Chapter 82: Going Abroad Is Not Playing Home
"Guiyuan Temple is really my own blessed place!" Chen Chufan, who walked into the club, was still thinking like this. Indeed, he felt very good after coming out of Guiyuan Temple for two consecutive days. Of course, Chen Chufan is not a ruthless person, so he naturally remembered the goodness of the old monk in Guiyuan Temple.
After calming down, Chen Chufan walked directly to Aunt Liu's manager's room. He was the temple that had left by time, but it was the time he had agreed with Aunt Liu.
"Aunt Liu!"
"Come on, sit down!" Liu Xiaoting, who was busy in front of the case, stopped the work at hand when she saw Chen Chufan coming in, pointed to the chair before work, and signaled Chen Chufan to sit down.
"Are you sure you have thought about it?" Liu Xiaoting looked at the boy in front of her.
Chen Chufan nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, Aunt Liu, the opportunity is rare, I think I should seize it."
"Okay, you can't repent after you have thought about it. The club will help you contact foreign schools, go through study abroad procedures, etc. It's not just a child's house!" Liu Xiaoting continued to reiterate, after all, this is a relatively important decision and cannot be played by her.
"Yeah! I understand, Aunt Liu, don't worry!"
"Okay, since you have decided, the club will start to operate! By the way, how is your English level?" After hearing Chen Chufan's affirmative answer, Liu Xiaoting quickly got to the point.
"It's simply the second mother tongue!" Chen Chufan said confidently. In fact, English has always been Chen Chufan's weakness. Apart from simply saying hello, it is probably difficult to read a little longer sentence. But he is now very confident in his perverted memory. He can even memorize Buddhist scriptures once. What is the only English? It's just memorizing words and remembering grammar. Now, for Chen Chufan, the problem that can be solved by rote memorization is not a problem.
"Oh? Then have you ever taken TOEFL or IELTS?" Liu Xiaoting looked at the boy in front of her with some surprise. It seemed that he could always give him unexpected surprises at a certain moment. It was already very surprised that Liu Yunyun learned from her that the boy had all kinds of instruments. She had a higher evaluation of the boy, but she did not expect that his language ability was so outstanding.
"No!" Chen Chufan shook his head, but thought in his heart that he still needed to memorize the dictionary and listen to the tapes in his second mother tongue.
"Oh!" Liu Xiaoting responded skeptically, "Chen Chufan, you have to tell the truth. If you can't pass the language, it will be troublesome to go abroad. If you still lack language, the club still needs to sign up for you in a language class according to your grades!"
"Don't worry! Language is definitely not a problem!" Chen Chufan continued to swear.
"Okay, this will reduce a lot of trouble. Well, then I need to record a video of your piano. I heard that you know other instruments. You are choosing someone you are good at, recording them together, and sending them to foreign schools." Seeing Chen Chufan so confident, Liu Xiaoting ignored this topic and continued to talk about the next step.
"Well, then we're done today!" Chen Chufan nodded, and there was no problem.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about the rest, and leave it to the club to operate! But before that, you have to sign two contracts, all of which have been prepared for you. Take a look and sign it if there is no problem."
Liu Xiaoting handed Chen Chufan a stack of contracts placed on her desk, and then continued to explain: "The first one is a power of attorney, which means that you authorize the club to arrange for you to study abroad, including choosing a school, etc., for all matters. You need to go to the notary office to notarize it. The second one is a cooperation contract with the club. The club fully sponsors your expenses for going abroad, including tuition and living expenses. After investigating local prices, the club will set a more appropriate standard. Your obligation is to give priority to serving the club after you have achieved success in your studies."
Chen Chufan took the contract in his hand and carefully browsed it. The main thing he looked at was Party B's rights and obligations: "I would like to ask, Aunt Liu, if Party B accepted this sponsorship contract, it is necessary to cherish this opportunity during the study abroad, study hard, and become a talent. If Party B does not do his job properly when studying abroad, and his life is degenerate, Party A has the right to terminate this contract at any time and reserve the right to hold Party B accountable? How to explain it? How to define whether I am not doing my job properly?"
"This will be specified in the additional terms in the future. After you determine your school and major, you will list the subjects you have studied in detail, and then use your grades and the evaluation of the school tutor as the basis. Don't worry, since the club has sent you out, of course, I hope you will succeed in your studies and will not deliberately make things difficult for you. This is just to ensure that you can cherish this opportunity more after going abroad and study hard." Aunt Liu explained.
Chen Chufan nodded. Since he was based on academic performance, he was not afraid of anything. The reason why he asked specifically was that he was afraid that he would not understand enough and that he would cause trouble in the future. There was nothing else to say. It was nothing more than that after he finished his studies, he would give priority to serving the club for three years. If he became famous, he would need to cooperate with the club to complete at least three publicity activities planned by the club, and other exchange terms.
Chen Chufan can understand these conditions. Unless he is his family, no one can treat you well for no reason. If there are no such conditions, Chen Chufan should think carefully about whether this club has any other ulterior motives. So Chen Chufan happily signed the contract and handed it to Liu Xiaoting.
"Okay, leave me your contact number, it's best to leave me your home contact number!" Liu Xiaoting looked at the contract, nodded, and continued.
Chen Chufan wrote all the numbers of his dormitory and the phone numbers he gave to Aunt Liu.
"Okay, that's it. I left a copy of your ID card in the last time, right?" Liu Xiaoting asked again after taking the contract.
Chen Chufan nodded, "Yes, Aunt Liu. By the way, I won't leave soon, right? I still haven't finished some things and want to stay in China for a longer time."
"How long do you mean you want to stay?" Aunt Liu asked.
"It's enough for about one month!" Chen Chufan said with some trepidation.
Liu Xiaoting looked at Chen Chufan strangely, "One month? Do you think studying abroad is a wine shop? Make a decision today and you can go out tomorrow? At the earliest, three months later, you haven't even taken the TOEFL yet! The TOEFL test in May this year has passed. You have to wait for August to take the TOEFL test. After the exam, you will contact the school based on your scores. You have to wait for the admission notice from foreign schools. This is good to complete all the procedures in September. This is the premise that you say that your language is definitely not a problem. If you can't pass the language, you still need to sign up for TOEFL classes, IELTS classes, etc., which will take longer!"
Chen Chufan was a little embarrassed because he had never thought about going abroad, so he did not deliberately find out what conditions and procedures needed to go abroad, so he asked such an illogical question. He couldn't help but blush at his ignorance. However, this also made Chen Chufan decide to read more books and read books wildly. He should not waste his talent to remember everything. Not to mention his knowledge of the past and the present, at least he had to know astronomy, geography, human relationships and worldly ways.
"Hehe, I haven't learned it specifically. It turns out that studying abroad is such a troublesome thing!" Chen Chufan touched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "There is another thing, Aunt Liu, since I have decided to go abroad, I think after the performance today, I will quit my part-time job here first. There is a lot of time to prepare!"
Chen Chufan proposed to resign from two aspects. On the one hand, it was as he said to Aunt Liu. Since he was about to go abroad, he should cherish his time in China. On the other hand, he snatched Xiaoliu's job because of his arrival. It would be fine if his relationship with the band was stiffer, but now he is in good relationship with the band. Several people are very good to him, especially when he asks them to help arrange the music, others will help him wholeheartedly without saying a word. Chen Chufan sees all these things, so he naturally feels embarrassed.
"Well, you are going abroad, so you should spend more time to prepare yourself. This is up to you. I will say hello, and you will go to the finance department to settle your salary tonight." Liu Xiaoting agreed readily.
After saying goodbye to Aunt Liu, Chen Chufan went straight to the band's practice room. As soon as he opened the door, he heard the band's people playing the song they created. He was extremely moved. Although several people met by chance, they were very concerned about their own affairs. They even wrote their own songs in one day and could all play them together.
"Brother Chen is here. Brothers, stop and stop first. Let us Brother Chen be the lead singer and do it again." Huo Yuxing greeted Chen Chufan when he saw Chen Chufan walk into the practice room. The group stopped playing and looked at Chen Chufan who had just entered the practice room.
Chen Chufan waved his hand casually, and even said hello to everyone. He came to the practice table and took a piano score handed to him by Huo Yuxing. "This is the piano accompaniment. Let's try it together. You can see if you are satisfied!"
"Thank you, Brother Huo!" Chen Chufan first thanked Huo Yuxing, and then said loudly to everyone: "Thank you, everyone, I have something to do in the past two days, I'm done, I'll treat you to dinner!"
"Brother Chen invites you to dinner, then we'll write it down. Hehe, okay, let's prepare, we'll start!" After saying that, everyone took their place.
First there was a small piece of guitar, then the melodious saxophone sound. When Chen Chufan began to press the piano keyboard, he also found that faint sense of sorrow and began to interpret the first song he created with his magnetic voice.
The lyrics are stories that lovers never get married, and of course they are a little sad. The arrangement of the song is exactly in line with Chen Chufan's mood of separation at this time. In addition, it is a song written by himself, so of course they have a unique understanding of this song. The whole song is well mastered by the high, low, strong, weak, pause, ups and downs, and after singing one song, it made everyone feel a lot. Chen Chufan himself was immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself for a long time.
"Hey, Brother Chen, just rely on this song, you might as well go to the pop music scene. Maybe you will become a hit! Don't compete for jobs with us." After a long time, Huo Yuxing sighed.
