Chapter 217
At 6am in the morning, Ye Jian was the first one to reach the school while jogging .
However, Princ.i.p.al Chen had arrived earlier than her, and was holding a letter in his hand . He casually stood at the school gate, waiting for Ye Jian to head over there .
Before long, a figure wearing the school’s summer uniform could be seen running towards him . The figure was bathed in the morning light . It looked like a young eagle that was soaring high in the sky . Although its wings were still tender, they were firm enough for it to soar freely under the blue skies .
He took out the letter and checked it out . Just as she was about to reach him, he hid it behind his back, his benevolent gaze filled with encouragement as he awaited the young eagle’s arrival .
Ye Jian, who was covered in sweat from her jog, had already noticed the senior standing in front of the school gate . She hastened her pace, “Sir, you’ve arrived at school so early today, are you going to welcome the new students?”
“Handling the new students has always been Director Ke’s job . I, in fact, was waiting here especially for you . ” Princ.i.p.al Chen inspected the little la.s.s, whom he hadn’t seen for a few days . He said with a bright smile on his face, “The army is still the best at raising people . See, you’ve grown taller . ”
And with that said, he pa.s.sed the letter to her, “Sender: Xia Jinyuan, receiver: Ye Jian, little la.s.s, don’t tell me that you’ve become pen pals with Major Xia?”
His handwriting was stylish and his words looked powerful, yet he knew to round the edges . His handwriting was like his personality . This Major Xia… seems to be treating little la.s.s Ye a little different .
Ye Jian was slightly surprised, he even wrote a letter to her?
She took the letter and gazed at it . It definitely was Xia Jinyuan’s handwriting . She couldn’t comprehend why he would want to write her a letter to her .
Just as she was about to open the letter, Princ.i.p.al Chen stopped her . “Open it later, I have to talk to you about something, let’s go to my office . ”
The school compound was still quiet at 6 in the morning . Students would sign up in the morning and a talk for the new students would be held in the afternoon . The next day, their cla.s.ses would start immediately . The reporting times were packed closely together, which suited Princ.i.p.al Chen’s way of doing things .
After entering his office, he smiled, “Today, Secretary Wu from the Education Bureau is arriving . He came here before, but he did not manage to see either of us and went back to the city empty-handed . ”
“You should prepare yourself for a nice chat with Secretary Wu later . ”
The little la.s.s had a down-to-earth personality . No matter what she did, she would keep a low profile . For example, this time, she had received such a prestigious award, but when she came back she acted as if nothing had happened and allowed things to continue the way they were .
She was unlike Ye Ying . Just because Ye Ying ranked in the top 10 in her finals, she ended up boasting till the whole village knew of it .
If that kid wasn’t educated properly, she would be ruined by her own mom’s hands .
Ye Jian nodded her head and smiled, “Okay, is there anything I have to pay attention to? It’s better if I have some mental preparation . ” She had never experienced something like this before in her past life . Even if she had restarted her life, she still had to relearn some things .
Besides, if there was no need to meet up, Princ.i.p.al Chen surely would have declined it for her . That he was personally telling her this, it meant that she had to treat this cautiously .
“There’s no need, no need . It’s mostly because you received an award, and …” He paused . The smile in Princ.i.p.al Chen’s eyes became more evident . “And also because of the fact that the businessmen had established an ‘Excellent Scholars’ Scholarship Fund’, and the prime benefactor, Mr . Gao, specifically mentioned your name in front of the Mayor . He said that you were the one who suggested the idea . ”
Mentioning that, even Princ.i.p.al Chen started feeling quite proud .
She was able to consider and think about what others could not, she had a wide view of the world, understood others perspectives, knew when to decline, and also knew when to draw the line, … How could a la.s.s like her not fill him and Uncle Gen with pride?
However, this little la.s.s really could keep a secret . She hadn’t spoken a word about it ever since she came back . No one even knew that she had done such a great thing .
