Cheng Su prepared her ID card, household registration book, and the like, and went to Feng City High School to enroll. She officially embarked on the road of repeating a school year and brought back a bundle of textbooks for it. She also went to a bookstore in the city and bought some books that would be useful for her exams.
When she arrived back at the courtyard with a large bundle of books, everyone was quite surprised. Upon asking, they learned that Cheng Su actually wanted to retake the university entrance examination?
During that period, if a girl had finished junior high, and she was diligent, she could find a rather decent job as a factory worker.
Not to mention Cheng Su had even reached the first year of senior high, it was said that she now ran her own restaurant as the boss, and the business was booming. In terms of spending and affording things, she surely had no difficulties, yet she still wanted to take the university entrance examination again?
"One should keep learning as long as one lives. Anyway, I have plenty of time now, learning more knowledge is never a bad thing," Cheng Su responded to those curious people.
Her words made many feel ashamed, for they were neither as capable as Cheng Su in running a business, nor had they considered studying. Their days revolved solely around their husbands and children, and idle chatter with other women when they had free time.
Therefore, some people disapproved of Cheng Su, saying her ambitions were too great, her heart too wild.
But most people felt inferior, thinking that despite being a business owner and earning a fortune daily, she still thought about studying. From another perspective, this showed that Cheng Su had determination, was progressive, and worked hard.
There’s a saying that the people who are wealthier than you are also working harder than you, and it really hit home.
Hualing also heard about Cheng Su retaking the university entrance exam and was stunned for a while before she laughed, "If she gets into university, I’ll start calling her ’sister’!"
She didn’t believe Cheng Su was capable of it at all; it was merely putting on an act, just flaunting a few books to gild her own face.
