Double Life: My whole world is you

Cheng Qiao was about to open the door and go in, but Cheng Zhu pulled her and said, "Sister, what are we going in for?"

"Sign up!" Cheng Qiao answered and opened the door. Cheng Zhu was still confused, but he still followed his sister in.

The office was not very big. Opposite the entrance was the reception desk, where two female teachers were sitting. On the left side of the entrance was a row of sofas, where a middle-aged man was lying. The middle-aged man opened his eyes and saw the two children, then closed them again. The one on the left of the two female teachers stood up and asked politely, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, teacher. I'm here to register." Cheng Qiao said, and then glanced at the middle-aged man lying on the sofa. He was still dozing with his eyes closed. The female teacher sat down and said calmly, "You need parents to accompany you."

Chengzhu leaned his face, which was covered with a fan, upwards again, leaving only a pair of eyes to signal his sister to leave quickly. As a result, his sister pulled a chair and sat down. She said in a slightly louder voice, "Teacher, please ask the director to leave."

The middle-aged man opened his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows, sat down and said casually, "What's going on? Tell me!"

"Can you make the decision on the registration?" Cheng Qiao asked calmly, looking straight into his eyes.

"He is our director of the political and educational department and one of our school directors." The female teacher said quickly.

"Okay, let me ask, how much is the tuition at your school per semester?" Cheng Qiao went straight to the point.

"We have a discount on the registration fee this year. It is 3980 yuan per semester for freshmen." The middle-aged man answered and looked at them again before saying, "We are an aristocratic school and do not receive any subsidies."

"Well, are there any other expenses? How are food and accommodation calculated?" Cheng Qiao continued to ask.

"Our school cafeteria provides three meals a day, ranging from three yuan to one hundred yuan. The school provides dormitories, which cost 980 yuan per semester." He paused for a moment and continued, "Oh, school uniforms are also separate. As for other activities, the school will notify you separately."

After listening carefully, Cheng Qiao was thinking about how to raise the registration fee during the summer vacation. It seems that this job is not working, and she has to find another side job! At this time, the female teacher behind her poured a glass of water and handed it to her and asked, "How many points did you get in the high school entrance examination? We have to pay extra for those who score less than 350 points."

"Hmm? How to add it?" Cheng Qiao asked curiously.

"Two hundred and one points, the maximum is five thousand." The female teacher sat down next to her and asked, "You are not far away, right?"

"Oh! No! I got more than 600 points." Cheng Qiao answered while taking a sip from the teacup.

"How much?" the female teacher pulled out the chair and stood up and asked.

"603." Cheng Qiao also stood up and asked at a loss, "The score is too high, you don't want it?"

"No, no!" The middle-aged man also stood up from the sofa, "With 603 points, you can get into the fast class of No. Middle School!"

"I don't really want to go to No. 1 Middle School. It's a bit far from home." Cheng Qiao stood up and pointed behind him. "My home is in Heyuan Community."

"Are you really considering our Xinghua with this result?" The middle-aged man came up to him and asked in disbelief.

"Yeah! You're very close to my house! And the environment is pretty good too."

"What's your test number? Let's check it on the spot." The middle-aged man said and winked at the female teacher next to him.

Several people gathered around the computer. Cheng Qiao reported her test number and name. The middle-aged man was excited when he saw her score. "603 points, 485th in the city. Do your family agree with you coming to Xinghua?"

Cheng Qiao saw his reaction and knew there was room for discussion, so she smiled and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with them."

"Tell your family that as long as you are willing to come, I will apply to the school to reduce your tuition for this semester by half." The middle-aged man assured her.

"Okay, thank you, teacher." Cheng Qiao touched his head and said casually, "My mother said I disliked No. 1 Middle School and suggested that I go to No. 5 Middle School."

"No. 5 Middle School is not as close to your home as Xinghua Middle School! You can get home in five or six minutes after school." The female teacher at the side also advised, "Although No. 5 Middle School is also on our side, it takes at least 20 minutes to walk!"

"Yeah, that's right. I'll go home and discuss it." Cheng Qiao got up and prepared to leave.

"This is my business card. Call me after you've discussed it!" The middle-aged man handed over his business card.

Cheng Qiao took the business card and saw the words Tong Jian written on it. She smiled and said, "Goodbye, Teacher Tong."

"Hey, wait a minute." Teacher Tong quickly took out a piece of paper and a pen, "Student Cheng Qiao, leave your contact information."

Cheng Qiao pushed Cheng Zhu beside her, and he understood and left Cheng Gu's number.

The three teachers accompanied her to the school gate. Before they parted, Teacher Tong instructed, "Cheng Qiao, you must communicate well with your parents! I will help you fight for school benefits."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Tong."

After saying goodbye to the three teachers, Cheng Qiao took Cheng Zhu to the park. It was nearly four o'clock and the two aunts were still there. Cheng Qiao handed over a fax paper and a copy of her ID card. "Sisters, I'm so sorry. I guess I didn't bring my ID card back from school. I can't find it at home. My mother only found a copy. I can only fax one copy of the certificate because I'm in a hurry."

After reading the information, the two nodded, "Okay, we'll start work tomorrow and go directly to the Municipal Archives Bureau."

"Okay! How long can I work? How much is the salary?" After seeing that he had passed the safety test, Cheng Qiao asked his own questions.

"The leader asked us to complete the task before the 10th of next month." The aunt on the left said, "As for wages, the more you work, the more you get. At your speed, two thousand yuan a month is no problem."

"Okay, thank you! I can buy a smart phone after I finish this." Cheng Qiao said happily.

"Little girl, there is no holiday this month. You are working from 7am to 7pm every day. The company only provides lunch!"

"Okay! I understand! Thank you, sisters." Cheng Qiao was very happy. "See you tomorrow, sisters."

Cheng Qiao pulled Cheng Zhu for a distance and then jumped for joy. "Yeah, yeah! That's great! The tuition fee can be settled."

"Sister, can you make 2,000 yuan in the summer vacation?"

"That's more than that!" Cheng Qiao recalled that in her last life, she was preparing to work as a summer intern after studying for a year at Qihang Computer Technical School. A senior from the previous class introduced her to this place where she worked last year. Because it was a temporary and sudden job and they had to rush the deadline, there were a total of 15 girls, each of whom earned more than 3,000 yuan, and the highest earner earned 5,000 yuan. However, this job was only available this year. In the second summer vacation, she went to work in an advertising store for two and a half months, and the boss gave her a symbolic salary of 300 yuan...

It was almost five o'clock when the two of them got back to Cheng Gu's stall. Cheng Gu bought a roast duck and handed it to the two of them. "You can go directly to my house. Your cousin will bring the aardvark back to stew it. When your uncle comes back later, I will ask him to bring another fish."

"Okay!" Cheng Qiao was about to leave with the roast duck in her hand. At this time, Grandma Hu, whom she met in the morning, came with a basket to buy vegetables. Seeing Cheng Qiao, she greeted her happily, "Little girl, we meet again."
