"Didn't they mention a pay raise?"
"No!" Du Guoying answered truthfully.
"So what did he say?" Kevin asked curiously.
Du Guoying was also angry at this moment. As a newcomer, she was being forced to ask the boss about such a thing. Wasn't this just asking for trouble? She said, "President Lu said, go to hell!"
"Huh?" Kevin on the other end of the phone was stunned by the scolding.
"It wasn't me who insulted you, it was President Lu who did." Du Guoying's expression carried a hint of mischievousness. Lu Feng had indeed said it, but he hadn't relayed the earlier part of the statement. Du Guoying didn't believe he would dare to go to President Lu himself to ask.
Kevin was so angry he was practically spitting fire. He grunted, said "Okay," and hung up the phone.
"I owe you a favor, but you haven't always been using me as a pawn." Du Guoying put down the phone with a hint of victory in her expression.
The next day, Lu Feng woke up at 6:30 in the morning, changed into a suit, but then thought it was too formal, so he changed into casual clothes.
This was his first time attending a parent-teacher conference in both his previous lives, and he was quite excited, especially since he would get to see Jiang Xiaoyan in person.
After changing three outfits, I finally chose a gray casual suit and went downstairs to rush to school around 7 a.m.
During the first period of school, the classrooms were filled with the sound of reading aloud. When Lu Feng arrived at the door, the old man recognized him at a glance and exclaimed, "Zhonghua, you're here again?"
Lu Feng seemed somewhat embarrassed, and the old man was even more embarrassed.
"I'm here for the parent-teacher conference." Lu Feng patted his shoulder, realizing he didn't have any cigarettes on him, and said, "Next time, next time!"
"It's alright, we're here to serve the parents, not to get a few packs of good cigarettes from you. This is a good school, it's very strict." The old man opened the door and said, "Go in, the child's mother just went in."
"Thank you!" Lu Feng said politely and walked towards the classroom.
When Lu Feng entered the classroom, he saw four or five teachers standing on the podium, and a large group of parents were already sitting inside. As soon as Lu Feng entered, Jiang Xiaoyan's eyes were immediately fixed on him.
"Dad, over here!" Duoduo waved to Lu Feng from the middle seat.
Jiang Xiaoyan seemed somewhat at a loss, her heart racing. She licked her lips and asked Duoduo, "Did you call him?"
"I don't!"
Lu Feng walked over, pulled up a small stool and sat down, looking at Jiang Xiaoyan and saying, "You seem a bit tired lately, you should get some rest."
"It's alright, it's fine. You've been quite busy lately?"
"It's just so-so!"
The two seemed a little reserved as they spoke, while Duoduo was indescribably happy, holding one of them with one hand and her face full of smiles.
"All the parents are here. I called you all here today to discuss one thing: the midterm exam results from last semester. As I've said before, educating children is not just the school's responsibility; it requires the cooperation of parents. This is evident from the results."
"Zhou Yang did very well on the last exam because his family made sure he did his homework after he got home..."
Parent-teacher meetings are nothing more than the same things, and they will remain unchanged from now until decades from now. Schools blame parents, and parents blame schools, with the two sides going back and forth in a tug-of-war.
"Also, I want to emphasize that some parents have reported that Lu Duoduo was selling things. The school strictly prohibits this, and there have even been cases where she borrowed money from other students to buy things outside the school and then resold them..."
Duoduo looked up at Lu Feng and said, "Dad, that was fundraising. They said they'd use it for five days, but they asked me for the money the very next day."
Lu Feng patted her little head and said, "That's called loan withdrawal, so private loans won't work. You have to borrow from someone with money. If you borrowed from your teacher, this wouldn't have happened, right?"
Jiang Xiaoyan got a little angry, reached out and slapped Lu Feng, glaring at him and saying, "You're still going to teach me?"
Several parents in the class looked at Lu Feng. As the parent-teacher meeting ended, a burly man walked over and said, "Duo Duo's parent, my child bought a pencil case for eight yuan. This thing only costs fifty cents. Before, he and your wife..."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it!" Lu Feng hurriedly took out money from his pocket.
After losing over a hundred yuan, the homeroom teacher wanted to call the couple to the office for a talk. Duoduo said to Lu Feng, "Dad, that's money I earned, why are you losing it?"
"Oh? This is called 'covering up the mess'!" Lu Feng sighed.
