Chapter 21 Nan Jianlong Appears

That night, Zhang Xueer brushed her teeth several times.

…………

Nan Li's home.

Xia Junshan received the news that Lin Yuan could not help.

"Brother, I'm sorry, Manager Cui didn't agree. You have to find another way."

Xia Junshan was a little disappointed, but still replied: Thank you, junior brother, I am very grateful that you are willing to help me. I will treat you to a meal another day.

Lin Yuan also pointed out a way for him: Senior brother, you are a designer and you know many business tycoons. Your father is the vice president, so maybe he has some connections in this area.

Xia Junshan replied: Yes, I will go and ask later.

Not long after, Nan Li also returned home full of resentment.

Recalling her encounter with Tian Yulan in the mall, she became furious.

When I didn't enroll Huanhuan in extracurricular tutoring classes, he said, "It's already this late and you're still thinking about playing. I can't afford to worry about that."

Now when I am preparing to enroll Huanhuan in extracurricular tutoring classes, she says something like “She is just a little girl, there is no need to pressure her so much.”

With two different faces, Tian Yulan was allowed to say everything.

As soon as Nan Li entered the room, the first thing she did was to look at Xia Junshan anxiously and asked impatiently, "What did Zhong Yi say? Are you sure?"

Xia Junshan shook his head: "Zhong Yi told me that he asked Manager Cui of Zeshu, but Manager Cui did not agree."

Nan Li frowned and said:
"Your junior brother, you usually don't cause him any trouble because of Huanhuan's affairs. It's rare that you ask him to do something, but you're not willing to help."

"It's a favor to help, but it's my duty not to help." Xia Junshan sighed helplessly, "We are just ordinary alumni, and we have never worked together."

At least in Xia Junshan's opinion, Lin Yuan still appeared very enthusiastic.

If he didn't want to help me, there was no need to ask me out to meet him and even ask Huanhuan's class teacher to help.

"He didn't mean to help." Thinking of Lin Yuan's merciless sarcasm that day, Nan Li became even more annoyed and said angrily, "I'm not blaming you. When he was in charge of Huanhuan's class before, I advised you to get in touch with him more, but you refused. Now when you ask him to do something for you, he just ignores you."

Nan Li was very angry at this time. Seeing her like this, Xia Junshan quickly tried to persuade her: "Zhong Yi is not completely ignoring her. He also said that Huan Huan's foundation is a little weak, so she can stay in the advanced class for a while."

"No! He has to go to the intensive class! Yan Ziyou is almost ready to enter the gold medal class, so what's wrong with our Huanhuan going to the intensive class?"

If Nan Li had not met Tian Yulan today, she might not have been so determined.

Whenever she thought of Tian Yulan's fleeting contemptuous smile, she felt like she had a belly full of anger that she had no place to vent.

Nan Li, who has been strong all her life, would never allow herself to lose to Tian Yulan in educating her children.

Xia Junshan looked at his wife with a frown on her face and his daughter with a face full of expectation, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Then let's give Dad a call. Maybe he has connections in this area."

Nan Li hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

If she really had no other choice, she really wouldn't want to ask her father for help.

…………

"Hey, Grandpa!"

Hearing the clear bell-like voice of his granddaughter coming from the other end of the phone, Nan Jianlong's face suddenly broke into a bright smile, a warm feeling surged in his heart, and he was very happy.

"Hey, Huanhuan, little darling, you miss grandpa, right?"

Xia Huanhuan's voice was filled with joy and intimacy: "Of course I miss you. I miss grandpa every day."

"Then come and see grandpa?" Nan Jianlong said lovingly, his tone very gentle.

"But I don't have time." Xia Huanhuan's tone became lost, "Grandpa, I want to take the intensive class for number selection, can you help me?"

"You want to take the exam too?" Nan Jianlong was very surprised.

My grandson and granddaughter both want to go to tutoring classes.

What is so special about this number selection that makes the two children so eager to choose it?

Nan Li took the phone from Xia Huanhuan and said, "Dad, I really can't persuade Huanhuan about this matter."

Nan Jianlong asked curiously, "Is this number selection so powerful? Why does one have to break his head to get in?"

Nan Li explained: "Zheshu is the best in the industry, and even if you have money you can't get in."

Nan Jianlong nodded: "The child is ambitious, and adults can only support him. Talk to Huanhuan and tell her not to worry. Grandpa will find a way. Wait for news from Grandpa."

Nan Li said to Xia Huanhuan: "Hurry up and thank Grandpa."

Xia Huanhuan said in a crisp voice: "Thank you, Grandpa. Goodbye, Grandpa."

After hanging up the phone, Nan Jianlong took a deep breath, his eyes revealing complex emotions.

A few days ago, Cai Juying was thinking of asking Nan Jianlong to use his connections to find a connection because of Yan Ziyu's matter.

As the former vice president of the design institute, Nan Jianlong actually found someone.

This person used to be Nan Jianlong's subordinate. His name is Li Yue. He now works in the district and is a deputy district mayor.

However, if there was really a choice, he would rather not find one. This was because Li Yue and her then-husband were both in the design institute and were eligible for regular employment that year, but Nan Jianlong only gave them one position.

And let them decide for themselves who goes and who stays.

At that time, they both had a child who was still breastfeeding.

It seemed to give the couple autonomy, but in fact it was putting the newlyweds through the cruelest test of human nature.

In the end, Li Yue's lover stayed, and Li Yue left the design institute.

Later, their marriage began to crack because of this incident and eventually ended in divorce.

As the saying goes, things change over time.

More than ten years passed in a flash, and the designer who once could not get a permanent job has transformed himself into the deputy director of the PD area.

The human situation is truly full of unknowns and surprises.

If it was just about Yan Ziyu's matter, Nan Jianlong really didn't want to look for Li Yue again, but now Xia Huanhuan also wanted to study selection, and he couldn't bear to disappoint his precious granddaughter.

Therefore, after doing a lot of psychological preparation, Nan Jianlong decided to go find Li Yue.

On the second day, Nan Jianlong was led by an administrative staff member and slowly walked towards Li Yue's office.

The administrator knocked on the door gently and said respectfully:

"District Chief Li, your guest has arrived."

Nan Jianlong walked into the office and immediately his eyes fell on Li Yue who was sitting behind the desk. He smiled and said, "District Chief Li."

"Long time no see, old leader." Li Yue also stood up and shook hands with Nan Jianlong.

Li Yue was wearing a well-fitting uniform, but her graceful figure could not be concealed.

Her face is fair and delicate, and her eyes and eyebrows reveal the wisdom and composure of a mature woman.

Nan Jianlong couldn't help but sighed: "Long time no see, more than ten years have passed, and you haven't changed much."

If there is any difference, it is that I have become more intellectual.

"Thank you for the compliment, old leader. Come, sit down. Have some water." Li Yue poured a cup of hot water for Nan Jianlong.

"What are you doing here today?"

Li Yue sat down and got down to business.

"I really have no other choice, so I have to come to you with such a thick face. My grandson and granddaughter want to go to the selection, but the quota is full and they can't get in. The children's parents asked me to ask you if you can give them... a greeting."

Li Yue smiled and said, "I understand. Parents are kind-hearted."

Then he changed the subject, "But Zeshu is a private education and training institution. They have the final say on who they accept and who they don't. I can't control that."

Nan Jianlong had no choice but to bite the bullet and force a smile, "You're right, but you always have something to say."

Li Yue frowned slightly and spoke in an official tone: "If your child is unable to attend compulsory education, we will definitely help you solve the problem, but doesn't your request embarrass me?"

Nan Jianlong quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, it's not appropriate to ask directly, but you can ask and mention it by the way."

Li Yue shook her head and said, "Even if they give me a favor, you just said that the quota is full, which means that we have to take the quota of other children. You won't tolerate that, will you?"

After hearing this, Nan Jianlong understood that his former subordinates still hated him and were unwilling to help him.

"I still didn't think it through. Sorry to bother you, District Chief Li. I'm leaving now."

Seeing Nan Jianlong's serious face, he slowly stood up and left. Li Yue smiled and said, "You still have the same temper as before. Now that you're here, you're leaving so easily?"

Seeing that there was still hope, Nan Jianlong quickly stopped and turned to look at Li Yue expectantly.

Li Yue's eyes revealed a complex emotion, and he slowly said, "Old Dean, there is something that has been on my mind for a long time. I wanted to forget it, but since you came today, I couldn't help but ask you."

Nan Jianlong nodded slightly: "Go ahead."

He also understood in his heart what Li Yue wanted to ask.

Li Yue's voice was extremely low, as if carrying years of confusion: "Back then, you could have gotten me and my husband an extra place in the system, but you refused to do so. Instead, you left the difficult choice between the two to my husband and my husband. Why?"

Li Yue took a deep breath and continued, "I couldn't figure it out then, and I still can't figure it out now."

Nan Jianlong showed a trace of guilt on his face and opened his mouth, but didn't know how to start.

After a moment of silence, he spoke with difficulty: "I was wrong about what happened back then. I'll apologize to you. I'm sorry, District Chief Li."

Seeing Nan Jianlong slowly bending down and bowing deeply to apologize to him, Li Yue's face did not show the slightest bit of happiness.

She still couldn't let it go.

"I have an acquaintance in Zeshu who can help you get a spot for one child. It shouldn't be a problem. After all, if you have two children together, it will be difficult for them. Just tell me when you've made up your mind."

Nan Jianlong once threw the difficult problem to the couple, and now she also wants to hand the difficult problem of choosing between the two to Nan Jianlong. She also wants to see what choice Nan Jianlong will make in this situation.

 Thank you for the monthly ticket for going to work on New Year’s Day!

  Tian Yulan will not be allowed to taste any sweetness. Please rest assured!
