On the first day of transferring school, Locke felt the gap between colleges and universities.
On this day, Locke directly upgraded the potential points he had finally accumulated in mathematics and English. After all, if he did not upgrade, it would be great to get a basic reward this time.
but……
You won’t lose money by investing in yourself.
Locke is not the kind of frog in the well. He can feel that in Midtown College, there are probably not a few sudden exams like this, and every exam will become his daily task.
As long as you take the exam twice, you can get back the potential points you spent, and then all other exams in the ninth grade semester will be pure profits.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Locke walked out of the college application counselor's office.
In the Federation, preparations for going to college have actually started from the moment he entered college. However, Locke has not yet decided which university to go to.
"Locke."
"Gwen?"
Locke took out his backpack from the cabinet and was about to leave when he heard a sound and looked at Gwen, who was holding a book in her arms.
I should be taking advanced placement courses, also known as AP courses.
Through AP courses, students can earn college credits in advance, but the school does not impose mandatory requirements and students choose voluntarily.
Locke has just arrived and hasn't thought about it yet, so he hasn't decided yet.
Gwen looked at Locke who took out his backpack and smiled: "Don't you plan to join the club?"
Locke shrugged: "I just came here, let's take a look first and make a decision."
Gwen nodded and invited with a smile: "If you are interested, you can join our chemistry experiment group."
Locke smiled and said: "I need to see it first, you know, after all, this is a new environment, I just moved from Texas, I plan to go see the house this afternoon."
Gwen was slightly startled: "You don't have..." in New York.
"I'm an orphan," Locke said.
Gwen's expression changed slightly: "Oh, sorry, Locke, I'm not..."
Locke smiled: "It's okay, he's pretty good alone."
Reincarnation is a technical job.
Especially the Federation.
Compared with that kind of uncertain family, being an orphan is a constant starting point. You don't have to worry about encountering a bad family or anything else.
"Do you need my help."
"Um?"
Gwen smiled, opened her locker, took out her backpack, looked at Locke and said, "I am an old New Yorker, and helping my classmates is what I, a student assistant, should do. Let's go."
So enthusiastic.
Locke blinked as he looked at Gwen, who flicked her ponytail and the picture was full of such a happy decision.
what's the situation?
Although I am an orphan, I am not poor.
but……
Locke looked at Gwen who turned around to greet him with a sweet smile on her face, opened her mouth, and followed her out.
By the way, little spider, where did you go?
Locke came back to his senses and picked up his backpack, thinking curiously in his heart.
Did I remember it wrongly?
"By the way, what's your budget?"
"What?"
“Budget for renting?”
Gwen walked out of school with Locke and enthusiastically helped her classmates: "The city hall provides certain rental subsidies for students from Midtown College who need to rent, and if there is space in the welfare apartment, there are also great discounts. "
Locke said directly: "Actually, before I came to New York, I was already optimistic about it."
He was able to contact the house before he decided to transfer to New York. He originally planned to come in advance, but was delayed by things, so he only arrived in New York this morning. And because it was the first day of reporting, he couldn't Just skip class.
so……
"Yeah?"
Gwen asked curiously: "Where is it, Oak Apartments?"
Locke shook his head and stopped a taxi: "What is it called... Star Building?"
"What?" Gwen blinked and looked at Locke who helped her open the back seat door, feeling a little confused.
Star Building?
Is it the one on Fifth Avenue?
Fifteen minutes later.
Fifth Avenue.
Locke got out of the car, took out his cell phone, and called the real estate agent he had contacted.
Gwen next to her looked at the legendary Star Building in New York in front of her, blinked her eyes, and then couldn't help but look at Rock who hung up the phone next to her.
Isn't he an orphan?
Gwen was greatly confused.
at this time.
An agent wearing a suit and leather shoes with slicked hair came from not far away. He saw Locke at a glance and trotted over quickly with a smile on his face: "Mr. Broughton."
Locke looked at the intermediary through the video and shook hands: "Hello, Mr. Oren, please excuse me."
The agent named Oren had a smile on his face: "No trouble, let's go up, Mr. Broughton."
Although Locke is a bit young.
but……
Oren has verified his capital and confirmed that Locke is not the kind of boring high school student, but the kind who has the financial strength and even the desire to buy.
If this order is sold, the commission will be huge.
Locke looked at Gwen next to him: "Let's go."
Gwen came to her senses and nodded.
She felt that her understanding of the word "orphan" was slightly off.
Twenty-eighth floor!
"Indoor area, 200 square meters, two floors, duplex structure. The previous owner renovated a complete "Stark Smart Home" system half a year ago. All furniture and appliances are complete. As long as you sign the contract today, you can move in today. , which fully complies with the requirements stated by Mr. Broughton on the phone.”
"..."
Locke put his schoolbag on the high-end sofa aside, opened the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, and walked to the terrace with a private swimming pool.
Opposite is Central Park.
Gwen stood in the living room, looking at the furniture and appliances in the house, and then, once again, felt unscientific as she looked at Locke, who was standing on the terrace with his back to her, looking at the central apartment with his hands behind his back. .
Are all orphans so arrogant these days?
good.
That's it.
Locke looked at the triangular building not far away and said to himself.
He was still a little hesitant at first, but for some reason, after entering the Star Building, this hesitation seemed to disappear.
That's it.
Locke turned around, looked at Oren over there, took out a bank card from his arms, and handed it over: "Swipe the card!"
Oren's eyes lit up.
Gwen, on the other hand, completely opened her mouth.
Really buy it.
There was a ding.
With the consumption voucher spit out by the credit card machine, Gwen was completely confused.
Oren respectfully returned the bank card to Locke: "Okay, Mr. Broughton, I will prepare the change information as soon as possible when I get back. Three days later, the information will be sent to you."
Locke nodded.
This move completely squandered all the savings he had accumulated over the years of hard work in Texas.
