How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 68: Adults Are So Hypocritical

The three performance tests for Beijing Film Academy and Huaxi Opera have been successfully completed. The final results will be announced in mid-April. Next, the candidates will return to their hometowns and schools, waiting for the art test results while studying cultural courses.

Before leaving, Zhang Wen invited the students and their parents to a very famous dumpling restaurant as a farewell dinner. After all, the next meeting might have to wait until half a year.

More than 20 people gathered in the huge private room. In addition to dumplings of various cooking methods, there were also many home-cooked stir-fries on the table, which were simple and warm.

The students were talking about their experiences in the third round of exams, and the parents present were listening with great interest.

"There was a candidate in our examination room who left crying at the end."

"That's nothing. In our exam room, a girl fainted in the middle of the test. Luckily, the school doctor arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"I got lucky today. Can you guess what the topic was for my skit? Restaurant waiter. Luckily, I went to this special training class with Teacher Zhang and gave a wonderful performance. Otherwise, I would have failed the test."

"It just so happened that I had to play a salesman selling a bottle of water. If I hadn't sold milk tea during the special training course and asked some milk tea shop employees for advice, I probably wouldn't have been able to say even three lines.

"..."

After hearing this, Zhang Wen smiled but said nothing, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.

"Teacher Zhang, thank you so much for this art exam. If it weren't for your help, my child would never have performed so well in the exam." Zhou Lingyi's father said gratefully.

"That's right, the biggest gain from our trip to Beijing this time was meeting Teacher Zhang."

"Teacher Zhang not only has a high level of teaching, but also has a humane approach. If I were not so old, I would also sign up for Teacher Zhang's training class."

The parents offered their praise generously.

As parents, they can see how good Teacher Zhang is to the children.

What's more, since they joined the special training class, the children have been talking about how great Teacher Zhang is every day. How can they not respect such a capable and caring teacher?
"Teacher Zhang, when you have time to go to Jincheng, I will cover all the food, drinks and entertainment. I guarantee you will have a great time and enjoy yourself."

"Hangzhou also has many fun places. If you go to Hangzhou, remember to call me!"

"..."

While listening to the other parents' flattery, Gao Yue secretly glanced at the man sitting diagonally opposite her.

In the face of compliments, the other party always had a faint smile on his face, which surprised her a little. She thought that the other party would brag a lot and then belittle other colleagues as worthless.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, what other parents say is not really flattery.

In terms of teaching ability, the nine students have indeed improved in their performance, and the entire class has entered the final round of the art examination. This is quite a sensation in the national art examination circle.

In terms of character, during the students' special training, the other party often took everyone to eat at famous restaurants in Beijing. Even after the special training class, he would check the students' status and give them suggestions. He even held a farewell banquet for the students and their parents after the art exam. There is no other person like him in the whole of Beijing.

So, the other parents were just telling the truth, it’s just that this man is such an excellent teacher.

Thinking about how she often called the other party a liar and deliberately found fault in the company, she felt a sense of guilt involuntarily.

We will be colleagues in the future, so we must get along well with each other.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhang Wen stood up with the glass in his hand.

"It's getting late. You all have to catch the bus back home tomorrow. Let's stop here for today. I wish all the students a bright future and that you will pass the three exams. We will meet here again in six months."

As soon as the words fell, the room instantly became quiet. The students looked reluctant, and several girls even had red eyes, as if they were about to cry.

"What's the matter? Raise your glass!" Zhang Wen shook the glass in his hand.

"Raise your glass, raise your glass!"

"Yes, see you in half a year."

"There will be more opportunities in the future."

The parents raised their cups one after another, and driven by the atmosphere, the students slowly picked up their cups. They knew that after clinking the cups, they would have to separate.

After leaving the dumpling restaurant, Zhang Wen said goodbye to the students and parents one by one.

"Teacher, thank you." After Zhou An finished speaking, he suddenly opened his arms and gave a hug.

If it weren't for Teacher Zhang persuading his father to change his mind, his director exam wouldn't have gone so smoothly, so this hug was full of gratitude.

"Nothing. Remember to review your academic subjects well when you get home. Don't let your standards drop just because the arts exam is over." Zhang Wen patted him on the back, his words a reminder and a show of concern. With more than three months left until the Gaokao, without his regular check-ups, there was no telling if the negative personality traits would reappear.

"Okay, I understand." Zhou An let go of the teacher and nodded seriously.

After Zhou An left in the car, Zhou Lingyi also came over and gave him a hug without saying a word.

"Teacher, see you in half a year. Don't forget us."

"Don't worry, you are all my close students, how could I forget?" Zhang Wen said with a smile.

The other students began to line up silently, but this time they didn't burn incense, but hugged each other.

When the parents around saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel moved.

It can be seen that although the children have not spent a long time with Teacher Zhang, they have already established a deep relationship.

People left one after another, and soon only the last family was left.

"Teacher, get in the car. My aunt and I will take you back." Qiao Shuxin said with a smile. The other students had left, and she felt that the teacher only belonged to her now.

"No need, this place is very close to the training center, I can just walk back." Zhang Wen said after hearing this.

Today's meal cost several thousand yuan, and he wanted to cry alone for a while.

"Get in the car. It's not like you've been on one before. Why be so polite?" Gao Yue wanted to speak in a friendly manner, but the tone of his words changed as soon as they came out of his mouth.

Qiao Shuxin, who was standing aside, frowned slightly and thought: Auntie, auntie, can you please stop being so arrogant?
"Who's being polite to you? You just ate too much, so you can't take a walk." Zhang Wen said while waving at Qiao Shuxin.

"Goodbye."

After saying that, he walked along the road towards the training center.

Gao Yue looked at the man's back, opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing, only a hint of regret flashed in her eyes.

Why couldn't I speak properly just now?

"Auntie!"

Qiao Shuxin walked to her aunt's side and said dissatisfiedly, "Can't you be a little gentler to Teacher Zhang? You won't be able to win Teacher Zhang like this."

what?
Gao Yue was startled. After looking away from him, she looked at her niece beside her. With a frown on her face, she asked, "Who said I wanted to pursue him? Didn't I clarify this with you a long time ago?"

Qiao Shuxin smiled and said, "Auntie, you're a manager, after all. Clarifying is just trying to cover up one's own faults. Look at those celebrities who posted clarifications on Weibo. How many of them ended up getting slapped in the face?"

The corner of Gao Yue's mouth twitched. She felt that it was her face that was hit, but how could she admit it?

"Xinxin, why don't you even believe what your aunt says? When have I ever lied to you?"

"You said Teacher Zhang was a liar before. What's going on now? Aren't you rushing to attend the farewell party tonight?" Qiao Shuxin looked helpless, feeling that she was worried about her aunt's affairs.

Gao Yue glared and retorted, "Who, who rushed here? It was your parents who didn't have time and were worried that you were unsafe alone, so they asked me to come."

Qiao Shuxin sighed softly, "Auntie, I saw it all. Just now, while we were eating, you kept secretly looking at Teacher Zhang. Several times, you used your chopsticks to put food into your mouth even though you clearly didn't pick up anything. I'm not a child anymore, how could I have noticed such a thing?"

"you……"

Gao Yue blushed, "Why are you looking at me if you don't want to eat?"

Qiao Shuxin spread her hands and said, "I look at everyone, but I noticed that you were the only one looking at Teacher Zhang secretly. If you didn't have something to hide, why didn't you look openly?"

Gao Yue was speechless for a moment, and finally put on the air of an elder and scolded: "Why do you care about me looking at people? Hurry up and get in the car, I'll take you home."

After saying that, he walked towards the car parked nearby.

"Aunt, be honest, you won't get love if you have a crush on someone secretly." Qiao Shuxin said from behind.

"Shut up!"

"Oh, you adults are so hypocritical!"
