I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1121: Reward

In June 2014, the Huang family office was officially established in Hong Kong. However, the ceremony was low-key and no announcement was made. It was established quietly.

Huang Xiaochuan then returned to Shanghai because his two children were taking the college entrance examination the next day.

Huang Xiaochuan believes in the usefulness of education and strongly dislikes those who advocate the uselessness of education. Moreover, most of those who advocate the uselessness of education are highly educated and high-class people. In Huang Xiaochuan's view, these people are extremely malicious and try to deceive others in order to solidify their own class and interests.

But what's truly pathetic is that there are actually some people who agree with this viewpoint. It's unbelievable. In Huang Xiaochuan's opinion, this is a classic case of being sold out and still counting the money for the seller.

Huang Xiaochuan wasn't actually that worried about his two children.

His son, Huang Zeji, had never caused him any worry about his studies since childhood. He had even won national awards in computer competitions several times, which earned him the qualification to be admitted to a top university without taking the entrance exam. However, he voluntarily gave up this qualification that other families dream of and insisted on taking the college entrance exam, just so he wouldn't miss this important process in his life.

Huang Xiaochuan and his wife Yu Xiang both expressed their support for this. In their view, their son was already very outstanding, and with parents like them to support him, they were willing to let him give up his guaranteed admission.

Although Huang Ruiying's academic performance is not as good as her brother's, based on the results of the mock exams, she is still confident that she can get into a top-tier university. Moreover, the Huang family has many options; the key lies in Huang Ruiying's own thoughts.

Like other parents, Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang also went to send their children to the exam. However, each of them was responsible for one child: Huang Xiaochuan was responsible for picking up and dropping off their son, Huang Zeji, while Yu Xiang was responsible for picking up and dropping off their daughter, Huang Ruiying.

Interestingly, the roads around Huang Zeji's exam site were narrow, making it impossible to pick him up by car. So Huang Xiaochuan asked Gao Song to buy him an electric bicycle, and he picked up Huang Zeji on the electric bicycle, just like other parents, except that he was accompanied by bodyguards on electric bicycles on all sides.

However, no one recognized him, and no one expected that Huang Xiaochuan, Asia's richest man, would be riding an electric bicycle to take his son to the college entrance examination, just like them.

Huang Ruiying's examination venue was in the suburbs, with wide roads and two large parking lots nearby, so she was provided with transportation.

The day after the college entrance examination ended, Huang Zeji and Huang Ruiying, siblings, officially began their summer vacation before starting university.

Huang Zeji is still busy with an algorithm he has been working on for a long time. He wants to use the algorithm he is writing to seamlessly stitch together images captured by multiple cameras into a 360° panoramic image.

He was very invested in this project, so he spent most of his summer vacation working on it.

In contrast, Huang Ruiying's life is much richer.

She enrolled in a driving school and practiced driving every morning at nine o'clock. In the afternoon, she would either go out with her classmates or stay at home watching dramas and playing games. She lived a very carefree life.

Seeing her daughter like this, Yu Xiang couldn't help but nag, "Look at your brother, and then look at yourself. How can you be so carefree?"

While eating fruit, Huang Ruiying said, "Who is my brother? How could a normal person be like him? Besides, I finally finished my exams, can't I relax a bit?"

Yu Xiang was furious! But she couldn't say anything more, so she could only glare at her daughter fiercely.

But Huang Xiaochuan was unlucky; Yu Xiang vented all her anger on him.

"Can't you control your daughter? I say one thing and she replies with ten. It's the father's fault for not raising her properly. You spoil her too much and have made her unruly."

What else could Huang Xiaochuan do? He couldn't get rid of the blame either! So he could only patiently try to appease both sides.

That day, after Huang Ruiying finished her driving practice and was about to go home, she ran into an acquaintance at the entrance of the driving school.

"Ding Xiaojia?"

Since graduating from junior high school, Huang Ruiying and Ding Xiaojia went to different high schools. There was nothing they could do about it; Huang Ruiying wasn't a top student, and her father didn't want to force her to grow too fast, saying that even if she went to the best high school in Shanghai, it would only add to her burden and wouldn't do her any good.

Huang Ruiying agreed with this point. She knew what the students in those high schools were like. They were all the same type of people as her brother, people she could only admire, but not suitable to study with.

"Xiao Duo!" Ding greeted Huang Ruiying with a smile.

Huang Ruiying roughly guessed why Ding Xiaojia was there: "Are you here to learn to drive too?"

"Yes, I just registered and am waiting here for the driving school to arrange an instructor." Ding Xiaojia nodded.

After confirming that Ding Xiaojia was there to learn to drive, Huang Ruiying was very enthusiastic. In addition, since the two were childhood friends, she helped Ding Xiaojia get assigned to the same instructor group as her.

June 22nd is the day the college entrance examination results are released.

Huang Ruiying didn't go to the driving school that day. Instead, she sat in front of the computer and logged into the score checking website. However, due to the large number of candidates checking their scores, the website lagged and the scores didn't appear for a long time.

"This lousy website, can't they just spend some money to upgrade it!" Huang Ruiying complained angrily.

Huang Xiaochuan remained calm: "What's the rush? Just give me whatever score I'm entitled to."

"Dad, can you please shut up?" Huang Ruiying glared at her father with dissatisfaction.

In contrast, Huang Zeji was quite calm. He sat on a chair to the side and checked his score on his phone. He found his score very easily.

"Dad, the scores are out."

Huang Xiaochuan immediately put down his teacup: "How much?"

"Six hundred and ninety-seven." Huang Zeji's tone was very calm. That's only because he's calm. If it were anyone else, the ceiling would probably have been blown off by now.

Huang Xiaochuan was naturally delighted to hear the score, but he still took the phone from his son to double-check. It was indeed 697. Now he was all set; he could apply to any university in China without hesitation. Moreover, Huang Xiaochuan believed that it wouldn't be long before the admissions offices of some universities would be calling.

When Huang Ruiying learned that her brother's results were out, she became even more anxious, constantly refreshing the webpage. Finally, her efforts paid off, and the webpage loaded.

Huang Ruiying stared at the LCD screen for several seconds, then suddenly screamed, "Ah... 592! I got 592 points!"

Huang Xiaochuan glanced at the screen and saw that the total score was 592, which was more than 30 points above the first-tier university admission line.

He patted his daughter's head and praised her, "Not bad, not bad, you've exceeded your usual standard."

Indeed, Huang Ruiying's college entrance examination score was a few points higher than in the mock exam.

"You did well on the test. What kind of reward would you like?" Huang Xiaochuan planned to reward his son and daughter.
