Chapter 73 - 73 073 Hit him right in the heart
?73: 073 Hit him right in the heart 73: 073 Hit him right in the heart On Monday morning, before morning self-study even began, students arrived in the classroom and the first thing they discussed was “Leisure and Fun Record.”
Soon, the first class was Chinese, and Tang Tianjiao sat in the last row with Xia Ye.
While others were preparing for the class, they just started to “do” their homework.
Tang Tianjiao got the homework from Zou Wu, spread it out on her lap, and they both started copying it.
This was to avoid being seen by teachers who might pass by the door.
Xia Ye hadn’t intended to write anything, but seeing her desk mate so enthusiastic, she felt it wouldn’t be nice to refuse.
However, when she saw Zou Wu’s homework…
The first line still had the symbols ? and ?, but by the second line, they had turned into the letters a and B.
So it was copied too…
As Xia Ye was writing, she silently corrected the second line’s a and B back to ? and ?, but Tang Tianjiao noticed right away and helpfully reminded her, “Brother Ye, you copied the wrong line!”
Xia Ye: …
With five minutes to go before the first class, Emperor Yang entered the classroom.
With a tight schedule and heavy tasks, he started the class five minutes early.
As they opened their textbooks, a student lamented, “This is so hard to memorize.
Yang brother, can’t we just not memorize it?”
Emperor Yang tapped his teaching baton on the lectern, “Memorize it, children.
Who else but our ancestors left us this cultural heritage?”
Xia Ye suddenly felt somewhat sorry for these poor kids.
By the end of the class, Emperor Yang had only finished explaining three segments.
Before leaving, he announced that the school would be organizing another psychological seminar soon to help the Senior Three students relieve the pressure of preparing for the college entrance exam.
He emphasized specifically that the school had invited a distinguished psychology expert from Beijing Hospital, urging them to pay close attention.
In the principal’s office, Tian Hanwen straightened his shirt and made a call with a rather solemn demeanor.
Once connected, a smile immediately spread across his face, “President Jiang, it’s me.
Tian, the principal from First Middle School.”
Jiang Xuan had just come out from a meeting.
Over the years, the Jiang family had always sponsored First Middle School and even allocated additional funds this time to improve the school cafeteria’s meals.
Last time, he went to eat at Godear with Xia Ye and noticed how much she enjoyed her meal, so he asked if she didn’t like the school cafeteria’s food.
Xia Ye answered, “It’s just okay, not very tasty.”
The next day, the school received the sponsorship.
Tian Hanwen was emotionally moved.
Previously, First Middle School had sent an invitation to Jiang Xuan for the opening ceremony, but he hadn’t attended.
But today, he made the call himself.
Tian Hanwen said, “President Jiang, you generously donate to our school every year but never attend our events.
It really makes us feel uncomfortable, especially this year with the added funds for the cafeteria, which are somewhat excessive.
Perhaps we could allocate some of that to other areas…”
“Don’t move it,” Jiang Xuan asserted, “use it for improving the cafeteria’s menu.”
Although he had let the school allocate his previous donations as they saw fit and never interfered, this time he was particularly firm about the cafeteria, and while Tian Hanwen couldn’t quite understand it, he immediately agreed, “No problem, no problem.”
These funds were enough to develop a five-star hotel-quality menu, complete with attractive appearance, delicious taste, and balanced nutrition.
Tian Hanwen couldn’t help but feel perplexed.
So targeted, could it be that Mr.
Jiang…
has tried their cafeteria food?
It wasn’t that bad, was it?
“By the way, Mr.
Jiang, in a little while, the school is planning to arrange a psychological seminar for the senior high students, mainly as a form of motivation before the college entrance examination, so I was thinking…”
Jiang Xuan was flipping through the contract handed over by Shen Jing and blurted out, “How much do you need?”
Tian Hanwen felt a bit awkward, “No, that’s not what I meant, I wanted to invite Mr.
Jiang to our school…
Since Mr.
Jiang has always been a sponsor and a very successful entrepreneur, there’s no need to give a speech, just appearing would greatly motivate the students.
I just don’t know if Mr.
Jiang has the time…”
The invitation to the opening ceremony had vanished without a trace, so Tian Hanwen didn’t have much hope this time either.
Sure enough, the reply came quickly, “I’m quite busy recently, I don’t have time.”
Tian Hanwen’s tone was a bit regretful, “All right, if Mr.
Jiang changes his mind, please call me anytime.”
Jiang Xuan acknowledged with a sound, hung up the phone, handed the finished contract to Shen Jing, and walked into the office.
Behind him, Shen Jing, holding the contract, narrowed his gossipy little eyes.
As he was close by, he also heard what Principal Tian had said.
Just as Dong Mao was about to enter the office with some tea, Shen Jing pulled him aside into the teahouse.
Dong Mao carefully held the teapot, “Hey, hey, slow down, don’t spill my tea.”
He just didn’t want to deal with Shen Jing.
An average person, with nothing remarkable but a pretty face.
If it weren’t for the president’s sake, he could make him cry with just a move!
Shen Jing pulled him back into the teahouse, asking mysteriously, “You’ve been with the president for a long time, besides Miss Xia, has the president pursued anyone else?”
Dong Mao seriously recalled those long yet sweet months with his boss…
Then firmly stated, “No.”
Shen Jing nodded meaningfully, “That explains it, he lacks experience.”
“All this mystifying day by day,” Dong Mao glanced at him and was about to leave.
Shen Jing pulled him back again, “Haven’t you noticed after being with the president for so long?
His way of chasing girls just doesn’t work!
He does so much for Miss Xia all in secret, and Miss Xia doesn’t know a thing, like the sponsorship for First Middle School, surely you know the president did it for Miss Xia, right?”
Dong Mao nodded.
Shen Jing continued, “But when Principal Tian sent an invitation before, the president didn’t go.
And now when they personally call him, he still won’t go!”
Dong Mao felt it was quite typical, “That’s just his personality.
When it comes to anything related to Miss Xia, he’s always meticulous.
He does these things for Miss Xia’s sake, not expecting her to feel indebted…”
He was confidently explaining, but Shen Jing couldn’t listen anymore and interrupted, “No wonder Mr.
Jiang of Capital City can’t make any progress chasing a girl after nearly a month, it’s because you are too dense!
The president isn’t vocal, we must speak for him!
Otherwise, how could Miss Xia ever realize how good Mr.
Jiang is to her?
Are you just waiting for her to take the initiative like last time?
That’s not acceptable at all!”
Dong Mao usually hated listening to Shen Jing’s babble, but today, Shen Jing really struck a chord with him.
Chasing that young lady, it’s been more than a month?
If the real duration was disclosed, Shen Jing might actually faint from shock.
Could it be that the lack of progress between them was all because he’d been too inactive?
Thinking this, Dong Mao wore a face eager to learn, moving closer, “So, what do you suggest we do to help our boss?”
