Ning Yuan had no idea that the middle-aged man selling plum vases that she had saved in the alley was the Vice Principal Zhu standing in front of her.
But she remembered that when Uncle Liu threatened him before, he mentioned that Zhu Li worked at the No. 2 Middle School in the county.
She thought he was just an ordinary teacher, but she never expected him to be the vice principal!
No wonder Uncle Liu and his group dared to threaten Zhu Li. If he didn't know what was good for him and called the police, they would keep harassing him!
Zhu Li has a good job, and he can't possibly give it up and run away to another place. As long as Zhu Li is still the vice principal of the No. 2 Middle School in the county, he can run away, but he can't hide!
When Julie saw his benefactor, the muscles on his face trembled with excitement, and he was about to say something.
Teacher Ye immediately said, "Ning Yuan, do you know our vice principal in charge of teaching at the school?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Director Wang beside her. Compared to Director Wang, if Ning Yuan was familiar with the vice principal, she would certainly have a chance to participate in the exam.
Ning Yuan immediately realized Teacher Ye's reminder and smiled at Zhu Li: "Uncle Zhu, it's been a while. How are you?"
Seeing that Ning Yuan didn't mention the time he was beaten for selling plum vases and she saved him, Zhu Li coughed lightly and said, "Yes, it's been a long time. What's up?"
Indeed, he couldn't bring this up in front of others.
Zhang Er was also surprised that Ning Yuan knew the vice principal of the county's No. 2 Middle School, and immediately complained: "I brought Ning Yuan to take the transfer student exam, and the result was..."
He recounted the whole story in detail.
Zhu Li had some idea of what was going on, but he never expected that Director Wang would go to such an ugly extent!
He gave Director Wang a cold look: "Director Wang, what do you want to explain? Is this how you do things?!"
Director Wang's balding forehead was sweating profusely. He really didn't know that Ning Yuan actually knew the vice principal. She went directly to the vice principal to intervene, instead of asking Teacher Ye!
It shouldn't have gotten this bad!
He could only manage a dry laugh: "Ah...it was my mistake, my mistake. I thought all the students in the classroom were there!"
As he spoke, he immediately looked at Teacher Ye, signaling her to speak up for him.
Teacher Ye felt much better when she saw him put the "work mistake" label that had been pinned on her back on his own head.
She glanced at her watch, then softened her tone towards Zhang Er and Ning Yuan: "Since Director Wang has no objections, why not let Xiao Ning take the exam first? It's been too long."
It's one thing for her to dislike Director Wang, but it's quite another to completely offend him.
Ning Yuan thought for a moment and then nodded: "Okay, Teacher Ye, Uncle Zhu, I'm going to take the exam now."
The exam is the priority; everything else can wait.
Seeing Ning Yuan readily agree to the offer, Teacher Ye's usually stern and sallow face broke into a rare smile: "Alright, it's in that classroom from before, the proctor is already inside."
Ning Yuan said to Zhu Li and Zhang Er, "Uncle Zhu, Brother Zhang Er, I'm going to take the exam now!"
Julie said gently, "Go on, meet me at the school gate after the exam, we'll have lunch together!"
Vice Principal Zhu's approachable demeanor aroused different thoughts in Teacher Ye and Director Wang, who secretly wondered which relative of Principal Zhu he was.
Zhang Er nodded: "I'll wait for you outside the school."
Ning Yuan nodded and immediately ran towards the classroom where the exam was to be held.
After she disappeared through the classroom door and Zhang Er left, Zhu Li finally put on a stern face and looked coldly at Director Wang: "Director Wang, it takes ten years to grow a tree but a hundred years to cultivate a person. How can we, as teachers, betray the teaching philosophy of educating people? This will affect your selection for advanced individual!"
Director Wang nodded and bowed: "Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention in the future and not make this mistake again."
Julie then turned and walked towards his office.
Watching Zhu Li walk away, a cold glint flashed in Director Wang's eyes. "Hmph, that Zhu guy only knows how to threaten me with the award for advanced worker."
Once he becomes the principal, he'll definitely kick this arrogant and unruly guy surnamed Zhu out of the school.
Vice Principal Zhu and Director Wang are vying for the position of principal. Director Wang's position is lower than Principal Zhu's, but he has connections in the province, so it's hard to say who will ultimately be promoted.
Ye Chengxin didn't want to stay with him, so she nodded and turned to go back to her class.
Director Wang snorted coldly: "Teacher Ye, which high school did your student go to before? What grade were they in? Don't just send anyone to the school."
Ye Chengxin frowned. She wasn't used to lying, but she still said, "She's in her first year of high school. As for her specific grades, we'll have to see the exam results."
Upon hearing this, Director Wang gave a disdainful sneer: "I bet you took some bribes to squeeze someone like this into the transfer student exam!"
What can you learn in the first year of high school?
His niece was already a senior in high school before she went to the countryside. She had good grades and was a key member of the arts and culture group. Even with his connections, she still had to take an exam to get in.
However, upon hearing that Ning Yuan had only studied until the first year of high school, he was completely relieved.
If he had known, he wouldn't have organized this whole thing. Letting that brat take the exam was just a way to make his niece a runner-up.
"You...you..." Ye Chengxin's face stiffened for a moment. Her son was getting married, and they were indeed short of industrial vouchers and fabric for his wife's clothes.
When Zhang Er brought it over, she accepted it, but she only tried to help with the registration; she didn't go to such an absurd extent as Director Wang, preventing other students from taking the exam!
Director Wang didn't bother to say anything more to Ye Chengxin, and just gave a cold snort: "Teacher Ye, you'd better not team up with anyone to frame me."
Ning Yuan knew the vice principal, yet she asked Ye Chengxin to intervene, causing him to lose face because he didn't know about their relationship. Wasn't she deliberately plotting against him?
He made a mental note of this!
Watching Director Wang walk away while touching his slightly balding head, Ye Cheng knew that this man was narrow-minded and must hold a grudge against him and Ning Yuan.
She frowned slightly.
If Ning Yuan gets accepted into the program, it will cause her a lot of trouble if she offends Director Wang.
Fortunately, Vice Principal Zhu Li was there.
But... she looked in the direction of Ning Yuan's classroom and shook her head.
Forget it, how could a first-year high school student possibly pass the entrance exam for a senior year transfer program?
...
Time passed by, and the exam for the fourth subject ended when the lunch bell rang.
Ning Yuan had already checked the paper twice. She put down her pen and went up to hand in her paper.
The teacher collecting the papers glanced at her densely written political exam paper and gave her a second look.
After all, the other two papers were basically blank. Of the four subjects, only Ning Yuan and another girl wrote a lot. It seems that the last spot is between them.
"You're blocking my way, move aside." A soft voice rang out, but the tone was rude.
Ning Yuan turned her head and saw a fair-skinned and slender girl with flat eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a slightly square chin, but it didn't detract from her beauty.
Moreover, this kind of well-proportioned jawline is very popular in this era and is a standard feature of pretty and well-proportioned girls.
For example, Tang Zhenzhen was considered a beauty among the educated youth team precisely because she also had this type of appearance.
But the one in front of me is prettier than Tang Zhenzhen!
However, the hostility in the other person's eyes made Ning Yuan frown: "There are many paths in the world, let each go their own way. The classroom is so big, why don't you go by yourself? Why do you have to complain that others are blocking your way?"
Seeing that Ning Yuan was so rude to her, Lin Juanzi glared at her, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
My uncle said no one would try to take her spot; it was just a formality. This woman went to all that trouble writing so much on the exam paper. Did she really want to take her spot?
dream!
Ning Yuan watched her retreating figure, finding the beautiful woman rather strange. She then slung her bag over her shoulder and left the classroom.
As soon as she stepped out of the school gate, she saw Brother Zhang and... Rong Zhaonan's tall and slender figure standing together.
She paused for a moment, then walked over.
"How did the exam go?" Brother Zhang asked anxiously as soon as he saw her come out.
Ning Yuan nodded, her big, dark eyes crinkling into crescents: "I'm fine, don't worry!"
Mr. Tang is truly capable. His teaching methods go beyond rote memorization. Even if she is a little weak in math, it would be enough for her to pass the transfer exam!
Seeing that Ning Yuan acted as if she hadn't seen him, she started talking to Zhang Er.
Rong Zhaonan's deep, phoenix-shaped eyes turned cold, but he still held back his anger and said calmly, "Let's go eat. Sister Zhang's shop has braised pork knuckle today."
She really liked eating that, and she would order it whenever the state-owned store where Sister Zhang worked had it.
Ning Yuan ignored him and smiled brightly at Zhang Er: "Brother Zhang, Vice Principal Zhu just invited us to dinner. We'll wait for him at the school gate."
Rong Zhaonan: "..."
What does she mean by this? She doesn't even include him in her meals?
