Chapter 780: The Deception Fails
Chapter 780: The Deception Fails
A few days later, Huang Xiaochuan went to school on time to attend the parent-teacher meeting.
So what if he's Asia's richest man? So what if he's a Clark Medal winner? So what if he's a famous economist? He still has to personally attend parent-teacher conferences for his children.
Unsurprisingly, the road leading to Shengai Road Primary School was congested again.
Huang Xiaochuan had no choice but to get out of the car and walk to the school, with Gao Song, Li Huan, and others following closely behind him.
"Huang Xiaochuan"
Halfway there, Huang Xiaochuan heard someone shouting. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qi Huan standing on the other side of the road waving at him.
Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan had noticed her, Qi Huan crossed the congested road to stand in front of him, teasing him, "Oh! You came all this way in person?"
Huang Xiaochuan pretended to have a bitter face and spread his hands: "There's no other way! Yu Xiang isn't home, so I had to come myself."
Then he started to sow discord: "I'm much better than your old Ding. Ask your old Ding how many parent-teacher meetings he's attended. It's always you. This won't do. A father can't be absent from his child's education. Don't believe me? This is what a famous educator said. Next time he comes back on vacation, dump all these things on him. Don't spoil him. Let me tell you, you can't give a Shanghai man a good face, or he'll be climbing on your roof every few days."
However, Qi Huan already knew his character, so she ignored his words and even rolled her eyes at him: "My husband said that after meeting you, don't believe anything you say. He said that back when you were in college, you liked to fool people, and my husband has been fooled by you countless times."
Seeing that he had failed, Huang Xiaochuan angrily complained, "It's true what they say, 'A woman follows her husband wherever he goes.' You used to be such a good person! Now you've learned bad habits from Lao Ding and are talking badly about me behind his back."
"Hahaha!" Qi Huan burst into laughter. "I said the same thing to your face."
The two walked and talked towards the school. Qi Huan said, "I heard from Ding Xiaojia that your Huang Ruiying plays the trumpet quite well?"
"Not bad? I guess only your Ding Xiaojia would praise her like that. Otherwise, how about this, during the summer vacation, you bring our Huang Ruiying to stay at our house for a while, so you can experience it for yourself."
Qi Huan immediately laughed: "Okay then! Don't try to fool me. You can always back out when I go to your house to pick you up!"
Qi Huan adored the little girl, and Huang Xiaochuan's words were exactly what she wanted to hear.
Huang Xiaochuan said confidently, "Don't worry, as long as she's willing to go to your house, I won't object." Huang Xiaochuan dared to say this because he was certain that his little girl would never go with Qi Huan; otherwise, would he be so generous?
Qi Huan laughed and said, "Okay! I'll come to your house to pick her up as soon as summer vacation starts. You should tell Yu Xiang to prepare my daughter's luggage as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan was displeased: "Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean 'your daughter'? She hasn't even been to your house yet, and she's already your daughter?"
Seeing Huang Xiaochuan's expression, Qi Huan burst into laughter: "Hahaha, that was bound to happen sooner or later!"
Huang Xiaochuan not only failed to gain any advantage, but almost lost his own daughter in the process, so he simply stopped talking. Fortunately, they arrived at the school two minutes later.
Considering that his son and daughter were not in the same class, Huang Xiaochuan decided to go to his son Huang Zeji's class for a meeting first. His daughter Huang Ruiying was in the same class as Ding Xiaojia, so he could ask Qi Huan for help: "Qi Huan, I'll go to Xiaodong's class for a while. Please keep an eye on Xiaoduo's parent-teacher meeting for me. I'll come over later."
Qi Huan was naturally aware of the situation, so she waved her hand, signaling Huang Xiaochuan to go attend his son Huang Zeji's parent-teacher conference first: "No problem, go ahead!"
Huang Xiaochuan pulled his hat brim down, then put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the classroom of Class 2, Grade 3.
As he walked to the door and looked inside, he saw that quite a few parents had already arrived. He then quietly sat down in the last row, but his homeroom teacher recognized him at a glance. However, due to the principal's prior instructions, she simply bowed slightly to Huang Xiaochuan in greeting and made no fuss.
Stay tuned to Four Seasons Leeks, stay tuned to Cola Novels, stay tuned to every update of "1990 I'm Back".
The content of the parent-teacher meetings was always the same, mainly reporting to parents on the overall situation of the class, the key points of this semester, and the things that need attention next semester. Huang Xiaochuan listened very carefully and did not forget to write down some key points.
Regarding education, Huang Xiaochuan believes it's essential to follow the advice of professionals. The homeroom teacher suggested increasing extracurricular reading and engaging in social practice activities during the summer break. Huang Xiaochuan found these suggestions excellent, as he already believed that education should emphasize the development of social skills. The homeroom teacher's suggestions were specifically aimed at cultivating this ability, which made Huang Xiaochuan very satisfied with the school's educational level.
During the meeting, the homeroom teacher also praised several students who made rapid progress in their studies and were also helpful to others, including Huang Zeji. After hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but smile. As a father, he knew his son best, but he was still quite happy to receive the teacher's recognition.
As soon as the parent-teacher meeting for Class 2 ended, Huang Xiaochuan rushed off to Class 5 of Grade 3.
He did the same thing as before, entering through the back door and finding a seat in the last row.
He glanced at the list and saw that his daughter was still sitting at the same table as Ding Xiaojia, since Qi Huan was sitting alone. He then saw his daughter's name on the seating chart, and just as he had guessed, she was still sitting at the same table as Ding Xiaojia.
Huang Xiaochuan frowned. Damn it, Ding Gungun really had a lot of ulterior motives!
Just then, Qi Huan turned around and looked behind him. After seeing Huang Xiaochuan, a meaningful smile appeared on his face. This might be Huang Xiaochuan's own perception, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
Damn it, it's not that I'm afraid of thieves stealing, it's that I'm afraid of thieves eyeing my daughter. It seems that Ding Yi and Qi Huan really have this idea? Huang Xiaochuan's heart alarm bells immediately went off, and he regretted his carelessness in agreeing to Qi Huan's suggestion to take his daughter to her house.
After the parent-teacher meeting ended, except for a very few parents who lingered around the teacher wanting to know more about their child's performance at school, the rest of the parents left the classroom one after another.
Huang Xiaochuan was also preparing to leave the classroom when he was stopped by the homeroom teacher, Ms. Miao.
"Huang Ruiying's father, please wait a moment!"
Since the teacher had spoken, Huang Xiaochuan had no choice but to stay. The concept of "Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher" represents the transmission of knowledge and moral education, as well as the traditional concept of respecting teachers. Huang Xiaochuan, who had previously served as a university professor, naturally dared not disrespect this ancient tradition in the slightest.
Teacher Miao is also responsible for the children, so Huang Xiaochuan should not put on airs.
The great Tang Dynasty scholar Han Yu said in his work "On Teachers": "A teacher is one who imparts knowledge, teaches skills, and resolves doubts."
The teaching profession has always been a sacred one, and Huang Xiaochuan himself was once a member of this profession, so he naturally has more respect for teachers than others.
After the other parents left one by one, Teacher Miao said to Huang Xiaochuan, "Huang Ruiying is a very lively student who is also happy to help her classmates. She has a strong sense of collective honor and has won a lot of honor for our class in the past two semesters."
Huang Xiaochuan also expressed his gratitude, saying, "We have to thank Teacher Miao and the school for this. When my daughter Huang Ruiying is at home, she always talks about you, at least three times a day."
"Hahaha!" Teacher Miao laughed upon hearing this.
Then, Ms. Miao's smile faded, and she said, "There's something I hope you'll talk to Huang Ruiying about when you get back. It's good to attend extracurricular classes, but Huang Ruiying often brings her trumpet to class to play, which is disturbing the other students."
When Teacher Miao kept him behind, Huang Xiaochuan had a general idea that it was related to the trumpet, and sure enough, it was.
He quickly promised Teacher Miao, "I understand, I'll tell her when I get back."
Teacher Miao replied, "Okay, that's all for now. I have something to do, so I won't keep you any longer."
Huang Xiaochuan politely said goodbye to Teacher Miao: "You go ahead with your work! Goodbye!"
This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the amazing book "1990, I'm Back":
