Chapter Seventy-Five: The Leader's Visit
"Why did you come here so early?"
Hearing Aunt Wang Wanrong's question, Zhang Baobao turned around, but did not answer.
Wang Wanrong looked Zhang Baobao up and down, and immediately reacted, "You, have you been here all this since yesterday?"
"Hmm. ”
Zhang Baobao nodded, his movements were very light and weak, it may have something to do with not resting well last night, or it may be the reason why he didn't eat for a day, in short, Zhang Baobao's expression looked very tired.
"Goo-goo-goo......"
Before he could speak, his stomach began to rumble again.
"Hey"
Wang Wanrong didn't say anything more, she knew that it would be useless to persuade Zhang Baobao now. But empathy, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child faced such a difficult situation, and his only relative fell, the blow in his heart must have been very huge.
Wang Wanrong silently turned around and left, and after a short time, she came back with a lunch box in her hand.
"Come on, let's eat something first? It's useless for you to starve yourself to death? Besides, you're starving, who's going to take care of your grandmother?"
Wang Wanrong's words are both gentle and reasonable, and she really deserves to be a woman with high emotional intelligence, who knows how to comfort others and how to make others feel better.
Zhang Baobao couldn't refuse, took the lunch box and gobbled up all the breakfast into his stomach.
"Slow down, eat slowly. ”
Aunt Wang Wanrong, who was sitting next to her, looked at the embarrassed Zhang Baobao, and suddenly felt an indescribable pity. They are all hard-working people.
At this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor.
"Bang ......"
Zhang Baobao and Wang Wanrong both frowned, who is it early in the morning?
Listening to the sound, you can feel that there are not a few people coming, and they should all be men, Zhang Baobao can hear that this is the sound of men's leather shoes walking on the floor.
With so many people coming to the hospital so early in the morning, could it be something serious? Or is there some important leader who is also hospitalized in the ward on this floor? But it seems that it is a little too early to visit the patients, right?
Zhang Baobao shook his head, forget it, it has nothing to do with him anyway, it's useless to think so much.
In less than five breaths, four or five people came out of the hallway. Zhang Baobao only cared about eating the breakfast brought by Wang Wanrong, and didn't care about these people at all.
Unexpectedly, these people stopped when they walked to Zhang Baobao's side, and the sound of "clanging" leather shoes disappeared instantly, and the entire corridor was quiet again, surprisingly quiet.
Well?
Zhang Baobao raised his head suspiciously, and when he looked at the people, it was Director Zhang Yongxu who was standing at the front! Behind him, he was followed by Lao Ban Kangji, Principal Tian Youwen and Xu Wenshuo of the Municipal Education Bureau, the leading teacher who participated in the district competition!
This...... How did they know I was here? How did they know I was here?
"Zhang Baobao. ”
Zhang Yongxu, who was standing at the front, looked anxious, and said first, "Zhang Baobao, there is such a big thing in your family, why didn't you tell me on the phone yesterday!?"
Zhang Yongxu's voice was very anxious and dissatisfied.
"Director Zhang, how do you know I'm here?"
"Hmph. I also said that I was in a hurry when you hung up the phone yesterday, and rushed to your house to find you, but there was no one in your family, and I found out about your grandmother's hospitalization after asking the neighbors, I didn't dare to delay, and immediately reported this matter to the principal. No, they all came to you in a hurry early in the morning. I don't worry about you!"
"I'm sorry, Director Zhang, for worrying you. Zhang Baobao knew that Zhang Yongxu cared about him, so he was so anxious and hurriedly apologized.
"Hey. ”
Zhang Yongxu sighed, and Principal Tian Youwen behind him stepped forward and pushed Zhang Yongxu away, "Zhang Baobao, what difficulties do you have and tell the school, our Municipal Experimental Middle School will definitely do our best to help you." ”
"Thank you, Principal Tian. ”
Zhang Baobao lowered his head and thanked him, but his eyes never glanced at Principal Tian Youwen. Maybe it's not daring, maybe it's guilt, maybe it's deep self-blame for giving up the provincial competition of the Four Spirits.
"How's your grandma doing?"
Old Ban Kangji saw the gap between the speeches of several people and hurriedly asked.
"My grandmother is fine for the time being, but she needs surgery for treatment. "Zhang Baobao told the truth and didn't hide anything.
"Hey, there are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. But Zhang Baobao, don't worry too much, now that the medical level of Pearl Country is quite developed, your grandmother will definitely get better. Old Ban Kangji said kindly and persuasively.
"That's right, Zhang Baobao, you won the first place in the 'Xiaoyao Cup' regional competition, and you are now the hero of our Wufang City! Many middle schools are now using you as an example to publicize in the school! If you have any difficulties, you can say, I will report to the Gu Bureau. Xu Wenshuo said softly.
Can you help me?
Zhang Baobao couldn't help but have a question mark in his heart, in order to raise money, he went to the dragon pattern arena to participate in a life-gambling fight, which was a choice of desperation. If they could, who would want to go to that filthy place and fight each other like a wild beast in an iron cage, not hesitating to shed blood, even to the point of dying!
If they can help themselves, as Xu Wenshuo said, then they don't have to give up their dreams in order to raise money, then they can participate in the Four Spirits Competition again, win the provincial and even national competitions!
Can it really be?
"Me, can you really help me?" Zhang Baobao's words almost seemed like begging.
"Of course, as long as you say it, the school and the Education Bureau will do their best to help you, and you can rest assured of this. When the time comes, I will personally go to Director Gu. It's just that you still have to participate in the provincial competition! This is a big deal, no joke!"
Tian Youwen replied seriously, but his ultimate goal was to persuade Zhang Baobao to go back and continue to participate in the provincial competition! After all, this is the pride of the whole Wufang City! If he can still get a ranking in the provincial competition, then the Wufang City Experimental Middle School will be completely turned over, and it is a trivial matter to receive rewards, and the key is that the school's popularity will be greatly improved!
"Zhang Baobao, don't be afraid! If there is any difficulty, just say it!"
Looking at Zhang Baobao, who was in a dilemma, Principal Tian's face was firm, and he encouraged again.
"I need money now, grandma's surgery fee, yes, I need 2 million. The more Zhang Baobao spoke, the more he lost confidence, but his eyes still showed hope! After all, this is his own opportunity!
How much? 2 million?
The four of them were afraid that they had heard it wrong, but there was no one in the corridor in the early morning, the environment was very quiet, and the hearing of the four people had not deteriorated, how could they hear it wrong?
There was a quiet, deathly silence.
The four people who were still swearing just now are all dumb now. It's not that they don't want to help Zhang Baobao, it's just that this number, 2 million, is too big.
Principal Tian was like a fishbone stuck in his throat, his face turned red, and all the oaths and righteous words just now were gone!
2 million! It's like a mountain! It's beyond their reach!
It's not that they don't want to help, it's just that they're completely helpless. Take Tian Youwen, the principal, for example, his annual salary does not add up to more than 100,000, and this 2 million is what he can't save without eating or drinking for more than 20 years!
Who can go without eating or drinking for 20 years? Even if they don't eat or drink for a day, they can't stand it, not to mention that Principal Tian and his wife and children have a large family, where is there 2 million?
Not to mention Zhang Yongxu, Xu Wenshuo, and Kang Ji, they earn even less wages! I am afraid that they will not even be able to earn 50,000 yuan a year, and they will have to cut off their various food and drink expenses, where can they save money? Even if they sell themselves, they are not worth the 2 million!
Looking at the silence of everyone, Zhang Baobao already knew the answer in his heart.
