1320 [Educational Concept Dispute]

Regarding Li Ke's sudden resignation, there was a lot of discussion throughout the company.

"I heard that she was criticized by Mr. Xu at the meeting because she was not doing her job well."

"It's not that simple. She's not capable enough, 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 an unlucky look on his face. In my opinion, he must have flattered the donkey instead of trying to flatter him."

"That's no wonder. Li Ming is the best in flirting. There is no one in the company who hasn't been teased by her. She makes all the boys in our company circle around 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 was fired today."

"That makes sense! It's really ridiculous. She doesn't even look in the mirror to see if her qualities are comparable to those of our boss lady. She actually has the nerve to flirt with Mr. Xu. She really doesn't know how to have a good face."

"That's right, our Mr. Xu has a perfect wife like Sister Jia. How can we be so fond of her? She is really a toad jumping on the scale. 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.

However, Xiang Nan refused her flirtation and fired her resolutely. In their opinion, he was a gentleman and upright.



In the evening, Xiang Nan returned home.

"Husband, I have a way to ensure that my son enters Depu." When Gu Jia saw him, he stepped forward and smiled.

"What can I do?" Xiang Nan was stunned and asked.

"I'm going to ask Mrs. Wang, the president of the property owner 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 should he speak for us?"

In modern society, interactions between people are more based on the exchange of interests. They were strangers to Mrs. Wang’s family, so why should they ask others to help them so much?

"I will always find a way." Gu Jia said confidently.

"Honey, 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.

To him, sacrificing face, groveling, and flattering just to get into a kindergarten is really not worth it. 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 didn't agree with her approach. She just gave her son what she thought was good and didn't really consider 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. Xu Ziyan from the middle class and the children from the rich class are definitely not in harmony.

Just like in "Little Shed", when Mi Tao, a commoner, went to the middle-class Xia Huanhuan's house, her soul was shocked. She developed an inferiority complex and even resisted going to Xia's house.

Mi Tao is already very strong and sensible. Xu Ziyan might not have done better than her.

Therefore, in Xiang Nan's opinion, instead of humblely trying to please Mrs. Wang and forcing his son to get into Depu, it would be better to be more down-to-earth and enter a middle-class kindergarten.

In this case, there will not be much difference between the children, and they will avoid having an inferiority complex due to comparison.



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 Sishu?

The rats in the toilet ate feces and were dirty, smelly, thin and small. The rats in the warehouse ate rice and became fat, big and 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 has not been a 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.

And 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.



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 somewhat admired her for daring 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 don't want to help?" Xiang Nan saw this and went up to her.

"Have you seen Monet's "Water Lilies"?" Gu Jia asked dreamily.

"I've seen it before." Xiang Nan nodded. He once collected a pair, which was sold for US$140 million.

"You have only seen it in the museum, but today I saw it at Mrs. Wang's house." Gu Jia said, "I never thought 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.

When Xiang Nan heard this, he laughed.

Gu Jia didn't know something about this. There are many rich people who 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 the family, while she ate chaffy vegetables and suffered for ten years.

Pay 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 said 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.
