After work, Teacher Sun rode his bicycle straight to the teahouse, mentally rehearsing his lines the whole way, trying to come up with the best words to move Shu Yuqing.
Upon arriving at the place designated by Shu Yuqing, Teacher Sun parked his bicycle and stood awkwardly in front of the teahouse. He thought that the place Jiang Xin's mother had mentioned was an ordinary teahouse, but just by looking at the exterior decoration, he knew that this was not the place he should be.
Just as he hesitated, a young woman came out. She was wearing a dark gray business suit and walked quickly in front of him, asking softly, "Excuse me, are you Teacher Sun?"
Teacher Sun nodded: "Yes, that's me."
"Hello, I am Ms. Shu's assistant. She specially sent me to meet you at the door. Please follow me."
With a polite smile, the assistant gestured for Ms. Sun to enter.
Teacher Sun followed behind her, and the interior decoration of the teahouse made him secretly marvel. The overall classical decoration looked grand and elegant, showing a noble air everywhere. The tranquil and far-reaching atmosphere made people feel relaxed and happy. If he hadn't been invited here today, he wouldn't have known that there was such an exquisite teahouse hidden in Beijing.
The assistant led him to the door of a private room, knocked gently, and a woman's voice came from inside: "Please come in."
The assistant pushed open the door and said to the person inside, "Mr. Shu, the person has arrived."
Teacher Sun took a deep breath and stepped into the room. Just as she was about to greet someone, she saw a woman in her forties standing in front of her. She had a faint smile on her face and was extending her hand to greet her.
"Hello, I apologize for being so forward today."
Teacher Sun quickly shook hands with her and greeted her, afraid that he might offend the important person by accident. He knew that he was hoping that the important person in front of him would sponsor the students in his class, so he could not be careless in his attitude.
Perhaps sensing his nervousness, Shu Yuqing didn't intend to make things difficult for this honest man. She politely asked Teacher Sun to sit down and then said, "Let me see the information on those children."
Teacher Sun responded with "Eh, eh" and quickly took a stack of documents out of her bag.
He was very well prepared, bringing not only detailed introductions of the students' families, but also their homework and exam papers.
Shu Yuqing looked at it very carefully. She nodded to herself. The student that Teacher Sun had chosen was indeed good. He had good grades and his homework was clean and tidy.
Noticing the satisfied look on Mr. Shu's face, Mr. Sun added, "I know it was particularly impolite of me to call you today, but one of the children is truly, truly outstanding."
Shu Yuqing put down the documents in her hand, looked up, looked directly at him, and listened patiently to his story.
"This student named Yu Zhou is the one with the worst conditions here, but also the one with the best academic performance. In junior high school, his grades consistently ranked in the top ten of his grade."
His parents died early, and he only has an older brother with intellectual disabilities. Because he has to take care of his brother, he cannot devote all his energy to his studies.
As Teacher Sun spoke, he showed Shu Yuqing Yuzhou Yuzhou's information and grades. This student was the main reason he came today.
As for why he needed information on several students, it was because he wasn't sure if the boss was willing to sponsor Yu Zhou. So, he prepared several options just in case, so that even if she didn't choose Yu Zhou, she could still choose other students.
You see, such an opportunity is extremely rare, and he has to fight for it for his students.
"If a kind person were willing to sponsor him, I think his grades would be even better and he would definitely achieve something in the future."
As Teacher Sun spoke, his mood darkened. He had considered sponsoring Yu Zhou, but Yu Zhou's family was not well-off. The monthly expenses for his children and elderly parents were too high. He could only give him a small amount of money privately each month, but that amount was just a drop in the bucket for Yu Zhou.
"Okay, I'll consider it."
People like Teacher Sun are rare in today's society. It's commendable that he's genuinely willing to stand up for his students. If this student is truly as he says, she wouldn't mind helping another child.
I made time to meet with him and listened to his opinions, hoping that he wouldn't disappoint me.
After Teacher Sun left, Shu Yuqing called her assistant in, pulled out Yu Zhou's page of information, and asked her to give her the results as soon as possible.
"Yes, Mr. Shu, I'll take care of it right away."
The assistant quietly left the room. Shu Yuqing was filled with thoughts. Although she was not a philanthropist, at this moment, she hoped that more responsible teachers like Teacher Sun would come to her, and she would be willing to sponsor more children.
