For ordinary people, let alone weekends when they're not working, even during regular working hours from Monday to Friday, they still have to make several trips because either this person or that person isn't available.
But Pi Kai is the principal, and whatever he assigns, even if it's on the weekend, everyone should work overtime to get it done.
Xiao Lüping nodded.
The next morning, after Li Xiuyuan got up, he went to the town's middle school playground for a run as usual. Not long after he arrived, Su Ziying also arrived, greeted Li Xiuyuan with a smile, and the two ran together.
Then they went to a steamed bun shop for breakfast. After breakfast, Su Ziying paid the bill. After the two came out of the breakfast shop, Li Xiuyuan casually said, "Teacher Su, I know a breakfast shop in the county town that tastes pretty good. Next time I go to the county town, I'll treat you to a meal and ask you to try it."
This is just a polite remark; when adults use "next time" or "there's an opportunity" together, no one really wants to ask, "When is 'next time'?" or "When is 'there's an opportunity'?"
Su Ziying thought so too; she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, just a polite remark from Li Xiuyuan.
So he nodded and agreed, "Okay."
Li Xiuyuan smiled. His words sounded polite, but he was actually preparing for a real invitation. If he suddenly invited Su Ziying to breakfast in the county, Su Ziying would definitely wonder if he had any ulterior motives.
But with this groundwork laid, even if it's just a polite remark, it will leave an impression on Su Ziying. When the time is right, she can bring it up again, and it will be a natural progression.
There are never that many coincidences in this world; they are all the result of careful preparation by those with a heart, and opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
In the morning, when Li Xiuyuan set off from the town to Meilin Village, Wei Ke also received a call from the town's middle school, asking her to come to the town because the principal wanted to see her.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the dredging project of the S-bend section of the Heishui River officially began in Meilin Village. The S-bend section is not long, but the dredging is quite difficult. In addition to Li Xiuyuan, the village cadres and Wang Yonghua are also here to keep an eye on it.
Meanwhile, at the town's middle school, Wei Ke had already arrived at the principal's office and knocked on the door.
Wei Ke was still a little nervous when she came in. Before she encountered any problems, she thought, "What does it have to do with me, you're the principal? Can you even control me?"
But when you actually try to get things done, you realize that, let alone the principal, even a regular clerk can make things incredibly difficult for you.
"Teacher Wei, right? Please have a seat." Pi Kai greeted Wei Ke warmly, and after Wei Ke sat down, he poured her a glass of water before getting down to business.
“Teacher Wei, Mayor Li Xiuyuan already told me about your matter last night. Actually, this matter is difficult to handle for both our town and the Education Bureau, since your departure set a bad precedent. But since Mayor Li has spoken up, our town's middle school will assist you in handling this matter…”
Pi Kai didn't want any favors from Wei Ke. As a volunteer teacher, he didn't care whether Wei Ke stayed or not, even if Wei Ke was about to leave. So he gave all the favors to Li Xiuyuan.
