"We are all people racing against ourselves"
Introduction: A collection of youth inspirational stories based on the author's own growth experience. At the age of 18, he went to the United States to study alone and spent 18 months to be admitted to the 11th-ranked University of Washington from a community college, completing the transformation from a poor student to a top student, but this is just the beginning of the story. At the University of Washington, where elites gather, she tried her best, but she still felt confused; in the world of love, she was careful, but she still encountered the most painful heartache. In her junior year, she spent a year off, writing while traveling, and working while going to school. She traveled and traveled 14 cities, thinking about the future and love. She condensed all her experiences into novel stories and published them as "We are all racing against ourselves." In this book, her deepest understanding is that women's happiness and security do not necessarily come from the favor of the opposite sex. They can also come from what they want to learn, where they want to go, books they want to read, and pursue their dreams in the way they like and live seriously. The following is the chapter of "Famous Schools, White, and Beautiful" in the new book:
1.
We are at the Atlanta Airport.
I arrived first and flipped through her circle of friends. Today she has Celine's smiley face bag, Chanel fisherman's shoes, floating cloud sunglasses, and bob. Casual style.
She seems to have lost weight again. I don’t know if it’s P, but in my impression she has always been oval.
is called Li Massie by her ex-boyfriend because she is round and small like an ostrich egg. She wears a free school name shirt every day. She has a ponytail and is irritable, speaks quickly, and walks quickly. To do list I read it three hundred times a day, for fear that I would be fine if I accidentally had nothing to do and wasted a minute or two.
But this is three years ago. A girl in her early 20s can’t even recognize her mother when she changes.
I heard that she bought a BMW recently, and she is wearing a famous brand. She is a real white and rich beauty in Instagram, attracting 30,000 fans. At the beginning of the year, I expanded my position to Weibo, and I wrote a couple of articles with my experiences in two weeks. As soon as the photos were posted, netizens lined up to worship the goddess.
Hartsfield Jackson is the busiest airport in the world, with 8 terminals, direct flights to 45 countries and 243 destinations. There are all kinds of restaurants, spa shoes, smoking shops, briefcases and business wears, and business travelers are coming and going. I was observing them, and Li Messel came to WeChat.
"I'm late, and it's expected to land for three more hours. Don't waste your time. Go to Margaret Mitchell's former residence first, see you there."
Good boy, there is Wifi on the plane.
I replied, "You are first class."
"There is no choice, I have become a member of Delta Diamond and have been upgraded in various places."
It is said that I feel that everything others say is showing off because I am low in level. I immediately thought carefully that I would become a diamond member after working for a year. Wouldn’t I just make time difference every day except for traveling and hotels? Too pitiful.
I replied, "You are so hardworking. I'll go to the former residence first, you can take the opportunity to have a good rest."
After three years of not seeing her, her face evolved so much that I almost didn't recognize her. Her style was still the same: decisive, decisive, fearless, not afraid of the earth, but fear of wasting time.
2.
At that time, we studied in the community college together, Green River.
One day, when I came home from school, she rushed up towards me, very excited.
"Classmate, are you Chinese?"
"Yes, I am, classmate."
I have poor English, but I am more than enough to joke with her.
She asked me to borrow my phone and call my domestic boyfriend who had just finished his morning self-study. It was so urgent that I thought it was related to life.
"Suddenly no power like this, I don't contact him quickly, he will think I was hit by a car, shot, robbed, raped, and then anxious to death!"
She said while snatching my phone, and then um, um, ah, I love you too, and performed for a long time.
I asked her how old she was, 16.
High school students love, no wonder.
Community College is a kind of university without threshold in North America. It doesn’t matter if the grades are poor, you can go to the school by paying the tuition fee.
Every year, an incredible high school graduate comes here from all over the country. Those who have completed their freshman year and sophomore and second year have an associate degree and want an undergraduate diploma to apply for transfer. The results of transfers are uneven. People go to Ivy League every year, and more people go directly to the motherland.
Community College also accepts another type of person, high school students, if they are enough, they can complete high school and associate degree in two years and transfer to junior year. The previous picture community course is simple, but the later one thinks that high school teaching is too slow. There are two extremes, Li Me and I are one head-on.
The first time I met, how did I know so much?
I got the phone back and was about to turn on the chat mode, but she spoke first.
"I want to go to the library to study, are you going to work together?"
In my article called "Community College", I mentioned that I was a poor student and graduated from a top student, but I was both because I was holding the right thigh. That leg is Li Ostole, and God selflessly lends me a reward for my mobile phone.
Li Memoto took me to do my homework. She was in her second year of high school and I was in my freshman year. We studied the same mathematics. She explained while doing the questions. She was so excited that she couldn't stop her lectures and taught her tomorrow's new lessons.
After meeting Li Maule, I missed her all the time, wishing I could turn her into a figure and put it in my pocket and take it into the examination room.
So a few months later, Li Messel wanted to move, so I made a vacant room as soon as possible and invited me to the grand invitation.
Li Ostou dressed up in the room: A group photo with "Li Ran? Liang Mu" written on the desk, on the bed was a minion doll he gave, and a kissing pig was placed in the bookcase.
I accompanied her to post a photo wall: Liang Mu jumped long time at school sports meeting, Liang Mu smiled foolishly in the classroom, Liang Mu and her big head posted...
At nine o'clock in the evening, she couldn't wait to open the video, and the 16-year-old boy's "I'm so touched, my wife, I'm so happy to meet in only 101 days left" was reported. I got goosebumps and disappeared quickly.
Li Ostole said that Liang Mu is also a top student.
He is her only math class representative competitor, whoever wins the monthly exam will take office. Li Message doesn't understand a trigonometric function problem, so he will fight to the death and will not leave after school. One day, only she and Liang Mu were left in the classroom. When the boy passed by, he smashed her with a ball of paper. She smashed her back angrily. After he left, he couldn't help picking it up and spread it out. It was a problem-solving process, one method, two, and another heart that could be wiped away. Li Ostole touched it around, and his heartbeat frequency was abnormal, so he quickly "signs of heart attacks".
Later, she won Liang Mu as she wished, but she was inexplicably sad. After school, she sat in his seat, looking at his desk and drawer, and accidentally discovered that the second method of Yuekao's sword was a deviant. The teacher did not understand and deducted all 14 points. She grabbed the test paper and came to Liang Mu.
"The old class corrected a big question! You are the first in the class!"
Liang Mu was cleaning the cleaning area and quietly watched Li Simao turned into a crazy female soldier. He only cared about one question:
"How come you have my test paper?"
Li Simao only cared about pulling him to the office. He pulled her and pulled her, and the grade director appeared and ordered them to explain the relationship honestly.
Liang Mu said, "I stole Li Ran's weekly notebook and she discovered it. There was a scene you saw."
He actually took out Li Meme's weekly notebook from his sleeve and added sincerely, "She's handwriting looks good, I want to copy it. I originally planned to put it back before school, but I was wrong with the teacher."
They escaped.
Li Messel asked angrily why he stole Zhou's notebook, and he silently turned around and left.
Li Ostole came up with a letter from it, and the first sentence was, I like you.
She cried and shouted loudly, "You're back!"
The boy turned back and hugged her in his arms clumsyly.
In the spring of 2010, Chengdu No. 7 Middle School had eight Singapore students, with government scholarships, and 80% of the total expenses. Li Simusi failed the exam until the end. I heard from Beijing students about the American community college system, which has cheap tuition and scholarship opportunities. Apply immediately.
She took the exam from Mianyang to Chengdu and fell in love with the feeling of looking at the big world. However, her parents' salary and 200,000 yuan of decoration money were taken out, but there was not much.
She cheated her parents, 200,000 yuan plus scholarship is enough to finish college, and she made a proof of property, I-20, and then a visa.
During the summer vacation of the first year of high school, Liang Mu was waiting for her outside the embassy, worried that she had used up all her tuition and had no degree, and was desperate.
Li Ostole shook the green note of the visa passed and hung it around his neck, feeling happy.
"Young, I'm having a lot of trouble. At worst, I can go back to the seventh high school entrance examination and delay at most a year. I'll be a junior for you. I have such good grades and I will definitely earn back the money in the future."
He smiled, the tall man rubbed her fat head and said.
"You still make money with you?" Where do you want to put your husband? "
There is a countdown calendar on the table of Li Siouxun. 0 is the day when I returned to China to meet Liang Mu. After she finished her homework, she was rewarded to tear one of hers. Every time she tore, she danced excitedly.
I laughed at her. Why do I go abroad? I look forward to returning to China every day.
She said that he supports me to go abroad to see the world. I was encouraged by him when I took the TOEFL exam!
I just watched her love reality show and finished my freshman year.
At that time, I was a loyal believer of the Li family's love theory - the best love is to love each other while walking to the same place while turning each other into better people.
But she still cried, late at night with 21 days left before returning to China during the summer vacation.
She browsed on Weibo and saw a love word, @ Liang Mu, many people replied to her, two girls @ the same man, who is green?
She recognized It is the representative of English class.
Liang Mu explained that the girl @ others, remembered the online name wrong.
Li Siouxun's consciousness, Liang Mu cheated, the possibility of matching the formula is zero, and she firmly believed that her choices and judgments were correct. Weibo incident changed her "Love Book" teaching material:
Don't be blinded partially. Listen to his other half of the story, you will find many grievances, misunderstandings and tragedies. All can be avoided before it happens.
Until the girl adds her WeChat and sends a screenshot of a blockbuster chat.
She sat in the room, with only QQ chat boxes on the screen.
The one who talks about Liang Mu, nicknamed her husband.
"You are so busy with homework and have to deal with life in a foreign country alone. I can't take care of you, it will only take up your time. I say useless words. I love you too much and I'm too tired. If I go to the United States in the future, will we start over again? "
She typing on the keyboard.
" Can we stick with it? Love is a coexistence of happiness, patience and pain. Don’t retreat when you encounter difficulties. I know that long-distance relationships are painful, let’s get through them together! "
She knocked faster and faster, and her voice was very terrifying late at night.
"Don't want me, please! "
" She sent it, and the system showed that they were not friends. The representative of
English class sent a WeChat message.
" Li Ran, let's talk. "
The small room was quiet and I didn't dare to speak.
Li Simu put down his phone and leaned his head on my shoulder, his eyes were very distracted.
"They discussed how to break up with me for a long time, but Liang Mu couldn't say it, so he asked her to say it. "
"...She said that when I decided to go abroad, I had given up on him, just to torture him to prove that I was charming, but in fact, I only had my own future in my mind. I am not such a person. I love him very much, right? "
" I'm willing to go back for him, I'll go back now! I won’t go to the fucking community college! ”
I said, “Go to bed quickly. "
She got up, kissed the pig, photo frame and minions all threw it into the box. I accompanied her downstairs, put the box into the garbage shed in the community, and stood for a long time.
I said, "Go to sleep quickly, I'm sleepy." "
The moonlight fell into her eyes and turned into tears.
She sniffed, "I haven't finished my homework yet. "
has too much homework. She never cried. She still wrote and let the water droplets "click" on the draft paper. Her bangs hung on the paper, biting her lip, not talking, and kept writing. The picture of
was a powerful heart-strengthening needle for me to prepare for the CPA exam later.
Two days later, I saw a box placed in the garbage shed under her bed.
In June 2011, because I was worried about Li Massil, I did a very poor final exam.
She had a total subject of 4.0, and I was still worried that she would assassinate Liang Mu, fight against the English class representative, and almost changed the sign-up Air tickets and support to Chengdu, and take a look at her Loser mode. Who told her to look like I am correct and strong all year round? The sky collapsed. Yemen Gate A.
It’s a pity that I participated in the “Berry” writing meeting and I was so happy that I forgot.
She came back again, cut her hair, put on makeup, put on new clothes, and added a Tiffany key to her neck, and was full of spring breeze.
As soon as she opened the door, there was a small yellow balloon floating on the ceiling, 99 red roses on the desk, and a big gift box beside the bed, which read, "Welcome to the ostrum home, it may be your boyfriend's Leo in the future."
She stayed in Chengdu for a week and went to Guangzhou to get back to the visa. When the senior asked to go to the lineup, the two of them became happier and happier, and they played from Guangzhou to Southeast Asia.
The senior asked his friends to sneak into Li's apartment, secretly preparing for surprises, while escorting the escort back to school from Mianyang to Seattle.
Li Ostole covered his mouth and cried.
Senior senior pulled her closer to our applause, kissed her hair, and was careful.
That day, I helped Li Memoto get my luggage, and I would never hit the car even if I hit it.
Li Ostoma said, "As for it, it's just a public?"
I replied excitedly, "This is Huiteng! You caught the rich second generation of ostoma!"
2.
1 In the Chinese circle, Leo is known as the "Belt Brother". He changes his belt every day, and it doesn't work the same for the semester.
is close to the red one, and Li Puyu has also become a famous lady. She is full of clothes, shoes, bags and cosmetics purchased by Leo. She is a little cute and has a very resounding look.
I heard that there is a new short fat round green tea bitch in Lujiang. In order to get a rich second generation, he angrily threw away the first love of the domestic loser. He broke up for less than a month and couldn't wait to win the new love and ask for a gift.
I sneaked into the library with the tourist group and saw it, and I was shocked: Li Ostel! ?
Li Simusi was doing his homework. When he saw me, he greeted me with a smile. I waved my hand shamefully and said that I was busy today.
Li Ostole heard rumors and asked around and learned that they were from Leo's ex-girlfriend and went to the language class classroom where she was.
Ex-girlfriend’s circle of friends is cautious. In the corridor of
, the surrounded short ostrum was not at all dangerous, and he used her always careful logic to explain the misunderstanding.
did not angrily throw away his ex, there was no relationship between the old and new relationships, and the gift was not something to ask for... Before he finished speaking, a girl shouted "What are you showing off?" and used her deadly push skill. Li Siou staggered and grabbed the girl nearest. The other party grabbed the hair with his backhand and screamed for help. A nest of people flocked to melee.
I stood in the crowd around the corner of the corridor with my bubble tea in my hand, shocked.
stepped forward to rescue Li Mauliu and immediately pushed him to death.
Li Ostole pulled me, and the girl thought she was going to be hit by the front and back. She overturned the milk tea in my hand in resistance, and immediately smelled of taro.
She was about to scream, and with a "bang", she slid into a pool of purple water and started crying.
Li Maomoto pulled her, she tried hard to hide and shouted loudly, "Prostitute, don't touch me!"
Ex-girlfriend sent a full retreat order in the circle of friends.
"Forget it, I'm not ashamed, I have no shame and no tutor. Stop beating, it's so dirty."
I hugged Li Mau, and she said with red eyes, "They misunderstood me..."
"Shh, it's okay, let's go home." I said.
not all misunderstandings have solutions.
In the world of ostrum, people only have two states, the process of success and the process of success. She studied hard, communicated hard, lost weight (although it was useless), and dressed up hard, but the result was not perfect, but she didn't work hard enough.
Now she encounters something that she can’t do anything she tries, and her three views are damaged. I was so scared by the rumors that I dared not go out and cried every day.
Stories were circulated in the circle of friends, and they pretended to be harmless by their grades. In fact, the academic tycoon who is a bad character is a bad student. The mistress is still arrogant and takes people to find the original wife and fights against the original wife’s friends in public. It is a photo of a girl who stretched into the water, which is very vivid.
Li Ostole was finally defeated.
She reads her Moments all day long, covering her quilt and crying, refusing to eat, and taking the four subjects of the month to take the B.
I advised her to cheer up, but she responded for a long time and said, "I want to go back to China, I want to go home."
I panicked and hurriedly looked for Leo.
Leo roasts steak at home, as if nothing happened.
I'm very angry.
"Li Simusi is said to be like that. What is your boyfriend like this?"
Leo put a steak with truffle oil on me, praised Li Simusi, endlessly.
"She is so strong inside. When she hears those words, she doesn't care at all. I can't stand it and want to go and find trouble. She stops me and goes by herself. She is bullied and stops me from standing up and saying, 'If they say it, she can't die either. It's better to save time and do things quietly and live a good life'.I have never seen such a strong, smart and hardworking girl live with him, and I am also full of positive energy! "
is right, I also think this is Li Simu.
flirts with her circle of friends, and it is quiet.
her fragility is hidden in a place where no one sees it.
She licked her wounds, repaired herself as quickly as possible, and then used a stronger curve to live.
She said, "Other-dimensional, you can wait for two more days, and when I survive this injury, you will be even stronger.
After she finished speaking, she read the story of the top student Li Memoto. Her eyes were full of blood.
Later, I studied psychology and learned that the best treatment for acrophobia is to repeatedly stand on a high place and look down. If you get used to that kind of fear, you will no longer be afraid.
Li Jianqiang returned, cooked a large table of dishes, and invited me, Leo and his friends.
Leo asked her why she was suddenly happy, and I realized that I was her low place. The only witness of the period looked at her emotionally, but she was already busy um, ah, I love you too, and I feed each other and show my love.
I suddenly noticed that the box under the bed disappeared at some point.
Leo is very fond of Li Siouxun.
At that time, Li Siouxun worked as a math counselor and was on duty at 7:30 in the morning. Leo's Phaeten appeared downstairs on time at 7:00 every day, and Li Siouxun sat in. Have breakfast.
Hong Kong-style morning tea, Thai Tom Yum soup, and Korean rice dumplings are all made by him when he gets up early, and they rarely repeat them.
Li Siouxun loves the egg-ground sandwich he invented for her most: cut off the edge of the bread slices, crushed the eggs and sandwiched in the middle, and the bread and eggs are separated by a piece of ham.
Li Siouxun teaches, he sat in the tutoring room to make up for his sleep, and when he wakes up, he looks at her from a distance and draws her.
"Liang Mu?" Li Ostelle" The photo wall is full of Leo's paintings, which are as gentle and beautiful as his smile.
They travel as soon as they are on vacation.
Chicago, Hawaii, Scotland, Iceland, and fly farther and farther. Leo gave her Leo, hanged Canon 5D by herself, took photos while playing, and brought the photos back, which was completely different from her in Liang Mu's time.
I said, "Your decision to study abroad is too wise. You have been reborn in one and a half years and reached the peak of your life! "
Li Siouxun was very busy with his hands, and he just hurriedly replied to me.
"My life has not begun yet. "
Sophomore in the community college, the pressure of transferring schools is on the chest like the college entrance examination. Li Siouxun is busy taking the TOEFL, writing applications and contacting the admissions office, and has no time to find Leo.
Leo comes to her home every day to wait for her, cooking and cooking while waiting. I have a lot of fun.
Good times didn't last long.
Leo's birthday, I want Li Siouxun to give him himself. Before
moving, Li Siouxun left me a card. Thank you Thank you for spending the worst and best time with her. Welcome me to go to their loved ones often to play.
3.
Margaret Mitchell's former residence, in the north of the city center of Atlanta , see 16.5 US dollars a day.
A group of tourists surrounded a small narrow ladder, and the tour guide was spitting.
"Look, does it look like Bergie push down Scarlett, causing her to have miscarriage? Mitchell lived here when he wrote this plot! Come on, let's check out her typewriter! "
With a literary and artistic pilgrimage heart, I took photos and posted on Weibo. Suddenly I saw the smiley face bag and its Li Siouxun. I was shocked. After three years of graduation from the community college, she really became a flash of lightning.
also became a beauty expert.
just spoke a few words, and she put her fisherman hat on my head and stuffed a No. 001 YSL lipstick.
"Writer, in this era, there is only works but no face, and there is no way out. Hats and lipsticks are the bottom line, so you can’t be lazy anymore. "
I painted it and it turned out to be brighter. The lipstick was given to the leader of the styling, but she didn't accept it.
"Your meeting gift." "She said.
"Not very good, this is a famous brand. "I'm sorry.
" Saint Laurent. "
I remembered a Saturday morning four years ago.
She put on makeup in the bathroom, shouting Leo while dressing up. I was woken up and turned over in discomfort.
She shouted, "Leo, get the YSL your mother gave me! ”
Leo was in her bedroom, and ran to the bathroom, and first came to the door to get a fashionable basic correction.
"Don't read YSL, read Saint Laurent."
"Saint Laurent."
Li Simusi followed carefully, and the sound of kissing came from the bathroom.
That winter vacation, Leo took Li Ou's home. Leo's mother, who was proficient in maintenance in the luxury house, gave her lipstick, which was Li Ou's first red lipstick. She has been on the popular lips route since then and is now the queen of red lips for Weibo fans.
From this we can see that Li Simu's path to the goddess began with Leo.
She also changed Leo.
Leo before he met her, he stayed in the language class for three years. After becoming her boyfriend, he graduated for half a year and started learning cultural courses. It was not bad.
Sure enough, true love is because of him that you become a better person. The best interpretation of
is around me, and I yearn for true love and full of positive energy.
But they still broke up.
is the most ugly in history, no doubt about it.
In April 2012, Li Siouxun held nine college admission books: Berkeley , Pennsylvania, Wesley, Johns Hopkins, UCLA, NYU... prestigious schools lined up for her to go.
Scholarship and congratulatory messages surrounded Li Ostfei, and Lujiang posted her photos everywhere, making a gimmick for the New Year of Admissions. Although he is an old senior, he was in the language class for the first three years and was saved by Li Messel for a year, he still won't graduate until 2013.
Leo's parents suggested that Li Maule stay in Lujiang and transfer to Florida with Leo next year.
They made a fortune by real estate. They have recently entered the aviation industry and planned to run an aviation school and a Sino-US joint venture. Their hope is to the Flying School of the University of Florida . They hope that Leo and Li Ouo will be familiar with the environment, establish good relationships, and get a bachelor's degree by the way, and return to China to be the deputy president and deputy general secretary of the aviation school.
Li Ostole refused.
She said that she would not just delay a year, she wanted to transfer and chose to do it only between Berkeley and New York University, which was her dream.
Leo is very angry.
He was born in a southern family with distinct age and distinct heights. He could not bear to see Li Mau's disobey his mother and blamed him sternly.
The communication between the two is invalid, and they are quarrels and quarrels. Li Ostole is a busy man, and he is always quick to fight and decide. I was busy collecting admission letters and not paying attention to her emotional plot for the time being. It was late one night in June when she called for help, and I realized that things seemed much more serious than small fights.
I broke into their love hut and ran into Leo slapped on Li Siouxun's face and roared.
"You spend so much money on Uncle, but he is still fucking disobedient!"
Li Memoto stared at him, not crying or talking.
I held up my phone and shouted, I'm calling the police!
In Leo's glaring, I approached Li Ostole carefully, helped her up, and took her home.
The night is as cool as water, and it is still very quiet.
Li Siouxun's face was swollen, and I applied ice to her, sighing that Leo didn't know the importance of the attack.
, and Li Ostole is still in class, taking the exam, and getting an A.
I said seriously: "Li Ran, this slap shows a person's bad nature. You must draw a clear line with him. The faster the better!"
Li Ostole's tears were swaying.
She raised her head and wanted them to retreat, but it surged even harder.
She said, "I know, I know, I know what the right way is. You make me cry for a while, and it's good for a while."
She looked at the paintings and photos, and the wall was full of love Leo gave her.
Why do people have so many sides? All the love they have given becomes a knife.
Three days passed, Li Ostole went to class and did his homework, and it was very peaceful. The storm was about to come and the wind filled the building, which made me scared.
"You won't be overwhelmed, are you?" I asked worriedly.
"No."
Li Ostole was at my desk, watching videos to preview junior finance, and carefully copying the definition of FIN48.
I sighed that on the surface, there was a youth idol drama. I got a foreign diploma and returned to China to write the love between the domineering president and the silly sweet white man. I had a huge wealth at a young age and bought whatever I wanted. How many girls would wake up from laughing in their dreams. What a pity that the domineering president hides fifty degrees of gray.
She took the video advertisement to reply to me, and her study time was not delayed for a second.
"He is not a bad person. If it is a problem of bad temper control, I am willing to spend it with him.But he let me choose between control of life and love, so I had to say sorry to him. "
Li Simusi is in love, and the feeling is the most important thing. Anyway, the sense of security and the future are on his report card.
Leo loves her independence, but this independence has become an irreconcilable contradiction between them.
His golden cage and diamond cage can't even lock her up. She wants the world that she fights with herself and holds in her hands.
But Leo doesn't think so.
He regards her not letting go as if he is not coaxing her girlfriend. He promises her to get married after graduation, and sometimes he promises her to get married after graduation, and sometimes he promises her to pack shoes and relax for the rest of her life. He finally can't bear it anymore, scolding her for being ungrateful and hitting people.
"Actually, even if he doesn't hit you, you have already made a decision and will not shake it, right? "I asked.
"Work, gain, go to places you want to go, and go to schools you want to go to. Why do you have to shake things like this? "
" I understand, let's go to Leo's house to get things, and you can move them back. "
Li Siouxun didn't want to have another head-on conflict, so the next day, I asked Leo to chat, let him go five hours later, and returned to the home where there were no Li Siouxun's items.
Li Siouxun finally understood that Leo, who was as good as a prince, only existed when everything went well.
He got out of control, got drunk every day, cried and told him about his heart-wrenching efforts, Li Siouxun's ignorance and ungratefulness.
"I gave her nearly 40,000 US dollars, but she gave me nothing, not even 4,000! "
What he didn't know was that in order to buy him Longines worth $1,000, Li Simusi worked as an event reception 20 hours a week to bring the leftover pizza home for three meals.
I couldn't stand it, so I left her a bowl of soup.
The day she paid her salary, she bought everything she had eaten and put it in my food box.
As for those gifts, I clearly remember that Li Simusi knocked on my door in the middle of the night and said it was so beautiful, but it was too expensive. It was stressful. So big, such a gift made her feel so tired and wanted to return it.
Leo received several refunds and began to send bags, mobile phones and watches with the name engraved on it. She also hid it carefully until the return period passed before she got the love letter and quietly placed it next to Li's pillow.
He was domineeringly ordering her to put it on at that time, and he wanted to make his whole woman full of things he bought.
He gently begged her to accept: Big baby, I love you so much, gifts are just the best way to express myself I can think of, you Can I express it well?
. No one can tell me about the relationship after turning against each other.
Li Simuo brought a box, which contained the gifts Leo gave her, all.
She put him in front of Leo's house.
I reminded her that she was transferring to school. It was when she used money. This box of things was sold to a second-hand store, which basically solved the tuition for one year.
She said that she hoped these things could be exchanged for his psychological balance, and I don't owe him.
Then she didn't look at the box at all, went home and continued to do her homework.
The next day she opened the door, and all the gifts were torn and smashed, scattered in front of the door.
She bypassed Givenchy Bambi on the ground, tidied up her free T-shirt, expressionless, and went to school.
Leo became more and more out of control.
He hit the door in the middle of the night, woke up the neighbor, and the neighbor called the police.
He blocked Li Ostel on the way out of school and was sent to Restraining by the police. Order, ordered him to keep a distance of more than 100 meters from Li Siouxun.
school warned him that the United States and Chinese laws are different. If he harasses others like this, he will really go to jail.
Chinese circle is blown up again.
Chinese people in the Green River know that Li Xueba on the honor list is actually the greenest tea bitch in history. He went abroad to kick his boyfriend in China, and became a rich second generation, and was reborn as a delicious and spicy food, and was admitted to a famous school. I kicked someone and found that the rich second-generation circle was not easy to mess with. I tried my best to kill my ex-boyfriend to prison. The cruel method was shocking. The story of
, as a sequel to the top student bitch more than a year ago, attracted people to repost it. People who spoke to Li Siouxun said they slapped the face. For a moment, Li Siouxun was no longer called Li Siouxun. People called her the bitch among bitches, the bitch sister.
I didn’t know how to comfort her, because I was afraid that she would collapse again, and I was very nervous.
But she is busy working every day, and her responses to rumors are calm.
"I used to think rumors hurt people, but it turned out that I was just not busy enough."
's eyes were red and tears said that I would survive this uncomfortable feeling and I would be stronger, really stronger.
She said that she knew after one time that rumors seemed to destroy my life at first glance, but in fact, the past passed, and its lethality depends on how much I care. Life is so short, why should I care about things that don’t create value at all?
After she finished speaking, she returned to textbook C, focusing and intoxicated. She really didn't show off or endure this time.
"Goddess Li, I will bow to you!" I said sincerely.
I worship her every time I take the exam. This time I don’t worship her grades, I worship her as a person.
Those who have hurt her have made her stronger.
Li Siouxun is busy solving the difficulties, which is something that the 18-year-old cannot solve.
She has no money.
Berkeley gave her half award. If she wants to graduate, she still needs an average annual cost of RMB 200,000.
Li Simuomoto studied in the community college for one and a half years, and the scholarship was borne by part of the scholarship, and the rest was taken from 200,000 yuan. As soon as she graduated, she still has 80,000 yuan. Not to mention Berkeley tuition, it is not enough to apply for a proof of funds to exchange for I-20.
"Try asking your parents to do it?" I gave an idea.
"The salary is there, no, it is not, why bother them."
Li Simusi fell to bed and rested, and fell asleep in a short while.
In addition to campus worker, she works as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant and has a good tip, but for international students, it is a drop in the bucket.
and failing to submit the funding certificate means automatically giving up the admission.
Later I learned that she had the full award from the University of Washington at that time and kept it from me.
I asked her if she was afraid that I would advise you to be more realistic, give up Berkeley, and go to the University of Washington together.
She nodded.
I sighed, you survived, and the world really belongs to unrealistic people.
She waved her hand and changed the topic.
She later refused to mention this time.
As far as I know, she still went back to China to raise tuition fees, and she was not back to her hometown in Mianyang.
She found Leo's mother, and the old man taught her that she should leave a way out for herself in life, offending people to grit her teeth, and in the end she lost herself, and said that people have no dignity without money. Li Messel missed a great opportunity to turn things around, which was the end of young and ungrateful.
Li Ouomo stood up and said goodbye. The old man called her and handed her a check.
"Save you to find my son."
Li Messel insisted on writing an IOU. Leo's mother didn't want it. She stuffed the IOU into the gap on the sofa and bowed to thank him.
After walking far away, she was willing to shed tears and cried loudly.
Later, the IOU fell into Leo's hands. I don't know what the consequences are.
After the summer of 2012, I was a transfer student at the University of Washington. She went to Berkeley and everything in the past was cut off at once.
There is a kind of business in the study abroad circle.
rich families with mixed diplomas only choose courses but don’t attend classes. They spend money to take them on their behalf. The $1,000 per course is the market price in Washington state, and , California, is even more so.
Because of Leo, Li Ouo met this huge market. She silently wrote down the forum address, moved to California, and immediately entered the local community college to make money.
She has good grades, so she gets the scores as many as you want. In addition, she is refreshing and friendly, and has more and more customers.
She recruited Chinese graduate students who worked in the tutoring center, charged 1,200 customers and paid 800 salary. By the summer vacation of her junior year, she had already withdrawn from the front line, only contacted, collected money, and paid wages. She worked overtime at Morgan Stanley most of the time, and was willing to be the hardest intern.
. Once, a California court caught cheating, Li Mau's customers and employees were arrested one after another, their student visas were revoked, and they were sent back to China. Li Message cherishes time too much, and only talks on the phone and doesn’t type in everything, so he is a fish that misses the net. After the
became popular, new customers came to the door and were blocked by her.
was also during the summer vacation of his junior year, and Li Memoto met Liang Mu.
She returned to China and passed by Beijing. He was studying at Tsinghua University and asked her to visit the campus.
At that time, he was a freshman and she was a junior.
Li Siouxun wore her only luxury suit: LV bag, Tory Burch fisherman's shoes, exquisite makeup, bright red lips, and walking with Liang Mu's free T-shirt that doesn't fit well. It's awkward to see it.
When she contacted on WeChat earlier, Liang Mu's words were ambiguous. At this moment, behind his hands, he sighed that Li Ostole could choose a way. She had been through the college entrance examination for three years. She escaped from the system in the first year of high school and easily went to a world-renowned university, jumped to two levels, and became so fashionable.
Li Ostole is not humble either.
"In the first year of high school, good grades are your goal, but for me, what is important is life choices. Good grades are only used to enhance competitiveness and increase autonomy." She said.
Liang Mu nodded repeatedly.
His eyes were clear, and he still looked like a big child.
has not yet woken up from the dream of "I won a great victory in the college entrance examination, I want to relax and have fun." Life, society, and the pressures of the future are as far away as in another world.
Li Messel advised him to play less DOTA and study more, like to persuade his younger brother who lacks discipline.
Liang Mu retorted, dancing and joking.
"E-sports has been industrialized and is a formal sports project with huge market potential. DOTA's World Championship TI is in Seattle. Don't you know? This year's ticket price of 110 US dollars has been sold to 3,000 yuan on Taobao! The market is exaggerated!"
Li Ostole seems to be listening to aliens.
They have supper, walk, say goodbye, laugh, hug and wave, like a pair of good-family friends.
That night, Li Simusi registered a Taobao store, sold tickets around DOTA and TI3, and opened a reception service for on-site viewing, providing hotel reservations, air tickets and tour guide services.
In 2013, the US real estate market began to recover. Li Simuo asked the Chinese Bank to forge materials, apply for a loan, and bought a house for 80,000 US dollars, preparing to open a one-stop service in Seattle Watching Sport next year, so that all customers can live in this house.
is very lucky. Before the next year, Airbnb became popular first. She registered an account and left a room for a local student. The students managed daily rental business and had free food and accommodation. She worked as a remote large landlord in Berkeley.
owes Leo's mother money, and has paid off 1.15 times the interest.
4.
Li Mau and I reunited at the former residence of Margaret Mitchell. It was December 28, 2014.
I formed a team to travel by myself. After a day in Atlanta, she will be the first time she will take over the listing of the Chinese company in the United States and come for two weeks to train. In the
museum, we look at the old story composed of old photos together - the grudges and hatred between Mitchell and his two husbands.
After reading it, she still felt unsatisfied, so let me talk about "Gone with Gone".
I was shocked.
In my memory, her literary common sense and literary cell value are both zero. Before Artest changed his name to Ci Shiping , she couldn't tell him and Tolstoy.
Now, I not only have to read Margaret Mitchell seriously, but also listen to "Gone with Gone" and take me to the Atlanta Museum of Advanced Art.
She said that there is an Impressionist art exhibition there recently, which is worth seeing.
can even be said to be smooth in the Impressionist art exhibition. What about zero art cells that
?
Atlanta High-level Art Museum, the exhibition hall has four floors, and the whole body is perfectly lit. After paintings, Li Ostole passed by light steps and pious eyes.
She said, Ah, Jancen!
She said that she deserves to be Gauguin!
She said that she is still Monet’s biggest teacher!
I watched her pretend to behave quietly. She clearly thought that Fine Art was a good Chinese painting in her freshman year, which means that she was good at painting and had no idea about painting.
Then, I witnessed her chatting with a passerby who came to chat with someone who claimed to be an Italian painter.
She said that Gauguin likes to use the flat painting technique of ancient Egyptian murals to reflect the sense of primitiveness. He painted the brown ochre skin of many indigenous peoples. He also likes to show his inner enthusiasm with jumping and bright colors. Look at the shocking red and pure blue...
I asked her in a crashing way how she knew this.
"Has a Spanish painter been dated half a year ago, and I have learned some common sense. Didn't you teach me Mitchell's life and her "Gone with Gone" just now?"
Yes, Li Simusi's love of learning is never limited to the classroom. She absorbs all the advantages she has seen.
bad things come to her, and eventually they all turn from monsters to experience points, adding bricks and tiles to her Goddess Road and accelerating the upgrade.
I remember.
A month after she broke up with Leo, she saw his new girlfriend on Weibo, a little internet celebrity.
Internet celebrity posted a photo, and fans lined up to ask questions.
"Whose Goddess shoes belongs to?"
"Please Goddess T-shirt brand!"
Internet celebrity posts advertisements from time to time. It was rumored that Leo's new girlfriend is an internet celebrity, white and rich beauty, who easily earns money while studying, and is far away from Li'o's ost. The way to make money should be advertising.
Li Messel read her Weibo carefully.
"It's quite interesting, but when I advertise to others, the initiative in investment conversion rate is not in my own hands. I will be passive sooner or later. She should use her fame to do something else," she said.
Later I went to San Francisco for an interview, and by the way, I stayed at Li's house on the weekend.
She has "How to Build Your Social Media" on her bookcase and "Big Data Analysis: What Content Can Cause Crazy Reposting".
posted a Weibo post carefully, carefully wrote the copy, carefully selected photos, and talked about following the Weibo hot search list, regularly taking topics and other strategies to increase fans.
has more fans, which has attracted a new girlfriend to call her and sarcastic: her ex-girlfriend who is ready to move and imitate her.
A row of people flooded Li Ostole comment section.
"You don't want to learn goddess, you can learn it just by wanting to learn it. It depends on your fat and ugly!"
"If you are the first to be a [ex-girlfriend."
Li Maule ignored it.
She quietly gained her fans, and then promoted the Taobao store, turning the Taobao store into an internet celebrity Taobao store, with three blue diamonds hanging under the certification box.
The people who were excited to scold her for being a green tea bitch changed their faces one after another, and they came to her one by one with old classmates. This one wanted to cooperate to open a store and make a fortune together. The one was participating in the competition and needed to vote urgently, so please forward it.
At that time, Li Messel and a senior Berkeley were in love. The senior started a business in Silicon Valley and went to an investor to take her. Li Message and the investor and his wife made friends, got internal recommendations for the investment banking internship, and successfully joined the company.
rumored on Weibo that Li Message used her boyfriend as a springboard. Some netizens refuted, "The goddess is a white and rich girl from a famous school."
"How do you know?"
"I went abroad at the age of 16 and drove a BMW at the age of 21. Is it possible that my family is not well-off?"
5.
1 When he left his senior entrepreneur, Li Message had already broken up with his skills.
The two of them had a meal, talking, laughing, and blessings, and they were still good friends.
Li Messel loves him very much, saying that he is like the lover who came out of her dream, which conforms to all her fantasies, and lives her ideal life. When she talks to him, she understood what soul commonality is for the first time in her life.
A year after breaking up, she still had a blushing cheek and bright eyes when she talked about him.
"Then why did you break up?" I asked in the spacious and spacious art museum.
"He wants to go back to China to start a business, and he wants to enter the San Francisco financial circle. Instead of breaking up with all his pain, it is better to let love go, see each other's own scenery, see each other's goodbye, and be destined to be goodbye, and be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to
"You don't believe in true love anymore, do you know?"
"I believe in love, but I believe in myself more."
She was looking at a picture of Monet, and suddenly turned her head and smiled, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her eyes were firm, and her thin and short body exuded a strong momentum.
"And, experience shows that I am right."
The Italian painter appeared again, and he looked at Li Siouxun.
"You are very charming, can you have a cup of coffee together?"
Li Simusi smiled back.
"I appreciate that compliment. It was nice meeting you"
After saying that, she pulled me up and turned around and left, leaving behind a handsome and playful young back.
6.
One-day tour in Atlanta was carried out until four o'clock in the afternoon and I was sleepy.
Li Ostole entered the Coca-Cola Center, and sometimes took a photo with the polar bear doll, sometimes watched 4D animation, sometimes read company history, and sometimes wiped tears at the sensational advertisements. Jumping up and down, full of enthusiasm.
I followed her, looking for an opportunity to have a deep conversation with her.
Mother Li told me that next time I see Li Ma, I must persuade her not to work hard, free up energy to have a serious relationship, get married early, don’t fight for so long, and eventually become an older single woman.
I'll try it carefully.
"What is your ideal marriage partner like? He is rich and handsome, can you help each other in your career, or is it a family?"
"I am moved by each other."
"That's it?"
"When I was a child, I studied hard, so I chose a school freely, and now I work hard and make money, so I live freely. The career and life I want have already earned myself. Just be happy if I love you-found it!"
Before I could answer, Li Simusi had already rushed into the world Coke factory.
Coca-Cola adjusts the formula according to different races and regions, and different tastes in different countries.
All the flavors in the world are concentrated in this house called Coca-Cola factory: the continent name is on the top of the head, and there is a row of national names below, and each country name is on a faucet.
"I'm so thirsty!"
Li Ostole finished speaking, grabbed the plastic cup, slapped her expression while drinking, and asked me to take a photo.
Another person came forward to chat with her.
Li Siouxun heard that he was from Belgium, so he took the initiative to speak French.
free T-shirt borrowed from the phone and frizzy fat girl transformed into a heartthrob.
My three views were broken and I was stunned.
, if you look at her carefully, why are you surprised?
The 21-year-old girl in front of me is so confident, lively, exquisite, slim, fashionable, rich, graduated from a prestigious school, worked in a famous company, knowledgeable, interesting, with a bright smile, and a calm eyes.
She chatted with the Belgians, and her every move was just right, and even I felt charming.
She looks so independent, loves life, and is enthusiastic about exploring the great world. She doesn't rely on others to give her a sense of security or happiness.
I've been holding it all the way, your mother told you to find someone to settle down quickly, so as not to be an older single woman's advice, and I can't speak.
She said goodbye to the Belgians and had a sudden idea to hold a class reunion.
"In our class, six math counselors transferred to Georgia Science and Technology, and they all made an appointment to have fun all night!"
"But where do we go to the class reunion? What should they do if they are not convenient for their family? KTV and bars are not open all night, and it is strange to book a hotel."
Before I finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone, swiped for a while, and interrupted me.
"I've ordered it, penthouse on Airbnb, 598 square meters, overlooking the night view of Atlanta, and clear the room at 2pm tomorrow. Go and call people."
7.
In the huge penthouse, beer and popcorn are flying everywhere.
Thirteen old and new friends roast chicken wings, play games, chat about family matters, drink games, go downstairs to play billiards, fight mini golf, and swim.
Li Simuo is very excited to play. At three o'clock in the morning, I really couldn't hold on. I slept until I was halfway through, and I could still hear her excited shouting.
"Hahaha I remember that a group of us quarreled about that question until eleven o'clock, and the whole building was dark. My then boyfriend brought us some food!"
the next day.
10:30, I opened my eyes and everyone was still asleep.
A dozen or so bodies lie on the sofa, carpet, and bed, snoring one after another.
There is a six-point grinding egg sandwich on the dining table, and a note says Help yourself. Li Ostole's handwriting.
Li ostrum is gone.
I called, no one answered, and sent WeChat.
"Where are you? Don't you still need training? Don't forget to play. When will the training start?"
"Three hours ago, I'm resting for five minutes now."
"Then you got off the plane and ran around the city all day, plus playing all night? You still get up early to make breakfast, are you sleeping?"
I yelled, she was too desperate.
Fifteen hours later, I received a voice sentence, TVB accent special effects.
"Young, it's been a big deal."
