Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Do it this way
'Does Qiuling's father look down on Zhijie?' Feng Yuxuan poured some foot bath water for her younger brother, then went to his room to help him make the bed and pack his luggage. In the middle, she ran to the door and said, 'In the future, you don't need to bring clothes when you come back. I'll buy you some sets to keep at home, so you don't have to go to the trouble.'
'That's fine,'
Since his rebirth, there have been many changes. He doesn't say anything, but regardless of the season, he finally has the luxury of changing his shirt every day.
As for jackets, he can't do that yet. He always feels that it's quite a waste of resources. He changes his shirt today, but doesn't wash it, just hangs it in the closet. A few days later, he wears it again. Is that really necessary?
Of course, he is guessing from his own incorrigible loser mentality. He thinks that those people in Europe and the United States probably have their suits dry-cleaned immediately after wearing them for a day.
He can't do that. Apart from a few expensive suits, all his other clothes cost a few hundred yuan each. The trend nowadays is that you're not supposed to wash any clothes, and if you do, you should dry-clean them after wearing them for just one day.
Feng Yuxuan came into the living room with the pillowcase and pillow, and while she was putting the pillowcase on the pillow, she said, 'My parents always say that you should listen to what they say, but I'm afraid your teacher doesn't like Zhi Jie.' She asked again.
'I don't think so,' Feng Yiping had just told Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning.
'It's not impossible. He's the principal of a junior high school, right? Principals of middle schools actually have a good status in the town, and they're not like those people in the government. How should I put it?' She couldn't find the right words for a moment.
'Transcendental?' Feng Yiping tried to pick up on it.
'Yes, detached. He eats public sector wages, but people scold the town mayor, the village chief, but no one scolds the school principal!
On the contrary, they all respect them. And they also have the opportunity to transfer to the government and become officials in the future. I hope that the first two principals of the primary school are now both mayors in the county, don't you think so? It's really possible that he doesn't look down on Zhi Jie's family.' She analysed a lot.
'But I think Zhi Jie is quite good. His family is well-off, right? He's also a nice person, sensible, quick to respond, and especially sensitive to numbers. He also has a way with people, which is better than Changning's. Changning is often too shy to speak.'
Now that she was the only one stationed at the provincial capital, she probably didn't have anyone to talk to about these things, so she took the opportunity to pour out her heart to her listener.
'That's possible,' Feng Yiping nodded.
'So what are you going to do?' Feng Yuxuan asked.
'I'm going to take Principal Zhang to the company tomorrow for a tour, and then take him to Zhijie's house to have a look,'
Feng Yiping actually didn't have much contact with Principal Zhang, but judging from himself, he didn't see Principal Zhang as someone who would dedicate his youth and his whole life, or even his descendants, to the cause of education.
The reason Principal Zhang insisted on that arrangement for Zhang Qiuling was probably because he felt that was the best arrangement, and the most cost-effective.
Then he probably also wanted Zhang Qiuling to marry someone from the system, such as someone from the town's education team or the county education bureau. This would be good not only for Zhang Qiuling, but also for him.
The specific reasons are unclear, so let's just think of it this way for now!
Tomorrow, take Principal Zhang on a good tour, so that he can open his eyes to the outside world, and also make him think about whether Zhang Qiuling, who has already seen it all, would still be satisfied with this arrangement.
The places to visit were carefully chosen. The first stop was Zhitong Company, where the teacher was to be introduced to technology.
The Zhitong of today is very different from the Zhitong of the past. Although it still rents office space, it has the air of a technology company.
Not to mention the high-tech lobby and reception area, once you enter the office area, you will see hundreds of neatly arranged computers – and there are also many laptops. Principal Zhang's eyes widened as he looked at the people busily working at the computers.
You have to understand that Liangjiahe Middle School now has only two computers in total, one in the office and one in the finance room.
Principal Zhang also felt a sense of energy, different from the classrooms and also from the town, which doesn't really have much to do with the word 'modern'. It seemed a bit dreamlike, but standing here you feel that this is the representative of this era, this is the direction of the future.
'You two have been here before, show Principal Zhang around. Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry, I need to go discuss something, I'll come back to keep you company,'
'Go ahead, I'll be fine with them two showing me around.' Principal Zhang was looking at the whiteboard in one of the meeting rooms, trying to figure out what was written on it.
Hong Haoran was also busy sitting behind the computer, tapping away at the keyboard. When he saw Feng Yiping come in, he took the laptop next to him and said, 'After General Jin told me, I gathered experienced people in the company and held a meeting. However, no one in the company has experience building a website of this scale, so we are still feeling our way and haven't written many programs.'
Feng Yiping looked at the computer and wondered if he knew those programs on it. 'I can't give any advice until the website is finished. As for Zhitong, of course you should focus on your own work. But you won't be working for nothing on the website. After it's set up, Jiasheng Motors will give you real money, which is equivalent to getting you a big business.'
'It's fine if we work for nothing,' Hong Haoran said with a smile. 'We're all brother companies. Of course, we'll welcome the money.'
With the healthy development of Zhitong, Hong Haoran, a science student, can now play with humour, which is not bad.
'How many relevant personnel are in place at the website?'
Feng Yiping spread his hands, 'Apart from me as the boss, none. This is also another task for you and President Jin to go to the United States in the middle of the year. The chief operating officer and chief technology officer can be hired from there, and the same goes for Zhitong. You can also take this opportunity to attract more talent. If there are a lot of people who want to join but are not willing to work in China, you can consider setting up a branch office there.'
'That's great, I've been worried about this. At this stage, there aren't many highly skilled people who are willing to return to work in China or come to work in our country. If we can set up a branch or an office in the United States, that would solve my big problem.' Hong Haoran said happily.
'This shows that I'm a good boss, right? You haven't even mentioned the difficulties, and I've already solved them for you,'
Hong Haoran gave a thumbs-up, 'For sure!'
On the way to the Jiasheng Holiday Inn, Principal Zhang was still in shock from what he had just seen, "Such a big company, so many employees, and so much equipment. How well does your software sell?'
'It has developed quite quickly over the past two years. Although the investment was high, sales have been quite good," High technology generally means high profits.
At this point, the car had already reached Yanjiang Avenue. Xiao Zhijie pointed to the unforgettable building across the street and said, 'That's the hotel Yiping was talking about,'
'Ah?' Principal Zhang looked at the building complex across the street, "It's so big? I thought it would be similar to the one I'm staying at,'
'The one I'm staying at is a budget hotel, this one was built to five-star standards," Xiao Zhijie said.
When they arrived in front of the hotel, they felt even more of its grandeur. From the large arch in the middle, you can see the lake behind it, and the railings surrounding it in the distance. 'This whole area is yours?'
'Yes, from the riverbank to the large area behind it all,' Feng Yiping did not take them into the hotel, as it was being renovated at the time and the noise from downstairs was very loud.
Most of the decoration of the grand ballroom was in place. Feng Yiping took Teacher Zhang inside for a tour and also took a distant look at the water park, which was also under construction. Principal Zhang looked at the hotel in the back for a while and then looked at the rolling Yangtze River in the front, not saying much.
'Teacher Zhang, this hotel is our biggest investment project and one of the biggest in Binjiang District. Not counting the land on the other side of the lake, we will develop it into a high-end residential area in the future. That's why we have a good relationship with the Binjiang District government right now. If you want, Qiu Ling won't mind, and we can transfer her to a key primary school in Binjiang District,' Feng Yiping said.
With just a normal teacher's diploma, it's quite difficult for Zhang Qiu Ling to get into a middle school.
Teacher Zhang was obviously interested. 'I'm afraid it's not easy,'
Generally speaking, it's not easy. Back then, Feng Yiping's homeroom teacher went to so much trouble and waited for so many years just to be transferred to the county.
'There's no problem transferring here, but I really can't guarantee that Qiuling will be able to become a leader. However, there are many advantages. First, it will be easier for her to pursue further studies. In addition, your grandchildren's education will be guaranteed, from kindergarten to high school, and there is no problem with entering a prestigious school.
You also said that adults work hard for their families and future generations. We don't mean to belittle ourselves, but at this stage, the education level in the province is definitely better than in our town, don't you agree?'
'Of course. Apart from a few schools in a few cities, the level of the schools in the provincial capital is definitely the best in the province, and the hardware is also good,' said Principal Zhang.
'So do you agree?' Feng Yiping asked.
'Thank you for your kindness. Of course I would like Qiu Ling to work in the province, but we also have to think about it and consult her opinion,' Principal Zhang said after a moment's thought.
'I don't mean anything by it, but now that I've had a bit of luck and achieved something, I want to do what I can to help the students develop better. If the students develop well, then our future will be smooth.
Of course, the path you've planned for Qiuling is also good. I can't say which is best.
But I can guarantee one thing: as long as our hotel is here, and as long as our company is here, Qiuling's position in the district school will definitely be secure.'
Zhang Shouliang took Feng Yiping's words to heart.
His original plan was not bad, but it would take a few years to get Zhang Qiuling to the position of director of teaching at the town middle school, and it was not certain that it would succeed.
Today, Feng Yiping's options opened another door for him. Which was better, the position of director of teaching at the town middle school, which was not guaranteed after many years, or a formal position at the key primary school in the province?
There were also some minor problems with Feng Yiping's arrangements. In the end, when they arrived at Xiao Zhijie's house, it was probably the previous two places that had given Principal Zhang too big a shock. He wasn't too interested in Xiao Zhijie's house. Of course, the main reason was probably that he was still thinking about whether or not to let his daughter come to the provincial capital.
So when Xiao Zhijie gave him the sea cucumbers and tea that Feng Yiping had brought back, he didn't look at them carefully, and after a little hesitation, he accepted them. It wasn't until they got back to the hotel that he realised that they were both very valuable. The next morning, before getting into the car, he firmly refused to accept them, saying, 'If you still consider me a teacher, then take these back.'
Carrying the two things, and watching the car go away, Xiao Zhijie worriedly asked, 'Do you think it will work?'
Wang Changning patted him on the shoulder and said, 'How can happiness come so easily? It's good that it's now public knowledge. Principal Zhang didn't let you meet Qiu Ling in private, so in the future you should go to his house in a big way. If they won't let you in, just wait outside, refuse with a poker face, and pester them.'
'Don't tell Qiu Ling that her father came, but find some time to talk to her about coming to work in the province and find out what she thinks,' Feng Yiping said.
