Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Men Often Go Astray When They Become Rich

"Want to find a girlfriend in our country? What a strange reason!"

"You must be joking!"

"Chinese students are studying all over the world, the University of California isn’t only made up of foreigners, you could achieve your goal if you tried there!"

"Thinking about dating in college is understandable, but your education is far more important than love!"

"You’re so young, you don’t understand!"

"If you could go to a top American university, you could find an even better girlfriend!"

"..."

Zhao Yi was subjected to an onslaught of persuasions from his teachers, he couldn’t take it anymore and hurried back to the classroom.

Some teachers even chased him into the classroom.

One of them was Niu Lianhua, she pleaded with great enthusiasm, "Zhao Yi! Listen to me!"

"With your grades, your exam scores could at best qualify you for a Bachelor’s degree, even a first-tier isn’t very likely."

"You probably don’t understand the concept of the University of California, it’s a prestigious American university, internationally ranked, even better than Shuimu."

"Many excellent students from top domestic universities choose to study for their Master’s degree abroad!"

"If you could directly enter such a top university..."

Zhao Yi, stressed out, sighed, "Teacher Niu, of course I know the top foreign universities are good, but I am not freely applying or entering, I have to sign a work contract with Apple Company."

"Even better then!"

Having heard the news and rushed over was Teacher Sun, who seriously took over the conversation, "Upon graduating from a world-class university, guaranteed employment is also provided."

Teacher Xue seemed shocked, "Tech companies like Apple definitely won’t pay a low salary, wouldn’t you end up earning hundreds of thousands or millions a year in the future?"

"You could get ten girlfriends if..."

"Cough, cough!"

A few female teachers glared at him in contempt.

Zhao Yi rubbed his forehead vigorously.

He couldn’t convince them!

In the eyes of the older generation, a full scholarship to a top university with the promise of high-paying employment after graduation is simply too perfect.

In general, that is indeed the case.

But, Zhao Yi did not want to work for Apple Company.

You don’t say his ’top student’ system grants him abilities common people do not have, let alone having knowledge of the future for the next ten years or so, would he be short of tuition fees?

Does he need to live on his salary?

He currently has tens of thousands of dollars on hand and only puts it in stock that is sure to rise sharply. He could lie down with a net worth of tens of millions in ten years or so.

So, it doesn’t matter.

If he could apply freely and study at top universities with his own ability, he might be very interested, but signing a ’bonding’ employment contract is impossible.

Also, he did not want to major in computer science.

...

The teachers realized they couldn’t persuade him and left reluctantly. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Zhao Yi couldn’t calm down.

A large group of students, known and unknown, familiar and unfamiliar, all flocked around him.

"Zhao Yi, you’re impressive!"

"I heard that you turned down the University of California? The reason is that you want to find a girlfriend in your home country?"

"From now on, I won’t believe in anyone else, only you!"

"That reason... is unbeatable!"

As everyone talked, they were also very curious, firstly about how Zhao Yi could be linked to the University of California, and secondly why he rejected it.

Finding a girlfriend in China?

Only fools would believe that!

In the afternoon.

In the Elite A class, many people were still discussing it.

Lin Xiaoqing turned around and stared at Zhao Yi, her eyes full of curiosity and surprise, she couldn’t understand why the ordinary boy who used to sit behind her and was so low-key as to be unnoticed had changed so much recently.

His grades improved rapidly.

He answered all the questions in the competition and helped the school enter the final round.

At the same time.

He became wittier when speaking, even having the audacity to say such...

Jokes?

Now, an even more incredible thing happened, his name was suddenly associated with a foreign prestigious university.

But...

"Zhao Yi, why did you reject it after all!"

"That’s a prestigious American university!"

A few people around turned their heads simultaneously.

Zhao Yi looked around, a helpless expression flashed across his face, he beckoned to them to come closer.

Zhao Linlin immediately leaned over.

Hu Tianyan hesitated for a moment and leaned in slightly.

Zhao Yi looked at Lin Xiaoqing, then looked around again, and whispered mysteriously, "Actually, it’s because of you guys."

"Us?"

"We?"

Zhao Yi nodded affirmatively, "I didn’t lie, it really is because I want to find a girlfriend in China."

"And it’s finding three girlfriends..."

He said and pointed at Lin Xiaoqing, then pointed at Zhao Linlin and Hu Tianyan.

"Tsk——!"

"You must be dreaming!"

"Shameless!"

[Flirting, target: Hu Tianyan, Study Coin+2.]

[Flirting, target: Lin Xiaoqing, Study Coin+1.]

[Flirting, target: Zhao Linlin, Study Coin+2.]

’Flirting point’ is full up!

Comfort!

Ignoring the contemptuous looks from the three girls, Zhao Yi starts to concentrate on his problems.

Mathematics, probability, number sequence!

Start!

...

The teachers in No. 13 Middle School haven’t given up persuading Zhao Yi.

This relates to teaching achievements!

High schools pay attention not only to the College Entrance Examination admission rate but also to the quality of students. Having students admitted to top universities will become a selling point for high school enrollment.

No. 13 Middle School is just an ordinary high school accepting regular student intake based on regional division, and very few students can be admitted to top universities. But whenever it happens, the school promotes it widely.

Now is an opportunity to advertise.

Think about it!

When other people know that a student from No. 13 Middle School, who has just entered the twelfth grade, has already secured the qualification to attend a world-class university, the fame of No. 13 Middle School will certainly increase greatly.

So Teacher Sun goes to Zhao Yi’s home again.

"Zhao Yi’s main problem is... he’s too outstanding!" As soon as Teacher Sun starts to speak, Liu Jing and Zhao Zhenxi are dumbfounded.

Last time she said he improved too quickly?

This time he’s too outstanding?

In fact, Teacher Sun doesn’t want to describe him this way, but she can’t think of other words.

Zhao Yi’s grades are average, even though his grades have improved and he has made it to the elite class A. But in the whole province, the only word to describe him is ’ordinary’.

However, being valued by a top technology company, offered a place at a top university and guaranteed full tuition fees...

If this isn’t outstanding, what is? fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Principal Sun shakes her head and explains, telling them what happened at school.

Liu Jing and Zhao Zhenxi are puzzled, asking her several times before they believe that what they heard is true.

Zhao Zhenxi regrets it.

Liu Jing, on the other hand, supports Zhao Yi, "It’s good to refuse, the United States is too far away. If something happened over there, we wouldn’t be able to help."

Teacher Sun is about to continue persuading them, but stops and says nothing.

Liu Jing and Zhao Zhenxi only have one son, Zhao Yi. If he really went to the United States to study and work, who knows when he could come back?

He might not come back until two or three decades later, or perhaps never come back at all.

Finally, Principal Sun leaves in disappointment.

But Liu Jing and Zhao Zhenxi are far from calm, they feel like they are dreaming and can’t understand one thing: why does Apple Company value Zhao Yi?

Principal Sun’s explanation is very fuzzy.

Because...

She doesn’t know either.

Only Principal Wang knows a little, but Principal Wang is not in the mood to explain to others.

So, everyone is unclear.

After evening self-study, Zhao Yi comes home on time and is interrogated like a criminal.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Yi decides to confess, "I solved some program vulnerabilities. The engineer from Apple thought I was very talented and wanted me to work for Apple."

Zhao Yi briefly explained and also mentioned the ’ten thousand dollars’ bonus.

As expected.

When they heard about such a large sum of bonus, Liu Jing and Zhao Zhenxi’s focus immediately shifted from ’when did you learn computer technology’ to ’how to distribute such a large sum of money’.

Liu Jing suggests that she should keep the money, "Keep it with me for your future college tuition or marriage."

Zhao Zhenxi firmly supports Zhao Yi’s keeping the money.

"Xiao Yi earned the money, he should spend it..."

In the end, Zhao Yi decides to give his mother five thousand dollars.

First, to honor her.

Second, by letting Liu Jing hold the money, she would feel at ease.

After all, the bonus is not just ten thousand dollars.

Liu Jing is overjoyed.

While Zhao Zhenxi secretly pulls Zhao Yi aside, empties his pocket, and gestures counting money with his hand, "Xiao Yi, we’ve always been on the same side, I just supported you to keep the money."

"Do you think..."

"What about that one hundred dollars from last time?" Zhao Yi frowns.

"Your mom found out and confiscated it."

"..."

Zhao Yi reluctantly takes out a stack of bills from his pocket, hesitates for a long time before pulling out a bill to hand over, "Men with money tend to do bad things, I don’t want to be blamed by my mom in the future."

Zhao Zhenxi is so angry he stomps his foot, "...You are also a man!"

"But I’m not married, I don’t even have a girlfriend."

Zhao Yi said while stuffing the money into his pocket, patting it a few times, "Maybe my mom wishes I would behave badly, better to have a grandchild early."

"I..."

"How could I have such a deadbeat son..." Zhao Zhenxi keeps complaining while continuing his actions with his hands.

Taking advantage of Liu Jing still being busy in the kitchen, he quickly stores the money in the compartment of his briefcase.
