After school that day, Jiang Xiaoli went straight to Xiao Jincheng.
"Uncle Xiao, let's put the car purchase for my mom on hold for now. Let's find someone to supervise them and make sure they can drive properly before letting them drive on the road."
Xiao Jincheng nodded with a dark expression, "I had someone check with the driving school. They enrolled in a guaranteed pass course. Little Pear, you probably haven't heard of the shady dealings involved..."
"Uncle Xiao, I understand." She was an experienced driver in her past life, and drifting and cornering were second nature to her.
She just didn't expect these shady practices at the driving school to have been going on for so long.
She wondered, "Why would they guarantee a pass if they didn't actively ask for it?"
Xiao Jincheng couldn't help but roll his eyes. "I asked when I got back. When they went to register, there was a student asking about the guaranteed pass course. They accidentally registered for the same course as the other student, and the coach thought they knew about it."
Jiang Xiaoli suddenly felt that these two mothers were so "naive and innocent".
She sat down next to Xiao Jincheng. "So what do we do now? Learn it all over again?"
Xiao Jincheng sighed, "I'm not comfortable letting them both go back to this driving school. I plan to have my company driver take them for more practice."
"Alright," she thought so too, "Let's be stricter!"
When the two of them came out of the study, Li Guizhi and Xu Feng had already prepared dinner.
Li Guizhi sat next to her daughter, sighing, "I never imagined that after studying for several months, we would be fooled for just as long."
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled softly, "It's alright, we have plenty of time. The driver can help you and Auntie correct your minor mistakes."
Xu Feng said listlessly, "I had already arranged a schedule with your mother. She would take you two to school, and I would pick you two up and take you home. Now look what's happened, you're going back to school for a fresh start."
Xiao Muyu served her rice. "Mom, it's not like Xiaoli and I are new to taking taxis to and from school. It's fine. You and Auntie can practice more. Safety first!"
Just a few days after the two mothers resumed driving practice, Jiang Xiaoli and Xu Xing's preliminary test results for the competition came out.
The school broadcasts the health exercise broadcast directly to the whole school before the third period in the morning.
"Warmest congratulations to our students for their outstanding achievements in this year's mathematics and physics competitions! Congratulations to Xu Xing and Jiang Xiaoli for achieving perfect scores in both competitions!"
The cheers of the students in Class 1 of Grade 1 echoed throughout the entire floor. Not only the teachers and students of Grade 1, but also the math and physics teachers of the entire No. 20 Middle School were green with envy.
This morning, Chen Zhe and Teacher Liu's office was flooded with congratulatory messages, some of which were quite sarcastic.
"Teacher Chen, you've finally caught two gems after all this time!"
Chen had long since developed a good temper. He slowly blew on the tea leaves on the cup and took a small sip.
"That's right! If you ask me, a teacher only needs to encounter two such outstanding students in their entire career! I've been waiting for you, Teacher Li, but you've been waiting for a long time!"
"Pfft!" Chen, the math teacher opposite him, couldn't control himself and sprayed water all over the table. "Ouch, does anyone have any toilet paper to lend me? I need to hand in this lesson plan today!"
No sooner had the person who had encountered a soft rebuff from Teacher Chen left than another person who had come to confront Teacher Liu head-on arrived.
"Xiao Liu, if you ask me, you should let your students focus on their academic subjects and take the college entrance exam route. The competition classes in Beijing and the South have much more experience than us. Be careful not to hold your students back!"
Teacher Liu didn't even raise her head, only slightly lifting her eyelids. "What, just because your kid didn't make it to the finals last year, you think no student in the world can make it to the finals? My students are way smarter than your silly kid. Hurry up and go home and tell your kid to study hard. I don't even know how many points he'll get on the college entrance exam this year."
No one in the office expected that Xiao Liu, who was usually cunning, would be so blunt and ruthless in his criticisms.
The man's face turned bright red with anger. "Hmph! Let's see how far you can go with two high school freshmen!"
The moment she slammed the office door shut, everyone in the office turned to look at Ms. Liu with surprise.
Teacher Liu looked at her colleagues helplessly and said, "It's one thing to talk about me, but it's another to talk about my students! Teacher Chen, don't you agree?"
Chen Zhe and Teacher Liu were now natural allies, so he immediately chimed in, "That's right! These two students in my class have absolutely a bright future!"
On June 1st, Zong Jia returned and reported to Jiang Xiaoli on the overall situation of the branch factory in May.
She actually keeps track of these things regularly, and she feels very reassured with Zong Jia managing the factory for her.
After they finished talking, Zong Jia took out a small gold pendant from his pocket.
"Little pear, a holiday gift."
Jiang Xiaoli accepted the gift with a smile. It was a gold necklace in the shape of a serpent, and she immediately asked Zong Jiayu to put it on her.
After admiring herself in the mirror for a while, she finally realized, "Today is...Children's Day? Zong Jiayu, you did this on purpose!"
Zong Jiayu wasn't angry when she hit him with a pillow. He smiled and said, "Little Pear can celebrate Children's Day forever."
Jiang Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him, "You're the one who'll never grow up!"
She held the pendant in her hand and said, "Why do you love giving people gold so much? You give me gold for my birthday and for my mom's birthday."
Although she didn't celebrate her birthday this year, Zong Jia gave her a small golden pear the size of her palm.
When Li Guizhi celebrated her birthday, Zong Jiayu gave her a pair of antique-style bracelets that were quite heavy.
Zong Jia and Xiao Xiao said, "Don't you like the little pear? Give it back to me and I'll get you something else."
She gripped the pendant even tighter. "How could I not like it? There's no reason to ask for a gift back after giving it away!"
"Haha." Zong Jia smiled happily, "I'm glad Little Pear likes it."
Jiang Xiaoli suddenly glanced at the calendar and said, "Don't go to the branch factory this month. Stay home and talk to Dafu on the phone. Focus on reviewing for a month."
"It's okay, I'll be back before the exam." He still has some things to worry about at the factory lately.
Until the end of June, as soon as summer vacation started, Jiang Xiaoli personally went to the branch factory to bring the person home.
"This 'high school student,' I've called you so many times and you still haven't come back. Don't you remember you have your college entrance exam in just a few days?"
Zong Jiayu rubbed his temples. "I remember. I've been reading whenever I'm not busy in the evenings lately."
Jiang Xiaoli immediately dismissed Director Zong from his post temporarily. "That won't do either. You should stay home and study during this time. Dafu can handle things at the factory. You have to give him a chance. Otherwise, what will he do if you leave in a few months and leave him all alone?"
After thinking for a moment, Zong Jiayu had no choice but to agree, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
Li Guizhi made the decision immediately, "Xiao Zong, you will come to the house every day. During this period, you must eat and drink well. Leave all the household chores to me!"
Zong Jia looked at the two of them with emotion, and after a long while, he smiled and said, "Okay."
