Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 21: So Pleased As to Lose One’s Sense of Measure
“Fatty, how could they be so scared to see you?” Although he had been friends with Yuan Chuling for a long time, Tang Xiu had never asked about the situation of the Yuan Chuling family. On the other hand, he also never brought up the topic about his family in front of Tang Xiu.
Tang Xiu only vaguely knew that Yuan Chuling's parents did have hundreds of millions of assets and, but he did not understand about other things. After going through the matter earlier, Tang Xiu discovered that the identity of his friend was quite mysterious.
After hearing Tang Xiu's question, a red hue covered Yuan Chuling's round face. And with eyes full of awkward expression, he replied, “First Brother, since things have been settled, can't you dig any further?”
After hearing his reply, Tang Xiu did not speak and instead stared straight at Yuan Chuling.
“The Eldest Brother ... I am afraid .. if I say it ..” Under Tang Xiu's questioning gaze, Yuan Chuling was quickly defeated as she said everything with an expression of shame and embarrassment, about his relationship with Eternal Growth Trading Co.
Five years ago, when the country violently cracked down on and fixed illegal riba companies, Yuan Chuling's uncle took the opportunity to buy Eternal Growth Trading Co. and later became the company's boss.
However, Yuan Chuling's opportunistic, lazy, and irresponsible type of uncle, proved to have no ability. Although he became the owner of Eternal Growth Trading Co., he did not know how to run the business, and instead let the company's previous staff run the business. Create chaos in the company. Although Yuan Chuling's parents had helped, it took quite a long time to clear his mess.
Because Yuan Chuling was often in and out of Eternal Growth Trading Co., coupled with Zhao Tielin's simplicity towards Yuan Chuling, over time, everyone from the top to the bottom of Eternal Growth Trading Co. know about his relationship with Zhao Tielin . They even considered him the ruler of the crown prince.
After hearing that the true owner of the Eternal Growth Trading Co. turned out to be Yuan Chuling's parents, a sort of eased feeling emerged from Tang Xiu's heart, saying, making him almost vomit blood as he looked at Yuan Chuling with an unspoken bitterness that even words could not convey.
Thinking of how she and her mother had long been forced into a desperate situation for 6 months because of this Eternal Growth Trading Co., Tang Xiu could only sense that she had been wronged.
A mixed feeling also enveloped Su Lingyun's heart, but in the next moment, with great difficulty, she could adjust her mood and then warmly greet Yuan Chuling and ask him to sit down, serve tea, and then warmly greet Yuan Chuling, then skillfully clean the house.
“First Brother, I'm really sorry. After my parents divorced, I rarely went to Eternal Growth Trading Co. anymore. Also, I haven't paid attention to their special business. Otherwise, this problem would not have happened. “Yuan Chuling was also well aware of the inner state within Eternal Growth Trading Co., even at a glance, it could be seen that it was total chaos, leaving her heart full of guilt and shame.
“This has nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself. “After seeing Yuan Chuling's expression of regret and remorse, Tang Xiu's heart also melted as she patted Yuan Chuling's shoulder before she asked,” By the way, as long as I remember, I've never given my address to you or anyone, how did you find it? ”
“Second Brother, what about the problem in the restaurant? The group of criminals has destroyed the restaurant for no reason or reason. Do you need me to face it? ” As he simply shifted into trouble with the restaurant, Yuan Chuling asked excitedly.
“The restaurant issue has been resolved, but thank you for your concern. By the way, this is the second day of our lunar vacation, you won't be returning to accompany your father and mother? “Seeing her mother became motionless and speechless after hearing this matter with the restaurant, Tang Xiu did not hesitate to move on the topic.
“I ... I .. Eldest Brother, I have not prepared my mind and heart, I just want to wait until the end of the college entrance exam, and then I will consider this matter afterwards.” After raising the topic about his parents, Yuan Chuling's mood suddenly became gloomy and sad.
Ten minutes later, the room had already been cleaned and got a new look from Su Lingyun, and then the three of them took out the leftover dishes in the kitchen and dinner.
At the dining table, Su Lingyun gave full praise to Tang Xiu's cooking skills while Yuan Chuling devoured him as he himself nearly devoured over half a dish. Su Lingyun and Tang Xiu could only look at her with dumbfounded expressions.
With Chuling Yuan's funny joke, the originally cold, dull, and sad atmosphere immediately became cheerful and lively.
“Second Brother, I remember yesterday you said that this month you will be riding first class, and now that all the tests have been completed, how likely are you to go first class?” The topic involuntarily shifted around for the Monthly Test, Yuan Chu Ling asked with a nervous expression.
“Do not worry, when do I say empty words to you?” Seeing Yuan Chuling's caring appearance, Tang Xiu nodded and replied confidently.
Just when Tang Xiu's words were finished, “dentang”'s voice sounded.
When Tang Xiu followed the direction of the voice, it turned out that the bowl had suddenly fallen out of his mother's hands as he stared blankly at her.
“Xiuer, is what you said just now true? Can you take this first-class Monthly Test? “Su Lingyun did not clean the bowl on the floor as her hand grabbed Tang Xiu's arm and asked with an excited expression.
“Bu, Monthly Test results will come out in 3 days, you will know the result later.” Tang Xiu was naturally aware of the worry in his mother's heart.
Tang Xiu knew that his mother had basically pinned almost all of her hopes on him. A car accident more than a year ago almost destroyed all hope his mother had.
For more than a year, her mother had always cared for her very thoroughly even though she had never shown any unease in front of her, but Tang Xiu also knew that the value of her appearance dropped rapidly. The one who really suffers from the pressure is not himself, but his mother, who unconditionally bears the pressure.
And now, having suddenly learned that the value of his performance had returned to his previous achievements, it was only natural for his mother to be excited.
“So you only need one month to pursue your previous value?” After hearing Teng Xiu's resolute reply, Su Lingyun was more excited.
“Great, great, I know that once your body returns to normal, your grades will be back soon. Then, your father's soul in heaven will rest in peace. ”As Su Lingyun said these words, two lines of tears streamed down despite a smile covering his face this time.
After fully comprehending the expressions of Su Lingyun and Tang Xiu from their eyes, Yuan Chuling by the side seemed to want to speak but hesitated as worry surfaced on his face.
Within the time of this month, Yuan Chuling also fully immersed himself into the study. He was well aware of the difficulty of how to increase one's value. He originally wanted to talk to Su Lingyun about the difficulty level of increasing the value of the Monthly Test from the lower classes in order to reach first grade. However, after seeing the joyous tears from Su Lingyun's face, he could not bear to say it.
When he saw Su Lingyun's pure attention and happiness for Tang Xiu and saw the attentive attention of a mother and child between Su Lingyun and Tang Xiu. at the same time, he was very happy, a hint of envy filled Yuan Chuling's heart.
It reminded her when her mother decided to leave the house. Gradually, Yuan Chuling's eyes became moist.
As the students in Star City enjoyed a rare two-day vacation this month, the high school teachers for the third year had checked the exam papers.
For this third year teacher, this was a painful and pleasant pleasure.
It hurts a lot because they have to sacrifice their vacation time and time with the family to mark the exam paper. It was fun because they could see a slight improvement from their student results. They look at the College Entrance Test, like a bonus for entering higher education.
“Yang Jian's result is very good, his Literature and Language test scored 128 points, Math 135 points, his Comprehensive Science test also got 242 points, and, if he can get more than 120 points in his English test, then he can choose most of the major universities in the country. ”Hu Qiusheng read some of the best student statistical grades in the class with a satisfied expression.
In fact, it was almost impossible for a third-year teacher to fully review a participant's exam paper in a single day. But this does not prevent teachers in charge of their respective classes from reviewing the best student exams first.
“English result Yang Jian came out, 128 points; his total score has reached 633 points. Master Hu, congratulations! The two months he spent working hard for this one finally bore fruit. Yang Jian was likely to be accepted into Tsinghua University. ”With a quick, Grade 5 English teacher handed Yang Jian English exam paper to Hu Qiusheng.
After hearing Yang Jian got 633 points in the second Monthly Test, the other teachers in the office couldn't help but look towards Hu Qiusheng with envious eyes, and then said words of congratulations to him one after another.
“Hey, Tang Lijuan from our class only got 610 points, it looks like she only got second place again.”
“Teacher Xiao, you don't need to complain, even the first genius in our class only got 598 points, I don't know if he will be able to enter the top ten or not.”
“This time, the difficulty level for this Monthly Test is really raised too high compared to last month. The difficulty level is close to the College Entrance Test. Students who can earn more than 550 points must be able to enter prestigious universities. ”
****
For most of the time today, these third-year gurus have set last month's top scorer at the forefront on marked test papers, they also basically know quite well about the results of the Monthly Test this time around.
All the test papers have been marked, and there are 27 students who got 550 points or more, 12 of which are from Grade 5, which is almost half of the total number. This made everyone become even more envious of Hu Qiusheng's luck, and at the same time, they also had no choice but to congratulate him one by one.
“Everyone still remembers my bet with Teacher Han, right?” After being flattered by some teachers for a while, Hu Qiusheng then spoke in an arrogant and arrogant tone with a face full of excited expressions.
Hu Qiusheng's words were like a pair of invisible giant hands clutching everyone's necks, making the office instantly silent.
Seeing Hu Qiusheng's expression that seemed to explode successfully, everyone in the office involuntarily furrowed his knitted brows. Never had they felt so disgusted with someone like this before.
“Oh, my wife has called me several times so I can go home for dinner soon, see you all.”
“It's too late today, if I don't go home, my girlfriend will be angry again. I can't keep reviewing the test papers again, see you guys. ”
“Because the assessment for the 20 best students for each of the exam papers has basically been completed, let's review the rest of the exam papers tomorrow. Today everyone has worked hard, so let's go home first to rest. ”
****
Under Hu Qiusheng's stunned and astonished gaze, the room that was previously filled with people, was instantly emptied by the people who came home, leaving only him and Han Qingwu.
“Teacher Hu, you want to go home with everyone now, or you want to personally mark Tang Xiu's exam paper, and then put up again?” Han Qingwu looked at Hu Qiusheng and smiled faintly, with a mocking expression.
“You ... you ..” Hu Qiusheng can barely breathe from a few words from Han Qingwu, he said, as he let out these “kamu” words and pointed to Han Qingwu's nose for a long time. Unable to utter a complete sentence, he finally caught his breath and slammed the door as he exited.
