Chapter 884 Working Together

With the martial law in Hell's Kitchen, this place that has always been full of demons has become quiet.

Early in the morning, Robert hung a big sign at the door of his supermarket, and a big scorer with the word 28 hanging on it.

Below the countdown counter is a table with a large number of admission brochures, which Robert collected through some old friends and then bound them into volumes for parents who knew nothing about college.

"Ghostface" John was always the first one to come here every day and helped Robert sort out the "newsstand" at the door. John picked up a copy of the American University admissions brochure that was obviously specially made and read it.

Robert took two cups of coffee, handed one to John, and said with a smile: "How is it? Are there any questions?

You were also a graduate of a prestigious school. Is this admissions encyclopedia useful to those children and parents? "

John put down the "Admissions Encyclopedia" in his hand, took the coffee handed over by Robert with both hands, instinctively licked the corners of his terrible mouth, then held the coffee in one hand and flipped through the "Admissions Encyclopedia" placed on the table with the other.

After a few minutes, John looked at Robert in admiration and said, "Where did this thing come from? If it could be updated in real time, this book should be better-selling than the Bible every May.

Enrollment number, major options, score requirements, scholarship system, tuition fees, tutor selection, interview panel composition and hobbies...

What is this for? College application strategy?

There are even suggestions on how to dress for interviews at various schools. Oh my god, this thing can sell for $1,000 a copy in every high school. "

Robert smiled and showed his eight teeth. He touched John with the coffee cup in his hand and said with a smile: "The CIA has been very busy recently. As a retired employee with meritorious service, I would like to ask them to do something for me." It wasn't hard, and they owed me a favor.

Instead of letting the "back-office staff" sitting in the office spend their days in panic, why not let them do something for me.

Are you sure this is useful? I went to the army directly after graduating from high school, and I was very confused by the strange rules of those universities. "

John glanced at Robert, who was slightly proud of himself, hugged him with a scary smile, and said: "Let me show my respect to you, and I'll treat you to a drink at the Peace Hotel tonight.

This thing is a treasure for those children who are about to graduate. It can save those children a lot of detours.

Many people only know about the Ivy League schools. If their grades are not good enough, many people's choice is to go to the school their parents went to.

This is actually very bad, as it will prevent many people from finding a school that is truly suitable for them. "

As he spoke, John raised the "Enrollment Encyclopedia" in his hand, shook it, and said with a smile: "If the content here is true and reliable, the U.S. Department of Education should give you a medal."

Robert smiled and shook his head and said: "These cannot be leaked out, many of the contents involve other people's privacy, and those are illegal.

However, there is no doubt about its reliability, and the CIA’s professional capabilities can still be trusted.

I only have 100 copies here, and I am waiting for the parents of the 72 children. The rest will be sent to community schools for storage. "

John was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said: "You have done a great thing, Principal Alvin must be very happy.

With them, the workload of the school will be reduced a lot. I heard that old Parker has been very busy recently..."

…………

Alvin sat in his office and looked at the sofa opposite. Old Parker drank a cup of exquisite hand-ground coffee as instant coffee.

After waving an unhappy Olivia to leave the office, Alvin smiled and said to old Parker: "Old man, what's wrong with you?

Next time remember to be respectful of Olivia's coffee, otherwise you won't be able to drink such good coffee in the future. "

Old Parker drank the last bit of coffee in the cup, frowned and put down the coffee cup, saying, "Actually, I can just drink the instant version."

As he spoke, Old Parker looked at Alvin and said seriously: "The children have been very impetuous recently and they need some professional guidance.

Many parents of children here don’t know how to choose a college, and they asked me to help them choose.

But how could I possibly accomplish such a thing? This is a major event that affects a child's life.

There are also several children whose parents don’t want them to go to college, and I still need to do their work.

Principal Alvin, I am really overwhelmed, I need some help..."

Alvin looked at the responsible old Parker in a funny way, and said with a smile: "How about Frank? He is also a college graduate, so he should be able to help.

And Frank can easily convince parents who don't want their children to continue studying. "

Old Parker smiled and shook his head and said: "Frank never negotiates with others. We can only serve as guides with these things and cannot recklessly decide the lives of those children.

You once said that you should give them a chance to choose. It was Lao Cage who helped last year.

The problem is here again this year..."

Alvin was stunned for a moment. He really didn't think much about these things. In the past, he simply thought that getting appropriate scores and letting those children go to college would be enough to complete the task. But now it seems that is not the case.

Those parents living at the bottom are really not qualified to make this crucial choice. Their vision has limited their ideas, and now only school teachers can help.

It’s just that teachers in community schools are also very busy at this stage, so the pressure falls on the old Parker.

What he did for Zach last year earned everyone's trust while also increasing his workload.

Old Cage and Professor Wilson can help the few top students decide where to go, but most ordinary children need old Parker's help.

From this perspective, being trusted is sometimes really a kind of pressure.

Old Parker seems to be out of breath now.

Alvin looked at the frowning old Parker, thought for a while and said: "How about we find foreign aid.

How about that Jordan Beckford? It is said that he has done well in our food truck business recently, so he must be available.

Ethan Hunter can do it too. His girlfriend also graduated from a prestigious university. I called them to help.

Well, 'Ghostface' John is also good. He graduated from New York University's Department of Finance and has experienced ups and downs. He is also a good candidate. "

As he spoke, Alvin clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Hold a 'college entrance examination consultation meeting' and let the children choose some suitable schools. This is also a choice.

Otherwise, what the hell do they know about so many colleges and universities across the United States? At least half of the students' parents here are illegal immigrants or illiterate.

Ignore the families who don't want their children to go to school and let Frank talk about it.

Damn it, am I running this school just to provide food and housing for people to graduate from high school? "

…………

After noon, Robert sat at the door of the supermarket, looking at the almost untouched "Enrollment Encyclopedia".

Kenny walked out of the supermarket holding a huge lunch box and sat on the steps next to Robert.

Kenny, who looked like a huge bear, was sitting on the ground and was taller than Robert who was sitting on the pony.

Looking at Robert who was not in a good mood, Kenny smiled honestly, took a big mouthful of his lunch box, and then said, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Robert glanced at the honest Kenny, patted him on the shoulder, and said helplessly: "Why are they not interested in these things?

Don’t they care about their children’s future? "

Kenny looked at the frowning Robert and suddenly said with a smile: "Boss, most of those people can't even read, what do they need these things for?

But if the boss thinks it is really useful, I will deliver it door to door in the afternoon. No one can refuse the boss's kindness. "

Robert looked at the silly Kenny with a gangster look on his face, and slapped him on the head in a funny way, and then said with a smile: "I probably understand, you accompany me to school in the afternoon, and I'll These things are delivered to the children themselves.

Also, stop fooling around with that hot chip seller Gonzalez in the future. Look at the way you talk now, are gangsters interesting? "

Kenny smiled honestly and finished the food in the lunch box, then returned to the cashier and put a few dollars there. Then he took two cans of drinks and walked out and handed them to Robert and said: "Boss, Gang Sares is a good guy, he even gave me a pickup truck, and I will drive you to school in my new car in the afternoon, and I have a date by the way."

Robert glanced at a dilapidated pickup truck parked on the side of the road that must have been dug out of a garbage dump. He patted Kenny on the shoulder in a funny way and said, "What about Olivia's niece? I I heard she likes you very much!"

Kenny smiled proudly, completely losing his stupid look like in the past. He said furtively, "I still want to pick a fight. Gonzalez said that I am a middle-class person from Hell's Kitchen, so maybe I can." Find someone with a bigger butt, hehe..."
