No matter how long and beautiful the summer vacation is, it will eventually pass. The summer vacation after the college entrance examination is relatively long, but by the end of September, most students need to set off for the university they have been admitted to.
Setting up a brand new school is not an easy task. There are thousands of things to consider. Qin Xiaoxia can still be a hands-off boss, but Cui Ying, who he arranged to serve as the principal, is extremely busy.
So in this situation, Cui Ying consulted many old teachers and professors who were recruited, and borrowed many rules from the practices of general schools. Even the approximate dates of winter and summer vacations were similar. On the one hand, this prevented these students from being too different from their friends, and on the other hand, it also saved trouble.
Gao Lun naturally had to set off as well. On the night when he received the notice, his father Lao Gao seemed particularly happy and even drank some wine during dinner, which was a rare occurrence.
However, when Gao Lun asked his father how much he knew about the school, Old Gao was also vague, which made Gao Lun very curious.
The admission letter from this crappy school only gave an address and several ways to get there, and reminded students to prepare clothes and daily necessities. It didn't even mention the tuition fee, let alone anything else.
The requirement was to arrive at the school before October 10. Gao Lun calculated that the address was abroad, and it was a place that looked desolate on the map.
Although the notice lists several ways to get there, I don't know how long it will take because I haven't tried them. It might take several days or even longer.
One of the advantages that Gao Lun inherited from his father is his sense of time. He is a very punctual person and would rather go early than procrastinate. Even if he is taking a train, watching a movie, or making an appointment with someone, he will definitely arrive a little early and leave enough time to feel safe.
This time was no exception. The notice suggested that one should leave 5 days in advance to go to school, so he simply went more than ten days in advance.
At noon on September 25, Gao Lun came out of his home dragging a suitcase and carrying a backpack. His parents did not go to work that day, but accompanied him out.
They went downstairs and drove to the train station. Along the way, Gao's mother kept reminding him of things to pay attention to. When she arrived at the exit of the train station and watched her son get off the train and pick up his luggage, she kept repeating the same things she had said many times.
"Be careful on the road!"
"If you encounter any problems, call home immediately. Don't be too stubborn at school. Build good relationships with your classmates and roommates..."
Gao's mother stood beside the car, looking at the luggage reluctantly.
"Have you brought enough clothes? Have you forgotten any daily necessities?"
Gao Lun's ears were callused from listening so much, but he still listened patiently.
"Mom, we've checked many times, and if there's really not enough, I can buy it at school. I've checked, and there are usually a lot of places selling things in universities, which is very convenient. This university, uh... should be similar."
Lao Gao nodded at his son.
"When you get there, be more humble and polite, learn more useful knowledge, and... don't be afraid to spend money!"
Gao Lun's eyes lit up when he heard the last sentence.
"Dad, tell me the truth about our family's wealth. You've been in power for so long..."
"You little bastard! Are you plotting against me? Get lost!!"
Gao Lun curled his lips and looked at his mother who was laughing because of the bickering between father and son.
"Mom, I'm leaving now. Dad, I'm leaving now!"
"Uh-huh!"
When Gao Lun was about to enter the station entrance, Gao's mother shouted a few more words.
"Keep warm!!! If the school has air conditioning, don't turn it on all night!!!"
"Got it~~~~"
Ten minutes later, Gao Lun passed the security check and got his ticket. His parents outside should have gone back.
He opened his phone and looked at the photo album. On it was a picture he had taken of his admission letter, so he could check the information at any time.
"Hey... I don't know what it's like over there. There's no major, and I don't know if there are many girls!"
Then looking at the way to get to school, he needed to take a train to a small city in the southwest of China. And, Gao Lun had a ticket in his pocket, which was sandwiched in the red envelope together with the notification letter.
It is called a ticket because there are two addresses on it, the destination city like ordinary air tickets or train tickets, and then there is an arrow at the back pointing to the name of the school.
But it doesn't look like a normal ticket, because there is no time or date on the ticket, nor does it indicate whether it is a bus or a train. There is only an address on the back.
"It can't be a plane anyway. That small southwestern city doesn't even have an airport!"
In addition to wondering what kind of ticket this was, Gao Lun was also worried that he might go too early and not be able to leave.
Sitting in the high-speed rail station waiting for the train, I looked up and saw many people who looked like students waiting for the train. This time period is the peak time for students to go to school.
After a while, the high-speed train arrived at the station, and Gao Lun found his seat while dragging his luggage.
There were already two boys sitting at the next seat. As soon as Gao Lun put down his luggage and sat down, they started talking to him.
"Dude, you're going to college too, right?"
"Huh? Ha yeah, you guys too?"
Gao Lun also responded with a smile, saying that the journey was a bit far and it would be nice to have someone to chat with.
"Yeah, we didn't know each other before, but we both got admitted to Yunnan University. Isn't that a coincidence? Where are you going, buddy?"
Gao Lun didn't know what to say.
"Ahaha, forget it. I feel like I made the wrong choice and am going to a university I've never heard of..."
"Well, man, there's really no difference between a good school and a bad school..."
The other two were a little embarrassed. They were afraid that Gao Lun would think they despised the other for not getting into a good university, so they quickly changed the subject and talked about movies and games.
Then the topic returned to the majors they chose. The two of them were both majoring in science and engineering, which would facilitate their future employment. When Gao Lun heard about it, he was still speechless and could only make up a science major.
"By the way, when I was filling out my application this time, I discovered a super weird school!"
It's obvious that you, the person sitting next to me, are a chatterbox, or you're just too excited to be quiet for a moment.
"Look, this is the school I took a picture of on my phone!"
He took out his phone and clicked on the photo. Gao Lun and another person went over to take a look.
Ha! It's really a coincidence that it is Gao Lun's school. But I guess there are not many schools that can be called weird.
"Don't you think this school is weird? Who would dare to apply without any information? And the scores are so high. Although it says there will be other assessments and the scores may not be the basis, the scores posted outside are enough to apply to the best schools, right?"
"That's right, I've seen this school before, and I've discussed it with my classmates. If it wasn't really found on the Ministry of Education website, we wouldn't know if it was a mistake. Anyway, I don't know who applied for it."
Gao Lun smiled brightly but didn't dare to say anything, as he was one of them.
This high-speed rail line was only opened last year. It is nearly 3,000 kilometers from Kyoto to Yunnan Province, and it takes more than ten hours even by high-speed rail.
Sitting with a chatty person has its pros and cons. It will definitely make you less bored, but forget about having a good rest, especially if the other person feels that they are already familiar with you. You can only wait until the other person is tired and rest.
It was already early morning the next day when they arrived in Licheng. Most of the passengers had already gotten off the bus, and Gao Lun also got off with the crowd.
Although he has traveled several times since he was a child, this time is special. He is not familiar with this place, so the best way is to take a taxi from the high-speed rail station.
When he was pulling his luggage to the taxi station, many illegal taxi drivers along the way were shouting "where to go" and so on, but Gao Lun just kept his head down and drove forward without paying any attention to them.
Having suffered several setbacks, he knows that this kind of illegal taxi not only requires longer waiting time but is also very deceptive. The fares are sometimes more expensive and the destination is often different. Although the queues at taxi stations seem to be long, the taxis come out faster and it is often your turn soon.
Half an hour later, Gao Lun stared blankly at the "ticket" in his hand. The name on it was New Yunjian Center. The name could be associated with many things, but when he got to the place...
Gao Lun repeatedly looked at the navigation on his phone and the building opposite.
It is an old park surrounded by a wall with many potholes. There are four or five buildings in total, the tallest of which is only four or five stories high. The decorative veneers on the outside have fallen off a lot, and it looks very dilapidated. Only the plants inside the park look abundant.
"What does this place have to do with a school? There doesn't seem to be any transportation, so could this be a school?"
Gao Lun was stunned outside, and looked inside. It was quiet, as if there was not even a living person. There was only a middle-aged man in the security booth who was not wearing a security uniform and was yawning and playing with his mobile phone.
A gust of hot wind blew by, and Gao Lun felt a little confused. He really wanted to call his dad and ask him what he had done.
“Hurry up, hurry up!!! Dad, hurry up!!! We’re here, we’re here, the New Yunjian Center hahahahahaha, here we are, I’m going to school!!! I’m going to meet lots of friends!!!”
A clear and cheerful laughter was heard. Gao Lun turned around and thought it was a girl, but it turned out to be a little boy about eleven or twelve years old. The man in a suit behind him should be his father.
'School? This kid?'
The little boy seemed to have just noticed Gao Lun standing across the road outside the park, and he ran over quickly.
"Haha, uncle, are you going to Hara Forest too? Of course, you have a pass!!"
Gao Lun looked at him.
"Little boy, are you going to this school too? Is this really the one?"
"Of course I understand. You are the brother who is in college, and you took the exam yourself?"
The child's eyes sparkled and he looked at Gao Lun with great interest.
The latter was stunned.
"You took the exam yourself? Or maybe you had connections to get in?"
"Uh, yeah, but I'm not sure how."
As he spoke, he was already looking at the man in a suit walking towards him from behind. He looked very ordinary, but very elegant. This was Gao Lun's feeling.
"Hello young man, my last name is Lin, and this is my son Lin Xing, he is 10 years old this year, and he is going to the elementary school department of Hara Forest, let's go in together!"
"Oh, okay!"
The other party's tone and expression were very kind, which made Gao Lun inexplicably relax a lot.
The three of them walked towards the park together. The child was chattering, while the man in the suit was chatting casually with Gao Lun. When they reached the door, the man in the security booth glanced at them sideways, nodded in the direction of the man in the suit, and continued playing with his phone.
Across the park, the vegetation inside is even more lush than it appears from the outside, and it’s all very nice to look at.
Gao Lun felt uncomfortable and felt that he had made the wrong choice.
"This way, young man."
The middle-aged man smiled and pulled Gao Lun, and they left the straight road in the park and turned left along the Z-shaped stone slab on the ground.
"ah?"
Gao Lun, at a loss, pulled the suitcase and followed the father and son as they turned left and right inexplicably. When they went around the side wall of the third building, Gao Lun felt something was increasingly wrong and didn't know whether he should leave. However, the man also stopped at this time.
"It feels weird, doesn't it, young man? Hahahaha. If I wasn't here, the security guard would tell you how to get there. Now it's easier for him."
The man smiled mysteriously.
"Don't be nervous. Follow me and take another step, and we'll be in Xinyunjian. Please take care of Xiaoxing when you're free at school."
Before Gao Lun could say anything, he was pushed hard by the child from behind. He staggered forward several steps and couldn't stop the car at all.
"Fuck, there's a wall in front of us!!!"
brush……
Gao Lun stretched out his hand to block the front, but he didn't feel that he hit the wall. The light also changed brightness, and then the sounds in his ears suddenly became much noisier, as if many people were chatting.
When he looked in the direction of the sound, his eyes suddenly widened.
This is……
"This is the real New Cloud Stream Center, the core secret place of the Dawn Association in Licheng, and also one of the transfer centers for students from the Hara Forest."
The voice of the man in a suit sounded nearby, and he looked around with Gao Lun.
There were children of different ages, quite a few adults, some young people who were reserved yet excited, and some people in strange costumes and even weird shapes, all chatting and greeting each other.
Gao Lun was a little confused. When did these people come? And what about those strange looking ones...
"Wait!!! You mean the Dawn Association? This is!!!"
Could the method of entry just now be some kind of barrier formation?
