76: Chapter 76: Going to School 76: Chapter 76: Going to School To be honest, the opportunity to go to college greatly appeals to Peter, even though he never mentions it.
Spending three years in jail, watching others get accepted to college while he could only look on from behind bars, filled him with an undescribable sense of loss.
Now that he suddenly has a chance to go to college, Peter, despite possessing powerful abilities, is still somewhat overwhelmed.
Richardson has come this time, and he will discuss the details with you,”
Henry is quite satisfied with his accomplishment, believing that he rekindled Peter’s friendship with this action, which is very important.
Peter’s performance this time surprised everyone, including Henry himself.
“Peter, this time the boss came specifically for the road construction,”
Leonard’s father took the opportunity to disclose the purpose of Henry’s visit.
“If everyone lacks funds for the road construction, I can pay for it myself,”
Peter genuinely had this idea and said it casually.
Hearing this, Henry knew that Peter still had grievances, and felt relieved he came; otherwise, their relationship might have been severed.
He pretended to be serious and said: “Peter, it’s our negligence that this place is so impoverished.
Now that I’m here, I deeply feel it.
No matter how difficult it is, this road must be built and should be of high quality.”
Although Peter knew that Priest Wilson and the others were working behind the scenes, he didn’t know the details.
Hearing Henry’s resolute attitude, he understood that the matter had been settled.
Henry looked at Peter and said, “We discussed it with everyone.
This road will not only connect to the county, but also a large passage planned by our province will go through your village and be directly connected to East Sunshine Province.”
It’s going to be a major channel that connects two provinces!
Peter didn’t expect such a huge investment from the province.
It’s not just about spending a little money.
“That’s a lot of money, isn’t it?” Peter asked.
“Peter, actually, our province has been studying the construction of the big passage.
This incident is a wake-up call for us.
We must treat it as a major event.
In addition, our province will study intercity trains.
The next step will be a route passing through your city.
After your road is connected, it will take less than ten minutes from your village to the county, and less than half an hour from the county to the city.
After the intercity train is opened, it will take less than an hour from your city to our province.
Then your connection with the outside world is complete.”
Peter knew that this was probably for the development of the city.
Of course, it was also beneficial for their village.
He nodded and said, “That’s good.
With convenient transportation, our county’s development will speed up.”
It’s only then that Henry changed the subject, “With convenient transportation, it will only take half a day to reach the provincial capital even if you need to transfer several times.
If you drive yourself, it will take just over an hour to reach the provincial capital.
Even if you go to the provincial capital for college, it’s convenient to come back.”
He mentioned going to college again!
Just then, Peter heard the sound of a car outside, and then he saw Dr.
Richardson walking in talking to an official-looking person.
Both of them were busy greeting Edward’s father.
Only then Henry introduced the official-looking person to Peter: “Peter, this is Warner Richards, who oversees education.”
Before Peter could speak, Warner Richards proactively shook Peter’s hand and said, “I’ve heard of you from Dr.
You’re truly talented!
We treat talent exceptionally in our province, and it’s a policy.
Comrade Peter, it’s a pity if you stay here.
I believe that after your systematic studies, you will make a splash in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.”
Peter blushed slightly at these words.
Richardson smiled slightly and said, “Peter, to be honest, I concede defeat with your acupuncture skills.
I showed the video of your surgery to several acupuncture experts, and they were all full of praise.
Their skills couldn’t replicate it.
You have to go to Provincial Traditional Medicine University to study, no matter what.
Rest assured, it will not affect your work.
You can even just enroll as a student.
All you have to do is take the exams.
As long as you pass, you’ll get a certificate.
I believe that with your abilities, you can quickly master the college knowledge and then directly apply for graduate school.”
Richardson and Warner Richards, knowing that all he needed to do now was agree.
He hesitated for a while.
“Peter, you must go to college!”
At this moment, Peter’s mother, Liza, who had heard the news, excitedly spoke up.
Seeing how excited his parents were, Peter remembered the humiliation they endured when he went to jail.
They must have suffered a great deal.
With this thought, Peter looked at Warner Richards and asked, “Will it really not affect my personal business?”
Richardson laughed and said, “Don’t worry, with your abilities, why would you sit there and study boring content?
You only need to take exams freely.”
As an insightful person, Warner Richards understood Dr.
Richardson’s intentions and smiled, “Don’t worry, be free.”
Everyone secretly shook their heads as they listened.
This whole thing looked like everyone was begging Peter to go to college.
Not hesitating anymore, Peter nodded firmly and said, “Alright!”
A smile appeared on Henry’s face, “Peter, it’s not easy for us to come.
How about treating us to something?”
He spoke in such a tone to further improve his relationship with Peter.
Peter understood Henry’s intentions and knew that developing on his own in society would be easier with the support of these high-ranking officials.
He smiled and said, “I’ll make some medicinal hot pot.”
Henry laughed and told everyone, “I’ve heard Peter is great at this.
I can’t wait to try it.”
