Hearing Lin Li's words, Su Mingyu's eyes widened suddenly and she stared at him in shock: "Where did you get so much money?"
"My brother has a mine at home!"
Lin Li's expression was calm and his face remained calm.
Su Mingyu didn't understand this joke that would not spread on the Internet until ten years later. She thought that Shi Tiandong's house was really mining, and her expression was a little blank: "Are there coal mines over there in Hangzhou?"
Seeing her being so naive and simple, Lin Li felt a little funny and speechless. He didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer, so he immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Anyway, this is the second option. You should think about it carefully."
."
The expression on Su Mingyu's face changed again. After what happened before, she naturally believed that Lin Li was willing to lend her money to support her studies because he liked her.
But she didn't think that just because Lin Li liked her, she could accept funding from others in vain.
What's more, she had just clearly rejected the other party, so how could she have the nerve to accept this plan?
Besides, that’s a lot of money!
Su Mingyu probably calculated that if she, like her elder brother Su Mingzhe, could not get a full scholarship from a foreign school, then according to his standard of 450,000 yuan for three years in the United States, even if she went out to work and study, she would still be able to earn at least
It is necessary to prepare as much as three hundred thousand.
For her, who is still a high school student, this is an astronomical figure!
And this is only the cost of going abroad later. If you add the cost of the previous four years of college, the amount will be even higher.
And with Su Mingyu's character, how could she accept hundreds of thousands from others with peace of mind?
That kind of favor was so great that she didn't dare to accept it at all.
"No, that costs too much money, I can't accept it!"
Su Mingyu rejected Lin Li's proposal without any hesitation. At the same time, she looked at him with doubts and asked: "Shi Tiandong, is your family really a coal mine? Can your parents give you so much money at once?
"
"That's easy to talk about!" Lin Li laughed and said, "I just need to tell them that this money is for their daughter-in-law's education, and we will get married immediately after graduation. I believe they will be happy to agree."
Hearing this, Su Mingyu didn't know that he was teasing her. She blushed and spat: "Whoever wants to marry you is shameless!"
Seeing her shy look, Lin Li smiled "hehe", but did not continue to tease her. Then he changed his voice and said: "Since you don't agree with this method, then there is only the last plan left. This is also
It should be the option most acceptable to you."
Then under Su Mingyu's gaze, he smiled faintly and said: "After I enter college, I plan to start my own business, which can be regarded as cultivating my own abilities in advance. Then you can become my partner and I will give you shares, believe it or not
You can also earn your own tuition and living expenses during college by relying on your family. If everything goes well, you don’t have to wait until your sophomore year, and you should be able to save enough to pay for your study abroad, or even more than enough!"
"Let me start a business with you as a partner?"
After Su Mingyu heard this, her eyes widened again.
At this moment, her face was full of suspicion, and she had some doubts about whether Lin Li was taking her to engage in pyramid schemes.
Otherwise, how could it be said from his mouth that making money seems to be a very easy thing?
But Su Mingyu also knew that Lin Li was doing it for her own good and wanted to help her no matter what.
So after giving him a suspicious look, she nodded and said with some disapproval: "Okay, then it will be all up to you, Boss Shi, to help me get rich!"
But Su Mingyu didn't take his words too seriously, thinking that Lin Li was just bragging.
But even so, she decided without thinking. If Lin Li really planned to start a business, she would follow him.
As for whether she could make money, she didn't seriously consider it at all.
This actually means that Lin Li has initially established trust in her heart.
And compared to the first two options, this method is indeed the most acceptable to her.
Seeing Su Mingyu's face, Lin Li knew that she probably didn't believe him, but he didn't explain too much. He would just let the facts speak for themselves when the time comes.
…
Time flies by.
After the turmoil over the registration fee, the Su family temporarily returned to peace, and Su Mingyu successfully joined Lin Li in the intensive class organized by the school.
After that, in the intense study, time quickly came to the day of the 2007 college entrance examination.
The day before, Shi Tiandong's parents also came here specially from Hangzhou.
"Old Shi, you said that this brat Shi Tiandong has been a completely different person since he had to transfer to Suzhou a few months ago. He usually doesn't hear anything from us, but on such an important day as the college entrance examination, he actually asked us
Don't come, I really want to ask him if he still sees me as his mother?"
Before the examination room, Shi's mother was just like the parents of other candidates. While waiting anxiously, she couldn't help but whisper to her husband next to her.
"It's a good thing that Xiaodong has become so independent now. Why are you worrying so much?" Father Shi said calmly.
"What's good?"
Seeing that he didn't seem to take her words to heart at all, Shi's mother immediately glared: "If you let him continue to be independent, I don't even know if your son ran away with someone one day!"
As she said that, she snorted again and said to herself: "I want to take a closer look later to see if the girl named Su is so beautiful that she can charm that brat so much that he even forgets his own last name."
."
With the energy of Shi Tiandong's parents, even though they were usually far away in Hangzhou, their son's every move in Gusu could hardly be hidden from their eyes and ears.
Take the matter of transferring schools as an example, they soon knew that Shi Tiandong's purpose of transferring to Gusu No. 1 Middle School was most likely for a girl!
For the sake of the other party, he secretly entrusted an intermediary company to buy a house in the other party's house, and lived in it openly as a tenant. He went in and out with the little girl every day, getting along day and night.
Although Lin Li did this matter very secretly, and even the Su family didn't know that he was actually the one who bought the house, Shi Tiandong's parents were naturally aware of all his actions.
Just in order not to affect him when he was about to take the college entrance examination, Shi's father and mother chose to turn a blind eye and not interfere with the matter.
However, Lin Li's ability to spend these few months safely in Gusu was closely related to the fact that Father Shi blocked Mother Shi more than once.
Of course, the reason why Father Shi allowed his son to stay alone in Suzhou was because he had made a lot of money in the stock market under Lin Li's guidance in recent months.
As a condition, he had to fulfill his promise and not let anyone, including Shi Mu, disturb Lin Li's life in Gusu.
