The banquet to celebrate Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan's admission to university was held as scheduled. The venue was chosen to be a large hotel in the city. The entire hall was booked, plus several small private rooms. Many people familiar with Shen Zhizhu also came to the banquet.

Shen Chunli and Erya each brought a bouquet of flowers and gave them to Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan respectively.

"Sister Xiaozhu, Brother Haonan, these two bouquets of flowers were picked out one by one by Sister Chunli, who made them herself. She said that it is meaningful to make them by hand."

Shen Zhizhu held the flower and couldn't let it go. He looked at it left and right and thought it was very beautiful.

"Sister Chunli has good taste. The flowers she selected look really nice when put together. I'll take them home later. Come on, I specially cleared that room. There aren't many people here. You can eat as much as you want."

Shen Chunli was very familiar with the couple, so how could she be polite? She just went straight to the box.

"They are just little things I bought to make you two happy. They are not worth taking home. Besides, these flowers will wither in three to five days. They won't smell good and will have to be thrown away."

The flowers that were delivered were a bit big. Shen Zhizhu held them for a while and then wanted to change hands to hold them, but Xu Haonan took them away.

"Azhu, take Sister Chunli and the others to the private room first. I'll find a place to put the flowers so they won't bump into each other later."

Shen Zhizhu nodded. She knew that the other party had noticed that it was inconvenient for her to hold it.

Erya looked at the hotel and thought it was really big. She couldn't help but worry about the cost.

"Sister Xiaozhu, I think this restaurant is well decorated. You have booked a hall and several private rooms at once. It must be very expensive."

Although Shen Chunli paid Erya a salary higher than most other jobs in the city, she felt distressed when she thought about spending so much of the money she had saved with great difficulty.

"Besides, you and Brother Haonan will go to Beijing to study. There will be places to spend money everywhere. If it's not enough, just tell Erya. Although I usually eat a lot, I have saved a lot of money."

Shen Zhizhu was touched by Erya and thought the little girl was really cute. He reached out and patted her on the head.

"Don't worry, I'm your sister, and I know what's going on."

Shen Chunli also laughed out loud.

"Your sister Xiaozhu is very rich. Up to now, she has spent all her savings. It seems that there is still some money left. But don't forget that she still has some money from me. It must be at least several thousand."

Looking at Erya's surprised expression, Shen Zhizhu found it very interesting.

"Don't worry. Your brother Haonan went to the mountains to hunt a lot of game before winter. He sold them all and saved some at home. Aunt Li also made some simple gifts for our store. According to the agreement, she will give me a sum of money every month."

Shen Zhizhu pointed to the hall.

"The owner of this restaurant is a nice guy. He knew we were admitted to Peking University and said he would give us a discount. He also gave us two dishes for free. All in all, it didn't cost too much."

"Besides, on the eve of our exam, our house caught fire and many villagers came to help. At that time, we said we would treat everyone to a meal. Now that it has been delayed until now, I feel embarrassed to just deal with it casually."

Erya didn't expect it to be like this, but she didn't understand.

"Why is the boss willing to give a discount? Is it just because Xiaozhu-san got into Kyoto University? Won't they lose money this way?"

Shen Chunli hit Erya on the head.

"Stupid, think about it. When the time comes, they will advertise in their restaurant that the two people who were admitted to Beijing City had eaten in their restaurant. Besides, Xiaozhu is ranked very high and is the top scorer in many subjects here. In this way, there will be fewer customers eating at their restaurant. How can they lose money?"

Erya nodded in sudden realization, indicating that she now understood. It seemed that her business acumen still needed to be improved.

After sending the two to the box, Shen Zhizhu returned to the door. When she returned, Xu Haonan was already there.

"Tired?"

Shen Zhizhu got up early today, put on makeup, and came to the hotel with Xu Haonan and has been busy ever since.

Xu Haonan is a person who is used to getting up early, but Shen Zhizhu is not. Her work and rest schedule is more flexible. Sometimes she goes to bed early, and often goes to bed late. She likes to work at night.

Unless there is something important in the morning, I don’t want to get up. Even if Xu Haonan calls me to have breakfast, I will do it with sleepy eyes.

He was worried that Shen Zhizhu would feel tired after getting up so early and being busy all the time.

"Go and have a rest. I'm here. Everyone is almost here too. We can start soon. Go to the box and chat with them and take a rest."

Shen Zhizhu couldn't bear to leave Xu Haonan here alone.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. You also said that almost everyone is here. It won't be too late to rest after we finish the work."

"Student Shen Zhizhu, student Xu Haonan, congratulations, you are so awesome, you both got into Beijing, hahahaha."

I heard his voice before I saw him. As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was Principal Gu, who had come with a group of teachers who taught Shen Zhizhu.

Gu Xueer trotted over and hugged Shen Zhizhu's arm.

"I knew that someone who could design such beautiful clothes and whose grades were so good must have done well in the exam. Wow, you got admitted directly to Beijing University. There are so many candidates in our city, but you are the only one who got admitted to Beijing University."

Principal Gu and the group of teachers were all honored and proud to be able to teach the only Peking University student in the city. They were really proud of it.

"You don't know, but right now there are a lot of parents who come to the school in advance to ask if there are any vacancies. They want to send their children in, too. They say they also want their children to be admitted to Beijing and see the prosperous city."

Principal Gu and the group of teachers praised Shen Zhizhu one by one. Even Shen Zhizhu, who had two lifetimes of thick skin, felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

"Oh, it's you guys. What a coincidence! We are here to celebrate Xu Haonan's admission to Beijing. He has achieved such good results in just a few months of study. He is truly gifted and hardworking."

The teachers and principals of the two schools gathered together, and everyone praised Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan, saying that their students were talented and good students.

Gu Xueer couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hey, stop arguing. The young couple got accepted into the same city, and the schools are not far from each other. Why bother about who is more talented? We are here to have a meal and congratulate them, not to quarrel."

Only then did they stop arguing embarrassedly.

"Then, I'll take you to the box."

Shen Zhizhu spoke with a smile and took the people from the two schools to a separate box that was specially reserved for them.
