Zhang Aiting was the first to notice Ye Nianqi's changes. First of all, she didn't laugh as much as before, and she was in the room every day except for eating.
At first, Zhang Aiting thought that her eldest daughter had a puppy love. Although Diocesan College is a girls' school, adolescent girls can easily fall into uncontrollable emotions, but every time Zhang Aiting went to her daughter's room, all she saw was her daughter studying hard. Think about it, only when the eldest daughter suddenly enlightened.
Ye Nianqi's learning achievements have been tested in the school stage assessment, and she won the first place in the grade with full marks for each subject and a score approaching full marks, which shocked all the teachers and classmates.
Li Meizhen at the same table shook Ye Nianqi's arm and "questioned", "Nianqi, you are taking the elixir behind my back, why did you suddenly do so well in the exam, the first in the school, isn't that an exaggeration?"
Ye Nianqi was dizzy from her shaking, stopped while pressing her arm, and coughed back, "You can see how hard I work recently, it's called 'You reap what you sow'."
Li Meizhen thought about it for a while, she was the one who knew Ye Nianqi's learning status in and out of class the most, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as sleepless nights.
Learning is naturally learning, but the rapid improvement in grades is not just a matter of learning. Anyone who has learned countless times in the task can still treat the exam as a dessert. If you are happy, you can eat a piece, and if you are not happy, you can just lie down and do it.
The reason why Ye Nianqi didn't make efforts step by step is also because the exam is getting closer and closer, and many first-class universities need to provide nearly a year's school grades and social practice when applying.
Most of the original owner's previous grades were B grades, which could not meet the requirements of A grades, so Ye Nianqi's remaining test scores were very important and could not afford to be wasted.
"Hey, life is too short to enjoy yourself in time. What are you doing so seriously? I'm so embarrassed to paddle." Li Meizhen looked at her with her chin propped up, showing fascination, "If I were as good-looking as you, I would spend my whole life relying on my appearance That's fine, I don't want to study hard."
In Li Meizhen's opinion, Ye Nianqi is one of the most beautiful girls she has ever seen in her life. Not to mention her small face, her facial features are exquisite. Although she is only 1.65 meters tall, her proportions are excellent. Plain school uniforms can be worn with a sense of fashion.
And I can't do it myself, with a round face and thick lips, the advantage is that the eyes are big enough, at least enough to qualify for the word "big atmosphere", otherwise it will be wrinkled in one place like the folds on the skin of a bun, the ordinary ones can no longer be ordinary.
Li Meizhen has always been self-aware of her appearance.
Ye Nianqi smiled and replied, "I don't deny that being good-looking does have certain survival advantages, but if you only have a face but no brains, it's not necessarily a good thing. You can't put all your eggs in the same basket, can you?"
Li Meizhen was shocked. Is this still the same table with her who "shared joys and sorrows", "worked together", and "joined the same rank"? She was still paddling, but she secretly evolved.
Li Meizhen's fighting spirit was instantly aroused, "You're right, although I can't rely on my face for food, I can't put all my eggs in the same basket. I wanted to depend on my parents for the rest of my life."
Ye Nianqi suddenly realized that "children can be taught", and showed a gratified smile.
Parents were very happy when they knew about Ye Nianqi's grades, they took the initiative to increase her allowance and encouraged her to continue working hard, promising that if Ye Nianqi could stay within the tenth place in the next exam, they would give her a tablet computer.
Now Ye Nianqi is using a desktop computer at home, which was eliminated by her brother Ye Weifeng.
Her parents also have thoughts about her going to university, "You are different from your brother. If your brother is a boy, he can study abroad. If you say so, your parents still want to go to a local university, so you don't have to worry about your safety as a girl outside."
If the original owner heard this, she would definitely be very moved, but as a traveler who knows the direction of the novel, she knows that only the original owner has not gone abroad among the three children in the family, and her younger sister Ye Yunjia even went abroad to study in high school.
At that time, Ye Nianqi was just married, and the husband's family not only helped Ye Zhenghao settle the company's debts, but also paid a large gift money. To put it bluntly, Ye Yunjia's princess-like life was also based on the grievances of the original owner who was calculated and dominated. superior.
However, this "suggestion" just fit Ye Nianqi's mission, Zhang Xianzhi will return to China next year, Ye Nianqi will naturally stay in Xiangjiang, even if the husband and wife beg her to go abroad, she will not leave.
In the past three months, Ye Nianqi's grades have been stable at the top of the grade, her pocket money has been increased twice, and she also got the tablet computer promised by her parents.
Xiangjiang attaches as much importance to Christmas as the Spring Festival. According to the tradition of the school, a small fan meeting will be held every Christmas Eve. Teachers and students will sing hymns, pray, and congratulate each other, and one or two outstanding alumni will be invited to participate .
This day the teacher found Ye Nianqi and arranged for her to be the lead singer on Christmas Eve.
"You have a good image, and you are an outstanding student. The principal specially called you to participate."
The school is the epitome of society. The annual Christmas Eve tradition is not just as simple as singing a song. Inviting alumni to participate is not just for "going home often", but for "sponsorship" and "feedback".
Just like what the teacher said, Ye Nianqi has a good image and a good study, like a school's bright brand name, it's a good time to participate in such an occasion.
"Okay, what do I need to prepare?"
"There is no need to make special preparations, just rehearse in advance, and I will inform you when the time comes."
When Ye Nianqi returned to the classroom, Li Meizhen, who already knew that she was leading the Christmas Eve singing, was once again envious.
"It was an honorable moment, the kind that goes down in school history."
Not only the C position in the chorus station, but also a group photo with the principal and school trustees. These photos will be published in the school's chronicles and passed down year after year. Isn't it "inscribed in school history"
Ye Nianqi was also very happy, but she was different from Li Meizhen in that she didn't care about C positions or group photos, but her personal connections.
As an ordinary class with an A-level mission to attack wealthy sons, you have to grasp all opportunities and possibilities to cross classes, and show up in front of school leaders and distinguished alumni. Will be able to use it someday.
On the afternoon of Christmas Eve, Ye Nianqi, an excellent student in school uniform, and another male student, Qin Zhiyu, came to the school auditorium to rehearse first, and accepted the kind inquiries and encouragement from the school leaders.
At three o'clock, the party officially started. Ye Nianqi and Qin Zhiyu led the singing. After the carol, the principal and alumni gave speeches. This year's alumni were He Changchang, a representative of the Film and Television Association, and Yao Qinai, a cable radio producer. They each sponsored 500,000 yuan to their alma mater.
At the end of the speech, there was a flower delivery session. Ye Nianqi was arranged to send flowers to Yao Qinai. A photographer followed up and took pictures throughout the whole process. The video of the whole event will also be recorded and sent to the guests as a souvenir. As an outstanding student, Ye Nianqi was also fortunate to receive a letter. Of course, this is something to say, and there must be no Christmas Eve.
Yao Qinai had a good impression of Ye Nianqi, and she praised Ye Nianqi in front of the school leaders after stepping down.
"Seeing these juniors and younger sisters, I couldn't help saying, 'The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead'."
He Changchang, who is also an alumnus, smiled and said, "Don't be modest, you can make a success in cable TV without two brushes."
Yao Qinai said angrily, "How can you do it with just two brushes, you are not young anymore."
Although she is only in her thirties, she can be called the best age for a woman, but occasionally she still envies young boys and girls who are full of youthfulness. Their lives are full of hope and infinite possibilities.
After the school party, Ye Nianqi went home to continue celebrating.
Shiny Christmas trees, beautifully wrapped gift boxes, and roasted turkeys.
Ye Zhenghao, the head of the family, delivered a speech before the meal.
"Today is a day worth celebrating. I am grateful that our family is safe and healthy, and I hope that it will remain the same in the future."
He saw the smiling faces of his wife and daughters in the candlelight, and a smile appeared on his serious face, and he said, "Although Weifeng can't celebrate the festival with us, our hearts are connected, and I believe he will be there too." Have a great holiday."
Ye Nianqi was given a chicken wing, and she felt half full after eating it, and she really didn't like turkey meat, fortunately it only happened once a year.
After dinner is the most popular gift opening session. Ye Nianqi both gave and received. Children don’t need to give expensive gifts, they just need to express their hearts. She bought a pair of earrings for Zhang Aiting, a lighter for Ye Zhenghao, and a gift for Ye Zhenghao. What Yunjia got was a beautiful crystal hairpin, and all three of them were very satisfied.
And what she received was a pair of sheepskin boots, a new Walkman, and a cartoon scarf. Needless to say, the latter must have been given by Ye Yunjia.
On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, when the students were partying all night to celebrate the festival, Zhang Xianzhi declined all the invitations and finished the thesis alone in the room, with homemade pasta for dinner.
He has a slight social barrier and prefers to be alone rather than in the crowd, but as the eldest grandson of the family, he has been educated since he was a child to "socialize effectively", that is, to make everyone he comes into contact with useful for himself.
He can do it in front of his elders, but when he is studying in a foreign country alone, he does not want to "wrong" himself, but obeys his true inner feelings.
He just doesn't like to be lively. During the study abroad, he still made two good friends without revealing his identity. The kind of friends who don't need him to wear a mask, have nothing to do with his background, but only share similar interests.
Just seven hours ago, he received a call from Xiangjiang. The family was having a dinner together. The big family of dozens of people was thinking about how he would spend the holidays outside. He just said everything was fine.
The cousin said comfortingly, "Brother, next year you will be able to celebrate the festival with us at home."
Grandpa's laughter came from the phone, and he knew that it was the joy and relief that he was about to finish his studies and return to China.
Zhang Xianzhi often feels that he lacks emotion and can't get excited about many things. He is destined to have everything since he was born, and his family has planned his future path, which is to take over the family business and let Zhang's family flourish.
But sometimes he feels that's not what he wants, he likes chemistry, he likes research, he likes reading and sports, but he can't pursue any career related to it.
His body and soul were shackled from birth, and he had the idea of escaping, but in the end he chose to obey his fate. The change in the middle was because his family kept telling him one thing, that is, he was needed, loved ones He is needed, the Zhang family needs him, and more than 100,000 employees need him. This is his unshirkable responsibility as the eldest grandson. , please keep in mind:,.
