The legendary life of a manga

Chapter 127 Skye's New School
After signing the document, Lake also handed over educational materials about Skye from the Children's Office.

but……

very bad.

Skye has been going to school on and off since he was eight years old, sometimes even not going to school once a week, but despite this, Skye's academic performance is still among the top in his class.

This may be the commonality of geniuses.

I skip school, I sleep, I don't read, but I pass every time.

But going to school intermittently is definitely not enough.

Must be stable.

Therefore, Lake wanted to transfer Skye, who had been studying in the state prison-affiliated school in Queens, to a high school in Midtown.

just.

Ms. Neris shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Major Edwin, this year's autumn enrollment has ended."

Midtown colleges and universities have a four-quarter system. The enrollment of each quarter is almost full at the first moment, and then the final decision is made after the entrance examination and other evaluations.

One day has passed since the window for enrollment to end.

and.

Ms. Neris looked at the information about Skye in her hand, shook her head somewhat unfavorably, and said to Lake, "Major Edwin, this Skye was basically a semi-dropout during last semester. status."

Lake smiled and said, "But she got good grades, didn't she?"

Neris nodded and admitted this: "From the perspective of grades, Skye is indeed a very talented student, but what Midtown High School teaches is not only learning, but also responsibility and future. I am worried that if Skye After Kai enters, such a learning state is very easy..."

Lake directly interrupted: "Ms. Neris can rest assured that the reason why Skye's study attitude was like this before is because no foster family can give her a stable study space. I am already Skye's legal guardian. Will make sure Skye enrolls on time."

Nellis opened her mouth.

Lake gave his biggest leverage: "Ms. Neris, I understand that your son wants to enter Yale, and I can write a letter of recommendation for him with a few of my classmates."

Ms. Neris looked up: "..."

After half an hour.

Lake sent Ms. Neris downstairs, shook hands, and then watched Ms. Neris drive away.

Finally got it.

Back in his office, sitting on his sofa, took a big sip of bourbon's Lake, and heaved a sigh of relief.

God only knows what he had done to find this lady Neris, and to persuade this lady Neris to let Skye request to transfer schools?
First, he asked a friend to help him contact Ms. Neris. Later, in order to find a bargaining chip that could persuade Neris, Lake even used the investigation agency of the Bureau of Homeland Security, and only then did he find a breakthrough.

And then.

I got in touch with several Yale students who were in New York at the same time, and after exchanging pleasantries, I explained my intentions for coming, and after getting assurances that several of them would write letters of recommendation, I asked that friend to help me meet Ms. Neris.

The reason why they chose to meet at the National Land Building was calculated.

Lake chooses to meet Ms. Neris in this office, which is to show an attitude. This time, you help me, and I will owe you a favor as the deputy director of operations of the New York State Department of Homeland Security.

Ms. Neris once again called Lake Major Edwin, no doubt, also to see if Lake can accept a higher bargaining chip.

Lake chose to accept.

Simply put.

Lake exchanged his military status, land status and three senior people's recommendation letters with Ms. Neris for a transfer permit from Skye.

This is expensive.

Although there is no money PY transaction involved, the combined value of these three can be much more expensive than money.

but……

Education itself is expensive.

Especially in the Federation, only the bottom white people believe in the so-called happy trade, and the middle-class white people will not think that the earth is round for the sake of their offspring, and they all work hard to let their children choose elite education. .

Under the arrangement of some people, even the cost of receiving so-called elite education is more than ten times more expensive than happy education.

and so……

When Lake announced his final bargaining chip, he had already prepared it. If Ms. Neris did not let go, then she could only sacrifice Ms. Karen, the final weapon.

Ms. Karen is one of the shareholders of a high school in Washington, which is also Lake and Betty's high school alma mater.

but……

After inviting out Ms. Karen, Lake was already mentally prepared to let Ms. Neris disappear without a trace.

No one can blackmail him unscrupulously.

at the moment?

The biggest bargaining chip that Lake had prepared was so many, so Ms. Neris chose to accept it, which was a very happy thing for all.

just.

night time.

Lake ordered a few Chinese takeaways, and when he was sitting in the restaurant having dinner with Skye, Skye looked at Lake after hearing this: "I don't want to go to Midtown High School."

"why?"

"My previous school was fine."

"You mean the school you haven't been to for three months?"

"..."

Lake looked at Skye with interest: "Also, do you know that the last exam you took was actually the eighth grade graduation exam?"

Skye blinked.

Lake shrugged and said: "So, you can go to the original school if you want, but your grades show that you are not eligible to repeat a year, and you can go to the ninth grade, Skye."

Skye was a little confused: "Really?"

Lake wanted to laugh.

It's been almost three months since I graduated from junior high school, but I still don't know?
Skye immediately recovered, shook his head and said, "Then I don't want to go to Midtown High School either."

Lake shrugged and said, "Okay, where do you want to go then?"

Again.

Just as there was no utilitarian reason for Karen to adopt Lake, there was also no utilitarian reason for Lake to adopt Skye. Karen would listen to Lake's own thoughts for so many years, and Lake felt that he could also listen to Skye's own thoughts and opinions now.

Life is your own, as long as your choice does not make you regret it.

This is also a sentence Karen handed to Lake.

Skye shook his head: "I don't know, that public school wants me, so I'll go there."

Midtown colleges are too expensive.

The cost of the previous two operations, and the cost of buying clothes just this afternoon, good guy, this is the first time Skye saw a scene where he could use a $[-] piece of clothing as a $[-] card purchase.

Lake looked at Skye: "Ordinary colleges and universities are fine."

Skye looked up at Lake.

Lake rubbed his chin: "Wait, the enrollment period for public colleges and universities has passed. It seems that there is only one Midtown college. Otherwise, you can try it first. If you don't feel happy, we can change it."

Skye's expression was a bit wrong: "I'm not a child, Lake."

Lake smiled and said, "I know, so what I told you is the truth. If you don't believe me, you can check it online. There is a computer in your room, right?"

Skye looked at Lake seriously.

Lake's expression was calm.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have used these three conditions to impress Neris. If it was during the enrollment window, a letter of recommendation from him would probably be enough.

Skye finished his meal in threes and fives, got up, and ran towards his room on the second floor.

own room.

When Skye went up the stairs, she felt in a trance. It seemed that her own things in the past were just that blue backpack, and all her belongings were in it.

Lake looked at the back of Skye running up, and smiled hehe.

After a while.

When Lake habitually prepared to take the wine in the wine cabinet, he looked at the locked wine cabinet door and blinked.

Where are the keys?
Lake found the key from the bar and took out a bottle of bourbon. He wanted to pour himself a gulp, but after thinking for a while, he poured himself a full glass and put the rest of the bourbon back into the wine In the cabinet, after locking the key, he looked up, and put the key into his storage space with a bang.

In this way, 100% safety can be ensured, and underage girls will not be exposed to alcohol, right?

Lake thought so, and then recalled Betty's first drinking experience, and thought about it carefully, it seems that Betty's first hangover happened in three years before she could drink?

So this rule is alive?

Lake blinked, feeling the urge to call Karen for a consultation.

After about half an hour.

"Dong dong."

"I don't remember closing the door."

"..."

Lake looked up at Skye who walked into the study, and smiled: "This is your home too, you can go anywhere, of course, we can make an agreement that I won't go in your bedroom, and you won't go into mine either." How about not going?"

Skye smiled unnaturally: "Thank you, Mr. Edwin."

This sentence is a pun.

Lake withdrew his eyes, refreshed the order of killers in the backstage of the Continental Hotel, with a calm expression: "You can call me Lake, or... I don't know, but don't call me Mr. Edwin, it's called by a stranger, and it's the correct name It's Major Edwin or, Director Edwin."

Skye said nothing.

Lake looked up: "I should have found the information, so, what do you think about going to a high school in Midtown? If you don't want to, I can find a way to find some connections and choose a public high school that is closer to home."

Skye waved his hand: "No, thank you, I am very satisfied, thank you, Ai... Lake."

Lake laughed.

That's right.

Originally, there was only a 19-year age difference. Calling Mr. others, Lake understood it as respect, but Skye called, and Lake felt only estrangement and endless unfamiliarity.

This doesn't work.

At the very least, they will be together under the same roof for about six years. If he listens to Mr. Edwin like this and Mr. Edwin like that every day, Lake feels that he will grow old psychologically.

Lake looked at Skye who was still standing at the door and said with a smile, "So, see you tomorrow?"

Skye opened his mouth: "... See you tomorrow, Lake!"

Done.

Skye turned and left the study.

Lake continued to indulge in swiping orders.
