"This guy is a bit weird!"
After watching Ou Jianren leave the classroom with a wry smile, a long while passed, until Ou Jianren had completely disappeared from their sight, and then Xu Jiacheng sneered.
Although Zhou Yu also felt that Ou Jianren's attitude was a bit strange, he would not criticize other people in front of another parent, even if the person in front of him was the father of a student with whom he had close contact.
Therefore, Zhou Yu just smiled and did not respond.
Of course, Xu Jiacheng was just complaining. He didn't want to talk too much about irrelevant people. If Xu Jiacheng had been calm and composed, he would not have even looked at someone like Ou Jianren. It was just that Ou Jianren, who claimed to be the father of the top three students in the school, was too annoying, so he couldn't help it.
Therefore, when Xu Jiacheng saw that Zhou Yu had no interest in this topic, he quickly turned the topic to the lunch.
For the lunch, Xu Jiacheng and his family did not invite too many people. In addition to Zhou Yu, there were also several main school leaders of Ruxu No. 2 Middle School.
During the dinner, Xu Jiacheng expressed his gratitude to the teachers and leaders of Ruxu No. 2 Middle School for the guidance of his child Xu Li.
The school leaders did not take credit for it, and they all said that these were what the school should do, and...
"Boss Xu, if you want to thank someone, then you should thank our teacher Zhou!"
Old Wang spoke first, pushing all the credit onto Zhou Yu. "We old guys are just doing logistics to ensure the normal operation of the school. Your child's current results are all due to his own efforts and Mr. Zhou's seriousness and responsibility."
Xu Jiacheng nodded repeatedly to show his agreement, but then he said something that seemed to indicate that he disagreed with what Lao Wang said, "What Principal Wang said is true, but I don't agree with it."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him in confusion, Xu Jiacheng said calmly, "If you, Principal Wang, hadn't provided all kinds of support for the teachers and students in the school, how could these students and teachers focus on their books and study and work wholeheartedly?"
"So, Principal Wang, please don't be so modest! If you ask me, the good results that Ruxu No. 2 Middle School has now achieved are due to half of the credit given to class teachers like Mr. Zhou, and the other half to leaders like you, Principal Wang!"
Lao Wang and Li Jianping looked at each other and then laughed at the same time.
As expected of a businessman who can expand his business, he is very good at speaking polite words.
"Haha, it's you, Boss Xu!" Old Wang stretched out his hand and pointed at Xu Jiacheng.
The lunch was a great success and everyone present enjoyed it very much, including Xu Li.
After the meal, everyone present talked for a while about education issues. It was almost noon, and it was close to one o'clock when the meeting ended.
Originally, Xu Jiacheng planned to talk to Zhou Yu again, but Zhou Yu had to attend a parent-teacher meeting in the afternoon. Considering that Zhou Yu had to get a good rest, and he and his wife Zhao Mingfang had to rush back to Jiahe as soon as possible in the afternoon, he said goodbye to Zhou Yu and made an appointment to have a good chat next time.
...
...
"When we go to school later, you have to be careful. Our son did so well in the exam. Don't embarrass him!"
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Lei's mother began to tell Li Lei's father, who was changing clothes at home, what he should pay attention to when he went to school later. "When you go to school, if you don't know how to speak, don't speak. If you don't know how to answer, just smile there. Don't say anything without thinking!"
"Your mouth only offends people when you eat! If you could change your bad habit of talking nonsense, would you still be just a small clerk now?!"
While helping Father Li get the clothes to be worn in the afternoon, Mother Li kept chattering on and on, giving Father Li instructions tirelessly. It was obvious that Father Li's words made her feel helpless.
Facing his wife's nagging, Father Li also had a headache. He looked at his wife helplessly and retorted, "How can my mouth offend people? I, don't I just like to tell the truth?"
"Besides, if you're really worried that I'll offend someone, then why don't you go in the afternoon? Why do you insist that I go?! Do you think I really want to go? Let me tell you, this kind of parent-teacher conference has no reputation, and it's just a bunch of empty clichés!"
Unexpectedly, before Mr. Li could finish his words, he was stopped by a slap from Mrs. Li.
"Pah!"
A clear sound was heard, and Father Li was stunned for a moment. Then he glared at Mother Li in anger, "Why did you hit me?! Wasn't what I said right?!"
Li's mother glared back at him, "You are still talking nonsense with your broken mouth. What do you mean by empty talk? I'm telling you, Mr. Li, you can just say this at home, but if you do this again at school, don't come back!"
"You said this in front of other parents. What if they tell Mr. Zhou? Do you still want our Li Lei to stay in the rocket class of Senior 3 (26)?!"
Li's mother's words completely frustrated Li's father. He looked at his wife with a sense of shame and regret.
When taking the high school entrance exam, their son Li Lei's score was only good enough to get into Ruxu No. 2 Middle School. The couple worked hard to get their son Li Lei into the better Ruxu Middle School or Ruxu No. 1 Middle School.
But because Mr. Li's words had offended many people in the past, he is now suffering the backlash. Others only respond to the couple perfunctorily with words like "OK, OK" and "I'll try", but turn around and laugh at Mr. and Mrs. Li in front of their relatives and friends.
"Look, look, this is Old Li who claims to be incorruptible, but in the end he still asks people to do things for him? It's fine if he just asks people for help, but he doesn't even give them something nice. Are you planning to give this little gift to a beggar?"
Later, Li's father felt that it was quite humiliating to beg for help in such a humble and smiling manner, so he rejected Li's mother's suggestion out of anger and let Li Lei go to No. 2 Middle School.
The couple had a big fight over this. One of them felt that her husband was not responsible for the child and only cared about himself; the other said that the child had to rely on himself and could not take any crooked path. Moreover, if we, as parents, don’t believe in the child, who else would believe in him? !
"What's wrong with No. 2 Middle School? No. 2 Middle School is not bad! I don't believe it. Can only Ruxu Middle School and Ruxu No. 1 Middle School pass the exam?! Then what's the difference between this and the academic clique?!"
Finally, helpless, Li's mother had to obey her husband and gave up the idea of sending her son Li Lei to Ruxu Middle School or Ruxu No. 1 Middle School to repeat his studies. Instead, she let her son Li Lei go to Ruxu No. 2 Middle School to study honestly.
After all, given my husband's personality, forcing him to use his connections to send my son to Ruxu Middle School or Ruxu No. 1 Middle School would be like forcing a cow to drink water - it would be too much to ask.
However, Li Lei, who failed the high school entrance examination, did not disappoint his parents after entering high school. Although his grades were still far behind those of the top students in Ruxu Middle School and Ruxu No. 1 Middle School, at least they gave his parents some hope.
"Anyway, I finally passed the exam. I'm firmly in a second-tier university, and I have a chance to get into a first-tier university. If I can really get into a better first-tier university, even if it's a non-first-tier university, it will be easier to find a job in the future!"
Looking at the transcript sent by the school in the second semester of high school, Li's father and mother felt quite relieved.
You know, in Ruxu County, a school like Ruxu No. 2 High School is only considered a second-rate high school. To be able to get such a result in Ruxu No. 2 High School truly shows that Li Lei has not slacked off at all in the past two years and has worked very hard to study.
Of course, Li Lei's results only made Li's parents happy. What really shocked Li's parents was when the mock exam results came out after Li Lei entered the third year of high school.
When Li Lei was transferred from the key class to Zhou Yu's newly established "rocket class", Senior 3 (27), his father expressed doubts about this, thinking that doing so might not only have no positive effect on his son, but would make his son Li Lei's grades worse.
"Women's opinions!" Facing his wife's doubts, Father Li just said disdainfully, "I have seen many such cases in the body. They set up a so-called 'performance model' to exaggerate his role and give him a gilded reputation!"
"Just wait and see. This Mr. Zhou will be transferred to the Education Commission in a few years, or he will go to a high school and become a manager!"
Li's mother could not refute what Li's father said, but Li Lei naturally did not accept it.
Father Li was not clear about the situation at No. 2 Middle School, but he knew that Teacher Zhou's ability was so amazing in No. 2 Middle School that he was the focus of everyone's attention.
Although Teacher Zhou is famous for teaching liberal arts classes, who dares to say that Teacher Zhou cannot teach science classes?
Under Li Lei's insistence, the stubborn father Li finally had to give in. Although father Li had shortcomings in this aspect and that aspect, he had one good point, which was that he fully respected the opinions of his children and his wife - of course, the habit of talking nonsense could not be changed, not even in this lifetime.
Although Li Lei's opinion was fully respected and Li Lei was allowed to study in the "rocket class" of Senior Grade 3 (26), Li's father still had some doubts about Li Lei's decision.
But after the mock exam results came out and Li Lei put his results in front of his father and mother, the shocked father could no longer say anything sarcastic.
ah?!
More than 670 points?!
My son passed the exam?! Is this true?!
Could it be that...something went wrong?!
Could it be that Mr. Zhou is not just a model, but a real piece of gold? !
Feeling that gold will shine wherever it is, Father Li finally accepted the fact that Teacher Zhou was very valuable, and developed an extraordinary liking for Zhou Yu, his son's head teacher whom he had never met.
This week's teacher is just like me, both are pieces of gold!
The only difference is that he has been excavated, while I am still buried under the sea.
Therefore, in response to his wife's ridicule, Father Li rarely refuted and expressed his deep approval, "It seems that Teacher Zhou is really good. I must discuss with him next time we meet!"
...
...
"Didn't you say last time that Teacher Zhou is competent and capable, and that you would have a good discussion with him when you meet him? How can you discuss with him when you offend him by talking nonsense?!" Mother Li continued to mutter to herself.
Father Li could only mutter quietly, "It is true that Teacher Zhou is competent and capable, but it is also true that there is no real substance in such a parent-teacher conference! Such a parent-teacher conference is just formalism created by the school..."
Seeing his wife raising her hand towards him again, Father Li, who had just changed his clothes, quickly picked up his cell phone and wallet, put them in his pockets, and hurried out the door.
"Remember to take a taxi, don't ride your electric scooter! It's hot outside, be careful of heatstroke!" In the end, Li's mother did not attack her husband and walked into the living room and whispered to her husband who was changing his shoes.
After changing his shoes, Father Li opened the door and walked out, saying to Mother Li in dissatisfaction, "Why spend that money? You might as well save the few dollars you would have spent on a taxi and buy you some food!"
"What's the use of saving that little money! If you really get heatstroke, it will cost at least one or two hundred to go to the hospital to get an IV drip. Don't save a little money and spend a lot of money. Do you hear me?" Mother Li glared at Father Li.
Father Li just waved his hands at Mother Li and responded impatiently, "I know, I know!"
...
...
"Oh my god, the weather this year is so abnormal. Why is it still so hot even though it's almost October?!"
At Ruxu No. 2 Middle School, Mr. Li complained as he pushed the electric bike into the carport and parked it.
After locking the electric bike that he had just bought, Father Li walked towards the classroom following the signboard erected by Ruxu No. 2 Middle School.
When Mr. Li arrived at the classroom, a lot of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
"Li Lei, Li Lei, Li Lei...ah, found it!" Father Li kept muttering his son's name while looking at the label with the student's name on the upper right corner of the seat. Not long after, he found the seat quickly.
After sitting down contentedly, Father Li picked up a page of transcript on the table and began to read it.
Looking at the name Li Lei, who ranked second in the class, Father Li couldn't help but chuckle with satisfaction and hummed a few times.
Tsk, you really are worthy of being the child of my Li family.
No one else noticed this action, but a well-dressed middle-aged man sitting in the front row turned around and looked at Li's father carefully.
"Hello, hello, are you...Oh, the parent of Han Meimei?" Father Li noticed that someone was looking at him, so he raised his head and looked forward.
When he noticed that a middle-aged man in the row in front of him, who was probably the father of a student, was looking at him, Mr. Li, who was in a good mood, took the initiative to greet him. While greeting the middle-aged man, he glanced at the upper right corner of the middle-aged man's desk.
After discovering that the student's name was Han Meimei, Li Lei's father couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, the names of our two children are quite fateful! What a coincidence, my son's name is Li Lei! Li Lei, Han Meimei, haha..."
Father Li thought he had a great sense of humor, but although the middle-aged man in front of him greeted Father Li with a smile on his face, he was secretly gritting his teeth in his heart.
This man... is that kid's father?!
Damn it, you're just hitting me in the face, right?!
...

I wish you all a happy New Year’s Eve in advance!
