"Sister Luo, do you have the contact information of Mr. Shen?"

Zhou Ruolin asked.

"Yes, I have."

"Ruolin, you're not going to interview him, are you?"

Luo Meimei reacted quickly and immediately saw through Zhou Ruolin's intention.

"Let's talk first."

“I think it’s a good topic.”

As a journalist, Zhou Ruolin has the necessary news sense. She thinks this subject is good, but whether it is suitable to be broadcast in the news or not, she still needs to talk to the parties involved first to see if there is more to dig up.

In addition, after the topic is selected, it also depends on the leader’s opinion.

If her boss thinks it's inappropriate, there's nothing she can do.

"Sister Luo, can you give me his contact information?"

"I have to say hello to him. If Brother Shen doesn't plan to accept the interview, he will blame me."

Luo Meimei said as she sent a message to Shen Qiushan.

"Sister Luo, your daughter is in Sanjiang Senior High School, right?"

Zhou Ruolin asked again.

"Um."

Luo Meimei nodded: "My daughter is in Class 2, and she is good friends with Brother Shen's daughter!"

"Which class is Mr. Shen in?"

"Class Five."

Luo Meimei smiled and said, "He is in the same class as his son. Brother Shen went to accompany him mainly to look after his son!"

"What happened to his son?"

"Your academic performance is poor?"

Zhou Ruolin was already making plans for the following interview and wanted to first understand Shen Qiushan's situation from the side.

"Well"

Luo Meimei frowned, regretting a little that she had said that.

But she couldn't tell anyone about the two children's love affair, so she nodded and said, "Brother Shen's son's academic performance is not very good."

As the two were talking, Luo Meimei's phone rang. It was Shen Qiushan who replied, saying that he did not want to be interviewed by reporters.

"Ruolin, Brother Shen doesn't really want to be interviewed."

"See for yourself."

Luo Meimei showed the reply she received to Zhou Ruolin.

"fine."

"Then I'll go find him directly. Class 3-5 of Sanjiang Senior High School, right?"

"right!"

"Sister Luo, I'll be leaving first."

As a reporter for a lifestyle channel, Zhou Ruolin has a very wide network of contacts, so it is not difficult for her to contact the school leaders of Sanjiang High School.

After leaving the medical beauty center, she contacted Wang Guangqing, the principal of Sanjiang High School through her connections.

When Wang Guangqing heard that there was a reporter wanting to interview him, and that the reporter was from the Life Channel of Sanjiang TV Station, he was naturally very happy.

He was just a high school principal and rarely had the opportunity to appear on TV, so he immediately agreed to Zhou Ruolin's interview invitation.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhou Ruolin came to Sanjiang High School with a cameraman.

She had already reported Shen Qiushan's situation to her leader, who thought the news topic was a good one and asked her to do an interview to see the effect.

Wang Guangqing warmly received Zhou Ruolin in his office.

After a few pleasantries, Zhou Ruolin got straight to the point: "Principal Wang, I heard that there is an older student on loan in our senior year. He achieved excellent results in the mock exam, even surpassing half of the students."

"I want to meet him and talk to him. Is that convenient for you?"

Hearing this, Wang Guangqing immediately realized that they were coming for Shen Qiushan.

However, Wang Guangqing was a little hesitant. He was not sure what impact this incident would have on the school after it was exposed.

If it is a positive impact, it would be fine. But if it is a negative impact, he as the principal might be criticized by his superiors.

"Principal Wang, this is it."

"I am doing a special program to explore educational diversity, and Sanjiang High School has made a bold attempt in this regard."

"You are a very courageous principal. You dare to be the first and break the rules. I will need you to talk about the ideas behind this experiment and the teaching philosophy of Sanjiang Senior High School."

Zhou Ruolin has come into contact with too many leaders like Wang Guangqing and knows what they want.

Although her main target of this interview was Shen Qiushan, the principal Wang Guangqing also had to show up and give him a chance to show off his political achievements.

And Zhou Ruolin had already thought it out for him.

Diversify education, break the routine, try new models...

These words can be attributed to Wang Guangqing, the "decisive" principal.

Wang Guangqing tapped his fingers rhythmically on the desk, still silently weighing the pros and cons.

Zhou Ruolin's words reminded him of the "three transformations" mentioned by the leader in his speech when he attended a meeting in the city on Monday.

Education is diversified, flexible and personalized.

But this so-called educational reform has actually been called for for many years, but it has only been a lot of noise with little results.

As long as there is no disruptive change in the college entrance examination system, the current education model will not really change.

But slogans still need to be shouted and face-saving projects need to be done.

Under this premise, Wang Guangqing felt that the matter of Shen Qiushan was indeed worth discussing.

Besides, Shen Qiushan did achieve good results in this exam.

And in the last English vocabulary competition, Shen Qiushan also played the role of a big catfish.

"Okay, I'll have someone call him over."

Wang Guangqing immediately called Xu Decai and briefly explained the matter.

After he hangs up the phone.

Zhou Ruolin said with a smile: "Principal Wang, let me do a simple interview with you first."

"good!"

Wang Guangqing subconsciously adjusted the collar of his shirt and tidied his hair at the temples with his hands.

"Principal Wang, let's get started."

Zhou Ruolin winked at the cameraman, and then began to interview Wang Guangqing with ease.

The other side.

Class 3-5 of Senior High School is having a math class.

Sun Xing sat behind the desk, spitting heavily as he explained the test paper.

The two students in the first row under the desk held up their papers with a look of despair on their faces, trying to resist Sun Xing's physical attack.

Shen Qiushan lowered his head and brushed the history book, reviewing at his own pace.

At this time, Xu Decai knocked on the classroom door.

Sun Xing stopped immediately.

The students who had been holding up the test papers with great effort were finally able to put them down. They rubbed their sore arms and looked towards the classroom door.

"Director Xu, what's the matter?"

Sun Xing was originally sitting on a chair, but when he saw Xu Decai coming, he quickly stood up.

"I'm looking for Xiao Shen."

Xu Decai glanced around the classroom and then landed on Shen Qiushan who was sitting in the last row.

Shen Qiushan, who was concentrating on brushing the history book, was passively pulled out of the study mode and followed Xu Decai to the corridor.

"Xiao Shen, a reporter wants to interview you."

"Principal Wang asked you to come over."

Xu Decai directly stated his purpose.

"You actually found the school?"

Shen Qiushan didn't expect the other party to be so persistent. If nothing unexpected happened, this must be the reporter who wanted to contact him through Luo Meimei.

The reason why Shen Qiushan refused the interview was simply because he didn't want to waste time.

Besides, I haven’t achieved any results at the moment, so there is nothing much to say in the interview.

It would be better to wait until you get into Sanjiang University after the college entrance examination. Then, if you accept an interview at that time, you can brag about it.

But now that the reporters were here and Wang Guangqing had come forward, he couldn't refuse.

I followed Xu Decai to the principal's office.

At this moment, Zhou Ruolin's interview with Wang Guangqing had just ended.

"Xiao Shen, this is reporter Zhou."

When Shen Qiushan walked into the office, Wang Guangqing immediately pointed at Zhou Ruolin and introduced her.

"Hello Mr. Shen, sorry to bother you."

"I'm Zhou Ruolin, a reporter from Sanjiang TV's Lifestyle Channel. This is my business card."

Zhou Ruolin greeted politely and handed over her business card with both hands, which was quite polite.

"Hello, Shen Qiushan."

After taking the business card, Shen Qiushan also gave his name.

"Mr. Shen, I'm here to do a special interview on educational diversity. Would it be convenient for you to chat for a few minutes?"

"Reporter Zhou, please feel free to ask whatever you want."

Shen Qiushan shrugged lightly, but silently complained in his heart: It’s inconvenient, you are here too!

If he was young, Shen Qiushan would definitely say back what was in his heart.

But at his age, he wouldn't do such a thing.

Principal Wang Guangqing obviously attached great importance to this interview, and the director of studies Xu Decai kept saying good things on the way here.

If he didn't cooperate, he would offend both Wang Guangqing and Xu Decai at once.

Although it doesn't matter if I offend them, there is no need to do so for such a trivial matter.

Besides, since he was being targeted by reporters, even if he didn't accept the interview, the matter would be exposed. It would be better for him to speak out and brag about it himself. At least he could get on TV.

After living for 38 years, Shen Qiushan has never appeared on TV!

"Mr. Shen, then you can sit here. The light is better here."

Zhou Ruolin pointed to the single sofa by the window in the reception area.

Shen Qiushan nodded and sat down cooperatively.

Then the interview officially began.

Zhou Ruolin: Mr. Shen, how old are you this year?

Shen Qiushan: 38 years old.

Zhou Ruolin: Why did you make the decision to return to high school at this age?

Shen Qiushan: Because I want to go to university!

Zhou Ruolin was stunned. This was inconsistent with the information she had previously obtained.

Luo Meimei said that he was just there to accompany the children and to supervise their studies.

Just now Wang Guangqing didn't mention that he was going to take the college entrance examination.

Zhou Ruolin: Take the college entrance examination? You mean you will take the college entrance examination, and if you are admitted by a university, you will go to study there, right?

Shen Qiushan nodded: Yes.

Zhou Ruolin: Why do I want to go to college at this age?

Shen Qiushan: It can be considered as making up for the regret of not having gone to university!

Zhou Ruolin: What are your goals? Which university do you want to attend?

Shen Qiushan: Sanjiang University!

Zhou Ruolin was shocked: "Sanjiang University? Are you sure it's Sanjiang University? It's the number one university in our province and the top ten in the country!"

In fact, not only Zhou Ruolin was surprised at this moment, but Wang Guangqing and Xu Decai on the side were also shocked.

Sanjiang University is one of the top 985 universities in China, and several majors in the school are among the best in the country!

However, Shen Qiushan actually wanted to apply to Sanjiang University and said this during an interview with reporters.

All of a sudden, both Wang Guangqing and Xu Decai were at a loss!

The two looked at each other, both confused.

At this time, Shen Qiushan asked with a smile: "Reporter Zhou, do you know who my favorite historical figure is?"

Zhou Ruolin subconsciously asked back: "Who?"

Shen Qiushan still had a smile on his face: "Emperor Wu of Wei, Cao Cao."

Zhou Ruolin raised her eyebrows and silently complained in her heart: Everyone knows that Prime Minister Cao likes women!

This has become an important label for him, so whenever a man says that his idol is Cao Cao, it always makes people feel that it is not very serious.

Just as Zhou Ruolin was thinking about how to continue this topic, Shen Qiushan continued: An old horse in the stable still has a thousand miles to go; a martyr in his twilight years still has great ambitions!

Prime Minister Cao was 53 years old when he wrote "The Turtle's Longevity", but he still had such ambition.

And I'm only 38!

It’s not too much to get into Sanjiang University, right?
