Chapter 450 Yang Wenwen: What is considered proactive
The Experimental Middle School anniversary celebration started on time at 9 o'clock. The high school anniversary celebration was very boring. There were no performances, only speeches one after another. After the host gave the opening remarks, he introduced the main participants.
Then comes the speaking part, which is also the most boring part.
The principal spoke first, followed by the deputy director of the Education Bureau, the dean of academic affairs, and alumni representatives.
The alumni representative was Zhou Jing. When Zhou Jing stood up to salute, the playground rang out the warmest applause. The students Zhou Jing had taught, the teachers who had taught Zhou Jing, and the students who had received scholarships sponsored by Zhou Jing in the past two years were all excited. The applause lasted for a long time until Zhou Jing came to the podium.
At the beginning of the speech, Zhou Jing's speech was roughly divided into three parts. The first part was the opening remarks, in which he thanked his alma mater for the invitation, the cultivation of his alma mater, and the teachings of his former teachers. The second part was the main text, which was the manuscript written by Yang Wenwen. Zhou Jing added some sentences, and the third part was the thanks.
In his speech of less than five minutes, Zhou Jing was interrupted by applause three times, which shows how popular Zhou Jing, the youngest alumnus, is among the students of Experimental Middle School.
Afterwards, there were speeches by student representatives from each grade. Zhou Jing had as hard a time as the students in the audience, but he finally made it to the last part, the commendation session.
First, we commended the outstanding faculty and staff of the previous year. Yang Wenwen was also on the list and was named an outstanding class teacher.
All the teachers were wearing formal attire today. Yang Wenwen was wearing a black suit, a white shirt and a black single-breasted suit jacket. The suit jacket was fitted at the waist, which made Yang Wenwen's moderate waist look very round. Her black trousers were neither wide nor narrow, and wrapped around her hips in a beautiful curve.
When passing by the podium, Yang Wenwen noticed that Zhou Jing was staring at her, she lowered her head and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Yang Wenwen is not only beautiful, but also full of femininity. Even though she is already 30 years old, her skin is still like that of a young girl. She is the dream lover of many students in Experimental Middle School. Although Yang Wenwen is unmarried and has a child, there are still many people pursuing her. However, Yang Wenwen belongs to Zhou Jing.
Alumni will definitely not come to the school anniversary celebration empty-handed. Some alumni who did not come also contributed. Alumni raised more than 100,000 yuan to reward outstanding students of each grade. The rewards include cash bonuses and other material rewards, such as famous books, pens, notebooks, etc., which are distributed to students by alumni and school leaders.
"Long time no see, Teacher Zhou."
The first group to go on stage to receive the awards were the top ten students in science in the senior year. Among them was a student who was once in Class 1-2 of senior year. This student switched seats with other students and chose Zhou Jing to present the award. When he approached Zhou Jing, the student was filled with excitement.
"Not bad, keep up the good work."
Zhou Jing smiled and handed out honor certificates, 500-yuan cash coupons that could only be redeemed at the Finance Office of Experimental Middle School after parents' signatures, pens and notebooks to the students one by one.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhou. It's great to meet you."
The student was both excited and proud to have the opportunity to have his most respected teacher, the head teacher of the first grade class, present him with an award and take a photo with him in front of the entire school, and to brag about it to his classmates from the first grade of high school.
"Wang Bo, this clever guy, is so lucky."
The scene of Zhou Jing presenting the award to Wang Bo and taking a group photo made the other students in Class 1 and 2 of Senior High School very envious.
After the school anniversary ceremony, students evacuated the playground in an orderly manner. All teachers and leaders of the school gathered in front of the rostrum to take photos with alumni. There were many familiar faces in the teacher team, including Zhou Jing’s high school chemistry teacher Zhao Xin, biology teacher Kong Fangfang, as well as math teachers and physics teachers. Of course, the one Zhou Jing was most familiar with was Yang Wenwen.
Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen's eyes met, and Yang Wenwen smiled slightly.
In order to prevent others from noticing that their relationship was unusual, Yang Wenwen had a brief exchange with Zhou Jing.
"You have made great progress. When will you help me become rich together with you?"
Chemistry teacher Zhao Xin said to Zhou Jing with a smile.
"Teacher Zhao is always welcome to join us. Teacher Zhao's smile is as charming as ever."
Zhou Jing also looked at Zhao Xin. Although Zhao Xin's appearance and figure were ordinary, she always had a smile on her face. Although she was not smiling deliberately, her smile was like sunshine, which left a deep impression on Zhou Jing.
"Student Xiao Zhou is as sweet as ever."
Biology teacher Kong Fangfang said with a smile.
"Mr. Kong's voice is so sweet. I liked listening to Mr. Kong's voice the most when I was in high school, and I still like it now."
Zhou Jing smiled at his high school biology teacher.
"You are really good at praising girls. If I had a sister, I would definitely introduce her to you."
The smile on Zhao Xin's face became even brighter.
The female teachers around were all impressed by Zhou Jing's mouth. It was so rare to have a boy who was so handsome and so good at speaking. The male teachers admired and envied Zhou Jing. It turned out that there was a reason for everyone's success.
"Is Teacher Yang very proud?"
A teacher looked at Yang Wenwen who was smiling silently at the side.
"Zhou Jing himself is excellent."
Yang Wenwen said with a smile.
When taking photos, the alumni were arranged to sit in the first row of chairs, but Zhou Jing insisted on standing with the teachers. Although Zhou Jing made great contributions to Experimental Middle School, it was disrespectful for Zhou Jing to sit in front of the teachers. So Zhou Jing took the initiative to stand next to the female teachers in the first row. This move not only made the teachers appreciate Zhou Jing as a student more, but also made other alumni appreciate Zhou Jing more. It is hard not to like such a young man.
After taking the photos and disbanding, it was almost noon. Zhou Jing and other alumni went to the lounge and drank a cup of tea in the lounge. After the other alumni left, Zhou Jing told the vice president about his idea of providing scholarships to the top three students in all classes every semester. Of course, the school was more than happy to accept this, and the vice president thanked Zhou Jing on behalf of the school.
Zhou Jing wanted to go to Yang Wenwen's dormitory. Now Zhou Jing was well-known in the Experimental Middle School, and he could not get too close to Yang Wenwen on campus. Yang Wenwen would not resign until June next year, and there was still half a year left. If any scandal broke out between her and Zhou Jing, not only would she not be able to continue working in the Experimental Middle School, but Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen would also be ruined.
College teacher-student romance is okay, but a high school teacher being with her former student is too shocking.
From now on, when I am with Yang Wenwen, I have to hide from Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen when they see them wearing the Experimental Middle School uniform.
After leaving school, Zhou Jing called Yang Wenwen and then went to the company, while Yang Wenwen rode an electric bike home.
During the lunch break, people in the office of Yulin Branch of Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. were taking a break, eating, and the project team leader and technicians were discussing the project plan.
"Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Jing came to the office and everyone stopped what they were doing.
"It's okay, you continue."
Zhou Jing did not disturb them during the lunch break. He went to his private office, turned on his computer, logged into QQ and had a video chat with Gu Jia. Gu Jia must be very interested in knowing about the Experimental Middle School’s anniversary today.
In the video, Gu Jia smiled and said, "Didn't the school treat you to a meal?"
Zhou Jing: "No one was scheduled to go, so we dispersed after the school celebration. We gained a lot this time. One alumnus is a professor at the School of Information at Tangdu University of Electronic Science and Technology, and another professor at Tangdu Jiaotong University did not attend the school celebration."
Gu Jia: "University professors are indeed useful. It would be nice to have a joint research project with them."
Zhou Jing: "I think so too. Let the R&D department cooperate with the university team in the future."
Gu Jia: "Your students must adore you to death. Have you met your students?"
Zhou Jing: "Two students from our class came up on stage to receive their awards, and one of them was awarded by me."
Gu Jia: "You are very suitable to be a teacher, a mentor and a helpful friend. It's a pity if you are not a teacher. However, your biggest disadvantage as a teacher is that you are too handsome. Coupled with your personality charm, it is easy for girls to be fascinated by you."
Zhou Jing: "You too, I was so busy watching you not paying attention in class." Gu Jia smiled and said, "That's right, boys who are too handsome and girls who are too pretty are not suitable to be teachers. Which teachers did you meet today?"
"I've seen all the familiar ones, Zhao Xin, Yang Wenwen, Kong Fangfang."
Zhou Jing deliberately didn't mention Yang Wenwen first.
Gu Jia tapped the computer screen with his fingers and asked, "Why are you only talking about female teachers?"
Zhou Jing was calm and collected: "I don't know the male teachers well, there are more female teachers than men! Stand up so I can check your belly."
Gu Jia stood up from the chair, took a few steps back and asked if she could see it.
"Well, touch it for me."
Zhou Jing stared at the video window in the computer chat box. Gu Jia was wearing a maternity shirt on the upper body and white trousers on the lower body. Gu Jia usually dressed beautifully at home.
Gu Jia touched her belly and sat back in her chair: "Are you busy this afternoon?"
Zhou Jing: "I can be busy or not. Do you want me to be busy or not?"
Gu Jia: "If you are not busy, it means there is nothing important. Leave it to others and take a rest."
Zhou Jing: "I'll listen to you. How are you going to spend the afternoon?"
Gu Jia: “I don’t know either.”
After chatting with Gu Jia on video for a while, Zhou Jing called Bai Xiyao to ask about the progress of the acquisition of the electronics factory. Then he finished his work and went to the project site in Yulin City to check it out.
Zhou Jing drove to a project in a county not far from Yulin City.
It took two hours to reach the project site. The project was an electrical engineering project for a newly built small residential area in the county town. There were several buildings in the community. Like every surprise inspection, Zhou Jing did not notify the project team in advance. Only when he arrived at the construction site did he call the project manager to ask for a safety helmet.
After receiving the call from the boss, the project manager did not delay for a second. Just in case, the project manager personally went to get a safety helmet for Zhou Jing and instructed the deputy project supervisor to check the construction site as soon as possible.
"Mr. Zhou."
The project manager came to the construction site, trotted to the boss's car and handed him his safety helmet.
"Well, how's the progress?"
Zhou Jing took the safety helmet, put it on and entered the construction site.
Zhou Jing not only strictly demands of his subordinates, but also sets an example himself by wearing a safety helmet correctly before entering the construction site every time.
"Everything goes well. If there are no delays, it will be completed by the end of the month. What would you like to drink, Mr. Zhou?"
The project manager said as we passed by the small shop next to the construction site.
"Just mineral water."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou, wait a moment."
The project manager ran to the store and bought two bottles of Baishuishan with his own money. He came back, opened one and handed it to Zhou Jing first.
Zhou Jing took a sip of the water, then walked into the construction site and looked around. The community was not big but the buildings were tall, with more than ten floors in each building. This project was neither big nor small. Zhou Jing stopped beside a manhole cover and said, "Is this an electric well?"
As he said this, he asked someone to open the power well, and Zhou Jing went down to check the cables.
"Mr. Zhou, be careful. I'll go first."
The project manager asked his employees to take a flashlight and go down to explore the way.
After Zhou Jing went down, he mainly checked the cables. All cables used in all projects of Bowen Network Technology Co., Ltd. were inspected and shipped out from the headquarters warehouse. After Zhou Jing checked that there was no problem, he went up and then went to check each building.
Finally, the equipment and materials used in the project were checked and compared with the warehouse list from the headquarters. No problems were found. The additional consumption of cables was within the budget. As long as it was within the prescribed range, it didn't matter if the project team members resold it privately. Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao's bottom line is that no project team is allowed to use counterfeit and shoddy products instead of the company's equipment. If such a situation is discovered, it is not as simple as money and criminal liability will be pursued.
Zhou Jing returned at around 3:00 p.m. and arrived in Yulin at around 5:00 p.m. Yang Wenwen came home from school for dinner, so Zhou Jing went to Yang Wenwen's house for dinner. After returning to Yulin, Zhou Jing went to the company, stamped today's inspection report and handed it over to the public management staff for filing. The project inspection report is an integral part of the acceptance report.
Every step of the project from its inception to acceptance is very rigorous. After the company gets the project, it will form a project team according to the project needs, and then let the team make project plans. The company will approve the start of construction after inspection and confirmation. There will be irregular inspections during the project, and a comprehensive inspection and acceptance will be carried out after completion. If there is a mistake in any link, it is necessary to review and confirm where the problem lies and whether it will affect the safety of the project.
If there is an impact on safety, we will rework the problem area. Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. will never allow the delivery of projects with safety hazards.
After briefly dealing with the company's affairs, Yang Wenwen also got off work. Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen made an appointment by phone to meet in the community.
There was a traffic jam on the road at this time in the afternoon. Yang Wenwen, riding an electric bike, arrived at the community earlier than Zhou Jing who was driving. She waited for less than two minutes before she saw Zhou Jing's car approaching.
"Do you get honors at the opening ceremony every October?"
Zhou Jing got out of the car and asked with a smile.
"No, there wasn't one last year. This kind of commendation gives priority to the class teacher, but it's useless."
When Yang Wenwen first became a teacher, she cared a lot about the school's commendations, thinking that it would be beneficial to the teacher's professional title evaluation and personal career development. But over time, she felt that it was useless. The most important thing for a teacher is to achieve results. If you can't achieve results, nothing else matters. Even if you are a class teacher and work diligently from dawn to dusk for many years, if students' grades don't improve, it won't work. You may even be scolded by your leaders. So sometimes you feel sad when your students don't understand you.
"You need a material reward, right?"
Zhou Jing put his arm around Yang Wenwen's waist and said.
"Yes, your students' admiration for you is like a surging river."
Perhaps because she was afraid of being poor, Yang Wenwen’s biggest wish in the past few years was that the school would give her more money as a reward.
"My love for Teacher Yang was like a surging river back then, and it still is now."
Zhou Jing felt admired by his students. Most of the students in Class 1 and 2 of Senior High School added Zhou Jing on QQ, occasionally sent him messages or left messages, and never forgot to greet him on Teacher's Day every year, but Zhou Jing rarely replied.
"I didn't even notice it. Am I incompetent as a homeroom teacher?"
Yang Wenwen actually noticed Zhou Jing's gaze that year, but because other boys were also looking at her, she didn't pay much attention.
"What would you do if you knew my feelings at that time? I guess you wouldn't have any reaction. You don't like to take the initiative anyway."
Entering the residential building, Zhou Jing put his arm around Yang Wenwen's waist.
"No way." Yang Wenwen pinched Zhou Jing and said, "What does it mean to take the initiative?"
