Chapter 9: Home Visits

Putting aside the eighth class of high school, Qin Yi is still quite popular in other classes. After all, he has a gentle personality and looks very handsome and temperamental, although he is the head teacher of the eighth class of high school, but he also teaches in the fourth class of high school and the sixth class of high school, and the students in these classes are not so rebellious in comparison, so they are very enthusiastic about his arrival.

In short, it is not a bad thing to have a group of obedient students.

But since he is not a class teacher, of course he has to give top priority to the class he leads.

After class, Qin Yi came downstairs to Zhang Yali's house after eating, ready to start today's home visit.

Since both parents are university professors, the conditions are relatively good, although it is not a villa area, but it is also a well-known rich area. The surrounding environment is very good, and the house types are all 18 to 200 large units, and the house prices have basically reached 780,000 square meters, and a house will cost tens of millions.

However, in fact, this place is very secluded, because the price is too high, and not everyone can afford to live in it, so not many houses have been sold.

Qin Yi came to the door of room 1603 and knocked on the door, and soon a woman answered inside, and then came to open the door. It should be Zhang Yali's mother Zhao Yuan who opened the door, about forty years old, Qin Yi observed the other party a little.

Wearing a decent loungewear, whether it is the style or color of the clothes, it looks ordinary, as if I don't dare to make any slightly bold attempts. And it's not just the clothes, but also the hairstyle and makeup, standing in front of Qin Yi as if she is a typical image of a Chinese mother.

Dignified and traditional, has his own career but is family-oriented, he doesn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, and he doesn't even dare to have too much contact with men of the same age. However, the corresponding Qin Yi did not see Zhang Yali's father.

"Hello. Qin Yi smiled at the other party and said hello.

Zhao Yuan smiled, stepped aside and motioned for Qin Yi to come in, her friendliness towards Qin Yi was not for no reason. Qin Yi mentioned one thing in his chat with her before, so the other party would have a good impression of him, otherwise I am afraid that he would not see him at all.

After entering the house, Zhao Yuan served Qin Yi a cup of tea and was ready to start chatting about business.

Before Qin Yi could speak, the other party smiled first: "That, you said before that you got a doctorate in psychology from Stanford University, as far as I know......"

"Yes, Stanford's math department is among the best in the world. Qin Yi said with a smile.

That's right, it was precisely because of the "Stanford University Ph.D." that Zhao Yuan was willing to meet him, otherwise the other party would not allow Qin Yi to criticize the way she educated her daughter.

"...... like this" Zhao Yuan was clearly thinking about something, "Then, you ......"

"I'm actually very popular over there, so I'll tell you straight. With the talents your daughter is showing now, it may not be difficult to get into this school, but if you want her to have the best mentorship and someone to take care of while living abroad, I can help you with that. Qin Yi saw through the other party's mind at a glance.

Zhao Yuan nodded, and Qin Yi continued: "However, you also know that I am her homeroom teacher and Chinese teacher, and I have just started teaching, so I hope to rectify the discipline of the class." It would be great if you could get your daughter to come to class. In return, when your daughter goes abroad, I will definitely let my friends at Stanford help take care of her. ”

"Hmm...... Actually, it's not that I don't want her to go to school, it's just that you also know the situation in your class, and letting her go to class there is a complete waste of time, so it's better to let her study at home, what do you say?" Zhao Yuan smiled, "My Xiaoya's grades are definitely no problem, and the minimum attendance rate will also be guaranteed, do you see if it's ......?"

"Isn't that completely different from now? You are also an understanding person, you help me, I will help you. If you deliberately make it difficult for me, then I may do something to make it difficult for you. Qin Yi smiled bitterly.

Zhao Yuan looked a little displeased, and Qin Yi also knew the reason, on the one hand, she and her husband were both university professors so they thought very highly of themselves, and on the other hand, her daughter was so talented, which made her feel that the world should revolve around their family.

However, it is a pity that Zhao Yuan is a person, and the only qualified position in her life is probably an instructor. Neither as a mother nor as a wife is qualified, not even a mentor, because what she does is not at all to guide her daughter. Therefore, the title can only be used as "instructor", and the task is to supervise and flog.

Sadly, her husband has been cheating on her for many years, and as for whether she knows it or not, it is unknown.

"You know, my teachers at Stanford still have a certain status, especially now that the university is more and more concerned about the mental state and social skills of scholars. Have you had a psychological evaluation of your daughter, and have you considered her social skills? Both of these can affect the school's decision. Qin Yi replied with a smile.

"It's ridiculous, great people often have some flaws on their bodies, and that's normal. Zhao Yuan frowned and said, this sentence made Qin Yi feel very unhappy, what she meant seemed to be that as long as her daughter could solve the Hodge conjecture, even if she turned into a madman who couldn't communicate with other people in the end, it didn't matter at all.

"Yes, like Van Gogh, everyone only paid attention to his paintings, but did not think about his psychological state after his love affair with the landlord's daughter was rejected, so much so that in July 1890, Van Gogh had a nervous breakdown and shot himself in the abdomen outside Paris. Qin Yi replied with a smile, and these words obviously made Zhao Yuan's face not look good, but he couldn't refute it.

After all, that's what the subtext of what she herself just said. Qin Yi retracted the smile on his face, it was still difficult for him to pretend to be kind to the person he disliked: "How about we make a deal?" If you let your daughter come back to class, I will ask my tutor to recommend her to Stanford University and entrust someone to take care of her." ”

After a pause, Qin Yi added, "Of course, I just ask her to come to my class." For other subjects, if the other teachers don't mind, I don't force her to stay in the classroom. So she can go to the library for the rest of the lessons, what do you think of that suggestion? That's the biggest concession I can make. ”

Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment, it seemed like a good deal to get a ticket to Stanford University just by taking one or two Chinese classes a day, so she nodded and agreed.

"So, I hope to talk to your daughter about going back to class next, are you okay?" Qin Yi asked again.
