Chapter 88 Special Training
"How was it? Did the process of recognizing relatives go smoothly today?"
After the family dinner, Yu Wan chatted with her family for a long time. It was almost eleven o'clock when she was taken back to her room by her sister. Then she received a message from Liu Lianfang.
She didn't follow me today.
What a joke. They are acknowledging each other as relatives, so what’s the big deal about her following them?
Although he was not present, he was always paying attention to the affairs of the Yu family. When he estimated that the time was almost up, he immediately sent a message to Yu Wan.
Yu Wan thought for a moment and replied, "It went very smoothly."
Except for one thing, according to the plan given to her by her family, she seemed to be going to attend some kind of guild university?
After the party, her sister explained a lot about the Guild School to her, and she learned a lot.
But that doesn't mean she wants to study.
If I don't inherit the company, can I not go to school?
As soon as this thought came to my mind, Xiaoyao sent me a message.
【Xiaoyao: No, you have to go and study.】
Yu Wan: "...Have you studied there before?"
【Xiaoyao: Yes, of course I was just as resistant to it as you were at first, but I eventually had to read it.】
Yu Wan was extremely unhappy, "Why? Can't you just not inherit the company?"
[Xiaoyao: I thought so at first, but then things started to go wrong at home and my family business was taken over by someone else. If I wanted to take it back, I had to go to the Guild University.]
Yu Wan understood instantly that Xiaoyao contacted her in order to change the fate of his family. Since she had to go to this university, it would be better to go in the morning than in the evening.
While I was thinking, Xiaoyao sent me another message.
【Ding Dong! 】
[Xiaoyao: School will start in a month. Be prepared. I can make it through it, and so can you. Come on!]
Yu Wan, "Can you tell me more about this school? How is the assessment conducted specifically?"
【Ding Dong! 】
【Xiaoyao: The so-called culture is to see the foundation of previous learning. In fact, it is the comprehensive science test. The full score is 300 points. If you can pass the test, you will pass. Then there is horse riding and archery. These two are somewhat combined. At the beginning, you learn to jump over the hurdles. After successfully jumping over the hurdles, you can ride a horse and shoot archery. There are a total of ten targets. If you can hit two, you will pass. After all, it is a place to cultivate personal connections and social interactions. You can't set too high a standard. Then there is chess. There is nothing to say if you win two out of three.
The last part is investment, which requires everyone to make 50 million dollars through investment before graduation. 】
Yu Wan was dumbfounded. "Five years? I still have to study for another five years. I'll be old by the time I graduate."
【Xiaoyao: Not necessarily. Some people can graduate early, so maybe you can, too?】
"What do you mean?"
【Xiaoyao: It is not a hard and fast rule to study for five years. If someone is very capable and can master literature, horse riding, archery, chess, and investment within one year, then basically they only need to study for one year.】
Isn't this a top student? Yu Wan asked, "Are there such people?"
【Xiaoyao: Yes, I think there was only one, and he was able to finish all the subjects within a month.】
Yu Wan: "Who?"
【Xiaoyao: I haven’t seen him. After all, I entered school late, and he has long gone to nowhere, and I am too lazy to ask.】
Yu Wan didn't understand. "Isn't it said that the purpose of this school is to cultivate connections and social skills, so it's set at five years? Graduating so quickly doesn't meet this standard?"
[Xiaoyao: The school has a rule that no matter what, you need to stay in school for a full year before you can graduate.]
Yu Wan, "Okay, but this special case is of no reference to me. Even if I am educated, others are not."
【Xiaoyao: Why can't I do other things? For example, investment, you have already practiced it, but you still don't know the answer? And riding a horse, archery and playing chess, you have also tried them before, how can you know if you don't try?】
Yu Wan collapsed on the bed. "The point is, I haven't touched it for a long time. I guess I have almost forgotten it."
[Xiaoyao: Don’t panic. We will have special training within a month. We will take whatever we can get. Even if it saves us two or three years, it will be good.]
Special training?
It's only one month left, wouldn't she be exhausted to death?
[Xiaoyao: For horse riding and archery, you can find someone to practice with in your own paddock. For Go, you can go and learn from Mr. Wei. He is the president of the Imperial Capital Go Club. This Go Club is not open to ordinary people, but didn’t he promise to give you something as a gift last time? You can ask him to make an exception and let you practice hard for a month.]
Yu Wan uttered a sad cry, "Ah?"
【Xiaoyao: I won’t hurt you, just listen to me! 】
Just like that, Yu Wan started a month of special training!
First, on the second day, she told her sister Yu Sang about her idea. She thought Yu Sang would think she was too eager for success and would persuade her to take it slow. However, Yu Sang's reaction was beyond her expectations.
Yu Sang said, "You are worthy of me! If you had studied quietly for five years, I would have thought that was unlike you. This kind of special training idea is in line with your personality. I am optimistic about you!"
Yu Wan: "..." How did she give Yu Sang the illusion that she was so powerful?
Yu Sang added, "But it's a little hard to get into the Go club. It doesn't matter. I'll use my connections to get you in!"
"Where should it be sent to?" The Second Wife came to visit, or to be more precise, to see Yu Wan's jokes, but ended up hearing a bunch of nonsense. Of course she had to ask for clarification.
There is nothing to hide about special training. We are family and it cannot be kept secret anyway.
Yu Sang said it.
The Second Wife almost laughed out loud again. She had come to the right place. Otherwise, how could she have seen such a joke?
Yu Wan, a girl who grew up in the countryside, actually wanted to join the Go club? Was she dreaming?
To say that I was having a dream is an understatement. I must be seriously ill, otherwise how could I dare to have such thoughts?
Even though the second wife was complaining in her heart, she had to be polite. "It's not easy to get into the Go club. Although our Yu family is one of the eight great families, I heard that the Go club doesn't care about family background. If you want to get into the Go club, you have to go through many tests, otherwise you may not be able to get in."
How could Yu Sang not understand this truth?
That's why she said that you should find more connections. As long as you have enough connections, there is hope for any difficult task. If it really doesn't work, just spend money. As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. There is nothing in this world that money can't do!
Yu Sang was sharpening his sword, but heard Yu Wan say, "I will figure out the Go matter myself, so you don't have to worry about it. As for the horse riding and archery, please help me arrange something."
Yu Sang was surprised, "You're not going to join the Go Club anymore?"
Yes, when Yu Wan said that, Yu Sang thought she had given up on joining the Imperial Capital Go Club.
Just as he was about to persuade her, Yu Wan said, "I have my own arrangements for this matter."
Yu Sang didn't say anything. She knew her sister had her own ideas. "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll take care of everything about riding horses and archery. You can rest assured!"
This matter was spread by the second wife immediately, and soon, people in the circle knew that the new idiot in the Yu family was going to undergo a month of special training.
I also dream of joining the Imperial Capital Go Club.
The group of rich second-generations were all shocked.
