After a lot of hurrying, I finally arrived at the school before 8:30. After registering for Xiaoman last time, this was my second time to come to Xiaoman's school.
This primary school is considered the best in Anxi County. It is one of the best in the entire county in terms of teaching staff and student safety.
Today there is a parent-teacher meeting for the first-grade students. There are many parents in the school.
It was also the first time in my life that I came to hold a parent-teacher conference for my child, and I followed Xiaoman to her classroom.
There were already many parents sitting in the classroom, and Xiaoman pulled me to where she was.
After sitting down, she stood next to me like other classmates.
I looked at the time and it was almost nine o'clock. It should start at nine o'clock.
Parents are all chatting, talking about their children and school, anyway, it is related to their children.
At this time, a voice came from behind me: "Are you Boss Chen from Yuanfeng Group?"
I turned around and saw that the person calling me was the father of a little boy in the back seat of Xiaoman.
I smiled at him and nodded lightly.
He reached out his hand excitedly and said: "Hello, Boss Chen, I still have cooperation with your company."
Of course I didn't know him, but I smiled politely.
He added: "You may not know me, but I deliver building materials to your construction site. My name is Wang Feng."
"Oh, hello." I greeted him politely.
"I've heard of your reputation for a long time. I'm lucky enough to meet you today. Boss Chen is indeed a talented person!"
His voice was quite quiet, which made me very embarrassed.
After hearing this, the people nearby also came over: "Is this the boss of Yuanfeng Group?"
"No," the man in the back seat said, "Chairman Chen of Yuanfeng Group, Yuanfeng Group is amazing! Everyone in the Qin Group knows about it, right? Now it is acquired by Yuanfeng Group."
"Yes, yes, I have heard about it a long time ago. The daughter of one of my relatives graduated from college and just applied for a job at Yuanfeng Group."
"I heard that Yuanfeng Group is still an enterprise supported by the government here, and it will have great achievements in the future!"
Listening to these discussions, I actually feel very uncomfortable. I don't like to be famous.
There is a saying that goes well: People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.
So many times, whether it is media interviews or large-scale events, I rarely show up.
And now I'm still in Xiaoman's school. I really don't like being paid attention to like this. I hope Xiaoman can learn to live in a clean and fair environment in the future.
If these people recognize me, they will probably let their children do whatever they want to Xiaoman in the future, which is not good.
At this time, a man came over, handed me a business card and said: "Boss Chen, I am from Guanghua Glass. This is my business card. If we need glass in the future, we can talk."
It’s not appropriate for me to accept it, and it’s not appropriate not to accept it.
Then, another person handed over a business card and said: "Boss Chen, I am in the sand and gravel business. If you need anything, you can call me. I also hope that Boss Chen will give me a chance to cooperate."
"Boss Chen, I run a hotel in the county. Do you have any spare space in your resort town? Can you let me invest in an inn?"
"Boss Chen..."
Facing all kinds of introductions and greetings from everyone, I felt very uncomfortable.
This is why I have only been here twice since Xiaoman started school, and the first time I came, I almost didn’t show up.
But this time it’s different. I have to come to the parents’ meeting!
Xiaoman also looked at me helplessly and called me innocently: "Dad!"
I was also helpless. I knew that if I didn't accept these business cards, they would find their own children to give the business cards to Xiaoman in the future.
At this point, I had to accept all these business cards, and said to them politely: "I have accepted all your business cards, but everyone, our company has company regulations, and I will inform our company of these matters."
The managers of these tasks...at the same time, please stop being so polite, the parent-teacher meeting will be held soon, everyone should go back to your seats and sit down."
Even though I said so, those people still surrounded me, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
After a few minutes, the teacher finally came to the classroom.
"Dear parents of students, we will start the parent-teacher meeting immediately. We also ask parents to return to their seats and sit down. The students will stand next to their parents."
These parents then returned to their seats one after another.
This is all the case, but there are still parents who quietly hand over their business cards and say they are from sales of a certain company...
I was really annoyed and wanted to curse, but I couldn't, so I had to endure it.
The parent-teacher meeting finally started. The teacher first explained the purpose of the parent-teacher meeting and introduced some information about the school.
Next, I will start talking about some learning tools that first-year students need to prepare, as well as some plans and arrangements for their subsequent learning careers, including how we parents should tutor our children at home.
Finally, there are some regular class time and after school time, as well as school lunch and after-school activities...
Although what I said is boring, it is very useful.
It’s almost the time of one class and the parent-teacher meeting is over.
But before the end, the head teacher suddenly shouted to me: "Mr. Chen, come with me later."
what's the situation?
I glanced at Xiaoman in confusion, wondering if Xiaoman was disobedient in school?
But Xiaoman looked at me with an innocent face and said, "Dad, I didn't do anything! I'm very obedient."
"It's okay. I'll go with the class teacher later and find out."
After the meeting, I followed the class teacher and left the classroom.
As I walked outside, I asked her: "Teacher, is our Xiaoman disobedient in school?"
"No boss Chen, so our principal wants to see you."
The principal wants to see me?
What's going on?
I followed the class teacher to the principal's office, and the class teacher left.
The principal was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he rushed out to greet me when he saw me.
With a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and said to me from a distance: "Boss Chen, thank you, thank you for taking the time to come."
"Principal, what do you mean?" I looked at him confused.
After he welcomed me into the conference room, he went to make me tea and said excitedly: "Boss Chen, we are very lucky that you can choose our school. If you have any ideas, you can put them forward to us."
I finally understood his series of operations, just like the parents in the classroom just now.
I feel helpless again, people are really afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong!
