After Jiang Hongshao said that, she said she was going back and did not invite Cheng Ran, so Cheng Ran probably couldn't see her blushing face as she avoided him.
After Cheng Ran walked out of the shade of trees, he happened to meet Zhang Yu who was walking out of the administrative building. At the first preparatory bell, he saw Jiang Hongshao who walked out of the teaching building before Cheng Ran.
Then he met Cheng Ran on a narrow road.
Cheng Ran didn't know what Zhang Yu felt right now. Perhaps his connection with Jiang Hongshao's family made him feel that he had the responsibility to be Jiang Hongshao's guardian at school. So even though he knew that he couldn't control Jiang Hongshao, he would probably still be hostile towards Cheng Ran.
When Cheng Ran saw Zhang Yu, he didn't want to say hello to him. But with Zhang Yu's usual attitude, even if he said hello to him, he would probably be met with his expressionless and cold face.
But Cheng Ran still said to him, "Teacher Zhang."
Zhang Yu looked at Cheng Ran and said, "I've always told you that family problems are big problems."
Cheng Ran just frowned, thinking that Zhang Yu was just a nagging old woman, and said, "Are you going to repeat it in front of me every time you see me? If so, thank you for your constant reminders, but you have to understand that you may not be able to change anything."
"Sometimes when I look at you, I always feel that if you are not too mature, then you are too arrogant..." Zhang Yu said, paused, and then said, "But now it seems that you are not the same as I have always believed."
Cheng Ran was stunned. He didn't think Zhang Yu could say such a thing.
Will there be a "but" and then another wave of venomous denigration
"Hongshao is very smart and works very hard, so she is excellent. It is rare for her to be ranked among the top students in No. 10 Middle School for a long time. I don't want her to be affected in any way... But you have gone from being ranked in the top 100 when you first entered the school to being ranked in the 80s, and then being able to keep up with her... and being ranked second in the grade. I take back my previous superficial opinion of you. Perhaps, I was wrong."
"You are not just talking big, you are seriously proving something. People are afraid of being serious, so if this continues, family issues will be your biggest problem."
Cheng Ran said, "When you become strong enough, the problem you mentioned will no longer be a problem."
"I praised you for being mature before, but saying this shows that you are still not mature enough."
Zhang Yu said, "How strong is strong? How do you know... the end point you have tried your best to reach is not the starting point for others? You have not seen much of the world and know too little, so you don't understand that in the real world, many things are complicated and require a natural outcome. However, what is a natural outcome for others is just a drop of water for you."
"I agree with what you said, but I don't agree with your view," Cheng Ran said, "I understand that your so-called family problems are definitely complicated. It may just be that someone doesn't like or doesn't want to see you, which may cause great harm and pressure to the person involved. I understand you because you have experienced it. But I am not you. I will never turn back until I hit the wall. Maybe if I hit the wall, even if I get a bloody head, I will break through it. As for whether I am too inexperienced and know too little, we can... wait and see."
"Let's go and see?"
Zhang Yu smiled mockingly, "Maybe I can't see it... But since you are so serious and so sure, then okay."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment, then spoke in a slightly obscure voice, "Watch out for a man named Liu Gao. If this man shows up, then you... and your family, be extra cautious."
It is obviously not the right way for a teacher to say such things, but Zhang Yu never seemed to be a qualified teacher.
Cheng Ran looked at him and nodded after a moment, "Okay."
"It may not be personal safety," Zhang Yu said. "You know, in a group, especially a group backed by a resource platform, when everyone has their own interests, people are selfish and will think for themselves, and may even do things that harm others. There are always such people. When an outsider enters that environment one day and breaks a certain balance, if it is in their interest to kick you out, then they will do it."
Zhang Yu treated him as an adult, and what he said seemed to be on another level that had nothing to do with the school in front of him.
Cheng Ran asked, "So you had a lesson to learn from back then?"
Zhang Yu said, "I just think this person will make things difficult for others just for his own sake. Of course, maybe the problem you are facing is not here, or even not just this... Take care of yourself."
Cheng Ran looked at him, and before he could say "thank you", Zhang Yu picked up his briefcase and walked away.
It's like when you pay attention to something recently, things related to it seem to always appear around you. I had a conversation with Zhang Yu in the morning, and I had nothing to do during the physical education class in the afternoon, so I went to the reading room to read books. When I passed by the cabinet marked with cultural and educational books, Cheng Ran glanced at it, walked a short distance, thought about it, and came back. He looked in one of the compartments, reached out, and pulled out a book with a blue cover.
The title of the book is "Research on Educational Administration in Multiple Countries", and the author is signed as Zhang Yu.
Cheng Ran opened it and saw the author's introduction on the first page.
Zhang Yu, born in 1962... Graduated from the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1989, returned to China to work in the education industry, and is a first-class middle school teacher. He has participated in the compilation of seven national textbooks, and is always concerned about and good at analyzing the trends of domestic and foreign education administration...
After flipping through it briefly, Cheng Ran put the book back into the box because he was not interested in it anyway.
He was just a little surprised that Zhang Yu could actually write a book.
…
For Qin Qian and Yuan Huiqun, ever since they came to the conclusion that Cheng Ran might have intentions towards Qin Qian, it seemed like they could run into him everywhere. For example, at noon that day when they were eating at a small stir-fry restaurant outside the school, Qin Qian, Yuan Huiqun and three girls in the class watched Cheng Ran and Zhang Ping walk up the wooden stairs to the second floor.
Several girls around Qin Qian started to make a noise immediately, because they were all in the dance team and had seen what happened to Cheng Ran at the Art Palace during the holiday. There were many follow-up news about this incident during the holiday, and when it reached their ears, everyone knew it tacitly. At this time, they saw Cheng Ran and the other person coming upstairs, so how could they not start to make a noise immediately, clamoring for him to treat them.
She said, "Qin Qian is here, why don't you invite her? If you want to invite her, why don't you invite us as well?"
"Maybe we'll say a few good things about you in front of Qin Qian! As a man, be more generous."
In the past, Cheng Ran would have invited her, but when he saw Qin Qian lowering her head and tugging at the corner of her clothes, and Yuan Huiqun and the other girls talking, Cheng Ran immediately thought of Qin Qian and Yuan Huiqun when he met them recently. It seemed that their expressions were not quite right. Could it be that because he helped Qin Qian during the holiday, they felt that he was showing off? Or did he have other intentions
Cheng Ran thought about it and felt that he should refuse and make his attitude clear, so he shook his head at Qin Qian and the others, "A man should be generous, but my money was given by my parents, I can't be generous. Besides, I never said I would treat Qin Qian..." He looked at Zhang Ping again, "I still think the ramen next door is delicious, let's go eat there."
Zhang Ping, who was originally planning to socialize, never expected Cheng Ran to directly refuse. He immediately stood up and said, "Okay..."
Several girls looked at each other, what was going on? Didn’t they say that Cheng Ran was interested in Qin Qian
Just as Cheng Ran was about to turn around and leave, his sleeve was suddenly grabbed by Qin Qian.
Qin Qian grabbed the corner of his shirt sleeve and said, "Don't go."
"I'll treat you..." She smiled, "I should treat you, you can have ramen tomorrow."
Cheng Ran had no choice but to sit down with Zhang Ping. Everyone ate in harmony during the meal. With Zhang Ping and Yuan Huiqun livening up the atmosphere, they enjoyed the meal very much.
While Yuan Huiqun told a joke that made everyone laugh, she raised her eyebrows at Qin Qian.
Qin Qian smiled at her deliberate wink and said nothing.
In fact, both of them knew it tacitly.
Cheng Ran, who was usually generous, suddenly acted abnormally and wanted to leave at the instigation of his friends. It was because he couldn't hold his face after the continuous attacks.
Oh…
Man.
