Chapter 187: Failing Grade...A Day in the Snack Shop

Xu Hengzhou headed south, gone for over half a month. During this time, he had two phone calls with Xiang Chen, also passing on some messages for Dong Ping to convey Dong Bo's recent situation.

Xiang Chen's work progressed smoothly. He now had quite a reputation at the school, and most of the teachers and students there knew him.

Xiang Chen felt that perhaps it was because he was young and promising. He was among the first batch of graduates to stay at the school after the resumption of the college entrance examination. If it were in later years, at his age, it would be fine to become a teaching assistant, but to be appointed as a lecturer, and even to hear about the possibility of promotion after some time, was utterly impossible in the future.

The other teachers at the school were mostly nearing forty, at least. Xiang Chen, at just twenty-two, was much younger, practically a generation apart from the professors. Not to mention the students of the "Third Senior Year" in later years, many of whom were in their thirties, older than Xiang Chen by several years.

Fortunately, Xiang Chen did indeed have the ability. He remained sufficiently modest, considering himself not particularly bright, never slacking off in his studies, constantly improving himself over the years, and benefiting from the guidance of renowned teachers. Now, he could be considered successful academically.

Previously, Song Wenbin's family didn't know that he had graduated early and decided to stay at the school. When Xiang Chen first received this news, it came quite suddenly, and the situation wasn't entirely certain at first, so he didn't want to make a fuss about it. Later, when he graduated smoothly, the school also actively proposed for him to stay.

During summer vacation, Xu Hengzhou treated everyone to dinner and shared this good news. However, at that time, Song Wenbin's family was still far away in the northwest, so Xiang Chen hesitated to specifically inform them about this news through a letter. Before he could do so, Song Wenbin and his family were transferred over.

Upon arriving in the capital, Song Wenbin learned that Xiang Chen had already graduated from university and started working. He was particularly happy, patting Xiang Chen on the shoulder and praising him for being successful.

Then he talked about Xiang Chen's childhood, saying that he had been intelligent since he was young—teachers praised him, classmates praised him, and even classmates' parents praised him. As Xiang Chen's parent, Song Wenbin enjoyed quite a bit of attention among the parents, thoroughly relishing the treatment of being the parent of a top student.

However, this perk probably only came once. When it was their own daughter's turn, Song Wenbin suddenly experienced the pain of being the parent of an average student.

It all started when Fang Ping took Xiao Ping'an to school for the entrance exam. They were initially confident, after all, even though Xiao Ping'an hadn't attended school before, Teacher Tan had taught her in a small class setting, one-on-one teaching by a university professor. What couldn't she learn?

Moreover, Teacher Tan had also taught Chen Xiaocao. Despite starting her lessons later than Xiao Ping'an, she did so well in the exam that she could immediately go to high school. Xiao Ping'an couldn't be much worse, could she?

Before going to school, Song Wenbin even fantasized with Fang Ping that maybe their daughter could astonish everyone like Xiang Chen did when he participated in the advanced placement exam, jumping several grades at once. That would be quite an honor.
