Chapter 289: Chapter 282: Give Him the Chair
“So, is it not possible?” Lin Yile really cried this time. Was her dream really in conflict with reality?
“Lele...” Lin’s mother tried to console her daughter, “You’ve had a weak health since childhood, so I didn’t let you learn the piano. If you want to study music, what do you need to learn? Piano or singing, you’ve already lost at the starting line. Your father and I know it’s doomed. How could we let you go down that path? Moreover, regardless of the major you study, you may not be able to get into Qing University. Your score is only just touching the edge of what’s required, and if you miss or overshoot this edge, it’s all uncertain.”
Lin Yile returned to her room and cried for a long time. When she emerged, it seemed like she had come to some understanding.
“Mom, Dad, I will not study music anymore.”
Only then did Lin’s parents breathe a sigh of relief. Their daughter’s notion had finally changed. They really didn’t know what to do if she held on to her original idea. Fortunately, she changed her mind.
As Lin Yile lifted her head, her musical dream had been cried away. Tang Yuxin was right, between dreams and reality, there always lies the issue of ability.
Her ability was not enough to support her musical dream, so she would no longer think about it.
She was going to pursue a more realistic path now.
“Dad, Mom, I want to study nursing. I want to become a nurse.”
“Good,” Lin’s dad was the first to agree. He originally wanted his daughter to become a teacher or a doctor. However, he knew his daughter was timid and not suited for surgery. So, it was best for her to be a nurse, or a teacher.
But now that his daughter wants to be a nurse, then a nurse she shall be. And if she really gets into Qing University, then, after graduation, she won’t be an ordinary nurse, but a top-tier nurse.
This brings promise, limitless potential.
Of course, Lin’s mother agreed too. This child had weak health. Being a nurse in the future would at least guarantee her personal health.
For Lin Yile, they filled her first preference for university as the Nursing Department of Qing University Medical College, while the second preference was a second-tier college further from Qing’an. Despite being farther away, this college was also highly respected in nursing. So the second preference, as chosen by Lin’s father, was this one.
“But who would have thought, I am finally moving on.”
Lin’s father was startled. Moving on, where to?
The leader patted Lin’s father’s shoulder lightly, “Thanks to this opportunity, otherwise, I would not have been able to move so smoothly to a position at the provincial committee.”
Lin’s father was even more baffled now. He hadn’t done anything, had he?
“Ah, sorry. I forgot to inform you earlier.” The leader slapped himself on the forehead, revealing a hint of a bald patch. Indeed, he had grown old, and had started to lose hair. But the prospect of a promotion made all this hair loss worthwhile.
“I guess you’re in the dark about these details, aren’t you?”
Lin’s father nodded. Indeed, he had no clue about all of this. He was pretty confused. What was all this about? Why should he be thanked? What did the leader’s promotion have to do with him?
“Hehe...” The leader laughed again, a genuine one this time. There was nothing added, just pure happiness.
“We have a provincial topper in Qing’an for the college entrance examination this year, and from the school you manage, six students have been admitted into Nanqing University and Qing University. Moreover, many of them have been admitted into nationally renowned first-tier universities. This year, our Qing’an has nearly matched the results of the province’s Number One High School, and even surpassed it.”
Upon hearing this, Lin’s father’s heart skipped a beat.
The school he managed, wasn’t it Number Five High School?
If it was indeed Number Five High School, then out of the six students accepted into Qing University and Nanqing University, Tang Yuxin must be one of them. After all, she had been the top student in her grade for those three years. Whether it was her or not was still uncertain, but Lin’s father felt there was a high chance it was.
“It’s all thanks to those kids.”
The leader sighed once more, then patted Lin’s father’s shoulder again, “After I move out, this position will be yours.”
Lin’s father’s heart took another leap. Was the leader really going to give him this position?
