After speaking with Qi Xianzhao, Lin Yi drove to Zhonghai Normal University.
After New Yearâs Day, the school examination period had all but ended.
The only remaining students were from majors which had yet to finish their exams.
As a result, the campus was deserted and there were not many students.
Without any long legs to look at, Zhonghai Normal University had already lost its special essence.
Lin Yi couldnât help but sigh. Summer was the most beautiful time of year at the university.
With no legs to look at, Lin Yi didnât linger on campus for long and went straight to Zhao Qiâs office.
âTeacher Lin, come, come, take a seat.â
Even though Lin Yi had many identities, Zhao Qi still liked to call him Teacher Lin.
âWeâre old acquaintances. Thereâs no need to be so polite.â
âBut youâve helped a lot for the school to develop to this point.â
After saying that, Zhao Qi looked at his watch. âItâs noon now. 1â11 find a place to have a meal for you. Letâs have a good drink.â
âWeâre all on the same side. Thereâs no need to be so polite.â Lin Yi waved his hand.
âYouâre pretty busy yourself. And Iâm not hungry yet. Donât let me take up too much of your time.â
It wasnât that Lin Yi wasnât hungry, it was just that he didnât want to eat with Zhao Qi. After all, he was an old man, and eating with him was boring.
He might as well look for Sugar later.
âYou do this every time. Youâre embarrassing me.â
Zhao Qi went to make a pot of tea and took the initiative to pour a cup for Lin Yi.
âIf you have something to say, just say it. If 1 can do it, I will definitely do it for you. If I canât, I will think of a way to do it for you.â
âI mentioned to you before about arranging people to intern in Dongsan County. The development there is getting better and better, the population is increasing, but the education level is falling behind. We need to prioritize this.â âDonât worry, Teacher Lin. Iâve already informed my subordinates, but thereâs a problem 1 have to clarify with you in advance,â Zhao Qi said.
âInternships last for at most a year, and in the end, they wonât be able to stay, after all, itâs just a county town.â
âI understand. Just help me arrange the internship properly and offer a monthly salary of 3500 yuan, weâll leave the rest to fate.â
âTeacher Lin, youâve always been so generous. Honestly, even interns in Zhonghai donât get paid this much.â
Lin Yi sat on the sofa with a smile. âThatâs why I have to start things off and be a conscientious capitalist.â
Zhao Qi also smiled and said, âI think this wonât work. In the end, we wonât be able to keep anyone. Itâs equivalent to wasting money.â
âSo?â
âIf we want to solve the education problem in Dongsan County, we have to provide substantial benefits. Everyone needs to make a living. This way, the chances of the students staying are higher.â
Lin Yiâs eyes lit up. âYouâve reminded me of something. In the teaching profession, we have to consider job security, right?ââ
âItâs always easy to talk to Teacher Lin. Things are straight to the point,â Zhao Qi said.
âWeâre all ordinary people. Without solving the basic needs, talking about ideals and dedication is meaningless. Once we address these issues, everything else becomes much easier.â
âThatâs a good suggestion,â Lin Yi said.
âIâll get this done as soon as possible. Tell the students about the situation and the plan. Iâll think of a solution.â
âThen itâs decided. When the time comes, you can also run the math and see how many people the school needs. Our school will send our best.â
âAlright, itâs settled.â
Then, the two of them discussed the details before Lin Yi left Zhao Qiâs office. However, just as he reached the elevator, he saw Sugar hurriedly coming out. After not seeing her for a long time, Lin Yi realized that Sugar had lost a lot of weight. She was wearing a black sweater and blue jeans, highlighting her good figure.
Because she had become thinner, the two white rabbits in front of her had gotten even bigger. Even Tian Yan could only look at Sugar and sigh.
Sugar was slightly surprised to see Lin Yi, but then she smiled.
âWhat are you doing here?â
âI have something to discuss with Principal Zhao. 1 just finished talking to him and was about to invite you out for a meal.â
âThatâs good. I havenât eaten yet.â
Sugar waved the document in her hand. âWait for me for a while. Iâll pass this to Principal Zhao and then we can go out for a meal.â
âSure.â
Sugar was quick. She turned around and went into the office. A few minutes later, she jogged towards Lin Yi. The two headlights in front of her were so bright that Lin Yi couldnât open his eyes.
âLetâs go, pick whatever you want to eat, Iâll treat you today.â
âWhatâs up? Did you reach the top rank in the game? You seem so happy.â
âWe play games together every day, you know my skill level, right? I doubt Iâll ever reach the top rank in my life.â
Sugar combed her long hair. âIâm about to be promoted. Iâm in a good mood today. You can choose any place you want.â
âWonât it hold you up from work this afternoon?â
âThe students are all on vacation. Weâre free to work at any time.
Coincidentally, thereâs a car exhibition today. I was going to check it out.â
âAre you changing cars? Wasnât the A6 pretty good?â
âThe car belongs to my mom. After getting my driverâs license, Iâve been using that car to practice driving. Now that Iâm confident enough, so Iâm thinking of getting an SUV.â Sugar said. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou seem to know about cars. If youâre free, come with me this afternoon and give me some recommendations.â
Lin Yi glanced at Sugar.
âThe visibility of SUVs is better, but in terms of brand, you should choose Audi.
You and this brand are a perfect match.â
âWhy are we a perfect match?â
âAudiâs car lights are awesome, they are commonly known as âlight factories,â just like you. If this isnât a perfect match, then what is?â
As a person who interacted with students every day, Sugar knew a lot of the jokes circulating in the school.
Thus, she immediately understood what Lin Yi meant by headlights.
âLetâs not talk about that. Iâm so annoyed.â Sugar said in frustration.
âI want to find a place to reduce the size. Just enough so people can distinguish between the front and back. Itâs completely cumbersome to be this big.â
Lin Yi,
âYou really are a rich man who doesnât know the suffering of the poor. Itâs so Versailles.â
Lin Yi felt that if He Yuanyuan grew up like this, she would show off at the beach every day.
âAlright, letâs not talk about me anymore,â Sugar said.
âLetâs go eat.â
Then, the two of them arrived at the barbeque shop they used to frequent.
Although the interior was not luxurious, it was not bad at Zhonghai Normal University.
Most importantly, it tasted very good and was affectionately called the Fourth Cafeteria by the students.
âYou just mentioned a promotion earlier. Where did you get transferred to?â âIâve been transferred to the School Party and Government Office,â Sugar replied. âAs a deputy section chief. Not bad, right?â
At Sugarâs age, being able to achieve this position was the best affirmation of her abilities.
If she was willing to sell herself out a bit more, she might even be promoted to deputy dean in a few years.
But she wasnât that kind of person.
âOh, Teacher Su, youâre here too.. Is this your boyfriend?â
