Shen Chunli and Erya each brought a bouquet of flowers and gave them to Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan respectively.

"Sister Xiaozhu, Brother Haonan, these two bouquets of flowers were all picked out by Sister Chunli one by one and made by herself. She said that it is meaningful to make them by hand."

Shen Zhizhu held the flower and couldn't let it go. He looked left and right and thought it was very beautiful.

"Sister Chunli has good taste. The flowers she selected look really nice together. I'll take them home later. Come on, I specially cleared that room. There aren't many people there. Eat as much as you want."

Shen Chunli was very familiar with the couple, so why would she be polite? She just insisted on leaving the private room.

"I bought these little things to make you two happy, but they are not worth taking home. Besides, these flowers will wither in three to five days, and they won't smell good, so you have to throw them away."

The flowers that were delivered were a bit big. Shen Zhizhu held them for a while and then wanted to change hands to hold them, but Xu Haonan took them away.

"Azhu, take Chunli and the others to the private room first. I'll find a place to put the flowers so they won't bump into each other later."

Shen Zhizhu nodded. She knew that the other party noticed that it was inconvenient for her to hold it.

Erya looked at the hotel and thought it was a really big place. She couldn't help but worry about the expenses.

"Sister Xiaozhu, I think this hotel is well decorated. You have reserved the entire lobby and several private rooms. It must be very expensive."

Although Shen Chunli offered Erya a salary higher than most jobs in the city, she felt distressed when she thought about spending so much of the money she had saved with great difficulty.

"Besides, you and Haonan will go to school in Beijing. You will spend money everywhere there. If you don't have enough, just tell Erya. Although I eat a lot, I also save a lot of money."

Shen Zhizhu was touched by Erya and thought the little girl was so cute. He reached out and patted her on the head.

"Don't worry, I'm your sister, and I know what's going on."

Shen Chunli also laughed out loud.

"Your sister Xiaozhu is very rich. So far, she has spent all her savings. It seems that there is still some left. Don't forget that she still has some money from me. It must be at least several thousand."

Looking at Erya's surprised expression, Shen Zhizhu found it extremely interesting.

"Don't worry, your brother Haonan went to the mountains to hunt a lot of wild game before the beginning of winter. He sold all the game and saved some money at home. Aunt Li also made some simple gifts for our store. According to the agreement, she will give me a sum of money every month."

Shen Zhizhu pointed to the hall.

"The owner of this restaurant is a nice guy. He knew that we were admitted to Peking University and said he would give us a discount. He also gave us two free dishes. All in all, it didn't cost us too much."

"Besides, our house caught fire on the eve of our exams, and many of our fellow villagers came to help. At that time, we said we would treat everyone to a meal, but now that it has been delayed until now, I feel embarrassed to just deal with it casually."

Erya didn't expect it to be like this, she just didn't understand.

"Why is the boss willing to give a discount? Is it just because Xiaozhu-san got into Kyoto University? Won't they lose money if they do that?"

Shen Chunli tapped Erya on the head.

"Silly, think about it. When the time comes, they will advertise that the two people who were admitted to the capital city had eaten at their restaurant. Moreover, Xiaozhu's ranking is very high. He is the top scorer in many subjects here. In this way, there will be no shortage of customers who come to their house for dinner. How can they lose money?"

Erya nodded in sudden realization, indicating that she understood now. It seemed that her business acumen still needed to be improved.

After sending the two to the private room, Shen Zhizhu returned to the door. When she returned, Xu Haonan was already there.

"Are you tired?"

Shen Zhizhu got up early today, put on makeup, and came to the hotel with Xu Haonan and has been busy ever since.

Xu Haonan is a person who is used to getting up early, but Shen Zhizhu is not. Her work and rest schedule is more flexible. Sometimes she goes to bed early, and often goes to bed late. She likes to work at night.

Unless there is something important in the morning, I don’t want to get up. Even if Xu Haonan calls me to have breakfast, I will do it with sleepy eyes.

He was worried that Shen Zhizhu would feel tired after getting up so early and being busy all the time.

"Go take a break. I'm here. Everyone is almost here. We can start soon. Go to the private room and chat with them for a while."

Shen Zhizhu was reluctant to leave Xu Haonan here alone.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. You said that almost everyone is here. It won't be too late to take a break after we finish the work."

"Congratulations to Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan. You are so competitive. You both got into Beijing. Hahahaha."

I heard his voice before I saw him. As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was Principal Gu, who had come with a group of teachers who taught Shen Zhizhu.

Gu Xueer trotted over and hugged Shen Zhizhu's arm.

"I knew that someone who could design such beautiful clothes and whose grades were so good must have done well in the exam. Wow, you got admitted directly to Kyoto University. There are so many candidates in our city, but you are the only one admitted to Kyoto University."

President Gu and the group of teachers were all honored and proud to be able to teach the only Peking University student in the city. They were really proud of it.

"You don't know that there are a lot of parents who come to the school in advance to ask if there are any vacancies. They want to send their children here, too. They say they also want their children to go to Beijing and see the prosperous city."

Principal Gu and the group of teachers praised Shen Zhizhu one by one, but Shen Zhizhu, who had been shameless for two lifetimes, felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

"Oh, it's you. What a coincidence! We are here to congratulate Xu Haonan for getting admitted to Beijing. He has achieved such good results in just a few months of study. He is truly gifted and hardworking."

The teachers and principals of the two schools gathered together and praised Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan one by one, saying that their students were talented and good at studying.

Gu Xueer couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hey, stop arguing. The couple got accepted to the same city, and their schools are not far from each other. Why bother about who is more talented? We are here to have a meal and congratulate them, not to quarrel."

Only then did they stop arguing embarrassedly.

"Then I'll take you to the private room."

Shen Zhizhu spoke with a smile and took the people from both schools to a separate private room that was specially reserved for them.
