Chapter 16 Three Plans
Perhaps she felt that Lin Li agreed too easily. Seeing that he agreed to her words so quickly, Su Mingyu felt a little disappointed for some reason.
But now that the words had been spoken and the two parties had reached a consensus, she felt a lot more relaxed.
After a while, she said again: "By the way, there is also the one thousand yuan registration fee. My mother has already promised to give it to me, so I don't need you to help me pay it. Thank you for your kindness."
Lin Li nodded noncommittally.
He has now basically figured out Zhao Meilan's character. If he, an outsider, is really asked to pay the registration fee for Su Mingyu, she will not be able to show off her face.
So what he said just now was intentional, just to force Zhao Meilan to come up with the money.
However, Lin Li smiled and took out the one thousand yuan he had prepared and put it on the table.
"You can accept this thousand, use it as pocket money, or save it. In short, the money is yours now."
He said calmly: "I told you when I was down there just now that you have helped me a lot in my studies these days. If I hire a tutor from outside, the money won't be enough, so you can accept it with peace of mind."
"How can this be done? I can't take this money, Shi Tiandong, take it back quickly!"
Su Mingyu guessed that Lin Li was probably sympathizing with her, but with such a strong self-esteem, how could she be willing to accept the money.
"Su Mingyu, do you think I give you money because I pity you?"
Lin Li took a deep look at her and said: "Hard work should be rewarded. I don't need me to tell you this truth. I really feel that you have gained a lot from tutoring me during this period."
, it’s worth the money, so I’m willing to pay you, not because you think I’m pitying you. But if you feel that your knowledge and ability are really not worthy of this thousand yuan, you want me to take it back.
No problem either.”
Hearing that he actually made such a "wrong theory", Su Mingyu couldn't help but laugh again.
At the same time, she also understood what Lin Li meant from his words. He was telling herself that he did not give her the money out of pure pity.
So after much hesitation, she grabbed the money on the table and snorted: "You know what you are buying! I have spent a lot of effort on you during this period, so this thousand yuan is yours."
The tuition fee is due!”
But at the same time, she also said silently in her heart: "Thank you, Shi Tiandong."
Seeing her unprecedented arrogant look, Lin Li couldn't help but curl up his lips slightly.
This was the first time he saw such a delicate look on Su Mingyu's face. At this time, she looked like a real young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
However, he quickly put away his smile and couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?" Su Mingyu asked curiously, not understanding why he suddenly showed such an expression.
Lin Li naturally would not tell her that he was lamenting her life experience.
If she had not been born into such a family, or had not met a mother like Zhao Meilan, her life would have been filled with happiness and joy.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked: "Su Mingyu, let me tell you a topic that will make you unhappy. Judging from your mother's performance today, it is likely to become a big problem when you go to college. And your father is here
We can’t talk to each other at home, have you ever considered what you would do if Aunt Zhao really doesn’t support you going to a good university and insists on letting you go to a normal school?”
After hearing this question, Su Mingyu fell silent instantly.
As her expression changed, her heart couldn't help but become extremely confused!
Before this, she had never thought about it, or dared to think about it.
Based on her understanding of her mother, Su Mingyu knew that what Lin Li said would most likely come true.
If she really faced such a situation, she would have no choice at all.
Even if she goes out to work during the holidays, can she really save enough for one semester's tuition and living expenses in just two or three months?
But if she really gets to that point, she seems to have only this one option.
Lin Li couldn't bear to attack Su Mingyu, but she would have to face this problem sooner or later, so he might as well take advantage of today's opportunity to talk it out to her together.
Although according to the original trajectory, Su Mingyu's future development is not bad. Judging from the situation shown in the play, she has a net worth of at least tens of millions, and she is definitely a rich woman.
But in order to reach that level, you can imagine the hardships Su Mingyu put in!
Some people may think that it is fortunate that Zhao Meilan did not give money for Su Mingyu to go to school in Shuimu, otherwise she would never have met Lao Meng, and there would be no chance of her becoming her later.
But in Lin Li's view, that path may not make her happier than if she could realize her life ideal, get admitted to Shuimu, and then study abroad.
Seeing that Su Mingyu's face changed drastically, her eyes were dull, and she was speechless, Lin Li said calmly: "Su Mingyu, I don't mean to make you uncomfortable when I say these words, but if your parents really can't count on you by then,
, I have three plans here to help you."
"What plan?"
Su Mingyu glanced at him subconsciously.
Lin Li said calmly: "The first option is to apply for a national student loan. If you really get into Shuimu by then, it should be easy to apply for it. But the money will not be too much, it will probably be enough for you.
Those who have to pay tuition and living expenses can only pay for themselves."
When Su Mingyu heard this first plan, her eyes immediately lit up!
If this method can really pay for college tuition, then she won't have to worry about it anymore.
As for the issue of living expenses, she believed that no matter how biased her mother was, it would be impossible for her to not give her any money. In addition, she could still work-study and win scholarships from the school, which she believed would be enough to support her expenses in college.
"However, one imperfection in this plan is that you have to pay back the money to the bank after graduation. If you still want to study abroad by then, I am afraid you will have to save money for at least a few more years before it is possible."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Li told her the disadvantages of this plan.
Hearing this, Su Mingyu's eyes that originally brightened quickly dimmed a lot.
Yes, although this method can pay for the tuition, she will undoubtedly have to work first and maintain her own life while repaying the loan. If she wants to study abroad, she is probably out of reach.
"As for the second option, which is probably the simplest method, I will directly lend you a sum of money that is enough to allow you to complete four years of college, plus the cost of studying abroad for graduate school. After you complete your studies in the future, you can slowly
give me back."
Next, Lin Li slowly said the next plan.
Chapter completed!
