Principal Shen took the initiative to ask, and Chen Xia kicked Chen Dong on the butt:
"You're so rude! This is Principal Shen from the best middle school in Yuezhou. Why don't you greet him quickly?"
Chen Dong once again showed his smile that was uglier than crying: "Hello, Principal Shen."
During the enrollment season, a parent brought a junior high school student to see the principal. How could an old fox like Shen Cong'an not know the reason?
It’s just that I couldn’t get into No. 1 Middle School, so I wanted to use a back door.
Chen Xia didn't like beating around the bush and said directly:
"Principal Shen, it's like this. My younger brother is really not doing well. His results in the high school entrance exam this time were not very ideal. Our family members really want him to go to the best middle school in Yuezhou, so... ahem..."
Shen Cong'an smiled and said, "Let me see the transcript first."
Chen Xia was stunned for a moment and scratched his head awkwardly, but still took out the report card from his bag hesitantly. At this time, Chen Dong turned his face towards the corner of the door again.
Shen Cong'an got the report card, looked at it for a long time, and said nothing. His constipated expression revealed his mood.
"Dean Chen, these results... the little guy isn't working hard enough..."
Before these words were spoken, Chen Qiu and Gu Lin could no longer hold back and turned their heads away, their shoulders twitching as they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Chen Dong was really going crazy: "Sister-in-law, Third Brother, you are going too far~~~~~"
What could Chen Xia say? If he got into No. 1 Middle School with these grades, he'd definitely be a disgrace to the school, firmly in last place.
But even if you don't go to No. 1 Middle School, you will still be at the bottom if you go to No. 2 Middle School or No. 3 Middle School. Since you will always be at the bottom, you might as well find the best and most prestigious school to be at the bottom. It will sound good when you say it out loud and it will scare people.
"I am from No. 1 Middle School"
"Principal Shen, please don't be anxious. I know my younger brother well. It's too high for him to get into No. 1 Middle School with his grades, but don't worry. After the college entrance examination in three years, he will definitely not drag your school down.
I will definitely find a way to send him to college then. I'm not bragging, he can choose any university in Zhijiang Province, and as long as he wants, studying abroad is not a problem.
The child is too young. If he doesn't finish high school, he won't be able to go to college. Given the current situation, he won't even have a college diploma. How will he survive in society? There's nothing we can do about it..."
Shen Cong'an finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why a famous school is called a famous school is because of the university's admission rate. The high school with more students admitted to universities is a famous school. It's that simple.
If Chen Dong's grades are so poor that he's definitely not going to get into university, what's the point of recruiting him? Wouldn't that just lower the admission rate for No. 1 High School?
Now that I hear that his parents have the ability to get him into college, the rest of the things are much simpler, at least he has no worries.
Shen Cong'an is not aloof from the mundane world. As the powerful vice president of the People's Hospital and the young master of the Four Seasons Group, he is still very influential in Yuezhou, and he also wants to make friends with him.
"Alright, since Dean Chen has made such a promise, let Chen Dong come to No. 1 Middle School."
When Chen Xia heard this, he was surprised. Only Gu Lin and Chen Qiu looked at Chen Laosi with contempt.
(Wait, Gu Lin, what qualifications do you have to look down on Chen Laosi?)
"However, since he is planning to come to No. 1 Middle School, he still needs to focus on his grades. If he always ranks last in the exams, it will also be detrimental to his mental health."
Chen Xia deeply agrees with this.
"Principal Shen is right, so I have another unsolicited request. I would like to ask if the best teachers in each subject at No. 1 Middle School can help with make-up classes, starting this summer. At the same time, it can also reassure the teachers. I will give them 10 yuan per hour for the tutoring, and I will definitely not let their efforts go to waste."
Shen Congwen was just drinking water, and then he spit it out: "How much? 10 yuan per hour?"
In 1988, there might be supplementary tutoring in big cities, but it was definitely not the case in Yuezhou. Even if there was, it was usually provided free of charge to the children of the teachers’ relatives and friends.
Now Chen Xia said the tutoring fee is 10 yuan per hour, this is definitely the first time.
Tutoring is not something that can be done in just one hour. For example, during the summer vacation, there is Chinese in the morning and math in the afternoon. Each teacher has to teach for at least three hours. Does that mean that you can earn 30 yuan in half a day?
At the end of that month, you can easily earn several hundred yuan, not to mention the after-school tutoring in the future.
Don't forget that teachers nowadays earn really low wages. Workers at the Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Factory earn 180 yuan a month, while teachers only earn 120 yuan a month.
No wonder Principal Shen was so excited, this was a sky-high tuition fee.
If you hire the best teacher in No. 1 Middle School and give tutoring for three consecutive years, even a pig can get into university.
"Okay, okay, Dean Chen, don't worry. I will definitely organize the strongest teaching staff in our No. 1 Middle School and make sure that student Chen Dong can get into university based on his true academic performance."
Chen Xia smiled when he heard this. This was really a blessing of the times. If he had told the principal in 2020 that he wanted to hire a tutor, he would have scolded the hell out of him.
In this era, the principal did not object to it, but instead saw it as a good way to give teachers extra subsidies for their family expenses. This is really unheard of.
But after hearing this, Chen Dong was so angry that he wanted to jump off the building. It was bad enough that he was sent to No. 1 Middle School, a devilish school, but now he couldn't even have a peaceful summer vacation?
Originally, he wanted to go to his great-grandfather's house in Hong Kong to play for ten days or half a month before coming back, but now all his plans have gone down the drain.
Seeing that Principal Shen was so easy to talk to, Chen Xia felt guilty, and when he felt guilty, he wanted to spend money.
Yuezhou No. 1 Middle School, formerly the Datong School founded by Xu Xilin, Qiu Jin and other Xinhai martyrs, has an absolutely legitimate lineage and a glorious history. As a local celebrity, if you don't support such a prestigious school, who else can you support?
Four Seasons Group is not short of money now. If you have money, you must have a good reputation. Investing in education and supporting schools is one of the best ways to do so.
Chen Xia made up his mind and suddenly said:
“Principal Shen, I have another suggestion. Our Four Seasons Group can invest 2 million RMB to establish an education fund in No. 1 Middle School. The annual interest will be used to provide scholarships to outstanding students. What do you think?”
Shen Congwen rushed out from behind the desk and grabbed Chen Xia's hand:
"Oh, Dean Chen, thank you so much. I want to thank you on behalf of the children. You've really helped us a lot."
Principal Shen was so excited! This was a first for Yuezhou No. 1 Middle School. Someone actually donated money to support education? And a donation of 2 million yuan?
Not to mention the principal, the annual interest alone is enough for the school to pay out scholarships.
You have to know that in the late 1980s, bank interest rates were extremely high, reaching up to 13.6% for a 5-year term. That's amazing, right?
The school has tens of thousands of yuan in interest at its disposal each year, and Principal Shen is already thinking about filling the hole in the school's funds.
