Chapter 280: The Price
Tomorrow is the beginning of the school year of Jiangdu Chess Academy, most of the students from other places return to school after the holidays, making the originally quiet campus become lively, there are children running around everywhere, playing and making trouble, shouting, all full of vitality, like a pony who has just come out of the circle. The children are noisy, although the teachers see it, they don't care much, except for a few words of caution, don't wrestle, etc., it does not prevent the children from venting their energy, this may be the quiet and moving, after two or three months of quiet, they also like to have more vitality in the campus, right?
Holding a list that had just been bound into a book, Li Qiusheng walked to the dean's office, as the third person in the Jiangdu Chess Academy except for Zheng Jigong and Zheng Jifu, he is now the first busy, after all, Zheng Jigong, Zheng Jifu is in charge of big things, many times just need to say a word and let others do it, but he is specifically running errands, many things must be handled and implemented by him, and there is no chance to be lazy, but although his body is very tired, his spirit is very good, because' 'Busy' represents his status and weight in the chess academy, and some people can't grab the opportunity if they want to be busy.
"Dangdangdang." Coming to the door of the dean's office, Li Qiusheng reached out and knocked lightly on the door a few times.
"Please come in." Zheng Jigong's voice came from the room.
Li Qiusheng pushed the door in, Zheng Jigong looked up from behind the bookcase and saw that it was him, so he temporarily stopped the work he was writing, "Teacher Li, is there something wrong?" ", he asked.
"Oh, the dean, the teachers and school staff of the chess academy have been hired, this is the staff roster, please take a look at the dean." Li Qiusheng replied and handed the directory in his hand to Zheng Jigong.
After taking over the list, Zheng Jigong roughly doubled, except for a few more important people, he didn't care about other ordinary employees, although there were many ways to manage. But the essence is much the same, basically the emphasis is on grasping the big and letting go of the small, there are light and heavy, the pursuit of all-encompassing, everything is personal, that is the way of a small gang, hundreds of thousands of people in the chess academy is also in charge, even if he has three heads and six arms, he has to be tired to death.
"Dangdang."
Halfway through the roster, there was another knock on the door.
"Please come in." Zheng Jigong shouted.
The door of the house opened again, Zheng Jigong and Li Qiusheng turned their heads together, this time it was not the people from the chess academy who came in. Although the clothes are not gorgeous, the workmanship can be seen to be very exquisite, and the habitual bowing and bending over, but he is also a person he knows.
"Yo, it turned out to be Steward Zhou, please come in, please come in." recognized the person as Zhou Peide's personal butler Zhou Qing, Zheng Jigong hurriedly put down the other work in his hand and got up to greet him, and Li Qiusheng also smiled and nodded. Greeting the other party - the so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, although the other party is just a subordinate, he is the most trusted person around Zhou Peide, a sentence at a critical time. Maybe you can make your hard work come to naught in an instant.
"Hehe, Dean Zheng, Teacher Li, good two." Zhou Qing entered the house. Nodding and greeting the two of them.
"Heh, okay, is Steward Zhou here with Old Zhou? Where is Old Zhou? "I have been having a headache about Zhou Shaokang for the past two days. Seeing Zhou Qing coming, thinking that Zhou Peide came to the door again to put pressure on him, Zheng Zaigong complained in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face and asked with concern.
"Oh, my lord didn't come." Zhou Qing replied.
"Huh? What was the matter with the housekeeper that week? Zheng Jigong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about it, a big boss like Zhou Peide, who can have hundreds or thousands of taels of silver in his account when he sits down and drinks a cup of tea, where can he have so much time to spend on himself.
"Oh, my master called me to talk to Dean Zheng, saying that you have your difficulties, and the little master's school will not cause you trouble." Zhou Qing said it very politely, but what he said was very exciting.
"Uh, what?" Zheng Jigong and Li Qiusheng were both taken aback, they didn't expect Zhou Peide to be so straightforward and decisive, they came to discuss the matter before yesterday, and made a decision today.
"Oh, my master has decided to send the little master to other chess academies to school, so you don't have to bother here." Zhou Qing replied, this time he said it very clearly - there is no place to keep a master here, there is a place to keep a master, the Zhou family has money, where do you want to go to school, why do you have to hang yourself on a tree in your Jiangdu Chess Academy! If there is no Zhang butcher, do you have to eat hairy pigs? You think your Jiangdu Chess Academy is very good, but you just don't pay attention to it!
"Uh, what do you mean by that? Do you mean that Zhou Lao is going to send Zhou Shaokang to study in other chess academies? Zheng Jigong and Li Qiusheng exchanged glances and hurriedly asked.
"Yes, exactly." Zhou Qing replied.
"It's settled?" Zheng Jigong asked - somehow, he was relieved to hear the news, the main purpose of the Zheng family's chess academy in Yangzhou is to find good chess seedlings, and the problem of money is secondary, if you don't consider the influence of the Zhou family in Yangzhou, Zhou Shaokang is just a very ordinary student, and it has no special significance to the Jiangdu Chess Academy, so he is not studying in the Jiangdu Chess Academy, and the Jiangdu Chess Academy is only losing a tuition fee, he is not afraid, what he is afraid of is Zhou Peide's fuss, The matter of arranging a special tutor for the child is entangled with himself, and it is impossible for him to send a message to the other party 'come if you want to, and leave if you don't come', so Zhou Peide took the initiative to give up, which is a relief for him.
"Yes, it's decided." Zhou Qing replied.
"Well, Zhou Shaokang is smart and clever, and he has been learning Go for a period of time and has laid a considerable foundation, so it's really a pity not to come to Jiangdu Chess Academy to learn chess. But I don't know which chess academy Zhou Lao is looking for for Shaokang? Feeling relieved, but his face couldn't show a relaxed look, Zheng Jigong pretended to be very disappointed and asked.
"It's Yangzhou Chess Academy." Zhou Qing replied.
"Yangzhou Chess Academy? Are you talking about Dong Yong's Yangzhou Chess Academy? Zheng Jigong was really taken aback this time and asked in surprise.
"Uh, is there a second Yangzhou chess academy in Yangzhou? Zhou Qing asked strangely - he was listening to Dong Yong's lobbying yesterday, so he was very clear about the relationship between the Jiangdu Chess Academy and the Yangzhou Chess Academy, originally this kind of thing was so that any subordinate of the Zhou family could do it, but Zhou Peide specially asked him to come and run in order to observe Zheng Jigong's reaction, and judging from the other party's expression now, this blow did hit the other party's sore spot.
"What, what the hell is going on? Why did Zhou Lao choose to let Shaokang go to school in Yangzhou Chess Academy? Zheng Jifu's mood did fluctuate a little, he didn't care about the stay of a student whose qualifications could only be regarded as upper-average, but the place where this student went was the Dong family, which couldn't help but make him have other ideas.
