Chapter 41 Planning and warnings for the next year

Up to now, the money I earned from setting up my own stall has completely covered my tuition and living expenses.

However, since I have made up my mind to go to college and leave this small city.

You should not only focus on the immediate tuition and living expenses, but also have longer-term plans.

For example, the tuition fees and living expenses for college entrance examinations should also be considered in advance.

Although there are student loans and so on, Shen Mengyue doesn't like the feeling of owing money because of her cautiousness in the past three years, and she always feels uneasy.

This may be an idea that many people have, and they don’t like to owe something.

If possible, think of a solution yourself!

After a rough calculation, she estimated that after she was admitted to college, the tuition and living expenses for four years would be at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.

This is still a situation without any surprises.

Therefore, this profitable business cannot be given up so easily.

In order to better plan how to take care of the fried skewers stall business after returning to school, she listed her plans for the next year on paper, which made it clearer.

First, there is the issue of purchasing.

After school starts, she doesn't have to go there in person. She can leave it to Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li.

After all, during this period of time, she took Uncle Zhang's minivan to go shopping with him. Uncle Zhang knew what she wanted to buy, so it wouldn't be too much trouble for her along the way.

Secondly, the school’s noon dismissal time is from 11:30 to 13:30, with a two-hour break in between.

Two hours is not a long time, and it is not a short time. Excluding returning to the construction site after school, eating and resting, it is only more than an hour of free time.

In this little time, it is absolutely too late to get out of the stall.

Moreover, if she wants to ensure that she always has enough energy to study, she will not be able to set up a stall as hard as before every day, noon and night.

Therefore, in order to better balance work and rest, I have no choice but to give up at noon.

However, it can be used to arrange vegetables and string skewers, prepare enough goods to be sold in the evening, and memorize words while stringing string skewers. This is still okay.

There is more time in the evening.

Because their school ends at 17:30 in the afternoon and there is no compulsory self-study in the evening, there is enough time left to rush to the night market to set up stalls without missing the time period with the largest flow of people.

The stall can be set up until 21:00 at night.

In this way, the income will not be much less, and she does not expect to continue to make a lot of money every day. She will be satisfied with eight or nine hundred yuan.

After returning home, I can review my homework for two hours until 23:00, then wash up and go to bed, no big problem.

Thinking like this, Shen Mengyue suddenly laughed at herself for no reason as she looked at the series of plans for the start of school listed on the paper.

"Now I can earn more than a thousand yuan every day by setting up a stall. It seems like what my sister said, it's not that important whether I study or not, right?"

"After all, even highly educated white-collar workers in many big cities may not have as much income as I do, right?"

"If I really go to college and find out later that my salary is not as high as what I am doing now, that would be ridiculous!"

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but silently settle the score in her heart.

"Based on the fact that I can make a net profit of 1,000 yuan per day from setting up a stall, that would be 10,000 yuan in ten days, 30,000 yuan in one month, and 300,000 yuan in a year, excluding living expenses and other guarantees!"

"There are four years of college, and one more year of high school. It's five years in total. If I don't use this time to study, but use it all to set up a stall, I can earn at least 1.5 million in these five years, which is a bit scary. Got it!"

“Can I really find a job that pays so well after I graduate from college?”

Of course, Shen Mengyue was just making fun of herself for thinking this way, and would not really do it.

After all, she went back to school and took the college entrance examination not only to make money, but also to realize her dreams.

You can set up a stall at any time, and there is no technical difficulty. But if you miss the dream, you really miss it, and you will never get it back in your life!

How do you say that?

People still have to have dreams, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish?

Moreover, the reason why her business is so good now and her work is going smoothly is because she has received the support of many noble people.

It was because it was difficult for a girl like her to go back to school that she tried her best to help her.

Once I know that she gave up her dreams so easily just to make money, I'm afraid I won't try my best to help her, but will look down on her.

What's more, she also promised Uncle Liu Qiang that she would take her daughter Niannian to go to a good university. She couldn't give up so easily!

So thinking of this, Shen Mengyue quickly shook her head to get rid of these messy thoughts in her mind, picked up the textbook on the small table again, and began to review seriously.

Make yourself obsessed with learning and have no distractions!

………………

But in the dormitory, Shen Mengyue spent almost all the afternoon reviewing.

It was a math paper that I was writing furiously, frowning and thinking hard for more than two hours before I finally finished it.

I took out the correct answers, compared them, and corrected them myself. Looking at the final score, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"92 points is a bit poor. You must know that the full score in mathematics is 150 points!"

"My level of barely passing is because I have some experience in the past. You know, in the past, when I took the test casually, I always scored 120 or above!"

"That's not possible. Mathematics is a score-raising subject. It's okay to get into college with a score of 90, but it's difficult to get into a good college. You have to continue to check for omissions and fill in the gaps!"

But overall, Shen Mengyue was still very satisfied.

Looking at the several math papers she had done on the table, from the initial 50 or 60 points, to the 70 or 80 points, and now to the current 90 points, it shows that her review during this period has been very effective. , visible progress has been made.

This is also thanks to her carefulness and planning.

I know that even in the college entrance examination, there are many relatively simple basic questions.

As long as you master these basic questions, you will have no problem passing the exam.

So during this period of time, she has been working hard on these basic questions, and she has mastered them pretty well. She basically won them without losing any points!

As for the problem of widening the gap between top students and ordinary students, we are still a little helpless for the time being.

This is not something she can make up for through hard work alone. In this regard, she still has to go back to school and listen to the teacher's explanations. She can't figure it out by always working behind closed doors in the dormitory.

So after checking the answers, she immediately took out her correction book and copied down all the difficult questions that she didn't know or had done wrong.

When you are preparing to start school, take it to the school and ask the teacher for advice. Prepare to master it thoroughly, and you will not lose points when you encounter similar problems in the future.

"Bang bang bang!"

Just when Shen Mengyue was copying the wrong question, suddenly, there was a knock on the door of her dormitory.

"Xiao Shen, can we come in?"

Hearing this, hearing the voice of Manager Wang Li, Shen Mengyue was slightly surprised and immediately put down her pen and ran to open the door.

"Manager Wang Li, why are you here? Come in quickly."

The people coming were Wang Li, the project manager of the construction site, Li Xing, the production manager, and Sun Chen, the head of the planning department.

After seeing Shen Mengyue open the door, Wang Lishi, who was familiar with her, smiled and said. "It's nothing, Xiao Shen, we were just passing by and came to see you."

"Especially these two guys, after hearing about your deeds, they insisted on coming to see you, saying that they want to see you, a sonorous rose that is still climbing up despite adversity!"

Shen Mengyue said immediately embarrassed.

"What's the matter? Manager Wang Li, you've given me the praise. I just want to go back to school and study. There's nothing worth praising."

Sun Chen, the head of the construction site planning department on the side, said with a smile.

"Hey, Xiao Shen, don't belittle yourself. I've heard about your deeds from Manager Wang. It's really inspiring!"

"So we are going to apply with the above to subsidize your tuition. Of course, in return, after you are admitted to university, can you cooperate with our construction site to promote it?"

Immediately, hearing what Manager Sun said, Shen Mengyue felt embarrassed again.

"Why is this so embarrassing, Manager Sun? It cost you money. Besides, I still have no chance of getting into college. I won't know for sure until a year later. How can I receive a salary without any merit?"

Sun Chen waved his hand and said.

"What's the matter? Manager Wang has already said that Xiao Shen, you have good academic performance!"

"Furthermore, I believe that with your determination to study even at the construction site and your tenacity to return to school, getting into a good university is a sure thing!"

"Are you not confident in yourself or in us?"

"Of course, don't put too much mental burden on you. It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam. This is just a small sum of money to us."

"If I could get an inspirational story about going to college on a construction site, I would make a lot of money! I would say it would be one of the top ten inspiring people in China!"

Seeing Shen Mengyue blushing and not knowing what to say, Manager Wang Li hurriedly stepped forward to help her out.

"Okay, Old Sun, you said you didn't put any pressure on your children? It's not as exaggerated as you said. You even touched the top ten inspirational figures in China and even scared Xiao Shen."

After saying that, Wang Lishi rolled his eyes at Sun Chen angrily and continued.

"It's okay, Xiao Shen, don't listen to him. This guy probably drank too much and hasn't sobered up yet!"

"If you can really apply for this scholarship, you can take it with peace of mind. After all, it should have been given to you three years ago. I owe it to you!"

"Of course, the process is rather slow, and I may not be able to provide it to you before school starts. It will have to be delayed for a few months, but it doesn't matter. If you really have any difficulties, just tell me first, and I will help you first."

Shen Mengyue waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, no, manager Wang Li, you're spending money without bothering me. I've already saved enough for tuition and living expenses, so I don't need any more support. You'd better leave it to those who need it more!"

Wang Li smiled and shook his head.

"How can that be done? I've already applied for it. It's just for you. If you don't want it, who will want it?"

"Just take it with peace of mind. As Lao Sun said, if you can really get into college, that will be the greatest reward for us!"

"After all, we have sponsored an inspiring college student. When we say this, we will be proud of it. When we drink at the wine table, we can brag a few more glasses!"

While comforting Shen Mengyue, who seemed a little at a loss, while looking at the test papers and review materials on the table, Wang Li was once again concerned about the questions and answers.

"How's it going? School starts soon, right?"

"Yeah!" Shen Mengyue nodded sincerely.

"There are only a few days left. School will officially start on September 1st."

"That's almost it. You did all this. You've been out of school for three years. Can you still keep up with the progress?"

Shen Mengyue nodded honestly again.

"The simple ones are okay, but the complicated ones are a bit difficult. There are many difficult problems that I have forgotten how to do."

"Really, let me see?"

"To be honest, Xiao Shen, I was also a top student back then, and mathematics was my strong point. Maybe I can teach you in advance."

"Hehe, I'm about the same. Let me take a look. I haven't looked at these high school math problems for a long time. I've almost forgotten them!"

"Hmm, I was the math class representative in my class back then, and I came first in the exam. Let's see how difficult it is!"

Even Li Xing and Sun Chen, who were standing by, their eyes lit up when they saw the mathematics test paper in Wang Li's hand, and they excitedly stepped forward to study it.

At this moment, three well-known managers at the construction site were gathered around a small table, pointing at a math test paper, and expressing their opinions one after another. No one was convinced by the other, and Shen Mengyue was dumbfounded!

She was originally full of joy and thought that the three of them were top students who graduated from well-known universities and could give her some unique problem-solving ideas and insights.

But after listening for a long time, I realized that what the three people were saying was completely different from the truth. Let alone ninety points, the three grown men together could not even get sixty points.

So after a while, they were arguing and complaining to each other.

"Hey, wait, wait, this is a space geometry problem, your solution must be wrong!"

"I think you just drank too much. You have memorized the theorems wrongly. Space geometry should be understood using vectors. Listen to me and keep it correctly!"

"Haha, come on, the correct answer is this. You all did it wrong, and you are still arguing here? Do you have the nerve to say that you are a master of mathematics?"

After shaking his head with a headache on his face, Wang Lishi took the lead to withdraw from the argument, blushing slightly as he looked at Shen Mengyue who was dumbfounded.

"Sorry, Xiao Shen, we have overestimated ourselves. It has been so long since we graduated and most of our knowledge has been given back to the teacher!"

"You are still awesome. You took three years off school and still achieved a passing level. We can't compare to you!"

"So don't give up. You are good at studying. If you study hard, you will definitely get into a good university!"

Hearing what Wang Li said, even Li Xing and Sun Chen stopped arguing and nodded with a smile.

"That's right, Xiao Shen, it seems that you are the real academic master among us! Not to mention passing the exam, now that we are doing this paper, we will be grateful if we can get thirty points."

"Yes, you can still be in this state after taking a three-year break from school, but you must take advantage of it. Setting up a stall at the night market is not a long-term solution after all!"

Manager Wang Li said bluntly.

"That's right, Xiao Shen, I know that you are doing a good job setting up a stall in the night market and making some money. It is inevitable that you will have some other ideas, but as someone who has been there, I must warn you in advance."

"Relying on manual labor to make money is always the stupidest way. You are a smart person, so you must learn how smart people make money!"

"For example, even if you set up a stall at a night market and can earn two or three hundred thousand a year, it's only two or three hundred thousand. It can only go so far, and no more. You can see the future at a glance!"

"And you have to know that most of the reason why this night market is so popular is because of the support of our construction site."

"But next year, our construction site will be almost completed. By then, the project will be over and the workers will disperse, and the popularity of the night market may never come back."

"If you still stay here to set up a stall, your business will most likely plummet. Even if you change locations with the construction site, there will be new troubles in the new place. If you want to start it again, it won't be that easy!"

"So it's better to be safe when going to college and take a longer-term view. Don't make any decisions that you will regret for the rest of your life just because you are addicted to making money. Do you understand?"
