Chapter 149: 148. Ren He’s Filled-in Voluntary Choices (Third Update)_1

Because Ren He had become the top scorer in the middle school exams, but this particular top scorer had too many issues surrounding him, so no one knew why the person, who should have been the center of attention, was actually wandering around freely...

The journalists also wanted to interview Ren He, but no matter what, they couldn’t find him, they went to his house, and there was no one there! The journalists looked at each other in confusion, wondering what was going on—had the top scorer just vanished into thin air?

They started to look for connections at the school to find out the identity information of this top scorer, thinking that contacting the student’s parents might work.

Then during this investigative process, they suddenly uncovered a serious issue: the student’s father turned out to be the current Secretary of Luo City! Who could possibly interview someone like that, they didn’t stand a chance, alright?

They turned to contact Mrs. Ren, and the school had her phone number, but when they called, it wasn’t Mrs. Ren who answered. It was her secretary, who said right off the bat, "Mrs. Ru is currently busy and not available to take calls, please make an appointment at the company."

What the hell was this, there’s no way they could get an interview!

Ren He had already guessed that journalists would want to interview him, so he had hidden away in the company early on. The reason he didn’t accept interviews was simple: he couldn’t appear in the newspapers yet!

Because there was a journalist who was still tracking his secret identity as "Knight". He had even skipped school for a week because of this originally; now, he definitely couldn’t show his face in the newspapers.

The exam scores for Little Fatty Xu Nuo had also been found—570 points, more than enough to get into Luo City Number 13 Middle School. These past few days, Little Fatty had been in high spirits. His father had even rewarded him with 1000 yuan for his decent scores, making him extremely happy.

However, there was a minor incident in between. For some reason Xu Nuo was adamantly refusing to accept the 40% shares in the company, insisting he wouldn’t take them even if it killed him, and even went so far as to say that if they gave him the shares, he would quit.

With no other choice, Ren He agreed for the moment and then tried to persuade him later. But since the minimum number of partners in a limited liability company is two, eventually, the two of them went through a stock transfer agreement, with Xu Nuo owning 3% of the shares and Ren He owning 97%.

It was only later that Ren He understood that by mentioning the 17 million investment, he had helped Xu Nuo make up his mind completely. That amount of money was just too overwhelming for Xu Nuo, who had no clear concept of 17 million—he could be happy for a month with just 1000 yuan, 17 million sounded terrifying!

Xu Nuo was very touched that Ren He would treat him so well, but he couldn’t just take advantage of Ren He, at least not to such a large extent.

So it’s said, the relationship between people is mutual; Ren He’s attitude toward him also determined his attitude toward Ren He.

To be honest, Ren He had previously worried that due to Xu Nuo this gap might lead to a hostile takeover of Qinghe as it grew... but after thinking it over, he realized he had been overthinking it; he freaking never planned to go public in the first place...

Moreover, for capital increases, Ren He had already established official articles of incorporation stamped with a corporate seal early on. Unless supported by a two-thirds majority equity, Qinghe Company would always only have these two shareholders and only this amount of original shares.

With Ren He holding 97% of the shares and not planning to go public, there was no need to worry about such things.

Going public was originally for raising funds, but Ren He had never considered any financing or fundraising; all his financial sources came from his own royalties, self-sufficient!

One could say Ren He felt quite at ease, using his own money to raise a colossal entity! And this colossal entity was his own backup plan; anything could go wrong, but his backup plan absolutely couldn’t.

The scores were out, and it was time to fill in our college preference forms. After the middle school exams, seeing each other in the school felt so much lighter, with the burden of grades lifted and the possibility that we might never meet again looming.

Even within the same city, it’s quite possible to never cross paths again after high school, everyone must go through or get used to this process.

In Luo City, the July sun was like pillars of light casting down through the clouds. The sky was changing, and the cicadas had started chirping. The students frolicked around the campus. Ren He stood on the third floor, looking down, realizing that his junior high life had ended, and with it, another stage of his life.

For these youngsters before him, their new and exciting lives were just beginning, but for Ren He, his life was like a countdown, ticking away from sixteen to twenty-six.

In his past life, he had transitioned at the age of twenty-six. He wasn’t worried about anything else; Ren He was just afraid of having too many regrets if he lived to twenty-six again. Wouldn’t that make the reincarnation a waste?

Many knew that Ren He from Class 2 of ninth grade had topped the exams, but not many came to congratulate him. Many felt there was an unreality to his scores. But imperceptibly, Ren He’s aura had gained an additional layer.

Ren He was also happy that not too many people came up to be courteous to him. He truly couldn’t be bothered with empty pleasantries, knowing that even after exchanges, they would not talk or have much to do with each other in the future.

In Ren He’s view, it wasn’t that they were too naive to have common topics of conversation; rather, they were simply uninteresting and lacked character.

When it came time to fill in the college preferences, it was still the English teacher who distributed the forms. Ren He, Yang Xi, and Xu Nuo didn’t hesitate to fill in the full name of their school: Luo City Foreign Language School. That was the official name of No. 13 Middle School, Ren He’s alma mater. It sounded quite stylish, though its teaching quality was really only average.

Given Xu Nuo’s scores, he could have easily chosen far better schools. His dad also wanted him to apply to those schools, but Xu Nuo reported his own school without looking back, as it was a decision he had previously discussed and agreed upon with Ren He.

The three of them exchanged smiles, unsure if they would be classmates in high school, but Ren He planned to figure something out when the time came.

The English teacher collected the preference forms and deliberately glanced at Ren He’s choice. Not for any particular reason, he was just curious to see where this dark horse would choose to go to school. However, when he saw the Luo City Foreign Language School on Ren He’s form, he was stunned for two seconds. Such high marks and enrolling in his own school? It seemed like a joke, too childish.

The English teacher was well aware of the level of the school he worked at, so he wondered if Ren He had gone mad. However, at this point, Ren He’s teachers actually didn’t dislike him too much—he hadn’t caused much trouble during his time with them, after all. Wherever the student wanted to apply was up to him. Once Ren He moved up, his choices would no longer be their concern, for there wasn’t much interaction between the junior and senior high sections.

The English teacher then took all the forms and headed to the Office of Academic Affairs. They couldn’t keep any of the forms; all had to be submitted there.

Director Liu, who was about to take a sip of water at the Office of Academic Affairs, brightened up when he saw the English teacher and asked eagerly, "Did Ren He from your class apply for Luo First High?"

The English teacher didn’t know why Director Liu was interested, but since he’d been asked, he felt obliged to respond. "I don’t know why, but the kid, after scoring so high, actually chose our school!"

Crash... The cup in Director Liu’s hand fell to the ground and shattered...
