15: It's impossible to repeat a grade.
Because phone calls are too expensive, Hanwen has started writing letters to his mother to let her know he's safe since he last called her.
He wrote back home about once a week, mainly fabricating false information to reassure his mother.
He's been so busy making money lately that he completely forgot to write to his mother to let her know he was safe. Now that she's suddenly written back, he wonders what could have happened.
Soon, Han Wen ran upstairs in his underwear and slippers. Seeing the letter beside Zhou Ning, he grabbed it and tore it open.
Han Wen pulled out the letter inside, glanced at it briefly, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.
Then, without saying a word, he took the letter, turned around, and walked downstairs.
Time flies! Before we knew it, several dozen days had passed.
Han Wen was busy with work and making money, and he really forgot to write to his mother and forgot many other things.
However, it's a bit outrageous that he could forget to care about his college entrance exam results.
When he opened the envelope and saw the college entrance examination results slip out, he was both amused and exasperated, utterly helpless.
Han Wen's college entrance examination results were not ideal. On the paper with a total score of 700, he, a liberal arts student, only got half the score.
This score is far below the standard of over 400 for a typical undergraduate degree, so Korean is completely out of the question for undergraduate studies.
Of course, if he wants, attending a vocational college is still no problem.
The problem is, Hanwen isn't even interested in going to university, so how could he possibly go to a vocational college?
However, his mother, Han Qingyan, clearly didn't think so. In fact, she had already made arrangements for him.
In the letter, she gave Hanwen two choices: repeat high school and take the college entrance exam again, or attend a training course and apply to an art college.
Repeating a grade is impossible. I've been reborn, and in this life, I will absolutely never repeat a grade in Korean.
As for attending training classes and taking entrance exams for arts schools, I don't actually have much interest in Korean.
His interest in the entertainment industry doesn't mean he necessarily wants to act. His interest in beautiful female celebrities doesn't mean he wants to become a star himself.
Of course, being a director, producer, executive producer, screenwriter, cinematographer, editor, etc., are all related to the arts and are inextricably linked to the entertainment industry.
However, Han Wen scoffed at and disdained all such backbreaking work. If he could, he would only choose to become a capitalist.
His hobbies couldn't stop him from making money, nor could they change his determination to become a capitalist.
"Mom, you've given me a real problem." Han Wen put the letter aside and sighed inwardly, "If I had known, I wouldn't have written to let you know I was safe, and I definitely shouldn't have given you this address."
Han Wen knows his mother's personality best; if this matter isn't handled properly, he won't have peace of mind.
She'll probably take leave immediately, abandon her work, and rush to Jinghua City. This is not what Han Wen wants to see; it's absolutely unacceptable.
Just as Han Wen was frowning, sighing, and trying to come up with a solution, Zhou Ning came downstairs with his hands waving and a worried expression.
She had sensed that Han Wen's behavior was a bit strange, and now, seeing his worried and somewhat desperate expression, she became even more nervous.
"Hanwen, what's wrong? Did something happen at home?" She walked over to Hanwen and asked with concern.
"Something terrible has happened, a really big deal." Han Wen nodded and handed the letter beside him to Zhou Ning: "Sister Ning, take a look. You can laugh at me, but you can only laugh once."
He felt ashamed of himself for being such a poor student, and to avoid being ridiculed by Zhou Ning, a top student, he emphasized this first.
Zhou Ning was surprised. She picked up the letter Han Wen handed her, and after reading its contents, she burst into laughter, unable to catch her breath.
She covered her lower abdomen with her hand, bent over, and squatted down.
Han Wen knew this would be the result, so he turned his head away, too lazy to pay attention to her.
So what if my grades are bad? I'm not really stupid. I just haven't been focusing my attention and energy on studying.
His hobby is writing books, and now all four of his short stories have passed the magazine's review and will be published soon.
As for his three novels, they will soon be printed and published by a publisher.
Soon, he will become a real writer. Even without doing business or investing in stocks, he can support himself solely through his writing income.
"Sister Ning, that's enough. I just don't know how to study, why are you making such a big deal out of it?" Han Wen was speechless at Zhou Ning's exaggerated reaction: "Stop it now, or I'll quit my job and go back to my hometown. I'll never come back, and I'll never talk to you again."
"I want to stop, but I can't," Zhou Ning replied with a laugh, her stomach churning. "Han Wen, you're amazing. How did you manage to get such a low score on such a high total test?"
"How did you manage to have such a great shop in such a good location and not have a single customer?" Han Wen asked rhetorically.
"Likewise, likewise. Okay, never mind, I won't make fun of you anymore."
"I'm not qualified." After realizing this, Zhou Ning finally stopped laughing.
She sat down next to Han Wen and turned to look at him. After a long silence, she asked, "Han Wen, I feel that your aunt has arranged your future quite well."
So, what are your true thoughts and decisions?
"I already told you what I thought and what I decided when we first met, and now you've seen it too." Hanwen replied, "My mother is my mother, and I am me."
Her thoughts are none of my business, and my thoughts do not require her permission.
The problem is, if I actually do that, she will definitely be disappointed and angry.
I only have one mother, and I dare not upset her to the point of harm.
But I can't go back either.
If I go back, she'll probably grab me tightly, pin me to the ground, and clip my wings that long to fly.
So, going back is out of the question, and going back to repeat a year is even less likely. As for going to an arts school, I have no interest in that either.
Now, the problem is how to get my mother to agree to let me stay in Jinghua City, and how to persuade her not to come after me.
"Your aunt only has one son, how could she easily abandon you and neglect you?" Zhou Ning felt a bit troubled: "I feel this problem is difficult to solve, and if it's not handled properly, something bad might happen."
"Never mind, let's take it one step at a time and prolong it as long as we can." Han Wen said helplessly, "If my mother really doesn't want to give up and really wants to come to Jinghua City to take me back, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to run away."
Coincidentally, I wanted to take some time to check out the stock market situation in Shanghai and Shenzhen.
"At worst, I'll go to Shanghai for a while. I'll come back after she goes back."
"If your aunt knew you did this, she'd probably go crazy," Zhou Ning worried.
"I was forced into this situation. She'll understand my choice later," Han Wen said indifferently.
Since Han Wen had already made up his mind, Zhou Ning couldn't offer any further advice. Besides, this matter was indeed difficult to resolve.
