"Hello, teacher, you are here!"
As soon as Du Chen saw the teacher, he secretly thought that something was wrong, but since the teacher was already there, he could only counter the teacher's moves. Du Chen could only greet the teacher.
"Mom Du Chen, who are these two?"
Du Chen's head teacher asked Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao who were standing next to Du Chen.
"Oh, this is my eldest son Du Bin, and this is our friend's child Ding Miaomiao. They are both students in our school and are both in their third year of high school this year."
"Oh, how's studying?"
Du Chen's head teacher asked this question.
"Here we go, the question-and-answer session that students hate the most."
Du Chen secretly complained in his heart.
"Not bad, both kids are doing really well and are among the top students in their grade!"
Ren Surong said very proudly.
"Mom Du Chen, what do you think about the party I just told you about? After all, it's a rare training opportunity for Du Chen."
Du Chen's head teacher turned the topic back to Du Chen. His main purpose in coming here was to get Du Chen to participate in the New Year's Eve party.
"Teacher Lu, our Du Chen has always been quite independent. His father and I generally respect his choices. So, if Du Chen doesn't want to attend the party, we can't force him to go, right? Besides, the extra points you mentioned won't mean much to Du Chen, and it will also waste a lot of his time and energy rehearsing the show. For us, it's not worth it."
Ren Surong's tone wasn't harsh, but her words were full of rejection. Ren Surong could see clearly that Du Chen's participation in the New Year's Eve party might be a good thing for the class teacher and the school, but for Du Chen, it was nothing more than a sideshow. At most, it would allow Du Chen to get attention! Ren Surong might have thought it would be good to broaden Du Chen's horizons, but running a business in recent years had taught her that only the benefits she had in hand were truly beneficial. One shouldn't live to impress others; only when one lives well can one truly be happy.
"Mom Duchen, don't you want to discuss this with Dad Duchen?"
The head teacher was still unwilling to give up and asked Ren Surong again.
"Teacher, my husband, Mr. Du, is too busy. He doesn't have time to worry about things at home. Besides, Du Chen can make the decision on his own. If the child doesn't want to go, there's nothing I can do, right?"
"Du Bin, Ding Miaomiao, why don't you two go upstairs and do your homework?"
Ren Surong still spoke slowly to the head teacher Du Chen, and at the same time urged Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
"oh……"
The two who originally wanted to continue watching the fun could only reluctantly go to the second floor to do their homework and study.
"Du Chen, the teacher still hopes that you can participate. This is also a rare training opportunity for you."
"Teacher Lu, I really have no interest and no time to participate in this New Year's Eve party. Rehearsing the program and stage rehearsals are such a waste of my time. I also have to study and write scripts! Besides, can you guarantee that there will be no inside information in the ranking selection? As for the training opportunities you mentioned, as the old saying goes, reading a thousand books is not as good as traveling a thousand miles. During the holidays, my dad always drives us out to travel and broaden our horizons, so I think you should give this training opportunity to other students."
Du Chen was a little annoyed by the teacher's back and forth, and he kept speaking in a nonsensical way. Although Teacher Lu was usually a nice person and his intentions were good, Du Chen hated this kind of self-indulgent personality. He said, "I'm doing this for your own good," but the problem was that you want me to get something for your own good. Now Du Chen was making one-sided efforts, and the effort and reward were completely disproportionate. So although Du Chen's words were not harsh, every sentence was full of thorns.
“…”
The head teacher felt a little uncomfortable with Du Chen's words. He wanted to get angry but had no reason to, but he felt uncomfortable not to be angry. But then he realized that Du Chen had just said that he was writing a manuscript. What manuscript was he writing?
"Du Chen's mother, Du Chen just said he was writing a manuscript. What is it?"
The head teacher turned around and asked Ren Surong. He didn't want to talk to Du Chen now. It was too annoying. Although Ren Surong's words were not pleasant, they were not unpleasant. So he must find someone who was easy to talk to and ask.
"Oh, Du Chen has been submitting articles since elementary school. Now he has monthly assignments from the magazine, so he has to write at least one article every month. He really doesn't have much time!"
Mentioning this, Ren Surong perked up, but her tone was nonchalant, because she had accidentally heard Du Chen and Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao talking nonsense about invisible pretense being the most deadly. Although she wanted to beat Du Chen when she heard it, because the words were a bit harsh, but there was some truth in them.
"Is Du Chen still writing? Can I take a look?"
The head teacher asked Ren Surong with curiosity and surprise.
"Teacher, please wait a moment!"
After Ren Surong finished speaking, she went to the second floor to look for Du Chen’s published works.
"Here, teacher, these are all articles that were originally published individually in magazines. These were later compiled and published in a collection. You can take a look!"
Ren Surong proudly handed the magazines and books in her hands to her class teacher. Since moving to the city, she was not familiar with the neighbors around her, and she didn't have many other close friends in the city. She had no one to show off to. Now that she had this opportunity, Ren Surong felt enlightened from head to toe.
"Hey, Du Chen, you're so amazing, why don't you ever tell me?"
The head teacher looked at the magazine in his hand and asked Du Chen with mixed feelings. He didn't know how to persuade Du Chen to participate in the New Year's Eve party. It seemed that he could only tell the truth to the leaders and let them worry about it. He had no other ideas at all.
"Wife, I'm back!"
Comrade Lao Du broke the silence in the store with a word.
"Old Du, this is Du Chen's homeroom teacher!"
As soon as Ren Surong saw Comrade Lao Du coming back, he hurriedly introduced him to Comrade Lao Du.
"Hello, teacher!"
Comrade Lao Du said hello, but he glanced at Du Chen. Du Chen immediately understood Comrade Lao Du's look - what have you done again?
"Hello, Du Chen's father! Sorry to bother you!"
The head teacher also quickly stood up and greeted Comrade Lao Du.
"Teacher, has Du Chen gotten into trouble? We'd better bother you to come over and tell us directly so we can go to school!"
As soon as Comrade Lao Du opened his mouth, Du Chen rolled his eyes. It seemed that his father didn't trust him at all.
"Dad Du Chen, that's not the case. You misunderstood..."
The head teacher quickly spoke to Comrade Lao Du, and Ren Surong on the side also quickly explained to Comrade Lao Du the reason why the head teacher came over.
"Oh, is that so..."
