Huo Qianli smiled happily and took the initiative to extend his hand, "Hello, Teacher Yu."

They sat down in the teahouse and ordered a cup of tea each. Huo Qianli took out the cigarettes he had just bought from his pocket, smoked one and handed it over, then took the initiative to light it for Yu Datong.

Jiang Qingyue asked, "Teacher Yu, are you here today to do some business?"

Yu Datong nodded, then sighed.

"What's wrong? Are things not going well?" Huo Qianli asked.

Yu Datong looked at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay."

He took a puff of his cigarette and hid his emotions in the smoke.

Huo Qianli could naturally see what was going on. Although Jiang Qingyue was less experienced, she had enough intelligence and emotional intelligence to see something was wrong, so she changed the subject, "Teacher Yu, where have you been these years?"

"I'm working in Guangdong Province! You can hear that my Mandarin has a strong Guangdong accent now!"

I have to say that Yu Datong's Cantonese-Putonghua is quite authentic.

Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "I remember you couldn't speak Mandarin before!"

Yu Datong smiled awkwardly.

After chatting for a while, Yu Datong got up and went to the bathroom. Huo Qianli took the opportunity to ask Jiang Qingyue, "What is the character and teaching of this teacher Yu like?"

Jiang Qingyue thought for a moment, "He's a very good man, no doubt about it. You know our village is poor. He only had that little salary back then, and he often secretly helped students. He didn't save much money over the years, so he kept putting off getting married. I don't understand much about teaching, but I can understand whatever the teacher says."

Huo Qianli hummed and asked in confusion: "Why didn't such a good teacher become a regular teacher?"

Jiang Qingyue shook her head. "I don't know either, but Teacher Yu is a very stubborn person. In the end, he was the only one left in the village primary school. In order to allow the first-grade children to study in the village for one more year, he dragged it out for a year and even had a quarrel with the leaders of the town primary school. I guess it was because of this!"

Huo Qianli rubbed his fingers and whispered something in Jiang Qingyue's ear.

Jiang Qingyue suddenly widened her eyes and looked at him in surprise.

"What are you talking about? Two people are still whispering." Yu Datong sat back in his seat, washed his face, and seemed to relax a little. He took the initiative to smile and teased.

Huo Qianli looked at Yu Datong and said, "Teacher Yu, how do you feel about working outside these years?"

Yu Datong was stunned, as if he didn't expect Huo Qianli to ask such a question, but he still said, "Very good."

"But I think you're not having a good life." Huo Qianli looked into Yu Datong's eyes calmly and said softly.

Yu Datong's expression changed, and Jiang Qingyue quickly said, "Teacher Yu, don't worry, Qianli has no ill intentions."

Yu Datong hesitated for a moment, looked down at his clothes, then looked at the cigarette box on the table that cost seven yuan a pack, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It doesn't matter whether he has malicious intentions or not. What he said is not a lie. Anyone with eyes can see whether he is living a good life or not."

Huo Qianli said: "Do you want to come back?"

"Come back?" Yu Datong was stunned. "What for? Farming in the countryside? Even if working is bad, it's better than farming!"

Huo Qianli looked at him and said seriously: "Come back and be a teacher."

Then, in Yu Datong's shocked eyes, Huo Qianli explained: "Hushan Village may need to rebuild a school. The start of this school will be difficult, and we need a leader who has feelings and responsibilities for Hushan Village. If you are willing, I will think of a way to arrange a formal staffing for you."

Yu Datong was stunned. Looking at Huo Qianli's young face, he hesitated and said, "The director of the Education Bureau is your old man?"

Huo Qianli almost choked, and did not explain, "Just tell me, if it can be solved, are you willing to come!"

Yu Datong turned his head and looked at Jiang Qingyue, "Your boyfriend?"

Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "Teacher, just follow your heart. Anyway, we can wait until he is resolved."

Yu Datong took a deep breath and said excitedly, "Okay! If you can do it well, I will teach you this book!"

"Well, Teacher Yu, do you have anything to do later? If not, can we have dinner together?"

Yu Datong waved his hands quickly, "No need, no need, I'll just take the bus back and eat."

"It's already half past eleven. Will we still have food to eat when we go back?" Huo Qianli smiled. "You are Qingyue's teacher, and we haven't seen each other for so many years. It's only right that I should treat you to a meal!"

After Yu Datong agreed, Huo Qianli said, "Teacher Yu, Qingyue and I still have to go to the Education Bureau to do some small things. Would you like to wait for us here or come with us?"

Yu Datong thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you!"

Regarding the major events in his life, he wanted to see more, at least to see clearly what kind of person Huo Qianli was and what kind of power he had.

Huo Qianli didn't say anything, he stood up and walked to the front desk, "Hello, table number seven will pay the bill."

"Hello, three cups of tea for thirty-five."

Huo Qianli nodded, paid the bill, and then suddenly froze.

Jiang Qingyue handed over the money that she had prepared long ago and looked at Huo Qianli with a smile.

Yu Datong, who wanted to pay first but felt a little distressed, was confused. Is this a gigolo?

Following the two into the Education Bureau, Yu Datong looked puzzled when he saw them walk into the Admissions Office, and then his expression suddenly changed.

In the admissions office, there were two women sitting and chatting, one of whom was the middle-aged woman from the HR department who had clashed with him before.
