Down and Out

Chapter 3 Graduated

Seven years ago

Wanhua School of Management and Business, a group of candidates are taking the last exam in this school.

Looking around, some are frowning, some are calm and composed, some are drawing something on the draft paper, and some are drowsy, with different shapes.

As the bell for handing in the test paper rang, Hua Peiyao put down the pen she was holding tightly, handed in the test paper, and looked at the work in her hand with satisfaction.

"Hey, what are you looking at so engrossed in?" Shen Qiuling, a classmate and best friend, patted her on the shoulder, looking at the things in her hands.It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but it’s shocking to see it.

"Okay, Hua Peiyao." Shen Qiuling made a gesture of admiration, "Other students, including your best friend and me, are worried about the lack of time. Fortunately, you even drew the scene of the exam, and it's so good. I'm so envious."

"OK, stop! Wipe your drool quickly, don't get it on my painting." Hua Peiyao snatched back the painting and wiped off the dust that didn't exist, "I can't take pictures, so I have to use paintings As for the exam, it doesn’t matter to me whether I do well or not, my dad has already arranged everything for me.”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Qiuling's envy, which had been so hard to dissipate, rose again.Hua Peiyao is the goddess of this academy. She is good at reading, painting, and has a better family background. She has a father who runs a company. She is also a listed company, and she is one of the best in H City.So she is the envy of all girls without exception, and of course she is no exception.

What's even more rare is that she doesn't have the sense of superiority that is unique to children from rich families, and she feels and thinks the same as ordinary people.So she knows that her dad has arranged everything for her, but she still uses her time to maintain her hobby-painting.

Her paintings have been exhibited at school, and her greatest wish is to hold an exhibition at the Duchuan Art Museum, the most desirable place for all art lovers. Of course, she is also working hard for this goal.

In the cafeteria, the two had a meal and chose to eat in a corner by the window.

"I really didn't expect this to be the last meal in the cafeteria." Shen Qiuling picked up the rice in the bowl, her eyes were full of reluctance, and Hua Peiyao laughed out loud when she saw it.

"Who hates the bad food in the cafeteria all day long. After eating this meal, you don't need to eat in the cafeteria again. You should be happy."

"Aren't I reluctant." Shen Qiuling rolled her eyes, suddenly got up and said "bahhh" to Hua Peiyao, "The most important thing is that I can't bear you."

Hua Peiyao gave her a contemptuous look, and said lazily, "You really can't bear the free lunch."

Shen Qiuling stuck out her tongue mischievously, she would treat guests for dinner for at least half a month, so of course she would be reluctant.

The two ate and chatted, enjoying their last college time to the fullest, but the arrival of a group of uninvited guests broke the tranquility.

A boy dressed in punk and with Sha Matt's hairstyle knocked on the table where they were eating. The two raised their heads and spat out all the food in their mouths in tacit agreement. Coincidentally, it all spit on Sha Matt.

"Well, I'm sorry, we didn't do it on purpose." Hua Peiyao apologized while laughing, after all, she vomited all the food on her, so she would feel sorry if she didn't say something.

The boss who killed Matt stared at him, he was sprayed all over his face before his goal was achieved, and he didn't know what they were laughing at.Just about to get angry, thinking about the purpose of coming here, he cleared his throat and said, "Get out of the way, this is the position of our boss."

"You—who is your boss?" Although Shen Qiuling was suddenly frightened by Shamate, she had stayed with Hua Peiyao for several years anyway, and learned a little about her calmness.No, they were here murderously asking them to give way, but she continued to eat the rice in the bowl like a normal person, and said something irritating.

"Well, today's food is not bad, very fragrant."

The people sitting behind raised their eyebrows unknowingly, and there was an incomprehensible smile on the corner of their mouths, but it made the group of people who killed Matt dare not make any more moves.

"Student, are you new here?" The boss they said came out in person, but what he said made Shen Qiuling want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Are they new students?The more I think about it, the more I laugh, but this also just shows that they are young.

Hua Peiyao swallowed the last mouthful of food, wiped her mouth gracefully with a tissue, and said slowly before they were about to explode: "A few people who are not from our academy."

The leader was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect her to say such a sentence, and how did she see it?A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, everything is ready, why did it show up.

He picked up the water, rinsed his mouth, and picked up the bag: "You are all ready, he is the one who showed his flaws." Pointing to kill Matt, "Uncle, this hairstyle was outdated N years ago Don’t show it off. According to the rules of our college, you have been expelled long ago, and you can still be a tyrant here.”

He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Hey, is it the security office, someone trespassed here—"

Before he could finish speaking, Shamate and his group fled as if fleeing, so there was still time to chat with them.Wanhua Business School is notoriously strict, if they are caught, they will have no good fruit.It's just that the task was not completed, so I don't know if the boss will be angry.

Shen Qiuling silently gave her a thumbs up, seeing the black screen on her phone, she could only lament that this IQ would never compare to hers.

The two walked slowly, not caring about other people's eyes.Hua Peiyao suddenly stopped and looked around.

"What's the matter?" Shen Qiuling followed Hua Peiyao's gaze, everyone was eating honestly, they just dared to glance occasionally, there was nothing worth noting.

"It's nothing." Hua Peiyao glanced at her one last time and continued to walk forward. Why did she always feel that there was a different gaze following her.

It was still early, Hua Peiyao said goodbye to Shen Qiuling, called her driver and told him not to pick her up today, and then walked slowly on the way home.

When she was in school before, she could still be willful and learn what she liked, but the price was to obey her father's arrangement in the future.

Starting tomorrow, she will start a new life, so there should be fewer carefree days.

Back home, Aunt Zhu took her bag away, thanked her, sat on the sofa and rubbed her overused head these days, wondering if it was time to relax.

Father Hua Jianyong walked down the stairs with a newspaper. Seeing his tired daughter, he couldn't help but feel distressed. He secretly planned to let her not rush into the company and take a few days off first.

"Dad." Seeing her father, Hua Peiyao yelled first, and Hua Jianyong nodded in response, "How was the exam? Are you tired?"

"It's okay, just take a break." She has been a good girl since she was a child, and never exposed her weakness to her parents, especially her father.

Knowing Hua Peiyao's thoughts, Hua Jianyong didn't say anything, and peeled an apple for her.Looking at the apple that was peeled so quickly that only the core was left, Hua Peiyao couldn't laugh or cry, "Dad, I'll do this kind of thing in the future."
