As the topic's heroine, Student Lotus Sun still hadn't come to school today. What was unexpected was that instead of Student Lotus Sun, her grandfather had actually come … This chairman of Huaguo Water Curtain Group was a force to be reckoned with wherever he went.
Old Man Sun had acted suddenly this time, and no one had anticipated it. Otherwise, the school gate would have been surrounded by reporters from various major media outlets before the old man had arrived.
Old Man Sun hadn't come this time because he had nothing better to do, but because he had indeed come on official business. No. 60 High's renovation was about to start, and he had come to observe the school environment. Logically speaking, there was no need for a big shot at the board of directors to show up for the renovation of the school; it could just be handed over to the engineers under him.
So the truth was that everyone in the school had a rough idea of the old man's true purpose.
Seeing the old man's limousine stop at the school gate, Super Chen couldn't help crying out just by opening the window. "Damn, Wang Ling … the chairman of Huaguo Water Curtain Group is here! A father-in-law inspecting a son-in-law! "
Wang Ling almost spat out the chocolate milk in his mouth when he heard this.
What did he mean by a father-in-law inspecting a son-in-law …
It hadn't been decided yet, right?
Besides, Wang Ling himself didn't have much of an opinion.
He could only take it one step at a time.
Looking out the window, Wang Ling sighed in his heart.
…
The streets around No. 60 High had already been cordoned off, and Huaguo Water Curtain Group's bodyguards had them all surrounded. Of course, this cordoned off only targeted media reporters, and wouldn't affect ordinary people's normal travel.
After learning that Sun Yiyuan had arrived at the school gate, Headmaster Chen and Director Shi immediately went to the teachers' offices and had some teachers who weren't too busy come to the school gate to greet him.
"Mr Sun, there's no need to honor us with your presence …" At the school gate, Headmaster Chen took the initiative to shake Sun Yiyuan's hand.
Old Man Sun returned the handshake symbolically and took a photo with Headmaster Chen. Wang Ling saw this scene from a distance by the window, and reckoned that this photo would very likely appear in No. 60 High's school history museum one day in the future.
Although No. 60 High's election as a key city high school was still on the agenda, any school had to acknowledge its historical value. This was a hundred-year-old school that was hundreds or even thousands of years old. The combined age of the dozen or so cultivation schools in Peiyuan district could barely compare to No. 60 High.
"I've always been very concerned about the children's learning environment. Coming to No. 60 High this time, I realized that it was much better than I had imagined. It was just that it looked a little old, but the moment I stepped through the school gate, I smelled a thick scent of books. It's so nostalgic … "Old Man Sun spoke of his feelings as his entourage recorded them in a small notebook. Every teacher who came out to welcome them was beaming with joy.
As the chairman of the Huaguo Water Curtain Group, Old Master Sun Yiyuan had met many big shots. His ability to speak was naturally excellent, and it made people feel comfortable, like a spring breeze.
Although Headmaster Chen couldn't compare to Old Man Sun, he knew that these were just polite words, so he didn't get carried away. Instead, he showed a gratified smile and made an inviting gesture. "Mr. Sun, please take a seat in my office."
…
In the headmaster's office, Headmaster Chen poured a cup of tea for Old Man Sun. This was the best tea he could offer. Old Man Sun took a whiff of the tea and frowned. Then, he took a symbolic sip and put down the teacup.
Then, Old Man Sun said, "Given Rongrong's grades, we could have sent her to a better school back then. But it was Rongrong's own decision to study at No. 60 High, so I didn't stop her. "
Headmaster Chen nodded. "Student Lotus Sun's grades are indeed outstanding. In our No. 60 High's history list, her grades are currently in the top ten."
"After all, she's my granddaughter; it's only natural for her to reach this standard." Old Man Sun was so happy that he couldn't hide the smile on his face at all. "But the truth is that No. 60 High and my Huaguo Water Curtain Group also have a deep connection."
Headmaster Chen: "???"
Old Man Sun: "Back then, there was a river called Beifeng in No. 60 High's location."
Speaking up to this point, Headmaster Chen immediately understood. "There is a river. It's a river from before No. 60 High was built. But later, as the climate changed, the riverbed dried up. In the end, this piece of land changed hands several times. First, it was developed into a mausoleum, and then it was reopened to build a school. "
"That's right, that's it."
Old Man Sun said, "Back then, my ancestor used the water of this Beifeng River to successfully refine the first pill. That's why I say that No. 60 High is actually fated with us."
Headmaster Chen was blank when he heard this. He had never thought that there would be such a secret story between No. 60 High and Huaguo Water Curtain Group.
"My ancestor's first pill was refined here. This place can be used as a mausoleum and a school, so there's no need to say more about the feng shui of this land. So after a hundred years, I've come here again to help No. 60 High with the new construction, so my ancestor's feelings for this land back then haven't been in vain, "Old Man Sun said.
After a few exchanges, the atmosphere gradually warmed up. Now that the topic had been opened, they could naturally talk about anything.
The truth was that Old Man Sun had wanted to ask about Xia Ming and Wang Ling as soon as he entered the school gates. It was just that there had been too many people at the time, and he had been too embarrassed to ask. Now that they were sitting in the headmaster's office and the topic was open, Old Man Sun knew that the time had come to ask.
"Well, Headmaster Chen … what do you think about Student Xia and Student Wang?" After laying the groundwork for a long time, Old Man Sun finally picked up the topic he wanted to ask.
Headmaster Chen had already known that Old Man Sun was going to ask about this, and naturally had already prepared a script in his heart. "Don't worry, Mr Sun, our school will definitely handle this matter impartially and teach Student Xia and Student Wang to focus their limited energy on their studies … It's normal for young people to be impulsive. Student Xia and Student Sun are both forthright people, so it's inevitable. As for Student Wang, he's actually a more introverted child … "
"He's introverted? So he's from a single-parent family? "Old Man Sun's interest was suddenly piqued when Wang Ling was mentioned.
"No, his parents are still alive. It could be that his family environment has influenced his character since he was young. But Student Wang's grades are still very stable … "Headmaster Chen wanted to say that Wang Ling was outstanding, but then remembered that Wang Ling's grades seemed to always be above average. Using the word "outstanding" was a little exaggerated; it was more appropriate to use "stable" to describe him.
But as soon as he said it, Headmaster Chen regretted it a little.
He felt that if it was just a matter of getting average grades for a period of time, that might be considered stable.
But for a student who could always get average grades … it wasn't too much to describe him as outstanding!
