Chapter 1318 1320 [Dispute over educational concepts]
There was a lot of discussion throughout the company about Li Ke''s sudden resignation.
“I heard that it was because she was not doing her job well and was criticized by Mr. Xu at the meeting.”
"It''s not that simple. She is not capable, and it''s not just a day or two. Why was she fired today?"
“Yesterday, I saw Li Ke enter Mr. Xu’s office with a smile, but when he came out, he had a gloomy look on his face. In my opinion, he must have flattered the donkey instead of trying to flatter him.”
“It’s no wonder. Li Ming is not good at it, she is the number one in flirting. There is no one in the company who hasn’t been flirted by her, and all the boys in our company are attracted by her. It’s a perfect green tea.
In my opinion, she must have flirted with Mr. Xu yesterday, but Mr. Xu found out, so she resigned today. "
"That makes sense! It''s really ridiculous. She doesn''t even look in the mirror to see how her own quality compares to our boss''s wife. She actually has the nerve to flirt with Mr. Xu. She really doesn''t know how to have a good face."
"Yes, we have Mr. Xu, a perfect wife, how can we like her? She is really a toad jumping on the scale, and she doesn''t know how much she weighs."
?Colleagues talked about it one after another, and they all felt that Li Ke brought the blame and humiliation on himself.
Xiang Nan refused her flirtation and dismissed her resolutely. In their opinion, he is a gentleman and upright.
…
At night, Xiang Nan returned home.
"Husband, I have a way to ensure that my son can enter Depu." Gu Jia stepped forward and smiled as soon as he saw him.
"What can we do?" Xiang Nan was stunned and asked.
"I''m going to ask Mrs. Wang, the president of the property committee of our building, to write a letter of recommendation to our son." Gu Jia explained, "I found out that Mrs. Wang''s husband is the school director of Depu. He must be Able to speak."
"Since Mrs. Wang''s husband is the school director, he must be able to speak." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "The question is, why do they want to speak for us?"
In modern society, interactions between people are more based on the exchange of interests. They were strangers to Mrs. Wang and her family, so why did they ask them to help so much?
"I will always find a way." Gu Jia said confidently.
“Wife, I think what you are doing is nothing more than coming to your door to please me and trying to flatter me.” Xiang Nan thought for a moment and said, “Do you really want to do this?”
"Husband, for the sake of my son and our family, what does it matter if I suffer a little injustice?" Gu Jia said without caring.
“I just don’t want you to feel too wronged.” Xiang Nan advised.
??Sacrificing face, being groveling, and flattering just to get into a kindergarten is really not worth it in his opinion. After all, there is more than one kindergarten in Hujiang, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t go to Depu.
"It doesn''t matter, this is my practice as a mother." Gu Jia waved her hand and smiled.
Xiang Nan couldn''t help but sigh when he saw this.
?Honestly speaking, Gu Jia is definitely a good mother.
?However, Xiang Nan doesn''t agree with her approach. She just gave her son what she thought was good, without really considering his needs.
To be honest, their family''s assets are only about 30 million. In the international metropolis of Shanghai, they can only be regarded as middle class and cannot reach the level of rich people.
Even if Xu Ziyan enters Depu, there will still be a gap between him and those children from wealthy families.
There will also be comparisons among children. The middle-class Xu Ziyan and the children of the wealthy class definitely don''t fit in with each other.
Just like in "Little Shede", when Mi Tao, a commoner, went to the middle-class Xia Huanhuan''s house, her soul was shocked. She developed an inferiority complex for a time, and even resisted going to Xia''s house.
Metao is already very strong and sensible. Xu Ziyan might not have done better than her.
?Hence, from Xiang Nan''s point of view, instead of humblely trying to please Mrs. Wang, he forced his son to squeeze into Depu. It would be better to be more down-to-earth and enter a middle-class kindergarten.
In this case, the gap between children will not be big, and the inferiority complex caused by comparison will be avoided.
…
Xiang Nan then told Gu Jia his thoughts. "Husband, we work hard to make money just to give our son a better education." Gu Jia said, "Haven''t you heard the story of Li Simoshu?
The rats in the toilet eat feces and are dirty, smelly, thin and small. The rats in the warehouse ate rice and became fat and big, with shiny fur.
So the environment can determine a person''s life. We Ziyan have enjoyed the best education since childhood, so that it will be easier for us to become talented when we grow up. "
Xiang Nan sighed.
I know that in the debate over education concepts, the public has always said that the public has its own reasons, and the mother-in-law has said that the mother-in-law has its own reasons. There is no final conclusion yet.
??If he and Gu Jia continue to argue, there will be no result. It is just a matter of who compromises.
?Gu Jia is used to being strong and will not compromise easily.
He didn’t want to argue with her now, so he nodded, “Okay, I’ll listen to you first.”
“Thank you, husband.” Gu Jia suddenly laughed.
…
The next day, after get off work in the afternoon, Xiang Nan continued to design fireworks at home.
??Gu Jia baked a low-sugar and low-fat cake and prepared to go upstairs to make friends with Mrs. Wang.
Seeing her using such a cake as a stepping stone, Xiang Nan admired her for her courage to think and act.
??If he were Mrs. Wang, he wouldn''t even see her.
?About fifteen minutes later, Gu Jia came back with empty hands and a look of despair.
"Honey, what''s wrong? They won''t help?" Xiang Nan saw this and went up to her.
"Have you seen Monet''s "Water Lilies"?" Gu Jia asked foolishly.
"I''ve seen it before." Xiang Nan nodded. He once collected a pair of them, which were sold for US$140 million.
"You have only seen it in the museum, but I saw it at Mrs. Wang''s house today." Gu Jia said, "I really didn''t expect that someone could really afford it."
"Real or fake?!" Xiang Nan pretended to be shocked when he heard this. In fact, he knew that the "Water Lilies" in Mrs. Wang''s house was fake.
"Of course it''s true. Would rich people buy fake paintings?" Gu Jia nodded.
Xiang Nan laughed when he heard this.
?Gu Jia didn''t know something about this. Many rich people buy fake goods to show off their appearance.
“Why are you laughing?” Gu Jia asked in confusion.
"Honey, haven''t you studied Maupassant''s "The Necklace" in middle school?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Mathilde borrowed a diamond necklace from a rich friend to attend a wealthy party, but accidentally lost it. She had to borrow money to buy a diamond necklace and return it to others, while she ate chaff and endured ten years of hardship before paying off the debt. Finally, I learned that the missing diamond necklace was actually made of glass.
??This is the original text of a high school English text. As a student at Hujiang International Studies University, it is impossible for Gu Jia not to know this story.
"Probably not." Gu Jia was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Isn''t she afraid of being exposed?"
"Even if you knew it was fake, would you dare to expose it?" Xiang Nan said with a slight smile.
?Gu Jia was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
?Even if she knew it was false, she would never dare to tell anyone.
"That''s it. If a rich person buys a fake, you say it''s real. In that case, why should people buy the real thing?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
