Afternoon.
5 pm.
A Cayenne and a Mercedes Benz stopped along Nan Wei Road. They alight and look at the main gate of Beijing Yu Cai High School opposite. Yu Cai is a famous top High School in Beijing with a long history. The main gates and red brick walls made It look grand. It gave the same majestic feeling as the Palace Museum. If it is not a good school, the Xie family will not send Xie Hao here. Zhou Yanru and Chen Chen were stunned by the grand school gates. Even their Province’s Party Committee Building is not this grand.
Chen Chen asked. “Is this a school?”
Wang Yuling laughed. “I think it looks more like a museum.”
“The facilities here are better.” Dong Xuebing nodded. “Let’s go in.”
Zhou Yanru quickly follows Dong Xuebing. She is unsure as her daughter could not even enter Beijing District’s top High Schools. How is it possible for her to enter this City’s Top High School?
Suddenly, someone laughed loudly.
“Hahaha… Brother Dong!” Xie Hao shouted from a distance and ran over. He hugged Dong Xuebing. “You are finally here!”
Dong Xuebing laughed and patted his back. “Why are you so loud?”
“This is not loud. It’s called cheerful.”
“Haha… come, let me introduce. You can address this lady as Aunt Zhou, and that is Sister Wang. This is Chen Chen.” Xie Hao happily greeted everyone, and Dong Xuebing pointed at him. “This is my Brother. You all can call him Xiao Hao.”
This is still a student. Are you sure he can decide on this?
Zhou Yanru was disappointed when she saw Director Dong ask a student to do this favor.
Dong Xuebing asked. “Xiao Hao, how is it? Have you asked your Principal?”
Xie Hao laughed. “I had asked. All the spots are taken up before the mid-year exams.” Chen Chen heard it and her eyes became red again. But Xie Hao continues. “Hehe… but that’s what the school tells others. Everyone will give me ‘face’ in Yu Cai High School. Ms. Chen Chen, come with me. I will bring you to meet our Principal. This is Brother Dong’s instruction, and I will make sure the school gives you a spot.”
Dong Xuebing looks at Xie Hao. “Stop boasting. Are you sure you can do it?”
“I had looked for Old Liu earlier, but he was in a meeting. We will go and see him now.”
“Who is Old Liu?”
“The Principal.”
Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling are speechless.
But Dong Xuebing knows Xie Gao should be close with the Principal. The Principal should know his background since he is attending this school.
Xie Hao has many friends on the campus.
“Brother Hao, why did you come back?”
“Brother Hao.”
“Xiao Hao, why are you still around after school?”
Not only do the students greet Xie Hao, even the teachers will greet him.
Xie Hao waved to them with a smile.
The campus is big, and they had to walk for five minutes to reach an office building. Xie Hao seems like he has returned home. He leads Dong Xuebing and the rest to a sofa. “Brother Dong, you all have a seat first. I will bring Chen Chen and Aunt Zhou to register.”
“Ok.” Zhou Yanru is suspicious as she follows Xie Hao with her daughter.
“Ah!” Xie Hao exclaimed as they turned a corner. “Uncle Liu! Over here! Have you just finished your meeting? I had been looking for you.”
“Principal.” A teacher besides the Principal said. “About that matter….”
Principal Liu saw Xie Hao and turned to that teacher. “We will talk about it tomorrow. Just do what you did previously.”
After that, Principal Liu walks over with a smile. “Why are you still around after school? What do you want from me?”
Zhou Yanru got excited when she saw Xie Hao know the Principal.
Xie Hao laughed. “This is a serious matter. Uncle Liu, is our school still accepting students from other Provinces?”
Principal Liu looks at Zhou Yanru and Chen Chen and knows what this is about. “All our spots have been taken up. We only have seven to eight places this year.”
Xie Hao let out a ‘hmph.’ “Then create one more spot.”
Principal Liu smiled. “You brat is always giving me problems.”
“It’s rare for Brother Dong to ask me for favors, and I had agreed. I will be disgraced if you can’t help.” Xie Hao continued. “Uncle Liu, just tell me if this is possible.”
Principal Liu smiled helplessly and looked around. “Let’s go to my office.”
Zhou Yanru is overjoyed as she knows the Principal might let her daughter enroll in the school.
Half an hour later.
Zhou Yanru, Xie Hao, and Chen Chen returned.
Zhou Yanru is full of smiles.
Xie Hao gave Dong Xuebing an ‘OK’ sign and a smile.
Wang Yuling knew this problem had been settled, and she looked at Dong Xuebing.
“Director, sorry to keep you waiting.” Zhou Yanru walked quickly and stopped smiling.
Dong Xuebing asked. “How was it?”
Xie Hao beats his chest. “How can there be problems when I am around?! Everything is settled. No matter what grades Chen Chen gets in her Middle School exams, she will be accepted by Yu Cai High School. The application form had been sighed, and she just needed to report after her school holidays.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “What about the sponsorship fee?”
“Old Liu says one to two thousand will do.” Xie Hao proudly replied.
One to two thousand? This is nothing compared to the sponsorship fee of over one hundred thousand requested by other schools.
Dong Xuebing is impressed by Xie Hao. This little brat is quite reliable after all and has made him look good.
“Thanks to Xiao Hao.” Zhou Yanru is grateful. “Thank you, and thank you, Director. I am speechless.” This is an almost impossible task for her, but it’s just a simple request for Xie Hao and Dong Xuebing. Not only is her daughter accepted, but she also doesn’t need to pay a high sponsorship fee. She knows how big this favor is and did not expect this outcome.
Chen Chen can finally study in Beijing, and this is the City’s Top School. She looks at Xie Hao. “Thank you.”
Xie Hao waved his hand. “Don’t mention it. We will be schoolmates soon. If you encounter any problems, just mention my name.”
Zhou Yanru pushed her daughter lightly. She knows her daughter can get accepted by the school is because of Dong Xuebing.
Chen Chen stepped forward. “Thank you, Uncle Dong.”
“Don’t thank me.” Dong Xuebing patted her head and smiled. “Just study hard and don’t let your mother down.”
