The news of Sun Zhengguo's admission to university spread throughout the compound in an instant. As for the veracity of the news, according to insiders, it was only after his younger brother inadvertently let it slip that everyone found out, and the source was very reliable.
This caused an uproar in the compound. This was the first college student in the compound, a historic first. From now on, when outsiders talk about the No. 95 courtyard, they will say...
"I know this courtyard, and there's a college student in that courtyard too!"
Listen to that, how prestigious is that!
So, the neighbors in the compound spread the word, and before long, everyone in the surrounding courtyards knew about it. Eventually, the news even reached the steel rolling mill.
In the women's federation office of the steel rolling mill, Sister Wu hurriedly walked in from outside, her face full of gossip.
"Sisters! Breaking news! Breaking news!"
The people nearby stopped when they heard this, and the clerk, Xiao Chen, asked with a curious look.
"Sister Wu, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly, what important news is it?"
"Yes! Sister Wu, tell us quickly."
Seeing that everyone was urging her on, and knowing that Sister Wu was someone who couldn't keep secrets, she immediately revealed the information she had received.
"Do you know? Our Women's Federation Director Lin's son......"
As Sister Wu finished speaking, she suddenly stopped the car, which displeased several of her colleagues.
"What happened to Director Lin's son? Tell me quickly! You're making me so anxious."
"Sister Wu, you can't do this to me. Why are you only telling me half of what you mean?"
It has to be said that Sister Wu has a masterful grasp of how to keep people in suspense.
"I'm thirsty, let me have a sip of tea first."
Xiao Chen, who was standing nearby, noticed this and refilled Sister Wu's water.
Sister Wu picked up her cup, took a sip, and seeing that the atmosphere was just right, she spoke slowly.
"Did you know? Director Lin's son got into university. I heard he got a perfect score and was ranked first in the city."
It has to be said that the power of this kind of misinformation is quite great. By the time it reached Sister Wu, it had become a perfect score. I wonder if it will fly out of the universe if it continues to spread.
"Wow!"
"Tell me how Director Lin raises his son, why can't my daughter do it the same way!"
"Don't be envious. Some things are innate and can't be envied."
"Yes, yes, there's a kid in our neighborhood who just plays all day when he comes home, but his grades are really good. There's nothing we can do about it, he's just born that way..."
Seeing everyone discussing it, Xiao Chen quietly went to the deputy director's office to tell Lin Wencui the good news.
When the group of girlfriends realized that Xiao Chen was not there, they thought it was too late and began to complain, "Xiao Chen is such a sycophant!" But why didn't they think of that?
Sun Dajiang, from the electrical engineering department, had just returned from the workshop and hadn't even had time to change out of his work clothes when a loud voice rang out at the door.
"Old Sun, you've done a great job with this intelligence! I've never heard you mention it before. Are you just trying to avoid treating us?"
When he saw the loud-voiced Director Nie arrive, Sun Dajiang was completely bewildered.
"Trying to treat? Who's treating? Why should I treat?"
Sun Dajiang asked three questions in a row, indicating that he really didn't know.
"Old Sun, this is no fun. The whole steel rolling mill knows, and you're still pretending. You're actually quite good at it."
Seeing that Director Nie was speaking with such seriousness, not like he was joking, Sun Dajiang asked in confusion.
"Oh dear! My dear Director Nie! I just came back from the workshop, I haven't even changed my clothes yet, and you're already here. What's the matter? You have to tell me, otherwise, how will I know?"
After Sun Dajiang finished speaking, he got up and started making tea. Director Nie, who was standing to the side, saw that Sun Dajiang looked very confident and probably really didn't know.
After Sun Dajiang finished brewing the tea, Director Nie took the teacup, took a sip, and then began his sermon.
"You didn't know your son got a perfect score on his college entrance exam?"
"Oh, so that's what happened. My son went to school this morning, and I've been at work the whole time. How could I possibly know? I don't know who you heard it from, a perfect score? Is a perfect score that easy to get?"
"Then it's probably true. If this news hadn't come from your family, who would have known?"
After Director Nie's analysis, it's likely that Sun Dajiang did get into university, but whether he got a perfect score is uncertain.
"Okay, if it's true, you, Director Nie, will definitely be invited to a dinner."
The two then chatted for a while about the children's schooling, but Sun Dajiang was distracted the whole time. Seeing this, the perceptive Director Nie quickly finished his tea and took his leave.
After seeing Director Nie off, Sun Dajiang, who had just calmed down, had another guest arrive. It was Section Chief Wang from the Personnel Department. Sun Dajiang couldn't show favoritism to either of them.
Welcoming Section Chief Wang in, brewing him fine tea, and exchanging pleasantries, we promised that he would definitely be invited to dinner, and presented him with a small packet of tea. Only then did Section Chief Wang leave satisfied.
Sun Dajiang was busy all afternoon, with a constant stream of visitors until he finally got off work.
In short, Mr. and Mrs. Sun Dajiang have become famous in the factory again. Last time they were famous for passing the Level 8 electrician exam, and this time they are famous for having a good son.
In the evening, Sun Dajiang and his wife, along with their two henchmen Sun Zhengdong and Lin Jiguo, returned to the courtyard house.
As soon as they entered the courtyard house, they were greeted with congratulations, which the couple responded to warmly. Sun Dajiang promised that once they received their acceptance letters, they would definitely hold a banquet to celebrate. Only then did the neighbors disperse, satisfied.
"Mom and Dad, Zhengdong, Jiguo, you're back! I have some good news for you: my brother got into university!"
Before the group even entered the door, Sun Zheng'an came out to announce the good news.
"We understand. Where's your brother?"
Lin Wencui, not seeing her eldest son, asked from the side.
"My brother is busy in the kitchen. He said we'll celebrate together when everyone gets back tonight."
"No wonder it smells so good, I'll go help."
After Lin Wencui finished speaking, she went to the kitchen.
That evening, around a square table, seven people raised their glasses and shouted loudly.
"cheers!"
The group finished their drinks in one gulp. Sun Dajiang took a bite of food to calm himself down after drinking, and then said to his daughter beside him.
"Daughter, fill Dad's cup."
Sun Dajiang was in a great mood tonight, and Lin Wencui didn't spoil his fun, letting him drink as much as he wanted.
As Sun Dajiang drank, he talked to his son, and when he got excited, he started gesturing wildly.
Sun Dajiang is drunk? He's happily drunk!
It was late at night, and the young men were still awake, chatting quietly in bed.
Many people in the courtyard were also unable to sleep and were chatting in bed.
Opinions varied and differed until my eyelids could no longer stay open...
