Chapter 216 Winning at the Starting Line
"Cram schools? This is really hard. But it should be a little easier after college, although not much easier." Heath said with a smile. He really didn't expect that there would be cram schools in this world. This couldn't help but bring back Heath's painful memories.
"Well, I want to apply to Quartz University for college." Karenya said seriously. Heath was a little surprised. Quartz University is basically the best university in the two regions of Quartz Union and Metropolis Union. There is no other university like it. But precisely because of the excellence of Quartz Union University, the admission requirements of Quartz Union University are very harsh, and the requirements for students' academic performance are also very high.
And it doesn't mean you can sit back and relax after passing the exam. After being admitted to Quartz University, you still need to go through four long years of study. Every year is like the college entrance examination. If you fail a subject, you will be directly expelled. There are no make-up exams or retaking the courses. Moreover, when 60 points is enough in other schools, the passing score of Quartz University is 75 points.
It is also for this reason that although Quartz University is a top university that all students dream of, it is also a very difficult bridge to walk on. Those who can walk out are all gifted children, and their starting point for finding a job is much higher than others.
"That's a top university, come on." Heath smiled and threw the noodles into the pot. Fortunately, he was not a student and had no interest in taking the college entrance examination. After all, after coming to this world, Heath knew nothing about the subjects taught in this world.
Karenya nodded, looking at Heath calmly with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, but Heath did not notice this. After he prepared the crispy beef noodles, he served it to Karenya, then turned around and began to prepare the fried chicken .
The sun came out very early in the summer morning, and soon it shone on Karenya and the dining car. The shadows were stretched very long, and Karenya's shadow was wriggling, as if something was lurking in it. However, after Karenya gave the shadow a cold look, the shadow became a lot more obedient and became like an ordinary shadow.
When Heath brought out the fried chicken, Karenya had already finished her breakfast and was wiping her mouth. When she saw Heath, she gave a shy smile.
"Brother Heath, can I trouble you with something?" Karenya lowered his head embarrassedly. It can be seen that the boy is very shy.
"What's wrong?" Heath looked at Karenya curiously. Sometimes, guests would talk to him like this, but those guests were all shy girls. After all, Heath's appearance was the same as in his previous life. Although not very handsome, he was still very attractive and belonged to the handsome type.
"It's like this, our school requires us to do social practice activities during the holidays, and I want to work here in your food truck. Can you help me fill out the social practice form then?" Karen said shyly. Heath was stunned for a moment. This request was not very difficult, but Heath didn't know how long he would stay in the Quartz Alliance.
"How long?" Heath asked. This kind of thing was not unheard of. Heath had seen several students working as cleaners when he was setting up a stall before. After asking, he realized that this was also a kind of social practice activity.
"It will only take a day or two." Karenya looked at Heath with some anticipation, her eyes filled with embarrassment and fear of being rejected. Heath nodded. One or two days was not a big deal.
"Let's start from today. Karenya, help me carry the plates and then serve the dishes to the guests. Speed is not important, but it must be steady." Heath agreed. This kind of thing was not difficult, and Heath didn't mind giving the little guy the opportunity to complete his homework.
"Well! Thank you, Brother Heath!" Karenya twitched the corner of her mouth and revealed a smile.
Heath scratched his head and looked at Karenya who was standing outside the dining car very enthusiastically. Heath always felt that something was strange, but this was not considered as employing child labor. Students in this world always have such a social practice course, so it was not strange.
After a while, as time passed, more and more people came to Heath's dining car. The crab roe soup dumplings of the Scallion Duck smelled very good and attracted many customers. Those customers who wanted to sit down and dine were all treated very well by Karenya. After observing for a while, Heath felt relieved, after all, Karenya was very skilled.
Heath thought that during her last social practice, Karenya had also found a restaurant to do her job.
"Yawn... Boss, today's takeaway is still the same. Can you give me some... um... crab roe soup dumplings? I want to have breakfast." As soon as Heath heard the voice, he knew who was coming. No one except Mr. Asong would yawn so early in the morning.
"Are you still going to work today?" Heath looked at Asong with some surprise. He really didn't expect to see Mr. Asong looking like he was about to die from .
"Go ahead, work six days a week and rest one day." Asong yawned again and his eyelids drooped.
Heath felt like laughing. This company was very similar to those Internet companies in his previous life. He guessed that working 996 was a blessing. After all, this company also provided a powerful maid wake-up slap service that could drive away sleepiness.
"Mr. Asong, staying up late will cause hair loss, dark circles under the eyes, poor skin, endocrine disorders, and an increased risk of sudden death." Heath picked up two crab roe soup dumplings with a clip, put them in a plastic bag, and handed them to Mr. Asong.
"Then I think I'm probably winning at the starting line in these things." Mr. Asong laughed at himself helplessly, then paid the money and staggered away.
Heath shook his head. It seemed that no matter what world it was, it was difficult for workers to live a good life in this society.
Heath glanced at Karenya, who was collecting bowls. A few customers had just ordered the crispy beef, and now those customers had finished eating. Karenya was very serious while working, and Heath was very pleased. If it weren't for Karenya's dream and Heath's travel plans, Heath thought that letting Karenya follow him as a waiter would be a good choice.
"But if I really want to become one, I probably have to wait a few years, right?" Heath yawned. Mr. Asong's yawn just now infected Heath.
Heath shook his head and didn't bother with it anymore. Instead, he entertained the guests who came to eat in the morning. If the food could be sold out early, Heath could rest earlier.
