"Teacher Kong."
Ling Yun smiled at Kong Xiuru and was the first to enter the house. He looked around and realized that Kong Xiuru's house was still the same as before. It was clean and tidy, simple and elegant.
"Good evening, Teacher Kong."
Cao Shanshan and Zhang Ling greeted Kong Xiuru at the same time and followed Ling Yun to Kong Xiuru's house. They stood by the shoe cabinet at the door to change their shoes.
"Uh …"
Ling Yun was already sitting on the sofa. He wore his shoes directly and was stunned when he saw Cao Shanshan and Zhang Ling changing their shoes.
"It's nothing."
Kong Xiuru closed the door and turned to enter the house. She noticed Ling Yun's awkward situation and could not help but feel a little amused.
She then turned to Cao Shanshan and Zhang Ling and asked, "Shanshan, what would you like to drink?"
Cao Shanshan had already taken off her shoes. She smiled and walked straight to Kong Xiuru's kitchen, saying, "Teacher Kong, we can take whatever we want to drink. You don't have to worry about it."
Zhang Ling yelled at Cao Shanshan's back, "Shanshan, help me get a bottle of iced red tea."
Ling Yun was even more shocked. These two are even more familiar with the form teacher's house than I am? Looking at this, it seems like they are in their own house. Isn't this too casual?
However, Ling Yun suddenly understood. Cao Shanshan and Zhang Ling used to be the class monitor and history class representative of Grade 12 Class 6. They were definitely Kong Xiuru's "direct disciples". They must have come here many times in the three years of high school. Of course, they would be more familiar with the place than he was.
Kong Xiuru's beautiful face was filled with a happy smile. Her three favorite students came to her house right after they received their university acceptance letters. Obviously, they still missed her.
Well, there was a student who used to be the worst in his class, but when it came to the college entrance examination, he successfully completed a shocking counterattack and obtained the first place in the province in one fell swoop. Instead, he became the top scorer of the college entrance examination in Jiangnan Province.
"Ling Yun, I heard that you … went into seclusion. How are you now?"
Kong Xiuru struggled to find the right words and finally managed to say the word 'seclusion'. Her pretty face was a little embarrassed and shy as she asked in a concerned tone.
"Hehe, aren't I out now? I'm fine now."
Ling Yun casually sat on the sofa and flashed a bright smile, skipping over the question.
Even though Kong Xiuru appeared to be indifferent, he knew that she was actually very concerned about him.
"Well, that's good. Did you get the acceptance letter from Peking University?"
Kong Xiuru asked again.
"I got it. It's in my bag now. I'll show it to you now."
Cao Shanshan walked out of the kitchen with three bottles of drinks in her hands. She smiled and answered on behalf of Ling Yun. She then put down the drinks in her hands and went straight to her handbag.
"Teacher, I've brought my university admission letter. It's from China Media University. Take a look."
Not to be outdone, Zhang Ling took out her university acceptance letter from her handbag.
"Sit down and talk."
Kong Xiuru's face lit up with joy. She took both of their acceptance letters and examined them carefully.
"Sigh, in the blink of an eye, all of you have graduated. In a little more than a month, all of you will be going to university."
Kong Xiuru sighed slightly as she sighed.
Then, as if recalling something, Kong Xiuru turned to look at Cao Shanshan. She frowned slightly and said with a hint of heartache, "It's a pity, Shanshan …"
Cao Shanshan smiled brightly and shook her head. "Teacher, don't worry about me. With my current situation, even if I get into university, I won't be able to go there."
"Teacher, how's the admission situation for the other students in our class?"
After Cao Shanshan finished talking about herself, she immediately changed the topic and asked about the situation of the class's admission.
Kong Xiuru smiled. "We received quite a lot of calls today. Out of the forty-eight students in our class, thirty-seven have gotten into university and twenty-two have gotten into the first level. This year, our enrolment rate is the highest in the province!"
Under China's education system, the most important thing to be a teacher was to have an enrolment rate. Kong Xiuru definitely had the right to be proud of the results of Grade 12 Class 6 in Qingshui High.
Ling Yun chuckled. "Hehe, looks like I didn't lower our enrolment rate this time. I didn't embarrass our form teacher. Not bad, I deserve to be praised and praised …"
Kong Xiuru, Cao Shanshan, and Zhang Ling burst into laughter at the same time. Kong Xiuru glared at Ling Yun and said, "You're still talking about it? You almost got zero. You almost scared me to death!"
Kong Xiuru still felt a lingering fear and indignation when she talked about the college entrance examination results being substituted.
Ling Yun opened his drink and casually took two sips. Suddenly, he asked seriously, "Teacher Kong, I'll be going to Beijing soon. What are your plans?"
This was the reason why Ling Yun came to Kong Xiuru's house that night.
He knew that Kong Xiuru's home was in Beijing. It was only because she encountered some unbearable problems that she chose to come to Qingshui City to teach. She had been teaching for so many years.
"Hmm …"
Kong Xiuru did not expect Ling Yun to ask her about this. She was momentarily taken aback. She gently bit her lower lip and lowered her head.
Seeing this, Ling Yun could not help but sigh in his heart.
It seemed like the trauma in Kong Xiuru's heart was still very big!
Ling Yun was slightly annoyed. What exactly did Kong Xiuru encounter that caused her to become like this?!
However, it was not convenient for Ling Yun to ask directly in front of Cao Shanshan and Zhang Ling. Helpless, he could only give up for now.
Ling Yun changed the topic and asked, "Teacher, let me ask you something. You are now the grade director of Qingshui High. This year, our school's enrolment rate is so high. You should be rewarded accordingly, right?"
Ling Yun's question was simply a nonsensical one!
Was there a need to ask? As the grade director of Qingshui High, Kong Xiuru's contribution to the high enrolment rate was definitely the greatest.
Zhang Ling usually communicated more with Kong Xiuru. After hearing this, she could not help but roll her eyes at Ling Yun and said, "Ling Yun, you idiot. Is there a need to ask? Let me tell you, our old teacher is now the vice-principal of Qingshui High. His rank is only below Principal Zhang! "
"Vice-principal?"
Ling Yun mumbled to himself. In his heart, he felt that something was not right. His goal was not as simple as making Kong Xiuru the vice-principal of Qingshui High.
Seeing that Kong Xiuru was silent, Ling Yun could not help but laugh in his heart. He deliberately asked, "Teacher Kong, let me ask you something. Do you plan to return to Beijing?"
Ling Yun's question seemed to be forcing Kong Xiuru to make a decision.
If Kong Xiuru returned to Beijing, Ling Yun would naturally make arrangements. As long as Kong Xiuru was willing, it did not matter what she wanted to do as long as she was in Beijing. After all, he did not lack money.
However, if Kong Xiuru was unwilling to return to Beijing, then Ling Yun would have to make arrangements for her in Qingshui City.
"Hmm … I feel that Qingshui City is not bad. The scenery is beautiful. Moreover, I have been here for so long. I'm already used to it."
Kong Xiuru quickly stated her choice. Obviously, she did not think of it on the spot. She had already made up her mind.
Ling Yun did not pay much attention to Kong Xiuru's answer. He only smiled and asked, "Teacher Kong, since you plan to stay in Qingshui City, do you have any plans to become an official?"
Kong Xiuru was a little stunned. "Official? What kind of official? "
Ling Yun laughed. "Why, have you forgotten? The positions of Director of Education in Qingshui City and Director of Education in Jiangnan Province are still empty. "
At this point, Ling Yun paused for a moment. His eyes were like lightning as he stared at Kong Xiuru's beautiful face.
"Do you want to be a Director or a Director? Just let me know. I'll do it tomorrow."
Qingshui City's Municipal Party Secretary, Li Yifeng, had already returned to Qingshui City. Ling Yun planned to visit Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao the next day. One reason was to find out what was going on in Beijing. The other was, of course, to get an official's hat.
Li Yifeng was in charge of the official's hat in Qingshui City. Based on Ling Yun's current relationship with Li Yifeng, as well as his status and power in Qingshui City, he felt that it should not be difficult.
"Ah! Director of Education … Director of the Provincial Education Department? This … "
Kong Xiuru was completely dumbfounded. Only now did she understand what Ling Yun was planning.
However, very quickly, Kong Xiuru blushed and laughed at herself. She glared at Ling Yun and said angrily, "What kind of joke is this?! With my rank, I don't have the qualifications! "
Ling Yun laughed. "Teacher Kong, I'm really not bragging. If I say that you have the qualifications, then you really do. It's just a matter of whether you're willing to be an official or not."
Ling Yun was very confident. Even if Li Yifeng didn't agree, would Old Master Ling of the Ling Family, his own grandfather, Ling Lie, not agree?
When he rescued Tang Tianhao, Ling Yun only had to make a phone call to the four provincial leaders of Jiangnan Province, and they immediately released him. What more a small matter like this?
Seeing Ling Yun's serious face, Kong Xiuru felt that Ling Yun really wasn't joking. She couldn't help but be shocked. She said in a panic, "Ling Yun, don't mess around. Even if you have the ability, I won't be an official. I don't even know how to be an official …"
Ling Yun said nonchalantly, "Teacher, you don't have to worry about this at all. Just like how you are a form teacher now, you just have to know how to manage people."
Kong Xiuru was even more flustered. She waved her hands and said, "No, no, definitely not. It sounds like a fantasy …"
The corner of Ling Yun's mouth curled up slightly. His eyes were full of deep meaning. He stared at Kong Xiuru and said, "Teacher, then why don't you come with me to Beijing?"
This was something that Kong Xiuru couldn't accept. She rejected directly. "Teacher, I said I won't go to Beijing."
Ling Yun nodded and made his decision. "That's fine. If you want to stay in Qingshui City, do as I say. Also, Principal Zhang's position has to be shifted. I owe him a big favor."
"These two positions, one for each of you!"
In just a few words, Ling Yun had decided on the positions of the bureau chief and the head of the department.
Cao Shanshan and Zhang Ling looked at each other with their mouths agape. (To be continued.)
