The head teacher, Old Wu, pointed to an article in the newspaper and gestured to Du Chen.
Du Chen looked down at the newspaper, where the title of an article was clearly written.
"The Growth of Genius Brothers: A Fairy Tale World Created by a Young Writer..."
Du Chen carefully read the content of the newspaper and saw that it was a soft article produced by the magazine. The whole article was praising Du Chen and Du Bin.
Some are the role models of quality-oriented education, some love to study and think, in short, whatever attracts attention.
Finally, he praised the newly published collection again and suggested that parents of children should each have a copy so that their children can learn a lot of knowledge from it.
By the end, Du Chen couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He felt embarrassed. He couldn't say that it had nothing to do with him. It had nothing to do with him at all.
"Teacher Wu, maybe this is about me and my brother."
Du Chen rarely felt that his skin was still a little thin. His face turned red with embarrassment, as if it was as thick as a city wall, and he said to Teacher Wu.
"Really? I think it's you. Look, there's Du Chen, a second-grade kid, and his brother Du Bin, a second-grade kid..."
Old Wu suppressed his smile and pointed at a sentence in the newspaper and said to Du Chen.
"Maybe. Judging from the names, it's me and my brother, but the content doesn't look like me..."
Du Chen wished there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into. He really didn't want to admit that the article in the newspaper was about him. If someone who knew him knew about it, where would he put his face? It would be pure social annihilation!
"Really? I think it looks a lot like you. Study hard and make progress! Isn't that you who's written about you?"
Teacher Wu continued to tease Du Chen.
Du Chen couldn't stand Teacher Wu's teasing any more, so he just raised his hands in surrender.
"Teacher Wu, is there something you want me to do?"
"Oh, the city is planning to select the city's three best students, and I've registered you. I asked you to come over to see if you have any honors or anything like that, which would give you extra points in the selection."
"Thank you, teacher! But please give this honor to other students!"
Du Chen thought about it and felt that this kind of honor was of no significance to him and would cause him a lot of troubles. It would be better to decline it and save himself the trouble.
"Really? The city's three-good students get interviewed by TV stations and even appear on TV and in newspapers!"
Teacher Wu seduces Du Chen.
Du Chen thought that it was so troublesome, which made him more determined to refuse.
"Teacher, that's really not necessary. I'm a shy person. I'm afraid if I appear on TV or in the newspapers, I'll bring shame to the school!"
Old Wu was a little troubled when he saw that Du Chen was unmoved, so he could only tell Du Chen the remaining conditions all at once.
"Du Chen, of course there's more than that. City-level "Three Good Students" also receive a 500 yuan bonus..."
When he heard the price of five hundred yuan, Du Chen was slightly tempted.
"Also, all the historical sites in the city are open to your family free of charge all year round! This includes the grottoes, Huayan Temple, the Nine Dragon Wall, and so on..."
Hearing this, Du Chen was tempted. It was not that Du Chen's family was short of the ticket money, but Comrade Lao Du and Du Chen's mother were usually unwilling to go.
One reason was that they didn't have time, and the other was that they were reluctant to spend money. Now there was a free opportunity for the whole family to have fun together, which touched Du Chen's heart.
"Really? Teacher, I think I should sign up too. Not for anything else, but to win honor for our school!"
Du Chen said this righteously, as if he was not the one who was unhappy just now.
"Oh, you don't want to, don't you? If you really don't want to, the teacher won't force you!"
It was the first time that Old Wu had seen such a shameless kid, so he couldn't help but want to trick Du Chen.
"Teacher Wu, I won't force you! For the honor of the school, it's our duty! Don't worry! Look at what's written in the newspaper. Du Chen is helpful and positive..."
At this time, Du Chen did not feel embarrassed by the content in the newspaper. Instead, he pointed at the content in the newspaper seriously to prove to Lao Wu how good he was.
"Teacher Wu, and I have a book that's going to be published soon. There's some mail in the mailroom today, and I haven't had time to pick it up yet."
"I guess it was the magazine that notified me about the book's release."
Du Chen argued with all his might, and it was almost as if the words "I am excellent" were written on his face!
"You have mail again? Why don't you pick it up? What if it's a sample book for you?"
Old Wu asked three times in a row, why doesn’t this child care about anything?
"Ah? Teacher Wu, I thought I'd be passing by after school anyway, so why not wait until after school to pick it up?"
Looking at the angry Teacher Wu, Du Chen explained somewhat awkwardly.
"Just be lazy!"
Comrade Old Wu said something to Du Chen, and seeing that Du Chen didn't respond, he couldn't help but continue.
"What's going on? Are you waiting for me to get your mail? Go ahead and bring it to me!"
"Oh, I'll go right away!"
With that, Du Chen ran out of the office. He felt that Old Wu was not in a good mental state today, so it would be better not to provoke him if possible.
The mail was quite heavy, and Du Chen had to use a lot of effort to carry it back to the office. Du Chen was sure that based on its weight, it must be a sample book sent to him by the publishing house.
"Teacher Wu, I moved back!"
Du Chen struggled to move the email to the desk, took a breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Teacher Wu helped Du Chen open the package of the mail. As expected, there were ten books neatly stacked inside, all of which were sample books of Du Chen.
"Amazing, Du Chen! Was this illustration drawn by your brother Du Bin?"
