A hundred million in education funds is truly tempting!
But getting into a 985 university at the age of 38 is indeed hard!
Thinking about my children burning the midnight oil every day...
Uh, my daughter!
She seems to barely reach the scoreline for a second-tier university.
As for my son who's going the "sports student" route, his academic subjects are at a junior college level at best.
However, since he's a "sports student," he should be able to get into a bachelor's program without any surprises.
But regardless of my hard-working daughter or my son on the sports path, with their current grades, the best they could hope for is both getting into an ordinary undergraduate school; 211 is difficult, let alone 985!
Yet, the system's beginner task is for the 38-year-old Shen Qiushan to get into a 985 university!
It's utterly ridiculous!
However, if you say it's ridiculous, there's actually a hundred million in education funds as a reward!
Which instantly makes Shen Qiushan feel it's somewhat feasible.
Everyone knows how hard money is to earn, especially those working tirelessly.
So now, you're given a chance to earn a hundred million by putting in some effort to study!
Would you take the plunge?
For most adults, this isn't even a choice.
Not taking it?
That's a sure sign of a malfunctioning brain!
A small high school exam!
Just do it!
Shen Qiushan immediately took out the Chinese textbook from the takeaway box.
For someone as "illiterate" as him, Chinese should be the easiest subject to tackle, as it's mostly rote memorization.
However, just as Shen Qiushan was ready to grit his teeth and work hard, a series of phone ringtones suddenly played from his pocket.
This phone, which he hadn't turned off, was his personal phone.
Shen Qiushan took a quick glance at the phone, and the caller ID displayed "Xiangyu."
Uh...
This brat didn't get into trouble again, did he??
"Xiangyu," full name Chen Xiangyu, is Shen Qiushan's son's class teacher and English teacher.
Of course, if it was just this relationship, Shen Qiushan wouldn't have used such an intimate nickname as "Xiangyu" for her.
It was indeed fate.
Shen Qiushan and Chen Xiangyu were both middle and high school classmates.
The two were classmates for a total of six years and even had a vague first love experience.
After graduating from high school.
With poor grades, Shen Qiushan went to learn the then-popular BB pager repairs.
Chen Xiangyu, on the other hand, got into a decent teachers' college.
Later, each excelled on their respective life paths.
And lost touch!
It wasn't until many years later when Shen Qiushan was dropping his children off at Sanjiang City High School.
That he reunited with his long-lost first love, Chen Xiangyu.
And upon meeting again.
Things had changed drastically.
Shen Qiushan had become a widower, raising two kids on his own.
Chen Xiangyu, meanwhile, was a divorcee of three years.
With the friendship from those years as a foundation, and both being single for years, they naturally developed into... card partners.
And the two had a high agreement on this relationship.
Shen Qiushan said: "It has nothing to do with the future, just beneath the waist!"
Chen Xiangyu said: "Grasp the opportunity to enjoy the flowers while you can, don't wait until there are no flowers left and only bare branches remain."
So, the two became secret lovers.
It can only be said, what a pity the hearts of parents are!
A father's love is like a mountain!
You can never know how much your father has endured for you!
"Xiangyu, did you miss me?"
Upon answering the call, Shen Qiushan chuckled and asked.
On a day like today, he really wanted to have a little celebration with Chen Xiangyu.
"Come over to the school!"
"Xiaoxiao was caught by the head of teaching for dating!"
On the other end of the line, Chen Xiangyu said with a somewhat amused and helpless tone.
"Uh..."
"This brat! No wonder he suddenly started caring about his appearance lately!"
"Not studying properly, dating at school, huh!"
"Just wait and see how I'll deal with him!"
Shen Qiushan swore as he took off his delivery uniform and rode his electric bike directly towards Sanjiang City High School.
Fifteen minutes later.
Shen Qiushan arrived at the school gate.
A beautiful mature woman, appearing in her early thirties, was already waiting beside the security booth.
Her skin was fair and delicate like white jade, with crescent-like eyebrows, bright and lively eyes beneath them, chestnut brown long hair casually draped over her shoulders, exuding the unique charm of her age.
"Teacher Chen."
Shen Qiushan waved at his old flame; with the school security present, the two obviously couldn't display too much intimacy.
"He's the parent of our student Shen Yixiao, Director Xu wants to see him."
Chen Xiangyu said to the security guard on duty, and then led Shen Qiushan into the school.
"The school has recently been cracking down on early love, after lunch, Xiaoxiao was caught red-handed by Director Xu while dating his girlfriend behind the cafeteria!"
"Because it's the final three-month sprint before the college entrance exams, Director Xu wants to set an example by severely punishing them!"
Chen Xiangyu explained the situation as they walked.
"How do they determine it's early love?"
"Can't students just take a walk together?"
Shen Qiushan attempted to find a loophole for his unruly son.
"Director Xu caught them kissing!"
"Xiaoxiao even had a hand in the girl's clothes..."
Chen Xiangyu gave Shen Qiushan a sidelong glance and muttered softly, "Like father, like son!"
"Uh..."
"This brat!"
Shen Qiushan was speechless, thinking that if Director Xu had come a little later, it might have been a more difficult situation to deal with.
"Is the girl from your class?"
Shen Qiushan asked again.
"No."
"She's from Class Two."
"Ranran's class?"
"Yeah, I think Ranran introduced them..."
Shen Qiushan was completely speechless.
He didn't expect his son's early romance to also involve his daughter.
What a headache!
What a huge headache!
"What does Director Xu intend to do?"
Shen Qiushan asked with furrowed brows.
"He wants to advise them to withdraw!"
"With Xiaoxiao's poor academic performance, even following the sports student path, he might not make it to a bachelor's program, persuading them to withdraw could increase the school's overall undergraduate admission rate, so such a result is naturally what the school is happy to see..."
"Withdraw?"
"It's just dating, is it that serious??"
Shen Qiushan was shocked, with only three months left until the entrance exams, advising them to withdraw now would be a waste of all previous efforts.
"Early love, and of a serious nature!"
"This is a serious violation of school rules, not to mention Xiaoxiao's past record of fighting, expulsion is not out of the question either."
Chen Xiangyu sighed lightly: "So, you'll need to have a good attitude later, even if it means taking a demerit, we can't let Xiaoxiao be expelled!"
"Hmm."
Shen Qiushan nodded: "Xiangyu, wait for me ten minutes."
"I'll be right back!"
With that, Shen Qiushan turned and ran toward the school gate.
"Qiushan, you..."
Chen Xiangyu was puzzled, they were nearly at the entrance to the office building, yet Shen Qiushan had dashed off and she had no idea why he was in such a hurry.
But knowing Shen Qiushan well, she knew he wouldn't do this without reason, so she patiently waited where she was.
If this were an ordinary teacher and parent relationship, there'd surely have been a lot of cursing by now.
At this moment, however, Chen Xiangyu actually found the sight of her old "baby" running for his son's sake somewhat charming!
