Chapter 4: Shuya's Help
"Okay, I'm happy to accompany you." Faced with the invitation of the beautiful woman, Xiang Nan pinched the few red bills that he only brought out of his pocket, and secretly prayed that all the big hotels would be overcrowded.
"Great, get in the car."
Lin Shuya seemed to see through Xiangnan's thoughts, she did not drive the car to high-end places such as star-rated cafes, hotels, and celebrity clubs. Instead, he drove straight away from the carefully woven bustle of the downtown and headed north until he parked the car downstairs at the Mayflower Tea Restaurant. Cai Wan'er smiled.
Sang-nam was also in a relaxed mood. Such a place has warm light, dark green vines, and there are as many good moods as there are prosperous people, and it is not shabby.
The best red stewed Rubos, Mao Xuewang, Zhusun white jade rolls, and stewed snow clams with papaya are all must-order dishes in Chinatown when they gather abroad. Sweet and sour**, like the feeling of life, each is extraordinarily exquisite, the amount is not large, but it is just right to have a slight surplus, no waste, no frugality, you can see the intentions of the store owner.
A good bottle of red wine is a luxury for dinner.
This is one of the reasons why Sang-nam is willing to become friends with Lin Shuya, whose father is the director of the local education bureau. Scholarly disciple, highly respected. With this kind of capital that is high enough, no matter how extravagant and arrogant Shuya is, it is not too much. But in life, she is cheap, elegant, like a mentor and friend, intellectual, beautiful, generous, and has become a representative of the lady who can enter the kitchen in the eyes of men.
Perhaps because of the influence of the family, Shuya is also comfortable in handling interpersonal relationships, and she is exquisite, even if it is a large gathering of hundreds of people, she can take care of everyone like a considerate person. It's rare to make everyone happy and feel valued.
With the mellow aroma of red wine and the bright lights, the two of them went from anecdotes happening on foreign campuses to ancient Roman ruins, the Eiffel Tower of Paris to the Sahara Desert, and the gods of Greece. It's been a long time since I've talked so vividly, and the depression that has persisted since Xiangnan returned to China has been swept away.
"Xiangnan, I have something to ask for, I don't know if you are willing to help?" When the conversation came to an end, Lin Shuya changed her helpless tone, her hands on her cheeks, and her brows were worried, it seemed that this problem had bothered her.
"Tell me about it, as long as I can help you." Xiang Nan readily agreed. For a young talent like him, who is cold and arrogant on the outside and fiery on the inside, he certainly responds to the requests of beautiful women.
"That's right, I am now the director of the third level of Pingyang No. 2 High School, and I found that the level of English teaching in our country is too poor. The original English teacher has never been abroad, and many pronunciations are not sure of themselves, so how can they teach students oral English well. Isn't this a misguided child" Shuya's expression of bitterness and hatred deeply infected Xiang Nan, and he thought to himself, now many schools in China have adopted the system of hiring foreign teachers, which is also targeted. Let the spoken English be as good as possible and in line with international standards. It's just that what does this question have to do with herself, I don't know what Shuya thinks in her heart.
Don't? Did she want me to solve this urgent need? For a person with a high IQ like Xiang Nan, other people's problems have only been thrown out, and he has already analyzed the third or even fourth step behind.
"I want to ask you to be the English teacher of this key class, I wonder what you think? Of course, this is a real thing, and if the effect is good, I will hire a foreign teacher or a returnee as an English teacher, which can be regarded as a small reform. Shuya said modestly, after thinking about it, she was afraid that Xiang Nan would have concerns, she knew that Xiang Nan would have to return to the Qiushi Group sooner or later, this was just a matter of equity, and then said seriously: "You don't have to worry about not being able to get out in the future?" We just need to sign a one-year contract. Also, if you agree, I can communicate with the principal that you don't have to do classes every day, as long as you come over when there are classes. ”
"This question is a bit strict, let me think about it." When Xiang Nan heard Lin Shuya say this, his heart was shaken. Although I don't have a feasible plan yet, is it okay to be a teacher? Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, this kind of public welfare reform will definitely benefit more high school students and even junior high school and primary school students. But his ambitions are clearly not here. What to do?
He stared at the red body of wine in the wine glass, pondered for a long time, and then slowly spoke, "It won't be too late to give you an answer in two days." ”
"Of course not, Nan, I'm waiting for your good news, come, so that we can become comrades in the same trench as soon as possible, cheers!" The goal was achieved, and Lin Shuya was sincerely happy in her heart.
Coming out of the hotel, the night was dark, and the evening breeze was blowing, and Xiangnan refused Shuya to send him home.
One person, multiple roads, staggering steps in the shadows of the broken lights, the way home turned out to be so far away. Xiang Nan looked up at the dense stars in the sky, as light as a plain clothes in the excitement of neon lights. If his father knew about his decision, I don't know what he would say. Was it for him, or was it extremely disappointed?
A bottle of wine on the lake can remember the people of the world. Even if it is a century-old red wine, it will also ripple with a slightly drunken mellow aroma. If there are so many ifs in life, he is willing to be a child of an ordinary family, unrestrained and free to flow freely.
"Xiangling, it's okay for you to leave quickly, if you don't leave, you'll be late."
"Ouch, Ziluo, what are you in a hurry, don't you know that big-name people are always the last to appear, hey, wait, wait, look, this year's most popular headdress, I've seen it on the Internet, and there was an identical headgear when Zizi came to Pingyang for a concert a few days ago. Wow, that's amazing. ”
The years have changed, and the red face is just right, and after six years, Xiangling and Ziluo have grown into beautiful women. Although Xiangling is a little fat, she is lively and generous, unrestrained, with a round face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is very amiable and cute next door.
She used a pair of lotus-like white and tender chubby hands to grasp the corner of Ziluo's clothes tightly and refused to relax, her eyes were full of pleading, "Let's go and see if it's okay, just for a while, okay." ”
"Xiangling, I really can't help you. Just a little while, oh, I'll see the time. Ziluo reluctantly walked hand in hand with her into the bright Happy 100 jewelry store in the roadside window.
"The two little beauties really have a vision, this is the latest crystal hairpin of love this year, hot on the market, limited edition sales."
"I know, hee-hee, Ziluo, you see, I said it." Xiangling happily picked a pink one, put it on her dyed yellow hair, and looked left and right in the mirror, narcissistic.
"Alright, it's already beautiful, let's go." Ziluo helped Xiangling straighten her hairpin and urged.
"Got it, right away." Xiangling picked out another cute cartoon pen, and then helped Ziluo pick a purple one before going to the cashier to pay.
Ziluo also likes this purple hairpin very much, the dark background is inlaid with a purple crystal heart-wrenching pattern, although exaggerated but elegant, very tasteful.
"Xiangling, I can't ask for your things for nothing? It's the money, you take it. ”
"What kind of money, don't want it, don't kill it, Ziluo, we're good friends, right, this is my gift to you for your senior year, you can't refuse." Xiangling couldn't put it down, playing with the pink jewelry in her hand, and her face was full of innocent joy.
Xiangling knows that Ziluo has no mother since she was a child, and her only father is an alcoholic, because she can't stand Ziluo's mother's departure, she only knows how to drink and get drunk all day long, and even Ziluo's school tuition is earned by Ziluo as a tutor during the summer vacation, and her living expenses are also earned by her diligent assistant.
If these are seen by the mother in heaven, I don't know how distressing it will be. Although life is unfortunate, Ziluo is good at studying, and every exam is the first, the first, the first.
Xiangling is the daughter of a small business owner and her academic performance is not good, but it doesn't matter, her father often says that he makes enough money for Xiangling to spend several lifetimes. What do girls have to work so hard for, just choose a good husband who is good-tempered and considerate. It's a secret between the two of them.
Because of this secret, Xiangling felt that she knew Ziluo better than others, and their sisterhood was stronger.
"You Ziluo, you two are leaving, you're going to be late." Classmate Li Yao rode a bicycle past them like the wind.
"Yes, let's go, let's go, this is the first class of the new semester, don't be late." Ziluo pulled Xiangling and ran wildly.
It turned out to be still late.
"Hey, two students who are late, please come to the front."
I wanted to sneak in through the back door, but I was caught. Xiangling lowered her head and stuck out her tongue.
"I'm sorry teacher, we didn't mean to." Ziluo lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look up.
"Yes, we all ran fast all the way, and we only blamed the cars on the road." Xiangling hurriedly explained, anyway, there are a lot of reasons for being late, believe it or not.
