Chapter 606: The Children’s Future
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The renowned primary school was notoriously difficult to gain admission to. Not only did the school assess the personal qualities and academic performance of the students, but it also scrutinized their family circumstances. Even the slightest shortfall in the final evaluation could prevent a child from successfully enrolling.
Gu Zi’s gaze shifted as she asked Guan Xin, “I’m sorry, but I need to clarify, is this spot guaranteed?”Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on n/o/v𝒆/l/bin(.)c/𝒐/m
She was no fool. Promises like these were not always fulfilled, especially when it came to admission slots in this school. The competition was fierce, and there were many variables. It was better to ask and be sure.
Guan Xin, however, was very confident. She said, “You can rest assured. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Guan Xin, and my father is Guan Xue, the current principal of the First Bilingual Primary School. He wants to give away two admission slots, and he has the privilege to do so. And the fact that I can mention it means the process is transparent and legal.
“I won’t elaborate on the value of this admission slot. You were once a student of this school, so you understand. You must seize this opportunity for your children.
“Of course, there’s no rush. You can give me your answer within a month. Here’s our newspaper’s contact number. When you’ve made up your mind, call and ask for Guan Xin.”
Gu Zi accepted the business card and invited, “Since you’re here, why not stay for dinner before you leave?”
Guan Xin straightened her collar, her posture confident, and responded clearly, “There’s no need for dinner. I have a train to catch. I’m going on a business trip. Once you’ve made your decision and come to the city, I’ll invite you to dinner as a colleague. I’ve said all I need to say, so I’ll take my leave now!”
Although Gu Zi hadn’t had much interaction with Guan Xin, she could tell that Guan Xin loved her job. It was no wonder she didn’t take a break even during the New Year.
Gu Zi didn’t insist and went to see Guan Xin off. As Guan Xin opened the car door, Gu Zi bid her farewell, “See you next time then, Happy New Year!”
Guan Xin climbed into the car with a cool stride, closed the door, and leaned out to say to Gu Zi, “Happy New Year, Miss Gu Zi. Please consider my job offer carefully, or rather, consider your children’s future.”
Guan Xin gripped the steering wheel and drove off, a smile playing on her lips. She could tell that Gu Zi cared deeply about her children. That was why, after deciding to invite her to work at the newspaper, she had immediately asked her father for these two precious admission slots the night before.
Gu Zi’s husband was wealthy, so a salary offer wouldn’t be much of a temptation for her. But this admission slot was different. It was a significant indicator of a child’s future, and no parent, regardless of their social status, would disregard it.
Outside the red-brick house, as the car disappeared from sight, everyone was still in shock and envy. My goodness, this was the daughter of the principal of the most prestigious primary school in the city. The principal’s daughter had personally come to offer Gu Zi a job and to give the Su family’s children admission slots. This was too good to be true!
Many children in the village and town wanted to go to school in the city, but due to insufficient conditions, they could only stay in the local Hope Primary School or the private primary school in the town.
The Su brothers, since being adopted by Su Shen, had been attending Chenglong Primary School in the city, which was already quite enviable. Now, they had received admission slots to the best primary school in the city.
Almost everyone could foresee a bright future for the two brothers. It seemed that among the Lin family’s children, Lin Lao’er’s descendants were the most successful. It was truly enviable!
Lin Laoda’s family lived in the town, and his son and daughter-in-law worked in the city. They naturally understood the value of that school more than the villagers.
The couple immediately had an idea. Lin Laoda’s wife shot her husband a look, and he walked towards Lin Lao’er, “We haven’t seen each other for a long time. We brothers should catch up. Let’s go inside. I have something to tell you.”
If one didn’t know better, they might think this was Lin Laoda’s house. However, Lin Lao’er didn’t care about such things. He just keenly sensed that his elder brother was acting unusually and wondered what he was up to.
As Lin Laoda called Lin Lao’er away, his wife didn’t idle either. She put on a pleasing face to entertain the guests and sent her two grandsons to greet Mother Lin and Gu Zi.
Compared to earlier, she seemed like a completely different person.
Gu Zi and Mother Lin were puzzled when they heard a commotion from inside the house. It was the usually good-tempered Lin Lao’er’s angry voice and the sound of a table being slapped.
