Chapter 8 Call me Wang Ergou
It's the weekend.
Hai Yueming was tidying up her things in the office and preparing to go back to her home in the city after work. That's when his phone rang. "Hello!" his pleasant voice sounded, warm and polite, and very professional.
"I'm John, why are you so formal! Is there an arrangement for the evening? Come to my house for coffee?" John Wang's casual, hearty and domineering voice came from the phone.
"Oh, Wang Bo is good! No, no, it's too far. I'm still in school. Hai Yueming refused without hesitation.
"Old classmate, don't 'burn' me, you still call me 'Wang Ergou'. "The Dongzhou dialect 'hot' means to make fun of him, calling him Wang Bo, making John Wang feel that Hai Yueming is making fun of him, a former scumbag. John Wang's nickname when he was in school was 'Wang Ergou', and he was the second in the family, and when his classmates came to his house to play, they heard his family call him that, so they called him Wang Ergou. There is an ancient custom in the local area, it is said that children are born with a cheap name called easy to grow up.
"Good! The two names were called differently, and one day they were announced in the school, and everyone called them that. "Of course, Hai Yueming is just talking, scaring and scaring King John. Sooner or later, however, the nickname will spread among the school's teachers.
"Come here, I'll arrange for the driver to pick you up. John Wang continued.
"No, I'm not going unless you pick it up yourself. Hai Yueming still refused, he thought that John Wang would not insist on saying this, giving each other an excuse. After a full week of classes, Hai Yueming felt a little tired, and he could take a good rest when he returned to his home in the city on the weekend.
"Good! I'll pick you up. Ten minutes to arrive. Wait for me at the school gate. Unexpectedly, John Wang readily agreed. It turned out that he was on his way home, and it was not very far to take a detour to pick up Hai Yueming from school.
In this case, Hai Yueming no longer insisted, otherwise it would be too outward, after all, he is an old classmate who has known him for many years.
John Wang's luxury car was parked on the side of the road a few hundred meters away from the school, just like last time. Low-key is Hai Yueming's style.
John Wang took Hai Yueming to his new home---- a mansion located in a high-end residential area in the city, located in the Blue City Plaza on the edge of the Dongjiang River in Dongzhou City. It is said that the highest house prices here are more than 100,000 yuan per square meter, and John Wang's home is located on the top floor, the 50th and 51st floors of the building, covering an area of more than 1,500 square meters. This is just one of John Wang's many properties in Eastern State. Although Hai Yueming is also a person who has traveled south and north to see the world, and entering John Wang's house is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, I only feel dazzled.
Before the nanny at home arrived, John Wang made his own coffee.
"Yueming, try my coffee, Malaysia's cat poop coffee, this is my first time using this coffee machine, you are the first guest to taste the coffee I brewed. ”
"Thank you! Wang Ergou, your home is so luxurious! Hai Yueming changed his words and stopped calling him Wang Bo.
"That's it, there are a thousand rooms, and it's not a bed at night. John Wang easily said a word.
"By the way, in such a big mansion, why don't you see the hostess?" asked Hai Yueming casually. Hai Yue heard that John Wang's wife was a big beauty early in the morning, and she seemed to be a classmate in the next class in middle school.
"The house has been renovated and hasn't been moved over yet. Let's talk about that another day. John Wang deliberately diverted the subject. "How's school going these days? I've heard that at the beginning of the school year, there were people who staged a sit-in on the school campus to protest against the change of class teacher and class teacher this semester?"
Hai Yueming knew that John Wang wanted to learn about the situation of the school through him, so he deliberately angered him, "You can ask the doctoral principal you hired about the situation of the school?" Why are you asking me?"
"Of course I'm going to ask you. You are my eyes!" replied John Wang.
"That's not going to work. I don't do your eyes. Hai Yueming refused.
"Why not, I'm going to have to help your old classmate! John Wang asked.
"Why? There aren't so many whys. Hai Yueming smiled and said, "Because you are the second dog of the king, be your eyes?" Aren't you going to make dog eyes? I don't want to be dog-eyed. As he spoke, Hai Yueming laughed.
John Wang also laughed out loud.
Hai Yueming said that he didn't want to be John Wang's eyes, but he still naturally talked about what he saw and heard at school, after all, he was a classmate, not to mention that it seemed too unrighteous.
In the past few days, the protesting class has quieted down, the parents have paid the school fees, and the students have gone to school. Among them, the leaders of all levels of the school have done a lot of work.
The work of the new semester has been carried out in an orderly manner.
The topic naturally comes to the mobility of teachers. "Recently, there has been a lot of turnover among some teachers, and it seems that they are arguing with the school when they leave or transfer!" Hai Yueming wanted to continue, but was immediately interrupted by John Wang.
"Don't take these teachers for their word. They are all Diao. These teachers are very rude, especially those outsiders, they are all unruly, they will make trouble if they can't achieve their goals, and if they continue like this, they will all be dismissed next time. John Wang went on and on, and it was clear that he had a preconceived view of the school's teachers. "I'm not going to be as weak as the previous boss of the school, how to make trouble with the teachers, and someone will go to the principal's office to lift the principal's desk. It's like eating leopard gall. ”
Hai Yueming heard John Wang's tone, of course, he didn't want to say anything, and the scene was a little embarrassing. Hai Yueming knew that John Wang had always been a very strong and subjective person, and when he ran a business in the past, he was even more dominant, and he couldn't tolerate other people's justifications and other people's objections.
"The most critical problem now is the school's admission rate, and none of the city's key high schools that graduated in the first half of the year have been launched, and if this problem is not solved, enrollment will be very problematic. John Wang continued to speak, at least in Hai Yueming's opinion, he felt that he was listening to the leader's speech.
"Oh. Hai Yueming responded to listening to him, and was already absent-minded in his heart. At this point, he remembered the rule he had set for himself before coming to school, not to say a word, not to take one more step.
Don't be your eyes.
Hai Yueming was thinking about how long she would stay in this school? How long will you stay in Dongzhou?
John Wang continued to babble. Hai Yueming was really a little impatient to listen, and he was too embarrassed to interrupt him, but his thoughts were already soaring into space. He wondered in his heart, with a net worth like John Wang, there was no need to rely on education to make money, so why bother to go to the troubled waters of a private school? Is it because of the debt owed to him by the former owner of the school? To take over the school with this problem?
The coffee in Hai Yueming's cup had just finished drinking at this time, and John Wang stopped the topic and got up to refill the cup for him.
"Wang Ergou, is this the first school you run?
"yes, if I run a school, I'll do the best. It's the same with running a business, and my business is the best in Dongzhou. John Wang said proudly.
"Can you save some snacks? You see, that Hong Kong star Louis Koo also invested in running a school, and he has run 105 hope schools, and he doesn't bother you so much. Do you have the heart to run more schools, and how good do you want the school to be?" said Hai Yueming jokingly.
Hai Yueming always wondered, did John Wang really want to dedicate himself to education or the purpose of profit? He didn't want to ask or think about it anymore. Whatever?
At least he knew that John Wang was very ambitious, and he had such an indomitable spirit and perseverance in doing things, which was also a fundamental reason for his success. And, of course, the time in which he lived and the personal opportunities. When others were still in school, John Wang started his own business after graduating from junior high school and dug up the first pot of gold in his life.
John Wang did not answer positively whether he would invest in the establishment of a Hope School. "Once I'm up and running this school, I'm going to run a few more schools. Don't do it, what will my king John do?
Be sure to be the best, be the biggest. John Wang is full of confidence in the future of the establishment of educational institutions.
In Hai Yueming's opinion, John Wang is really addicted to education.
