Chapter 330 Create the Miracle
In her heart, Xia Xiaoluo understood that it was a good thing to study. However, she didn’t like studying. Once she read a book, she would have a headache.
However, Xia Xiaoluo looked at the little guy in her arms. Suddenly she thought it over and took a deep breath, and then she said, “Grandpa, uncle, although I hate studying, I want to be Taotao’s model. I don’t want him to know that his mom only has high school degree when he grows up. I will work hard to learn the language, and finish the study in the university.”
“Good! That’s right! All the children of the Ouyang family are smart. Xiaoluo, I believe you. As long as you are willing to work hard, we will provide you with the best education, you must be an elite in the future.” Ouyang Feng said with a smile.
“Grandpa, I thought about something just now. My dream is to run a restaurant. Can I concentrate on a bachelor degree in cooking?” Xia Xiaoluo asked.
“No!” Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Mingyu said in one voice.
“Ah?” Xia Xiaoluo was depressed.
At this time, Xiao Lan came. Xia Xiaoluo gave Taotao to Xiao Lan and asked her to make Taotao fall asleep in the room. She planned to discuss her learning problems with her grandfather and uncle.
Ouyang Mingyu and Ouyang Feng also knew Xia Xiaoluo’s meaning. The three of them went to Ouyang Feng’s study together.
“Grandpa, uncle, I’m only interested in cooking, and I only want to run a restaurant. Why don’t you force me to learn accounting? It’s no use of learning it.” Xia Xiaoluo expressed her opinion first.
“Xiaoluo, let me tell you something more. If you want to run a restaurant, it’s not enough just to know how to cook. If you don’t know the management, finance, operation and sales, even if you are good at cooking, it’s impossible for you to make a lot of money.”
“What’s more, it’s better to run a hotel instead of doing the catering only. There are catering, accommodation, swimming, gym, bowling and so on in the hotel. The business is diversified.”
“You like cooking. I don’t reject it. You can learn it. I can hire the best cook to teach you. But you can’t only learn cooking. Do you understand?”
When Ouyang Mingyu was talking to Xia Xiaoluo, Ouyang Feng kept nodding to express his agreement.
“Xiaoluo, your uncle is right. Even if a person who does not know cooking skills at all, as long as he knows the management and how to manage people. When he hires the best cook, he can still do a good job in catering. The most important thing in business is to know everyone’s advantages and how to manage them. Let them give full play to their significance. You can be invincible even if you know nothing about it.” Ouyang Feng said.
“Grandpa, uncle, I see. I study management is to learn the way of employing people. I don’t know sales. But I can hire the best salesman. I don’t know finance. But I can hire the best accountant. I can also hire the best chefs. I must study hard. I need you to help me, because I’m really not good at studying. I’m afraid that even if I work hard, I won’t learn those complicated knowledges well.” Xia Xiaoluo finally understood the importance of learning. It was not only to be an example for Taotao, but also it was good for herself.
“Don’t worry! I will arrange everything for you. You won’t be confused. You can study business management as your major as your Bachelor Degree, and study the MBA next. At that time, whether you want to run a restaurant, or to work in the companies of the Ouyang family, there is absolutely no problem.” Ouyang Mingyu was very happy. Xia Xiaoluo finally promised to study hard.
“Xiaoluo, how about Grandpa offering you an incentive policy?” Ouyang Feng said with a smile.
“Grandpa, what kind of incentive policy do you want to offer me?” Xia Xiaoluo asked immediately.
“If you can pass the language exam successfully, before you go to university, I will buy you a restaurant in your university. You can study and practice at the same time.” Ouyang Feng smiled, he felt that Xia Xiaoluo would like this incentive policy.
“Wow! I will try my best to study!” Xia Xiaoluo clenched her fists, and she looked confident.
“But grandpa, what should I do if I lose money in business?” Xia Xiaoluo suddenly felt less confident.
“If you lose money in business, I’ll fill in the hole for you. If you are successful, you can keep the money and continue to save money for Taotao.” Ouyang Mingyu said with a smile.
Ouyang Feng said, “Grandpa is retired now. I don’t have to manage the business of the Ouyang family. I have much time to be a think-tank for you. You won’t lose money in business.”
“Oh yeah! That’s great!” Xia Xiaoluo jumped up with excitement.
Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Mingyu saw that Xia Xiaoluo was excited, they felt happy as well.
“Uncle, I don’t want to start it after the New Year. I want to start learning foreign language as soon as possible. Can I start now?” Xia Xiaoluo said. She wanted to learn those ABC which made her headache at once.
“Well!” Ouyang Mingyu paddled Xia Xiaoluo’s head. “OK. I’ll make a phone call. You go to see Taotao. We’ll set off half an hour later.”
“I’ll go, too!” Ouyang Feng naturally won’t miss it. He’s going to cheer Xia Xiaoluo up.
More than half an hour’s drive from the Ouyang’s manor, there was a top language school in Y Country. Ouyang Mingyu’s secretary has already contacted them about Xia Xiaoluo’s enrollment.
“In order to enable the students to study better, we will arrange the students of different levels in different classes. So before entering the school, we need to have a systematic test.” The beautiful registrar said with a smile.
Xia Xiaoluo couldn’t understand anything. She could only nod continuously, but she didn’t know that she was about to have an exam.
After Ouyang Mingyu’s translation, Xia Xiaoluo was sweating. However, since she chose to study, she had to force herself to do so. Xia Xiaoluo could only take the exam.
After written, listening and oral exams, Xia Xiaoluo was almost crying.
The registrar said, “She needs to start from the basic class. I hope that she can be diligent.”
“Can she go to the university in September?” Ouyang Feng asked.
“If she is diligent enough, I believe that miracles can happen.” The registrar said politely, which means that even though Xia Xiaoluo could learn at the level of the university in half a year, it was a miracle.
“Of course! I believe in miracles! I’m sure that my niece can do it!” Ouyang Mingyu said. As the manager of the Ouyang family, he created too many miracles. So he believed that all the members of his family could succeed in what seems impossible like him.
“Good. Class will begin tomorrow.” The registrar said with a smile. “You can go through the admission procedures for her.”
Ouyang Feng took his son and granddaughter to eat outside the school. He liked a dessert shop nearby very much. Ouyang Mingyu’s secretary was responsible for Xia Xiaoluo’s admission procedures.
“Is it delicious? Xiaoluo, this egg tart tastes good!” Ouyang Feng said with a smile. He felt that Xia Xiaoluo seemed not very happy.
“Grandpa, do you really think I can do it? I really have a poor foundation about study. Why don’t I just learn how to be a cook? Anyway, I can’t earn a lot of money, but I won’t starve myself and Taotao.” Xia Xiaoluo began to be not confident again, she wanted to beat a retreat.
“No, you can’t. Since the decision is made, we must do it well.” Ouyang Feng said.
“I will help you. I have asked my secretary to hire a home tutor for you. You’ll study at school in the daytime and you can study at home at night. Moreover, you are now in Y Country. In such a language environment, you must be successful.” Ouyang Mingyu was very confident. Even if he read Xia Xiaoluo’s test paper, he still believed in Xia Xiaoluo’s ability and intelligence.
“Xiaoluo, you need to be confident about yourself. We all support you!” Ouyang Feng said.
“OK. I will work hard! I will try my best!” Xia Xiaoluo clenched her fists.
In the following days, Xia Xiaoluo really worked hard. Whenever she encountered difficulties in her study, Ouyang Feng would come to encourage her with Taotao. He said to Taotao on purpose, “Taotao baby, look at your mom. She doesn’t study hard. She wants to quit when she meets difficulties. She has no courage at all. Don’t learn from her!”
“Taotao, don’t listen to your great grandfather’s nonsense. Your mom is very powerful. Such a minor difficult can’t defeat mom!” Xia Xiaoluo retorted immediately. She couldn’t let her son think that she was useless.
Taotao became Xia Xiaoluo’s spiritual motivation in learning. In addition, Xia Xiaoluo was not stupid. After more than half a year’s study, Xia Xiaoluo succeeded. There was no problem in listening, speaking, reading and writing for her.
“Xiaoluo, I have helped you with your study in the university. The university is near our home. We have passed by it before. Although it’s not the best university in Y Country, it’s also a famous university nearby. I can take good care of you. You have to study hard.” Ouyang Mingyu said.
“I know, uncle, I will. I can study well. I used to think that I was too stupid to study. I didn’t expect that I can create miracles successfully. I believe that I can learn better next.” Xia Xiaoluo was very happy.
“Xiaoluo, I won’t break my words. I have bought a restaurant in the university. I will show you in the afternoon. Let’s discuss the decorations and operation of it.” Ouyang Feng had visited the university for many times a few months ago. He chose the most suitable restaurant for Xia Xiaoluo.
At this time, A Tie sent a package, “Sir, Little Sir Ziqian sent a package to Miss Xiaoluo. He also called to say that it is a gift for Miss Xiaoluo to go to the University.”
“It’s a package again. My cousin has never come back to see Taotao and me. He didn’t come back at the New Year. Now that I passed the language test, he doesn’t come back to celebrate for me either.”
Xia Xiaoluo said and she opened the package.
“Wow, so many gifts!” Xia Xiaoluo was excited and happy.
In the past half a year, Ouyang Ziqian went to many places. Every time he went to a place, he would buy some special things and sent them to Xia Xiaoluo. This time, Ouyang Ziqian went to Africa and the gifts were all special.
“Xiaoluo, you should study hard. Gifts are the rewards. If you study seriously, the rewards will be continued. In addition, I will continue to pursue my master degree in A Country in September. Let’s study together to complete it.” Xia Xiaoluo read a card sent by Ouyang Ziqian.
“My cousin will study for the master degree in A Country. Why doesn’t he come back to study with me?” Xia Xiaoluo muttered.
