Chapter 62 Three Gifts
Lu Yao's phone was buzzing with calls.
Not just reporters, but also his teachers and classmates.
Just after the reporter from the Magic City Education Network confirmed the evening interview time again, he just hung up the phone when another call came in.
It belongs to Teacher Li.
Then there is Liu Bin.
Then came the reporters.
Then came Zhang Ju.
Next came Wei Qianqian.
And then there are reporters...
From two blocks away from my home, I am now standing in front of my unit.
More than half an hour has passed, and it's almost 5 o'clock.
But he didn't have time to go upstairs yet.
The calls came one after another.
However, what he was more puzzled about was why his family hadn't called him yet?
Finally, after hanging up the congratulatory call again, he chose to go upstairs directly. As a result, as soon as I opened the door, I saw my mother sitting on the sofa, holding up the phone and saying:
"Thank you, Director Qian. Thank you, Director Qian. Yaoyao, his performance this time was really good..."
Director Qian?
That Director Qian of the DMV?
Lu Yao was a little puzzled.
Then I heard the sound of Lu Yuanshan from the master bedroom:
"Aunt, it's not that I won't go back. Yaoyao is still working part-time during the summer vacation..."
"..."
Lu Yao was speechless when he was hugged by his mother who was holding a phone.
This time there is no crossbar, but the strength is not bad at all.
He had the intention of strangling his son to death.
At this time, Lu Yao's phone rang again.
It's a landline number.
Seeing this, Lu Yao patted his mother, signaled her to let go of him, and walked out of the house.
Coming to the corridor, closing the door, he answered the phone:
"Hello, how are you?"
"Is it classmate Lu Yao?"
"Well, yes, who are you?"
"Hello, classmate Lu Yao, this is the XH District Municipal Committee. My surname is Wang."
"Huh?"
Lu Yao was stunned and quickly responded:
"Hmm, hello, Teacher Wang."
This title is just right for his current status as a student.
"Well, congratulations to you, Lu Yao, for achieving such a good result in the college entrance examination. On behalf of the Municipal Party Committee, I congratulate you."
"Thank you, thank you Teacher Wang."
"Classmate Lu Yao, are you free tomorrow morning? We, together with Wenhui Po, would like to do an exclusive interview with you."
"...Yes."
Although he has made appointments with several reporters tomorrow morning, Lu Yao can clearly tell which is more important.
He quickly agreed.
"Haha, okay. In addition, if you have any questions about your major, a teacher from Fuhua University will come over tomorrow to explain to you the situation of each major and university."
"..."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
The first reaction was Wang Tianshu...
My heart says this person...
But he did not refuse and responded:
"Okay, Teacher Wang, what time is it in the morning?"
"Around 9:30, is your home address the same as the college entrance examination information registration address?"
"Yes, the same."
"Okay, classmate Lu Yao, shall we meet tomorrow morning?"
"Okay, no problem. Thank you, Teacher Wang..."
"Haha, you don't have to be so polite, classmate Lu Yao, congratulations on bringing glory to our magical city and achieving such good results..."
After exchanging pleasantries, the phone was hung up.
And just as he hung up the phone, another call came in...
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
I regretted why I had to fill in my phone number in the college entrance examination information.
……
"Well, what about the study plan... Actually, I mainly focus on 100% concentration in class. Because the 45 minutes of the teacher's lecture are more important to me than the 100 minutes of studying in private. And my class teacher, Teacher Li Linjiang, is a Nanyang model He is a very good math teacher in the middle school. His lectures are humorous. As long as you follow his ideas, all problems will be solved instantly..."
Home.
Lu Yao was sitting in his hut, holding up the phone and answering the questions on the phone with a look of despair.
This is a phone interview.
There was no way, there were too many people calling him to make an appointment.
This one needs to be interviewed, that needs to be interviewed... too much time was squeezed in, so he simply moved out of the phone number in the XH area and told the reporters that he would accept their offline interview tomorrow and might not have time for an interview.
As a result, the reporters who had to change the time could only ask in this way, and at the same time they also asked Lu Yao for a bunch of photos of his life.
Lu Yao also found a photo of him in his school uniform, looking a little "dumb" from his photo album, and asked his mother to scan it into an electronic version and send it to all reporters who asked for the photo.
That photo was taken when he was a freshman in high school. It was the only photo that had the gate of the "Nanyang Model High School" in it.
Just stay a little bit, but this one is the best.
"Yes... I think the 45 minutes the teacher spends in class is the golden time. It is the basis of all study plans..."
"In the future... I am interested in the field of electronic engineering. I may apply for a related major in the college entrance examination, but I still need to discuss with my family about which school to go to."
"Well, yes..."
Question after question, phone call after phone call.
When Lu Yao hung up the seventh reporter's call and walked out of the room with a dry mouth, he was greeted by the shining eyes of his parents and sister.
The Lao Lu family is still immersed in the 720 points in which their son defeated all the heroes and the heroes of the world lowered their eyebrows.
For a moment, the family looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
It's just that everyone is wearing "good clothes."
Even Lu Qing put on light makeup.
Because soon there will be two teams of reporters who have been agreed in the morning to interview.
"Son... a reporter will interview us later, what should I say?"
Ms. Chen asked nervously.
Lu Yao, who was already numb to the phone interview, shook his head:
"Just say something nice, thank you for the school's training, the magic city's training, etc."
"Uh...Okay."
Ms. Chen nodded subconsciously, and then took the initiative to reach out.
Lu Yao saw this and held his mother's hand.
There are no other words.
Ms. Chen held her son's hand hard, and countless words at this moment were transformed into this strength.
As for Lu Yuanshan... the way to express his father's love is to get up:
"I'm going to smoke a cigarette."
"Go out and smoke. The reporter will come later. Don't let people smell the smell of cigarette smoke in our house."
"Well, okay."
He patted his son on the shoulder and walked out of the house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he heard footsteps coming from outside.
Lu Yuanshan instinctively glanced down the stairs, and then pointed at the house like a thief, his eyes widening.
It's like a warning.
Ms. Chen reacted quickly and lowered her voice:
"Hurry, hurry, are the reporters here to interview..."
"..."
Lu Yao was speechless for a while.
Why is it like being a thief?
But as the footsteps approached, a female voice came from the door: Hello, is this classmate Lu Yao's home?
And Lu Yuanshan’s response.
The interview has begun.
……
In fact, this interview was quite simple. A lighting engineer turned on a fill light in the small living room at home, and then the photographer started recording.
The female reporter then held up the microphone and started a half-hosting, half-interview process.
And the questions... are actually the same as those interviewed over the phone.
As for Lu Yao, his answers were fluent.
From study plans, to family situations, to some so-called "experiences", the answers are all appropriate.
With a very humble attitude, I thanked my alma mater and teachers for their training, and what little tips I have about learning...
For example, go to bed early and get up early, and concentrate in class.
He didn't know whether these would be useful to other students.
But that was all he could say.
Otherwise, what can you say?
I like to light a cigarette first when I study?
Then put another two taels of wine on the table?
That's not realistic.
And the Lao Lu family are not the kind of people who are particularly flamboyant.
To put it bluntly, his home was just like thousands of ordinary people, without any special shining points.
At least that's how it seems to outsiders.
The entire interview seemed to Lu Yao to be a very regular process.
As the number one winner on this year's gold list, he gave his own learning opinions, and his parents gave the standard answer for a sensible child: "He is self-taught and has great self-awareness. We rarely worry about him." By the way, Lu Qing would like to share some words that I tutored her when she was a child...
It's over.
The time has come to around 8 o'clock.
After bidding farewell to the first wave of reporters, at almost 9 o'clock, the second wave of reporters arrived.
There was no break at all.
The same words, almost the same questions, were asked by the family again.
The only difference is that Ms. Chen and Lu Yuanshan look much more natural when facing the camera.
By the time the second wave of reporters finished their interviews, it was already 10 o'clock.
It's time to rest.
Lu Yao was indeed tired today.
To put it into perspective, he just drove the car for three to four hundred kilometers. But... talking too much is very tiring.
Originally, Lu Yuanshan and Ms. Chen wanted to talk to their son about reporting to school.
But seeing him yawning repeatedly, he simply stopped talking.
sleep.
Lu Yao took a shower first. When he came out, he found that his mother had laid out the bedding for him.
He lay down directly on the bed, picked up his phone and took a look.
I haven't even had time to read the forty or fifty text messages on my phone since I only answered the phone at night.
After looking at them one by one, he discovered that Xu Ruochu sent him a message at around 7 o'clock:
"Congratulations to the top scorer in the national college entrance examination."
He quickly replied:
"Thank you Mr. Xu."
"Ding." Xu Ruochu replied instantly:
"Are you done?"
"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. I took several interviews today, and two more interview teams came to my house in the evening, so I saw your text message."
"It's okay, are you tired?"
"It's okay."
"Go to bed early. Good night."
"Good night. Mr. Xu, please go to bed early."
Xu Ruochu didn't reply, and he read all the text messages one by one. After replying, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He couldn't even control whether there would be any more messages from these people in the future. As soon as he closed his eyes, his consciousness went dark. .
……
That night, he slept soundly.
Really, as soon as you close your eyes and open them, the sky will light up.
Overnight, there were still a lot of text messages on his phone.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
They were all sent back to him after he replied last night.
He rarely stayed in bed.
Bored.
But it didn't last long.
Mom and dad came back with a bag full of fragrant fried fish.
I went out to buy this for him early in the morning.
"Quick, get up, wash your face and brush your teeth. Someone will come to interview you soon."
Lu Yao suddenly remembered this.
Nod:
"Okay."
After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he had breakfast. After he helped his mother clear the dining table, it was past 9 o'clock.
The family sat neatly on the sofa again.
"Mom, we can't stay like this this summer, right?"
Lu Qing complained speechlessly.
Just as Ms. Chen was about to say something, the phone rang.
"DMV."
After she said something, she answered the phone:
"Hey, Director Qian..."
At first, after hearing the call from the DMV, the family didn't think much about it.
But immediately I heard Ms. Chen’s surprised voice:
"Huh?"
Only then did Lu Yao pay attention.
Then I heard my mother thanking me on the phone.
After hanging up the phone, she said with some surprise:
"The institute rewarded Yaoyao with twenty thousand yuan!"
Twenty thousand yuan, not much.
But it put a glow on her face.
Clearly delighted.
At this time, there were bursts of footsteps at the door.
Lu Yuanshan got up instinctively, walked to the door, and opened it.
People from XH area are here.
But this time many people came.
There are eleven people in total.
After entering the house with Lu Yuanshan's reception, the space in Lao Lu's house suddenly seemed cramped.
Lao Lu quickly got the stool.
"Hello, classmate Lu Yao. I am Wang Chuan from the Propaganda Department of XH District..."
"Hello, Teacher Wang."
He stretched out his hand, and Lu Yao took it with both hands, bowing politely to say hello.
Wang Chuan is a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance, but he smiles quite kindly. After shaking hands with Lu Yao, he shook hands with other people in the Lao Lu family, and then introduced:
"Here, let me introduce to you. This is Director Zheng Jianmin of the Admissions Office of Fuhua University."
"This is our reporter team from Wen Wei Po..."
"This is Ms. Zhou Xiaoqi from the Commercial Department of Hon Hai Real Estate."
He introduced everyone in order from high to low.
Obviously, Zheng Jianmin has the highest status.
But while Lu Yao was saying hello, he looked towards Zhou Xiaoqi.
Some doubts.
Hon Hai Real Estate?
He couldn't help but think of the office building he went to with Xu Ruochu.
The person who handed him his business card, the company on the business card was "Hon Hai Real Estate".
Do these two companies have the same name?
But he didn't think much about it, because Lu Yuanshan had already allocated stools for the whole family to allow these leaders to sit down.
And photography officially started.
But Lu Yao discovered something.
That is...Zhou Xiaoqi is not in the camera. A well-dressed woman in her 40s is sitting at the dining table. She seems to have no intention of participating in the promotion.
Lu Yao became even more confused.
In fact, when Wang Chuan first introduced her, he thought that Ms. Zhou was here to "sponsor" her.
Among the rewards for top scorers in college entrance examinations over the years, it is not uncommon for some local companies to sponsor scholarships. After all, being the top scorer in the college entrance examination is a source of popularity and a natural advertisement. Spending a little money can really get things done, and it can also play a positive publicity role for the company.
But... you have to be on camera.
My old sister.
Would your company be happy if you didn’t appear on camera?
But at this time, the interview had already begun, and it was difficult for him to ask questions.
I can only face the cameras and reporters and continue to answer the almost "same" questions.
learning methods.
Learning experience.
Promote your alma mater and be grateful to your teachers...
In fact, he also sincerely promotes his alma mater.
Whether reborn or not, his knowledge is imparted by schools and teachers. But the problem is... after telling the truth a thousand times, it becomes plain white water.
There can be no more waves in my heart.
The interview process of Wenhuipao is actually very long.
After Lu Yao finished interviewing, Lu Yuanshan and Ms. Chen also interviewed. For example, do you have any parenting experience?
Wen Wei Po is a well-established evening newspaper in the magical city. Lu Yuanshan and Ms. Chen cannot say that they have been "free-range". I can only rack my brains to praise my son's self-consciousness in learning, and at the same time say some words such as ensuring adequate nutrition and trying not to put pressure on my son.
Good for you, good for me, good for everyone.
As for Lu Qing...
Well, a little transparent one.
Let's rely on looks to be a mascot.
The interview actually went very quickly, in less than an hour, and all the questions that needed to be asked were finished.
Next, the highlight comes.
Wang Chuan took a large roll handed by his assistant, unfolded it in front of Lao Lu's family, and said with a smile:
"Student Lu Yao, congratulations on getting the top score in the country. On behalf of the Shanghai Municipal Committee, I will award you with a scholarship of 300,000 yuan!"
The roll unfolded into the shape of a large check.
Above is a 3 and 5 zeros.
Three hundred thousand!
"Quack, quack, quack, quack..."
Everyone, including reporters, applauded.
But my parents were half a beat too slow to react.
They didn't realize what was happening until everyone clapped, first following along.
Then a look of joy appeared on his face.
"Thank you, leader, thank you, leader!"
Because he knew in advance that the city would reward him with at least 200,000 yuan, the money was not beyond his expectations.
Even if it's one hundred thousand more.
Of course he was happy, but because he was mentally prepared, he was not blind at the moment.
Holding this big sign with Wang Chuan, Lu Yao showed a happy smile when facing the camera.
In his mind, the first part of the interview should be over.
But the reality is somewhat unexpected.
After taking pictures for the camera, Wang Chuan shook hands with the whole family again. When he finally reached Lu Yao, he held Lu Yao's hand and said:
"Okay, classmate Lu Yao, I hope you will continue to work hard in your future studies, make great achievements, and give back to the society."
"Thank you, leader, I will definitely study hard!"
"Well. That's the end of today's interview. This report will be published in Wenhui Po the day after tomorrow at the latest. You can take a look at it then. We'll say goodbye."
"...?"
Lu Yao was a little confused.
it's over?
He subconsciously looked at Zhou Xiaoqi and Zheng Jianmin.
But... no one said anything.
Wang Chuan just directed the reporter team to pack their things and walked out of the house.
The whole family can send you off.
But Lu Yao discovered that Zhou Xiaoqi and Zheng Jianmin had not left.
After watching the reporter team leave, many people were missing from the house.
At this time, Zhou Xiaoqi, who had been watching all the way, took the initiative and said:
"Student Lu Yao, please allow me to take some time before Teacher Zheng introduces your major to you."
"Uh...please speak."
After Lu Yao finished speaking, he heard Zhou Xiaoqi say:
“On behalf of Hon Hai Real Estate, I would like to congratulate you, Lu Yao, for achieving such good results, and I have prepared three congratulatory gifts for Lu Yao. The first one is a scholarship of one million yuan. ”
She didn't pause at all, and suddenly dropped a king bomb in her opening hand.
"...?"
The people of Lao Lu's family were confused.
How much... how much?
In the midst of this huge shock that had just arisen, Zhou Xiaoqi continued:
"The second gift is a 133-square-meter house in Hon Hai Shengshi Garden." (Note 1)
"...???"
"Huh?"
Lu Qing subconsciously exclaimed.
Then he quickly covered his mouth.
What! ?
"And the third portion..."
Zhou Xiaoqi suddenly glanced at Lu Yuanshan and said:
"We learned from Nanyang Model High School that your father, Lu Yao, is a long-distance truck driver. If Mr. Lu is willing, he can work for our company as a driver, with a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan."
< br>
"...!!!"
"????"
"Huh????"
Lu Qing once again failed to control his mouth amid the confused expressions of Lu Yuanshan and Ms. Chen.
But Lu Yao suddenly showed a look of astonishment.
Um?
(Note 1: The housing reward for the top scorer in the college entrance examination is not fictitious, but the location is not in Shanghai.)
