At the bidding reception, Song Foxiang revealed the inside story of his ghostwriting, exposing Zhao Dong's false persona and sabotaging Zhao Dong's bid, in exchange for Song Chan's opportunity to be an exchange student at Phillips Exeter Academy in the United States.
This is a famous private boarding high school in the United States. Song Chan became an exchange student in order to better apply to foreign universities.
Applying to a foreign university and being admitted to Yale are two different concepts. The latter is really too difficult. That is the world-renowned university where Xie Qian studied abroad in his previous life. Song Chan is really awesome!
Wen Ying was stunned for a moment, then sincerely congratulated: "Senior Song Chan is so outstanding!"
Of course!
Mr. Song’s daughter has always been the best!
Well, I can’t catch up with Wen Ying in terms of writing achievements for the time being, but I am definitely far ahead in academics.
It’s not that Song Foxiang wants to look down on Wen Ying, but Yale University only recruits a small number of students from China every year. To be admitted to this prestigious university, one needs not only hard skills but also soft skills, and luck is also a kind of soft power... In short, Song Chan’s application was successful this time, and Wen Ying might not be successful even if she copied Song Chan’s path. The probability is so small. How could Song Foxiang not be ecstatic?
It was he who insisted on winning custody of his daughter Song Chan during the divorce.
It was his years of unremitting training that finally allowed his daughter Song Chan to be admitted to a prestigious school!
When Song Chan was confirmed to be admitted to Yale, Song Foxiang immediately contacted his ex-wife and boasted about it.
His ex-wife didn't want to listen to his "Song family's excellent genes theory" and only said that she was willing to pay for their daughter's college tuition together. Song Foxiang refused, saying that he had raised his daughter on his own for so many years and didn't need his ex-wife's help now. The ex-wife's money should be left to the children born after the remarried family. It was enough for Song Chan to have him as a father and love her.
After so many years, the ex-wife still thinks that people with the surname Song are annoying. She said that when she was young, she was blinded by his talent and didn't care about anything else, so she married Song Foxiang. This was the worst decision in her life... Actually, it's not true. There was a sweet period when they first got married, and if she hadn't married Song Foxiang, she wouldn't have a daughter like Song Chan.
Even his ex-wife had to admit that Song Foxiang was not a good husband, but he was a good father.
His ex-wife objectively evaluated this fact. Song Foxiang felt that his ex-wife's words for praising him were too limited. He had been drinking with his good friend Editor Wan about ten times in the past few days. Every time, he would show off his daughter in a different way. Editor Wan would loudly agree with the praise after listening to it once or twice, but after the third or fourth time, the novelty had worn off. After the fifth time, it was all because of their long-term friendship that he was able to support it.
Everyone in the unit, from top to bottom, knew the good news.
Not to mention in 2006, even in a dozen years, if your child could be admitted to a prestigious school like Yale, it would be something to brag about!
Wen Ying had been avoiding Song Foxiang, the show-off, because she had no time to go to the magazine office recently. However, she didn't expect that she could not escape the fate of Song Foxiang, and was finally caught by him!
Ever since Wen Ying emerged out of nowhere and won the "first prize" together with Song Chan in the New Concept Writing Competition, Song Foxiang couldn't help but secretly compare his daughter Song Chan with Wen Ying.
Always competing, always losing.
The admission to Yale undoubtedly helped Song Chan close the gap.
However, Wen Ying's congratulations at this time were so sincere that Song Foxiang looked at her carefully for a long time and did not see any trace of jealousy. He felt that he was a little mean.
It's like a punch on cotton!
Perhaps, the person he should show off to is not Wen Ying herself, but Wen Ying's parents... Unfortunately, the other party is not active in the cultural circle of Chengdu, so he can't find anyone to show off to!
With this thought, Song Foxiang shook her hair and nodded modestly, "I can't say I'm too good, I can only say that there's still room for improvement. Wen Ying, you have to work hard too. Do you have Song Chan's contact information? If not, I'll give you an email address. You and Song Chan should keep in touch."
Wen Ying could completely understand the great poet Song's feelings, but Song Shao frowned. "Uncle, you've come to my house several times to brag about my cousin getting into Yale. Why are you here again tonight?"
Song Foxiang firmly denied: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not here to show off, I'm here to see your parents!"
Is it wrong for a younger brother to visit his brother and sister-in-law?
Song Foxiang hummed and waved his hand, walked around Song Shao and walked straight into the community.
Song Shao was embarrassed: "My uncle is just like that. He's not a bad person, but his personality is really annoying. Don't bother with him."
Wen Ying nodded. "Editor Song and I have always been in contact, and I'm used to his genuine nature. Besides, Senior Song Chan was able to get into Yale. If it were someone else, they might have been even more exaggerated than Editor Song! I sincerely congratulate Senior Song. She has truly experienced a whole new world abroad."
The ancients said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, which makes sense.
Just like Song Chan, this trip abroad took her out of her comfort zone. Not only was she successfully admitted to Yale, but judging from her recent works, her experience and thoughts have matured a lot!
Wen Ying's eyes were clear, and she didn't look unhappy at all. Song Shao laughed: "I underestimated your tolerance. It's getting late, so I won't keep you. We've really been in touch recently."
Wen Ying handed the fruit to Song Shao.
"Thank you so much for taking care of my cousin!"
"It's too polite to always say thank you."
Song Shao thought that the Wen family was still waiting, so he asked Wen Ying to go back quickly, and he himself walked home with two bags of fruit.
The house the Song family lives in now is the staff housing building of Song Shao’s mother’s unit.
Because Mother Song held a high position in the provincial hospital, the house she was allocated was quite large. Living here made it convenient for Mother Song to go to and from get off work, and life nearby was also very convenient, so even though the Song Shao family bought a better house, they did not move away.
