Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 105: Negotiation with Imperial University
When the principal and dean saw Chu Luo, they looked at her with excited expressions as if she was their promising daughter.
The headmaster, who had always been calm and composed, was also a little excited at the moment. “Chu Luo has made the elite high school Ocean City proud this year. He is also the highest-scoring student in history since the school was founded. Since the score was announced yesterday, many principals have called me to congratulate, hahaha.”.
These words made the others smile consciously.
The principal added, “Not that. First Television Station, Education Channel Ocean City, and Education Network are all calling to interview you.”
The Dean who stood at the side replied, “Most ask about your study method. You can decide if you want to be interviewed.”
Chu Luo replied with “Mm.”
Seeing that he did not refuse, the principal continued with a smile, “This morning, the director of the Ocean City Education Bureau personally called and said that he will give you a gift. Although this year, the matter of college entrance exams throughout the empire is difficult, you can still get full marks. In the past, the reward from the Education Bureau was 100,000 yuan, but this year, he specifically gave you 200,000 yuan. Also, the gift from our school has been unanimously decided by the school board to be 500,000 yuan.”
As an elite private high school, the school board does not lack that much money. They were interested in the long-term fame that Chu Luo would bring to school in the future.
Chu Luo did not think too much about money, but Old Gao was happy for her.
Headmaster continued, “Our school gift will be given to you tomorrow, when you return to school to fill your application.”
Chu Luo nodded.
After the headmaster finished speaking, the dean continued, “Chu Luo, we will hold a general meeting tomorrow before the holidays. When the time comes, you can go on stage and talk to your juniors. Take it as you push and encourage them.”
“What should I say?”
“Tell me what you want to say. Provided you can mer***sang their passion for learning.”
When Chu Luo heard this, the corner of her lips curved up and she nodded. “Good.”
The principal and dean exchanged a few more words with him before Li Tao and the others came.
The principal knew that with them around, the children would be held back. He smiled and said, “Then we won't interrupt your teacher and student meeting. Imperial University will announce the value of admission today. Don't forget to check it out later.”
With that, they both left.
As soon as the two principals left, Ji Cheng, who had been pretending to be a quail, sighed excessively. “Hah. With them around, I feel even my breath is strained.”
Old Gao scolded jokingly, “If you have results like Little Chu Luo, He Jiang, and Li Tao, you will not be afraid of the principal and dean.”
Ji Cheng smiled. “Of course. Precisely because my results were bad I was afraid of them. If my results were good, I would raise my head high and chat with them easily.”
Old Gao patted his forehead.
“Aiyoh! Old Gao, you are too cruel. Don't tell me you deliberately waited to teach me a lesson after the exam because my grades weren't good?”
Old Gao deliberately put on a fierce face. “You're right. Earlier, I told Little Chu Luo that if she did not get the results she expected, I would hit her palm with a ruler. I thought that I wouldn't need that ruler anymore. Coincidentally, you came.”.
“Hai! Old Gao, please be generous and let me go. Aky also got the results I wanted this time, didn't she? My parents even said that she wanted to light a firecracker and have a banquet to celebrate.”
“I said, Ji Cheng.” Li Tao finally could not bear to listen anymore. “You only made it into a third-level university. Isn't it too much to light a firecracker and hold a banquet to celebrate?”
“Hey, hey, hey... Li Tao, how can you mock me like that? I got into a third-rate university because of my skills, okay? Of course, the biggest contributor was Chu Luo, but before this, my parents felt it was already good enough if I went into vocational school. I will be considered to have surpassed my usual appearance.”
Each person: “...”
After they chatted and laughed for a while, Madam Gao finished preparing the meal.
Other than Chu Luo, there were five others, including Li Tao. The Gao family square dining table and long bench are the older type. Two people can sit on one side.
Ji Cheng and the others came with alcohol. The children did not dare to say it now. After the dish was served, when Ji Cheng and the other boys ran over to carry some wine boxes, Old Gao directly pointed towards them with a fierce expression. “You brats, so you guys get ready.”
Li Tao smiled and said, “Old Gao, don't be angry. Didn't you specifically throw a celebration party for Chu Luo today? How can a celebration party without alcohol? We only buy alcohol at a low percentage. Everyone just wants to have fun. We will definitely not let Chu Luo get drunk.”
After saying that, Ji Cheng opened the box and bent down to take out two bottles. He gave one to Old Gao and gave the other to Chu Luo. “We can all get the ideal result this time, all thanks to the question you found on the last day.”
Chu Luo looked at the bottle of pink wine in her hand. She wanted to try it before, and when she heard him say that, she took it.
Old Gao looked at Chu Luo's glittering eyes and was about to scold her.
Lady Gao tapped her bowl with her chopsticks and said, “Antique basis, the children have passed, yet you still limit them to this and that. What was wrong with Chu Luo drinking a little? If he gets drunk, he can rest in our house.”
Old Gao did not say anything more.
After everyone got a bottle of wine, they did not even drink from their glass and only drank directly from the bottle.
Chu Luo took a sip of this wine and smacked her lips twice before coming to a conclusion. “It's too dim. No smell of alcohol at all.”
Old Gao: “...”
The others laughed out loud.
He Jiang said, “Chu Luo, why don't we compete in drinking wine and see who is better?”
Chu Luo looked at the bottle and said, “You can't beat me in a drink.”
He Jiang: “...”
“Chu Luo, aren't you too boasting? The class representative family runs the winery. He had been soaking in a jar of wine since he was young. How could he not win against you!”
The others also thought that Chu Luo was joking.
Only Li Tao glanced at him.
Everyone doesn't drink much. Today, Lady Gao cooked a large plate of dishes. The group gave her face and finished the plate table.
Old Gao deliberately shouted, “Besides Little Chu Luo, you guys are a bunch of pigs!”
Madam Gao looked at the empty plate and could not stop smiling.
The admission limit for Imperial University will be released at 14:00.
After the meal, the time was already showing at 13:30. Everyone walked into the living room and sat down. He Jiang and Li Tao brought their laptops. The two of them opened their laptops while the others stood behind them and looked at them. They looked like they were afraid of losing the cutoff score.
Chu Luo did not feel as excited and nervous as they were. He told Old Gao and went straight to Old Gao's desk to pick up two books to flip through.
Just as he finished flipping through the two books, some people exclaimed in excitement as they looked at the cutoff score.
“Hahaha..The entry value this year is actually 690. I remember Zhang Tianyi getting a score of 689.”
Everyone remembered how Zhang Tianyi treated Chu Luo in the past. Even though Chu Luo ruthlessly slapped her face afterward, when they saw this kind of score, everyone's hearts could not help feeling pleased.
At this moment, Ji Cheng even specifically looked at Chu Luo and asked, “Chu Luo, you really don't like Zhang Tianyi anymore, right?”
Several cold gazes swept towards Ji Cheng at the same time. Ji Cheng involuntarily shrank his neck, smiled shyly, and said, “I just asked casually. With Chu Luo's current appearance, how could she possibly fall in love with that plastic surgery face?”
Chu Luo ignored him and asked Old Gao, “How many students from Class 12.1 have entered the Imperial University this year?”
“Only one,” Old Gao said with a smile. “In addition to our classes, the average score for the whole level is low. There are only six people who scored above 690.”
“Ha ha! Half of those people are from our class!”
“Suddenly I feel our class is very impressive!”
Everyone was looking forward to seeing Master Li's reaction when all of the Grade 12 students returned to school tomorrow.
After the college entrance exam cutoff score was released, Chu Luo's phone suddenly rang.
He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
Old Gao happened to be standing behind him. He unintentionally glanced at the caller ID and instantly widened his eyes. He said excitedly, Little “Chu Luo, answer quickly. If I remember correctly, this is a call from the student recruitment office of Imperial University.”
“Wow! The Imperial University's student recruitment office called Chu Luo this early. What it means..”
“This means that Chu Luo has been accepted earlier!”
“Chu Luo, answer the call!”
Chu Luo was actually a little surprised that the Imperial University's student recruitment office knew her number, but she still picked up the phone amidst the excited voices of the crowd.
Indeed, as they say, the Imperial University student recruitment office called to offer early admission to Chu Luo, as well as the benefits of waiving all tuition, living, and accommodation costs.
Chu Luo thought for a while and only made a small request. “I want to register in several specialties at once. As long as you agree, I will enroll at Imperial University.”
The other party did not expect Chu Luo to have such a request. The person who called also had no right to promise him anything. He said that he would immediately report his request.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo scanned the crowd, who were staring at him with hot eyes, and blinked innocently.
Everyone thinks, ‘F*ck! Is this a request that mortal humans can make?’
What was more unexpected was that Chu Luo also received a few more calls from the major universities in the country. At the same time, he received invitations from several well-known universities abroad.
Towards the end, the group of people listening to Chu Luo's call had calmed down.
Everyone stayed at Old Gao's place until four in the afternoon before leaving.
After everyone came out of the district, Li Tao looked at He Jiang. He Jiang shouted for the others to leave first.
After the others left, Li Tao stopped Chu Luo.
“Chu Luo, I said earlier as long as I enter the Imperial University, I will chase after you. Now..”
“I've told you before that I don't like you.” Chu Luo looked at Li Tao and replied bluntly, “It doesn't matter whether you can enter or not.”
When Li Tao heard this, he pushed his glasses over the base of his nose and said, “Although I wish you to say that, I still feel his punch.”
Chu Luo looked at him.
Li Tao suddenly smiled at him. “Although you didn't receive my recognition, you can at least tell me which specialties you want to apply for, right?”
Chu Luo looked at him. “Do you think I was joking with the reception office of the Imperial University just now?”
Li Tao swallowed these words and immediately explained, “No. Even if you study several majors, you should have your first choice.”
Chu Luo nodded and said, “I might sign up for a foreign language major.”
“…”
“Or computer science.”
“…”
“Or chemical.”
“…”
“Or physics.”
“…”
“Or history.”
“…”
Chu Luo mentioned several major departments in succession, leaving Li Tao speechless.
Finally, after Chu Luo finished speaking, she could not help but ask, “Did you never think of entering the Mathematics Department?”
Chu Luo thought for a moment and nodded. “It may.”
Then, he added, “It's possible that I will study in all colleges.”
Li Tao stopped talking and looked at Chu Luo with a bright gaze.
Chu Luo looked back at him. “Do you not believe me?”
Li Tao thinks: ‘No one will believe this.’
Chu Luo stopped looking at Li Tao and walked towards the apartment.
When he returned, Li Yan was not there.
After dinner, he watched Professor Wu's video lesson until eleven. Just as he was about to sleep, his phone suddenly rang.
It was Chu Zhengyang.
Chu Zhengyang asked by phone, “Luoluo, do you not go home but go straight to the apartment next to the school?”
When Chu Luo heard this, she walked to the window and opened the curtain. Indeed, Chu Zhengyang was standing on the lower floor.
He replied with “Mm.”
Chu Zhengyang sighed and said, “Someone from the reception office called you this morning. I gave that guy your number. Did you receive a call today?”
Chu Luo looked at the figure standing under the streetlight and guessed that Chu Zhengyang would definitely not listen to what the person on the phone said. Maybe he doesn't care at all.
“Then stay here correctly. Uncle has something to pay attention to and has to go abroad. If... when I return, I will celebrate with you.”
Chu Luo looked down and only replied with “Mm.”
Chu Zhengyang hung up the phone and rushed away from the apartment building.
Outside the apartment building, she got into the nanny van that was waiting for her.
Two brothers, Wei Yongchang and Wei Jingcheng, were sitting in the car.
Wei Yongchang asked, “Did you see it?”
Chu Zhengyang shook his head. “I just called him from below.”
Wei Yongchang nodded and said, “We have found the exact location of that ancient tomb. I heard that Li Yan will also leave. As long as we follow him, we can find the main tomb before he does and obtain the legendary heavenly medicine. As long as we can get the heavenly medicine, the worms Gu Xiao Wei and Tingting will heal.”
Chu Zhengyang's expression turned serious and he nodded at her.
Previously, he had strongly refused to go to the ancient tomb and had always felt that he would never return. However, he had no choice now. For his wife and daughter, he could only risk his life.
