I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 65: Teaching in Sichuan Province

Besides, Fang Qingye drove out of the county town, got on the Shenhai Expressway, and headed southeast. He played music in the car and talked and laughed with Bai Ou, so he didn't feel lonely.

After driving for nearly two hours and preparing to enter the Changjia Expressway, Bai Ou said, "Ye Zi, why don't you take a break and let me drive?"

"you?"

"My family has a car, and I often drive it when I come back." Bai Ou said.

"Okay, let's go to the service area up ahead and let you drive."

After more than an hour's journey, they got on the ring road and finally got off the highway to Shenzhuan Highway. They parked on the side of the road, found a relatively clean restaurant to have lunch, and continued on their journey.

This time Fang Qingye drove again, and it took more than 40 minutes to reach the destination, the Songjiang Campus of China University of Political Science and Law.

Today is the first day of school. The school is very lively, with students and parents everywhere. There are all kinds of vehicles, from Audi and BMW to ordinary Lavida and Jetta. There are even more people walking with trolley suitcases. There are even parents who use snakeskin bags to carry their children's luggage.

Only in this place can you see families from different classes living in harmony.

Following Bai Ou's instructions, Fang Qingye drove the car to the female dormitory building where the graduate students lived. He got out of the car and helped Bai Ou take the luggage upstairs. Bai Ou was holding a large cardboard box containing orchids.

"White lotus root!"

A girl with long hair called her.

When Bai Ou saw that it was Quan Shasha from the same dormitory, he greeted her with a smile.

Fang Qingye helped Baiou carry her suitcase to the fourth floor where she lived, put her luggage away and was about to leave.

"Ye Zi, would you like to sit for a while?" Bai Ou called.

"No need. The car parked downstairs must be moved away quickly, otherwise the security will come." Fang Qingye said.

"Well, be careful on the road."

"Okay, see you back!"

After Fang Qingye finished speaking, he smiled at Quan Shasha next to him, turned around and left the dormitory.

Through the window, Quan Shasha saw Fang Qingye driving away in a Buick Regal, so she asked Bai Ou, "That boy is quite handsome. What's his name? Is he your boyfriend?"

"It's my childhood friend, Fang Qingye."

"Childhood friend? That means childhood sweetheart? It's almost the same as boyfriend. Which school are you from? Do you have a job?" Quan Shasha asked.

"I graduated from Shencai University and now work in a bank in our county." Bai Ou answered truthfully.

"Shencai is doing well, so why are you going back to the county? Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in Shencheng?" Quan Shasha was a little puzzled.

"Everyone has their own aspirations."

"I don't want a boyfriend like that. Bai Ou, you must not go back. Even if you don't stay in Shencheng, you should at least go to Huijing, right?"

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Bai Ou said with a smile.

Fang Qingye drove out of the school and went straight to the venue of the gathering - the main campus of Shencai on Guoding Road.

It took a full hour and a half to drive to the destination, and Fang Qingye stayed at the nearby Howard Johnson Hotel, a five-star hotel.

Since you live here, you should live better. I have enough money now.

It was hot outside and Fang Qingye didn't want to go out. Besides, he had lived in this city for nearly twenty years before his rebirth and was already familiar with everything here.

The next day at 11: am, Fang Qingye went downstairs. He didn't drive—the dinner venue wasn't far away. Following Liu Shuai's text message, he went to a private room on the second floor of the Jinding Restaurant.

The private room was already full of people, both men and women. Fang Qingye took a quick look and saw that there were about a dozen of them, about one-third of the total number of people in the class.

Liu Shuai was chatting with his classmates. He looked very smart in his T-shirt, casual pants, and short haircut. He had only graduated a year ago, but his fashion sense had already improved a lot.

We are classmates and haven't seen each other for more than a year. We still feel close when we meet each other. We talk about our current situation and some funny things that happened in school. It's very harmonious.

Fang Qingye noticed that the students who came seemed to be doing quite well.

Two of them were admitted to graduate school at the same university, two started their own companies, and one, like Liu Shuai, passed the civil service exam but was at the municipal level. More people, like Fang Qingye, entered the banking sector, and some stayed in Shanghai investment banks.

Liu Shuai had arrived a long time ago and was greeting his classmates.

Seeing Fang Qingye come in, someone immediately greeted him: "Fang Qingye, you look very energetic. It seems that you are living well in your hometown."

"It's okay. In a small county, we just live a carefree life. It's not like you in big cities where you have hope." Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"What hope is there? I'm destined to work all my life. With the high housing prices in Shanghai, when will I be able to afford a house?" Someone immediately sighed.

You can’t afford it now? You won’t be able to afford it in the future!

Fang Qingye smiled secretly, but he would not say such hurtful words. He just smiled and said that we had just graduated and there was a chance for everything.

When most people arrived, Liu Shuai asked everyone to sit down. The table was quite large and had an automatic rotating mechanism. Since they were all classmates, there was no need to be so particular. There was no distinction between the top and bottom seats. Those who were close to each other just gathered together and talked while eating. It was very lively.

Fang Qingye said that he drove here and had to drive back to his hometown in the afternoon to go to work the next morning, so he couldn't drink alcohol, but just some drinks would be fine, and no one forced him.

Just at this moment, the door of the private room opened and a man and a woman hurried in.

"Sorry, I'm late." The handsome boy apologized hurriedly.

"Li Ye? What's going on? How can you be late when you live in school?" someone asked.

"That's right, three glasses of wine as a penalty!" someone immediately agreed.

"Accept the punishment, accept the punishment."

Someone brought them two chairs, and the waiter brought two sets of tableware, and the two sat down.

Fang Qing also recognized it.

This boy named Li Ye and the girl following behind him are a couple, and both of them were admitted to the graduate school of our school.

The girl's name is Zhang Dongwen, she is from Shandong Province, she is a bit introverted and doesn't talk much, Li Ye is from Zhejiang Province, she is usually quite lively.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Ye said to everyone, "I can't drink too much today, because Dong Wen and I have to catch a plane to Sichuan Province soon."

"What are you going to Sichuan Province for?" Liu Shuai asked curiously.

"Teaching." Li Ye said.

"Ah? Teaching? Aren't you guys studying for a master's degree?"

"That's right, why did you suddenly think of teaching?" Everyone immediately asked at once.

"I heard from classmates a while ago that you were going to Sichuan Province to teach. I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true." Liu Shuai finally said, "Exactly. Why?"

"Didn't Sichuan Province have a major earthquake this year? During the summer vacation, Dongwen and I went to Sichuan Province to volunteer. I'm afraid you didn't know how tragic it was when you went there."

Li Ye sighed and continued, "Actually, we couldn't help much in the past. Later, I heard that basic education in western Sichuan was very poor and there was a shortage of teachers. Dongwen and I discussed it and decided to teach there for a year. We talked to our advisor about it, and he was very supportive of our idea. We completed the procedures for taking a leave of absence a few days ago."

"Where exactly are we going?"

"A dam state."
