The old man who basically didn't meet with the school leadership walked in front with his hands behind his back, Wang Xiaoshan followed behind him and kept guessing what the old principal's intentions were, could it be that the off-campus fight incident that he had been very careful to deal with was known by the school, and it would not be asked by such a heavyweight in person, the old man who looked a little weak and couldn't help but walk unhurriedly, quite a little bit of a feeling of looking down on the world after all the vicissitudes of life, and it was too troublesome and laborious to be unflattering to play tricks with such an old fox.

followed the old principal to his own office in the school, the third floor, not high or low, presumably in order to take care of the old man's body, the school did not set up the principal's office in the upper floor under normal circumstances. The whole floor is very quiet because of the existence of such a big boss, and the school leaders who usually work on this floor do not dare to be too noisy, for fear of leaving a light and impetuous impression on the old man, every staff member who passes by the old man will greet him with a smile, and the old man with a pair of small glasses will also respond one by one, which makes Wang Xiaoshan feel very emotional, this is more real than the stormy waves inside and outside the officialdom that he imagined, It seems that at least on the surface, the old man is a moderate in terms of managing the school leadership, not ostentatious, not nervous.

The old man's office area is not small, maybe this is the only place that does not match the old man's personality, behind the wide desk is a wooden bookcase that occupies a whole wall, not like some vassal elegant characters in it is filled with large pieces that will not be turned over when they are almost bought, and if you look closely, you will find that they are all quite professional books related to economics and sociology, and there are some niche philosophical categories, and even Wang Xiaoshan saw a copy of "Home Decoration DIY" in it If you are more than a little old, you can still be interested in reading this kind of home decoration book, which can be regarded as an old heart. In addition to the bookcase that occupies a little space in the whole office, the old man's desk, there is only a pair of fabric sofas left, which is different from other people's choice of traditional office leather sofas, it is really a handmade fabric sofa, it seems that this pair of sofas has been around for some years, and it should be used when meeting guests.

The old man did not sit directly on the chair behind his desk, but sat on one of the pair of fabric sofas, pointing his finger at the other and motioning for Wang Xiaoshan to sit down and chat. Wang Xiaoshan can be unscrupulous and unscrupulous and not have stage fright in Yang Weimin, and if he really meets a person like the old principal, he will not dare to make a mistake, otherwise people will fall with the impression that they are disrespectful and disorderly, and they will definitely not have their own good fruit to eat. Wang Xiaoshan was still confused and couldn't figure out the old principal's true intention of letting him come over, so he stood still and didn't move, but asked tentatively: "What is the old principal looking for me to do?" ”

The old man took off his glasses and put them on the coffee table next to the sofa, and by the way picked up his water cup and wanted to drink saliva before talking, he never thought that he might have forgotten to add water when he went out, the water cup was already empty, Wang Xiaoshan hurried up and took the water cup in the old principal's hand with both hands, "Old principal, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

The old principal naturally sent the water cup over, and took advantage of Wang Xiaoshan's efforts to pour water, pointing a finger at his back and teasingly said: "You kid, I don't know if you are shrewd or not, others know that I am old, at most I will retire in two years, but if I want to say that whoever sees me still respectfully call me the principal, no one really dares to shout an old word, you kid has not said a word since he came in, and he brought two old principals with him, but if you want to say that you are not shrewd, you also know to serve me this old man tea and water, I see, you're a little slippery. ”

Wang Xiaoshan spoke while turning around to pour water from the water dispenser, and did not look back, "If others don't say that the old principal, they are not honest, of course an honest child like me has something to say, and besides, pouring water is not an ordinary thing, if the junior does not have this eyesight at home, he will be reprimanded by the adults in the family a long time ago." ”

"Flamboyant, tell me why you're not going to the Games."

After Wang Xiaoshan poured the water, he gently put it on the coffee table next to the old man's sofa, and stood in front of the old man again, and then said: "It's nothing, it's just that it's not much fun to watch a group of people running around." ”

"If you don't go, don't go, you kid is not big, but you are a ghost, don't be so nervous, I just want to talk to you when I come over, how can I talk to you if you are always standing, let me keep looking up at you as an old man, you are embarrassed."

Wang Xiaoshan is still a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water, "You still don't sit down, right?" ”

The old headmaster simply ordered in a direct tone this time: "If you want to sit, you can sit, a big young man can't make me, an old man, so scared that he doesn't even dare to sit." ”

Wang Xiaoshan could only sit on another sofa obediently, the old principal looked at him calmly, and after taking a sip of the tea that Wang Xiaoshan had changed, he continued: "Your father sponsored the school with the money for a teaching building, but you are not allowed to come here to go to school for this reason, but more because your college entrance examination score is indeed enough to meet the school's score line, I have always had a question, your grades do not say that you choose our school, that is, you choose to study abroad, and it is not a problem to go to some top-ranked foreign universities, Why did I only write about this one place when I applied for the job? ”

Wang Xiaoshan replied honestly: "I haven't thought about going abroad, mainly because I don't have money. When I was in high school, I worked part-time and earned just enough money to go to school here. ”

The old principal's mentality had obviously been cultivated to the state of Gujing Wubo, and he was not surprised by Wang Xiaoshan's too strange answer, and said lightly, "Is there a conflict with the family?" ”

"There's no contradiction, it's just that I can't get used to some of my own practices."

"Then you won't pick up your own Lao Tzu's class after graduation?"

"No, I'm going to start my own business, and whoever loves that company will follow."

The old principal was not prepared to get too involved in other people's family affairs, but just said: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." ”

Wang Xiaoshan deliberately smiled and asked, "The old principal's family also has difficulties?" ”

"Stinky boy, don't want to inquire about the elderly, if you don't participate in the sports meeting, you won't participate, I'll do the work of your counselor, don't think about it, I called you over this time to see what the top student in your province's college entrance examination looks like."

"What else can it be, ordinary, nothing special."

The old man nodded very seriously, "There really is nothing special. ”

Wang Xiaoshan only felt that this old man was too direct to speak, but he was also the top student in the college entrance examination in the province, so he couldn't praise it by the way.

The old principal didn't care about Wang Xiaoshan's thoughts, and asked casually, "Do you know how to play chess?" ”

Wang Xiaoshan ate the gall of the male leopard, and returned angrily: "No." ”

"I just want to find someone who can't play two, it's boring to play chess with a group of vice principals every day, it's too brain-consuming, you come to play with me, and I'm also looking for an easy way to overcome other people's feelings."

Wang Xiaoshan looked loveless, how could such an old man become the principal?

The chessboard is set out, and it is placed on the coffee table in the middle of the two-person sofa, the chessboard does not use any particularly precious wood, just the general red walnut, but the polishing is fine, the shape is elegant, and the material used for the chess pieces is different. The edges of the chess pieces have been touched smoothly and rounded, which should be the result of being often taken out to play against them. The old and the young don't talk nonsense, and they are ready to fight on the chessboard.

Wang Xiaoshan has a grudge in his heart, of course he will not show mercy to the old man's subordinates, he is very aggressive at the beginning, he must fight, he will not give up an inch of land, and he will directly turn the person who killed the old principal on his back, and the old man has no way out in less than twenty minutes. The old principal held the horse that was eaten by Wang Xiaoshan and was indecided, thinking left and right, but he refused to admit defeat. Wang Xiaoshan said angrily: "Admit defeat, there is no way out." ”

"Didn't you say you wouldn't go down? I think you're slippery tight. ”

Wang Xiaoshan said with a smile: "The old principal can't say that, I really don't know how to do it, but it's okay to deal with it casually." ”

The old principal was not convinced, "Discuss something, I regret making a move, people are old, their eyes are not very good, just now they shook their hands and took a wrong step, it was not originally designed like this." Wang Xiaoshan just wanted to say that the gentleman did not move his hands, and he resolutely could not let this cunning old man succeed, and the old man on the opposite side had already put the horse that had just been eaten back on. Wang Xiaoshan could only look at the old man helplessly, "Just one step, next time you can't regret chess, how can you have the demeanor of a famous school principal like you." ”

The old principal was not angry, "The top student in the college entrance examination is not a slippery head like you." ”

The old and the young fight in the chess game, and they are not forgiving.

Wang Xiaoshan actually knows how to play chess, not only can play, but also very proficient in such a thing that not many young people like, chess is really not easy to play, but it can't stop a certain animal from being born with a scientific man's meticulous thinking logic and unique mental arithmetic ability, plus Wang Xiaoshan has learned a few endgame tricks with his Orion grandfather since he was a child, and he can definitely guarantee torture and kill against ordinary people, even if he is a capable person with superb chess skills, he can also have contacts and fights, and the battle is inseparable. The old principal asked Wang Xiaoshan to play chess, and he really suffered a lot.

After another ten minutes, under Wang Xiaoshan's strong urging, the old principal reluctantly admitted defeat, but he still refused to give in, shouting that it was not counted just now, young people have no longevity in chess, and two more handfuls, wait for me to figure out your routine and see if I don't kill you and throw away your armor, and leave no armor.

Wang Xiaoshan had no choice but to accompany this old man, who was a prominent figure in the entire country's education circles, to fight on the chessboard.
