I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 51 Classmates Come to Visit

Fang Qingye locked the door and went back to his room to play games. Unfortunately, not long after, someone knocked on the door again. It was looking for his father!
He was sent away with a few words.

Here comes another one.
After more than an hour, two people came with gifts, and Fang Qingye felt helpless.

What's the point of coming here now just to cram?

It seems that I can't stay at home anymore, so I have to go out and hide for a while.

Fang Qingye turned off the computer and was about to go downstairs when he left home when he saw a young man with short hair coming up the stairs with a gift in his hand.

"Fang Qingye!"

The other party saw him and greeted him with a smile.

"Wang Lei!"

Fang Qingye recognized him as his high school classmate.

"Are you going out?" Wang Lei asked again.

"Yes, what are you doing?"

"I want to talk to you about something. It won't take you long."

Find me?

Seeing the gift in the other party's hand, Fang Qingye could guess the purpose of the other party's visit, but since the other party said he came to see him, it would be difficult to refuse on the spot.

"Okay then, let's go in and talk." Fang Qingye said, reopening the door to let Wang Lei in.

"Fang Qingye, you are alone, your parents are not here?" Wang Lei asked, looking at the empty living room.

"My parents are out traveling."

Wang Lei didn't seem surprised at all.

"Wang Lei, please sit down first. I'll get you some watermelon. It's so hot." Fang Qingye called out and walked towards the kitchen.

"You're welcome. I'll just sit for a while and then leave." Wang Lei said hurriedly.

Fang Qingye took out half a watermelon from the kitchen refrigerator, cut it into several pieces, brought it out on a plate, placed it on the coffee table, and greeted Wang Lei.

Wang Lei was polite and picked up a piece to eat while chatting.

"Fang Qingye, I saw you and Jiang Chen making a bet in the grade group a while ago. You were a good student in school, but I didn't expect you to be so good at stock trading. I'm really impressed."

The other party's words were obviously a compliment. Fang Qingye smiled and said, "That's all a blind cat catching a dead mouse."

"Do you work at the Oriental Bank?"

"Correct."

"The bank is a good company with a good working environment and high salary," said Wang Lei.

"It's okay, Wang Lei. Where do you work?"

"I work at the Panlong Town Government."

"Are you taking the civil service exam?"

"Yes, I passed the exam last year and was officially hired not long ago."

"That's also very good." Fang Qingye said.

"That's fine. Although Panlong Town is the most remote town in Nanxin, I'm already content." Wang Lei replied, and then said:

"Did you know that Liu Dong was seconded from the Elderly Affairs Commission to the Propaganda Department?"

"I know. I heard that he is very busy in the Propaganda Department. He accompanies leaders to conduct field research in the countryside during the day and works overtime to write materials at night." Fang Qingye did not hide anything.

"Yes, he came to our town for research with Minister Wang. I met him once. He looks much more energetic than when he was in the Aging Committee. I guess he will be able to stay in the Propaganda Department in the future. His future is bright." Wang Lei said again.

"I hope so, Wang Lei. If you work hard in the township, you will be able to become the mayor or secretary in the future!" Fang Qingye replied with a smile.

"I dare not even think about it. Fang Qingye, you know that my family is from the countryside. I am quite satisfied to be able to pass the exam and work for the government. I really can't think of anything else."

Fang Qingye certainly remembered that this Wang Lei, like Liu Dong, transferred from the countryside to Chengguan Middle School in the second year of junior high school and was in the same class as him in high school, but their relationship was not as close as with Liu Dong.

The two chatted for a while, and then they heard Wang Lei say, "Fang Qingye, I won't waste your time if you're busy. I came here today to ask for a favor."

"What do you say?" "My cousin, my third uncle's son, is going from primary school to junior high school this year. He wants to go to Chengguan Middle School, preferably the key class. Can you talk to your father and put him in there? After that, my third uncle and I will thank you very much." Wang Lei stated the purpose of his visit.

Fang Qingye was not surprised to hear this. He estimated that if Wang Lei only wanted to enter Chengguan Middle School for this matter, it would not be difficult. So he asked:

"Where is your third uncle's house? Which school district is it in?"

"He lives in our hometown."

"Well," Fang Qingye said with difficulty, "Wang Lei, you know that the middle school students go to now is strictly based on where their parents live. Your third uncle lives in the countryside, so it's difficult for your cousin to go to school in the city."

"I understand this policy, so my uncle bought a house in the city. But the developer is dragging their feet and hasn't finished construction yet, so he can't get the property certificate. So I'd like to ask your father to help."

"You have to contact the county admissions office. They are responsible for assigning students to school districts. My dad doesn't have that authority." Fang Qingye told the truth.

"I know, but I don't know anyone in the admissions office," Wang Lei said. "You know, I come from the countryside, and none of my relatives work in the government. After much thought, I can only ask an old classmate for help."

Fang Qingye did not respond and fell silent.

Seeing Fang Qingye like this, Wang Lei thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Just now I said that I was very satisfied to be admitted to the town government. I said it from the heart."

Fang Qingye looked at him, not understanding why he suddenly said this.

"Nowadays, people in society say that knowledge changing destiny is just a joke, but I firmly believe it because I am an example!" Wang Lei said again.

"Because you passed the civil service exam?"

"Yes, although I can't say that my fate has been completely changed, it feels much better than if I had stayed in the countryside."

That’s true. Fang Qingye nodded.

"It's because I got into university that I'm eligible to take the civil service exam. Fang Qingye, you have no idea how poor the quality of education is in rural areas these days! In my class back in the countryside, more than half the students didn't make it to high school. They either went to a vocational school or simply went out to work. The best you can get into high school in the countryside is a junior college."

"So, I'm very grateful to my parents for doing everything they could to get me from the countryside to the city to go to school. My cousin has been very smart since he was young, so I had long been encouraging my third uncle to buy a house in the city so that he could go to school. I didn't expect this to go wrong."

At the end, Wang Lei sighed deeply.

Fang Qingye was silent for a moment before he said, "Wang Lei, how about this? Send your cousin's admission ticket number and other information to my QQ. Oh, and take a photo of your third uncle's household registration booklet, the cover of the house purchase agreement, and the basic information page and send them along! I'll tell my dad about it, but I can't guarantee it will work."

"Thank you so much!" Wang Lei was delighted and said, "I believe it will work."

Fang Qingye smiled and did not answer.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave first." After saying that, Wang Lei stood up.

Fang Qingye didn't try to persuade him to stay. He pointed at the large bag of gifts on the coffee table and said, "Take these back."

"How can that be? How can I come here empty-handed?" Wang Lei refused.

"Hey, we're old classmates, there's no need for this. If you don't mention it, I won't tell my dad, okay?"

"Well, it's done. I'll come back to thank you!"

Wang Lei left excitedly with the gift, and a few minutes later Fang Qingye received a text message from Wang Lei.

He looked at the information inside, thought about it, and added a long paragraph, which was basically the feelings that Wang Lei expressed during the conversation just now.

After editing, Fang Qingye first sent a greeting to his father, and then sent the text message.

Not long after, my dad called.

"Dad, have you arrived in Hulunbuir? Did you have a smooth journey?" Fang Qingye asked.

"It's going pretty smoothly. Your mom and I have already checked into the hotel, Xiaoye. I didn't expect you to be at home helping me with work? Then why would I come out in such hot weather?!"

"Going to escape the summer heat." Fang Qingye joked, then quickly said, "Dad, Wang Lei is my classmate. I've already told you about his situation in the text message. Don't worry, this won't happen again!"

"Okay, then. I'll call Director Zhang from the Admissions Office when I get to work tomorrow," Dad said on the phone.

"That's great! Dad, if I'm assigned to your school, I'll be in the key class." Fang Qingye added quickly.

"I know that when you help someone, you have to help them completely. Besides, Wang Lei is your classmate and works in a government office. Maybe you'll need his help in the future."

If it was just after leaving the school before rebirth, Fang Qingye would definitely say "vulgar!"

But now he didn't say it out loud, but answered with a smile.

"Okay, Mom and Dad, have fun and have fun. You don't have to worry about the things at home! Bye."
