Xu Zhian started working at the funeral home in September. He worked the night shift today and did not come back. Only Xu Cheng and Li Zijuan were left at home.
As soon as Lao Wu and the others left, Li Zijuan was about to call Xu Zhiyi, but Xu Cheng stopped her: "What time is it now? The girl has gone to bed long ago, Zijuan, don't fight, let's go to bed first, and we'll meet again tomorrow." ask her."
Li Zijuan looked at the time. It was already 12:30 in the morning, which was indeed a bit late.
After washing up with a lot of questions, the couple lay down on the bed, turned off the lights, and sighed.
In the darkness, Xu Cheng turned sideways, turned to Li Zijuan, and took a breath through his teeth, "Did I really never tell you a word about this?"
Li Zijuan suddenly patted the bed and stood up with half of her body propped up on her elbows, "No, this girl hid it so closely even from me. It's not normal. Tell me, is it possible? She refused directly, so she didn't give it. we say?"
"If this is really going to happen, see if I don't beat this girl to death. At least discuss the matter of marriage with your parents. Besides, it's outrageous to refuse such a good marriage! It's hard to find it even with a lantern. Son-in-law, this girl can’t be confused.”
Xu Cheng lay down on Li Zijuan and rubbed his temples, "If I ask her tomorrow, won't she know everything? Okay, Zijuan, go to sleep. Tomorrow is Monday, the students will raise the flag, and I have to get up early to keep an eye on it."
Said to be sleeping, the couple tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep one after another.
The next day, Xu Cheng got up before six o'clock. He saw that Li Zijuan was still sleeping and knew that she had gone to bed late yesterday and it was difficult for her to sleep for a while. After washing quietly, she gently closed the door and went to work.
After being busy with students raising flags and delivering Monday speeches, I didn’t even bother to eat breakfast, and then went to the first class.
It's already past ten o'clock in the morning when I can take a sip of water.
As soon as he finished drinking water, the principal called and asked him to come to the office.
Xu Cheng's heart sank.
This week is the deadline for submitting the recommendation form for the position of vice principal. As a rule, anyone who comes to the principal's office to talk to will be out of luck.
A common tactic used by principals is to say good things even if the position is not given.
It's just to appease people's hearts.
Xu Cheng didn't sleep well last night and looked very bad. When he went to the bathroom to wash his face, he met his arch-rival Wang Zhixuan again.
Wang Zhixuan looked like a villain. After going to the toilet, he was washing his hands by the sink. When he saw Xu Cheng, he said in a strange way:
"Hey, Director Xu, I heard that you got a good son-in-law, and I even chased your girl to the detention center."
As he said that, he sneered, "How about you, Director Xu, huh?"
Xu Cheng glared at him and ignored him. He washed his face with water and dried it with paper towels. As he was about to leave, Wang Zhixuan chased after him. Are you a matchmaker? It’s true that you can forgive yourself for doing evil, but you can’t live for it if you do it yourself. Humph.”
Xu Cheng was enraged and sneered coldly:
"Don't worry about it, Director Wang. My daughter is beautiful and has a good temper. She is popular everywhere. She can win many people through matchmaking. No, even people from the Ming family have proposed marriage. The Ming family has , listen clearly, it’s the Ming family. Your daughter wouldn’t even dare to think about such a family. Huh!”
After saying that, he threw the used tissue into Wang Zhixuan's arms and turned away.
Wang Zhixuan instinctively caught the waste tissue, threw it into the trash can angrily, and spat at Xu Cheng's back:
"You don't have to make a draft when you brag. No matter how good-looking your girl is, it's impossible for someone from a family like the Ming family to fall in love with her. Your girl is so stupid that she can't deserve a family like that? Bah."
After saying the harsh words, Wang Zhixuan began to make calculations uneasily.
No, he had to go to the principal's house again tonight. He couldn't lose to Xu Cheng this time, and he had to win the position of vice principal.
After confronting Wang Zhixuan, Xu Cheng regretted his quick talk.
Hey, I'm getting old, I still can't talk fast, and my vanity quickly overflows when I'm provoked.
No, no, it can't be like this.
We must cultivate our moral character and cultivate our nature.
Indifferent and indifferent.
Walking to the door of the principal's office, Xu Cheng looked up at the "Feng Xuexiang" nameplate and knocked twice on the door.
"Please come in!"
Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment when he opened the door.
Principal Feng Xuexiang was not sitting at his desk. Instead, he was sitting on the leather sofa with another man, laughing and talking about something.
The man is Director Chen, the current director of the Education Bureau, who is the same age as him.
Seeing Xu Cheng, Feng Xuexiang looked enthusiastic, pointed to the single leather sofa next to them and said: "Director Xu, you are here, hurry up, sit here."
Xu Cheng sat down as instructed and nodded to Director Chen, "Director Chen."
Director Chen's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he said pleasantly:
"This is the famous Teacher Xu of our Acropolis Middle School. I have admired my name for a long time. I have admired my name for a long time. Teacher Xu, you have made great contributions to the education of our Acropolis."
Xu Cheng said politely: "No, Director Chen has given me too much praise. I am just an ordinary mathematics teacher. The so-called reputation is just recognition from the leaders and recognition of my work. I don't dare to take credit."
Director Chen smiled and said, "Teacher Xu is really humble."
The conversation changed and he faced Feng Xuexiang, "Oh, by the way, Principal Feng, isn't there a vacant position for the vice principal in charge of teaching at Weicheng Middle School this time? I think Teacher Xu is a perfect fit, and I think the one you recommended must also be Teacher Xu. Bar."
Feng Xuexiang's expression remained unchanged, with a smile on his face, "What's the point? It must be him. This position of vice principal belongs to him this time. I will hand in the recommendation form to the bureau this afternoon."
Director Chen nodded in appreciation, "Principal Feng is still very discerning and knows people well. No wonder the teaching performance of Weicheng Middle School has hit new highs in recent years. Okay, I'll wait for you in the office in the afternoon. There are still meetings in the bureau, so I'll leave first. ”
Seeing Director Chen get up, Feng Xuexiang immediately stood up with him and called Xu Cheng, who was a little distracted, "Director Xu, what are you doing? Come with me to see Director Chen off."
Xu Cheng came to his senses immediately, stood up quickly, opened the office door one step ahead of them, and said, "Director Chen, go slowly."
Director Chen smiled and nodded at him, looking at Feng Xuexiang, "Old Feng, you must take what I said seriously. If it is done, you will take credit."
Feng Xuexiang told him a riddle, "Don't worry, leader, I will do my best until I die."
Director Chen smiled so brightly that he raised his hand and nodded at him.
Feng Xuexiang wanted to send him off, but Director Chen held him down and said, "Stay, go and talk about business."
Feng Xuexiang and Xu Cheng watched Director Chen go downstairs, and then returned to the office.
As soon as the door closed, Feng Xuexiang asked Xu Cheng to sit down. He took a clean paper cup, put some tea leaves in it, went to the water dispenser, took half a cup of hot water, and put it on the coffee table in front of Xu Cheng. He didn't sit back at his desk, but took the opportunity to sit down. Go to the leather sofa next to Xu Cheng.
"Director Xu, have some tea."
Xu Chengxu took the paper cup and said politely: "Thank you, Principal Feng."
He was still a little confused about what had just happened and couldn't figure it out for the time being.
Even though he was filled with doubts, he held back his words.
He was waiting for Feng Xuexiang to speak first.
