Chapter 44 application approved
A small meeting within Lincoln High School is beginning.
The principal, Nestor Mendes, sat behind the rostrum in the conference room with a serious expression, and the school's provost, Mrs. Martha Wharton, and vice-principal Luis McDyess sat on both sides of him. .
"Tommy Hawk, Dennis Herbers, Pam Marvel." Mr. Mendes looked at the three high school students who were sitting on their knees like cute babies at the moment: "If you are ready , then this school’s inquiry about your launch of the Caribbean-U.S. Youth Student Leaders Summer Summit is about to begin.”
Tommy Hawke looked at the two buddies around him, and Dennis responded with a wink to Tommy. As for Pam, this guy turned his head to 90 degrees, ignored the principal's words at all, and focused on admiring the special change today. Otilia Farrell, who stood beside them smiling encouragingly, was wearing a black formal suit and stockings with high heels.
"Yes, Mr. Principal." Tommy said.
"This event, called CSLS for short, said in your application report that it will be held in two places, one is Lincoln High School in Warwick, which is our school, and the other I saw that you chose the Caribbean country Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Thomas Saunders Secondary School in Kingston, the capital of Sri Lanka, boy, frankly, this is the first time I’ve heard of this country, you need to explain to the school why it’s there.”
"If this kind of summit is held every year, the venue will of course be adjusted, but this time it is tentatively scheduled to be in the middle school of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and it may be changed to Bahamas next year. First, we conducted a detailed investigation of the country, And will soon prepare to set off for an investigation..."
"Because there are only three elementary schools in that country, one middle school, and no university. Let's put it this way, Mr. Principal, even if a poor student like me with a D grade goes there, they will be looked up to by them as a mathematician, and the rent is cheap. The venue fee for the entire middle school only needs to be paid fifty yuan a day." Seeing his friend preparing for a long speech, Dennis directly interrupted Tommy's words and told the real reason.
Tommy lowered his head in despair: "Dennis, we agreed, Sorry, Mr. Principal, Mrs. Wharton, Mr. McDyess, in addition to the reasons Dennis said, I can add a few more tactful things..."
"That is to say, can we intuitively see the difference between American public education and public education in other countries, and make children clearly aware of the excellence of American public education?" Provost Martha Wharton said blankly at this time asked.
Tommy Hawk was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Of course, there is no doubt that we plan to hold math competitions, baseball competitions, music and painting art exchanges and other activities with high school students in the country, basically ensuring that American students can Get satisfactory results in the competition.”
"It said that you will not only take the young student leaders from the United States to St. Vincent and the Grenadines for inspection, exchange and compete with the young students from the country, and then invite some students from the country to Warwick, Lincoln, USA. high school exchange."
"Yes, although most of the people in this country live by planting bananas and their income is low, there are still some rich people who are much worse than the rich people in the United States, but they are already considered rich in this country. I would like to pass this The summit attracts the children of the rich and let them bring money to the United States to study in high school, and of course there will be a fee for this kind of invitation.” Now that his bad friend Dennis has torn off his mask, Tommy gave up his cover-up and said .
"The best choice is Lincoln High School where they have visited and communicated? That is to say, Lincoln High School is likely to have international students enrolled in the future?" Principal Mendes nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, and then the school you hope for Take part of the funds to support your publicity plan...Tommy, we are very satisfied with your summer summit plan, but the school cannot provide you with much financial support, although you also stated on it that if you make a profit, you will donate part of the proceeds to the school."
Hearing that the school only wants to share money and refuses to invest, Tommy Hawke lowered his head and said extremely disrespectful words in a polite tone: "Mr. Principal, with all due respect, if the school doesn't support our ideas, why should we To initiate this summit at Lincoln High School, we can change the school to be affiliated with this organization, I can replace Pam and Dennis with another high school sponsor, or we can simply register a company by ourselves and then go to the high school to discuss cooperation. "
"Pay attention to your tone, Tommy Hawke." Dean Mrs. Wharton reminded.
"It's okay, Mrs. Wharton." Principal Mendes smiled at Mrs. Wharton, and then looked at Tommy Hawke: "The school can open up seven days of use to your summit during the summer vacation, all clubs, meeting rooms, stadiums , classrooms, school buses, etc., the administrative department can also provide the help you need. We hope to show the best of Lincoln High School to high school students from other countries and other parts of the United States, but in terms of funds, you have to understand that this school does not have too much More funds, at most one thousand yuan will be allocated to your activities in the early stage to show support, what do you think?"
"Thank you, Mr. Principal, although..." Tommy Hawke said with a grateful expression when he heard a thousand dollars.
Dennis spoke next to him: "We guessed that the school might only be willing to pay 500 yuan, Mr. Principal."
"If you still want to become the co-sponsor of CSLS and appear as an American youth student leader, you'd better shut up! Dennis!" Tommy said to Dennis frantically.
The principal laughed: "It seems that I have doubled your psychological expectations. Mrs. Wharton, Mr. McDyess, what do you think?"
"I agree."
"I agree too, Mr. Principal."
"Congratulations, children, you initiated and established...the application for the Caribbean and American Youth Student Leaders Summer Summit Club has been officially approved, so do what you like to do, and remember to notify the school in advance when it officially opens." Principal Picking up the seal, he printed it vigorously on the application form: "One thousand dollars will be delivered in the form of a check to your instructor for this event, Miss Otilia Farrell."
Then the principal and the provost got up and left the meeting room, and Otilia also followed the principal and the three to leave, because the principal and the others wanted to tell Otilia some precautions.
There were only three Tommys left in the conference room, and Dennis scratched his hair with both hands: "You really have Tommy, you can earn a thousand dollars from the school just by making an application."
"If you don't talk nonsense, maybe I can get more." Tommy Hawke exhaled.
Dennis patted Tommy on the shoulder: "Anyway, I think it is necessary to celebrate. A thousand dollars is enough for the three of us to go to the Paradise Club to see the puke."
"I agree too." Pam said from the side.
"You'd better ask yourself now as a teenage student leader, Dennis, and go to the Paradise Club with the school's check?" Tommy Hawke looked at the two speechlessly.
Dennis replied with a natural expression: "I even use the image of the President of the United States to strictly demand myself. You have to know, Tommy, President Kennedy often went to stripteases with his brother in high school, so he became an American president. President, his brother became a presidential candidate."
