Chapter 73

Song Mengyao chose the Ru Yi Pavilion at the Golden Xiangyu Hotel in the center of the city. After class, Zhang Yunfeng sent Su Nuyan to the bus stop to wait for the last bus. After seeing her on board, he bid her farewell and rode his bicycle to Jin Xiangyu.

Although it was Xiang Restaurant, the quality and location of the restaurant was also one of the best in River City. When Zhang Yunfeng was led to Ru Yi Pavilion by a waiter, Song Mengyao had already been waiting there for a long time.

Song Mengyao even ordered two bottles of beer. The moment Zhang Yunfeng sat down, she poured each of them a cup of wine and held it up, looked at Zhang Yunfeng, and said seriously, "Keeping Class 21 safe, teacher has yet to properly thank you, you not only helped everyone, but also teacher, this is a huge favor for teacher, and this cup of wine is very important to you, teacher, thank you for everything you've done for everyone."

Zhang Yunfeng raised his glass and emptied it, "Teacher Song, in fact, I should be thanking you. As soon as I arrived at Class 21, you used your free time to help me study English, and when I entered the jail, you were one of the few people who truly cared about me. In comparison, the small things I did didn't count as anything.

"Not at all." Song Mengyao sincerely said: "It is teacher's duty to care about your students, but you are different... Furthermore, treating you to a meal is just a show of goodwill and should have been the first thing I did to treat you to. I didn't expect to treat the wrong person at noon.

Zhang Yunfeng said in astonishment, "Teacher, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Song Mengyao told Zhang Yunfeng everything that happened in the afternoon as if it was a joke. Zhang Yunfeng laughed heartily and sighed, "Is that Teacher Chen really that interesting?"

"This is called interesting?" Song Mengyao thought about what had happened in the afternoon and still felt a bit depressed. She said angrily, "I'm almost going to die from anger because of him."

Zhang Yunfeng laughed, "He also has good intentions, but his motive is not pure. However, compared to the future of the horse and the likes of Principal, he is still better."

"Yeah." Song Mengyao could not help but sigh as well, "I used to think that teaching is a very sacred profession, but when I came to Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School and started doing it, I realized that I could not get rid of fame and benefits. Although I don't value money, I long to be able to achieve amazing results, so my goal has started to become more complicated. In this period of time, the school has produced so many dirty and dirty things, which allowed me to discover the gap between reality and my dreams."

Zhang Yunfeng agreed, "Teachers are also a type of profession, and the majority of people choose this profession for the sake of survival, not for the sake of ideals. Zhang Yunfeng agreed," Teachers are also a type of occupation, and the majority of people choose this profession for the sake of survival, not for the sake of ideals.

"Yes." Song Mengyao sighed, "It's precisely because of this mentality that they threw Class 21 to me at the start, and then thought of taking it back."

Song Mengyao paused for a moment, looked at Zhang Yunfeng, and said sincerely, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank you. In the eyes of the other teachers, I'm just an intern from a foreign land. If it weren't for your hard work, I'm afraid Class 21 wouldn't have existed for a long time."

Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "Teacher Song, let's not thank each other anymore. Otherwise, who knows how long it will take for us to get."

Song Mengyao also nodded with a smile, "Alright then. I've finished thanking you. Now we have some serious matters to discuss."

"Alright." Zhang Yunfeng nodded his head and asked, "Where do we start?"

Song Mengyao said, "Class 21 has been formed in a hurry, and I don't have any experience as a form teacher either. Plus, with the incident with Chen Ru not long after you joined the class, and the incident with the parents causing trouble, the class has never chosen a class monitor. I want to invite you to be Class 21's form teacher for the rest of the time, and only you are able to convince the public."

Zhang Yunfeng nodded, "No problem. I will do my best to let everyone prepare for the college entrance exam without distractions. As for the other matters, I will do my best to handle them as well."

Song Mengyao said happily, "That can't be any better. The teachers all said that the students in our class were not easy to manage, but after your speech, not only did the students in our class become more united, they also became more self-aware. You are a good role model for them, and this is also the main reason why I want you to become class monitor.

Saying that, Song Mengyao continued, "But don't let the position of class chairman affect your own review. It will be the college entrance exam soon. Teacher, I'm still hoping that you will be able to become the champion of the college entrance exam."

Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, the goal that I set for myself is to save the top scorer from the college entrance exam. I won't let this honor pass by so easily."

Zhang Yunfeng craved the honor of being the champion of the college entrance examination more than anyone else, because to him, it wasn't just a simple matter of glory. What accompanied him was the system's reward of 3,000 points! 3000 contribution points, for the current Zhang Yunfeng, was truly an enormous sum of wealth. He absolutely could not allow himself to miss out on this opportunity!

When Song Mengyao saw how confident Zhang Yunfeng was about the College Entrance Examination Champion, and how confident he was about him, he opened his mouth and asked, "Oh right, have you thought about which university you want to enroll for the College Entrance Examination?"

"Yan Jing University." Zhang Yunfeng answered without hesitation, "Yan Jing University is one of the top universities in the country, not a single one. It is also my only goal for the college entrance examination."

Song Mengyao nodded in agreement and said: "Going to Beijing is the right choice. If you go to Beijing University, maybe I can still continue to be your teacher."

Zhang Yunfeng asked in surprise, "It can't be? Teacher, you are also going to Beijing? "

Song Mengyao smiled: "My home is in Beijing, so I'm not going to Beijing. It should be to Beijing."

Song Mengyao could see the curiosity in Zhang Yunfeng's eyes, so she said: "My university is Beijing Normal University, it is more accurate to say that I have not graduated yet, and have only come to River City as an intern while preparing my thesis. After your college entrance examination is over, I will have to go to Beijing to prepare my essay defense."

Zhang Yunfeng could not help but ask, "Then, teacher, after you return, are you preparing to teach at Yan Jing University?"

"I'm not sure." Song Mengyao smiled and said: "Graduate students are definitely required, but I didn't think much about whether it should be a direct exam or a direct exam. My favorite universities are Beijing Normal University and Beijing University, the former was chosen because of my love for the teaching profession, but whether it is my job or exam, Beijing University is my only choice."

Zhang Yunfeng nodded his head as if he was enlightened, and said with a smile, "I do hope that Teacher Song will choose to take the exam directly."

Song Mengyao asked curiously, "Why?"

Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "Because if that's the case, then you're my senior sister and not my teacher."

Song Mengyao scoffed, saying, "Senior sister, senior brother, teacher, student, what do you think?"

"It's a big deal now." Zhang Yunfeng said, "The former is of the same generation. That way, when we meet in the future, we don't need to call each other teacher. We can just call each other elder sister or senior sister."

Song Mengyao pursed her lips and said: "Then I'll try my best to work at Yan Jing University before taking the exam to become a graduate student. Maybe I can use some connections and when you go to Yan Jing University to report, I'll teach you English."

Zhang Yunfeng nodded his head, "That's right."

Song Mengyao gave Zhang Yunfeng a meaningful look, "If you want to go to Yan Jing, I'm afraid that a large part of the reason is because of her, right?"

"This …" Zhang Yunfeng felt a little awkward, he didn't know how to answer. Song Mengyao was her class teacher after all, so it wasn't appropriate to discuss about Su Nanyan with her.

Song Meng Yao couldn't help but smile, and teased: "If it's a love affair, I won't object as long as it doesn't affect my studies. You are both very outstanding; maybe you will be able to become a part of it."
