It was a good thing that I can get others' salary in vain. I agreed without thinking too much at that time.
"As long as I can help."
Spencer Shang said to me straight to the point, "I have a distant relative who didn't pay much attention to study in college. But now he has no job and doesn't have a good education."
Spencer Shang paused for a while and then pointed at me, "unlike you, you are willing to do hard work like this. Of course, I didn't mean anything else by saying that. Anyway, Work is no respecter of persons. "
I shook my head to show that I didn't mind, but I didn't completely agree with what Spencer Shang said. Because in the eyes of most people, work is not equal.
"In order to alleviate this, her family members signed up an open university. Although student graduated from the open universities was not as good as that of the full-time students graduated from the standard university, it was still at least a diploma. She was able to sustain herself in a small company which didn't have so strict requirements on education."
I listened carefully to Spencer Shang's words and couldn't help thinking of myself.
"But this girl just not willing to do so. We has already registered her name and paid the money. She wouldn't go there no matter what."
I listened to Spencer Shang carefully, but I didn't understand why he asked me to help him.
"Mr. Spencer, what can I do for you?"
Touching his nose with his index finger, Spencer Shang said, "well, here's the thing. If she can get the graduate certificate smoothly, apart from the achievements in her exams, the attendance is also part of it. So I hope you can substitute her name before she changes her mind, and make sure that she will be fully on duty."
I asked with doubts, "will they recognize that I am not her?"
"I don't think so. She hasn't been to university for once. No one knows her. So you're not supposed to let anyone know about it."
I nodded a little calmly, "when will the class start?"
"It's Monday to Friday. From seven o'clock to nine o'clock every evening, and Sunday is a whole day. Any problem?"
I replied to Spencer Shang, "I think it's no problem."
Spencer Shang nodded and said, "that's good. But you can't go there in vain. You should take notes carefully, okay? I will let her learn your notes later. "
"Okay, I know."
Spencer Shang nodded with satisfaction. "Well, that's all I asked you to do. Is there any other problem? If not, I'll hang up. "
"Mr. Spencer, when will my class begin? Which school should I go? By the way, what's your relative's major? Wait a moment, I am going to find a pencil to take a note. "
"Ah, you don't need to do so."
Spencer Shang patted his head and said, "I forgot to ask about that. I'll tell you after I confirm it."
"What's the name of your distant relative? Anyway, I have to know who I will replace. "
Spencer Shang covered his eyes with one hand and the other hand was extended to the tablet, hurriedly replied to me "I'll tell you next time."
I was about to say goodbye to Spencer Shang, but the other side of the video stopped.
I sat on the chair in the study and watched the screen turning dark. I was kind of distracted.
"Open university, self-study examination. Can I start over again?"
However, none of them could avoid the most realistic question, "money."
Then I got a message from Rosie.
"Jasmine, do you want to talk to my brother?"
It has been a long time since I saw Rogelio only through the video that Rosie sent me.
