A foreign city, dear you

The campus is both quiet and full of vitality.

Everything is so familiar and yet so far away.

Once upon a time, I was also a gardener on a beautiful campus; once upon a time, I was also giving lectures on the podium, and I was very eloquent...

The sound of someone's footsteps came from the end of the corridor.

Ye Lian looked up and saw a teacher walking towards her.

I wonder if he is the vice principal I am looking for?

When the teacher came closer, Ye Lian asked politely: "Hello, is the vice principal here today?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Ye Lian murmured in her heart, wondering if she had said the wrong thing?

First of all, is it inappropriate to add the word "no" before "principal"? But if it is not added, it seems that the reference is unclear.

Secondly, I just saw that there are two desks in the vice-principal's office, so there should be two vice-principals. Which vice-principal are you looking for? If you ask such a unclear question, it will be difficult for others to answer it.

Sure enough, the teacher asked: "Which vice principal are you looking for?"

Ye Lian was in a dilemma, so she had to tell the truth: "I don't know, I just want to check the results of my child's transfer exam."

"Check the results of the transfer exam?" The teacher repeated Ye Lian's words, and then said, "Then you go to Vice Principal Yan."

"Oh, okay, thank you." Ye Lian thanked her and then asked, "Is Vice Principal Yan here?"

"Yes, she went out just now." After the teacher said that, he walked into the vice principal's office.

It turns out he is also a vice-principal.

Ye Lian was waiting for Vice Principal Yan outside the door. As long as people are there, it will be easy to handle. Ye Lian is not afraid of waiting.

After waiting for another ten minutes, a female teacher walked over from one end of the corridor.

He is of middle age, well-dressed, elegant, and looks very leadership-like.

The female teacher came to the door of the office. Ye Lian was not sure whether she was Vice Principal Yan, so she just smiled at her.

The female teacher went straight into the vice principal's office and sat down behind a desk near the door.

Needless to say, she is Vice Principal Yan.

Ye Lian followed him into the office and greeted, "Hello, Principal Yan!"

Ye Lian still left out the word "vice" in a secular way.

Vice Principal Yan raised his head: "Are you——?"

Ye Lian quickly explained: "It's like this. My child's name is Cao Lanshan. He took your school's transfer exam a few days ago. I want to check the results."

Vice Principal Yan was puzzled: "Check the results? Didn't you get notified by phone?"

"I just want to check the score on the paper." Ye Lian accompanied her carefully.

"Why? Don't you believe in our school?" Vice Principal Yan's eyes were filled with majesty.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lian hurriedly denied: "No, no, I just feel that the child's score this time is too different from usual. I want to see what's going on. Is the question too difficult?"

"What's your child's name?" Vice Principal Yan asked.

Ye Lian then said Lanshan's name again.

"Cao Lanshan?" Vice Principal Yan repeated Lanshan's name, and then asked, "Are his grades usually good?"

"They are basically the top three in the class." Ye Lian tried to keep her tone calm.

"What's the score for this test?" Vice Principal Yan asked again.

Ye Lian explained Lanshan's total score and scores in each subject.

Vice Principal Yan took out a list, which looked like a report card. He ran his eyes over the list and confirmed, "The results are correct. Math is 73. The other two subjects are pretty good."

Ye Lian nodded slightly, thinking that these math scores might not be worth mentioning in the eyes of Vice Principal Yan.

Vice Principal Yan put away the report card and said with certainty: "These results have been reviewed and will not be wrong."

"I still want to take a look and understand the actual test situation of my child." Ye Lian didn't want to give up.

Vice Principal Yan was busy with the matter at hand and said without looking at Ye Lian: "The transfer examination is an internal matter of the school, and the test papers will not be checked by others casually."

"Can't I just take a look? I'll just take a look at the math test paper." Ye Lian begged.

Vice Principal Yan shook his head: "No, if possible, everyone would come to investigate. Then it would be difficult for the school to carry out its work."

Vice Principal Yan's tone sounded like there was no room for discussion.

Ye Lian didn't know what to do.

Can't check? Then we can only accept this score and give up completely on joining the class?

No, I don't want to give up.

Ye Lian stood beside Vice Principal Yan's desk, silently, neither speaking nor leaving.

Vice Principal Yan was busy for a while and then looked up at Ye Lian: "Are you so confident in your child? Do you think his real math score will definitely be higher than 73?"

Ye Lian nodded: "I know his grades well. His math scores have never been lower than ninety-five points. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the confidence to let him join your school."

"Are the results stable?" Vice Principal Yan asked.

"Yes." Ye Lian thought for a moment and boldly thought of something to impress Vice Principal Yan: "Principal Yan, please let me take a look. If it is really seventy-three, then I will give up; but if it happens The result is a relatively excellent score, so you don’t have to lose an outstanding child. Doesn’t your school always pay attention to the quality of students?”

Vice Principal Yan pondered for a moment, then reached into a data cabinet by the wall, rummaged through a pile of materials for a while, and then pulled out a stack of mathematics papers.

Ye Lian knew that Vice Principal Yan agreed to show her the test paper. She was both happy and worried at the same time. I am happy that my trip was not in vain; I am worried that if I find out that the score on the test paper is indeed "73", it will be a real slap in the face, and there will be no hope of joining the class.

Vice Principal Yan flipped through the test papers one by one and took out one after a while. Ye Lian caught sight of the words "Cao Lanshan" at a glance, and the score on the test paper was a bright red "93"!

Ye Lian felt ecstatic in her heart, but it did not show on her face.

"Strange," Vice Principal Yan said to himself, "Did I get the wrong score?"

"I think I accidentally registered the wrong thing." Ye Lian agreed.

Vice Principal Yan still didn't believe it: "It shouldn't be."

It stands to reason that such an obvious mistake would be impossible, especially in Xiangyang Primary School, which has a strict school ethos.

Ye Lian's mood is complicated. Of course she hoped that this "73" score would be a "beautiful" mistake, but when this mistake actually appeared in front of her, she didn't believe it.

Ye Lian was glad in her heart that she came to check the scores, otherwise the real scores would have been lost, which would not only prevent Lanshan from joining the class, but also undermine the child's self-confidence for no reason.
