Chapter 156: Chapter 156 The Shock of the Crowd_1

When he heard it was Song Yunuan’s voice, he asked excitedly, "Is that you, Little Nuan? Where are you now?"

Song Yunuan replied in her unhurried way, "I’m at the guesthouse in the provincial capital’s education compound."

Old Cui’s heart skipped a beat, to think she could stay in the education compound?

He asked anxiously, "When are you guys coming back?"

He didn’t dare to ask about that matter.

Truth be told, he wasn’t all that familiar with the young girl.

Yet he had asked her to inquire about such a significant matter.

He couldn’t believe it was real.

Song Yunuan said, "Everything here is settled, the goods have all been sent back, and the tickets are purchased."

"Then... the favor I asked you to inquire about... how did it go?"

"Oh, I asked about it."

My goodness, this girl’s way of speaking could drive him crazy.

"What did Old Mr. Hu... what did he say?"

But at that moment, his heart sank to rock bottom.

After all, Song Yunuan was just a seventeen-year-old girl.

If there had been hope when she asked Old Mr. Hu, she would surely have called to tell him straight away.

And she would be excited and thrilled, not bland and calm like now.

Song Yunuan still spoke at her own leisurely pace, "Old Mr. Hu said to leave the materials with him and later have us from Nanshan County Town come up with a specific plan. Once it’s ready, we can go to the provincial capital to see him. Oh, by the way, Grandpa Hu has been rehired there, and he’s in charge of this particular area."

Old Cui’s heart was pounding as his hand trembled, and the phone receiver clattered onto the desk.

The next moment, he quickly picked up the receiver and held it tightly, "Little Nuan, I didn’t hear you clearly just now, can you repeat that for me?"

"It’s just that Old Mr. Hu is now in charge of this, and he’s also looking to establish a vocational school for staff and cadre in the surrounding cities. I told him Nanshan County Town is suitable in terms of both geographical and cultural environments.

I also mentioned that Principal Cui had educated people and taught school without a salary when he first established this night school, being the only teacher here. But Principal Cui managed to keep it running by himself for two years."

On the other end, Principal Cui suddenly felt warmth at the corners of his eyes, as tears threatened to fall.

His voice choked up, "Little Nuan... thank you!"

"What’s there to thank me for? I’m a part of Nanshan County Town. It’s only right to do something for my hometown. However, there are some things that aren’t convenient to discuss over the phone. We’ll talk about the plan in detail when I return," she said.

On the other end, Principal Cui quickly responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll go and report to the superiors right now."

At this moment, his mind was racing, "Little Nuan, when will you arrive at Nanshan County Town?"

"I’ll be on the train that gets in at 11:00 AM tomorrow morning."

"Good, I’ll come to pick you up then."

Song Yunuan immediately declined, "No need, my dad just got a shipment of goods at the shoe factory, and we’ll need to find a truck to haul it. Once we’re done, I’ll come to the night school to find you."

"How can I not? I’ll apply for a truck to haul the goods, I’m definitely coming to pick you up, we’ve agreed on that."

A truck was something he could get hold of even without applying.

His cousin worked in the transportation company in the county town.

Song Yunuan put down the phone with a smile.

It was easy dealing with a smart person.

There, Principal Cui rushed to the education bureau without stopping, and Old Shang from the bureau was so shocked that his large tea mug fell onto the office desk.

After a flurry of commotion, his trembling voice asked, "Principal Cui, this... this... how come I didn’t know about this?"

Principal Cui, flushed with excitement, slapped his thigh, "At the time, how could I dare to tell you? I was just trying my luck, asking Little Nuan to inquire with Old Mr. Hu. Who could have expected Old Mr. Hu to give Little Nuan such face."

Old Shang still felt like he was dreaming, he stretched out his hand and pinched his arm.

Old Cui cried out in pain, "Boss, why are you pinching me?"

Old Shang confirmed it was true, he adjusted his glasses, grabbed his briefcase, and headed to find Kou Hui alongside Old Cui.

Upon hearing about this, Kou Hui felt equally incredulous.

Because there had been no sign of it at all before this.

Nobody had even mentioned it.

More importantly, nobody had thought about it.

He asked uncertainly, "How old is Song Yunuan?"

"Seventeen,"

replied Deputy County Mayor Zhao, who was also in a state of shock.

Kou Hui said to Principal Cui, "You really have the nerve."

But he wasn’t someone who couldn’t adapt, "Ambition isn’t tethered to age, and without ambition, even a hundred years is wasted. Don’t worry about the child’s age or whether this will work out or not. Now that the question has been raised to this extent, Song Yunuan has already achieved a great feat."

He then arranged for the transportation company’s truck to pick up the goods the next day and also sent his car to pick up the people.

They needed to have a discussion immediately.

He also told Old Cui, "Don’t rush them, and don’t put pressure on the kid."

Principal Cui nodded quickly, "I understand, otherwise Old Mr. Hu might have a bad impression of us."

Meanwhile, in the provincial city, Song Liang had received another batch of raincoats and rubber shoes.

By this point, the three thousand yuan he brought was almost spent.

In the evening, Grandpa Hu and Old Mr. Lin both arrived.

They brought a pile of stuff with them.

They urged Song Yunuan to study well and make progress every day.

Grandpa Hu asked Song Liang if there was anything else, and Song Liang said, "Everything planned has been completed, thanks to Uncle Hu and Uncle Lin."

Song Liang found that after saying this out loud, he felt better.

Grandpa Hu even wanted to take them to see the factory director’s family from the provincial city textile factory, but Song Yunuan said, "There is a textile factory in Nanshan County Town that can still supply us for now. If we really can’t meet the demand, then I’ll come to trouble Grandpa Hu."

Old Mr. Lin stated directly, "Little Nuan, don’t be running around with your dad. If there’s anything, just call me or your Grandpa Hu. If there’s nothing, stay home and review well; the first-year high school curriculum isn’t light."

Song Yunuan heard the implied message, "Yeah, I will work hard. Even if Nanshan County sets up a school for staff and officials, I won’t attend. I aim for Beidu University."

Both of them laughed heartily, eagerly praising Song Yunuan’s ambitions.

Then Grandpa Hu said, "After you get back, tell Kou Hui to prepare the proposal well. There are three competitors right now, so we cannot take this lightly."

Song Yunuan immediately agreed to do so.

When the three of them arrived at Nanshan County Town, they found several people waiting on the platform, one of whom was Little Uncle, and another was Principal Cui.

When Song Liang got off the train, he almost fell flat on his face with disbelief.

Indeed, he was beyond flattered.

But it was decidedly reassuring.

A large truck had loaded all the cargo that was offloaded from the cargo train.

The large truck then took Song Liang back to Erdao River Village.

Song Nian was confused throughout the entire process.

And Song Mingsheng continued to accompany his sister in experiencing the world.

Song Yunuan and her brother were taken directly to the small canteen in the county government compound.

Kou Hui looked at Song Yunuan and was quite surprised. Despite her childish appearance, her calm composure was striking.

At the dining table, Song Yunuan relayed Grandpa Hu’s words exactly as they were spoken.

She also humbly said, "I’m just a bridge between both sides. How things will operate still depends on the leaders. But I think, no matter how many competitors we have, as long as we are genuinely committed to this task and present our sincerity upfront, we will have a much better chance of success than others."

Everyone laughed, this kid sure knew how to talk...
