Chapter 178 Encountering Lee Da-mi's Man and Mistress
In the 1970s, there was no college entrance examination; the only way to attend school was to attend a worker-peasant-soldier university.
However, many students recommended by their superiors are undoubtedly of impeccable character, but their academic qualifications are limited. Once they arrive at the school, they may even have to start learning Mandarin from scratch.
Universities in this era placed more emphasis on cultivating moral character and paid less attention to science and technology.
Lin Shanshan's words just now ignited the passion of more than 1,200 teachers and students in the audience.
A thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Gu Yiye, beaming with pride, carried a bouquet of lilies onto the stage and presented them to Principal Lin of Xinghuo University of Science and Technology, his beloved wife.
"Shanshan, I'm so proud of you."
The lilies bloom beautifully in the morning light, their fragrance delightful.
Lin Shanshan accepted the flowers and saw Wang Zhanbo in the audience. She immediately understood that it must have been her brother-in-law who came up with the idea for her husband.
Otherwise, given Gu Yiye's personality, he probably wouldn't have thought of buying her flowers.
Lin Shanshan was very happy. No matter who taught her, it was good that Gu Yiye was willing to put in the effort.
"Thank you, I really like it."
As Lin Shanshan and Gu Yiye stepped off the stage, the applause continued until Li Duomei announced the end of the opening ceremony, at which point the teachers and students reluctantly returned home.
Wang Zhanbo ran up to Lin Shanshan to show off: "Sister-in-law, I taught my brother how to wrap this flower, isn't it beautiful?"
Lin Shanshan smiled and nodded: "It looks really good, thank you Zhanbo."
Wang Zhanbo was even happier after being praised by his idol, and he smiled so much that his eyes were almost closed.
Why is he an idol? Because Wang Zhanbo is Lin Shanshan's number one fan because of her looks.
Bai Xue came over and gave Lin Shanshan a jade Buddha, saying, "I don't have much to give as a gift for the school's opening, so I just bought this jade Buddha. They say men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha, and that wearing it will protect my daughter-in-law and the baby in her belly."
Since things had been said so clearly, Lin Shanshan couldn't very well turn Ping An away. She took the gift with both hands, let Gu Yiye help her put it on, and then said, "Thank you, Mom."
Bai Xue said, "Let's go to a restaurant for lunch together. I'm going back to Hong Kong tomorrow to handle some company matters."
Lin Shanshan nodded: "Okay."
The family of four arrived at the Friendship Hotel and found a window seat with a view of the Bund.
When the dishes were served, Bai Xue said, "After I return to Hong Kong, Zhanbo will stay with my elder brother and sister-in-law for a month. Once his illness is cured, I will take you back."
No one wants to be told they have a problem in public, especially in front of someone they admire.
Wang Zhanbo immediately frowned, ready to get angry, but because Lin Shanshan was present, he held back his anger until his face turned red.
Lin Shanshan quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "I think Zhanbo is quite sensible, cheerful, and knowledgeable."
When educating children, praise should be the primary method.
As expected, Wang Zhanbo's expression improved considerably after hearing his sister-in-law praise him, and he began to chatter on and on about the knowledge he had learned to his older brother and sister-in-law.
Every now and then, a foreign language phrase would pop out.
The Friendship Hotel is very expensive, so very few people come to eat there. With so few people, you can hear everything the other people are saying.
Not far away, a girl dressed in flamboyant clothes said to the man sitting next to her, "When are you getting a divorce?"
The man replied, "Jasmine, we've finally come all this way, can we not talk about this?"
Women are naturally gossipy. Lin Shanshan and Bai Xue exchanged a glance, conveying the message: that Jasmine is a mistress, which in the 1970s could be replaced by "old hag".
Lin Shanshan listened intently, while Jasmine snapped at the man, "Are you reluctant to part with Li Duomei? Let me tell you, we're already together. What if she gets pregnant?"
"What's so great about Li Duomei? She's been married to you for years and you don't even have a child. Why can't you let her go?!"
