Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao walked out of the door, leaving the Han Dynasty-style building complex behind them.
There are still many students walking out of there, people walking on the roads and merging into those paths, the world is as diverse as the sea.
But the two aircraft carriers seemed to be cruising leisurely ahead.
"You may think that this was just luck, and that we cheated because we saw through the teacher first, but it's not true."
Jiang Hongshao tilted her head and looked over. She probably felt that Cheng Ran was not in a good mood and might have such a problem in his heart, so she spoke to comfort him, "There are people who have participated in competitions with me and analyzed the test points before the test... Without real skills, they can only be regarded as clever tricks. We have previously played several general questions. Although we have solved a few of them this time, if the knowledge base is not enough, we may not be able to solve these questions, because the question types and ideas are the same, but the specific content is different. And often some of the final questions require more open and diverse ideas. Without this, no matter how many knowledge points you have, you can't use them flexibly."
Seeing Cheng Ran's smiling eyes, Jiang Hongshao found that he seemed to have seen through her thoughts when she said this, so her face blushed.
"I see. So I can continue to get high scores in the future and strive for this ranking." Cheng Ran smiled.
"Rankings are still very useful," Jiang Hongshao said. "If you are interested, you can compete. Competition in study can also make you more aware of potential risks. It can also give you more freedom."
The so-called greater freedom probably refers to the administrative tolerance of the school that one can enjoy in an ivory tower, as well as being free from the gossip that is inevitable anywhere.
Cheng Ran caught her words and laughed, "You also have a sense of crisis? So you are also worried that your first position will be lost?"
Jiang Hongshao nodded without any hesitation, "Yes."
Cheng Ran thought of her strong character, perhaps this was the reason why she wanted to keep herself excellent.
Cheng Ran smiled, "Then you should be worried about me now."
"That's right!" Jiang Hongshao "woke up from a dream", jumped to the side, crossed her hands in front of her chest and smiled, "Let's keep our distance now."
This playful look has made countless passers-by on the roadside and those in the packed buses, staring at the windows, envious.
After the two of them joked around for a while, Cheng Ran looked up and asked, "It's vacation time. How are you spending your summer vacation?"
"Grandpa is a little unwell, I need to go over to see him."
Cheng Ran nodded. "When are we leaving? Shanhai's friends are coming to Rongcheng next week. Let's have dinner then."
"I'll take a flight the day after tomorrow, and pack up tomorrow. I've already told them, so give them a shout-out for me. I'll come back to play with them."
Even if Cheng Ran didn't say it, Jiang Hongshao also knew everyone's movements from the daily correspondence and phone calls with her Shanhai partners.
Once, after talking to her on the phone, Yu Xiao immediately called Cheng Ran and said excitedly that Jiang Hongshao had called him to ask about his condition. She said that Cheng Ran said he had received intravenous drips for three days because of a severe cold. Is he feeling better now? Yu Xiao said to Cheng Ran with emotion at that time, "It's because of you that we have been able to keep in touch with Lao Jiang."
In the past, when the two of them went home together, Cheng Ran would take Jiang Hongshao home by car, and then he would take the bus home alone. But today, Jiang Hongshao insisted on going the other way, so Cheng Ran had no choice but to get on the bus to Fulun Company with her first.
It was not until they reached the station at Fulong Company Street that Cheng Ran reluctantly let go of the hands they had held since they got on the bus. This trip made the elderly sigh that people's hearts have changed, middle-aged office workers frequently looked at the girl with perfect features, and many students on this route stole glances and whispered.
When they arrived at the platform, Jiang Hongshao still wanted to continue riding the train, so she waved goodbye to him through the window.
The cool jade touch in Cheng Ran's palm finally faded away.
…
The news that Cheng Ran ranked second in the grade of No. 10 Middle School spread quickly in Fulong Courtyard. When Jiang Erwa called, he first expressed his congratulations, and then talked about a lot of expenses and plans of Tianxing Daoguan. Among them, he mentioned that Qin Qian made an excellent suggestion, which was to release the advertising space of Tianxing Daoguan and vigorously develop advertising resources.
Because Qin Qian learned from the experience of dance theater and made further improvements.
This will make better use of the current fame of Tianxing Gym.
Her suggestion was to customize 50 roll-up banners placed in the corridor and the entrance hall, 10 large display stands, and 20 light boxes embedded in various walls for the Tianxingdao Pavilion. The price of a roll-up banner is 500 yuan per month, the price of a large display stand is 2,000 yuan, and the price of a light box is 1,000 yuan. These can bring 60,000 to 70,000 yuan of advertising income to the Tianxingdao Pavilion every month.
What surprised Cheng Ran even more was that she even thought of doing something with the sofa cover.
Since Qin Qian suggested that Jiang Zhou put out the bidding for the advertisement, the sofa covers of Tianxingdao Hall have been fully booked by Rongcheng Anorectal Hospital, with a monthly fee of 30,000 yuan, and the advertisement for the covers has been signed for a year. Qin Qian negotiated this deal with the other party, and the person was introduced by her father Qin Songyuan, who has a good relationship with the other party's vice president.
Cheng Ran couldn't imagine the process of Qin Qian taking the lead and working with Jiang Zhou to negotiate the specific advertising slogans and cover details with the anorectal hospital.
But I think it must be very tough.
It can be seen that Qin Qian, who was spoiled like a princess by her family and had never had to do housework, has changed herself step by step during her part-time job at Tianxing Dojo.
I can actually be with someone else... The hospital is clearly showing off.
Lian Xiaohu came to Cheng Ran that day and told him some of his inner thoughts. Among the Huatong students, Wen Lan and Yu Hong had the best grades. One of them could get into the first-tier universities every time he took the exam at No. 19 Middle School, and the other was in the top 100 at No. 30 Middle School. They used to be representatives in Huatong who gave advice to other parents about their own children. But now, this representative should change his flag because of Cheng Ran's appearance.
Lian Xiaohu talked a lot with Cheng Ran, and finally the boy who was eager to talk got back to the key point, "By the way, you are also a top student, and even more so than Wen Lan. Do you think someone like me... has a chance?"
Cheng Ran said, "You've been living in the same yard with him for more than ten years, and you ask me, an outsider, if I have a chance?"
Lian Xiaohu was worried and said that he used to feel that they were too familiar with each other and had no feelings for each other, but now everyone has grown up and suddenly he realizes her good points. Is there still a chance
Cheng Ran asked, "What are you waiting for? Why are you talking so much? Won't you tell her?"
Lian Xiaohu was encouraged by Cheng Ran and was very ambitious for a while, but his ambition quickly faded and he became uneasy. He mustered up his courage several times, but finally gave up.
I held the phone but never dialed it, and the receiver kept saying busy.
"I still don't dare..."
…
Of course, Cheng Ran's achievement made Xu Lan and Cheng Feiyang very happy. Cheng Feiyang was in high spirits, and now that he was the boss in the unit, he had been relatively low-key, but he couldn't help but speak loudly when encountering such things.
Sometimes he would ask Wang Wen, a technician who graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China and was hired by him to develop the front-end software, "What high school grades do I need to get into your University of Science and Technology of China?"
Wang Wen shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Cheng Feiyang couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. "It's just how much it is. What do you mean you don't know?"
Then Wang Wen was still confused and said, "I was admitted to USTC from the junior class, and I never went to high school..."
"… "
After asking a lot of very technical questions inside Fulong, Cheng Feiyang shut up at the right time and never mentioned Cheng Ran's performance again.
…
The dormitory buildings in Fulong have been delivered one after another, but it will take some time for some owners to decorate and move in. At this time, the employees from Shanhai rented houses in the inner courtyard of Fulong and Fulong provided rental subsidies. But in fact, many families have found a place to stay in advance.
Some people rented a house when they chose welfare housing, while others bought another one at the same time.
There was a lively atmosphere in the Fulong Courtyard in Chengdu.
On Wednesday, old colleagues from Shanhai got together.
Cheng Ran and his friends from Shanhai met again at that time.
