Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1634 - 935: Goodbye, Teacher Qin (3)

Xiao Xian cut her off with a grin: "Sis, do you really think I’m that unreliable?"

"Of course!" Xiao Yan huffed angrily. She really felt she had lost face completely—not just in front of her own brother’s classmates, but most crucially, what if Wang Qiayu misunderstood and thought she’d put her sister up to prying into his business?

"Sis, when it comes to relationships, your eye for things is really not great." Xiao Xian sighed lightly. "I brought this up in front of a whole bus of people because I had a reason.

Let me put it this way: junior high girls might like a male teacher but never say it out loud, while high school girls who like a male teacher might actually take action.

Besides, I honestly think Teacher Wang is a rare good teacher. You and he would actually be quite a good match. And anyway, didn’t you want to get that secret recipe from his grandpa..."

She didn’t say the rest out loud, but the implication couldn’t have been clearer.

Xiao Yan’s brows knitted slightly. "Xiao Xian, when did you become so calculating? I’m really disappointed in you."

"All right, I was just joking. It’s not like I don’t know what kind of person my sister is." Xiao Xian spread her hands helplessly. "Sis, you’ve been out working for years now. How are you still so rigid? You can’t even take a joke."

Xiao Yan glared at her sister. "You’re not allowed to make that kind of joke again!"

"Okay, okay, no more jokes like that." Xiao Xian swept a look over the empty campus, a trace of nostalgia flickering in her eyes.

Thinking of what her sister had said earlier, Xiao Yan understood and turned back to pat her on the head. "As long as you’re willing to work hard, one day no one will dare look down on you."

"I know. I’m just a bit emotional, and it makes me feel even more that Wang Qiayu really is precious. If we want to narrow the gap between rural and urban students, we need good teachers like him..."

"You could take the teachers’ recruitment exam."

Xiao Xian’s eyes lit up, then she shook her head. "It’s useless. If it’s only one or two teachers thinking like that, people will just see them as oddballs and nutcases.

If we really want to narrow the gap, we have to start with the economy. Once the countryside is better off, schools won’t be so strapped for funds, the students’ interests and talents can actually be developed, and along with that, their overall quality will improve.

Sis, I’ve already decided—after I graduate I’m going to Liangyou. I’ll be close to our parents and I’ll be able to change some people’s lives. I feel that’s much more meaningful than being a teacher."

"I believe you’ll definitely do better than I did in the future."

Xiao Xian actually blushed for once. "Sis, you’re making fun of me..." Then her expression turned serious. "Your grades were better than mine. If you hadn’t given up your chance for me back then, you definitely would’ve been a top student at Beijing University or Tsinghua. Where you are today wouldn’t just be this."

"You can’t put it that way either. Xiao Xian, you’ve met Chairman Luo and President Qu. Being able to work under them, I feel like there’s real promise.

If I used to have regrets about not being able to go to university because we were poor, now I don’t have any at all. Tell me, if I hadn’t dropped out back then, would I really be better off than I am now?"

It was only in the heat of the moment earlier that Xiao Xian had felt it was a pity her sister hadn’t gone to college. But with that reminder, she suddenly remembered that Chairman Luo had already agreed to send her sister abroad to study next year.

That was basically making it clear that her sister had already become a key培养对象 for Liangyou.

Liangyou was an extremely high-quality company. Without her sister’s introduction, if she wanted to join Liangyou after she graduated, she’d have to go through layer after layer of screening, and whether she’d be hired in the end would be completely up in the air.

Looking at it that way, it really was hard to say her sister had been wrong to give up on university back then... The more she thought about it, the more tangled up Xiao Xian felt. She frowned at Xiao Yan with a wry smile. "Sis, you’ve completely twisted my brain into knots."

"Heh..." Xiao Yan chuckled softly. "Personally, I think that whether or not you go to college, as long as you work hard and keep pushing yourself, you’ll run into good opportunities.

And only with good opportunities and a good boss can you really have a bright future. Studying can happen at any time, but a good boss doesn’t come along for everyone."

Xiao Xian nodded. "True. Sis, since we’re here, let’s go see Teacher Qin. She really misses you."

"I..." Xiao Yan hesitated a little. Teacher Qin had been her homeroom teacher in junior high and later transferred to the high school division. Coincidentally, she’d also been her sister’s homeroom teacher in high school.

Her sister had mentioned before that after all these years, Teacher Qin still thought about her and felt it was a pity about her, and she herself had never forgotten how good Teacher Qin had been to her back then.
