——I wanted to help, but was rejected?!
Wen Ying's words made Chen Ru anxious. She wanted to kick Wen Ying under the table, but she was afraid that the noise would be too loud and Wu Chunqin would find out. She smiled dryly and glared at Wen Ying:
"There's a reduced admission score, so why not take it? This is the reward you deserve for participating in the competition."
"That depends on whether I like the school and the major. I can't just lower my score and go to a school I don't like. Lowering my score is a safety net, not my first choice... but I have to get first prize first."
Wen Ying was telling the truth, and Chen Ru was very angry.
Do you like it?
Chen Ru didn't think Wen Ying could get into the university where Wu Chunqin's husband was studying by relying on her own efforts.
Don’t talk about whether you like it or not. If they are willing to lower the admission score, Wen Ying shouldn’t be picky!
What’s the point of liking someone?
When you look for a job after graduating from university, employers will not look at your hobbies, but the reputation of the university you graduated from.
Chen Ru could hardly hold back the smile on her face, and she regretted not explaining the purpose of this meal to Wen Ying in advance.
I lost face and begged people for help, but was still ruined by this little girl.
The atmosphere between mother and daughter was a little awkward, but Wu Chunqin tried to smooth things over with a smile:
"Your girl is quite ambitious. It's a simple matter. It's us adults who make it too complicated."
Wu Chunqin comforted Chen Ru, then turned to Wen Ying to confirm, "Do you really know what you're doing? Auntie, I'm telling you the truth. You have an opportunity to go to a prestigious university right now, but if you don't take it, this opportunity may fall on someone else. It's good to have ambition, but I'm afraid that if your college entrance examination results aren't ideal in the future, you'll regret it when you think about what happened today."
Of course Wu Chunqin was willing to respect Wen Ying's choice.
Even if her husband is in a university, she would have to rely on connections to get this done. It's not like Wen Ying would be awarded the first prize just by asking for it. In other words, even if Wen Ying won the first prize, she might not meet the admission requirements of the school. What Wu Chunqin could do was to give Wen Ying priority for admission if she met the basic requirements.
After meeting Chen Ru yesterday, Wu Chunqin was thinking about this matter and went home to ask her husband for his opinion.
The husband did not refuse outright, but asked her to see how the child was first.
If you don't have any problems and are considered to be better than your peers, there's nothing wrong with giving them some help.
If you are impatient and hope to take shortcuts to get into a prestigious school, you must be cautious if you want to help.
Given the current situation of Chen Ru and her husband, Wu Chunqin wanted to help out of past friendship, not expecting Chen Ru to repay her.
Judging from the dimensions of social status, career height and income, they are no longer from the same class, and Chen Ru is unable to repay Wu Chunqin.
When they met today, Wu Chunqin could see that Chen Ru had educated her daughter well. Although Wen Ying grew up in a small city in the southwest, she was independent-minded and not petty at all. She was the kind of child who could be helped and would have better development in the future.
Unexpectedly, Wen Ying rejected Wu Chunqin's kindness.
Wu Chunqin was not annoyed, she was even a little happy.
It is certainly a good thing for young people to have ambition.
Wen Ying is quite similar to Chen Ru when she was young. Chen Ru would not easily accept other people's kindness.
The difference is that when Chen Ru was young, she was very tough and would never lower herself to ask for help. Wen Ying is ambitious, but she doesn't have the same hedgehog temper as Chen Ru. She can reject others without making them angry.
As for young people, Wu Chunqin wouldn't like them if they had no ambition at all.
But Wen Ying is too young now, so young that she has not experienced the harshness of society and does not know how much impact a higher starting point can have on a person's life.
Wu Chunqin gave up her teaching position at a university and resigned to start a company because she found the academic path was not feasible.
Although she improved her academic qualifications after working, took the postgraduate entrance examination and obtained a doctorate, and taught from a factory to a university, it seemed that she had made up for the gap in her first academic qualifications, but in fact it was not the case.
The barrier is there, invisible and intangible, but it really exists.
And the years she worked in the factory were a waste of her best years.
If she stayed in college, she would never be able to touch the real core circle and could not do her best. With Wu Chunqin's pride, she could not accept "settling".
Wu Chunqin now has a new career and is considered a successful person in the eyes of others, but she also has regrets.
——If Wu Chunqin could have anticipated the difficulties she would face today when she was in high school, she would have worked harder in her studies.
She can go to college.
I took the postgraduate entrance examination and studied for a doctorate while still in school.
She didn't have to waste those precious years!
She won't fall behind.
Wu Chunqin sighed, "This kind of regret may not come after you take the college entrance examination, or even after you graduate from university, but after...Xiaoying, you really need to think it over."
Wu Chunqin's words left Wen Ying and Chen Ru silent.
Wen Ying's silence was a recollection of her past life.
Ever since she refused to go back to her hometown to take the civil service exam and chose to come to Shanghai to work hard, she has experienced hardships and emotional breakdowns, but she has never regretted it.
Chen Ru felt as if she was immersed in cold water.
Isn’t Wu Chunqin talking about herself?
That kind of regret is not after the college entrance examination, not after graduation from university, but now!
