Li Yunhai did apply for the Adult College Entrance Examination together with Shen Xiulan, but he was too busy during this period and forgot about it.

When he returned home in the evening, Li Yunhai took out the set of adult college entrance examination books and read them.

Lin Zhi looked amused: "I thought you signed up just for fun! Do you really want to take the exam? Then you are really interesting. The exam is the day after tomorrow, and I started reading today. This is called sharpening one's skills before the battle."

Li Yunhai lowered his head to read a book and said, "If you don't like it, it's just a waste! Do you want to take a diploma together?"

Lin Zhi said: "Last time I met Teacher Li Guyai, she said that I have a good voice, and that I have a foundation in dance and musical instruments. She said that I am a good prospect. She can introduce me to further study in Shanyin, and I can join the Oriental Youth Song and Dance Troupe after graduation. "

"Oriental Youth Song and Dance Troupe? Such a familiar name. By the way, I saw it at the Spring Festival Gala. Is it from Shanghai?"

"Yes, it's in Shanghai."

"Then did you promise?"

"I said I would think about it."

"Have you considered it? This is really a good opportunity. With your talent, if you work hard in this field, you will definitely make achievements."

"But I don't want to be separated from you. I went to Shanghai to work and you are in Xizhou? Then we are too far apart."

"It's okay, we can move to Shanghai."

"What about the company?"

"Just move the company headquarters there."

"is it okay?"

"Why not? I am very optimistic about Shanghai's future development."

"But if I go to school for further study, who will do the personnel work in the company?"

"This is simple, just arrange for someone else to do it. For example, if we move to Shanghai, we can ask Sister Gong to be transferred to the headquarters to be the human resources manager."

Lin Zhi was moved.

She is still just a 20-year-old girl.

When she first graduated from art school, her family wanted to arrange for her to continue her studies.

But after several years of study, she found that she didn't like the singing and dancing industry, so she chose to work.

Later, after she met and fell in love with Li Yunhai, she felt that as her girlfriend, it was natural for her to help Li Yunhai start his own business, so she resolutely resigned and went to work.

People's ideals and ideas will change over time.

Love will deteriorate, work will change, the sea will turn into mulberry fields, the bed will turn into a shabby room and the hall will become empty, and the singing and dancing venue will turn into withered grass and willows.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the passage of time.

The love between Lin Zhi and Li Yunhai has developed for two years and has long since passed its climax.

After she experienced the work of the Art Troupe, the Cultural Bureau, and the Sihai Group, her mind and dreams have changed greatly.

People around her kept praising her, and even teacher Li Guyai said she was a good talent. It would be a pity not to join a song and dance troupe. She would definitely become a pillar of a national song and dance troupe in the future.

Three people become tigers, and more people talk about it, so Lin Zhi has different ideas.

Now that even Li Yunhai supports her, she has no worries anymore.

"Yunhai, is it possible to move the company headquarters to Shanghai? We don't have any foundation in Shanghai."

"We are facing the global market. What foundation do we have in other countries? Do you think so?"

"If you are sure, then I will take the exam and give it a try. If I pass the exam, then I will go to study. Do you agree?"

"Just in time, I'm going to go there in a while, and Gong Jie has already gone over to prepare for the branch. Let's go there together then?"

"Yunhai, are you really willing to let me go to school and then join the song and dance troupe?"

"Don't ask me, you have to ask yourself. Are you willing to go? If it is something you definitely want to do, then I will definitely support you."

"To be honest, I don't know. I can't tell. Many times, I am also confused. But one thing I am sure of is that no matter what I do, I want to be with you."

"Fool, of course we will be together. You want to break up, but I'm still reluctant to let you go!"

"Hee! Then I'll give it a try! What if I fail the exam? Then I'll come back to help you."

Li Yunhai held her face and said, "I hope you follow your heart and do what you really want to do. If we love each other, we will never be separated no matter what."

Lin Zhi fell sweetly into Li Yunhai's arms, feeling indescribable happiness.

Two days later, Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan participated in the adult college entrance examination held by the local education department.

Regarding the college entrance examination in the 80s, including the college entrance examination for senior students, there are two extreme explanations.Some people say that the college entrance examination in the 80s was quite difficult, while others say it was not as difficult as in later generations.

Students at that time did not know about the "test". People with urban registered permanent residence would have the opportunity to recruit workers and replace their parents, so they were not very interested in studying. And because the admission rate was too low, most people had little hope for the college entrance examination, so they were confused. I was confused and didn't roll with all my strength.Rural areas also don’t value education, and even if they do, they don’t have better educational resources.So as long as you have some IQ and are willing to endure a little hardship, you may stand out and become a blockbuster!

Li Yunhai prefers the latter statement.

Just like Li Yunfang and Shen Xiuling, they were originally unable to enter university, but after the guidance and promotion of Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan, they were actually admitted to university.

The difficulty of the adult college entrance examination is probably the same.

Li Yunhai didn't study at all, and he had forgotten all the knowledge he had in school for two and a half years.

After the test, he and Shen Xiulan checked their answers and estimated their scores. He was about 80 points lower than Shen Xiulan!
This is the result of Shen Xiulan's hard work.

Li Yunhai smiled bitterly, thinking that he would probably lose his reputation.

After finishing the exam, Li Yunhai stopped paying attention to this matter and focused on business management.

After arranging the order production tasks for the Autumn Canton Fair, Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi came to Shanghai together.

They stayed at the International Hotel and then met Gong Jie.

Gong Jie has rented a space in Shanghai, on Jiujiang Road near the Bund and Nanjing Road, which is the most prosperous business district in the city.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi went to investigate and felt that this location was good for opening a company, but it seemed a bit remote when used as a store.

Gong Jie said that the only way to find a shop is on Nanjing Road or the Bund?There are many tourists on the Bund, and ordinary people cannot rent that row of ancient buildings.The best locations are Nanjing Road or Huaihai Road.

Li Yunhai said that you can just go to Nanjing Road and look for it. It doesn’t matter if the price is higher. If the other party is willing to sell it, that’s the best, and we will buy it. We are in a long-term business. After renting it for decades, it is better to buy it.

Gong Jie said she understood. When she learned that Lin Zhi was here to take the Shangyin Entrance Examination, she encouraged her: "You will definitely succeed!"

On this day, Li Yunhai sent Lin Zhi to Shangyin to participate in the trials.

I heard that this is a special recruitment class, only recruiting 30 people.

Li Yunhai and the others arrived at the scene and saw, my dear, there are at least 3000 people who came to take the exam. This is really the cream of the crop.

These contestants come from all over the country and are all very young and beautiful girls and boys. The youngest is only 15 years old and the oldest is in his 30s.

Lin Zhi is on the younger side among this group of people, and her looks and figure are above average.

Li Yunhai felt that her chances of winning should be very good.

When it was almost Linzhi's turn to take the exam, she suddenly became very nervous. She took Li Yunhai's hand and said, "I haven't practiced dancing or musical instruments for a long time. You see, I have been playing for more than two years. If I don’t practice seriously, I will definitely fail the exam!”

Li Yunhai pinched her palm and said, "You are too nervous. Just like when I took the adult college entrance examination, I was also blindly nervous. But after taking the test, I found that it is not that difficult."

It was Linzhi's turn to enter.

The exam ended soon, at least that's how Li Yunhai felt.

As soon as Lin Zhi came out, her face was filled with grievances, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Just when Li Yunhai was about to ask how the exam went, Lin Zhi threw herself into his arms and cried softly.

"What's wrong?" Li Yunhai lifted her shoulders, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and asked, "You did well on the exam? Were you moved to tears?"

Lin Zhi wanted to laugh, but couldn't. She flattened her lips and said, "I didn't pass the exam. The judges eliminated me on the spot."

Li Yunhai said: "No way? Are these judges and teachers blind? They don't accept such a good student like you? Just don't want it! It's Shangyin's loss if they don't want you! We won't donate buildings to them in the future. ah!"

Lin Zhi couldn't hold it any longer and was amused by his words. She lightly punched his chest and said, "You're still laughing! I didn't pass the exam. Are you very happy? I can accompany you to make waves in the Sihai Group again!"

Li Yunhai picked her up and said, "You're right. On the surface, I said it didn't matter and sent you to take the exam, but in fact, I still hope you won't pass!"

Lin Zhi's pink fists fell on him like raindrops, and she said, "Everyone is looking at us! Put me down quickly!"

Li Yunhai carried her out and said, "What are you afraid of? We are a legal couple! What's wrong with a hug? They are just jealous!"

Lin Zhi was extremely shy and buried her head in Li Yunhai's arms.

Li Yunhai hugged her and walked away.

Lin Zhi analyzed the reason why she was not selected. Although she was talented, she had not practiced her professional knowledge seriously for a long time.Teacher Li Guyai praised her as a good seedling, which was not wrong, but there was also an element of flattery in it, and no matter how good the seedling was, it would take hard training to succeed.

Standing outside the gate of Shangyin, Lin Zhi looked back at this sacred ideal university and said: "At least I have been here and I have worked hard for my dream!"

Seeing her reluctance, Li Yunhai said, "Ling Zhi, if you must enter this school, we have a way to donate a few buildings to them!"

Lin Zhi shook her head: "Yunfang knows that she has to rely on her own ability to get into the exam, am I not even as good as Yunfang? Teacher Li originally said hello for me and asked me to be specially recruited, but I didn't agree. I said , if I don’t pass the exam, then there is no need for me to go to school again.”

Li Yunhai said: "Don't be sad. In the future, we will organize our own song and dance troupe and recruit students from famous schools such as Shangyin, Shanghai Opera, Beijing Opera, Beijing Dance, and Shanghai Dance. You will manage them! Do you want them to Let them dance whatever you want to dance, and let them sing whatever song you want them to sing!”

Lin Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What's wrong with you? I don't like this at all!"

Li Yunhai sighed: "Ling Zhi, you didn't pass the exam. I took the Adult College Entrance Examination, and I probably didn't pass it either. It seems that God is very fair. We didn't put in the effort, so there is no gain in this area."

Lin Zhi said: "Yunhai, I no longer want to join the song and dance troupe. In fact, I don't really like these things in the first place. What I want to do most is to help you give birth to a big fat boy, and then raise a husband and raise children at home. Aren't these days more comfortable? Look at Sister Gong, after so many years of success and fame, doesn't she still want to return to her original nature? "

The two came to find Gong Jie.

Gong Jie found a storefront on Nanjing Road, with an area of ​​400 square meters. It was very good to use as a store, but it was a storefront of a state-owned unit and was not for sale.

Li Yunhai knew that state-owned assets had not been sold off in large quantities in recent years, so he was not in a hurry. He could rent them first and then buy them later when they wanted to sell them.

This storefront used to be the sales department of a state-owned cloth store.

Nowadays, the business of the cloth store is not easy, so the company removed the sales department and rented it out.

After Sihai Group rents it, it only needs simple decoration before it can be opened.Gong Jie asked Linzhi how the exam results were?
Lin Zhi said that she was eliminated and did not need to participate in the second round.

Gong Jie said that she knew Shangyin’s teacher, and would she like to help find connections?

Lin Zhi said there was no need to look for it, I accepted my fate!My life is to accompany Yunhai and be his good wife and mother.

Gong Jie smiled and said, then your life is too good!Who wouldn’t want to be the wife of a billionaire?

Lin Zhi chuckled.

Gong Jie said: "To be honest, Lin Zhi, if I had a boyfriend as good as Mr. Li, I would definitely not become an actor. Why bother? Why bother?"

Lin Zhi thinks about it too!My current life is already at a height that countless people envy and cannot reach. Instead of pursuing that illusory so-called dream, it is more practical to guard the gold mine of Li Yunhai.

If she really lost Li Yunhai because she continued her studies, she would definitely regret it to death.

The office space and store of the branch have been secured, and recruiting people in Shanghai is very simple. This is a big city with a population of tens of millions, and there will always be unemployment and joblessness.

That night, Li Yunhai invited Lin Zhi and Gong Jie to have dinner at the International Hotel.

He specially ordered a bottle of good red wine, filled a glass for everyone, and said, "We celebrate Linzhi's failure to get into Shangyin!"

Lin Zhi chuckled and said, "You didn't pass the exam and you still want to celebrate?"

Li Yunhai said: "Of course we have to celebrate. Shangyin is not short of a student. But I, Li Yunhai, am short of a good wife!"

Lin Zhi was moved and drank from the glass in one gulp.

They ate Western food, there was a piano in the restaurant, and a pianist was playing.

Lin Zhi suddenly felt itchy and said, "I'm going to play a song!"

She got up and went to the pianist and said a few words.

The pianist stood up, gave up his seat to her, and made a gesture of invitation.

Lin Zhi waved to Li Yunhai and Gong Jie.

Li Yunhai raised his hand and made an OK gesture.

Lin Zhi worked up her emotions for a while and played with all her heart.

She plays the Symphony of Destiny.

It opens with four notes: short, short, short, long rhythm, like the god of fate knocking on the door, and also very similar to Lin Zhi's ups and downs of mood before and after this exam.

She only played a section and then came back and sat down.

Lin Zhi's performance this time was unexpectedly very good and received warm applause from the audience.

Gong Jie was surprised and said: "Ling Zhi, you can't even get into Shangyin at your level? No way? Did the judging teacher really make the wrong score?"

Lin Zhi said helplessly: "Otherwise, how can we call it fate?"

She and Li Yunhai stayed in Shanghai for a few days until the branch was established.

Gong Jie is responsible for the decoration and opening of the store.

Gong Jie officially quit the film industry and became the manager of the Sihai Group branch.

After Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi returned to Xizhou, the results of the Adult College Entrance Examination also came out.

He felt that he would definitely fail the exam, so he did not go to check the results.

This weekend, Shen Xiulan came back from checking her scores and came to Li Yunhai's house.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi were cooking.

He opened the door, invited Shen Xiulan in, and said with a smile, "Where have you been this morning?"

Shen Xiulan took out two pieces of paper and said with a smile: "I'm going to check the test results! This is mine, this is yours."

Li Yunhai waved his hand: "You don't need to read mine. The score is too low and too shocking."

Shen Xiulan chuckled and said, "Just take a look! You passed the exam!"

Li Yunhai didn't believe it and just shook his head: "Absolutely impossible!"

Shen Xiulan stretched out the transcript in front of him: "Read it yourself."

Li Yunhai's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Really?"

Shen Xiulan smiled happily and said: "Yes, we both passed, we both passed the exam!"

Li Yunhai thought to himself, isn't this too easy?

There was an 80-point difference in the scores between him and Shen Xiulan, but both of them passed the test at the same time.

It was a waste for Shen Xiulan to score so many points.

Lin Zhi came over, looked at their transcripts, and said, "You all did well in the exam, but I was not admitted! Alas!"

Shen Xiulan said: "Ling Zhi, why don't you also study for the Adult College Entrance Examination with us? It's very easy to take the exam. You can even pass it by looking at the sea of ​​clouds!"

Li Yunhai glared and said, "What do you mean you've passed even me? Am I bad?"

Shen Xiulan pursed her lips and smiled: "You are 80 points lower than me! This is a fact!"

Lin Zhi said: "Forget it, I'm different from you. I went to an art school before, and the cultural classes were relatively poor. When I was in the art school, we mainly studied art, and my cultural skills were far behind you. Even if I take the exam, I may not be able to pass it.”

Shen Xiulan said: "You are the boss's wife anyway. It doesn't matter whether you have a college degree or not. No matter if someone has a master's degree or a doctorate, if they want to join our Sihai Group, you have to come for the interview!"

Lin Zhi laughed so much that she bent down: "You have the most powerful mouth!"

After Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan pass the exam, they will study through full-time, part-time, and correspondence courses.

They chose correspondence courses, self-study on weekdays, and only half a month of intensive teaching on weekends, winter and summer vacations.It is mainly provided by teachers for tutoring and answering questions, assignments, examinations, course design, graduation projects and defenses.

To celebrate them passing the exam, Lin Zhi cooked some delicious dishes, brought out a bottle of good wine, and the three of them ate and drank together.

After lunch, Lin Zhi said that it was a rare good day today, let’s go out for a walk?
Li Yunhai asked where to go to play?

Lin Zhi said to go to Martyrs Park and stop by the zoo.

The old zoo in Xizhou is right next to Martyrs Park, and the south gate is connected to the park.

Li Yunhai has been studying and working in Xizhou for so many years, but he has never been to a zoo.

When I was in school, I didn't go because I was poor and couldn't afford the tickets.

After work, he was too busy and had no time to go.

It's rare that I have both money and leisure today. I also have two beauties accompanying me to visit the park together. What fun would it be?

The three of them drove to the park. They first took a walk in the park, admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains, and then bought tickets to enter the zoo.

There are more than 200 kinds of animals and more than 2000 animals in the park.

More than 3700 meters of green hedges wind between flower beds, lawns, bamboo gardens, and peach groves, and are equipped with stone tables and benches to form a garden within a garden.

Lin Zhi brought her camera, and when she saw an animal she liked, she asked Li Yunhai to take a photo of her and the animal.

She took Shen Xiulan to take pictures together again.

Asian elephants, Siberian tigers, clouded leopards, giraffes, hippos, African lions, zebras, mandrills, Arabian baboons and other exotic animals are all here.

There are also animal and bird taming performances free to watch all day long, and you can enjoy the wonderful water stunts of large marine animals.

The wonderful performances of dolphins and sea lions in the dolphinarium are even more breathtaking.

Li Yunhai and the others had a great time, as if they were back in their childhood.

After watching the dolphin show, Li Yunhai and the others still came out from the south gate and went for a walk in Martyrs Park.

The sun was setting in the west now, and the evening wind was blowing the woman's hair and clothes.

In November in Xizhou, the weather is neither cold nor hot, so wearing two layers of clothing is just right.

When passing Yingfeng Bridge, Lin Zhi smiled and said: "Sea of ​​clouds, the scenery here is great, let me take a picture for you!"

Li Yunhai leaned on the railing and let Lin Zhi take a picture.

Shen Xiulan suddenly came over, stood next to Li Yunhai, and said, "Ling Zhi, take a photo of me and Yunhai."

Lin Zhi couldn't refuse, so she smiled and said, "Okay!"

Shen Xiulan smiled at Li Yunhai and said, "Be more natural and friendly! Don't be so serious!"

As she said that, she grabbed Li Yunhai's hand and put it on her shoulder. The two of them were like lovers.

Lin Zhi looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Shen Xiulan shouted: "Ling Zhi, have you finished filming?"

Lin Zhi said: "Wait a minute, shoot now. One, two, three, that's it!"

She was holding a Polaroid camera, and the photos came out immediately after taking the photo.

Shen Xiulan ran over and waited for the photo to come out. She took it in her hand and looked at it. She smiled and said, "The photo was taken well. This photo belongs to me!"

After saying that, she put the photo into her bag and walked forward with a smile.

Lin Zhi asked Li Yunhai, "Why do I feel that Xiulan's attitude towards you is different?"

Li Yunhai said: "What's the difference? You mean I put my hand on her shoulder when we were taking pictures? She put my hand on it, you saw it with your own eyes!"

Lin Zhi said: "I am not a stingy person, and this is not what I am talking about. I always feel that her attitude towards you is different from before."

Li Yunhai said guiltily: "What's the difference? I think it's still the same."

Lin Zhi asked seriously: "No, something must have happened between you two. Are you hiding something from me?"
