C79 Parents of Classmates
Leaving the Ou family, one day in school, I was like a normal couple, shopping in a supermarket, washing vegetables and cooking, taking a nap together. This feeling was very strange.
She seemed very comfortable, enjoying this life as much as I did, but under his enjoyment, I don't know why I always felt a strong sense of sadness.
When I was at Ou Family, I had actually gotten into the habit of taking a one hour nap. When I woke up, I happened to be at the school administration office, and just as I was about to roll over to wake up the quiet Ojira, I found that she had been lying silently on the side, looking up at the ceiling.
"Let's go. The Education Bureau should be at work by now. Let's go report." As I stood up to tidy up my hair, I looked for clothes in the closet that were as plain as possible to change into. However, since the clothes that Osha Rui bought were well-known brands, I could only choose a dress with a lighter color to change into.
I had already changed my clothes and put on a light makeup while O'Jia Rui went to the bathroom to wash up.
In order to make my appearance more suitable for a student's identity, O'Jia Rui specifically bought me a few shoulder bags to replace the leather satchel of the white-collar lady from before.
"Let's go, Student Zhou Xinyao." O'Ciaran adjusted her tie in the mirror and held out her arm to me.
Once we were out of the door, Ou Jia Rui pulled me away, "Hey, what are we going to do? The administration office is over there. If you don't know the way, I'll take you there. "
Ou Jia Rui looked at me with a funny expression. "Let's go to the principal's office to see your principal first. We'll bring you to register first and then we'll meet your future mentor. You can just follow me."
Following O'Jia Rui to a building in the middle of the campus that didn't look new at all, I was a little confused. "Aren't we going to the principal's office?" "Where is this place?"
"Luckily, you are still a prospective B University student. In this university, there is only one principle, academic supremacy. So the laboratories, teaching buildings, and libraries you see are all renovated and decorated beautifully. These old professors and the upper echelons of the school are all working in this building. For these people, learning is the first priority."
As O'Jia Rui led me up the stairs from the southeast corner of the building, she gave me an overview of B University.
When they reached the end of the fourth floor, Ou Jia Rui knocked on an office door that had a sign that read "Principal's Office".
"Come in." A steady voice came from inside.
As soon as Ou Jia Rui opened the door, the people inside stood up. "Oh, it's Jia Rui. A few days ago, I was wondering why you hadn't reported in. You came today. You must accompany me when it's time to get off work."
With a polite smile, Ou Jia Rui said, "Greetings, Uncle Lu. A few days ago, something happened in the Ou Family that delayed us for a few days. Thank you for remembering. This is clumsy, Zhou Xinyao."
I hurriedly bowed as well: "Hello, Principal Lu. I'm Zhou Xinyao."
I met the person in front of me when I checked the information. Is he the current principal of B University, and also a top figure in the research of Wei Jin's literature that is still alive? I didn't think that Ou Jia Rui would be so familiar with this respected old professor.
You can call me Uncle Lu just like Jia Rui. Years ago, when our two families were neighbors, I was busy doing academic research, and my two children were basically under the care of the Ou family. B University has received a lot of Ou clan's investment in the past few years.
So that's how it is. Only then did I know that in Ou Jia Rui's social circle, those people holding wealth were only mediocre. Old Master Lu's words were truly precious and worthy of respect.
"Speaking of which, my name was even given to me by Uncle Lu." I occasionally listened to their conversation by myself, and occasionally looked around the fancy office. I didn't feel bored at all.
President Lu's office was very interesting. Apart from the wall with the door, there were almost all of the remaining city bookcases or bookshelves. The pair of famous books were piled high with historical and cultural heaviness, and what I saw in the office was just the tip of the iceberg in President Lu's library.
After chatting with Professor Lu for a long time, from the health of his parents to the way he operated, and then to the literature of Wei and Jin that I was very interested in, I only knew that he had great attainments in financial economy and art design. I didn't expect him to be able to understand even such a difficult literature.
To me, Ocari was like a treasure trove. I never knew how many surprises he still had on him.
More than an hour had passed before the two of them bid farewell, wishing for more.
"Then Uncle Lu, I won't bother you with your office anymore. If there's a chance, I'll definitely come over to kill you for a few more chess games." Oji Rui got up to leave.
Little Zhou, this is a great place for you to study literature. Here, you will definitely be able to gain a deeper understanding of the areas of interest to yourself. If you encounter any difficulties in learning, you can always come and find me in this office. Principal Lu even escorted us to the door.
I felt flattered and said, "Thank you, Uncle Lu. Jia Rui and I won't disturb you today."
The corridor was silent, with only the sound of Ojari and my footsteps. Even when we walked out of the office building, I was still reminiscing about Ojaru and Professor Lu's views on Wei Jin's literature.
"What happened, did you turn stupid? Student Zhou Xinyao." Ochjarui couldn't help but remind me as she watched me sink into a world of my own thoughts.
Only then did I come back to my senses. "Right, Ou Jia Rui, from the chat just now, I could tell that this President Lu is a very honest and principled old professor who studies hard. How did you manage to make me come straight to school instead of taking the postgraduate exam?"
"One reason is because our Ou Family and the Lu Family have always been very good friends, which is also known as the so-called old buddies. The other reason is very important, although the academic atmosphere in the university is very strict, but in terms of talent selection, they are restricted by one form. I showed him the best document you've ever written, so Uncle Lu thinks that you should have talent in literature."
I don't know if Ou Jia Rui said it on purpose to coax me, but I was very happy to be accepted by an expert of virtue and prestige.
Ou Jia Rui continued to add: "Because there are only two or three months left until the end of the semester, we'll just register you as a student first and then officially start the class next semester. Uncle Lu said you're currently in an undergraduate class, so I want you to learn some basic courses."
Two or three months to catch up with the undergraduate course of four years, I felt a great deal of pressure, but at the same time, I was full of motivation.
"Let's go, we'll register for you first."
When we arrived at the administration office, the admissions director warmly greeted us. Perhaps it was because we already knew Ou Jia Rui, or perhaps the principal had greeted us in advance, but the moment we entered the door, the host enthusiastically stood up and said: "Hello, CEO Ou. We'll trouble you to personally come to the registration office.
The director was a well-mannered person, suitable for administrative recruitment and the like, but he had an absolute way to immerse himself in academia.
Ou Jia Rui maintained her neither humble nor arrogant attitude. "Hello, Director. I am the parent of Student Zhou Xinyao."
His tone sounded as if I had just enrolled into a university. My face immediately flushed, then paled. The dean laughed heartily. "Oh boss, you're really humorous. The Madam has already arranged all her classes. You just need to fill out another form. Do you want to go home or arrange a room for her?"
"No need, Director. I've already found a place to stay. Thank you." I said as I took the form and filled in my basic information.
The dean had Ou Jia Rui and I wait in the administration office for a while before personally taking the form to seal ourselves. When I returned, I was still holding my student card: "Madam, hello. From now on, you are one of our B University students."
I don't know why, but when he said this sentence, it made me very excited. Maybe it was because no one was paying attention to what I liked and wanted to do, but my grandfather's daily thoughts were just about how I should do it to protect the Zhou family's face. This was the first time that I could choose where I wanted to enrol in the school and how I wanted to live my life.
After finishing all the formalities, I received all the textbooks that belonged to me according to the director's arrangements. I put some of them into my backpack, while the other ones were carried back to my house by Ojira.
"So tired." Although due to Ou Jia Rui's relationship, my admission procedures had become very simple, after entering a new environment, there were still a lot of things that needed to be done. Once I returned home, I threw myself onto the bed, unwilling to move.
"I feel tired even before I start school. Do you want to come home with me?"
"I'm not. Are there any parents like you who would advise students to withdraw from school on the first day of school?" I suddenly thought of what O'Jia Rui had said to the dean back in the administration office. After saying this, I couldn't help but blush.
"Alright, I've checked. You will have class at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll go to the company first thing in the morning. You can accompany me to the nearby shopping mall to buy some clothes later." The last three words he said were extremely ambiguous. After leaving the Ou Family, it always felt like there was something different about Ou Jia Rui.
The next morning, Ou Jia Rui brought me out to eat breakfast. Xuan Zi was already waiting for me at the school gate. There were still a bunch of unnecessary things on the car that Ou Jia Rui had ordered me to buy.
As if she was a broken heart, the departing Ojairi tirelessly told me:
"Don't let this classmate know that you live alone. Before you go to bed, you must lock the door. If you encounter any difficulties, you must call me …"
I pushed O'Jia Rui into the car. "I know, I'm not a child."
