(Starting from this chapter, two chapters will be combined into one, with 4,000 words in each chapter)
Pei Tiantian was extremely surprised. She spread out all the drawings and looked at them all.
I found that there were indeed quite a few papers with the word "He" in the lower right corner, some of which had been wiped clean and some did not.
He, could that be Bao Baobai’s last name?
Pei Tiantian thought it was very likely.
Pei Tiantian opened the white letter paper and looked at the contents on it.
Bao Baobai told her that he was drawing comics without telling his family and that he was still a few months away from becoming an adult, so he could not sign a formal contract with legal effect with her for the time being and hoped that she would forgive him.
As for the price for the cooperation, Bao Baobai proposed 300 yuan for 10,000 words, but she didn't know if she could accept it.
Pei Tiantian calculated the manuscripts she had sent out so far, which amounted to about 150,000 to 160,000 words. This means she could get 4,800 yuan in comic adaptation fees.
Pei Tiantian was quite satisfied with this number. She stared at the letter and suddenly a character flashed through her mind.
In the novel, after the villain returned to the He family, he defeated all opponents a few years later and became the one in charge of the He family.
It can be said that all those in the He family who opposed him suffered, even his biological father.
There is only one person, and that is Mr. He’s youngest son He Zhixing, who is also the uncle of the villain.
He is an extremely Buddhist person who never participates in power struggles and never appears in public.
Because of this, the villain not only did not deal with He Zhixing, but also respected him very much, and the two even got along very well.
After He Zhixing came back from abroad, the villain boss went to pick him up in person.
He Zhixing is about eight or nine years older than the villain.
According to this calculation, Bao Baobai is most likely He Zhixing.
Otherwise, the other people in the He family wouldn’t be able to match the number.
Pei Tiantian pondered for a moment.
Anyway, when Bao Baobai sends her the contract, she will be able to see his real name.
Now everything is just her guess.
Pei Tiantian shook her head, packed up her drawings, wrote a reply letter, expressing her agreement with Bao Baobai's proposal, and sent the letter out.
Because Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu made great progress at the end of last semester, their grades were no longer the last in the class. Although they were in the middle and lower ranks, this was enough to surprise the Pei family, and they all praised Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong for their good teaching.
But Pei Tiantian did not relax the intensity of tutoring her two cousins, after all, they wanted to be successfully admitted to the middle school in the city.
Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu's current performance is still far from enough.
There is still more than a year before the transition from primary school to junior high school, and there is not much time left for my two cousins to study.
At first, Pei Tiantian just didn't want them to drop out of school like in the novels. But after teaching for a while, she found that her two cousins were not completely hopeless.
Pei Tiantian set a higher goal, which was to help Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu successfully enter the city's middle school, complete junior high school and high school, and strive to get into college.
Of course, Pei Tiantian was just thinking about it in her mind and did not let Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu know, so as not to put pressure on them.
After the results of the China Cup final came out, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong both scored a perfect score of 150 points, and unsurprisingly won the first prize and a bonus of 500 yuan.
The number of first prize winners is the top 6% of the finalists, but there are only five students in the city who get full marks.
Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong took up two of the places.
Therefore, when the school leaders learned about Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong's scores, their faces almost broke with laughter.
This time their school really got some glory.
Among the remaining six students, only Wang Ying won a prize, the third prize, with a score of 125, which was exactly the qualifying score for the third prize.
Although not as good as Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong, she is still very good.
As for Ding Qiang, he scored 124 points this time, just one point less than the qualifying score for the third prize.
He was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet in the classroom.
Pei Tiantian also found it a little funny when she heard the news.
In the previous competition, Ding Qiang won the third prize by two points less, but this time he was one point less, and missed the prize again.
This shows how bad Ding Qiang's luck in winning awards is.
In order to celebrate Pei Tiantian, Gu Rong and Wang Ying winning the awards, the school leaders hung a huge banner at the school gate, which was not taken down until a whole month later.
He even held a grand award ceremony and personally presented awards to the three of them in front of all the teachers and students in the school.
Although Pei Tiantian felt it was a bit troublesome, she still cooperated with the school's actions obediently.
However, what Pei Tiantian is most worried about right now is the lunch problem for herself and Gu Rong.
Xie Jiagui had already found a shop in the city and selected an auspicious day to move there. This meant that she and Gu Rong would have nowhere to eat at noon.
Pei Tiantian had just told Tao Jing about her concerns, and Tao Jing reported them to the school leaders. Unexpectedly, the principal made a prompt decision and asked Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong to have lunch with the teachers from now on.
Pei Tiantian also developed some affection for the principal.
Well, she would reluctantly forgive them for harassing her and Gu Rong before.
However, this good impression came and went quickly. Not long after, something happened that made Pei Tiantian's impression of the principal instantly plummet to the bottom.
Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong won the first prize in the final of the China Cup. Almost all the famous middle schools in the city have extended olive branches to them.
As long as they agree, they can sign an agreement with the target school in the first semester of the sixth grade and go directly to this middle school without having to take the primary school to junior high school entrance examination.
Tuition and miscellaneous fees are waived, and the school even provides corresponding living expenses every month.
Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong both had the goal of attending No. 1 Middle School, and of course they had no intention of considering any other schools.
In addition, Tao Jing was originally a teacher at No. 1 Middle School, so Tao Jing took the lead in bringing teachers from the Admissions Office of No. 1 Middle School and asked Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong to decide on the school.
Unexpectedly, Pei Tiantian accidentally learned from Ma Xiangdong that the school principal had somehow reached a verbal agreement with No. 3 Middle School to directly transfer her, Gu Rong and Wang Ying to No. 3 Middle School.
For Wang Ying, it was like pie in the sky.
Although No. 3 Middle School is slightly worse than No. 1 Middle School, with her third-class score, she cannot be directly admitted to No. 1 Middle School. The policy of No. 1 Middle School is only to reduce the score by 20 points.
Under such circumstances, No. 3 Middle School is the best choice for her.
But considering Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong's grades, it would be unfair for them to go to No. 3 Middle School.
What Pei Tiantian didn't expect was that the principal actually reached a verbal agreement with No. 3 Middle School on his own initiative without their consent.
This is too much.
What does this black-hearted principal mean?
Pei Tiantian clenched her fists in anger.
Needless to say, the principal must have some unknown interest relationship with No. 3 Middle School, so he wanted to send them there.
Pei Tiantian angrily told Tao Jing and her class teacher Ma Xiangdong about this matter.
After hearing this, the two of them also looked cold.
The competition results belong to Tiantian and Gu Rong themselves. Why should the principal choose a school for them?
Ma Xiangdong and Tao Jing went straight to the principal's office and had a big argument with him. In the end, the principal was forced to promise to cancel the agreement with No. 3 Middle School.
Tao Jing also made a prompt decision and decided to go back to the city immediately to help Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong decide on No. 1 Middle School.
Before leaving, Gu Rong found her.
As soon as Tao Jing saw Gu Rong, she knew what he wanted to ask, "Gu Rong, you want to ask if reaching an agreement with No. 1 Middle School now will affect your application for the junior class, right?"
Gu Rong was slightly startled, then nodded.
Entering No. 1 Middle School through a competition was originally his backup plan. If he failed to get into the junior class of No. 1 Middle School, he could also enter No. 1 Middle School based on his competition results.
"Don't worry, because you are only in the fifth grade now. The real direct promotion agreement will not be officially signed with you until the end of the first semester of the sixth grade."
Tao Jing paused for a moment and said, "But do you really still want to study in the junior class?"
Gu Rong looked at Tao Jing with some doubt in his eyes.
"If you are admitted to the junior class, it means that you and Tiantian will be separated. Tiantian is only six years old, and the admission qualification for the junior class is ten years old, so she can't go to school with you. But you will go to college after four years in the junior class, and Tiantian will still be in the first year of high school. One of you will go to college and the other will go to high school. You won't study in the same school or even in the same city."
Tao Jing looked at Gu Rong and said softly, "I was just wondering, are you really willing to leave Tiantian?"
Gu Rong suddenly froze in place.
In the past, he would have nodded without hesitation.
But now, Gu Rong began to waver in his decision.
If he went to the junior class of No. 1 Middle School, Pei Tiantian would go to junior high school and high school step by step.
Because of the differences in their circles, he and Pei Tiantian will drift apart sooner or later.
Gu Rong was silent for a moment.
He wanted to convince himself that studying in the junior class was what he had always been pursuing.
However……
Gu Rong lowered his eyes, feeling a little stuffy in his chest.
Tao Jing patted his head and said, "Think about it carefully. The teacher doesn't want you to make a decision that you will regret."
Tao Jing could see how good the relationship between Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian was. Pei Tiantian was Gu Rong's only friend.
Gu Rong only wants to stay with her.
If Gu Rong went to the junior class alone, Tao Jing would honestly worry that Gu Rong would return to his previous lonely state.
Although the junior class is good, there is more to life than just this path.
"Brother Gu Rong, what are you whispering to godmother behind my back? It's so mysterious." Pei Tiantian said, supporting her little chin.
Gu Rong's dark eyes suddenly looked towards Pei Tiantian. Pei Tiantian noticed Gu Rong's gaze and raised her eyes to meet his eyes, and found that he was in a bad mood.
Pei Tiantian frowned: "Brother Gu Rong, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Rong wrote in his notebook: "I will take the exam for the junior class in the second half of the year."
Pei Tiantian looked at the line of words and was stunned.
Of course she knew what the junior class was, and only No. 1 Middle School in the city had a junior class.
Almost all the students in the junior classes are gifted children with extremely high IQs. They only need to study for four years to go to college, and their examination format is also different from the ordinary college entrance examination.
Even those who perform well in the junior class can be admitted to top domestic universities in advance.
Pei Tiantian had thought about studying in the junior class, but she couldn't pass the age requirement alone.
The minimum age to enter the junior class of No. 1 Middle School is ten years old.
She was still young, so Pei Tiantian had no plan to attend the junior class.
But Gu Rong is almost ten years old this year.
It seems that he is indeed qualified to take the entrance exam for the junior class.
Pei Tiantian didn't know what to say. Based on her understanding of Gu Rong, he would have no problem getting into the junior class if he wanted to.
But if this is the case, one of them will study in the junior high school department of No. 1 Middle School, and the other will study in the junior class of No. 1 Middle School, wouldn’t they be separated?
Moreover, they can no longer take the college entrance examination together or go to university together.
When she thought of this, the three big words "No" instantly popped up in Pei Tiantian's mind.
Pei Tiantian pursed her lips and looked at Gu Rong with innocent grape eyes, thinking about how to persuade Gu Rong to give up this idea, "Brother Gu Rong, please don't go to the junior class. The courses in the junior class are much more arduous than those in ordinary middle schools. I don't want you to be too hard. Please don't take the exam, okay?"
Gu Rong's eyes were still fixed on her, and he said nothing.
Pei Tiantian suddenly thought that she was being a little too selfish. Just because she didn't want to leave the villain, she didn't allow him to go to the junior class.
Then what is the difference between her and the black-hearted principal of their school?
If he could enter the junior class, it would definitely be more beneficial than harmful to Gu Rong's future.
Pei Tiantian suppressed her complicated emotions and said softly, "Brother Gu Rong, I'm sorry, I just said the wrong thing. If you want to go, go ahead. I believe you will pass the exam."
Although she said that, her baby voice was trembling, and everyone could hear the grievance in it.
Gu Rong looked at the little girl's moist grape eyes and bulging cheeks, and his eyes suddenly softened for a moment.
He picked up a pen and wrote on the notebook: "No more exams."
When Pei Tiantian saw these three words, her eyes widened and all the grievance and discomfort in her heart disappeared.
She looked at Gu Rong with sparkling eyes and blurted out subconsciously: "Brother Gu Rong, why don't you go again?"
Pei Tiantian had some expectations in her heart, wondering if the villain couldn't bear to part with her, so he gave up studying in the junior class for her.
Gu Rong's pen moved on the paper again, and he wrote a line of words, "Didn't you say it was very hard? Then I won't go."
Pei Tiantian looked at the line of words, then glanced at Gu Rong, raising her eyebrows proudly.
Humph, this stubborn villain obviously gave up the decision to go to the junior class just for her sake, but he still refused to admit it and even used her words to shut her up.
Pei Tiantian curled her eyes and poked the villain's arm with her little fleshy hand, "Brother Gu Rong, even if you don't say it, I know that you just can't bear to leave me."
When Gu Rong heard this, he felt a heat rushing to his face. He turned his head to the side, leaving only his two red ear tips exposed.
－－－－－－－Off topic－－－－－－－
Let me tell you all that yesterday I originally published two chapters of 2,000 words each, and then my average subscription dropped drastically. When the author saw the data, he almost cried.
So in order to make the data look better, I will combine the two chapters into one chapter, that is, each chapter has 4,000 words. I hope you can forgive me (?﹏?)
ps: Regarding the issue of book coins for each chapter, the price is determined by the system based on the number of words. A chapter with 2,000 words is 10 book coins, and a second chapter with 4,000 words is 20 book coins. I really did not raise the price, and the author does not have this right (?_?)
