Chapter 842 Private High School? I have one.
As a student, being invited to dinner by the president was something that could not be refused, even for Zhou Anan, a low-key student who earned millions a day.
It took Zhou Anan ten minutes to get to the school cafeteria. She sighed at the low-key (stingy) principal's treat and walked into Box No. 1, where she saw two familiar faces.
One was naturally Dean Shi, with whom Zhou Anan had a deep teacher-student relationship. The other was President Liang, with whom she had had two close contacts. The third was an elegant middle-aged man in his fifties with black hair and silver-rimmed glasses. Zhou Anan did not know him and it seemed like this was the first time they met.
"Principal, Dean, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
While looking at the few people, Zhou Anan, as a student, did not forget to greet and apologize to them, fully demonstrating his junior status as a student.
Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue in China. It would be impolite to keep several teachers waiting for a long time.
"Come on, we are all waiting for you."
Seeing his student, Shi Mingdi stood up with a smile and eased the atmosphere by introducing the well-maintained middle-aged man: "Principal Liang, I won't introduce him. This is a well-known alumnus of our school, Cheng Lingshu, the vice president of Jiangda. You can call him senior brother."
"Hello, Senior Brother Cheng."
After hearing Dean Shi's introduction, Zhou Anan took advantage of the situation and used the title to bring the two closer together.
The vice president of Jiang University is considered a senior figure in the education community of Jiang Province. With the relationship with alumni, it will definitely be beneficial to build good relationships with them.
"Junior Brother Zhou, nice to meet you."
Cheng Lingshu shook hands cordially with the junior fellow and responded to the other party's greeting with a smile on his face. A few obvious wrinkles appeared at the corners of his originally fair eyes.
His politeness surprised Principal Liang and Dean Shi.
"An An, I am hosting this dinner today to thank you for your great contribution to the school."
After chatting for a while, Principal Liang, the host, began to talk about the reason for today's dinner.
In his more than 20 years of teaching, this was the first time that he had taken the initiative to privately invite students to dinner at school. It was really because the other party's contribution was too great.
Just two days ago, the document changing the name of Haizhou College to 'Haizhou University' was officially issued, and this year's senior students' graduation certificates were fortunately given a more prestigious title.
And all this is thanks to the junior student in front of me.
Who could have expected that the goal that dozens of famous alumni of Haizhou College had been working towards would be achieved by a junior fellow student who had not yet graduated.
"You are so kind, Principal. I am just doing what I can."
Zhou Anan felt a little embarrassed listening to the president's praise for her career and sense of responsibility.
There was nothing wrong with the contribution of his training department to improving the school's employment rate, so Zhou Anan shamelessly accepted it, but the rest was a bit exaggerated.
Fortunately, the principal did not brag about her academic performance, otherwise Zhou Anan would have to drink a few more glasses to cover up her expression.
Apart from those internet-addicted teenagers who refuse to take their final exams, Zhou Anan has the highest leave rate among normal students, no doubt about it.
Thanks to the relaxed environment of Haizhou University, a second-tier university, if it were one of the 985 or 211 key universities, a student like him who slacked off for four days and cast his nets for one day would have been persuaded to drop out and go home to farm long ago.
"Junior Brother Zhou is too modest. By the way, I have a position at the School of Economics. You will be a senior in the second half of the year. Are you interested in studying for a master's and doctorate degree here?"
After Principal Liang finished praising his junior, Cheng Lingshu smiled and invited him, as if what he was talking about was just a trivial matter.
"Lao Cheng, I was thinking that our school would open a graduate program in the future, and I would let An An continue to study with me. Now that you've brought it up, I feel embarrassed to say it."
After hearing Cheng Lingshu's words, Shi Mingdi on the side suppressed his surprise and joked, signaling with his eyes that this favorite student should agree quickly.
Given Cheng Lingshu's status in the education circle of Jiang Province, there are countless people who beg to become his students, so this invitation is of great significance.
It is possible that this alumnus will become an official after excelling in teaching and take a more brilliant step forward. As his student, Zhou Anan will definitely benefit greatly from this.
Although he really wanted this favorite student to continue to be his graduate student, Shi Mingdi was well aware of the gap between the two and did not want to hinder the other's future.
Even if Zhou Anan does not want to pursue a career in politics, becoming a student of this alumnus will give her a bigger stage in finance in the future.
Given this student's current achievements, the Haizhou University platform is not enough to provide him with greater support.
"Brother, if I become your graduate student, will my generation become smaller?"
Zhou Anan clearly received the message conveyed by Dean Shi's eyes, but she calmly made a joke.
The wealth he possesses today has far exceeded what he imagined when he was reborn. He does not need a graduate or doctoral degree to increase his status.
If he could really become a graduate student or doctoral student at Jiangnan University, his parents would definitely be very happy, and it would also help him expand his network to some extent.
In addition, it sounds good to say it out loud, especially when you go out to brag to those second-generation people in the future. You can use your high academic level to suppress the low-level students, which makes you feel proud.
"It's alright, let's talk about our own things. If you really become my student, I won't bother you too much. Just complete the necessary graduation thesis."
In this regard, Cheng Lingshu was very open-minded, and his impression of this junior fellow apprentice also increased a bit.
With such a mentality, it is no wonder that he can achieve such brilliant achievements at such a young age.
Cheng Lingshu, who had received a call from a classmate before and learned about the hidden identity of his junior fellow student for the first time, naturally did not think that the other party was trying to get ahead of himself.
If those old acquaintances in Beijing knew that my junior brother has not yet graduated, I guess they would take the initiative to send him to graduate school and enroll him in doctoral programs to increase their own foundation.
"Brother, I offer you a toast."
Seeing that the other party was so polite, Zhou Anan did not know what was good for her and took the initiative to toast the other party.
"I was wondering why Lao Cheng came here for no reason. It turns out he's here to snatch students. So, let me add icing on the cake. An An, do you want to graduate early and become one of the first graduates of Haizhou University?"
Seeing Cheng Lingshu accepting a student, Principal Liang smiled and gave the student a big gift.
Although the other party's academic performance is not that outstanding, it is still possible for him to graduate early.
Excellent students can always get special treatment.
"Thank you, Principal. I still want to stay in our school for a while longer."
Faced with this tempting proposal, Zhou Anan politely declined.
What's the good of starting graduate school a year earlier? Anyway, he is feeling quite comfortable studying at Haizhou University.
He doesn't have to worry about taking leave, and can relive the feeling of studying. He has a girlfriend to accompany him to school, so he can study happily.
Most importantly, he still has an important goal to achieve.
"Solid and steady, good."
As a direct teacher, Shi Mingdi praised him and showed his presence.
There was no way. Although he was the head of a college, his qualifications were a little weak in front of his immediate superior and the vice-president of Jiang University.
After a cultured exchange of wine and compliments, this quality dinner ended with everyone feeling satisfied.
After drinking a few small glasses of white wine, Zhou Anan also felt a little dizzy and her cheeks were hot.
"An An, let's take a walk."
Zhou Anan, who was about to take a walk to meet his girlfriend, stopped when he heard Dean Shi's call.
"The teacher is in a good mood today."
Looking at Dean Shi’s rosy face, Zhou Anan joked.
"When you get older, you tend to get drunk easily after drinking. You young people are better, full of energy and vitality..."
Walking first towards the cobblestone path on campus, Shi Mingdi casually chatted about interesting things in life.
When the students passing by saw this ruthless and impartial devil of failing exams, they all bowed their heads cautiously to greet him, and then ran away, their eyes unable to help but glance at the classmate who could chat freely with the devil.
Shi Mingdi, who was already used to this, didn't care at all. Instead, he said to the student next to him in a self-deprecating way: "Do the students in your class think I'm unkind?"
"No, the teacher is just strict with us."
Zhou Anan answered this question very honestly.
In his previous life, when he failed an exam under the other person's guidance, he did blame the other person for marking the key points of an entire biology book, more than 400 pages, before the final exam, but it made no difference whether the key points were marked or not.
After graduating and entering society, when she met with other classmates and heard others talk about how they were warmly received by Dean Shi when they returned to school for business, Zhou Anan no longer had any complaints in her heart.
Compared with other key undergraduate colleges, the graduation requirements of second-tier colleges are too relaxed, which makes students lose their goals.
Being strict with students in a relaxed environment is something that most students find offensive.
Dean Shi simply uses his unique persistence to impart intangible things to his students, and this has lasted for many years.
"Haha, only you, a student who is given special care by me, would say that."
Shi Mingdi nodded a few times, not feeling embarrassed at all for showing favoritism, and smiled and changed the subject: "You stay in our school, do you want to fight for a special channel for school enrollment for your training department?"
Shi Mingdi, who was quite concerned about the training department of this favorite student, naturally did some research.
Today, Zhuangyuan Education, which is the leader in Haizhou's extracurricular tutoring industry, has the channel advantage of Haizhou Foreign Language for primary school students to enter junior high school, and its own unique Zhuangyuan class for the senior high school entrance examination, which is very attractive to students and their parents.
The only thing that is missing from the high school department is the limited enrollment and no notable performance, which is the shortcoming of the entire training institution.
No matter what, Haizhou University is a second-tier university with a good reputation in Haizhou. It is not surprising that this student has this idea.
"Teacher, can you guess this?"
Raising her eyebrows, Zhou Anan did not reject the other party's unfounded guess.
Zhou Anan had indeed thought of this idea when she was at the table earlier, but she quickly rejected it.
After Haizhou College was renamed Haizhou University, and with the possibility of adding a graduate program, its value has increased a lot, and it is naturally more attractive to parents of high school students.
If Zhuangyuan Education has a special direct admission channel to Haizhou University, it will definitely be a hot spot to attract ordinary students to sign up.
But after thinking about it, as an institution of higher learning, Haizhou University, which does not have the right to recruit students independently, would never open this channel, so Zhou Anan gave up the delusion.
"Even if our school changes its name, it won't be very attractive to you now. I thought about it and the only thing that might help you is this. However, your idea is difficult to realize, after all, you only have an extracurricular training class. If you have a private high school, you may be able to cooperate with the school and open an experimental class to realize the possibility of special recruitment."
Shi Mingdi did not hide anything from this favorite student, and helped him analyze this possibility thoroughly.
However, no matter how bad a private high school is, it cannot be built with just some money. The energy and time consumed are by no means a simple number.
"I have a private high school."
