Chapter 14 The school leaders’ surprise
Fang Bai came to the gate of Oubei No. 1 Middle School and was about to enter the school. A guard of about sixty years old called him: "Young man, what are you doing?"
Fang Bai handed him a pack of cheap cigarettes and an orange, which shocked the doorman: So generous!
"Uncle Wang, my senior high school graduate, named Fang Bai, is here to retaliate. He lives nearby and will be a day student in the future."
"Oh, that's right.
If you want to study day school, you'd better tell your class teacher and sign up first. "
The guard Lao Wang felt very happy when he got the cigarette. He felt that the student in front of him was very polite and polite, and he immediately started talking with a kind smile.
"Well, I'm going to sign up first. Goodbye, Uncle Wang." Fang Bai waved to Old Wang, and then swaggered into the teaching area.
The guard Lao Wang also waved his hand, feeling that this student was too polite.
Watching the students enter the campus, they took out the cigarettes they got, gently tore open the package, took out one, struck a match to light the cigarette butt, squinted and took a nice puff.
With his salary, he couldn't bear to buy this kind of packaged cigarettes, and he usually smoked dry cigarettes.
Fang Bai walked into the campus, reminiscing as he walked.
Oubei Middle School is divided into junior high school and high school. The high school has 30 teaching classes and 6 repeat classes.
The school covers a total area of more than 100 acres. The high school teaching building is four floors and was built just a few years ago.
In terms of the source of high school students, it is at the upper-middle level in Wenzhou.
The best students in junior high schools were cheated by teachers in technical secondary schools. After studying for three more years, they were assigned jobs and they still had a vague concept of college.
Fang Bai's original senior high school class 871 had a total of 60 students. It was still a top class, but only 12 students passed the general undergraduate level, and 2 of them did not exceed the key level, but were not admitted to key universities.
The college admissions ratio is low, and tens of thousands of people cross the single-plank bridge. It’s really great to be admitted to a junior college.
There are a lot of repeat students these days. More than 40% of the college entrance examination students are repeat students every year, and some even go to high school and high school.
For example, Oubei Middle School has about 1,000 college entrance examination students every year, of which nearly 400 are repeat students.
Fang Bai is getting closer and closer to the high school teaching building, and he can hear the teachers' lectures and students' recitations.
As soon as I walked up the steps of the teaching building, the bell rang.
Fang Bai carried a bag of fruit and walked to room 106, his old head teacher's office.
The students coming and going were a little curious when they saw Fang Bai: Why did this handsome guy carry a bag of fruit?
In addition, Fang Bai's clothes are somewhat fashionable, with jeans, T-shirt and sneakers, coupled with the confident and calm expression on his face, he looks a bit handsome and is out of tune with the students around him.
Fang Bai just arrived at the 106 office and happened to meet his old head teacher returning to the office after class.
"Teacher, long time no see."
Luo Ziyang, who was in his thirties, heard the student in front of him calling him and looked at him carefully. When he saw who it was, he was slightly surprised: "Hey, it's Fang Bai. I almost didn't recognize him. What are you doing?" …”
"Come here to sign up for re-study and pay a visit to the class teacher."
"You're a good boy. I just finished class. Come in and have a chat." Luo Ziyang was stunned for a moment and patted him on the shoulder.
Most students are more reserved, but there was something different about Fang Bai. He greeted him naturally and showed no signs of nervousness at all. He actually even carried a bag of fruit.
Fang Bai walked into the office and saw two teachers chatting in the room. He raised his hand to say hello: "Hello, teachers!"
"Oh, Hello!"
Fang Bai put the fruit on Luo Ziyang's table, then took out four oranges, distributed them to the two teachers, and then took out two more and placed them on an empty table.
Four teachers shared an office. Fang Bai bought 16 fruits, and the remaining 10 belonged to the head teacher, so Luo Ziyang had no choice but to accept them politely.
"You're too polite, student. Fruits are not cheap these days."
Fang Bai said cheerfully: "I picked it from a relative's house. I will bring some for the teachers to taste. Maybe I will ask the teachers if I have any questions in the future."
"Haha, you are really good at talking. You are welcome to chat at any time."
Fang Bai greeted the teacher in the room, and then chatted with the class teacher about the review situation.
“Many people in your class have repeated their studies and hope to go to college.
Depending on your scores, if you repeat the course, you have a good chance of getting admitted to a junior college. If you are lucky, you may also get an undergraduate degree.
If you want to repeat your studies, you don't need to pay the repeat fee according to the school's regulations. You only need to pay the accommodation fee. "Luo Ziyang sat down, took a sip of tea to moisten his hoarse voice, and said slowly.
"I rented a house near the school and planned to study day-to-day. I usually have some business to deal with, and I don't necessarily have to attend classes at the school.
My family's financial situation is not very good. During the two or three months of vacation, I started some business and made some money.
Otherwise, even food expenses would be a problem. I also have a younger sister studying in junior high school. "Fang Bai gave a brief explanation of the situation. Otherwise, the school would definitely not allow him to study as a day student, and it would be impossible for him to speak randomly for a student.
"Your situation is a bit special. You have to apply to the school. Besides, your business will definitely delay your studies. Can't you put it aside temporarily?"
"I'm still in school most of the time, and I only need to take time off occasionally."
"Fang Bai, let me take you to see the school leader and see what the school leader says."
"Okay, thank you, head teacher."
"You're too polite. I can't help you with anything. I hope the school leader will agree."
Fang Bai smiled. The head teacher of the top class was still highly regarded by the school leaders and his words had weight.
If he went to the school leader himself, he would be soft-spoken, and the school leader didn't know him. No matter how sharp his mouth was, it would be difficult for the school leader to believe what he, a young boy, said.
The two came to the office in the middle of the second floor. Several school leaders shared a large office, and the principal and dean were both there.
Wearing a white shirt, about 60 years old is the principal Zhang Mubao. He has a three-seven parted hair, a Chinese face, 160cm tall, and is slightly fat.
Luo Ziyang knocked on the door, entered the room, and went directly to the principal.
"Hello, principal. Excuse me. I have something to ask you."
"Teacher Luo, come in, what do you want?"
"Principal, this is Fang Bai, an outstanding student in my class. He scored 480 points in the college entrance examination and his performance was a bit poor. Now he has to repeat the exam. The situation is a bit special..." Luo Ziyang pointed at Fang Bai and gave an overview of the situation.
In 1990, the Zhejiang Zhejiang University entrance exam score was 540, the general undergraduate score was 520, and the junior college score was 505. There was little difference between the score lines.
After hearing this, the principal felt that the score was average, but not bad. There was still hope of going to junior college. There were only a few students in the school who could go to junior college.
He looked at Fang Bai again and said earnestly: "Student Fang Bai, students should focus on learning, not making money.
According to your grades and if you review well, you will have no problem getting into an undergraduate college. "
"The principal is wise and the key point is revealed in one sentence. I am very grateful to the principal for his care for the students."
Fang Bai bowed slightly to the school leader and was the first to agree with the principal's opinion and flatter him, which made Zhang Mubao's eyes light up. The dean and Luo Ziyang did not expect that Fang Bai could speak so well and knew etiquette.
If it were an ordinary student, standing in front of the principal, it would be awkward to speak.
Moreover, Fang Bai acted neither humble nor overbearing, and said naturally:
"However, I have no choice. I have no other choice. My family is poor, so I have to take some time to earn some money and reduce the burden on my parents.
I promise not to delay my studies. My goal for the college entrance examination is to get into a good university. I also hope to bring glory to the school and live up to the expectations of the school leaders for students. "
The principal crossed his arms and said appreciatively: "It's rare for Mr. Fang to be so filial at such a young age, and he is worthy of praise for thinking about lightening the burden on his family so early.
Regarding your family situation, the school does not have much ability to support you. I am sorry.
I hope Fang Bai will focus on his studies and get into a good university. I think your parents think so too. "
The dean sat in his seat and listened to what they said. Seeing the principal's earnest words, he felt that the student was a little uninterested. He turned to Fang Bai and couldn't help but persuade him: "Student Fang, study hard now and graduate in the future." Then you can find a job in any company and your monthly income will be two to three hundred yuan, which is better than making a little money now."
"Yes, Fang Bai, the principal and dean are doing it for your own good." Luo Ziyang also advised.
Fang Bai smiled and said: "Well, thank you to the school leaders for your concern.
I don't waste time doing business, I estimate it only takes a few hours a week. This can solve my family's financial difficulties, and my sister and I can afford to study. "
"How much money can you make from a few hours a week? Even if you can make a few dollars a month, it won't solve the problem." The dean asked directly, knowing that the principal would not ask such questions directly.
When Fang Bai heard the dean's words, he knew he was looking down on him. He probably thought the same thing as the principal and his old classmate.
This is normal. When a high school student goes into business, he just sets up a stall and sells small things, such as popsicles. How much money can he make?
Hey, sometimes it’s hard to keep a low profile.
I had to show off some of my abilities, otherwise I might not get approval from the principal.
Fang Bai was really not used to this kind of active pretense, it didn't feel good, and if he was thin-skinned, he would be embarrassed to pretend.
Only when he stands at a certain level will the principal take him seriously.
Otherwise, why would people believe him and make an exception for him to leave the school at will?
Fang Bai stood in front of the principal, smiling all the time. Fortunately, he expected that this might happen. He took out two pages of paper from his backpack and handed them to the principal.
At the same time, he wrote lightly:
"I rented a facade house outside the school and bought a faulty radial drilling machine for 3,000 yuan. After repairing it, I resold it for 13,000 yuan. The boss of Hengli Company can confirm that this is what I have been doing these days. Signed transaction contract and rental contract.
Of course, there are risks. There is no way to do business without losing money. Who can guarantee that you will always make money? "
As for this business information, it is not important at all, and others cannot do it.
The principal took the contract from Fang Bai, glanced at it, and read it out to his face: "Equipment Sales Contract, buyer: (hereinafter referred to as Party A) Fang Bai, seller... Transaction amount (uppercase): three thousand yuan, (lowercase) ):3000 yuan……"
At the end of the contract, there is the seal of Hengli Company and the signature of Wang Henli.
After reading the initial equipment purchase contract, the final equipment sales contract, and the rental contract, these three contracts were all handwritten by Fang Bai and were very formal.
When the dean of students and Luo Ziyang heard the principal read it, they couldn't help but take it over and read it.
After a while, everyone suppressed their surprise. The principal couldn't help but raised his thumbs and praised: "It seems that I should call you President Fang. You have a lot of business acumen, which is amazing."
The dean was also shocked. Hearing the principal's praise, his tone was set, so he had no choice but to flatter him and say, "You are young and promising!"
"It's amazing. One transaction is better than most people working for several years." Luo Ziyang had to admire him, thinking that he was poorer than a student at work, which was so sad.
Seeing that the principal believed it, Fang Bai put the contract away and said with a faint smile: "Principal, please call me classmate Fang Bai. This incident made everyone laugh.
I don’t have much business experience. I was forced to live in poverty. I just need to be able to earn some living expenses stably in the future. I don’t dare to call myself a businessman. I’m still far from success. I need to ask everyone for advice on a lot of social experience.
Business matters don't take up much of my time. I still focus on studying. I wonder what the principal thinks? "
Fang Bai must be humble when he should, show off when he needs to, and seize the opportunity well.
No, when everyone heard Fang Bai's humble words, they appreciated him even more.
Even the dean of students was biased against him at first, but now he admires him very much. He feels that this student is different, has strength, and knows how to position himself, restrained, humble, and good at talking.
If he were an ordinary student, he would probably be extremely proud if he were praised by them.
"Okay, I've made a special case for you."
The principal smiled elegantly and said that seeing Fang Bai's business ability, he actually hoped that he could continue to develop in business and help the school in the future.
Moreover, this student knew how to keep his posture so low and had high emotional intelligence, which he appreciated even more.
"Thank you principal, thank you dean." Fang Bai shook hands with him and then with the dean.
