Chapter 466 Delay in Every Possible Way
Provincial University of Economics, Xiao Zhijie finally didn't look so fat anymore, but he still couldn't change his bad temper like talking to girls and getting close to them. Together with a few boys, he walked out of the classroom talking and laughing behind a few girls in the class .
Just as he got on his bicycle and was about to walk behind everyone, he suddenly heard someone calling his name in his native dialect, "Xiao Zhijie!"
His heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head to see that not far from the side of the road, Vice President Zhang, no, should be called Principal Zhang now, wearing a black jacket, with an old-fashioned leather bag beside him, holding a stainless steel water glass in both hands, sitting Looking at him on the bench by the road, his expression was unclear.
For people of the same age who were born in Feng Yiping's time and this place, who were more obedient and obedient, there was only one creature that they respected and feared the most when they were young, and that was the teacher. time teacher.
When they were in high school, they had grown up, and they had respect for their teachers, but they were not afraid. Moreover, the teachers' teaching methods and methods were different from those in junior high school and elementary school, so they would not be afraid.
When I came to college, I got in touch with counselors who didn’t teach classes and were about the same age. If I had a good relationship with them, I would hang shoulders with the counselors, drink together, and sometimes even chat with girls. No, this word is not appropriate. It should be to exchange the experience of chasing girls, so there is some respect for him.
As for other teachers in the university, I'm sorry, most of them simply don't give you the opportunity to respect or fear.
Therefore, even if you have left the jurisdiction of the previous teachers, you will still get nervous immediately when you see them, just like a conditioned reflex.
Just like Xiao Zhijie now, he didn't bother to say hello to the classmates in front of him, and hurriedly pushed the cart over, "Mr. Zhang, why are you here?" His voice was a little trembling, "When did you arrive? Don't let me know, so I can pick you up."
Xiao Zhijie couldn't help but be nervous, except for the coercion that Teacher Zhang left in his heart, he had been dating his only daughter without telling Teacher Zhang, how could he not be nervous when he saw that he came here without saying hello in advance?
"I have something to do with you," Teacher Zhang said lightly, looking at him.
The ominous premonition in Xiao Zhijie's heart became more and more serious, "You haven't eaten yet, so let's talk while eating,"
"That's fine, you find a place," looking for the principal to stand up with a bag and a water glass.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll put the car away,"
Where did he leave his bicycle? Taking advantage of this spare time, he quietly dialed Zhang Qiuling's phone number, but no one answered. Will he still be in class? He then dialed Wang Changning's number, and this time it was connected, "It's urgent, Principal Zhang came to see me suddenly, take a taxi and rush to the restaurant next to the school, and I'll take you to the restaurant where I ate once."
"Okay, I'll be there as soon as possible," Wang Changning didn't bother to laugh at him now, he was already at the entrance of the cafeteria, and ran out of the school in a hurry.
Xiao Zhijie took Principal Zhang and walked slowly on the tree-lined road in the campus. At this time, Principal Zhang's attitude was okay. After listening to Xiao Zhijie's introduction, he also cared about his study problems, which made Xiao Zhijie feel at ease.
When introducing the dormitory, Principal Zhang asked, "I heard that your family has bought a house in the provincial capital. Are you still living on campus?"
"I live on campus," Xiao Zhijie instinctively didn't want to expand on this topic, "Mr. Zhang, do you know? My family's house was also bought with a loan under Yiping's instigation. It's not just my family, I know , There are still many houses in the provincial capital.
But it’s really good. The value of my family’s set has increased by nearly 20% now. The earliest set bought by Yiping’s family has now doubled. I heard from his sister that they seem to be going to Shanghai to buy it now. "
Principal Zhang nodded, "Well, Yiping has a vision. His family not only developed well, but also brought many people to become rich together. Your parents also opened a noodle restaurant according to his family's model. Now the business is good. ?”
Xiao Zhijie understood that this was unavoidable, "Although it was hard work, the business was good."
"For those of us who came out, in order to make our children have a better life, who cares about hard work or not, you say yes!" Principal Zhang said.
"Yes, but teacher, I think you can also consider buying a house in the provincial capital. It's really more cost-effective than depositing money in the bank," Xiao Zhijie tried hard to change the topic.
"Hehe, with my low salary, how can I afford a house in the provincial capital?" Principal Zhang smiled.
Finally, I can say a few more words, "Yiping said that the housing price will only get higher and higher. If we buy now, we may only be short of tens of thousands, and when we buy later, the difference will be hundreds of thousands. So he said, even if it is borrowing It’s a good deal for money.”
For example, in the central area of the provincial capital, the average price of existing houses is less than 2,000, and the off-plan houses are even lower. Villas with good facilities can be bought in those districts that are a little bit out of the way.
In another seven or eight years, the housing prices in these places must be tens of thousands. By then, a set of 80 square meters will add up to at least 800,000. How can income rise so fast? Isn't the difference just hundreds of thousands? ?
This remark really got sidetracked for a while. Principal Zhang has some savings now, but he can only pay the down payment of a small set now. As for the hundreds of thousands, such a large amount, forget it. All kinds of income, he found that it was really an astronomical figure.
"The house price can be tens of thousands? Impossible," he turned his head and asked.
"This is what Yiping said. It's hard to say whether it can be tens of thousands, but as far as I see, five or six thousand is easy to get. Now the most expensive one in the city has an opening price of more than four thousand," Xiao Zhijie was very happy. The restaurant he told Wang Changning was just ahead.
"Mr. Zhang, this one is not bad. When we usually have a lot of money to live, we usually have a toothbrush here,"
"Okay then, find a quieter seat," Principal Zhang made a special confession.
Xiao Zhijie is 100% sure now, what is the purpose of Principal Zhang's visit this time, "Okay, let's choose a private room."
Principal Zhang sized up the diners, Xiao Zhijie booked a private room, and told the girl at the front desk that someone would look for it later.
In the simple private room on the second floor, Principal Zhang pushed the menu to him, "I can eat anything, you can figure it out! Your parents are so busy down there, they usually don't have time to visit you, right?"
"It's because I went to see them on vacation," Xiao Zhijie looked at the menu, and said to the waiter holding the list, "Here comes a piece of steamed fish, dry-pot shrimp, twice-cooked pork, mapo tofu, boiled cabbage, tiger skin pepper, and more A pigeon soup, start with these, if you don’t have enough, add more.” He ordered a few dishes familiarly.
"Too much, too much, just the two of us, how can we eat so much?" Just as Principal Zhang finished speaking, the door of the box was pushed open, and Wang Changning walked in with a smile, "Hello, Principal Zhang!"
"Changning, right? Hello, hello, why are you here?" Principal Zhang stood up, shook hands with Wang Changning formally, and glanced at Xiao Zhijie.
"I informed him to come. I wanted to contact several other alumni, but they couldn't make it for a while," Xiao Zhijie said.
"Principal, you came to the provincial capital, why didn't you say hello to us in advance, so that we can prepare. Is the place to live fixed? If not, let us arrange it. Yiping's family has also opened a hotel now, and the conditions are quite good. "Wang Changning chatted with Principal Zhang skillfully. He didn't pick on Principal Zhang's daughter, so he was much more at ease than Xiao Zhijie.
"You guys sit down first, I'll go to the bathroom," Xiao Zhijie greeted, walked out in a hurry, went to the corner, dialed Zhang Qiuling's phone, and answered after one ring, "Did you eat? Just now Busy, I'm about to call you." Hearing Zhang Qiuling's words, she seemed to know nothing about his father's coming to the provincial capital.
"Preparing to eat," Xiao Zhijie thought for a while, but still didn't tell her, "Can you come and see me this week?"
"I really can't come," Zhang Qiuling said with some frustration, "Yesterday my dad came to school to look for me, and said that in the past few weeks, there were things at home, and told me to go back to help after the holiday. Just wait, I will try my best to find time. "
"It's okay, I can wait, it's important to help the family, and don't make yourself too hard, don't always substitute for others," Xiao Zhijie instructed. At this time, he became more and more sure of Principal Zhang's intention.
Principal Zhang was still asking about Wang Changning's study situation. When Xiao Zhijie came back, he smiled and said, "You and Yiping had a good relationship in junior high school. It's not easy to maintain it until now."
"Yes, but the three of us had a little more contact. After graduating from junior high school, we gradually broke up with other classmates," Xiao Zhijie said.
"Then last year's trip, did you go together?" Principal Zhang asked with a smile.
