Mixed in 1980

Chapter 30: Coaxing Girlfriend to Go to College
Xu Jinqiu's worries are not without reason.

In the early 1980s, due to the revival of literature, writers had an extremely high social status.

The same goes for college students. Only a small number of people are admitted every year. They are regarded as the chosen ones and are assigned to cadres after graduation, with the best jobs and incomes.

Xu Jinqiu thought that she was just an ordinary girl, at most a pretty girl. Chen Fan was already a writer, and if he went to college, the gap between them would be too big.

"Wife, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing the worry in Xu Jinqiu's eyes, Chen Fan smiled and said, "I'm eighteen years old this year. I'll go to college for four years and graduate at the age of twenty-two. I can get the marriage certificate when I come out."

"Who wants to get a marriage certificate with you?" Xu Jinqiu blushed and looked a little embarrassed.

Just as the waiter started serving the food, Zeng Ali patted the back of her hand, telling her not to worry, and then asked Chen Fan, "What major are you going to study? Literature?"

"No, I plan to study business."

"Business? What are you thinking?" Zeng Ali was surprised. She didn't expect Chen Fan to choose this major. As a novelist, why would you study economics instead of literature?

Business is the Department of Economics.

In the past, those who studied this were all people who were targeted for transformation. However, after the reform and opening up, the organization advocated the development of the economy, and the economics department had a lot of room for development.

Chen Fan chose this major mainly because he wanted to improve himself.

In my previous life, I also ran a business and experienced ups and downs several times, earning over 100 million yuan, but this is the end of the business.

It is impossible to manage a large enterprise without a complete business philosophy and means of support.

The same is true for living your life over again.

Rebirth means knowing some opportunities in advance, nothing more. If you really think that you can become rich and powerful and reach the top of the world after rebirth, then you are crazy.

Not to mention how difficult it is to start a business, without sufficient ability, even if you put that person in the position of Huawei's president, he can still fall Huawei apart.

"The organization advocates vigorously developing the economy, so studying business is definitely the right thing to do."

Chen Fan did not explain too much, and did not mention a word about business.

Now when we talk about doing business, we mean being a self-employed person, which is a profession that cannot be put on the table. Saying these things will only make girls feel strange. Chen Fan will never do such a disgusting thing.

After chatting for a while and having a good meal and a few drinks, Zeng Ali took Zhao Yuanyuan back first. Before leaving, she winked at Chen Fan, indicating that he should coax Xu Jinqiu.

The little girl is feeling upset.

Chen Fan naturally saw through it, and held Xu Jinqiu's hand: "Wife, am I unhappy about my going to college?"

Xu Jinqiu turned her head to look at him, biting her lips lightly, with a layer of mist in her eyes.

Aggrieved.

Who can withstand this extreme feeling of brokenness?

That was on the street, otherwise Chen Fan would have kissed him long ago.

Even though Chen Fan had lived two lives and seen the entire entertainment industry, he had only seen this kind of broken feeling in Ye Quanzhen and Akina Nakamori.

But Xu Jinqiu's appearance is even more delicate than theirs.

"Chen Fan, why don't you wait until you go to college and find a college student to date? Why do you want to mess with an ordinary girl like me?"

Chen Fan stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of her nose, saying lovingly, "Comrade Xu Jinqiu, you may have some misunderstanding about the word 'ordinary'. My wife's face and figure are so pretty that there are only a few in the whole city. How can she be ordinary?"

"My wife has a good temper and positive values. You can't find her like her even with a lantern, okay?"

"Hate!"

Pushing Chen Fan's hand away, Xu Jinqiu shyly turned her head away: "But Chen Fan, I'm just a temporary worker, what will your family think?"

"Silly girl, my family is also a working class family, not a wealthy family. Ever since she found out about us, my mother has been looking forward to me taking you back home."

Chen Fan held his wife's hand and walked slowly forward: "Anyway, I have made up my mind. We will go to my house on Sunday and yours next week, and then we will get engaged first."

"Who wants to get engaged to you? The more you talk, the more ridiculous it becomes." Xu Jinqiu took a step forward proudly, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Then I don't care, Comrade Xu Jinqiu, you will never escape from my control in this life."

Chen Fan held her hand and exerted a little force: "Wife, have you ever thought about going to college with me? The registration for the college entrance examination has not yet ended."

Xu Jinqiu sighed and said depressedly, "I can't do it. I took the exam in 1977, 1978, and 1979, but I didn't pass." "How much did you score last year?"

"Twelve points away from crossing the line."

"What a coincidence. I also took the exam three times and failed. Last year I missed by eight points. Otherwise, you would say we are a perfect match. We have similar experiences."

Hearing this, Xu Jinqiu gave him a charming look.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Why don't we try again? I have mastered a new learning method. I will give you some tutoring. You will definitely pass the exam."

"Go ahead and brag." Xu Jinqiu laughed.

This guy is just like me, not a bad student, but not a top student either.

"Just give it a try. You won't lose anything. After you go to my house on the weekend, starting from next Monday, during your lunch break and after get off work, you can come to my house and I will tutor you."

Chen Fan is very confident about this.

Xu Jinqiu missed the score by twelve points in the last exam, which shows that her foundation is still good and she has a chance to reach the admission line if she works hard.

The key is that you have a cheat.

I took the exam in my previous life, and worked as a high school teacher for several years. For the purpose of teaching, I repeatedly studied the college entrance examination questions from previous years.

I can’t say I remember all of this year’s exam questions, but I remember quite a few.

With Xu Jinqiu's foundation and the questions she had memorized, I wouldn't dare say that she would get high scores and be admitted to a prestigious school, but she should have no problem crossing the admission line and being admitted to an ordinary university.

"Forget it. I can't pass the exam."

Xu Jinqiu shook her head. After last year's college entrance examination, she had given up and never read a book again. Now there was not much time left before the college entrance examination.

Chen Fan stopped and said seriously, "Wife, you don't like the work in the dance troupe, right? We are only eighteen years old now, we can still try again, what if we pass the exam?"

Xu Jinqiu was a little moved when he heard this. Who doesn’t have a dream of going to college?

Chen Fan added: "If you get into college, you can do what you like in the future. It's better than doing a job you don't like for the rest of your life, right? That's it!"

"Then give it a try?"

"I'll tutor you, steady."

"You can brag all you want. We are the same. We both failed the exam three times. It's hard to say who will give whom extra lessons."

"..."

Chen Fan was choked. This girl was really going to attack him.

"Let's go to the department store and buy you some summer clothes."

Xu Jinqiu walked towards the department store not far away. She had already decided before coming here to buy some clothes for Chen Fan, as he had been the only one spending money recently.

Wangfujing Department Store is currently the largest shopping mall in China.

Whether it is pots and pans, soy sauce, vinegar, oil, tea, or furniture and appliances, you can buy them all in the department store. It is the department store with the most complete product categories.

The employees inside often boast: We have products that are not available outside, and our products that are available outside are the best.

"Wife, let's go to another place. The department store is too expensive, and the most important thing is that the service attitude is not good. Buying clothes here is a sheer waste of money."

Chen Fan didn't want Xu Jinqiu to spend money, as the girl only earned that little money a month.

But what he said was not nonsense.

The sales clerks in state-owned stores are arrogant, and the sales clerks in department stores are extremely arrogant.

The main reason is that the treatment is too good, which leads to the sales clerks here becoming arrogant and it is common to see conflicts between them and customers.

The last time Chen Fan came here to buy clothes, he saw the salesperson scolding a customer like a grandson. The customer was so angry that he wanted to fight him, but he didn't expect the salesperson to take out a broom first to fight back.

But the customers were very angry.

"Quanjude is more expensive, why don't you say it's a waste of money?" Xu Jinqiu rolled her eyes at him, but she also knew what this man was thinking.
