Chapter 682 What a Capable Young Lady
“Given such a situation, tell , what kind of strings could she pull? Furthermore, is it possible for college entrance examination questions to leak out? If the questions do leak out, even a senior-ranking official will be badly punished for being involved.”
This would be a matter of political unrest in the education sector.
“You’re just a child. Don’t spout nonsense.” The parent shook his head. True enough, no one was perfect in this world. With such a mother and sister, this young lady could forget about having a proper life if she was not determined to succeed.
“Principal.”
“Qiao Nan is here. Co, co, co. Quickly co in.” Upon hearing Qiao Nan’s voice, Principal ng quickly let Qiao Nan in.
After Qiao Nan entered the principal’s office, she discovered that a gray-haired elderly couple was also present.
Qiao Nan gave a quick and gentle bow to the two of them. The elderly couple responded with a friendly smile. “Principal, you asked to co here today. Is there any matter?”
“No matter what, you’ve assisted our students who took this year’s college entrance examination in their revision for seven days. Take a look at the estimated college admission rate of our school. After all, you’re soone who contributed to this.” Principal ng laughed as he passed Qiao Nan a list for her to read.
Qiao Nan took the list. She was quite surprised when she read it. At this ti, such an admission rate was truly considered high. Even in the future, it would also be considered competitive. “Have the admission scores for all the colleges in the nation also been announced?”
“Yes, the situation is as such.”
“Okay.”
“Qiao Nan, this ti, I sincerely thank you very much on behalf of the school and students. I’ve heard from the students. You are able to spot questions very well and have been of great help to them in the examinations this ti around.”
At the sight of Principal ng grinning from ear to ear as if he was the Maitreya Buddha, Qiao Nan felt very awkward. “Principal, please don’t say that. Our seniors have done well this ti mainly due to their own efforts and also the hard work of all the teachers of the third-year cohort. Actually, I didn’t contribute that much. I just spotted a few questions for them. This can mostly be credited to the hard work of the third-year cohort.”
“Is that so? Principal ng, do you know what Qiao Nan told yesterday?” Shi Qing, who invited herself, did not feel embarrassed to speak out even in the presence of the elderly couple who were strangers to her.
“What did she say?” Principal ng asked curiously.
“I praised Qiao Nan for her ability to spot questions. Instead, Qiao Nan questioned if she were to help spot questions for a student who had just been admitted to senior high school, how many marks the student would score.” When she thought of these words, Shi Qing felt that Qiao Nan’s reply was so amazing. “At that ti, I was completely dumbfounded. I was happy for her but she seed so nonchalant about it. She even posed such a difficult question. However, having thought about it, what Qiao Nan said made sense too.”
In the absence of a strong foundation in studies, it would not be of help no matter how good Qiao Nan was in spotting questions.
“Haha, everyone deserves credit. Everyone. No one is dispensable. Qiao Nan, I guess you’re going to be very busy this sumr. You can’t skip the appreciation banquet. Just now, a few parents ca and asked if they can invite you for als to celebrate together.”
Qiao Nan was so humble. She did not claim credit for herself. Instead, she was down-to-earth and credited the teachers and students of the third-year cohort.
Who would not like such a sensible and modest student?
“Principal, please don’t mind. Please help Qiao Nan decline all that you can. Though she seems quite healthy usually, she doesn’t eat or sleep well during sumrti. She’ll only feel peaceful when she reads. If you ask her to run to and fro to attend those appreciation als, she’ll lose a few pounds instead of putting on weight in the end,” Shi Qing said on behalf of Qiao Nan.
If they continued to create such dins, those als would not be appreciation als. It would be a form of revenge.
“Is that so?” Principal ng hesitated for a while. “Then, when I asked you to co back during the sumr vacation to help the third-year students, it must have been tough on you. Why didn’t you say so?”
Qiao Nan had never ntioned the ailnts that she suffered during sumr to Principal ng before. If Shi Qing had not ntioned it today, Principal ng would not have known.
“It’s nothing. When it’s sumr, I’ll feel bad no matter where I am.” Qiao Nan waved her hands and was reluctant to elaborate.
Since Qiao Nan appeared, the elderly couple had been observing her. Whenever they heard what Qiao Nan said, they had been nodding continuously. They then hinted at Principal ng with their eyes to let him know that that matter could proceed.
Principal ng was overjoyed and smiled. “Qiao Nan, we certainly owed it much to you this ti. Hence, our school can’t let you work in vain. Do you still rember what I previously told you about the house?”
“Yes.” Qiao Nan nodded. “But I ca today to say that I can’t accept the house.”
In her previous life, she was financially squeezed by her mother and Qiao Zijin. Clearly, she had earned a lot of money but could only stay in a rented apartnt that was slightly over ten square ters. Since she had been forced to move out from the quad, she was more resolute to earn and save up money and buy a property under her own na in the future. In that case, she would have a house that wholly belonged to her.
Qiao Nan longed badly for a house. However, she was not willing to take sothing that should not belong to her.
“You don’t want it?”
“Why not!”
The first question was asked by Principal ng, while the second one was from Shi
Qing.
Shi Qing tugged at Qiao Nan. Soone was willing to give her a house and she did not want it? Was she a fool?
Qiao Nan took back her hand and ignored Shi Qing. She looked up, her chest lifted and her back straightened. “Principal ng, I heard that the owners of the house have passed the managent rights of the house to the school. They intend to let it benefit the people in the school. I’m already very embarrassed to borrow the house from the school for three years. Hence, I simply can’t accept this house. Even though my family’s situation may be the only one that’s unique in Ping Cheng High School, but I believe Ping Cheng High School will most likely take in students with similar plights as in the future. When that ti cos, as long as this house is still around, it will help at least one of the students, if not all of them.”
A gentleman who desires wealth makes it in good ways.
The house did not belong to her. She did not have the sha to accept it even if they were to give it to her at no cost.
Qiao Nan had considered it carefully. At this ti, everyone’s salaries were really not high. Although a cradle-to-grave job such as being a teacher ca with good benefits, compared to the years after 2010, there was no shortage in the supply of property in the year of 2000.
However, in another ten years’ ti, lands and properties would be in great demand. The property that she was currently staying at was at a particularly excellent location. The governnt would invest and redevelop it in the future. That would translate to large sums of money.
Not to ntion this sum of money, in another ten years’ ti, there would be a shortage of accommodation for many people, including the teachers and students in Ping Cheng High School. With this small courtyard around, the school could arrange a few people to stay at the place according to the needs then. It would solve the problems associated with accommodation.
