wansheng made arrangements; otherwise, even if Gu Yin was prepared, she wouldn't have been able to get into the hotel without suffering a lot of trouble!
The scene was even more spectacular than the appearances of A-list celebrities in my previous life!
After three days of exams, Gu Yin packed up her things in the dormitory and had Gu Qinglang take them back. Then she went directly to Hong Kong City with Zhou Wansheng and Gu Le.
Everyone else had a graduation dinner. Gu Yin's original class was in the second year of high school, but because of the competition, she didn't seem to be very familiar with her classmates. Moreover, she was taking the college entrance examination alone, so there was nothing to celebrate. Therefore, she treated her former dormitory members Zhou Meng and Wan Qing to a meal, then had a meal with her teachers, and went to Gangcheng overnight.
The main reason for this trip to Hong Kong was that Zhou Wansheng said they wanted to celebrate after the results came out, and also announce their family's return to the Zhou family, and hold a grand welcome ceremony together.
Gu Yin came with a mission: to oversee the venue and costumes for the party. It wasn't really a mission, though, as there were professionals handling it. She was mainly there to have fun.
After filling out her college application, she had to go to Beijing to find her teacher immediately. Mr. Cheng originally told her to go right after the college entrance exam, but after learning about her family situation, he postponed it until after she filled out her application.
On his first day in the port city, Zhou Wansheng had several rows of clothes brought to the manor.
"These are all rather formal clothes. Starting tomorrow morning, you'll be coming to the company with me. Even if you don't inherit the company, you need to understand what our company does, the various departments, the most profitable projects, important partners, and so on. Don't let reporters or outsiders ask us about it and we still be clueless. If they write and spread rumors, it will affect your relationship with Ah Le. Besides, you'll be receiving dividends in the future. If you don't know where the income comes from, what if you suffer losses? You and Ah Le have no ulterior motives, but you can't guarantee that your spouses or children won't. Don't blame your grandfather for being materialistic; money is the easiest thing to tempt people!"
Gu Yin knew Zhou Wansheng's concerns, and she smiled and nodded: "I know, Grandpa, you can arrange it. As for the clothes, I don't have anything I want to choose, these are all suitable!"
So all those clothes were put into Gu Yin's dressing room. Each member of the family had their own dressing room, and all the clothes and jewelry inside were the latest custom designs from major brands. Not only that, the clothes inside were updated from time to time, whether they had been worn or not. It was incredibly extravagant!
Gu Yin glanced at the time; it was almost five o'clock. She looked at Zhou Wansheng and asked, "Grandpa, is A-Le about to get out of school?"
Zhou Wansheng raised his hand and nodded: "Yes, you're planning to pick him up?"
Gu Yin nodded: "I agreed to it last night!"
Zhou Wansheng stood up: "Then let's go. There's nothing to do now. I'll go with you, pick up Ah Le, and then I'll take you out to eat!"
For the first six months after Gu Le arrived, Zhou Wansheng personally picked her up and dropped her off. Later, as Gu Le became more familiar with the place, she asked to go by herself since she had a driver. Zhou Wansheng stopped accompanying her. Although he no longer picked her up and dropped her off, they ate breakfast and dinner together. In the evenings, Zhou Wansheng would also take Gu Le to work. Gu Le was very interested in these things and didn't find them boring.
When the two arrived at the international school, Gu Le had not yet finished class.
At school, Gu Le checked the time, took off his fencing uniform, and sat down in the rest area to start packing his things.
"Gu Le, it's Ai'er's birthday today, and she invited the whole class. Wait for me! We'll go together in a bit!" A boy who was on the field saw Gu Le packing his things and hurriedly called out.
"I'm not going, you go by yourself. I already told her when she invited me that I have to go home today!" Gu Le shook her head as she put on her shoes.
Upon hearing this, the boy waved to his opponent, then ran over to Gu Le, sat down next to him, and grabbed his arm: "Gu Le, that's Ai'er! She's the daughter of the Chief Secretary for Administration! You're just a mainland boy, and you finally have this opportunity to get close to these people, how can you not go! Those people outside can't even buy an invitation card even if they spend a fortune! We only have this opportunity because we're classmates! This is a crucial chance to infiltrate Ai'er's circle! Listen to me, you'll come with me after class. I've asked my dad to prepare two gifts, no need to thank me, you're my brother after all!"
Gu Le put on her shoes and said helplessly, "My family is coming to pick me up, so I won't go with you. You can go by yourself. Listen to me, if you can't fit into that circle, don't force it. Are you going to be their entertainment, just to be their slave? Is it worth it? Anyway, I'm not going. Think it through yourself!"
Xu Zhou pouted, "I don't want to either, but my dad works under Ai'er's dad, and he told me to please Ai'er. If I don't go to this birthday party, I'll definitely get a beating when I get home! Besides, my dad also said that as long as I integrate into that circle, my dad will have a chance to get a promotion and a raise, and there will be hope for our new house. You know, the money I spent on studying here has already used up all of our family's savings. My dad's workplace has a batch of cheap new houses, and my dad has a chance to get one, but there are many competitors, so tonight's birthday party is a breakthrough point!"
Gu Le nodded and patted his shoulder understandingly: "Then good luck! I'm going back now, my sister is waiting for me at the door!"
