Zhou Yuanchao didn't forget to flatter Huo Yingjie.

"It's all thanks to the hard work of my colleagues," Huo Yingjie said modestly, without any arrogance.

"Let's not talk about whose credit it is, but this is what our institute is all about now." Zhou Yuanchao gave a thumbs up. "Everyone is waiting to hold their heads high. Let's do a good job and let everyone feel the care of our institute. Let's work harder in the future and be proud of the institute."

It sounded reasonable, so Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Alright, let the logistics department handle this. If you're going to do it, then do it well."

"Yes, don't worry, we'll definitely arrange everything perfectly," Zhou Yuanchao said. He wanted to remind his boss that he didn't pay much attention to these things and couldn't just focus on research without considering the feelings of his subordinates.

This matter was left to Zhou Yuanchao, and Huo Yingjie didn't take it to heart; he just needed to attend the meeting.

For Huo Yingjie, working hours are very precious. He works every minute so that he won't have to work overtime after get off work.

Zhou Yuanchao was also quite resourceful; he actually found Qi Zhengmin and asked her to sing a few songs that day.

Qi Zhengmin checked the time; he was free that day, so he agreed.

Meanwhile, He Tiantian woke up at home at ten o'clock. After washing up and tidying up the house, it was lunchtime.

Huo Yingjie took the afternoon off because he had to attend his child's parent-teacher meeting.

"Why are you back?" He Tiantian asked in surprise, and served Huo Yingjie some rice.

"It's a parent-teacher conference," Huo Yingjie said. "If you're free this afternoon, come with me."

"Okay." He Tiantian nodded. Whenever she had time, she would try to spend time with her child. "By the way, how's the child doing lately?"

“Ruihua and Ruimin are in the same class, and they’re older now, so there’s nothing to worry about. It’s just that Xiaosanzi also has a parent-teacher conference today, but he told me yesterday that the teacher wasn’t holding one. I asked the teacher, and she said she would,” Huo Yingjie said calmly, not thinking that his son lying was a big deal.

Kids, who hasn't lied before?

Just find out why he lied and guide him accordingly.

He Tiantian frowned and said, "Why is Xiao Sanzi lying? Did he get into a fight? Or did he have bad grades?"

“It’s probably both,” Huo Yingjie nodded. “But even if it was a fight, it shouldn’t be a big deal, otherwise the teacher would have called the parents already.”

He Tiantian said helplessly, "If it's really a fight, then our Xiao Sanzi should do something about it."

"Let's go and see what's going on first," Huo Yingjie said, not directly denying his son's decision. He needed to understand the whole situation before making a judgment.

“Okay, we’re going to the parent-teacher conference today,” He Tiantian said. “I’ll go to Xiao San’s parent-teacher conference, and you go to Ruihua and Ruimin’s side.”

Seeing that He Tiantian was a little excited, Huo Yingjie said, "I'll go to Xiao Sanzi's parent-teacher meeting instead. He usually practices martial arts with me, and he's a boy, so it's more appropriate for me to go."

“Okay.” He Tiantian nodded. “Xiao Sanzi will act spoiled in front of me and listens to you more.”

The couple dressed carefully and went to the parent-teacher meeting with solemnity.

Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin were very happy to see their mother.

"Mom, it's so good to see you here," Huo Ruimin said. It was better that Dad didn't come, so those aunties wouldn't keep talking to him and staring at him, which always made Dad feel awkward.

Dad belongs to Mom.

The parents around were also excited to see He Tiantian, and they chatted and laughed with her without any hesitation.

They also asked He Tiantian for an autographed photo, which He Tiantian readily agreed to, saying that she would take the child to school next Monday and let the child bring it to school.

Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin are sociable in class, have many friends, and have excellent grades, which are always praised by the teacher.

He Tiantian was very happy, smiling from ear to ear, and temporarily forgot about the problem of her youngest son.

When Huo Yingjie arrived at the door of his youngest son's classroom, he heard his son talking to the teacher.

"Huo Ruifeng, didn't your parents come?" Teacher Hua asked in a gentle tone.

Huo Ruifeng feigned a pitiful expression and said, "Teacher, my parents are very busy, they can't come..."

That brat, he's lying to both sides.

"How about this, after get off work today, I'll go home with you and we'll do a home visit," Teacher Hua said softly. Some parents are very busy, and there's nothing that can be done about that. She can only take time after get off work to visit the students' homes and talk to the parents about the children's recent situation.

Huo Ruifeng is a very smart kid, but he's too mischievous.

Playing soccer is one thing, but he even likes to kick it towards the classroom window.

Fortunately, there was no one in the classroom. If there had been students, they could have been injured if the broken glass had hit them.

Home visit?

If the teacher goes to the house, wouldn't the secret be exposed?

Not only did he break windows at school, but he also lied.

Huo Ruifeng was sweating. "Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have made the bet."

So what if you hit the glass? So what if you won?

He had to pay five yuan for the broken glass, and the teacher was going to tell his parents about it.

"My parents are away on a business trip," Huo Ruifeng said, making an excuse so that the teacher wouldn't be able to visit his home and see his parents.

Upon hearing this, Teacher Hua was certain that Huo Ruifeng was lying.

"Are you worried that the teacher will tell you that you kicked and broke the school window?" Teacher Hua squatted down and asked softly.

Huo Ruifeng blushed slightly. Seeing that the teacher had guessed correctly, he nodded and said, "Yes, teacher, I will never kick and break glass again. Please don't tell my parents, okay?"

He's already naughty enough in his parents' eyes; if the teacher complains again, they'll probably beat him.

"So you were lying when you said your parents were too busy to come to the parent-teacher conference?" Teacher Hua asked, speaking calmly and patiently to Huo Ruifeng, without getting angry.

"Yes, I said our class wouldn't have a parent-teacher conference, but they went to my older sister's and brother's." Huo Ruifeng's voice was very soft. "Teacher, I know I was wrong..."

Teacher Hua nodded and said, "Teacher believes what Ruifeng said. Ruifeng, don't worry, teacher won't tell your parents, but you also have to promise teacher that it's okay to play during recess, but don't do anything dangerous. Think about it, if the students in that class don't go to PE class, those glass shards will get into their eyes and they won't be able to see anything, they'll become blind, and that will hurt others."

There were people inside, so he wouldn't dare kick the ball towards the window.

But the teacher is right. We can't do such stupid things again. If you want to play soccer, you can go to the playground!

"Yes, Teacher Hua, I understand." Huo Ruifeng nodded, very grateful to his teacher.

Huo Yingjie originally wanted to go in, but worried that his youngest son already knew he had made a mistake, so he turned around and left to save face for his son.

The other parents were puzzled. Why did they come and then go back?
