Chapter 45: Appointment
Zhao Qishui entered He Shu's class and sat in He Shu's seat.
There are a lot of books and notes on the table, stacked neatly like two walls.
After sitting in this seat, Zhao Qishui's previous reservedness magically disappeared. He looked around the classroom, which was where He Shu usually studied.
The teacher talked about many problems that might occur to college entrance examination candidates at the podium. Zhao Qishui listened carefully for a while and felt that these problems were not a problem for He Shu.
That guy wasn't nervous at all and was always calm.
When the teacher started to announce the results of several monthly exams, Zhao Qishui puffed out his chest. His son He Shu had excellent grades and was given special praise.
At this time, those parents no longer looked at Zhao Qishui's dress with strange eyes, but cast envious eyes...
After the parent-teacher meeting, the teacher specially kept Zhao Qishui and told him that he must make sure He Shu maintains his current learning attitude.
Let your children rest at home to relieve their fatigue, but don’t be too tense…
When the parents' meeting was in session, He Shu went back to the dormitory to pack his things and would go back with Uncle Zhao later.
Take a two-day break and then go back to school until the exam.
After packing up, He Shu went to the school gate and waited. Soon Zhao Qishui came trotting over, and when they met, he laughed and hugged He Shu.
"I embarrassed you today, but you made me proud."
He Shu smiled slightly: "Uncle Zhao, you look so handsome today!"
"Haha, you are a good judge of vision. Let's go home."
Zhao Qishui happily helped He Shu carry the things, and while walking he told He Shu how the teacher had just praised him.
After returning home, Zhao Qishui kept his teacher's words in mind and asked He Shu to have a good rest and calm his mind.
He Shu nodded and prepared to take a nap to catch up on some sleep.
After He Shu returned to the room, Zhao Qishui changed out of his suit and hung it carefully in the closet. He would wear this suit again if he had the chance to attend a parent-teacher meeting next time!
He quietly opened the door and took a look. He Shu was already asleep. It was still early, so Zhao Qishui locked the door, left home and went to the car wash.
When they arrived at the car wash, Zhao Qishui began to tell everyone about his parent-teacher meeting, and everyone listened with smiles on their faces.
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Since the teacher said so, our He Shu might be able to get the top score in the exam."
"Hey, if I really get a top scorer in the imperial examination, I'll buy a truckload of firecrackers and cover this street with them..."
…
He Shu, who was sleeping soundly at home, was awakened by the ringing of the phone. He reached out for the phone and took a look. It was Xia Miao.
"Hello?"
"Hello? He Shu, are you sleeping?" Xia Miao immediately knew that there was something wrong with He Shu's voice. The laziness in his voice as if he had just woken up made Xia Miao feel like the phone was a little hot to her ears.
"Well, what's wrong?"
When Xia Miao heard that she had disturbed He Shu's sleep, she immediately felt guilty: "I'm fine..."
He Shu: “…”
"Well, I met Teacher Li Mei on the street. She said she hadn't seen you for a long time, so I called you."
"Teacher Li Mei?" He Shu sat up: "Where are you?"
"Teacher Li wants to have dinner with us at the restaurant next to the iron bridge across the river. Can you come?"
"Well, I'll be there in a bit."
He Shu got up, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and looked up at the mirror.
How could he forget Teacher Li Mei? But He Shu originally planned to tell her the good news after getting good grades.
Since Xia Miao has met him today, let’s go and meet him.
He Shu picked out a set of light grey sportswear bought for him by Uncle Zhao, packed up neatly and went out.
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Brother Xiao Dong getting out of the car.
"Hey? Are you awake?"
"Brother Dong, why are you here?"
Xiao Dong smiled and said, "Master asked me to come back to see if you are up. It's just in time for you to get up. Let's go back to the store and go out for dinner tonight."
He Shu checked the time and said, "Brother Xiao Dong, tell Uncle Zhao that I'm going to meet a teacher and have dinner outside."
"Ah? You want to go out?" Xiao Dong scratched his head: "Okay , I'll take you wherever you want to go, and then I'll go back to the store."
He Shu agreed and followed Xiao Dong into the car.
After driving for a while, He Shu realized that this was not the way to the iron bridge across the river: "Brother Dong, where are you taking me?"
"First, you accompany me to the gym and get a membership card."
Afraid that He Shu would disagree, Xiao Dong quickly explained: "He Shu, please help Brother Xiao Dong to get a membership card. I will give you the money later."
He Shu shook his head helplessly: "That's not necessary, but Brother Dong, do you really want to develop this?"
"Yes, I'm telling you, He Shu, I thought it was simple before. They really make a lot of money as coaches."
The two of them arrived at the gym while talking. Xiao Dong asked He Shu if he had enough money. He Shu nodded. He was going to treat Teacher Li to a meal, so he brought some extra.
It doesn't cost much to open a membership card for Brother Xiao Dong.
The two entered the gym. There was no one at the front desk on the first floor, so Xiao Dong took He Shu directly upstairs to the fitness area, where Yu Ping happened to be there.
When he saw Xiao Dong say He Shu came to apply for a card, he came over to greet him enthusiastically.
"Do you have your ID card with you? If you have a student ID, we can give you a little discount." Yu Ping took He Shu to the office to apply for a card. Xiao Dong wanted to follow, but was called over by the other two people to look at something.
The office is a small room next to the fire escape, with a table, a scale and a chair.
The table was full of disposable lunch boxes and water cups, and cigarette butts were all over the floor. It was very messy.
When He Shu saw such an environment, he sighed in his heart. This place was really terrible.
Even if He Shu didn't know anything about fitness, he felt that he couldn't train anything in a place like this.
But Brother Xiao Dong brought him here directly, so He Shu couldn't refuse. At worst, the money would be wasted. Anyway, he would not come here to exercise.
"Come here, your name is He Shu, right? Fill out this form first, and then I'll give you a physical test."
He Shu took a form, which contained basic information such as name, age and mobile phone number.
"You need to test again? I'm a bit pressed for time, how about we test it next time?"
"Hey, it only takes a few minutes. After the test, I can give you a set of training methods based on this. Your brother Dong is practicing here. Look at how much progress he has made. We are professionals."
Hearing this, He Shu grabbed a pen from the table and began to fill in the form. Yu Ping was holding his cell phone and sending messages non-stop.
After finishing writing , Yu Ping led He Shu out along the fire escape, introducing as he walked: "Our boss spent a lot of money to buy a professional testing machine, which is upstairs. It can measure your physical fitness in three to five minutes..."
The small door of the fire escape was opened , and outside was an iron staircase welded to the wall.
He Shu glanced outside and did not see the stairs leading upstairs. As soon as he turned around, he was hit by a strong force.
He Shu was caught off guard and was suddenly kicked down by Yu Ping, rolling down the stairs...
