On the afternoon of the award ceremony, Wen Dongrong was particularly busy at work.
I had three meetings in one afternoon and had no time to look at my phone. It was already eight o'clock in the evening when I finally finished.
There were two missed calls and one text message on the phone.
Both calls were from Chen Ru.
Wen Dongrong opened the text message as he walked downstairs and was very surprised when he saw the content.
First prize?
"Comrade Dongrong!"
Seeing Wen Dongrong stuck on the stairs, his competitor, Lao Li, patted him on the shoulder from behind and said, "You look so distracted, be careful not to fall down."
Old Li is very concerned about Wen Dongrong.
Wen Dongrong was fed up with Lao Li, but since they were in the same unit, it was hard to quarrel with him. They still had to work together. However, after showing off the tie and leather shoes Wen Ying had given him, Wen Dongrong had found a way to keep Lao Li in check.
At work, he and Lao Li are evenly matched, but they can compare their children.
Wen Dongrong pretended to be worried: "Old Li, was your son difficult to discipline when he was a teenager?"
Wen Dongrong was unhappy, but Lao Li was happy, and immediately became interested:
"Last time you were praising your daughter for being so thoughtful and bringing you gifts. Has she already entered her rebellious phase? Dongrong, I'm not trying to be too senior to teach you a lesson. Work is important, and so is family. Especially children's education, it truly impacts the entire family's future."
Wen Dongrong had a look of being taught.
Old Li thought about how much hair he had lost in worry when his son was rebellious. Now that he has finally gotten through it, he couldn't help but gloat over Wen Dongrong's distress.
"Tell me what the situation is, and I'll give you some advice."
Wen Dongrong already knew that Wen Ying refused Wu Chunqin's help.
With Chen Ru's temper, how could she easily ask her old classmates for help? It was Wen Dongrong who was giving her advice behind this.
Unexpectedly, Wen Ying didn't appreciate it.
Wen Dongrong wanted to fly to Shanghai to communicate with Wu Chunqin in person.
But by the end of the year, there were too many trivial matters at work, and his competitor, Lao Li, was watching him like a thief, waiting for him to make a mistake. It was really not appropriate for Wen Dongrong to take a leave.
Unexpectedly, Wen Ying won the first prize!
So even if Lao Li didn't take the initiative to put himself in danger, Wen Dongrong would find an opportunity to attack Lao Li.
"Oh, my daughter is so hard to manage. You told her to study hard after she got into a provincial key school, but she refused to do so. She wanted to take time off to go to Shanghai to participate in some New Concept Essay Competition. This year is different from previous years. Even if she wins first prize, she won't be admitted to a prestigious school. She'll just have to lower her admission score by a few dozen points. Her mother and I don't expect her to win any prizes. As long as she studies hard, that's all that's needed..."
Old Li laughed and said, "You can't spoil him. When my son was in high school, he wanted to form a band with his classmates, but I beat him up. He threatened to disown me, but now he's grateful to me. If it weren't for that beating, he wouldn't even have gotten into college!"
Being able to read is already a great thing.
Even if you focus on studying, your grades may not be good. If you are distracted by other things, do you still want to go to college?
When Old Li heard that Wen Dongrong's daughter was admitted to a provincial key school, he said congratulations but he didn't feel happy in his heart.
They are all colleagues in the same unit. Wen Dongrong's daughter is very capable, so Lao Li will be jealous.
Wen Ying entered her rebellious phase. Lao Li comforted her on the surface, but secretly laughed in his heart.
However, Wen Ying's rebellious period was different from that of Lao Li's son. Lao Li's son wanted to learn to form a band, but Wen Ying wanted to participate in a competition. Hearing about "recommended admission to a prestigious school" and "reduced admission scores," Lao Li's eyelids twitched a few times, and he felt something was wrong.
——No, what is he afraid of? If Wen Dongrong’s daughter won the award, Wen Dongrong would have let the whole unit know long ago, just like the leather shoes and tie last time!
Old Li's tension relaxed immediately.
"So you agreed to let her go to Shanghai? It's okay, it's okay. Just think of it as spending money to let your child go on a trip. It's good to broaden her horizons."
Wen Dongrong nodded with a serious expression: "Of course I agreed. My husband and I didn't have any expectations. We entered this competition for the sake of participation. But my wife just informed me that Wen Ying won first prize. Now I'm worried!"
Old Li stared at Wen Dongrong and didn't say the next word for a long time.
The key words, such as admission to a prestigious university and admission with lowered scores, kept running around in Lao Li's mind like little mice.
"What did you just say? Winning first prize can—"
"You can lower your admission score. It's a joint venture between more than a dozen prestigious universities."
When Wen Dongrong listed the names of several prestigious schools, Lao Li felt a lump in his throat.
What the fuck are you worried about?!
Old Li wanted to kick Wen Dongrong down the stairs. It would be best if he died, but if not, he would make this bastard paralyzed on one side of his body.
Before Old Li kicked him, Wen Dongrong started walking downstairs, muttering, "There are more than a dozen schools, but I only have one child. Which one should I go to?"
Old Li understood that Wen Dongrong was worried about which prestigious school his daughter should choose.
Wen Dongrong's skillful Versailles tone made Old Li so angry that he felt dizzy. Instead of kicking Wen Dongrong down the stairs, he almost fell down himself.
Government agencies are the worst at keeping secrets. Within half an hour, almost all of Wen Dongrong's colleagues knew that Wen Ying had won the first prize in the New Concept Writing Competition.
Even if you didn't know about the "New Concept Writing Competition" before, you can learn about it by asking each other.
Wen Dongrong received several calls on his way home, all congratulating him.
While congratulating her, I also asked about Wen Ying's secret to winning the award.
These colleagues who called all have children in high school, and the "New Concept Competition" has shown them a shortcut to success.
