Chapter 94: Two faces before and after? Perhaps you've studied Sichuan opera face-changing?
The three teachers almost came to blows over who Jiang Chengcheng should be assigned to, but in the end they all turned their attention to Jiang Chengcheng and let her choose for herself.
Faced with the piercing gazes of the three men, Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but swallow hard.
Then he spoke slowly.
“Um… all three teachers are from good universities, and I thank you for your high regard. However, my first choice is the aerospace engineering program at Qingdao University, and I don’t want to change it, so I can only apologize.” Jiang Chengcheng looked apologetically at Lin Xue and the teachers from Peking University.
After their commotion, she had already gained enough benefits, and Qingda University had promised to give Jingda University the same treatment, so there was no need to keep them hanging on.
"Are you really sure? Our National Defense University isn't bad either. We have many hidden benefits that other schools don't have." Hearing this, Lin Xue still made one last effort, unwilling to give up.
“That’s right, Jiang! Our Peking University is just as good! Why hang yourself on a crooked tree like Qingdao University?” The Peking University teacher echoed.
"Who are you calling a crooked tree! Don't listen to the fact that Jiang has already chosen Qingdao University. If you lose, you have to admit it. If you get hit, you have to stand up straight! Do you understand?!" Seeing that the two were still not giving up, Zhang Jingtai quickly separated Jiang Chengcheng from the other two as if guarding against thieves.
The two exchanged a glance, realizing they couldn't persuade Jiang Chengcheng to leave. Although disappointed, they had no choice but to go.
Just as he was about to get up, he was stopped by He Yan, who was already somewhat insane!
"Stop right there! Explain yourselves! What proof do you have of your identities?!" He Yan was so angry that she lost all reason and spoke without regard for the occasion.
Upon hearing He Yan's words, the three of them frowned and exchanged glances.
"What's wrong with this person?" They had sensed something was off about him earlier, but considering that He Yan might be Jiang Chengcheng's family member, the three of them finally took out identification documents from their pockets.
Seeing the gleaming ID, He Yan felt no joy whatsoever. She didn't want to see the document; she wanted to embarrass Jiang Chengcheng.
"Have you made enough of a scene? What does it matter to you whether it is or not? Who do you think you are? Who are you to tell me what to do?" Jiang Chengcheng could no longer contain her anger.
She originally didn't want to get entangled with He Yan, but the other party was too arrogant. Her family lived by the sea, and they were distant relatives who were not even related to her. Yet, He Yan even wanted to interfere in her college education!
"Teachers, I apologize for the trouble I caused at home. Let's leave it at that for today. I will definitely come to apologize in person another day." Jiang Chengcheng glanced coldly at He Yan, then turned to the three of them and replied.
The three of them could roughly tell that He Yan and Jiang Chengcheng were not on the same side, and thinking that this was their family matter, they turned around and left one after the other.
Seeing that the three had completely disappeared from sight, Jiang Chengcheng turned around and looked at He Yan.
“He Yan, I’m avoiding you not because I’m afraid of you, but because I don’t want to make things too difficult for my family. But if you insist on making things difficult for me, then we’ll do it the way we want!” Jiang Chengcheng said coldly, her eyes deep.
Perhaps intimidated by Jiang Chengcheng's imposing manner, or perhaps seeing the three people's identification documents brought her back to her senses, He Yan's arrogant demeanor also subsided somewhat.
"Xiao Cheng! What are you doing here?" Just as the group was lost in their own thoughts, a middle-aged man's voice came from the side again.
Jiang Chengcheng should have bought a lottery ticket when she got back today. She had only been out for an hour and had already run into so many acquaintances!
The person approaching from not far away was Dong Kefeng, the municipal party secretary, followed by several unfamiliar faces, who were presumably also staff members of the unit.
"Uncle Dong, you're here too?" Jiang Chengcheng quickly suppressed her anger and greeted Dong Kefeng with a smile when she saw him come over to say hello.
"Yes, I have some official business here. Are you having dinner with your family?" Dong Kefeng asked, glancing at the people behind Jiang Chengcheng.
“Yes, I’m here to have dinner with my family.” Jiang Chengcheng didn’t want to bring up family matters in front of outsiders, fearing that He Yan might cause trouble in front of Dong Kefeng again, so she spoke up.
"Really? I wonder which two are your parents?" Dong Kefeng didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, but turned around to look at the group behind Jiang Chengcheng.
"Oh, hello, I'm Chengcheng's father, Jiang Hai. This is her mother, Cheng Juan." Seeing Dong Kefeng asking about the two of them, Jiang Hai, even though he didn't know how the other party knew his daughter Jiang Chengcheng, stepped forward to greet them and replied.
"So you two are Xiao Cheng's parents. You've really raised a wonderful daughter! A hero emerges from among the young. She's the pride of our W City! I've long wanted to visit you both and ask you how you raised such a good child as Xiao Cheng! Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance!" Jiang Chengcheng thought the other party was looking for her parents to discuss something important.
As a result, Dong Kefeng started with a barrage of praise, which made Jiang Chengcheng, who was usually very outgoing, blush a little, wondering if she was really that great.
Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?
Jiang Hai and Cheng Juan, standing to the side, were flattered. As natives of W City, they knew that this man was the newly appointed top official in their city. Now that their daughter was being praised by him, Jiang Chengcheng's parents were also very honored.
"You flatter me. It's all thanks to the good national environment and the excellent teaching." Perhaps because they had never faced such an important figure as Dong Kefeng before, Jiang Hai and Cheng Juan were momentarily flustered and incoherent.
"You're too modest! By the way, this is my personal contact information. If you two need any help in the future, please feel free to call me!" As soon as Dong Kefeng finished speaking, a young man behind him handed him a business card.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Dong Kefeng turned and left because he had other business to attend to.
……
At this moment, He Yan dared not say another word of nonsense. She was impulsive, but not stupid. She dared to speak to the Jiang family like that before only because she saw that none of them were capable, so she acted recklessly!
Now that they see that this family actually knows Dong Kefeng, how could they dare to be so presumptuous!
Looking at the group chatting and laughing, He Yan wished she could go back a few minutes and slap her past self!
Why are you arguing with a child?!
"Um... Chengcheng, why didn't you say you knew Dong Wei earlier? I was only trying to help you, I didn't mean any harm, please don't take it to heart, Auntie apologizes to you." He Yan thought of Jiang Chengcheng's previous furious state and was afraid that the other party would really retaliate against her and her husband, so she quickly adopted a humble attitude.
"Ha! Do I need to talk to you? Who do you think you are? Forget about the apology, I don't have any inexplicable aunts or mothers. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Seeing He Yan's two different faces, Jiang Chengcheng sneered, extremely disdainful, and too lazy to get entangled with her.
However, considering that her uncles and the others would have to live with her stepmother in the future, as long as He Yan kept a low profile, she wouldn't mind turning a blind eye!
