Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Also Really Convinced_1

Song Mingsheng pursed his lips and tugged his sister towards the exit.

While walking, he said, "Luckily, Jade Ruyi was asleep, otherwise, if it heard Dad calling it ugly, it would have gotten angry again."

Song Yunuan stopped in her tracks, pinched her brother’s tender little cheeks, and said, "Asheng, you can’t indulge it, you know. Spoiling a child is like killing a child..."

Song Mingsheng’s eyes widened: "But, it... it’s not my son, is it? I don’t even have a wife yet."

"It’s just a metaphor. We can’t say it’s a trinket, but it’s not far off, and besides, you were the one who rescued it from the basement. It should be thankful to you. The way you two should interact is that it listens to what you say, not the other way around where you take to heart whatever it says. Do you understand?"

Song Mingsheng thought for a while, his cheeks flushing with excitement, and he nodded vigorously: "Yeah, I get it, I get it!"

That’s right. He couldn’t let Jade Ruyi lead him by the nose. After all, it’s just an object.

An object that has turned ugly, at that.

Afterward, the reverence Song Mingsheng had for Jade Ruyi whooshed away with the wind at that moment.

Song Yunuan was also looking out for Song Mingsheng’s best.

Even though his intelligence returned to normal after he turned eight, he was still only five years old now.

He shouldn’t be dominated by an object.

Thus, she had to teach her brother not to take these things so seriously.

Song Yunuan, with her small cross-body bag, led her brother downstairs by the hand.

Then she saw that a large group of people had gathered around the lobby service desk.

There were some with backpacks and others holding luggage, washbasins, and big tea jars—almost more than thirty people.

The Education Committee Guesthouse was usually a very quiet place.

It seemed exceptionally lively for the first time.

Then the female receptionist at the service desk became flustered. She was the only one on duty today, as the other had taken leave due to some matters.

She was scurrying around behind the counter.

With a troubled expression, she said, "Can you all keep it down a bit?"

The group leader, frowning, said sternly, "Then can you handle it or not? If you can’t, call your leader out."

The receptionist’s face turned red, on the verge of crying.

Just then, Song Yunuan came downstairs, quickly leading her brother into the service desk area and said with a smile to the crowd, "Don’t worry, everything will be taken care of shortly."

The check-in process nowadays was very simple. They presented their letters of introduction, and she would register them.

The room keys were all hanging on the wall.

If a key was hanging, it meant the room was available.

After glancing at the wall and reading the letters of introduction, Song Yunuan had an idea. She said to the group leader, "Director Cai, we currently have six four-bed rooms, four three-bed rooms, six double rooms, and two single rooms available. The female comrades definitely want to stay together. Let’s tally it up and arrange the rooms for the ladies first."

There were more than ten female comrades in the group. Even though they didn’t know what Song Yunuan’s role was, they were impressed by her.

They spontaneously started counting how many female comrades there were.

Song Yunuan asked the guesthouse’s female receptionist to start registering their units and examining the letters of introduction.

They quickly figured out that the female comrades needed one six-bed room and two three-bed rooms, just perfect to keep them all together without separating them.

They came from various units in Linhai City to the provincial capital to take the skill qualification exam.

Song Yunuan praised them, then proceeded to describe how beautiful Linhai City was with its vast forests and rolling green waves. Not only was it a national treasure trove of resources, but it also served as a natural barrier for the Beiquan Great Plain, protecting the local residents from the scourge of sandstorms...

Before long, the conversation turned lively and enthusiastic.

When it came to the local scenery, Song Yunuan was well-versed, and she quickly formed a close bond with them.

Song Yunuan told them she was from Nanshan County Town and that just today, the provincial education center had approved the establishment of a Staff and Cadre College in Nanshan County Town.

This Staff and Cadre College was no small feat.

Even teachers from the technical university and those from Beidu had gone to provide support.

Nanshan County Town had clear mountains and beautiful waters with scenic beauty.

The students’ dormitories were newly built, and the school was close to the train station, with many famous attractions nearby.

Nanshan County Town had a lot of unique local snacks, and there was also the very famous Zhilan Garment Factory of the provincial capital, which launched new products every so often.

The leader of this group was Director Cai from the Forestry Bureau office of their locality.

Moved by the conversation, he asked Song Yunuan about her diploma.

"That’s definitely as universally recognized and valuable as a graduation certificate from a technical college."

Director Cai’s eyes blinked.

Their Forestry Bureau was hoping to send a group of students out for training.

Various units and even coal mines at the same level were in urgent need of talent, and staff also needed training.

But now there were too many students and too few schools.

He had not expected that a Staff and Cadre College could be established in Nanshan County Town.

If professors from the technical university in the provincial city and from universities in Beidu all came to support it, that would be truly significant.

Such a diploma would certainly carry a lot of weight.

Although everyone wanted to go to the provincial city or even more so to Beidu,

there were no schools that wanted them.

In the past few years it was okay, but these last few years there had been a massive surge.

There were more students, but not enough schools.

That’s why all sorts of places started night schools.

Director Cai became interested, deciding to head to the education center later to ask about it.

Song Yunuan was multitasking, on one hand talking to Director Cai and several female comrades standing by about the beautiful scenery, lovely clothes, and various local products of Nanshan County Town, and on the other hand managing room registration and key distribution without making a single mistake.

In a moment of free time, she even praised the waitress next to her, "Sister, your penmanship is so beautiful."

She truly took care of everything.

It was a chaotic scene just like a vegetable market, but within a few minutes, it turned into a completely different atmosphere.

Deputy County Mayor Zhao, standing at the staircase, had a very complex expression on his face.

He was genuinely impressed.

He straightened his back.

How could he not know how great Nanshan County Town was?

Song Yunuan made it sound as if Beidu and Hai City couldn’t compare.

Not to mention the provincial city.

It was as if not visiting Nanshan County Town in one’s lifetime would be a major regret.

Thinking of Nanshan County Town’s reality, Deputy County Mayor Zhao felt a bit guilty.

Beautiful?

He didn’t feel it.

The town still had an untreated stinking ditch.

Moreover, the roads were in disrepair, full of potholes.

And the town had only one department store.

These people had come from afar, and when they left, they left quite a few hazelnuts and pine seeds at the service desk.

They said it was for the two young ladies to eat.

Song Yunuan had just put some in her pocket and given the rest to the waitress.

She also learned that the waitress’s name was Li Chunwei.

Song Yunuan said with a smile, "Sister Weiwei, I need to make a phone call at the post office, you go ahead with your work."

Li Chunwei promptly pulled Song Yunuan into an adjoining room and said affectionately, "You can make calls right here. Just keep track of the time, and we can settle the bill when you check out."

Song Yunuan’s eyes flickered, realizing that the hostel also offered long-distance call services.

But now, most waitresses held onto their ’iron rice bowls.’

The service aspect was still okay.

But there wasn’t any initiative to serve, nor an understanding to think from the customers’ perspective.

How to put it?

If you open your mouth to ask her for the phone, she will need to consider if it’s troublesome. If it is, she’ll tell you there isn’t one, and to go to the post office if you need to make a call.
