Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 727: Chapter 728: Want to Offer You a Special Admission

Chiang Xiao felt somewhat baffled.

Fu Mingfeng said, ”Chu Aiguo is the principal of your town’s middle school, isn’t he?”

”So Principal Fu knows Principal Chu,” Chiang Xiao suddenly realized.

”Yes, I know him. He came to the county for a meeting recently, and during the meeting, he mentioned your name no less than ten times. In our county’s circle of principals, you, Chiang Xiao, are quite the little celebrity. A sixth-grade elementary student who took the final exams for both the second and third years of middle school and came in first place both times, beating all the older second and third-year students!”

Chiang Xiao immediately broke into a sweat.

She truly had no idea that Principal Chu had been promoting her reputation like this!

”What’s the matter, embarrassed? Or did Principal Chu exaggerate?” Fu Mingfeng looked at her.

Chiang Xiao shook her head immediately, ”No, that’s not it. What Principal Chu said is true.”

Fu Mingfeng first paused, and then couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

Although Chiang Xiao’s words to that couple might have seemed cold and heartless, to Fu Mingfeng, who had spent a lifetime in education, it seemed like rough words were not without sensibility.

Aren’t children one’s own after all?

How can you expect others to coddle and indulge them as if they were their own parents? Children raised in such a manner are bound to grow up without manners, selfish, and domineering.

And Chiang Xiao’s response just now also showed great confidence.

Fu Mingfeng had been quite interested in her ever since he first heard Chu Aiguo mention this girl who had skipped two grades, and upon meeting her in person, he found her even more intriguing than he had imagined.

After laughing, Fu Mingfeng said to Chiang Xiao, ”Chiang, do you know that all four high schools in the county are interested in specially recruiting you?”

”Special recruitment?” Chiang Xiao truly did not know about this.

Moreover, she had just started the new school term not too long ago, wasn’t the matter of high school still a bit too far off?

”That’s right, everyone has this intention. But since the new semester has just started, everyone feels there is no rush and there hasn’t been any action yet. Do you have any idea which high school you’d like to attend when the time comes?”

”Not yet.”

Chiang Xiao actually planned to attend high school in City M, but with her household registration in Peace Town, it would be somewhat difficult to go to a provincial city for high school. By next year, they might start charging various selection or construction fees for schools, and she would need to ask around for help.

Meng Xinian said he could figure out a way, but after her visit to Capital City, Chiang Xiao decided she didn’t want to trouble him with these matters either, as it could give his father another reason to criticize him.

”In that case, consider our Third High School,” Principal Fu extended his olive branch at this point, ”Third High is an old institution. I can tell you this: the newly-built Fourth High has a spacious and bright campus, it’s pretty, the facilities are good, and it drew a lot of parents and students this year.”

Chiang Xiao was speechless, ”Principal Fu, are you recruiting for Third High or for Fourth High?”

Fu Mingfeng smiled, ”That’s why I haven’t laid down my conditions yet. However, Third High has the best teaching staff among the four schools, and it has a strict school spirit and a positive learning atmosphere. Additionally, there’s a cultural museum affiliated with the school that hosts cultural activities every semester, such as painting and calligraphy exhibitions, creative exhibitions, and the like, attracting many famous people—the cultural atmosphere is very good.”

Hearing this, Chiang Xiao was indeed somewhat tempted.
