Chapter 43 Some are happy, some are worried
Cheng Xuyuan still doesn’t know how many points he got in the exam, but Shen Yumo already knows his score.
Looking at the manuscript in his hand, Shen Yumo's expression was calm.
Chinese 65, Mathematics 32, History and Geography 43, Politics 56, total score 196.
This score is about what I expected. My math skills are really far behind.
According to information my brother got, this score should be enough to get into a junior college.
But going to this junior college is a waste of time. After all, the job assigned to you after graduating from junior college may not be better than the current one.
It is better to work while participating in the self-study enrollment of the university.
In this way, you can work and get a diploma at the same time.
"Yumo, you have done very well in the exam. Do you know how low the acceptance rate is now? Let me tell you, it is less than 5%."
"Among them, many are enrolled in technical secondary schools."
Shen Yulin looked at his dejected sister and tried his best to comfort her: "In fact, you have surpassed most of the candidates, but in your current situation, it is not worthwhile to go to college."
"I heard that many universities are now preparing to resume enrollment in adult classes. You can attend adult classes while working."
"This way, I can study and work at the same time."
Shen Yumo nodded and said, "Brother, I understand."
Knowing that Shen Yumo had let it go, Shen Yulin couldn't help but comfort her: "Yumo, people's abilities and opportunities are different."
"You can change your destiny by taking the college entrance examination with your own abilities."
"But if this kind of thing happens to... to Cheng Xuyuan, can he change?"
Using Cheng Xuyuan as an analogy, Shen Yulin said it because it was easy to say; secondly, it was actually a subtle influence to make his sister not feel that she owed Cheng Xuyuan anything.
After all, there are very few opportunities to change your destiny.
They allowed Cheng Xuyuan to move to Yanjing and arranged a job for him. From this point of view alone, their family really didn't owe Cheng Xuyuan anything.
Shen Yumo opened his mouth, but in the end, no words came out.
She wanted to tell her brother that the article he liked, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", was written by Cheng Xuyuan.
But looking at her brother's appearance, she finally didn't say it.
"Brother, second sister, what are you talking about?" Li Yufei, wearing a red jacket, rushed in hurriedly.
Compared with Shen Yumo, she is taller, with a youthful and beautiful face that is as delicate as a baby's, and she looks full of energy.
Li Yufei's surname is her mother Li Xueling's, but this does not affect the fact that she is the most favored child in the family.
Shen Yulin is very fond of this little sister.
He smiled and said, "I was just talking about your second sister's college entrance examination!"
Li Yufei asked, "Second sister, how did you do in the exam?"
"It's just enough to go to college." Shen Yumo was very doting towards his younger sister, and always had a faint smile on his face when he talked to her.
Li Yufei was stunned for a moment, then said: "Second sister, you are already very impressive. You have been working hard in the past few years and have never been to school. You can get such a high score in the exam."
"The older brothers and sisters of several of my good friends failed to even get into technical secondary school because they delayed for too long."
"I heard from my friends that many of them have chosen to give up."
"Sister, you are so awesome!"
Hearing this considerate little sister say this, Shen Yumo smiled and said, "Okay, don't try to comfort me."
"I know I'm far behind, so I'll focus on my work."
Li Yufei asked curiously, "Sister, how are you doing as an editor? I heard from my teacher that a qualified editor must at least be a qualified author, is that right?"
"Your teacher is right. Several editors in our editorial department are very capable."
“Many of their articles have been recognized by readers.”
Shen Yumo put down the report card in his hand and said with a smile: "Take my teacher Sister De Ning for example, what she wrote is very good."
"Compared to her, I am far behind."
Li Yufei said: "Sister, you don't have to underestimate yourself. I think as long as you are familiar with the work, you will be able to catch up."
"By the way, sister, didn't you say that Xu Lingyun, the author of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", was going to your editorial department to revise the manuscript? Have you met him? What kind of person is he?"
At this point, Li Yufei didn't wait for Shen Yumo to respond, she grabbed her sister's arm and said expectantly: "Sister, can you take me to see him?"
Shen Yumo, who had been smiling, suddenly became serious.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Little sister, you have to look at the author and the characters in the novel separately. You can't confuse the two."
"You can admire the characters in the book, after all, that is the author's beautiful conception, he will shape the characters very ideally, but in real life, you can't transfer your fantasy or admiration for the characters to the author himself."
Li Yufei was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect that her second sister would speak to her so seriously just because she said it casually.
She couldn't help but said, "Second sister, I just want to ask about Xu Lingyun's situation. You are making a big fuss about it!"
Although Shen Yulin was a little puzzled by Shen Yumo's reaction, he didn't say anything. Both sides were his sisters, and he didn't want to get involved.
After all, getting involved is a thankless task.
Shen Yumo seemed to realize that his attitude was a bit too serious. He smiled to cover up his gaffe and said, "What I just said was what Teacher Zou told me."
"As for Xu Lingyun, I was delivering materials when he came, so I didn't see him."
"I heard from Teacher Zhang Dening that he has already finished revising the manuscript and has even received the manuscript fee in advance."
"You probably won't be visiting our editorial office again in the short term."
Li Yufei heard this answer and said with a bit of regret: "I was planning to discuss 'The Pursuit of Happyness' with him, but now there is no chance."
Seeing his sister's lost look, Shen Yumo's lips tightened even more.
…
Sitting in front of the desk with a slightly lame leg, Cheng Xuyuan looked at the manuscript paper with nearly 20,000 words of "Things about the Ming Dynasty". For some reason, he felt a little reluctant.
Although this is just a warehouse of the unit, it is the place where he has lived the longest since he came to this world.
Although this place is very simple, I really feel reluctant to leave!
Picking up the pen, Cheng Xuyuan prepared to continue writing.
However, when I thought about the fact that I had already finished writing the manuscript for next month, I suddenly lost the motivation to continue writing.
The magazine that Meng Dezhi mentioned is updated too slowly.
Only one issue comes out a month, so by the time this book is finished, it will be seven or eight years later.
But what else should I write if not "Things about the Ming Dynasty"?
If you want to eat well, you have to produce more articles! What's more, writing is the easiest thing for me.
Even though I have a lot of wonderful ideas now, none of them are suitable for me to do.
“Boom boom boom!”
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about what to write next, there was a sudden knock on the door.
In the dead of night, I heard a knock on the door in the warehouse of my company. This...
Just when some terrifying images appeared in Cheng Xuyuan's mind, he heard someone say, "Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng, I'm Lao Li, are you in the house?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He could tell that the person calling him was Old Li.
He immediately opened the door and invited Old Li in.
Old Li stood at the door and said, "Xiao Cheng, I won't go in. This afternoon, Director Niu asked me to tell you that there was an emergency at home, so you should call back quickly."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan's expression changed.
This is the first round of recommendations, and I am very nervous. Dear friends, I would like to ask for your support! For a book, whether it can take the next step or not, it is very important to read it. I would like to ask the brothers who like this book to step on it every day!
