'Boom boom boom'

A few knocks, neither loud nor soft, knocked on Zhou Yu's door, and then a familiar voice sounded from outside the room.

"Teacher Zhou, I'm Xu Jiacheng. Are you home?"

Hearing the knock on the door and the call outside, Zhou Yu subconsciously glanced at the time.

Xu Jiacheng talked to Zhou Yu last night and mentioned on the phone that he would pay a special visit to Zhou Yu before the parent-teacher meeting started today, and they agreed on a time of around eight o'clock. So when Xu Jiacheng arrived at Zhou Yu's door, Zhou Yu was instinctively surprised.

It's eight o'clock already?

Yes, it is indeed eight o’clock, exactly eight o’clock, very punctual.

"Here it comes, wait a moment!"

Zhou Yu urged Qiao Meng, who had been lying in bed awakened by the arrival of the guest, to get up quickly while answering Xu Jiacheng. When Zhou Yu opened the door, he saw Xu Jiacheng and his wife carrying a lot of things. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Boss Xu, if you were so polite every time and brought so many things, I really wouldn't dare to let you come to my house!"

After saying that, Zhou Yu also greeted Zhao Mingfang who was beside Xu Jiacheng, and then made way for the two to come in.

Xu Jiacheng was not angry at Zhou Yu's words. He just laughed happily and explained to Zhou Yu, "Putting aside the fact that our Xu Li is your student, Teacher Zhou, I think that you and I should be friends! Isn't it normal to come all the way to visit a friend and bring some gifts?"

"Besides, I came to Ruxu specifically for the purpose of visiting you, Teacher Zhou! And I didn't bring any expensive gifts, just some specialties from Jiahe, which I gave to you, Teacher Zhou, before!"

After Xu Jiacheng entered Zhou Yu's dormitory, he and Zhao Mingfang put the gifts in their hands in the corner.

Zhou Yu invited Xu Jiacheng and his wife to sit down at the table while pouring water for them. Xu Jiacheng politely asked Zhou Yu to stop working, but Zhou Yu insisted on making a cup of tea for them, "How can a guest come to our house and not even have a cup of hot tea!"

Just this one sentence made Xu Jiacheng give up the idea of ​​continuing to argue. He stood there with a smile on his face, watching Zhou Yu busying himself. He stretched out his hands to the cup that Zhou Yu was pouring water for, trying to use this action to show that he was very grateful for Zhou Yu's hospitality.

The couple took the tea that Zhou Yu had prepared and thanked him. After taking a sip at the same time, they put down the teacups in their hands and started chatting with Zhou Yu.

The purpose of the two of them coming to visit Zhou Yu this time was actually very simple. They just wanted to hang out with Zhou Yu and deepen the impression of their family in Zhou Yu's mind. They also wanted to chat with Zhou Yu and discuss the issue of Xu Li's grades.

Although the couple would contact Zhou Yu by phone on a regular basis and ask him about Xu Li's performance and grades in school, not to mention that there would be a parent-teacher meeting soon, and after the meeting, the couple would prepare a dinner for Zhou Yu and school leaders.

but.......

How can one really explain it clearly over the phone? And what about the parent-teacher conference? No one really thinks that in just over an hour of the parent-teacher conference, the head teacher will patiently discuss their children's problems one-on-one with all the parents, right? No way, no way?

As for the dinner they invited Zhou Yu and school leaders to after the parent-teacher meeting, it was possible to discuss these things at the dinner, but due to the presence of those school leaders, it made it inconvenient for the couple to say some things.

So after much thought, Xu Jiacheng and his wife Zhao Mingfang finally decided that it would be better to visit Zhou Yu during the period before the parent-teacher meeting, using the excuse of visiting Zhou Yu to get in touch with her and discuss Xu Li's learning problems with her.

After exchanging pleasantries with Zhou Yu, carefully asking if Zhou Yu's family was okay, and talking to Zhou Yu about how if Zhou Yu and Teacher Qiao's parents wanted to go out for a trip, they might as well come to Jiahe and that the couple would make clear arrangements then, Xu Jiacheng began to talk about Xu Li's issue.

Zhou Yu naturally understood that the previous words from Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang were just polite remarks, and the latter words were the real purpose of the couple's visit to Ruxu. So he kindly laid out all the questions about Xu Li in front of Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang, so that the couple could understand their son's current strengths and weaknesses in various subjects.

Zhou Yu peeled off these questions layer by layer like peeling an onion and showed them to the couple.

Zhou Yu was even very considerate and helped the couple analyze what he would do next and what he was going to do with Xu Li, including how the days leading up to the college entrance examination would be divided into several stages and to what extent he would help Xu Li improve in each stage.

Zhou Yu told the couple all the plans in detail without leaving out a single detail. This made Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang, who had been listening quietly, more and more excited. They thought to themselves that this trip was really the right one!

You know, even in a nationally renowned high school like Jiahe No. 1 High School, there would not be a teacher or class teacher as responsible as Zhou Yu who would make a targeted plan for each student, implement the teaching plan in a purposeful and targeted manner, and improve students' grades.

The couple has met so many teachers and class teachers, and the only one who can do this is probably the young teacher in front of them.

While the couple listened to Zhou Yu bragging to them... no, explaining the teaching plan he was going to implement for Xu Li, they felt in their hearts that the risk they took to leave their son alone to study in a foreign place finally gave them a handsome reward.

"So, Mr. Xu, Ms. Zhao, I don't know if Xu Li has mentioned this to you before, but he did tell me that his dream university is Zhejiang University in your province." Zhou Yu recalled the scene when Xu Li mentioned his dream school to him. When Xu Li said this, his eyes were full of light, like a child chasing his dream.

"Yes, yes. In our place, good kids all want to go to universities in Zhejiang Province!" Xu Jiacheng confirmed with Zhou Yu excitedly. He also joked with Zhou Yu, "It's just like when we were kids, we were all worried about whether to go to Shuimu or Beijing University when we grow up. When we grow up, we find out that we can't go to any university. The best we can go to is Lanxiang University. Haha!"

As he spoke, the smile on Xu Jiacheng's face faded, and he sighed helplessly, "Xu Li wants to go to Zhejiang University, just like when we were kids. Without matching grades, who would let you go? To be honest, if this child doesn't work hard and gets into a third-tier university or a junior college, we really can't let him go to this fake school! But we can't bear to send him to study abroad! This is really a double-edged sword!"

The worries of the poor are relatively simple. The only thing they worry about is having no money.

But rich people have a lot of worries. They are bothered by this and that, but the only thing they don’t worry about is probably money.

Zhou Yu couldn't really empathize with Xu Jiacheng's troubles.

First, he has no children.

Second, he is not a rich man.

So, after Zhou Yu thought about it and found that he didn't know how to comfort Xu Jiacheng, he continued to speak according to his established idea, "Ahem, Boss Xu, if you continue to do as I just said, as long as you don't let down your guard and don't slack off, then the Zhejiang University you expect will definitely not be just a dream, it may even be a dream that shines into reality."

Zhou Yu always encourages people, not only students but also their parents. If the scope is larger and the influence is wider, this group of people can even include school leaders and other teachers.

As the boss and boss lady of several large private enterprises, Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang were usually the ones who encouraged and praised their partners or subordinates. No one would ever do such a thing for them.

Therefore, Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang couldn't hold back their excitement when facing Zhou Yu's enthusiasm and became completely excited.

"Teacher Zhou, don't worry! Xu Li is now one of your soldiers. You can deal with him however you want. Even if you want to slap him, you don't need to ask us, just do it directly!"

The couple seemed very pleased with the promise of Zhou Yu's plan to get their child into a university in Zhejiang Province in half a year. "It's not just Xu Li. If you need us to do anything, just say it! We promise to get the job done!"

Father Niu rushed to Ruxu No. 2 Middle School and followed the signboards in the school to the Senior Grade 3 (27) classroom. The classroom was already crowded with people sitting on the floor.

When Niu's father saw this scene, he couldn't help but smack his lips, and was glad that he didn't delay any longer. He spent ten yuan to take a taxi and rushed to No. 2 Middle School. If he was a little later, the head teacher would have arrived but he hadn't. After the head teacher remembered him, would their Niu Dehua still be able to stay in Ruxu No. 2 Middle School?

Thinking of this, Niu's father couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked for his child's seat according to the student list that had been posted on the upper right corner of the desk.

"Got it! Here, Niu Dehua!"

Since there were only a dozen or so empty seats left, it made it easier for Niu's father to look for the seat, so he found Niu Dehua's seat at the back of the third group in no time.

Ignoring the excited chatting of the parents around him, Mr. Niu found a seat and sat down directly. Just as he took a breath of relief, he heard a voice from the side.

"Hello, are you Niu Dehua's parent?"

Father Niu looked in the direction of the voice and saw another middle-aged man sitting next to him who was about the same age as him. He should be the father of his son Niu Dehua's deskmate.

Father Niu glanced at the other child's name.

Well, Ouyang Ming, it’s a fucking double surname.

Thinking of this, Niu's father smiled brightly, looked at the other party and nodded, "Yes, I am Niu Dehua's father, you are Ouyang Ming's father, right? Hello, hello, I have heard a lot about you! Oh, I heard from our Dehua that his deskmate at school has always taken good care of him. Thank you so much for your son's care for our Dehua!"

What a waste of admiration! What a waste of care!

Before today, Niu's father never knew who Niu Dehua's deskmate was, and he had no idea whether Niu Dehua had ever been taken care of by the other party at school.

At home, Niu Dehua would never tell his father and mother who he played with or who he got along with at school. What he mentioned most to his parents was his grades in school and how great Teacher Zhou was!

Oh, by the way, at most, they would mention in passing that there was a transfer student from Jiahe in their class, whose name was Xu...Xu...Xu what? Never mind, but I heard from Dehua that this Xu's family was very rich!

However, according to Niu's father's understanding of Niu Dehua, Niu Dehua usually gets along well with his deskmate, so Niu's father doesn't mind a little commercial bragging first, even if the other party has never taken care of their Dehua. But as long as Niu's father brags about it today and makes the other party happy, then when the other party goes home and tells it about it, when that kid named Ouyang Ming knows about it, will he still have the nerve not to take care of their Dehua?

So you see, middle-aged people are generally so hypocritical, especially middle-aged men. To a large extent, what they say and do has certain purposes. If they praise you and praise you with all their might, they definitely have intentions towards you.

The same was apparently true for Ouyang Ming's father. Ouyang Ming had never mentioned his circle of friends at school to his parents at home, so his father had no idea who Niu Dehua was. It was only after he arrived a step ahead and saw the name on the seat next to him that he realized who his son Ouyang Ming's deskmate was.

Niu Dehua, the name is a bit funny.

Although he thought the name was a little funny, it didn't stop Father Ou from looking at Father Niu with enthusiasm and said, "I've heard a lot about you. Haha, Niu Dehua's father, don't say that our Ou Yangming takes care of your Niu Dehua. That's what our Ou Yangming should do! I taught our Ou Yangming since he was a child that he should help his classmates and be united and friendly at school!"

After hearing this, Father Niu immediately gave Father Ou a thumbs up and said, "No wonder your son Ou Yangming has such a good character. It turns out that he has a family tradition of learning! With such a good role model like you, it's no wonder that Ou Yangming has developed such a good character!"

"Haha, no, no, this child is born like this, how could he learn it from me!" Father Ou just thought that this man spoke nicely and looked kind, and he really liked to continue chatting with him. "By the way, which class was your Niu Dehua in before? Our Ou Yangming was in Class 19!"

When this was mentioned, Niu's father was a little embarrassed, but he had to answer the other party's question, so he had to bite the bullet and answer, "Oh, no, our Niu Dehua's situation is rather special. He, failed a grade and repeated a grade..."

When he heard that it was a repeater, the smile on Ou's father's face faded. He thought to himself, Damn, a repeater, what a waste of my time. I must have a good talk with Xiao Ming when I get back. Don't waste time on this kind of idiot!

Thinking about this, Father Ou asked calmly, "Oh, then Niu Dehua's father, which unit do you work for?"

After hearing the company Niu mentioned, Ou's eyes lit up and a bright smile appeared on his face again. His attitude became even better, and he was complimenting Niu's father implicitly, "Oh, this company is great! This company is great! Father Niu Dehua, let me introduce our company's business to your company. When we get to know each other, I'll introduce our CEO to you!"
