Siheyuan: I just want to live

Chapter 292 Go to the Scrapyard to Resign

The night slowly descended like a huge black curtain, covering the entire city. In a corner of the city, Chen Feng's family was enjoying a warm and peaceful dinner time.

The family sat around the dining table, the light shining softly, reflecting their happy smiles. After dinner, Jin Ling took the child upstairs, and after coaxing the child to sleep, she slowly walked to the bed, lay down on her side, and felt the comfort brought by the soft big bed.

After dinner, Jin Ming went back to continue studying his third year of junior high school courses.

After Chen Feng cleaned up the mess, he turned off the lights in the main room and went upstairs.

After reaching the second floor, Chen Feng saw that Jin Ling had already lay down, so Chen Feng also washed his feet and lay down on the other side of the bed.

Jin Ling looked sideways at Chen Feng beside her and asked softly, "Husband, have you dealt with Jin Ming's schooling?"

There was a hint of concern in her eyes.

When Chen Feng heard his wife's question, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile. He gently held Jin Ling's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, wife, I have already dealt with half of it. The next thing is not urgent, it won't be too late to do it after we join the steel plant!"

Jin Ling was puzzled when she heard this. She asked in confusion, "Husband, how can this matter be said to be half done?"

Seeing that his wife didn't understand what he meant, Chen Feng patiently explained: "Wife! This is what happened..."

Then, Chen Feng told Jin Ling in detail everything he had done that afternoon.

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Jin Ling understood that Chen Feng went to the school in the afternoon and communicated with the principal about Jin Ming's situation. Although Jin Ming was not allowed to resume classes, he still got his graduation certificate.

From what Chen Feng said, it seemed that he wanted to wait until he joined the steel plant and then find a high school and let Jin Ming go directly to high school.

After listening to Chen Feng's narration, Jin Ling still had doubts in her heart and said worriedly: "Husband, is this really okay? Will it affect Jin Ming's studies?"

Chen Feng sensed his wife's worry. He held Jin Ling's hand tightly and said firmly, "Don't worry, wife. Believe me, this will definitely not have a big impact on Jin Ming's studies."

Jin Ling felt relieved after hearing what her husband said, but she still said with some trepidation: "Okay, I hope everything goes well. But, honey, we have to get this done as soon as possible!"

Chen Feng nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I know, wife. After we get settled down in the steel mill, I will find a school right away!"

Jin Ling's worries did not diminish when she heard Chen Feng say that. She frowned and asked, "Husband, you said it lightly, but is it really that easy to find a suitable high school? Even if we find one, will they be willing to take Jin Ming in?"

Chen Feng sensed his wife's worry and quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, wife. There are so many high schools in the city, there will always be one that is suitable for Jin Ming."

He patted his chest and assured, with a confident gleam in his eyes.

"If the public school really doesn't accept us, we can still consider private schools! The worst that can happen is that we have to spend a little more money, which is nothing to our family."

Chen Feng said with a smile, trying to put Jin Ling at ease.

After hearing Chen Feng's firm words, Jin Ling's mood finally calmed down a little.

In fact, she didn’t particularly care whether Jin Ming went to a public school or a private school. As long as Jin Ming could continue to receive education and have a good school to study, that was enough.

However, deep down, Chen Feng actually prefers to let Jin Ming receive education in public school.

This is because he knows very well that the educational resources and teaching quality possessed by public schools are far beyond the reach of current private schools.

Today's private schools are completely different from the private aristocratic schools that Chen Feng remembered in his previous life. The private schools in Chen Feng's impression were private aristocratic schools with tuition fees of hundreds of thousands per year.

Nowadays, these private schools mainly exist in some big cities. Due to insufficient enrollment in public schools, local governments have cooperated with private individuals or groups to establish these schools. Their main purpose is to recruit students who failed to get into public middle schools or technical secondary schools.

In comparison, public schools have a stronger faculty, with the vast majority of teachers being graduates of normal schools, while private school teachers are mainly newly graduated high school students and some surplus personnel in society.

In general, the quality of teachers in private schools is relatively low, about 10% lower than that in public schools.

Therefore, if there is a chance, Chen Feng still hopes to send Jin Ming to a public school. In this way, he can enjoy better educational resources and higher level of teaching quality, laying a solid foundation for future development.

But it’s too early to say this now. There is still some time before school starts. Chen Feng can slowly look for a public school in Sijiu City that is willing to accept Jin Ming.

After Chen Feng told Jin Ling everything, Jin Ling no longer cared about Jin Ming's schooling because she knew that her husband would definitely handle the matter.

So Chen Feng and Jin Ling stopped talking and fell asleep.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the room, and Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes. Although he usually got up late, today was different. Because he needed to go to the scrap yard to quit his job, he deliberately got up early.

Just after eight o'clock, Chen Feng had already ridden his bicycle out of the courtyard and headed towards the scrap yard. When he arrived at the scrap yard, it was not yet half past eight.

Chen Feng parked his bike in front of Li Guotao's office door, his eyes fell on the door, and he noticed that the door was not closed, but only half-open. After a brief pause, he decided to go in directly.

As Chen Feng entered the office, Li Guotao, who was reviewing documents, also raised his head. When he saw that it was Chen Feng who came in, his expression did not change at all.

He said to Chen Feng in a calm tone: "It's Chen Feng! You're here! Please sit down for a while. I will finish reviewing this document in my hand, and then we can talk about things."

After saying that, Li Guotao no longer paid attention to Chen Feng and continued to focus on the document in his hand, reviewing it word by word, and occasionally picking up a pen to make some comments on it.

After hearing Li Guotao's response, Chen Feng smiled and nodded to show his understanding. He walked gently to the desk, gently pulled out the chair, and sat down slowly, trying not to make any noise so as not to disturb Li Guotao's work.

Chen Feng sat on the chair waiting for him to finish reviewing the documents. He saw him looking at the documents intently, making comments on them with a pen from time to time, with a focused and serious expression.

After a long while, Li Guotao finally finished revising the document in his hand.

After the corrections were done, Chen Feng saw Li Guotao cap the pen in his hand and gently put it back into the pen holder. Then, he carefully closed the document and neatly placed it aside.

The whole process was smooth and natural, showing his usual rigor and meticulousness.

After all this was done, Li Guotao raised his head, looked at Chen Feng with a smile, and asked calmly, "You came to me today to resign after thinking it through, right?"

Seeing Li Guotao speak so directly, Chen Feng no longer hesitated and answered frankly: "Webmaster, you are right! I am here to resign today."

But when he was talking, Chen Feng didn't dare to look at Li Guotao. He didn't know why, but when Chen Feng came to resign today, he felt like a deserter, and he didn't dare to face Li Guotao.

Hearing Chen Feng's frank words, Li Guotao raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and spoke with a relaxed and humorous tone.

"I knew it was like that. Otherwise, with your personality, you would definitely be sleeping at home at this time. How could you possibly come to work?"

Hearing Li Guotao teasing him like this, Chen Feng smiled a little embarrassedly, but still followed his words and said: "Webmaster is wise!"

When Li Guotao heard what Chen Feng said, a smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop flattering me. You're almost turning me into a hornet's nest!"

After saying this, Li Guotao couldn't help laughing again, and his laughter revealed his love and affection for Chen Feng.

When the laughter died down, Li Guotao restrained his expression, looked at Chen Feng seriously and asked, "Did Hou Debang tell you which position you would be assigned to after you go to the steel plant?"

Hearing this question, Chen Feng nodded slightly, and then slowly said: "He gave me two positions to choose from."

Upon hearing this, Li Guotao immediately became interested, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and asked impatiently: "Oh? Two positions? Then tell me quickly, what kind of positions are they?"

Hearing that Li Guotao was also curious, Chen Feng began to explain in detail, "One is the section chief of the third purchasing section, a section-level position, and I work with Hou Debang's brother Hou Dekui. I am the section chief and Hou Dekui is the deputy section chief."

After hearing Chen Feng finish talking about the first position, Li Guotao raised his eyebrows, but he did not speak immediately. Instead, he waited for Chen Feng to continue.

Chen Feng then said, "The second position is the deputy director of the farm attached to the steel plant, which is also a section-level position."

After listening to Chen Feng's words, Li Guotao smiled and said to Chen Feng, "Then how did you choose?"

Seeing Li Guotao asking this, Chen Feng did not hide it and said directly, "I chose the deputy director of the farm."

When Li Guotao heard Chen Feng's words, his expression did not change, but he continued to ask, "Why do we need to elect a deputy farm director?"

Seeing that he was still asking this, Chen Feng said, "How could such a good position as the head of the third purchasing department of the steel plant be vacant by coincidence? This is obviously the position that Hou Debang reserved for his brother."

"If I choose this position, wouldn't it be obvious that I'm blocking Hou Dekui's way?"
