Chapter six hundred and sixteen: explosion(2/2)
"It is not easy to study abroad at public expense, and success cannot be achieved by hard work."
"I know, but there is always hope if you work hard!"
"Are you that concerned about whether you can study abroad?"
"Yeah! It must be a dream."
"Actually, with your grades, it's not difficult to study in the United States. I can help you realize your dream."
"Really?"
"It's nothing. As long as you can find a guarantor to study abroad at your own expense and be admitted to another university, that's pretty much it!"
"Studying abroad at your own expense? How can my family afford such high expenses?"
"It doesn't matter. I'll help you pay for it?"
"How can it be done? It's not hundreds or thousands of dollars, it could be tens of thousands of dollars!"
"One hundred thousand dollars is nothing to me, as long as you need it, you can get it anytime!"
Zhang Chunmei seemed to be even happier, but she was proud. She refused: "I know you are good to me, but I don't want it. I have to rely on myself."
"You! You! We are not children anymore. We must know how to assess the situation. I think following the trend, taking advantage of it, and going with the flow are all things you need to learn seriously!"
"Giggle..., I'm preaching again, but I just like you like this. Just keep talking, I like to hear it!"
The little girl was in a very good mood, and she was next to Huang Han unknowingly as she walked.
She was reserved, but she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to hold Huang Han's arm, and it was impossible for her to hold hands with Huang Han. It seemed that she often held hands in the past. The memory was too far away. They were still primary school students at that time.
"I'm not preaching, but I sincerely teach you how to be flexible. Big leaders often say that you should take a detour when there is a red light!"
"But no matter what you say, I can't spend your money to study abroad!"
"You are so stupid. You can get a return on your investment. For example, if I lend you money to study abroad, you will definitely be able to earn US dollars after completing your studies, and then you can pay me back the money you lent me.
You are grateful and must have wanted to help me, so you tried your best to help my family sell their products to Europe and the United States. My family made a lot of money, so where did I suffer?"
"Giggle..., I know your eloquence. Anyway, no matter what you say, you are right. Alas! It's a pity that I am no longer a primary school student or a junior high school student, so I am not so easy to deceive."
"How did I deceive you? Do I have a bad record of deceiving you? Besides, why should I deceive you? What do I want?"
"You actually lie to me often..."
"I really didn't?"
"Can you listen to everything I say? You look a bit like Lu Yao."
When Zhang Chunmei mentioned Lu Yao, Huang Han immediately changed his mind and became serious.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I listen to you carefully and am ready to explain!"
"Giggle..., you don't need to explain. I knew it was a white lie from the moment you made such wild claims and insisted on refunding me the few dollars I spent to buy a "backpack."
"Ah! You were only a third-grade primary school student at that time, and you learned to pretend to be confused? You are too precocious!"
"Alas! I really wish I could still be a primary school student and sing "Velvet Flower" with you hand in hand, but I'm afraid I'll never be able to do that..."
At this moment, Zhang Chunmei couldn't help but feel so sad that her eyes were blurred with tears.
Huang Han's heartstrings were touched, what else could he say at this moment?
"There is a beautiful flower in the world, it is the beauty of youth..." he sang softly.
Zhang Chunmei kept up with the rhythm and sang together: "...There is a heroic flower in the world. It is the brilliance of youth. It carries relatives to the mountains and stands tall to welcome the colorful clouds..."
At this moment, Huang Han seemed to have returned to the past, and everything was happening again. Under the dim street lights, his skinny sister, his younger sister, his impoverished father...
"I want to be strong, I want to stand tall and look down at the crowd, and I must go to the United States to study." Zhang Chunmei raised her proud face again at this moment.
Suddenly, Huang Han felt his hand tighten. It was Zhang Chunmei who stretched out her soft, cotton-like catkins and took Huang Han's hand.
No, I have already passed the psychological age of Qingdao Tianliang for a long autumn, and I have understood the key points of life. How can I make a promise lightly or shoulder emotional debts indiscriminately?
He pretended to wave his arms in an impassioned manner, gently broke away from Zhang Chunmei's hand, and said:
"The world is very big, but we are very small. Study hard while you are young. You are the wisest and good at learning. If you can study in the United States, you will definitely be able to make a big difference in the future.
Poverty is only temporary. You will have millions and billions of wealth in the future. You really don’t need to mind that I gave you a trivial help when you needed money the most!"
Zhang Chunmei couldn't help but suddenly held hands with Huang Han for some reason. She kept feeling feverish on her face and was a little overwhelmed. At this time, she seemed to be relieved and could finally face it easily.
She said: "Do you really think I will be more promising if I study abroad?"
"Absolutely! If you want, you can go to college in the United States after graduating from high school. I can ask someone to help you find a guarantor. I guarantee that you can also be admitted to whichever university Shen Xiaorong went to and become her classmates again!"
"This, this, I can't make the decision, I have to ask my mother."
"I'm afraid your mother won't be able to bear you traveling across the ocean!"
"Well! That must be the case, alas! I can only think about it."
"That's not necessarily true. It's still a long time anyway. You often tell your mother about the benefits of studying abroad. I guess your mother will relax."
"I will definitely ask mom for permission."
The craze for going abroad is in the ascendant. Huang Han heard too many legends about Europe and America when he was a boy, probably in the mid-1980s.
The so-called hard life after going abroad was to eat chicken every day. Stories like this are circulated throughout China, and countless people who don’t have enough money in their stomachs laugh out loud when they hear it.
There are countless young people who yearn for Europe and the United States and are eager to go abroad. I believe that Zhang Chunmei’s mother will reluctantly give up her love for the sake of her daughter’s future.
The two walked around the playground three more times, and Huang Han talked a lot.
Most of them advised Zhang Chunmei not to mind lending her tuition fees for studying abroad, and told Zhang Chunmei that the money she earned from publishing albums was enough to cover the expenses of three or five international students.
After studying abroad and obtaining a degree, the opportunities are doubled. With Zhang Chunmei's wisdom, she will definitely be able to win through wind and rain. It will be easy for a strong person to return a favor.
Think about it six years ago, when I was selling tea eggs, who among the hundreds of people present would have thought of today?
One sentence can sum up Huang Han's long speech: "Don't bully young people to be poor. One day, the dragon will wear the phoenix. Don't believe that there will be holes in your pants for the rest of your life."
Anyway, the result was good. Zhang Chunmei figured it out and was willing to accept Huang Han's help, but she was worried that her parents would not be able to accept such a big favor.
Huang Han is confident and thinks that these things will not trouble him, but it is too early now.
When the time comes, he will talk to Zhang Chunmei's parents about their youth, their ideals, and establish a scientific outlook on development for them. This made Zhang Chunmei laugh and bend over.
As soon as the two of them entered the auditorium, Xiao Qiang ran over immediately and said, "You two are boring. You didn't call me after being out for so long. Why did you go?"
The rehearsals of Huang Han's team always attract a lot of spectators from the school. That's because Principal Guo has told the doorman that no one can enter the school gate on Sundays.
As long as the students who come to watch the rehearsal consciously do not make any noise, the teacher will basically not chase them away.
I'm afraid there must be four to five hundred students in the auditorium today, most of whom are freshmen and sophomores in high school.
Du Jia used to come to Huang Han's rehearsals, but she didn't come these two times because she was in the sprint stage of her third year of high school and time was even tighter.
Huang Han said: "We didn't do much. We just talked about Shen Xiaorong."
"Did Shen Xiaorong call you? How is she lately?"
"Okay, she has also formed a band and participated in an influential Grand Prix competition. She has reached the finals. If she can get the ranking, the prize money should be more than 100,000 US dollars."
In fact, Huang Han didn't know if there was a prize at all, nor how much it was. He thought that in a grand prix competition in the capitalist United States, the prize would not be too shabby, so he casually said, "More than one hundred thousand US dollars."
"Oh my god! One hundred thousand dollars, how much is that?"
It is obvious that Xiao Qiang has no idea about the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar, nor has she heard of the black market price of the U.S. dollar. She only knows how valuable the U.S. dollar is, but has no idea how much it is worth.
Xiao Qiang's voice attracted all the classmates, and everyone started talking about it.
Several female classmates pulled Zhang Chunmei to ask what was going on. Cheng Wenge, Qian Aiguo, Wang Yu and other boys were also particularly interested and asked Huang Han what kind of grand prix it was.
Then Qian Aiguo came to the conclusion that if Shen Xiaorong's "Partner Band" could win first place, the prize would probably exceed one million US dollars.
I don’t know where he got the conclusion from. It’s possible that Qian Guodong had boasted something awesome about developed countries in Europe and the United States at home.
Anyway, it wasn't Huang Han who said it, but Huang Han didn't deny it, because it was extremely possible.
Moreover, the influence of the national pop music awards in the United States is extraordinary, equivalent to the grand awards in Europe and the United States. If you win the first place, you are guaranteed to be able to live for a lifetime, and the value will definitely exceed one million US dollars.
Huang Han did not refute the rumors, so Qian Aiguo's rumors came true.
Then it had a bad effect, leaving the first impression in the minds of young people that the United States is too easy to make money.
The high school students in Experimental Middle School are all capable. Is it a blessing or a curse to leave such an impression at this time?
