I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 107 Recruitment
"Is everything ready?" Compared to six years ago, Eddie hasn't changed much, except for a few more white hairs at his temples.

Looking at his genius little son, his eyes were full of doting. He thought he would be a towering tree that could protect him from wind and rain. Who knew that he would actually win under the halo of his son and now has become the leader of his own party. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the mayor in the election.

This was something I could never have imagined at the beginning. Who could have thought that this kid could integrate the resources of these upper-class children in school, exchange information, and secretly give me advice. He is so mature that sometimes I really doubt whether he is just a ten-year-old kid. Instead, he looks more like an old monster who has lived for several lifetimes.

"Everything is ready. Besides, if I need anything, I can just go over there and buy it. It's okay. The admissions teacher is very optimistic about me and said that he will give me some preferential treatment, such as a single dormitory, so don't worry about me. But Jessica..." Li Ming paused, showing a somewhat embarrassed look.

Eddie sighed and said, "It would be great if your brothers and sisters were as worry-free as you are. I know this isn't going to be easy, but going to Abilene University is the best way to do it for her. But you have to take better care of your sister in the future."

Li Ming nodded and said, "I know about my father. By the way, today Samuel told me that his father seems to be willing to cooperate. I think we can ask Sister Lisa to come along. That would be safer."

Eddie's face turned serious and he discussed some details seriously with Li Ming. Half a day later, the maid knocked on the study door.

"Sir, I don't want to interrupt your conversation, but I think our little Mr. Stephen might be hungry, and the restaurant has prepared a big meal. I think you will like it, right?"

"Oh, of course, the potato and beef cheese soup you made has always been our favorite, right, Dad?" Li Ming smiled.

Eddie nodded and said, "Let's make it happen. I'll make this happen as soon as possible. This will be a huge benefit to our citizens. They'll thank you."

"No, my father, it's thanks to you, the future mayor." Li Ming said with a smile.

Eddie shook his head. "No one can guarantee anything until the election results come out. Go eat. This is your last dinner at home."

Li Ming nodded. Mrs. Dina, who was sentimental at the dinner table, tried hard to hold back her tears, but her red eyes still betrayed her deeply. Perhaps she had already cried before the father and son came down.

"Father, there is one more thing."

"What's up?" Eddie asked.

"I have a classmate whom I mentioned to you, Elvis. He is a good kid and has a great chance of being recommended this time, but his family, you know, may not have much chance. I thought maybe we could sponsor him." Li Ming took a spoonful of soup.

Mr. Eddy thought for a moment and then said, "It's nothing. I think you need a companion, but there is no free lunch in this world."

"I understand. I will sign an agreement with him. He will become my good helper. Maybe I can create my own world in Jinglun City." Li Ming said with a smile.

"Then my little genius, do you need some insignificant start-up capital? Of course, you can also regard it as your father's investment in you." Eddie asked again.

"No, I think I've saved enough money. Of course, if I need a lot of money later, I think my father will be my angel investor, right?"

"Of course, I'm always on call. By the way, when are you planning to go?"

"After dinner, let old Mr. John take me there. It's in the North District."

"Oh my God, the North District? That's not a good place. Can't we ask old John to bring him here?" Dina exclaimed.

Li Mingze said, "It's okay, Mom. I'm going to college soon, so leave this little thing to me."

In the end, it was Mr. Eddie who made the final decision, and after dinner, Li Ming got into his family’s new car. There was no doubt that the seat was more comfortable.

"Here we are at 37 Orr Street, Master Stephen." Old John's voice was as steady as the car he drove.

Li Ming followed the information he had gathered and found Elvis's family. It was a shanty town, with a small river filled with black, foul-smelling water and a large amount of garbage floating on it. Numerous shanties were piled together in a chaotic manner, with several ramshackle concrete buildings among them.

At this moment, Li Ming had a clearer understanding of Elvis's poor family background and this era.

After knocking on the shaky door, several dirty little guys came over, some even tried to touch the almost new car, which was a rare thing for them.

"Excuse me, is Elvis here? I'm his classmate."

Li Ming's voice was flat.

"coming!"

Following a response, the door creaked open, and what came into view was worn-out furniture and mottled and cracked walls, but fortunately it was still clean.

"Huh? What are you doing here?" It was Elvis who opened the door. He looked at the car parked at the door with a complicated expression.

"Little Al, is he your friend? How about inviting him in for a cup of tea?" A kind voice came from behind Elvis.

Elvis's face flushed a little, but he said, "My classmates and I are going out for a walk, mother. We'll be back soon."

"Okay, don't be too late, be careful." The owner of the voice reminded.

Then Elvis whispered, "I suppose you don't want to go into this old shabby little house."

"Actually, I do." Li Ming smiled, and seeing Elvis's distorted expression, he smiled maliciously, then said, "Let's go out for a walk, Mr. John. Please wait here for me. It won't be long."

"it is good!"

Elvis nodded and walked forward with Li Ming.

The two men walked out of the shack area and slowly walked away along the river bank.

Elvis was a little absent-minded, kicking the stones on the road from time to time, and seemed to be very worried, but after he left, Li Ming could clearly feel that he felt a little more relaxed.

"I need your help with something!"

After walking around, Li Ming looked at the river, the factories and chimneys not far away, and suddenly said.

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Elvis asked in confusion. "I really can't think of how I can help you."

"I want to do some small business in Jinglun. You know the expenses there are very high, but I don't want to rely too much on my parents." Li Ming said.

"Are you kidding? Even if I want to help you and have a letter of recommendation, unfortunately, I don't think I can go to Jinglun. I can't get a full scholarship. Even if tuition and accommodation are free, my family can't afford it. I have sucked their blood dry. I think I can give back to them after I get my diploma. Sorry, I can't help you." Elvis answered calmly.

"Why don't you listen to my conditions first?" Li Ming said after listening.
