Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 79: Really Makes Dad Proud
Friday, morning.

All the students in the senior year lined up on the playground and were holding a "College Entrance Examination Oath-Taking Ceremony".

In front of each class, slogans of oath-taking were raised.

"The college entrance examination is not a long journey, but a happy one in June after the exam."

"Youth is like fire. Surpass yourself, go all out, and win the college entrance examination."

"Today, we should study hard and practice diligently, so that we can get our names on the list of successful candidates tomorrow."

……

Representatives of outstanding students, teachers from various teaching and research groups, and even teachers from the logistics support department all took the stage and delivered powerful speeches.

The students lined up in the audience and listened, but many of their thoughts had already flown back to the classroom.

Because at this moment, a "College Entrance Examination Parent Communication Meeting" is being held simultaneously in each classroom.

The results and rankings of last week’s mock exam will also be made public to all parents.

Some children who have concealed their true grades from their parents are particularly worried at this moment...

At this moment, the boy who was giving a speech on the rostrum was the president of the Student Union of Tiancheng No. 1 Middle School and was also one of the top ten students in the senior year department.

He was preaching in a high-pitched and soulful voice an inspiring article titled "The charge has been sounded, if not now, when?"

It is full of emotion, heartfelt, touching and tear-jerking...

It has a bit of the devilish temperament of an elementary school student expressing his love to a general.

This young student union president must have been an ancient Greek master of motivational speeches in his previous life.

Many students were moved, and their young eyes showed a bit more determination.

Xu Chen stood at the end of the line, yawning repeatedly.

At the end of the oath-taking ceremony, also under the leadership of the student union president, all the students raised their right arms together and recited the "College Entrance Examination Sprint Oath."

During the sonorous and inspiring oath, some students were visibly getting excited.

Tears welled up in his eyes, his voice was hoarse, veins popped out on his forehead, and his saliva soaked the back of the head of the student in the front row...

Xu Chen remained expressionless.

Perhaps because of his mental age, he was unable to fit in with this noisy scene that was almost like "brainwashing".

He hummed twice along with the oath, just wanting to escape from this grand group performance as quickly as possible.

As expected, as I get older, I don’t get carried away so easily.

……

After the oath-taking ceremony, the enthusiastic young men and women marched towards the teaching building in a mighty procession, their steps becoming steadier and more fearless.

Sure enough, the oath-taking ceremony had a significant effect.

But I don’t know if this passion and self-touching feeling at this moment can last until this afternoon.

Having lived two lives and experienced many things in the world, Xu Chen knows that all those who break through the darkness and usher in the dawn are not just hot-blooded, but have persevered with endurance...

The parent-teacher meetings for each class have also ended, and many parents are still surrounding the class teachers and having lively conversations.

Xu Chen, Chen Dahai and others returned to the classroom together.

From a distance, I saw my father Xu Zhiquan, surrounded by several other parents.

Xu Zhiquan stood in the middle, his hair combed back shiny, smiling and looking very happy.

"Your son has made such great progress. How do you usually discipline him?"

"Yes, I'm now ranked third in the class. This improvement is a bit too fast. Brother Xu, can you please share your success experience with me?"

"Can Xu Chen give some guidance to my Huang Tao?"

"I'll ask our kids to communicate more with your Xu Chen!"...

Old Xu was smiling cheerfully, handing out cigarettes to several male parents and saying some "seemingly humble" words.

"I usually don't care about my son. I guess it was just a coincidence that he did so well in the exam."

"Xu Chen doesn't study hard during the week, but he goes to the Internet cafe on weekends. He loves surfing the Internet! He's really good at playing games!"

"I don't have any tips for discipline, just give enough money and forget it! The main thing is that the child has good understanding..." "What?! Child marriage, this is inappropriate..."

Xu Zhiquan saw Xu Chen from afar, looked up and waved with a smile.

Xu Chen was speechless and really didn't want to enter that "discussion circle".

Xu Zhiquan boasted: "That's my son!"

Several parents turned their heads to look:

"Student Xu Chen is really a handsome guy!"

"Yes, not only is her academic performance good, but her appearance is also really good!"

"Tall and handsome, he must be about 1.8 meters tall!"

……

Xu Chen looked embarrassed and walked up to him and called out "Dad".

She was also very well behaved and called "Uncle and Auntie"...

Xu Zhiquan laughed and reached out to touch Xu Chen's head.

The parents around changed their focus and surrounded Xu Chen to ask him all kinds of questions, most of which were about how his children's grades had improved so quickly and whether they should help their children more.

Xu Chen once again demonstrated his professional strengths in supporting roles and nonsense literature, being able to catch every word, but without any actual output.

This made several parents happy and they liked Xu Chen even more.

The parents of two girls in the same class seemed to have "picked up on their future son-in-law" and wanted to pull Xu Zhiquan to "talk about some serious matters."

Xu Chen was so scared that he quickly found an excuse and pulled his father out of the crowd.

When Xu Zhiquan saw his class teacher Zhang Liqun, he walked over and stuffed another pack of cigarettes into his hand, saying some words of thanks.

Xu Chen watched from afar and shook his head helplessly.

……

Campus, next to the flower bed.

The father and son sat on the steps, each eating a popsicle.

"Son, you really make dad proud!"

"I never thought that our Xu family would really have a college student!"

Xu Zhiquan spoke in a low voice, his tone full of emotion and pride.

"Dad, you're awesome too! You're going to go from being the richest man in the village to the richest man in the town!"

Xu Zhiquan laughed:

“It’s all thanks to my son!
If the electric car factory can really be established, Dad will become the richest man in Tiancheng City!"

Xu Chen: "Dad, this really has a chance!"

Xu Zhiquan laughed and stretched out his big hand to rub Xu Chen's head.

"I have to go to the provincial capital this afternoon. If I'm quick, I'll be back on Sunday."

Xu Chen: "What's the matter?"

Xu Zhiquan: "The province organized a seminar for nursery companies across the province, and I guess they'll need some sponsorship or something...

It just so happens that Dad can expand his connections and maybe expand his business beyond Tiancheng in the future."

Xu Chen: "Dad, how did you get there?"

Xu Zhiquan: "Li Rui will drive me to the station later. It will take me more than an hour to take the train.

When I arrived in the provincial capital, they arranged someone to pick me up at the station!
Li Rui will be back after sending me off. If you want to go home, tell him."

Xu Chen: "I'd better go home tomorrow. It's finally Friday night. I'm going to go online!"

Xu Zhiquan: "Great! Combine work and rest!
My son is really amazing. He didn't seem to work very hard, but he got third in the class!
Your class teacher, Mr. Zhang, told me that if you work hard during this period before the college entrance examination, you will definitely be able to get into a 985 prestigious university!"

Xu Chen frowned.

Class teacher Zhang Liqun is "tricking" students into getting into prestigious schools or something. He wouldn't have started planning this now, right?
