St. Mary's Girls' High School. shu epiphysis 豞茫

It is a famous high school for girls in Hong Kong. Its history can be traced back to 1921. It is a British-style girls' high school. The school has lush green roads, a quiet and beautiful environment, and the architecture has a Renaissance feel. The school is a dormitory system and has complete cultural and entertainment facilities: theaters, restaurants, dance studios, auditoriums, and gymnasiums. Not to mention basketball, volleyball, and handball facilities, there are also fitness rooms and swimming pools. The library is antique. It's antique, even the stairs are ancient spiral staircases.

It is not easy to get into such a middle school. New transfer students from Hong Kong will basically not be able to get into the exam. The interview is very strict. It is not an aristocratic school that requires students to be from wealthy families and come from famous families. On the contrary, this prestigious school does not have special requirements for students' family background, but it has strict requirements for students' own abilities. They must not only have excellent international courses, but also have specialties and practical abilities.

Xia Shao's ability to enter this prestigious school has a lot to do with her status as the chairman of Huaxia Group. She has a family business worth tens of billions of dollars, and she started it from scratch. Although the reputation of Huaxia Group has not spread to Hong Kong, such achievements are naturally valued by the school.

As soon as her application for admission was submitted, she immediately received an interview invitation from the school. But at that time, Xia Shao had no time to come to Hong Kong for an interview. Her entire interview process was completed on the phone. The principal spoke to her personally, and the two had a pleasant conversation, and the result was naturally passed smoothly.

Xia Shao had never met the principal of the school, but the impression she had during the phone call was that he was an educator who was knowledgeable, humorous, and very up-to-date in his thinking. He was not a rigid person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to her asking for leave as soon as school started, and for more than two months.

Xia Shao's guess was correct. When she arrived at the principal's office with her small suitcase, she saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a kind and elegant temperament.

Nowadays, when Xia Shao looks at people, her first glance is based on their faces. She smiled when she saw Principal Li's face.

The forehead is high, broad and round, as plump as the liver, and the ears are raised, and the forehead is high and white. It is said that the three stars of metal, wood and fire are shining in the sky. You can tell that you have achieved success before the age of thirty, and your momentum is like a rainbow! Moreover, the center of the hairline points back, which is exactly the face of an educator. And he has the feelings of a philanthropist and a religious person.

As soon as Li Boshu saw Xia Shao come in, he immediately stood up from behind the large desk with a smile and greeted him warmly, "Oh, Mr. Xia! I've admired you for a long time!"

Xia Shao smiled, "What have you admired for so long?" The reputation of Huaxia Group had not spread to Hong Kong at all, but Principal Li's greetings upon meeting her gave her enough praise.

"Principal Li, you should be your name that I have admired for a long time. You are a famous figure in Hong Kong's education industry. I am honored to come to your school to study." Xia Shao smiled and shook hands with Li Boshu, "I have been very busy during this period. , I’m really sorry that I took such a long leave as soon as school started, and thank you Principal Li for allowing me to take leave.”

"Where is it? Mr. Xia is successful at a young age and persists in furthering his studies. I appreciate your mentality of self-enrichment. The purpose of our school is to cultivate young people with ideals, abilities, responsibility and a sense of responsibility. Mr. Xia has done well in all aspects. They all meet the requirements of our school." Li Boshu invited Xia Shao to take a seat at the desk while greeting him.

He sat behind the desk, with an antique bookshelf behind him, which contained famous works from all over the world, educational theories, and excellent books from all walks of life. Sitting in front of the bookshelf, Li Boshu had the solemnity of an educator.

“Mr. I think the courses may be a bit difficult at first. But you have to rely on yourself in this aspect. If your coursework evaluation is too low, it will affect your further studies, haha." Li Boshu said with a smile, but there seemed to be doubts in his words. Xia Shao might not be able to keep up with her homework.

Xia Shao smiled. This was the reason why she chose this school. Teaching in English was good for her. In her previous life, she was good at English and it was through this that she got a job in a big company in Beijing. After her rebirth, she didn’t have much time to practice English. She didn’t want to waste it because she knew she would need it in the future. With. And if it's a girls' school, it can at least avoid something like what happened to Cheng Ming in Qingshi No. 1 Middle School. To be honest, she was short on time and had heavy schoolwork, so she didn't have time to deal with those troubles. If it's a girls' school, it might be possible to avoid it from the source.

"Don't worry, Principal Li. You have allowed me such a long leave outside of the school rules. I will not make it difficult for you in terms of schoolwork." Xia Shao smiled.

Li Boxu nodded, the elegant and kind smile on his face remained unchanged, but his eyes were slightly praising.

He actually said that on purpose just now. On the phone, I only learned that her English skills were good, and her conversation was clear, organized, and polite. But after all, I had never met her face to face, and some things could only be seen face to face.

He agreed to her enrollment, and even made an exception when he heard that she wanted to take a leave of absence. It's because as an educator, he is very interested in why she can achieve such achievements at such a young age.

Huaxia Group's reputation has long been a household name in Qingdao Province in mainland China, and it is a real leading enterprise. And its leader, a young girl who started from scratch at the age of fifteen, has developed the group to this point in three years! Its industries include antiques, auctions, ceramics, and hotels, with assets exceeding tens of billions! Although Huaxia Group's reputation has not spread to Hong Kong, with its assets alone, she is qualified to join the upper class society in Hong Kong!

Not to mention the peers who are currently studying at Shengye Girls' High School, such achievements cannot be compared to those of the students who graduated from Shengye Girls' High School in the past.

He wanted to know what could make a girl so successful.

When he saw it today, he thought he understood a little bit.

Whether he praised her or questioned her, she was unfazed. Don't be proud, don't be angry, don't argue for yourself, just express gratitude and say you will work hard.

Li Boshu's eyes were full of praise, he nodded, stood up and stretched out his hand again and said with a smile: "Haha, in that case, welcome Mr. "

Xia Shao also stood up and shook hands, smiling and saying, "Since I'm here to study, Principal Li can just call me by my name."

Li Boxu immediately smiled, made an internal call, and then said to Xia Shao: "Okay, classmate Xia. Your enrollment will be arranged by the dean, Teacher Lin, so you can just follow her. I hope you study at Shengye. joy."

The two shook hands again, and Xia Shao took the suitcase and went out.

The dean who came to pick up Xia Shao was named Lin. He was wearing a black women's suit, short hair, and black-rimmed glasses. He looked to be in his forties and was unsmiling.

After Director Lin saw Xia Shao, he looked her up and down, pushed up his glasses, and said with a serious expression, "Take your things to the dormitory first."

Xia Shao raised her eyebrows, just smiled, and followed behind.

"Let me tell you, our Shengye Girls' High School has a long history and a very good learning atmosphere. Our school teaches elites, not those aristocratic schools where you can get in just by paying money. The school is a boarding school, only on weekends. It is open to the public, and no leave is allowed in normal times. Every time you ask for leave, skip classes, arrive late and leave early, it will be recorded as a bad record. It will affect the performance evaluation when you graduate."

When Director Lin said the word "asking for leave," he looked back at Xia Shao, his eyes obviously unhappy. She didn't know why the transfer student took more than two months of leave before reporting in. Her leave was approved by the school's top management, and she was only the dean of students and had no right to interfere. But since the establishment of the school, Shengye Girls' High School has never encountered such students. They are taking a long leave in their senior year of high school! Moreover, she transferred from mainland China. Who knows how she got into school

No matter what kind of prestigious school it is, these people with connections are indispensable! The good Shengye Girls’ High School was turned into a mess by these people!

Xia Shao knew as soon as she heard that she had been misunderstood, but it was true that she asked for leave, so she did not defend herself, but just smiled and listened from behind.

So, on the green and quiet boulevard of the school, the female dean led the way, while the girl pulled the suitcase behind and listened to the instructions silently, very well-behaved.

The dormitory building of St. Mary's Girls' High School also has a Renaissance style, with granite, domes, and arches. There is a bell tower next to the dormitory building, which is used to remind students of morning and evening classes.

The decoration in the dormitory building is very classical, and the walls on both sides of the corridor are hung with oil paintings of famous people in the school. Xia Shao's dormitory was at the end of the second floor. Director Lin opened the door with a straight face and said, "This is your dormitory. There are four rooms in the dormitory, but there were only two people in your dormitory before, plus three of you. You have your own bed." Pick it up and pack it up later. Follow me to get your textbooks and uniforms first."

Xia Shao smiled, put down her luggage, and followed the dean to get books and dormitory keys before being taken to identify the teaching building.

Xia Shao felt that the dean obviously meant to torment her. She could obviously take her to the teaching building first, but instead she took her to get books and uniforms first, and then made her hold a pile of books and a new collar. School uniforms are strolling around campus.

But Xia Shao doesn't mind at all. She has been practicing martial arts for so many years, and this thing doesn't bother her at all, but...

Xia Shao's eyes fell on the black high heels that Director Lin was wearing, and she followed behind with a sweet smile.

When Director Lin brought Xia Shao to the teaching building, he told her the classroom and class schedule. When his eyes accidentally fell on her face, he was stunned and frowned.

What is she laughing at

"Director Lin." Xia Shao looked at the teaching building in front of her with a look of admiration on her face, "I heard that Shengye Girls' High School was established very early, with a long history and numerous cultural celebrities. Many facilities in the school belong to the school. It was donated and built when the students became successful and returned to their alma mater, is that right?"

As soon as Director Lin heard this, he adjusted the black frame, with a serious expression, but raised his chin, "Of course. The glorious history of Shengye Girls' High School cannot be matched by any other middle school in the surrounding area. That's why. There are many people who are trying to get in. I really hope there are fewer people like this. They spend money to come in and bring bad atmosphere, so that students will know how to compare! It is these people who ruin the atmosphere of a good prestigious school. !”

Of course, Director Lin was alluding to Xia Shao, but she didn't seem to recognize it at all. Instead, she nodded seriously, "Some people come to school to look better on their resume, but some people really mean it." I want to study. I just want to study. I really want to integrate into this school, so I want to start by understanding its history. Director Lin, can you take me around? I want to admire the achievements of my predecessors and this school. I hope the atmosphere of this school can infect me and help me integrate into it quickly.”

Xia Shao had a smile on her face and sincere eyes, which made Director Lin stunned. She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't remember it. She just felt that the female student's peaceful smile and her looking eyes made people feel comfortable. She unconsciously put aside her prejudice and curled her lips, "Follow me."

Xia Shao followed behind with a smile.

Next, Director Lin walked and talked, taking Xia Shao around the library, auditorium, canteen, gymnasium, and all the entertainment buildings in the school.

Director Lin is worthy of being the dean of students. She is very familiar with the history and cultural celebrities of Shengye Middle School. She can pick up the allusions of each building and explain them clearly and logically.

Xia Shao originally wanted to take a small revenge on her because she saw the dean deliberately tormenting her, but unknowingly, she actually listened. She could feel that Director Lin was very affectionate towards the school, so she might not be targeting her, but just protecting the reputation of the school.

Less than an hour after leaving, Xia Shao had a deeper understanding of Shengye Girls' High School. Director Lin, on the other hand, walked slower and slower, and his walking was a little crooked.

Xia Shao lowered her eyes and smiled, a little apologetically. She walked to the bench on the avenue and said, "Director Lin, the dormitory is right in front. If you are tired, just sit down and rest. I will go back to the dormitory by myself. I still need to pack my things and go to class in the afternoon."

Director Lin was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly turned awake!

Yes, why should she introduce the school facilities to her in person? For these things, she could have just had her classmates take her around after she entered school.

Hurrah! Could this student have deliberately said nice things to her and tricked her into acting as a commentator while wearing high heels for more than an hour

Director Lin's eyes suddenly became extremely stern, but when he glanced at Xia Shao's face angrily, he saw her smiling, holding the books and uniforms in her arms and bowing to her.

"Thank you very much for today."

Xia Shao smiled sincerely and seemed to be sincerely thanking him. Director Lin looked back and forth on her face several times before his stern eyes softened.

It seems that she is overthinking... Well, in fact, today she also deliberately took her to get the things first, and she has been walking with the things for such a long time.

"Okay, you can go back." Director Lin refused to sit on the bench. Instead, he held the position of deputy dean, looked at Xia Shao seriously, and lectured, "I don't care how you got here, come in If you are a student of Shengye Girls' High School, your evaluation will be deducted if you ask for leave!"

Xia Shao nodded, smiled, turned and left.

After her figure disappeared on the boulevard, Director Lin slumped down on the bench and took a breather.

But, after a long time, she finally got furious!

"Asshole!"

This female student! He was indeed fooling her! Why is she admiring the grace of her predecessors? Why is she here to study? She wanted to come to study, so why did she take more than two months off as soon as school started

She was really treating her as a free tour guide!

Damn it! What is this student's name

Xia Shao

She will keep an eye on her from now on!

Xia Shao didn't know that she was targeted by the dean on her first day at school. When she returned to the dormitory, she found that there were indeed only two people in the dormitory, and they occupied the beds inside, so she had to choose one of the two beds in front.

Her natal Wenchang is located in the southeast. According to the orientation of this dormitory building...

Xia Shao smiled and moved her luggage decisively to the bed behind the door.

This time was not when she was studying in Qingshi No. 1 Middle School. Li Juan could still prepare a bunch of luggage for Xia Shao to go to school. When Xia Shao came to Hong Kong, she naturally wouldn't bring those big and small bags of bedding, so today Xia Shao packed her things easily, put Wenchangta on the table, and then changed into her school uniform.

There are two sets of school uniforms at Seongye Girls' High School, which can be worn interchangeably. The upper body is a white shirt and the lower body is a red and black plaid skirt, which looks very British academic style.

Xia Shao looked at her school uniform and smiled. She has been in Hong Kong for more than two months. When she called home, she always said she was studying in school. Every time my mother was about to hang up the phone, she would be reluctant to leave, repeating the words she had said countless times. And she always talked to her about home and rarely about school.

Now, she really comes to school to study. She planned to take some photos and send them back to her parents. Although they now have computers and the Internet, they really don't know how to use them. Maybe it’s more practical for them to hold their daughter’s photo in their hands and look at it.

Even though Xia Shaodang had made a decision, he decided to take some photos this weekend and take a few photos for Master. His old man came to Hong Kong, and his parents had been his neighbors for two years. But he suddenly left, and they still missed him very much. When the photos are taken, I can ask my senior brother to send them back.

After changing her clothes and tidying up her desk, Xia Shao took a look at the facilities in the dormitory. I found that it is similar to Qingshi No. 1 Middle School, and the bathroom facilities are very good. The dormitory is also spacious and bright, with a large range of activities, but I don’t know how my roommates are doing.

Xia Shao looked at the time and found that it was only half morning, and there was still more than an hour before get out of class ended at noon. She didn't want to waste time. Although she only had class in the afternoon, she had received a new textbook and wanted to read it first, so she sat at the desk and started reading.

The curriculum in Hong Kong schools is different from that in mainland China, and the textbooks in Xia Shao's hands are all in English. After reading them, Xia Shao felt a little relieved. Fortunately, except for some professional terms that were unfamiliar to her, she understood everything else.

She even briefly looked through the books on several courses. She flipped through the dictionary and marked some terms she didn't understand. When the dormitory door opened, she realized that it was already noon.

What opened the door was a tall girl in uniform with light makeup on her face. She was startled when she saw Xia Shao.

She frowned immediately and said in a not very good tone, "Who are you? Why are you in our dormitory?"

"I'm the new transfer student today." Xia Shao smiled and looked at the girl's frown, but she didn't stand up.

"New here?" The girl was obviously taken aback and looked Xia Shao over. The admission process at Shengye Girls' High School is very strict. It's not uncommon for students to transfer to the school halfway through, but it's really rare to see students who transfer just after their senior year of high school. Generally, applications for admission are not accepted during the senior year of high school, let alone that it has been almost three months since school started.

Does your family have any background

The girl looked at Xia Shao and found that she had a calm and elegant temperament. She looked up at herself slightly while sitting in the chair, and there was a sense of majesty in her leisurely demeanor. Moreover, her appearance is very beautiful, the kind of classical beauty, her skin is so good that it is shocking, just like the beauties in the paintings. No matter how she looks, she looks like a daughter of a famous family.

The girl then showed a smile, relaxed her brows, and asked: "Hello, my name is Liu Siling, Class 3 and Class 5 of high school. You should be in the same class as me, right? What's your name? Why are you here now?"

"Xia Shao. I'm from the mainland. I was delayed by something before, so I came to report today."

"From the mainland?" Liu Siling was stunned for a moment, obviously a little disappointed, and then looked at Xia Shao again, "Are you a mainland girl?"

Liu Siling's eyes suddenly became a little disdainful. Xia Shao also raised her eyebrows slightly and turned back.

It seems that she is not always so lucky to meet roommates like Liu Xianxian, Hu Jiayi and Miao Yan.

Just as Xia Shao turned around and went back, the dormitory door opened again.

"Huh? Who is this?"

"Mainland girl."

Liu Siling shrugged and hummed, not even bothering to look at the girl who just came in, and then turned around and went to the bathroom.

"Mainland?" The girl's voice was obviously higher.

Xia Shao then turned to look at her and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

I saw the girl was a little fat, but very well-proportioned, standing at the door looking at her. The girl, like Liu Siling, was surprised to see new people in the dormitory, but the difference was that there was no repulsive look in her eyes, but she looked unusually... fanatical.

Just when Xia Shao was wondering if she had seen it wrong, the girl ran over and asked, "Are you from mainland China? Which province?"

"Qing Province."

"Qing Province?" The girl rolled her eyes and smiled, "I know Qing Province! The fat flower sea crab over there is a famous dish! The drunken shrimp with perilla is also super delicious! Which city in Qing Province are you in?"

"East City."

The girl's eyes lit up again, "The fragrant pears from Dongshi are a specialty. They are rich in water and sweet. They can also moisturize the lungs. They are good for making soup or eating them raw. It's just that you can't buy them here in Hong Kong. What a pity... Hey! Mainland girl, come here. Did you bring any specialties with you?"

Xia Shao: "..." Why are you talking about eating

"I'm not called Mainland Girl, I have a name, Xia Shao."

"Qu Ran! Just call me A Ran." The girl stretched out her hand with a warm smile.

"A Ran." Xia Shao stood up with a smile and shook hands with Qu Ran, "Have you been to Qing Province?"

Unexpectedly, Qu Ran shook his head with a regretful expression, "No. But one day, I will go!"

"Then you are very knowledgeable about the cuisine of Qing Province." Xia Shao said with a smile.

"I heard that from my dad." Qu Ran smiled and lowered his eyes slightly, "My dad is a chef. He used to be the executive chef of a hotel. He is very powerful! He has been to many places and eaten a lot. delicious."

Xia Shao did not miss the sad look in Qu Ran's eyes when she talked about her father. She said that once, it was obvious that her father had passed away, as shown by the whitening of the sun and moon corners on her left.

Xia Shao didn't say anything, but just smiled and nodded, "It seems that you admire your father very much. Are your cooking skills also very good? Can you cook Hong Kong cuisine? Teach me some other time."

Qu Ran perked up as soon as he heard this, "Yes! I'm the best at cooking Hong Kong cuisine! Come to my house on the weekends, and my mother and I will teach you some of our special dishes!"

"Okay." Xia Shao agreed with a smile. She actually just said it casually. She has to catch up on her homework now and is busy. Emily will come to Hong Kong next week, and she will be even busier and may not have time.

At this time, Liu Siling came out of the bathroom and saw that Xia Shao and Qu Ran were actually chatting. She couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "Mainland girl and fat girl, it's true that birds of a feather flock together."

"Hey! What are you talking about! You are very rude, how many times have I told you? Don't I have a name? Doesn't Xiao Shao have a name?" Qu Ran frowned, obviously angry. It's obvious that she doesn't like people calling her fat girl.

"I'm not the only one who calls you Fat Girl, everyone in the class calls you that." Liu Siling snorted and glanced at Xia Shao, "Hey, mainland girl! It's difficult to apply for admission to Shengye Girls' High School. New immigrants. Or for students who transfer to Hong Kong, the government will randomly assign them to a poor middle school, how did you get here?"

"Why can't you come? I heard that you can apply if you study in an international school in mainland China." Qu Ran helped, but she was a little confused herself. She turned to look at Xia Shao and asked, "Isn't that right, Xiao Shao? You read Is it an international school? But why did you come to register after so long since school started? "

"International school? Mainland China?" Liu Siling snorted and sneered.

"Ignore her! She thinks mainland China is very poor." Qu Ran was speechless and pulled Xia Shao on his side and said, "It's lunch time, haven't you had lunch yet? Have you visited the school? I'll take you there and drop by. Have a meal."

Xia Shao nodded. She knew there must be people with Liu Siling's thoughts, so she didn't bother to care. She immediately packed up her textbooks and left the dormitory with Qu Ran.

But Liu Siling shouted from behind: "Hey! Mainland girl, don't blame me for not reminding you. In Shengye, newcomers need someone to protect them. Do you rely on fat girls to protect you? Don't drop out of school when someone calls you to worship. That’s good.”

Qu Ran was stunned. When he heard the word "worship the mountain", he was obviously very afraid, "Liu Siling, do you need to be like this? She is just new here!"

Xia Shao didn't know what worshiping a mountain meant. She had only heard of worshiping a mountain. Worshiping the mountain was the first step in joining a gang in the old days when bandits were rampant. Later it was introduced as a common name for joining a gang.

how? Is there a gangster in this Shengye Girls’ High School

"It's because she's new here that I teach her." Liu Siling raised her head, looked at Xia Shao with raised eyebrows, and sneered, "Hey, mainland girl. Do you think Shengye Girls' High School is a famous school, so Did you just transfer from the mainland to study? Hehe, if you are ignorant, you are ignorant. Let me tell you, there are bosses everywhere, and Shengye is no exception."

"Xiao Shao..." Qu Ran looked at Xia Shao, as if he wanted to say something.

But Xia Shao smiled and interrupted her: "Let's go, don't you want to have lunch?"

What are the campus gangs to be afraid of? She wasn't even afraid of the Triads.

Immediately, Xia Shao pulled Qu Ran out of the dormitory door regardless of what Qu Ran said. During the meal, Xia Shao found out clearly that there really was a school bully in Shengye. That girl was also in her third year of high school. Her family had a gangster background. The girl who was the guardian of the triad syndicate was named Zhan Ruonan. She was arrogant and domineering. She considered herself the boss of Shengye. She collected protection fees and got into fights. The students were very worried. Afraid of her.

Because she was from a triad background and she wanted to study in a girls' middle school, the school didn't dare not accept her. She finally entered her senior year of high school this year, and the school wanted her to leave as soon as she finished her studies and keep the campus clean.

During the meal, Qu Ran provided Xia Shao with some information about school and told her what to pay attention to.

Xia Shao smiled after hearing this. She had to be busy with her homework. As long as the other party didn't mess with her, she didn't care who was the school bully.

That's what she said, but Xia Shao didn't expect that she would meet Zhan Ruonan the same night she came to school.

The reason is that when she appears in the classroom in the afternoon, she becomes famous throughout the school. The reason is that she is beautiful, has a good temperament, is from mainland China, and is a transfer student. On top of that, she missed school for nearly three months before coming to Saint Jesus. For this prestigious school, besides Zhan Ruonan, she is probably the second person to break the rules.

Therefore, when Xia Shao returned to the dormitory that night and was about to go to the bathroom to call Xu Tianyin, the dormitory door was kicked open.

"Which one is the mainland girl? Come out here!"
