High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 79 - 78: The Homeroom Teacher’s Gold Content Keeps Rising
The Qingbei admissions office has people all over the country.
After receiving news from Li Yang’s parents, they immediately contacted people nearby and rushed over overnight.
Similarly, reporters from Zhongyuan were informed by Li Yang and hurried over as well.
First-hand news is extremely important, as it is every year for the top provincial student.
Especially when it’s heard that this year’s top student’s parents are still working at a construction site, the topic becomes even more explosive.
When Li Yijun arrived, he found he couldn’t squeeze in at all.
But he quickly found the reporters’ drivers, handed them two cigarettes, and soon became acquainted.
"Brother, why are you guys here?"
Seeing the cigarettes, the driver said, "We’re from the TV station, here for an interview."
"Which TV station?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Li Yijun’s heart skipped a beat; it couldn’t be Focus Interview, could it?
Geez, is that show still running?
Besides, I’m not worthy!
"Zhongyuan TV Station..."
"Hmm? What are you here for?"
"To interview the top student’s parents. This year the province’s exam scores are out, a student named Li Yang’s parents are working here at a construction site... The Qingbei admissions office is inside too. If you are relatives, you should quickly join in, you’re bound to be on the news."
Li Yijun: "..."
He shivered all over.
Forcing a smile: "Thank you, brother, my family is really related to Li Yang. I’m his cousin, I should hurry and get in on camera."
After speaking, he left two more cigarettes then walked away.
Instead of squeezing in at the first moment, he found his sister-in-law and said, "You quickly go to the bank, bring back sixty thousand yuan..."
"What’s wrong?"
"Don’t ask so many questions, hurry up! No wait, make it a hundred thousand!"
"Li Yijun, you haven’t given me any money this year, asking for a hundred thousand, are you expecting me to cover the cost? Don’t make me go ask my sister for it!"
Li Yijun quickly said, "No, no, no, don’t think too much, it’s just borrowing for now, I’ll pay you back double soon, hurry up, time is running out..."
This morning Li Likun did say they had a train ticket for eleven o’clock.
"That’s more like it..."
...
Li Yijun washed his face, completely waking up.
Damn, he almost made a mistake!
So cautious over the years, yet almost fell into a trap?
He never dreamed that Li Yang could become the top provincial student.
Damn it, wasn’t it said that guy’s academic performance wasn’t great?
Even if Li Yang got into some top university, he wouldn’t care, but being the top provincial student, for a school like Qingbei, it’s completely different.
Even if he doesn’t necessarily become successful, at least he can quickly gain access to a lot of networking resources at the moment.
What if he doesn’t do his best now, and Li Yang becomes unhappy, targeting him?
Though he’s made money, he’s essentially just a contractor...
No matter what mistakes he makes, even if they are mere survival tactics, in some people’s eyes, regardless if it’s actually a mistake, even if just leading with his right foot through the door, it can become a reason and excuse for others.
Sixty thousand is his way of not leaving any evidence against himself, the other forty thousand is his share for wanting to connect with Li Yang, the top student.
After arranging everything, he immediately squeezed into Li Likun’s room.
At this moment, Li Likun and Wang Cuiping were sitting on an iron bed, very nervous, even trying to avoid the camera.
After great effort, Li Yijun finally managed to squeeze in.
"Uncle, Aunt, what’s going on here? I thought something happened, scared me to death..."
Li Yijun spoke as he subtly moved next to Li Likun.
Li Likun said rather embarrassedly, "Boss, these are people from the TV station and Qingbei admissions office. I’ll ask them to leave in a moment."
He also knew Li Yijun might be sensitive to reporters.
Unexpectedly, Li Yijun immediately said, "Uncle, please don’t call me Boss, you’re shortening my life... Also... what are these? Qingbei admissions office?"
"Yes, Yangyang became the top student. They’re saying Yangyang isn’t sure which school to choose, and they’re listening to us..."
Seeing so many reporters, Li Likun completely believed Li Yang was truly the top student. Previously, he was uncertain, but now he dared to say it.
He’s the top student! He’s the top student! Qingbei is vying for him!
He’s more confident than ever!
His son is so outstanding, who knows, the Li Family’s genealogy might just branch out from here!
To Li Yijun, initially he only heard the driver say something, now he received confirmation from Li Likun himself, making the situation completely clear.
Li Yang truly became the province’s top scorer!
And Li Yang didn’t directly take charge, but instead let the admissions office and reporters come directly to the construction site...
Clearly, it’s meant to support his parents.
"Yangyang really scored well? This is huge news, let’s not stay here, come on, I’ll treat everyone to a hotel, we can chat while we eat."
Finishing his words, Li Yijun prepared to help Li Likun up.
As a result, Li Likun said, "I have an eleven o’clock train to catch here, boss... about that money..."
Li Yijun quickly replied, "Uncle, just call me Junzi, like you did when I was a kid... about the wages, I’ve already arranged everything, a full sixty thousand, not a penny less, will be sent over soon."
Upon hearing this, Li Likun smiled, "That’s great."
Li Yijun continued, "And about the train ticket, taking the train back is so slow. Wait a bit, and ride in my car. I’ll personally drive Uncle and Aunt back, it’ll only take seven or eight hours at most."
...
For Li Yijun, this was also his opportunity.
He wasn’t short of money. If he really wanted to take out cash, he would’ve amassed a fortune worth tens of millions over the years.
What he lacked were resources and connections.
If he had those, he could’ve taken out ten million and entered the real estate industry by himself long ago. Why would he bother being a contractor?
Isn’t being a real estate developer more profitable?
He indeed earned a few million a year, but essentially, it was small change that the big bosses didn’t appreciate. He did the work well, and they rewarded him.
If he could establish a good relationship with Li Yang this time, perhaps Li Yang’s short-term connections could be lent to him.
Not to mention the long-term connections he would gain after going to Qingbei.
If he made a name for himself at Qingbei, he could only imagine how thick this "golden leg" would be.
Better to seize this chance while he could.
He brought along the journalists and the recruitment office staff to a hotel six kilometers away from the construction site, specially arranging three tables.
...
Liu Dayou woke up around nine in the morning.
Thinking about last night made him grit his teeth in anger.
Later, he checked Jiang Banxia’s score, and it was indeed 687, after which the alcohol hit him.
For other students, he couldn’t be bothered checking; it didn’t matter anymore.
Anyway, with Jiang Banxia’s score, she was definitely getting into Qingbei.
Upon waking up, he found his wife scolding their daughter, instantly sparking his fury again.
He directly said, "Liu Meng, how can you still cry! Do you think you’ve lived up to our efforts over the years? 490 points, how do you have the face to come back with that? If I were you, I’d just die!"
Even after scolding her, he still felt unsatisfied, but he knew he definitely had to make an appearance today, given that his student got into Qingbei, his contribution as a class teacher couldn’t be small?
The repeaters class was indeed good, but based on past scores, not one could compete for Qingbei.
He planned to see what’s going on in the group...
He only realized his phone was dead after finding it.
He hurriedly went to charge it, and while it was charging, went to the living room to scold Liu Meng a bit more.
Then... they found chat records with a boy on Liu Meng’s phone.
The more he looked, the angrier Liu Dayou became!
No wonder Liu Meng was so distracted at the last stage, it turned out she was in love!
He just knew that being in love would definitely affect her grades!
From the chat records, he found out the blond boy’s name was Dong Hao...
"Don’t let me find out who the hell you are! If I do, I’ll kill you!"
points, this score is the most awkward.
It would probably barely pass the second-tier line, but not by much.
In other words, it would be difficult for his daughter to even get into a decent second-tier university, she’d definitely fail the application process.
Unless she went for some unknown and relatively poor programs within the province.
Retake the exam?
Given his daughter’s dimwitted appearance, how many points could she gain in another year? Moreover, after this experience, she might score even worse next year.
"From today on, you stay at home! Hand over your phone! If you dare step out, I’ll break your legs!"
Right after he finished speaking, the phone, now charged, turned on automatically.
Within less than a minute, the phone began to ring while charging.
Liu Dayou wanted to vent a bit more, but seeing it was a call from the principal, he held back.
Why would the principal call? It was surely about Jiang Banxia’s score.
And calling as soon as the phone was on, it showed the principal was anxious.
Previously, it was most likely just Jiang Banxia from the entire school got into Qingbei, now with the principal’s attitude, it was certain.
Not daring to waste any time, he said to Liu Meng, "You’re just lucky Jiang Banxia got into Qingbei, otherwise I’d have beaten you to death today!"
Then, he said to his wife, "And you, you can’t even watch her properly and let her date. I’ll deal with you after I’m done!"
After saying this, he quickly took his phone and charger to the bedroom, plugged it in by the bed, and immediately answered the call.
Just after answering, an anxious voice came from the other end of the line.
"Liu, what’s going on? Why has your phone been off all this time?"
Liu Dayou calmly replied, "Principal, I was just too happy last night. After checking Jiang Banxia’s scores, I got excited and had a few drinks, ended up not realizing my phone ran out of battery."
Having a few drinks, so what? There’s no class right now.
Besides, his student got into Qingbei, shouldn’t he celebrate a little?
He shouldn’t be paying for this drink himself, you know.
The principal was anxious? Well, he should be, after all, Jiang Banxia scored 687, setting a new record for the school’s best college entrance exam score. His value as a class teacher was still rising!
