SFS Chapter 267 Negotiation
Chapter 267 Negotiation
As soon as Dai Tong left, Liu Yuanyuan took out her cell phone, stared at it for a while, gritted her teeth and called the principal.
After finishing the call, Liu Yuanyuan opened the door and walked out of the room. She walked to the coffee table, turned down the TV volume with the remote control, and looked at the Liu couple seriously and said, "Mom and Dad, I've thought it over. After next semester, I'm going to skip a grade and take the college entrance examination directly this year."
After hearing what Liu Yuanyuan said, the Liu family couple stood up at once, their faces filled with shock.
Mother Liu even stepped forward and grabbed Liu Yuanyuan's arm and said, "Yuanyuan, you are kidding, right? You are only in the first year of high school, and you have only been there for half a semester. When your substitute teacher said he hoped you could skip a grade, he was only hoping you could be in the second year of high school."
But if you jump straight to the third year of high school and take the college entrance examination this year, is that okay? We shouldn't rush into anything and don't try to eat a fat man in one go."
Liu Yuanyuan pursed her lips and smiled, "Mom, don't worry, I'll be fine. And our principal said that if I really want to take the exam this year, he will ask our school's special teacher to teach me.
And in recent years, the school's guessing questions have all been about testing that special-grade teacher. I heard he used to be in the teaching and research group and was responsible for setting the questions for the college entrance examination."
Mother Liu looked at Liu Yuanyuan with some disbelief. However, Father Liu didn't seem surprised. He just frowned and said, "As long as you've thought it through and made up your mind, then Dad will support you."
Liu Yuanyuan smiled happily: "I have already made up my mind, so just trust me."
Over the next few days, Liu Yuanyuan fell back into a frenzy of studying for exams, and filming and livestreaming became her only leisure time. She sent the raw videos to Lu Meichen, who edited them and sent them back. For a while, the two of them found themselves collaborating quite happily.
Until two phone calls on New Year's Eve disrupted this regular life.
The first call was from Lu Mingzhi. As soon as Liu Yuanyuan answered the phone, she heard his roar: "Liu Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you? I'm your biological brother. You would rather ask Lu Meichen to help you make the video than ask me, your brother. What's your thought? Thanks to me for being so good to you, do you still have a clear conscience? Huh?"
Liu Yuanyuan put the phone back to her ear after he finished yelling, and said helplessly, "How's the three-way live video streaming software I asked you to research and develop?"
As soon as Liu Yuanyuan asked this question, the angry, heavy breathing on the other end of the phone abruptly stopped. Then came Lu Mingzhi's uncertain voice: "Well, we've hit a bit of a bottleneck right now. We're still working on it."
"So, as a boss, shouldn't you be researching technical aspects? And you still have time to make videos? Just a reminder: current mobile phone systems are outdated. Future mobile phone systems will be smarter, more open, and more diverse. Pay more attention to foreign R&D platforms, especially smartphone R&D."
Lu Mingzhi immediately agreed, and then Lu Meichen's mocking voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lu Mingzhi, I told you to just take care of your own work. Don't come here to worry about my affairs.
You should study hard too. You were supposed to take the college entrance exam this year, but it was Yuanyuan who took it instead. Are you embarrassed?
As soon as Lu Meichen finished speaking, Liu Yuanyuan heard Lu Mingzhi's breathing hitch, and then Lu Mingzhi's gritted teeth came from the phone: "Liu Yuanyuan, tell me clearly what's going on?"
Liu Yuanyuan gave a helpless smile and said, "Don't you know? Our school planned to let me skip a grade. I didn't agree before, but now something has changed, so I plan to skip directly from the first grade to the third grade and take the college entrance examination this year."
Lu Mingzhi keenly grasped the word "accident" and asked doubtfully, "An accident. Did something happen? If you need help, just ask me directly. I will definitely help you."
Liu Yuanyuan quickly explained: "It's not that I encountered any unexpected events, but someone else wants my help with something. It may take a long time and will affect my studies.
But this matter was not particularly urgent, so the condition I negotiated with them was that I would help them after I finished my studies.
But they didn't want to wait too long, so I had no choice but to skip a grade. If possible, I also hope to complete my university studies quickly and graduate early."
Lu Mingzhi on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent. When Liu Yuanyuan thought he had left the phone, Lu Mingzhi slowly said, "Okay, if you don't encounter any problems, that's good. If you do encounter any problems, remember to tell Third Brother. Third Brother will definitely help you. You should hurry up and study."
Liu Yuanyuan keenly felt that Lu Mingzhi suddenly became a little depressed, but before he could say anything, the phone was hung up.
Liu Yuanyuan frowned as she stared at the disconnected phone call, not knowing for a moment what had happened to Lu Mingzhi. She planned to text Lu Meichen back.
Unexpectedly, after lunch, the phone rang again. It was Tang Jincheng calling.
Liu Yuanyuan glanced at Dai Tong before answering the phone: "Hello, Uncle Tang, I'm Liu Yuanyuan."
Tang Jincheng's smiling voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Yuanyuan. Bobo called to confirm with you. We're holding a family reunion banquet for you on New Year's Day."
Liu Yuanyuan didn't expect that the Tang family really took this matter to heart, and she looked at Dai Tong for help.
When Dai Tong heard the name Uncle Tang just now, she raised her head and looked at Liu Yuanyuan.
After seeing Liu Yuanyuan's look, he meowed a few times with amusement and told Liu Yuanyuan that if she didn't want to do it, she could just refuse.
So Liu Yuanyuan hesitated for only a moment before speaking, "Let's forget about this Uncle Tang thing. I don't want to join your circle. Besides, it's fate that I met Grandpa Tang. As long as he has me as his granddaughter in his heart, then I am his granddaughter. This family recognition banquet is really unnecessary."
Elder Tang suddenly laughed heartily from the other end of the line. His voice was full of joking, "You really guessed it right, kid. I'll give you those two bottles of Maozi."
Then the old man's voice continued, "Yuanyuan, it's okay if you don't want to hold this recognition banquet. Like you said, as long as Grandpa thinks of you as his granddaughter, you will always be his granddaughter. However, you don't have to hold the recognition banquet, but you have to hold an engagement banquet."
This time, Liu Yuanyuan was not angry, but Dai Tong suddenly became angry and started barking wildly towards the phone.
Liu Yuanyuan felt a little amused for a moment. Tang Ziji was actually afraid of affecting his reputation. The most important thing was that he cared about his own thoughts.
