A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 249: Quietly in the Office

On Monday, during morning exercises during the break, Qiao Yingzi frequently turned back and winked at Chen Jinnian, but the latter completely ignored her and pretended not to see anything, which made Qiao Yingzi very angry.

So when the class was dismissed, Qiao Yingzi quickly reached out and grabbed him.

"Is it too cruel to do what you said about what we talked about on the phone the day before yesterday? After all, he is my father."

On Saturday, Qiao Weidong called Qiao Yingzi. After hesitating for a long time, he told her his true thoughts. He wanted Qiao Yingzi to secretly take leave without telling Song Qian and help him complete the mortgage of his property.

But Qiao Yingzi felt that it would be deceiving her mother. She had finally opened her heart to Song Qian, so naturally she didn't want to do such a thing. But if she didn't do it, she would feel sorry for her father.

In a dilemma, she found Chen Jinnian to help her think of a solution.

Chen Jinnian asked Qiao Yingzi to let go of her hand first. When most people on the playground had left, he spoke again, "I told you very clearly at the time that we should talk about anything after the college entrance examination. Since you have worked so hard for your ideal for so long, you should work hard to the end and don't worry about these trivial matters."

Then he sat down on the ground, raised his head and said, "And what Uncle Qiao did was really dishonest. Isn't the house yours? Why did he use it as collateral? And if he can't pay it back, the bank will sue you instead of him. So, are you going to clean up his mess?"

Qiao Yingzi squatted down and pinched his arm twice, reminding him to be careful with his words.

"The house is indeed my father's. I have no intention of taking it for myself."

Chen Jinnian rubbed his arm and turned his head to look at the silly girl in front of him. She really treated money as dirt.

"Then do as I say and transfer the house back to Uncle Qiao's name. He can do whatever he wants with it then. At the same time, let me remind you that the house is supposed to be 87 square meters, with less than 9% of it being shared by the public. Based on the current market price of school district housing, it's probably worth around five or six million."

When Qiao Yingzi heard him counting on his fingers, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, alright, I get it. You think everyone is as money-obsessed as you are?"

"Go away, go away. I'm doing this for your own good, but you don't appreciate it."

Chen Jinnian said this with disdain, then stood up and patted the dirt off his pants. "Don't let your imagination run wild. If you have anything to discuss, just talk to your mom. I have to go to the office, so I won't talk to you for now."

"Why are you going to the office? Have you gotten into trouble again?" Qiao Yingzi asked suspiciously. She hadn't heard that he had gotten into trouble recently.

"How is that possible? I am the best behaved student in our class. Please don't slander me." Chen Jinnian left these words and quickly ran towards the teaching building.

He didn't lie. If he had gotten into trouble, it would definitely be Li Meng who wanted to talk to him alone, but this time it was not the case. Today it was Pan Shuai who wanted to talk to him about something.

When he ran to the office, Lin Lei'er, who was trembling with nervousness, was already standing next to Pan Shuai's workstation.

Lin Lei'er was different from Chen Jinnian. He had never been to the general office before. When he suddenly saw so many teachers here, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak. His heart was pounding like an electric motor.

If Chen Jinnian had come a little later, Lin Lei'er would have fainted from nervousness.

"Teacher Pan, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Pan Shuai stopped writing, looked up and said, "You still remember to come here, aren't you two from the same class? Lin Lei'er has been here for a long time, and you're just here."

"A friend came to see me and delayed me for a while." Chen Jinnian didn't pay much attention to Pan Shuai's rebuke. He turned around to look at Li Meng's empty workstation and asked quietly, "Where's our class teacher? Why isn't she here?"

"Well, I don't know. He was here just now." Pan Shuai stood up slightly and looked at Li Meng's position, and found that there was indeed no one there.

"She was out on the phone when I came in."

English teacher Xu Hao came over to talk, then covered his mouth with his hand and continued in a low voice, "It sounded like a man's voice to me."

Chen Jinnian quickly bent down and guessed mysteriously, "Man? Then I think it's Liu Zheng. Teacher Pan, what do you think?"

"No way. When I was leaving the parking lot on Saturday, I heard them arguing. Based on Li Meng's personality, if Liu Zheng called her today, she would definitely not answer." Pan Shuai expressed his guess.

"Haha, do you know what Li Meng's personality is like? If you knew, there wouldn't be no progress in two years."

Xu Hao immediately rolled his eyes and rejected Pan Shuai's guess.

"Teacher Pan, although we have a good relationship, I stand on Teacher Xu Hao's side this time. Judging from your past performance, your statement is not very credible."

After Chen Jinnian finished his analysis, he secretly clapped his hands with Xu Hao, indicating that they were now on the same front.

The three people's whispers quickly attracted the attention of other teachers, who kicked their legs and slid over on their office chairs to join in this inter-class melon-eating gathering.

Everyone had a heated discussion and shared little gossip with each other, trying to piece together what had happened.

"cough cough"

Two deliberate coughs interrupted everyone's heated conversation. They all looked up and found that Li Meng had appeared in the office at some point and was staring at them.

Almost the moment they saw Li Meng, everyone dispersed and pretended to be busy.

Pan Shuai casually picked up a piece of paper from the table and began to recite ancient poems, while Xu Hao took out a mirror and pretended to put on makeup. The one who was even more outrageous was Chen Qi. He was a physics teacher, but he picked up a biology textbook from somewhere and read it with great interest.

Lin Lei'er was almost confused. When Li Meng came in just now, he wanted to remind everyone, but he was just glanced at by the other party and he didn't even dare to move.

Now everyone dispersed instantly, even Chen Jinnian found a seat and sat down pretending to read a book. Only he was standing alone, making him even more conspicuous.

Fortunately, Li Meng still had things to do, so after standing in the office for a while, she took her notebook and went out to attend a meeting.

Chen Jinnian slowly stood up, and after confirming that the other party was gone, he quickly pushed Pan Shuai and said, "Stop writing that song of everlasting regret. Let's get down to business. Class will start soon."

Pan Shuai immediately threw away the pen, opened the drawer and took out two envelopes with their names on them.

"You know, the graduation ceremony will be next month. You two are the outstanding graduating class representatives and will be giving speeches. Here's the speech. If you can memorize it, try to memorize it. If you can't, read it thoroughly."

Chen Jinnian took all the envelopes, then handed Lin Lei'er's over and asked with a hint of confusion, "Didn't there always be only one student speaker at the graduation ceremony? Why are there two this year?"

"What two? There are three this year. You two are my students. Don't embarrass me when the time comes." Pan Shuai looked at them with a serious look, and then turned his attention to Chen Jinnian.

"Especially you. According to the script I gave you, district leaders and principals from other schools will be attending that day. Pay attention and avoid improvisation."

Chen Jinnian opened the envelope, glanced at it, raised his eyebrows and said, "That's it?"
