"Because he's steady and reliable?"
"Okay, you can make suggestions at the meeting. Alright, go to class now. I'll let you know when we start language lessons, but be prepared to work hard."
"Hehe, I've endured all kinds of hardships as the vice chairman. Don't worry, once I've made up my mind, I won't give up halfway."
"Okay, I trust you. Our finance team will have a meeting tomorrow at noon, and I will hand over my work there."
"yes."
When Zhang Hongmei returned home that evening, she was surprised to find Zhang Shouyi there.
"It's rare to see someone so busy arrive earlier than me today."
"Hehe, I had to come early, I'm going to deliver meat today."
Zhang Hongmei slapped her forehead; she had really forgotten.
"You two eat first, then we'll go later."
Dinner was seafood porridge. Wang Xinyi's cooking skills were no worse than those of a professional chef. Zhang Hongmei ate two bowls, which made Wang Xinyi frown.
After finishing their meal, they loaded five large bowls of braised pork and two bowls of braised offal into the car and set off.
"Hongmei, let's put it away for now. We'll go for a walk and then head back."
"Brother Zhang, when will the teacher arrive?"
"Next Monday, the school will arrange the dormitories. Your principal is really cunning. Maybe your school will be able to open foreign language classes in the future."
"Hehe, that old man is shrewd."
“Hongmei, I’ve discussed it with Ms. Wang, and she will accompany you to the United States. I’m worried about you having no one to take care of you, and Chengzi, whom Old Master Gu arranged, will also be with you.”
"No, thank you. Wang Xinyi understands the language there and can come along. As for Chengzi, forget it."
“You can’t reason with me about this; Old Master Gu is very insistent.”
Zhang Hongmei leaned back weakly. "Fine, I'll take them with me then. I'm going there to learn. This is both a nanny and a bodyguard. Now I'm even thinking of backing out."
"We're relieved that someone is taking care of you. My dad doesn't know yet. He'd probably be furious if he found out."
"Hehe. I'll go see him during summer vacation and talk to him."
"You won't get anything good out of him either."
"Brother Zhang, the expenses are covered by the government, right? Our school held a meeting this afternoon, I wonder if they can keep our student records?"
"Don't worry, there won't be any problem. Have you decided on someone?"
“It’s not completely settled yet. Cheng Guangxu is going, but Liang Yongmin also wants to go. I’m afraid it will affect his family, so I’m letting him handle it himself. I don’t want a situation where his wife and children are torn apart. If Liang Yongmin really does that, it would be too disappointing.”
You're overthinking it.
Zhang Shouyi got out of the car, leaned against the side, lit a cigarette, and stared blankly at the sky.
Seeing Zhang Shouyi's bewildered expression, Zhang Hongmei had no choice but to get out of the car as well. "Brother Zhang, what's wrong?"
Zhang Shouyi threw away his cigarette and stubbed it out. "Hongmei, Zhou Yuanqing is with Datou. Now that the curfew has been lifted, he'll probably be leaving in the next few days."
"I want to go with them."
Why risk your life?
"Brother Zhang, I really want to go."
"Okay, let's wait until he leaves before we go."
"No need, I can manage by myself. Don't bother you."
"No, I'm fine."
“How could nothing be wrong? Your every move is being watched. This isn’t something that can be accomplished in a day, unless he doesn’t go to Liujiatun.”
“Alright, I’ll find a way to keep him from going to Liujiatun. Wait for my news. You probably can’t do it yourself, since I have a lot of questions to ask him.”
"Alright. I wouldn't dare do it myself, just let me know the result."
“Zhang Hongmei, I can’t bear to see you leave. My dad won’t be back for two or three years, and you’ll be even further away, leaving me all alone again.”
"Then you should hurry up and get married, then things will be fine."
Zhang Shouyi didn't say anything, but got into the car, leaving Zhang Hongmei standing there dumbfounded. What had she said that offended the big shot again? She's really hard to please.
The two returned to Xinyuan in silence, and Zhang Shouyi also left.
Zhang Hongmei shrugged and went to Wang Xinyi's room.
"Aunt Wang, can you teach me Y language? You know we're going abroad, so this is my preparation in advance."
“Okay, I’ll teach you every night. It’s not actually that difficult. I spent some time in the US when I was young, so my pronunciation is pretty standard.”
Wang Xinyi didn't finish teaching until 11 o'clock. Teaching students like this is truly fulfilling.
Zhang Hongmei was also pleased; Wang Xinyi's pronunciation was very standard. She could perform better so she could learn faster and go abroad during the summer vacation.
The next day, after they finished practicing Tai Chi, they reviewed the sentences they had learned the previous day while eating.
Wang Xinyi was overjoyed; the pronunciation was standard and the memory was clear.
Gu Chuanming didn't understand these things, but listening to the two chattering away, Hongmei didn't flinch or show any fear, which was exactly how it should be. Only intelligent people like this can give birth to even more intelligent next generations.
As soon as he entered the school, he was surrounded by several students. "Zhang, vice president, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to only think about your own class when there are good things to be had?" a middle-aged woman in her thirties said.
Zhang Hongmei didn't say anything, she just stared at them. It was good that none of them were from her class.
"What's wrong? The vice chairman has nothing to say."
"Yes, you're the vice president of the student council, shouldn't you set an example?"
Zhang Hongmei suddenly propped up her bicycle, startling the four people, who all took a step back.
"Don't worry, even if there's something good, you won't get a share. What else is there?"
"You're too arrogant. We're mobilizing our classmates to impeach you."
"The principal's office is over there, and the student council is over there. Take care," Zhang Hongmei said, pointing in two directions.
"You, you, you're too arrogant."
"Get out of here. If you don't have the strength, don't be someone's pawn."
The four people looked at each other, then turned and left.
This made Zhang Hongmei a little upset; the score was just too low, it was ridiculous.
When Zhang Hongmei arrived at the classroom, Liang Yongmin came over and said, "Class monitor, I can't go."
Zhang Hongmei looked at the disheartened Liang Yongmin without saying a word.
“I called home, but my wife disagreed.”
"Liang, you must be responsible. Especially for men, your family is your responsibility, so you must shoulder it. Don't be discouraged. Going abroad may be more difficult. In China, you have opportunities for development. As long as you put your heart into it and work hard, it's all a chance."
Liang Yongmin returned to his seat dejectedly, it's unclear whether he had listened to anything.
Zhang Hongmei slumped over her desk, starting to write her resignation letter and notification. She needed to see things through properly and quickly hand over her responsibilities; she still had a lot to do.
Wei Huaqiang looked at Zhang Hongmei's application and said, "Squad leader, you'll lose a lot too, won't you?"
"Hehe. Didn't I say there are gains and losses? It all depends on how you look at it."
