"Borrowing? Are you out of town? Principal Gu looked at the two of them dressed quite brightly, not like they came to Linjiang to work, but he was a little confused about the identities of the two.

"That's right, my sister is from other places, but she has been working in Linjiang, but considering the high quality of education in Linjiang, I want to transfer the two children to school here, Principal Gu, do you think it's okay?" Lin Yifan briefly introduced the situation in Linjiang dialect.

"You are sisters and brothers, why is one in the field and the other in Linjiang?" Principal Gu glanced at Sister Su and asked.

"I'm his cousin, and I grew up in a foreign country." Sister Su hurriedly replied.

"Oh, I see." Principal Gu smacked his lips and said, "But I still have to regret telling you two, maybe I can't help you." ”

"Why is that?" Lin Yifan asked.

"The Education Bureau has regulations that generally do not allow students from other places to borrow from other places." Principal Gu rubbed his hands together and said with a smile.

"Principal Gu, do you see if you can help or not, let's treat it as a special situation!" Lin Yifan could hear that Principal Gu's words were not dead.

"Hehe, I want to help you too, but we are really embarrassed!" Principal Gu said with a sad face.

"Principal Gu, just help, we will always thank you." Sister Su took out an envelope from her small bag and put it on the table, pushing it over, and said with a smile.

"What is this for? It's not good, so you better take it back! If someone sees me, it hurts me. Principal Gu's face was a little happy, but he gently pushed the letter back, picked up the education magazine and flipped a few pages, and said in a low voice.

"No, it won't. At first glance, Principal Gu is a warm-hearted person. It's just a little bit of a heart. I would like to express my gratitude to Principal Gu for his help. Lin Yifan took out the machine, approached and clicked out the flames.

Seeing this, Principal Gu took the cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit the fire, spit out a mouthful of cigarette, pushed back the envelope, and said with a smile: "I think it is really difficult for the two of you, why don't I think of a way for the two of you?" ”

"That's a good idea. Please ask Principal Gu for advice! Lin Yifan pushed back the envelope.

Principal Gu smiled, put down the magazine in his hand, just covered the envelope, and sighed: "Hey, in recent years, our city near the river has developed too fast, and some surrounding towns have merged into the city one after another, but there are still so many schools in the city, and the educational facilities are a little unable to keep up, so even the local students are being pushed out, let alone from other places like you." ”

"Understand, understand!" Lin Yifan nodded yes.

"Of course. The door is not completely blocked, and the school still retains a few places. Principal Gu changed his words. Staring at Lin Yifan and smiling, "It's not ......"

"Principal Gu, please speak directly, if it is a matter of expense, we are also prepared." Lin Yifan said.

"That's good, that's good!" Principal Gu said with a smile, "According to the regulations of our school, we have to charge a certain fee. ”

"How much is the borrowing fee?" Sister Su asked.

"That's not called borrowing money, it's right for you parents to donate some sponsorship money to support our education." Principal Gu corrected.

"Oh, yes, yes, sponsorship, how much do you think each of our children should donate?" Sister Su said.

"Forty thousand!" Principal Gu spit out a number lightly.

"How much? Forty thousand? Forty thousand? Sister Su was so surprised by this number, although she was also prepared to pay some borrowing fees, but this number was really a bit jaw-dropping.

According to Lin Yifan's idea, it is about three or five thousand yuan each, and ten thousand yuan for two children must be able to get it, but now this number must be a bit outrageous.

"In fact, there are not many, in the final analysis, this is also a helpless thing, now the poorest is our education, the stall is so big, the government funding is very small, and the Education Bureau has to be strict with ...... of arbitrary fees"

"Can it be less? We only work part-time, and it's not easy to make money! Lin Yifan didn't have the patience to listen to him.

"It's not easy to do, although I'm the principal, how many pairs of eyes are staring at me below!" Principal Gu shook his head and said.

"Principal Gu, you can help, less!" Sister Su pleaded.

"I've already helped you, and if you want to change someone else, you can't get in even if you give sponsorship money, and the number of places is really limited."

"Is there really no room at all?" Lin Yifan asked.

"Not really, why don't you go to another school and ask?" Principal Gu narrowed his eyes and suggested.

Lin Yifan and Sister Su looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "Sister, why don't we go somewhere else and ask?" ”

"Alright then, let's go and ask somewhere else!" Sister Su hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

So, the two of them prepared to turn around.

"Ahem, I said two, come on, I'll do good things to the end, a fixed price, 70,000 yuan for two children, and you won't have to run into walls everywhere." When Principal Gu saw that the two were leaving, he coughed dryly and took a step back.

Sister Su stopped and wanted to open her mouth to speak, but when she saw Lin Yifan shaking her head, she stopped her mouth, and let Lin Yifan drag her downstairs, only to hear Principal Gu shouting from behind, "Or, I'll give you a cheap, 60,000?" ”

"What about him shouting sixty thousand?" Sister Su hesitated.

"Ignore him, you really think you're selling vegetables in the market, there should be regulations for this charge, you wait a while, I'll inquire!" Lin Yifan shook his head with a smile, he suddenly remembered someone.

Ding Shuyu. That's right, Lin Yifan remembered Ding Shuyu, isn't he an assistant to the Education Bureau, the last time they had a meeting in Huizhou, the two had a good chat, but after returning to Linjiang, they didn't think to contact again, so it's time to try.

So, Lin Yifan took out his wallet and turned out his business card, but fortunately, he hadn't lost it and dialed it.

"Ouch, it's Secretary Lin, I thought you forgot a meal you owed me?" Ding Shuyu laughed on the phone.

"Hello Ding Bureau, it's really strange, how do you know it's me when you hear it?" Lin Yifan said.

"I've been waiting for your meal, so your number is stored on your phone." Ding Shu said.

"It's just a meal, it's easy to say! But now I have something to ask you first, shall I? ”

"No problem, you say!"

"A friend of mine from out of town has two children who want to borrow money here, is there any regulation on this fee?" Lin Yifan said.

"Out-of-town? How old is it? Ding Shuyu asked.

"Eight or nine years old! Do I need to charge a borrowing fee? ”

"In principle, we don't have a borrowing fee, but now the education budget is really tight, and we have to collect some sponsorship fees or something, as long as the parents don't make trouble, we will turn a blind eye." Ding Shuyu said with a smile.

"I see, is your face worth it? Why don't you give me a force to make the school here collect less? ”

"Where are you, you can't really be at school, are you?" Ding Shu said.

"You guessed, I'm in the northern suburbs elementary school, so what kind of pig-headed Principal Gu asks for 80,000!" Lin Yifan complained with a wry smile.

"Did you give it? If you give it, you'll be a pig's head! Ding Shuyu scoffed.

"No, but it did scare me silly, so I came to ask you for help."

"Okay, you wait, I'll make a call, hang up first." Ding Shu said.

"Who's calling you?" Sister Su asked for Lin Yifan to straighten her collar.

"A friend of the Education Bureau, who said that he was an assistant to the director, but he didn't know if it worked." Lin Yifan shrugged and smiled.

"I hope it can be cheaper, 60,000 yuan, why do I feel like I'm grabbing money?" Sister Su was very helpless, but she was full of expectations for the phone call just now.

"It's a penny cheaper!" Lin Yifan stretched out his hand and touched Sister Su's sister, feeling that Sister Su was working hard to keep her money open.

As he was talking, footsteps sounded on the stairs, and when he looked up, it was Principal Gu who was trotting all the way down.

"Principal Gu, where are you in such a hurry, but be careful of falling." Lin Yifan said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, the two of you haven't left yet. Ouch, I said that since the two of you are friends of the Ding Bureau, how could you say it earlier, look at this matter? Principal Gu gasped and rubbed his hands together in embarrassment.

"Principal Gu, what's wrong with your hand? Frostbite? Lin Yifan said with a smile. (To be continued......)
