Chapter 129: Teacher Chen
The meeting place was in the restaurant box, Mr. Chen took his son to arrive first, I just walked to the door of the restaurant, Sun Fei gently pulled me, and whispered, "Are you nervous?" β
I listened to the music, and said that it wasn't like I made a mistake when I was a child and was arrested to see the head teacher, I have been out of society for several years, what are you nervous about?
Sun Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Chen is still a virtuous person, old-fashioned, and hard-spoken, so that every time I meet him, it is like I made a mistake and entered the office when I was a child, and I can't raise my head at all." β
I smiled and said, "You had good grades back then, you were a proud protΓ©gΓ© of Mr. Chen, and you received a lot of care from others in your studies, so it is normal for you to be afraid of him, unlike me, I was a scumbag since I was a child, and Mr. Chen was not even interested in looking at me in the three years of high school." β
To be honest, I don't like Mr. Chen very much (maybe I should call him Director Chen now), because my grades in high school were not good, and I was not much looked down upon by him, and every time I signed up, he made it difficult for me, and some things didn't look like what a teacher should do.
Pushing the door and walking into the box, there was a young man sitting lazily on the chair, sixteen or seventeen years old, with curly hair, two earrings on his ears, sitting listlessly playing with his mobile phone, and a middle-aged man sitting next to him was Teacher Chen, who had taught me before.
Mr. Chen is not much different from what he remembers, except for a few more wrinkles on his face, his hair has turned a little gray, his appearance has hardly changed, and he still has a face that looks like he owes him money when he sees everyone, and not a single fold has changed.
As soon as I entered the box, Mr. Chen raised his head, glanced at me, and shifted his gaze to Zhang Qiang, "Why are there two, who is Ye Xun?" β
Well, it's only been a few years since people forgot about me.
There is such a big difference between me and Zhang Qiang's appearance, it is obvious that I am younger, even if I guess, I should guess my identity.
I whispered, "Teacher Chen, you look pretty good, you haven't changed at all over the years." β
He said "um" and invited me to sit down, but his mouth said, "Why did you leave school and mix like this, you don't want to find a serious career at a young age, I heard Sun Fei say that you are selling Buddhist cards, does that thing have an effect?" β
I'm very unhappy, my heart said how many years have I graduated, why do you still put on a teaching tone?
I also rely on labor to eat by selling Buddhist cards, so it's not a serious profession?
Sun Fei hurriedly snorted and said, "Teacher Chen, you underestimate Ye Xun too much, he is not bad, and buying Buddha cards is also a cross-border trade." β
Teacher Chen laughed dryly, yes?
After speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhang Qiang and said that this is ......
Sun Fei hurriedly introduced, "This eldest brother's surname is Zhang, and he has business dealings with Ye Xun, and they are a cooperative relationship. β
Zhang Qiang was in good spirits from the moment he entered the door, as if he couldn't arouse interest, and when he heard Sun Fei talk about himself, he said, "Okay, Director Chen, you are polite, let's talk about something practical, what kind of amulet do you want to ask for your son?" β
I know Zhang Qiang's character, he always likes to stand in front of outsiders, but I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be better than him, and he must be in a very unhappy mood now.
Teacher Chen said lightly, "Don't worry, we can talk while eating, in fact, I asked you out just to inquire, whether this so-called Buddha card has any effect, and I haven't decided whether to buy it immediately." β
Zhang Qiang looked at me hesitantly, sat down and said nothing.
After taking a seat, Teacher Chen asked again, "Ye Xun, I haven't seen you since I graduated from high school, by the way, did you get admitted to college later, what kind of education do you have now?" β
This made me embarrassed, I'm here to do business, not to report to you about my studies, right?
In fact, I am already a little dissatisfied, although Mr. Chen has been my homeroom teacher for three years, but we have almost zero communication in those three years, he has always ignored students with poor grades, and now he cares about my diploma, what is the matter?
To deal with him emotionally, you have to prepare a good academic degree first?
Sun Fei sensed my emotions, he suddenly became very embarrassed, rubbed his hands and said, Teacher Chen, let's talk about business.
Teacher Chen said casually, "I don't know anything about your business, is there any effect on asking for a Buddha card?" β
I coughed and said, "Teacher Chen, you know, learning this kind of thing depends entirely on talent and hard work, and luck only accounts for a small part, I don't know what effect you want to achieve?" β
Teacher Chen glanced at Sun Fei, "It's time for the monthly exam next month, so you have to be in the top ten of the class!" β
Sun Fei's mouth twitched.
I know what Sun Fei is thinking, there are more than 50 students in their class, Sun Fei scored at the bottom of the last monthly exam, and won the penultimate first, if you want to be admitted to the top ten in the class within a month, this is simply an impossible task.
I shook my head and said, "Teacher Chen, the amulet card is not omnipotent, you know your son's situation, you can help him improve his grades, I can't guarantee the top ten." β
He didn't think so, raised his chin and said, "Didn't Sun Fei say that on the phone before, isn't the Buddha card specially designed to help people transfer, is it a problem with money?" How much does it cost, you can tell me! β
I was a little annoyed, and at this time, Chen Hua, who was playing with his mobile phone, suddenly raised his head, "Dad, I just want to be admitted to high school successfully, and then I will talk about the diploma first, I don't care if the top ten or the top ten are not!" β
I felt a little more comfortable when I heard this.
To learn this kind of thing, you must rely on your own efforts, you don't know how to make progress, even if I invite the Buddha to you, it's useless, fortunately, Chen Hua's request is not too much.
But his next sentence was so angry that I almost vomited blood, "I don't care about the exam ranking or anything, my father is an official, I also want to be an official, I feel that being an official is particularly majestic, and I can teach my subordinates a lesson casually, Brother Ye, do you have that kind of Buddha card that can help me become an official, I want to buy it, as much as I want." β
What is this called?
Sure enough, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, the father and son are too ignorant of the sky and the earth, and they really dare to say anything.
Teacher Chen was unhappy and trained his son in person, "What kind of official is it, it's really useless, your task now is to study hard!" β
Chen Hua retorted, "It's not good to be an official, so why do you go to great lengths to climb up?" He also secretly gave gifts to people behind his back! β
Teacher Chen's mouth twitched, and his face suddenly stiffened, "Nonsense, believe it or not, I will whip you?" β
I almost laughed out loud and interrupted the conversation between the two fathers and sons, "Okay, okay, learning is about one step at a time, Chen Hua, tell me honestly, now I will give you a test paper with a full score of 150, how many points can you do?" β
Chen Hua said, "Then how do I know, as soon as I see the test paper, my head is big, and I don't want to do the question at all." β
At this time, Zhang Qiang came to say without yin or yang, "You don't even want to do the test papers, and you still want to get a high score?" I think it's better to forget it, it's useless to pray to God and worship Buddha like you. β
Teacher Chen's face stiffened, and he said, "What is your attitude?"
Zhang Qiang stood up with a calm face and said What attitude do you care about me, what's the matter? Lao Tzu is not your student, so he has to whisper in front of you and pretend to be a grandson, right? Being a petty official with sesame mung beans, I don't know where you got your sense of superiority, if you want to do something, you have to pay for it, how much money can you get out?
