The young female teacher Jasmine looked at Ling Xiao with curious eyes.
Zhou Changde looked at Ling Xiao with indifferent eyes. He seemed to have a great prejudice against the rich and the leadership. Under this prejudice, he would not change his prejudice against Ling Xiao just because of what Ling Xiao said.
.
Zhou Changde's reaction made Ling Xiao's doubts become more and more intense. He looked at Zhou Changde and said: "Principal Zhou, I, Ling Xiao, am not the kind of person you imagine who uses children to put money on his face.
In fact, he is a doctor..."
Before Ling Xiao could finish his explanation, Jasmine, who hadn't said a word to Ling Xiao, suddenly interrupted Ling Xiao, looking very surprised, "You...are you Dr. Ling Xiaoling? The one from Goddess Village?"
Ling Xiao nodded, "It's me."
Jasmine suddenly smiled, "I thought you looked familiar, but it turns out it's really you."
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Have we met somewhere?"
"You are so famous in Batian City. Even if we have never met, I have read reports about you in newspapers. Some reports include your photo." Jasmine said, "We have never met, but I
I have seen you in the newspaper and I know some of your deeds, but you are indeed not that kind of person."
Ling Xiao smiled gratefully at Jasmine. Compared with him trying to explain his purpose and motivation, Jasmine's kind words at this time were better. Although the kind words were short and simple.
Sure enough, Zhou Changde's face softened immediately after Jasmine's kind words. He looked at Ling Xiao and then at Jasmine, "I rarely read those newspapers that praise virtues. I am very ignorant. Teacher Jasmine, tell me this."
What happened to Mr. Ling?"
Jasmine pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Principal Zhou, you really should pay attention to the outside world. This is Mr. Ling, the manager of the Goddess Pharmaceutical Company in the Goddess Village. He is a well-known true and kind person. Many patients with no money come to him for treatment."
It’s all free of charge. When he said he was coming to help and bring gifts to the children, he meant it. He would never do anything like using children to put money on his face.”
Zhou Changde patted his forehead lightly and said with shame: "Oh, I'm so rude...Mr. Ling, please sit down and I'll pour you a glass of boiled water. I don't have any tea here, so just make do with it."
Then, he went to get a cup and poured boiling water for Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao hurriedly said: "Principal Zhou, there's no need to be polite. I'm a very casual person."
"How can that be done? I don't have tea to entertain you. I always have to pour a glass of boiled water." Zhou Changde poured a glass of boiled water for Ling Xiao and even moved a stool for Ling Xiao to sit on.
The attitude before and after was completely different, but Ling Xiao knew that this Zhou Changde was not trying to curry favor with him, because Zhou Changde was not the kind of person who would curry favor with others at all. The reason why Zhou Changde had such a change in attitude was very simple, just because
Jasmine said that he really came to help the children here.
"Principal Zhou, can you tell me what's going on?" Ling Xiao took a sip of boiled water. Someone poured it for him. Although he was not thirsty, he still had to take a sip, otherwise he would look a little pretentious and impolite.
.
"What...what's going on?" Zhou Changde thought about Ling Xiao's words for a moment, and then said awkwardly: "Mr. Ling, I am a straight person. I can't speak, let alone please others. I really didn't know just now.
Your identity. If I have offended you, I apologize to you here."
"No, no, no..." Ling Xiao waved his hand quickly, "Principal Zhou, you have been misunderstood. I didn't mean that. What I'm asking is, why was the school not prepared at all even though it knew that a leader was coming to hold an event? Also, today
It’s Children’s Day, the children shouldn’t be studying, why are they all in class?”
No one can figure this kind of thing out.
Zhou Changde was silent for a moment before saying: "Mr. Ling, you don't know that I did this on purpose. The children have class today and have a holiday tomorrow. We have also prepared a celebration, but we have to wait until those officials and reporters have left."
Ling Xiao asked in surprise: "Why?"
"Huh!" Zhou Changde said angrily: "You don't know that this school was built with a donation of one million yuan from a company. People from the County Education Bureau contracted the project to an unqualified contractor. Then
This guy built the school with less than 100,000 yuan. I went to the county education bureau, but the officials always used one excuse or another to deal with me. When I went to the companies that donated money, they didn't care at all and even ridiculed me.
They say that I am nosy and dissatisfied. What do you think about it when the school is already under construction? People near the school think that I have embezzled a lot of money from it. I am mute and cannot tell how hard it is to eat Coptis chinensis."
Ling Xiao's brows also furrowed. What he hated most were the kind of dog officials who took people's food and did nothing for others.
Jasmine also said: "The school originally had thirty faculty and staff, and those with qualifications were transferred to schools with better conditions. Those without qualifications were also transferred through connections. Now there are only seven old teachers left. I
She is the youngest, but..." She smiled bitterly, "I am a substitute teacher, the kind of teacher with the least qualifications. I don't even have a salary now. I teach here for nothing."
"How is this possible?" Ling Xiao said in surprise.
Without waiting for Jasmine to explain, Zhou Changde interrupted and said: "Jasmine is Mongolian. Her full name is not Jasmine, but Huhe Jasmine. She is a volunteer. She graduated from university and came to the west to support education in mountain villages. Her teaching level is very good.
Gao, the children also like her very much, but the officials from the county education bureau insisted on obstructing me because I approached them to ask for an explanation. They even refused to recognize Jasmine’s identity as a teacher. Thinking of this, I felt panicked.
, I feel very sorry for Jasmine. Jasmine teaches here, but she still needs her family to send her money to live on. Mr. Ling, tell me, this is what people do? Can I not be angry? "
It turns out that her name is Huhe Moli, and she is a Mongolian. No wonder she has such a proud figure and height. The higher the altitude, the colder the climate, the larger the human body. But she is not a strong type.
, just tall and very beautiful.
After hearing what Jasmine and Zhou Changde said, Ling Xiao also understood the reason. He briefly sorted it out and got a rough truth.
An entrepreneur who used children to flatter himself spent one million to buy the halo of a philanthropist, but he didn't care about the school's success, and he was not willing to offend the government leaders for the sake of a primary school principal.
They were unwilling to offend contractors with backgrounds. However, some officials enriched themselves in this matter and pressured Zhou Changde not to complain. Zhou Changde went to find him several times, and almost all the teachers in the school were transferred. The only one
Young people still refuse to admit it - this is indeed not what humans do!
"Okay, let's not talk about these irritating things." Zhou Changde sighed, "I will retire this year, and I am willing to fight for it anyway. I have prepared the materials for reporting, and I will go there during the summer vacation.
File a lawsuit with the province. If the province can’t file a lawsuit, I will go to Kyoto to file a lawsuit. I don’t believe they can cover the sky with just one hand!”
Ling Xiao suddenly felt that Zhou Changde was quite courageous, and he admired Zhou Changde very much. He then took out a business card, held it in both hands and handed it to Zhou Changde, saying at the same time: "Principal Zhou, this is my business card, you
If you need anything, as long as I can help you, I will definitely help you."
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Ling, you are different from those rich people. I admire people like you." A rare smile appeared on Zhou Changde's face.
Ling Xiao added: "Mayor Nie of Batian City is a good friend of mine. He is a very good leader. He is also coming today. I will report the situation to him. I believe he will come forward to solve it. Don't
I can’t say, but I want to help Teacher Moli get a formal teacher status, and I assure you, there is absolutely no problem.”
"Really?" Jasmine suddenly smiled happily.
Zhou Changde also became excited, "Mr. Ling, you must keep your word!"
Ling Xiao said: "But I have a condition."
Zhou Changde and Jasmine looked at each other and looked at Ling Xiao at the same time. They praised him as a good person just now, so why did they have to agree on conditions for the first favor?
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. My conditions are very simple. Don't call me Mr. Ling anymore. The employees in my factory are called Mr. Ling, that's what they should be. You are not my employees.
You don’t have to call me Mr. Ling, just call me by my name, or Mr. Ling.”
It turned out that this was the condition. Zhou Changde and Mingli breathed a long sigh of relief and both smiled.
"Okay, I'll call you Mr. Ling." Zhou Changde said.
"Mr. Ling, thank you." Jasmine looked a little shy, but also very happy, "You have really helped me a lot. I want to teach, but I still rely on family support, and my family is not very wealthy.
Again, when I think about my own affairs, I feel very annoyed. If I hadn’t seen the children here so pitiful, I might not have been able to hold on."
Ling Xiao looked straight into her eyes and said with a smile: "If you are such a good person, if you don't have a good ending, then God will never have eyes. It is my honor to help such a good person like you."
, so you don’t have to be polite.”
The corners of Jasmine's mouth turned up slightly, and two small dimples suddenly appeared at the corners of her mouth. She smiled and said, "You are really good at talking."
Zhou Changde interjected: "Okay, okay, let's all stop being polite. Since this is the case, I will go and gather the children to welcome Mayor Nie."
"The person I really want to welcome is Mr. Ling," Jasmine said.
Ling Xiao felt secretly happy in his heart and said secretly: "This Huhe Jasmine is really an interesting person."
The three of them came out of the office, and Wen Tingting strode over to them. Her face was calm and she looked worried.
Ling Xiao asked strangely: "Sister Ting, what happened?"
"I don't know what happened!" Wen Tingting said angrily: "I just received a notice from Brother Nie, saying that someone from the Education Bureau changed the venue of the event to Hope Primary School, and asked us to go there quickly."
Zhou Changde and Mingli's eyes fell on Ling Xiao at the same time. Zhou Changde's face darkened again, while Jasmine's eyes were full of worry, worried that Ling Xiao's promise to her would be ruined. That would be too harmful to her.
It's important now.
Ling Xiao didn't say anything and looked very worried.
Wen Tingting added: "You hurry up and call Li Hao, otherwise things will be brought here. We also have to hurry over, otherwise we will be late."
Ling Xiao still didn't speak.
Zhou Changde sneered and said: "Haha! I knew this was the result. Those corrupt officials in the Education Bureau didn't dare to bring people here at all. They were afraid that I would expose them! These bastards!"
An old man who taught couldn't help but call him a "bastard of a bitch", which shows how angry Zhou Changde was.
"I'm sorry, Principal Zhou, this is a misunderstanding." Wen Tingting then said to Ling Xiao: "Let's go, we will be late if we don't go. Many reporters are waiting at Hope Primary School."
"Mr. Ling, let's go. Goodbye!" Zhou Changde turned and walked towards his office.
"Wait a minute." Ling Xiao said, "I won't leave today. I bought gifts for the children and I want to deliver them to them personally."
Zhou Changde suddenly stopped.
Mingli also looked at Ling Xiao in surprise.
Wen Tingting looked anxious, "Aren't you going? How can this be done?"
"You go first, I will stay here. There are no reporters here, but there is a conscience here." Ling Xiao said.
"You... stop making trouble and come with me." Wen Tingting didn't know the inside story. She thought it was the temporary change of location that annoyed Ling Xiao and that he was confused.
Ling Xiao pulled her aside and briefly told her the inside story of the National Primary School.
"Is this happening?" Wen Tingting was surprised and angry when she heard this.
"Yes, this is true. What do you think, should I go to Hope Primary School or stay here?" Ling Xiao looked at her.
Wen Tingting didn't even think about it, "I'll stay with you. You call me to show off that guy Li Hao. Why don't you just buy some gifts? Why haven't you come yet?"
Ling Xiao smiled. None of the women he dated were bad. They were both beautiful and had good consciences.
(It’s two hundred chapters, I’m very excited. I’m going to Dongguan to take a bath to celebrate, don’t stop me...)
