Qi Hong rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiaoshan and coquettishly said.
"You really want to say it, huh? But if I do, don’t get hurt..."
As Qi Hong was speaking, Zhang Xiaoshan interrupted her.
"You want to say that Jiang Man and I are from different worlds, right? I’m just a village doctor, not good enough for Jiang Man. Especially with all her suitors and blind dates, either rich young masters or high-tier elites, I’m far behind, right..."
Qi Hong hadn’t expected Zhang Xiaoshan to be so blunt and direct, and her cheeks turned a bit red, as she said tentatively.
"That’s your own interpretation, I never said that."
Zhang Xiaoshan smiled faintly.
"The you know is just the very basics. Actually, I’m going to surprise you. Do you believe that in six months at most, I can change your opinion of ?"
"Six months?"
Qi Hong said incredulously.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, it’s not that I’m looking down on you. I can see that you’re an ambitious young man with so capabilities. But in today’s society, the class structure is rigid. Many people’s starting point is so high that it would take you a lifeti to catch up."
"Perhaps, given three or five years, you could achieve sothing modest. Give you ten or eight years, and you could beco a local celebrity. But what can you possibly achieve in just half a year?"
"Or, maybe just forget about it. Don’t make things difficult for yourself out of competitiveness."
Qi Hong’s words didn’t carry disdain, but were rather stated with calm and composure.
As if worried that Zhang Xiaoshan might have misunderstood her, she quickly added.
"I an, I don’t have any ill intentions, what I’m trying to say is..."
"Alright, I understand your concern, and you an well, but you really don’t know ."
"It’s getting late, go back to sleep. I’ll arrange for you to leave the village tomorrow morning."
With those words, Zhang Xiaoshan turned and went back to his house.
"You’re not really angry, are you?"
Qi Hong called out to Zhang Xiaoshan’s retreating figure, but he didn’t respond.
"Tch, he’s such a difficult kid to figure out."
Qi Hong muttered to herself and started to head back to the village office to sleep.
But after taking just one step, she suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"Ouch, my leg, this kid has worn out tonight."
Yet her expression was clearly one of delight.
Zhang Xiaoshan went straight ho, and after reassuring Yu Xiuxiu that he was fine, he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, after eating the noodles Yu Xiuxiu had made, he went to the school construction site to check on the situation.
Liu Qiang had been arrested, but his construction team continued to work. Moreover, wages didn’t have to be paid for the ti being, and with so materials still left, the project was proceeding.
However, it could only last for another half a month at most. It was urgent to recover the charity funds; otherwise, it would be tough for the Love Primary School to continue being built smoothly.
Besides, fundraising like this could only be done once. Continuing to generate news might backfire, and society could even accuse them of being greedy and dissatisfied.
Qi Hong had already left early in the morning without saying goodbye.
Zhang Xiaoshan took a roundabout and decided to stay in the infirmary.
Suddenly, a figure appeared.
That damn Liu Qinghong.
At that mont, Liu Qinghong was pulling a cart filled with beer and cigarettes, a not insignificant amount that must be worth a thousand or two.
This Liu Qinghong was known for being stingy. What was he buying so much tobacco and alcohol for?
Zhang Xiaoshan stood still, watching.
He saw Liu Qinghong pushing the cart directly to the school’s entrance.
"You’ve all worked hard, co on, have so beer, smoke a cigarette."
"Thank you."
The workers and villagers who were busy imdiately sward over.
"Mr. Liu, have you made a fortune in town? You’re so generous."
"Besides Zhang Xiaoshan, you are the most capable person from our village."
"Thank you so much."
The villagers said cheerfully.
Zhang Xiaoshan watched with a stern expression.
What exactly was this damn Liu Qinghong up to?
He hadn’t returned to the village for at least a year and a half, and now he cos back at this critical mont, being so zealous. Sothing wasn’t right here.
As Zhang Xiaoshan was pondering, Xu Jing ca out from the school.
"Zhang Xiaoshan."
Upon seeing Zhang Xiaoshan, Xu Jing hurried over, her eyes unable to hide her affection.
Zhang Xiaoshan asked directly.
"Do you know what that bastard is here for?"
"Who?"
Zhang Xiaoshan gestured with his eyes to Liu Qinghong.
Only then did Xu Jing say.
"I only heard so gossip from colleagues I used to know in the county before, and it seems that he’s supposed to be transferred back here to the newly built Love Primary School as the principal."
"What the heck?"
As soon as Zhang Xiaoshan heard this, he imdiately understood.
"I see, this bastard is eyeing that position."
His eyes filled with anger.
"We’ve taken care of everything, and he cos back to take charge, acting like he’s sobody. Besides, education is such a serious matter; how can it be treated so carelessly? He himself is a scumbag, letting him be the principal, what good could co to the children?"
Thereupon, Zhang Xiaoshan, fuming, stord over.
