"Good, good! You didn't embarrass yourselves at all. Please sit down, I'll go get some water."
"Please sit down, don't bother with anything else. Where's Teacher Chen Sheng?"
"I'll go call him. You two sit for a while."
Zhang Shouyi had accompanied Zhang Hongmei here once before, so they knew each other.
“Brother Zhang, the school is still the same as before. When I have money, I will donate it to build new buildings for the school.”
"Hehe, whatever you want." Zhang Shouyi certainly wouldn't object. What's wrong with building a few more schools if his wife is willing?
Within five minutes, Chen Sheng and the principal arrived.
Hello, teacher!
"Good, good! You're all grown up now."
"Yes, I've grown up."
From then on, it was a three-person question-and-answer session, and the atmosphere was particularly good.
Zhang Shouyi listened quietly to the entire presentation with a gentle smile.
Chen Sheng had been observing him closely, her mind filled with astonishment. She had once glimpsed a profile of a leader in a newspaper and felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him before, but couldn't quite place him. Now, seeing him in person, she finally understood.
This is what leadership is all about! Zhang Hongmei's husband is a leader.
However, Chen Sheng still behaved quite well and did not make any inappropriate expressions.
After chatting for about half an hour, Zhang Hongmei decided to leave quickly, as it was almost time for dinner. She was starving, the kind of starving that makes you want to tear your hair out.
"Principal, teachers, this is a cashmere coat I brought back for each of you from abroad. It's very warm. There are also some foreign candies for Grandma and Auntie. And here are some pens for you two. I wish you all success in nurturing countless students."
"Hehe, that's great! This pen is excellent! It's a gold pen." The principal chuckled as he held the pen.
Chen Sheng wanted to take a photo with his superiors, but he also knew that his superiors almost never took photos and he had never seen a picture of his face in the newspapers.
Zhang Hongmei noticed Chen Sheng's hesitation. "Is there something you need, teacher?"
"Zhang Hongmei, is this the leader?"
Zhang Shouyi stood up and smiled. "I am Zhang Shouyi."
The principal was still sitting there smiling. Actually, he already knew after seeing the photo in the newspaper last time, but he was with his wife and certainly didn't want to reveal his identity.
I didn't expect Chen Sheng to be so impatient.
Chen Sheng rubbed his hands together excitedly. "Boss, could I take a picture with you two? I have a camera at home."
Zhang Shouyi nodded, "Principal, let's go together."
"That's great." An unexpected bonus.
Chen Sheng is almost fifty years old, but he still jogged to his dormitory to get his camera. He even changed his clothes when he came back.
Xiao Li was in charge of taking the photos. He was holding Chen Sheng's camera. "Madam, we have a camera."
"Okay, go get it."
"Teacher, shall we take a picture in front of the sign at the school gate?"
"Okay, let's go there."
After taking the photos, Zhang Hongmei didn't want to go inside anymore. "Principal, teachers, we'll leave now. I'll come back to see you later."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
"By the way, Principal, do we have enough classrooms at our school?"
"Currently, each class has fifty students. We have already submitted a report to our superiors and are preparing to expand the school."
“Then I’ll donate. I’ll pay for the school expansion. I’ll find someone to take charge of it. After all, this place nurtured me. I’ll invest in some projects abroad, and when I make money, I’ll use it to give back to the school.”
"Hongmei, you should keep your money for yourself."
"Hehe, teacher, you don't need to worry. Just wait for the person in charge to come find you. I'll have them bring the photos over."
The principal just chuckled. This was a good thing for Zhang Hongmei, the school leadership, and the school itself. He might have lost money, but he gained reputation, which wasn't bad. So he didn't refuse at all.
"By the way, teacher, could you please tell Liu Aidang and Liu Sanya that I'll pick them up after school and we can go home together?"
"Okay, I'll pass on the message for you." After that, the principal and Chen Sheng shook hands with Zhang Shouyi and said goodbye.
The two got into the car and left, while Chen Sheng and the principal returned to their office.
"Principal, if you don't object, is it because you want Zhang Hongmei to gain fame?"
"Yes. This will be good for her in the future. Besides, Zhang Hongmei shouldn't be short of money. A house in Liujiatun Village is a big deal."
“This kid always spends so much money every time he comes over,” Chen Sheng said, changing the subject.
"That means they care about us."
"Yes! I never thought that I, Chen Sheng, would produce a national champion and still receive so many visits from my students."
"This is your achievement. Your life of teaching has been worthwhile. Two students from the capital's universities, and two more from other universities in the capital. This alone is enough for you to boast about for the rest of your life."
"That's right. Our school's reputation was built on the efforts of three students from the capital university."
The two became increasingly happy as they talked. Teachers are human too, and they also value their reputation.
"Principal, is our school being expanded or newly built?"
"Let's expand! This is a geomantically auspicious place, how can we touch it?"
"Heh, you actually believe in this?"
"Why don't you believe me? It's just that the second-year high school students might be affected. I wonder when Zhang Hongmei will send someone over? If it's early, we'll schedule it for the summer vacation. We have to send these second-year high school students away at least. We can't let good talents go to waste."
"Yes, Liujiatun will produce two more outstanding college students next year."
"Principal, do you think Liujiatun has good feng shui?"
"Very likely."
"Alright, I'm going to the cafeteria now."
"Take your things. Let me tell you, this pen is a gold pen. I've wanted to buy it for a long time, but I didn't expect someone to give it to me as a gift."
Chen Sheng deliberately clipped his pen to his shirt pocket, picked up his things, and headed back to his dormitory. Class was over. He'd better hurry and watch the students eat.
Chen Sheng found Liu Aidang, a first-year high school student, in the cafeteria. "Zhang Hongmei came to school today. She asked me to tell you two that she will come to pick you up after school this afternoon so you can go home together."
"Teacher, are you talking about your student Zhang Hongmei?"
Chen Sheng was amused. "Are there any other Zhang Hongmeis?"
"Hehe, that's great, my sister Hongmei is back." Shi Tou put down his chopsticks and went to find San Ya.
"Sister Hongmei is back. She came to pick us up after school today."
"real?"
"It's true, Teacher Chen told me."
"Haha, that's great! It's been over three years since I've seen Sister Hongmei." Sanya is quite pretty; she combines all the best features of Liu Maocai and his wife, making her much prettier than Daya and Erya. So when she smiled, many boys secretly glanced at her.
"Brother, let's pack our bags in a bit, and then we'll wait for Sister Hongmei outside after school."
"OK."
