My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1261 Bearing

From home cooking to various small renovations at home, each of Zhou Xing's videos is full of the flavor of life, making people feel unprecedented warmth and reality.

Behind the hustle and bustle of the bustling city, there is always a group of migrant workers who work silently. They use their sweat to water the high-rise buildings in the city, but they always have their nostalgia and dreams for their hometown in their hearts. Zhou Xing is one of them. After several years of hard work, he has accumulated a considerable amount of savings and decided to return to his hometown to renovate the old house that carries his childhood memories.

Zhou Xing's hometown is located in a quiet countryside with beautiful mountains and clear waters and fresh air. However, with the changes of the times, young people in the village have gone out to work, and the old houses left behind are becoming increasingly dilapidated. Zhou Xing looked at the shaky door and felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He decided to turn this homesickness into motivation and give the old house a new life.

Zhou Xing immediately invited a professional designer and construction team to completely renovate the old house. He retained the original structure of the house and cleverly integrated modern elements into it. The mottled earthen walls were painted white, the old wooden windows were replaced with spacious and bright French windows, and various flowers, plants and trees were planted in the yard, making the whole yard full of vitality.

During the renovation process, Zhou Xing suddenly had an idea and decided to record the process and share it online. So he picked up his phone and started shooting vlogs, from the initial design to every detail of the construction, to the display of the results after the renovation. Each video attracted a lot of attention and likes from netizens. Gradually, Zhou Xing's account accumulated a group of loyal fans, who were moved by Zhou Xing's story and were full of yearning for the beautiful rural scenery in his hands.

At this time, neighbor Ling Xue found Zhou Xing and hoped that he could help him with some ideas. Ling Xue's family planted a large number of figs, but due to limited sales channels, many fruits were wasted every year due to improper storage. Seeing Ling Xue's gloomy face, Zhou Xing suddenly had an idea and came up with a bold idea - using the live broadcast platform to sell fig trees and fruits!

The two acted quickly. Zhou Xing was responsible for technical support and live broadcast planning, while Ling Xue was responsible for providing product information and logistical support. They purchased professional live broadcast equipment, built a simple live broadcast room, and carefully designed live broadcast scripts and interactive links. Soon, their live broadcast channel was officially launched.

In the early days of live broadcasting, due to lack of experience, the two encountered many difficulties. For example, equipment debugging was not smooth, network signals were unstable, audience interaction was cold, etc. But they did not give up, but encouraged each other and kept trying new methods. In order to attract more viewers, they also invited the elderly and children in the village to be guests in the live broadcast room, telling rural stories and showing rural life. Gradually, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room became lively, and the number of viewers also increased accordingly.

By chance, Zhou Xing tried a bite of Ling Xue's figs during a live broadcast, and the sweet taste instantly conquered his taste buds. He excitedly shared this delicious taste with the audience and introduced the nutritional value and eating methods of figs in detail. Unexpectedly, this move triggered a strong response from the audience, and they left messages asking how to buy it. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue realized that this was exactly the business opportunity they had been looking for!

Therefore, they quickly adjusted their live broadcast strategy and focused on the promotion of figs. They filmed the growth process of figs, the picking scene, and various ways of eating them, and disseminated them through live broadcast platforms. At the same time, they also provided pre-order services and group purchase discounts, which attracted many netizens to place orders. As sales continued to rise, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue became more and more confident.

In order to improve the customer experience, they also set up a WeChat group to maintain close communication with customers. Whenever new fruits are ripe or there are special promotions, they will notify everyone in the group as soon as possible. This kind of thoughtful service not only won the trust and support of customers, but also made their reputation spread quickly on the Internet.

As time went by, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's business grew bigger and bigger. They not only sold figs and other agricultural products, but also began to expand rural tourism routes and organized city tourists to come to the village to experience rural life, taste farm food, and participate in agricultural activities. This move not only promoted the economic development of the village, but also made more people understand and fall in love with this beautiful countryside.

Today, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue have become role models for rural entrepreneurship. Their stories inspire more young people to return to their hometowns and create a better future with their own hands. The once forgotten countryside has also been rejuvenated with new vitality and vigor under their efforts, becoming the "poetry and distance" in the hearts of more people.

In a corner of a bustling city, there stands a magnificent education palace - Xingyao Private School. It is like a shining pearl, running through the entire stage of education from kindergarten to university, carrying the hopes and dreams of countless families. Behind this school are the silent efforts and perseverance of two key figures, the principal Zhou Xing and the largest shareholder Ling Xue.

Zhou Xing has had an ideal of education since he was young, and he longed to carve out a space of his own in the field of education. After graduating from university, he gave up the opportunity to work in a public college and resolutely plunged into the entrepreneurial wave of private education. After years of hard work and accumulation, he gradually emerged and attracted many like-minded educational partners to co-found this Xingyao Private School.

Ling Xue, a strong woman from a business family, has shown unique vision and courage in the field of education investment. She was impressed by Zhou Xing's educational philosophy and enthusiasm for running a school, and resolutely decided to become the largest shareholder of the school, injecting strong financial support and resource guarantees for the development of the school.

In the early days of the school, it faced many difficulties. Problems such as weak teaching staff, poor teaching facilities, and difficulty in recruiting students followed one after another. However, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue did not back down. They ran around to hire excellent teachers, raise funds to improve teaching conditions, and carry out recruitment publicity activities in the community. With their efforts, the school gradually got on the right track, the number of students increased steadily, and the teaching quality gradually improved.

As the school develops, the differences between Zhou Xing and Ling Xue in educational philosophy gradually emerge. Zhou Xing adheres to the traditional elite education concept, focusing on students' academic performance and comprehensive quality training, emphasizing strict discipline and hard-working learning spirit. He believes that only through high-intensity learning and training can competitive talents be cultivated.

Ling Xue, influenced by advanced educational concepts from abroad, is more inclined to quality education and personalized education. She believes that every child is a unique individual, and education should respect students' individual differences, stimulate their interests and potential, and let students learn happily and grow through exploration.

The collision of the two educational philosophies has sparked heated discussions and controversies within the school. Some teachers and parents support Zhou Xing's traditional education model, believing it is an effective way to improve students' academic performance, while others agree with Ling Xue's quality education philosophy, believing it is conducive to students' physical and mental health and all-round development.

Faced with differences, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue did not force their own views, but chose to communicate and learn from each other. They organized a teacher team to carry out education seminars, invited domestic and foreign education experts to give lectures and guidance, and jointly discussed the nature of education and future development trends. In this process, they gradually realized that traditional education and quality education are not incompatible, but can be integrated and complement each other.

Just as the school was developing rapidly, a sudden crisis came. Due to the construction of several new public schools in the surrounding areas and the introduction of a series of preferential policies, the source of students for Xingyao Private School was seriously affected. At the same time, some problems also occurred within the school. Some excellent teachers were poached by other schools with high salaries, and the teaching quality declined to a certain extent. Some parents became dissatisfied with the school and asked to transfer.

Faced with the severe situation of internal and external troubles, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue felt unprecedented pressure. However, they were not discouraged, but took quick action to jointly deal with the crisis. On the one hand, Zhou Xing organized teachers to strengthen teaching discussions, improve teaching methods, and improve classroom teaching efficiency; on the other hand, he actively carried out extracurricular tutoring and interest group activities to enrich students' extracurricular life and enhance students' sense of belonging and identity with the school. Ling Xue used her personal resources to actively expand enrollment channels, strengthen communication and contact with parents, and promptly understand parents' needs and opinions. She also launched a series of preferential measures and reward policies to attract students to apply.

With their joint efforts, the school gradually overcame the crisis. The teaching quality was significantly improved, students won outstanding results in various competitions, and the school's reputation was restored. More and more parents began to recognize the educational philosophy and teaching model of Xingyao Private School, and the student source problem was effectively solved.

After the crisis, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were not satisfied with the status quo, but were determined to further promote educational innovation and practice. They knew that in today's rapidly developing era, education must keep pace with the times and constantly adapt to the needs of social development.

At Ling Xue's suggestion, the school introduced an internationally advanced curriculum system and teaching methods, opened international courses, and provided a more convenient channel for students who intend to study abroad. At the same time, the school also strengthened cooperation and exchanges with domestic and foreign universities, carried out academic exchanges, teacher-student exchanges and other activities, and broadened students' horizons and international thinking.

Zhou Xingze focuses on education and teaching reform. He advocates a "student-centered" classroom teaching model and encourages teachers to adopt teaching methods such as group cooperative learning and project-based learning to stimulate students' learning initiative and creativity. He also actively promotes the deep integration of information technology and education and teaching, builds an intelligent campus, introduces online teaching platforms, virtual laboratories and other teaching resources, and provides students with a more convenient and efficient learning environment.

With their joint efforts, the education and teaching level of Xingyao Private School has made a qualitative leap. Students have demonstrated outstanding talents and abilities in various fields, and the school has become the first choice for many parents.

However, as their careers flourished, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's relationship quietly changed. The long-term relationship between them created a special tacit understanding and emotional dependence. They appreciated and supported each other and moved forward hand in hand in their common cause.

But this relationship also put them in a dilemma. As the school's principal and largest shareholder, they shouldered a great responsibility and mission and could not let their personal feelings affect the school's development. Moreover, they also knew clearly that this relationship might face pressure and doubts from family, society and other aspects.

On a quiet night, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue came to the lakeside of the campus, looking at the sparkling water, they frankly exchanged their thoughts and feelings with each other. They both knew that this relationship had gone beyond an ordinary partnership, but they were afraid that once it was made public, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

After careful consideration, they finally made a difficult decision - to bury this feeling deep in their hearts, put their careers first, and continue to work hard for the development of the school. They believe that only by giving full play to their respective positions can they best interpret this feeling.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Xingyao Private School has gone through dozens of years. With the joint efforts of Zhou Xing and Ling Xue, the school has become a well-known private education institution in China, and has trained tens of thousands of outstanding graduates. They shine in various fields and become pillars of society.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue have also grown from young entrepreneurs to gray-haired educators. Looking back on the past, they are filled with emotion. The journey has been full of hardships and challenges, but they have also gained countless happiness and joy. They have written a brilliant educational legend with their youth and passion.

At a sunny graduation ceremony, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue stood on the stage, looking at the energetic faces below the stage, their hearts filled with satisfaction and pride. They knew that these students were the hope and future of the school, and the best witnesses of their educational career.

"Classmates, today you are about to leave your alma mater and embark on a new journey. No matter where you go, you must remember the teachings of your alma mater, be brave in hard work and innovation, and work hard to realize your own life value." Zhou Xing said affectionately.

"It is our alma mater that has nurtured us and given us knowledge and strength. We will always remember our teachers' kindness and live up to the expectations of our alma mater." The students' loud responses echoed throughout the campus.

Ling Xue stood aside, tears in her eyes. She knew that at this moment, all her efforts were worth it. She and Zhou Xing had spent their entire lives creating a good growth environment for these children and laying a solid foundation for their future.

After the ceremony, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue walked silently on the path of the campus, recalling every detail of the past and feeling the ruthlessness and beauty of time.

"Ling Xue, we did it." Zhou Xing said with a smile.

"Yes, it has not been easy along the way." Ling Xue nodded slightly, her eyes full of emotion.

"Although we buried our feelings deep in our hearts, I feel that what we gained far outweighed what we lost."
