Chapter 137 Li Shiqing's University Application Diary
On a sunny day with a gentle breeze, Li Shiqing and her family were busy preparing for her university registration.
Li Yuan, the powerful businesswoman, was standing in front of her wardrobe, her brows furrowed, flipping through the clothes one by one, muttering to herself, "Oh dear, what should I wear to school? It can't be too formal and seem distant, but it can't be too casual and lose my aura."
Liu Xuan, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, reading the newspaper, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Honey, you're going to take our daughter to school, not to do business. Why are you dressed so nicely?"
Li Yuan glared at him: "What do you know? This is an important day for my precious daughter to go to university. She might even meet school leaders. First impressions are very important."
Just then, Li Shiqing walked in dressed casually, smiling and saying, "Mom, don't worry about it, you look good in anything. Are you all ready? We're about to leave."
Li Yuan reluctantly chose a simple yet elegant suit. The family of three then set off in a grand procession towards Li Shiqing's university.
When they arrived at the school gate, it was a sea of people. Li Shiqing's eyes lit up with excitement. She grabbed Li Yuan's hand and said, "Mom, Dad, look, this is my university! I'm going to start a new chapter in my life here!"
Liu Xuan patted her shoulder with a smile: "Baby, study hard. If anyone dares to bully you, tell Dad, and Dad will settle the score with them."
Li Yuan then solemnly instructed, "Shi Qing, once you get to university, you can't slack off on your studies. You need to participate in more club activities, expand your network, and also..."
"Mom, I know, you've said it eight hundred times already," Li Shiqing interrupted Li Yuan in a coquettish tone.
They followed the crowd to the registration area, where there was a long queue. Li Yuan stood in line, constantly looking at the classmates and parents around her, and occasionally whispering to Liu Xuan, "Look at that parent, they look like they don't know much about education. And look at us, we can't let Shi Qing lose face."
Liu Xuan shook his head helplessly: "Wife, can you stop comparing us like this? We're all here to send our kids to school."
After a long wait, it was finally their turn. Li Shiqing handed over her admission notice, and after the staff verified the information, they said, "Welcome to our school's Business Management program."
Li Shiqing said happily, "Thank you, teacher. I will definitely study hard."
Li Yuan smiled and said to the staff, "Teacher, my daughter Shi Qing has been interested in business management since she was little. You'll have to put in a lot of effort to teach her. If she does anything wrong, please feel free to criticize her. We will fully support your work."
The staff member smiled and nodded: "Parents, please rest assured, we will do our best to nurture every student."
After registering, Li Shiqing suggested taking a walk around the campus. They arrived at the library, and Li Yuan, looking at the magnificent building, exclaimed, "This library is really impressive, even bigger than our company's conference room. Shiqing, you should come here to read more often; knowledge is power!"
Liu Xuan joked from the side, "Wife, if you had this awareness back then, you might be the world's richest man now."
Li Yuan rolled her eyes at him: "You're such a chatterbox. If I were the richest person in the world, I'd be the first to divorce you."
The three of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the playground. Seeing the students playing soccer on the field, Liu Xuan's interest was piqued: "Shi Qing, do you want Dad to show you his soccer skills?"
Li Shiqing clapped her hands and cheered, "Great! Dad, I've never seen you play football before!"
Liu Xuan took off his coat and prepared to go on stage. Li Yuan quickly stopped him: "How old are you? Why are you joining in with the young people? Don't fall down and make a fool of yourself."
Liu Xuan retorted, "I'm in great shape. I was a key player on the football team back in school."
Just then, a soccer ball rolled to their feet, and a boy ran over: "Uncle, aunt, classmate, I'm sorry to bother you, could you please pass the ball to me?"
Liu Xuan's eyes lit up: "Young man, perfect timing! How about I play with you guys for a bit?"
The boy looked at Liu Xuan in surprise: "Uncle, you can play soccer?"
Liu Xuan said smugly, "You underestimate your uncle, don't you? Come on, let me show you."
As he spoke, Liu Xuan started running around the playground with the ball, occasionally pulling off some flashy dribbling moves. Li Shiqing shouted excitedly from the sidelines, "Dad, go! Dad, you're amazing!"
Li Yuan stood awkwardly to the side, muttering under her breath, "What a childish old man, still acting like a kid at his age."
After playing football for a while, Liu Xuan returned, panting. Li Shiqing handed him a bottle of water: "Dad, you're amazing! None of the other boys can compare to you."
Liu Xuan wiped his sweat: "How was it, daughter? Did Dad embarrass you?"
Li Yuan said irritably, "You're just showing off. What will you do when you're too tired to walk?"
After strolling around the campus, it was already noon, so they found a restaurant near the school to eat. After ordering, Li Yuan began to give Li Shiqing some advice: "Shiqing, you can't just eat anything at school. You have to eat nutritious food. Health is the foundation of everything. Also, you have to get along well with your classmates. Maybe these classmates will become your network of contacts in the future."
Liu Xuan said with a smile, "Wife, don't bring your shopping mall mentality to the school. Make things easier for the kids."
Li Yuan retorted, "I'm doing this for her own good. Society is so competitive these days; how can we not do our best to prepare?"
Li Shiqing said helplessly, "Mom, I know you mean well, so don't worry about me. I'll take good care of myself. Oh, Mom, I have something to tell you."
Li Yuan asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Li Shiqing said earnestly, "After I graduate, I want to work at your company. I want to learn from you and help you with some of your work in the future."
Li Yuan smiled with relief upon hearing this: "Honey, Mom supports you. But at the company, I won't show you any favoritism just because you're my daughter. You'll have to rely on your own efforts."
Liu Xuan also said, "Shi Qing, it's great that you have this idea, but don't forget to maintain a learning mindset at work and keep improving yourself."
Li Shiqing nodded vigorously: "Yes, I will. I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations."
Just then, the dishes arrived. Looking at the table full of food, Li Yuan began to murmur, "Shi Qing, eat more of this fish, it's good for your brain; and these green vegetables, they're good for your vitamins..."
Liu Xuan smiled and said to Li Shiqing, "Daughter, eat quickly. After we finish eating, let's hurry home, or your mother will start her long lecture again."
Li Yuan glared at Liu Xuan: "I'm just concerned about my daughter. If you think I'm being long-winded, then don't listen to me."
The meal ended amidst laughter and cheerful conversation. In the afternoon, Li Shiqing went to her dormitory to pack her luggage. Li Yuan and Liu Xuan helped her move her things to the dormitory before preparing to go home themselves.
Li Yuan held Li Shiqing's hand, her eyes filled with reluctance: "Baby, take good care of yourself at school. If you miss Mom, just call me."
Liu Xuan also said, "Daughter, if something happens, tell Dad. Don't bear it all alone."
Li Shiqing's eyes reddened slightly: "Okay, I understand. Please be careful on your journey."
Watching Li Yuan and Liu Xuan's car drive away, Li Shiqing secretly resolved to study hard at university and prepare for working at her mother's company in the future. On their way home, Li Yuan and Liu Xuan continued to discuss Li Shiqing's future, filled with high hopes for their daughter and believing she would definitely make a name for herself in the business world.
