Chapter 189 Is This Our Daughter?
Two hours later, the transport boat docked and the Baitan team arrived at Xuanzhu Wharf smoothly.
With Youfang accompanying them, Wen Susu was not bored at all along the way. Just think about how she usually traveled between Shanghai and Baitan Island by boat, a five-hour sea voyage would be really boring.
After getting off the boat, the team returned to the order at the start. Teacher Niu rode a motorcycle at the front, Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi rode bicycles side by side in the middle, and Fang Wei carried Wen Susu at the end.
After riding for a while, we arrived at the bustling city area.
Next to one of the busiest roads, there is a building being renovated.
"My dad and his people seem to be planning to build a hotel here."
"It's a nice stretch! Is this building rented or owned?"
"Yes, my parents would buy some of the more promising locations."
"Yes, sure. Auntie and uncle have good investment vision. For a piece of land like this, it will definitely appreciate in value in the future."
"You are so young, and you still understand this?"
"Hey, I do some research occasionally. I've said before that I want to go into investment."
Fang Wei smiled. Now that his family's mussel farming industry has been established and a certain amount of capital has been accumulated, with the blessing of forward-looking vision, it is a very risky investment for others, but for him it is the most obvious and stable development direction. At this moment, the best investment strategy must include real estate-related investment.
Fang Wei's main consideration is to make some diversified investments around his own mussel industry chain. Of course, he does not have any grand business ambitions. If the capital is large enough, he will have no control over himself. In terms of happiness and freedom, he may not be as good as some landlords!
Now that he is about to go to high school, Fang Wei is thinking about when to talk to his father and others about investing in some real estate or shops in the city, which can be regarded as part of the family's fixed assets.
Following up on Fang Wei's words, Wen Susu smiled and said:
"You're very proactive, then! You started researching so early?"
"I learned it from my sister!"
"Ah? Am I very mobile?"
"Strong! Of course he is strong. He just packed his bags and ran over here with the thought of coming here to teach. Isn't that strong?"
Thinking of something, Fang Wei asked curiously:
"Sister, after our high school entrance exam, you won't stay on Baitan Island as a teacher?"
"Yeah, I've already promised my mom and the others, so I can't just let them do what they want this time."
Wen Susu felt a little melancholy when she thought about it. Three years had passed in the blink of an eye. She was already a teacher, so why was she still as confused as a college student who didn't know what job to find after graduation during this graduation season?
"So, sister, are you planning to open your own studio?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Do you want to drive to Xuanzhu City? I'll go to high school here, and I can go to my sister's studio for meals when I have nothing to do!"
Wen Susu laughed when she heard this: "You think my studio is a canteen? There is no food for you! But it's probably not feasible to open it in Xuanzhu City, maybe I'll open it in Shanghai."
"Ah? Doesn't that mean I can't see you very often throughout the year?"
"You won't come to Shanghai to play during your holidays. It's not too far from Xuanzhu City to Shanghai by boat. It's not even as far as Baitan Island from here by boat."
"Okay, then I'll go over to have dinner with you when I have nothing to do during the holidays!"
"Help out with the work and you'll have your share!"
"Alas, working is also my responsibility as a younger brother~"
After knowing Wen Susu's general arrangements after her resignation, Fang Wei felt relieved. Relationships must always be maintained, especially in this era when communication and transportation are inconvenient. If there is no contact for a long time, the relationship will definitely fade. No matter whether they are teacher and student or siblings, they are things Fang Wei cherishes very much.
……
After riding for twenty minutes, the Baitan team arrived at the gate of No. 1 Middle School.
As a teacher, Wen Susu naturally knew that No. 1 Middle School was the best high school in Xuanzhu City, but this was also her first time visiting No. 1 Middle School.
Having been accustomed to the small and shabby Baitan Middle School, Wen Susu still felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the big and beautiful No. 1 Middle School campus.
"The environment of No. 1 Middle School is very good! It's almost the same as the good high schools in big cities, and the area is so large!"
"Ah? So No. 1 Middle School is so good! I thought high schools in big cities would be better!" Cai Ling was surprised when she heard that.
"There are definitely better high schools, but No. 1 High School is pretty good. You three are planning to get into No. 1 High School, right? You should work hard! When the time comes, tell everyone that several students from Class 2 of Grade 9 were admitted to No. 1 High School. I will be so proud~!"
"Bring honor to Teacher Wen!"
"Bring glory to yourselves."
"Let's go in."
Unlike the last time I came to No. 1 Middle School, the security guard this morning did not stop anyone, but only reminded everyone to park their cars properly.
This morning's Secondary School Track and Field Championships was open to the public. Not only the participating teams and students from the school, but also people from outside the school could enter to watch the game.
The event was quite grand, not only did leaders from the Municipal Education Bureau and Sports Bureau come to watch the games, but there were also reporters from the city's newspapers and television stations, as well as most of the students from No. 1 Middle School. The huge campus seemed extremely lively.
The opening ceremony had already been held earlier. It was a pity that I couldn’t see it due to the long distance, but there was nothing I could do about it.
“Winning the championship is the real thing!”
"Correct!"
"The preliminaries will start in half an hour. Fang Wei, Cai Ling, change your shoes and clothes, and take this time to get familiar with the track and warm up. Teacher Wen, you stay here and watch over them. I'll go to the competition committee to sign in."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Teacher Niu."
“There are so many people…”
Liu Zhiyi sighed. Compared with the usual school sports meet, there were many times more people today, including journalists! If she were to compete, her legs would probably go limp as she stood on the track.
But Fang Wei and Xu Cailing were fine. Fang Wei was a bold man, having died once before, so there were few situations that could make him timid and nervous. Cailing was more like a natural big-game player. The bigger the scene, the more formal the game, and the more people watching, the more excited she would be!
Especially when she saw reporters, she began to wonder if she would have the chance to be on the news.
"Fang Wei, do you think it would be on the news if I won the double championship again?"
"...I think it will happen, but can you please stop thinking about it and run first!"
"It's because of thinking about this that I'm more motivated and can run better, stupid!"
That seems to be the case...
Anyway, Fang Wei couldn't argue with her.
Seeing this, Wen Susu also threw out another incentive:
"After you finish your game, you should all be free this afternoon, right?"
This kind of sentence opening is familiar!
Before he could say anything, Cai Ling and Zhi Yi nodded their heads: "Yes! Teacher Wen, we are all free!"
"That's great, win the championship! I'll take you to the amusement park this afternoon, how about that!"
"In that case... I must exert my full strength!!"
That's an amusement park! Cai Ling has never been there in her life!
"By the way, why haven't my dad and the others arrived yet? Are they lost?"
The girl then remembered and looked left and right, but couldn't find her parents.
"I guess it's the boat that leaves in half an hour."
Fang Wei checked the time: "It should be almost time."
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and just when Fang Wei was preparing to play in the game, Fang Xianfeng, Xu Zhiyuan and Deng Xijuan rushed over without stopping.
"Luckily I made it in time! Didn't you finish the competition?"
"It's just about to begin!"
"There are so many people today! Teacher Wen, you are here too!"
"Yeah, let's cheer them on!"
"Who is on top now, Cai Ling or Fang Wei?"
"I!"
Fang Wei smiled, high-fived them one by one, followed Teacher Niu to register with the referee team, and then stood on the 100-meter track, ready to start the preliminaries with the other five contestants.
There were eighteen contestants in total, divided into three preliminaries groups. The top eight in the group stage entered the finals. Fang Wei was in the last group, and it was a good thing that he was in the last group, otherwise Fang Xianfeng would not be able to catch up with his son's group stage!
"Awei! Come on!"
After the Olympics two years ago, Fang Xianfeng also became a sports fan. Now when he sees his son standing on the field, he is so excited that he cheers him on.
"Fang Wei! Come on!!"
The cheerleading team consisting of Wen Susu, Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi also cheered him on enthusiastically.
"Everyone is in position——"
"preparation--"
"boom--!"
As the starting gun sounded, the six contestants who were ready to go at the starting line all rushed out!
Compared with the county trials, the level of the finalists in the city is generally much higher. Half of the contestants are students from sports schools, and the other half, including Fang Wei, are also the best in the track and field teams of various middle schools.
In the end, Fang Wei still ranked second in the group with a score of 11 seconds and successfully advanced to the finals.
After the men's race was finished, it was the women's race's turn.
Xu Cailing was in the first group to perform.
This is the first time Xu Zhiyuan and Tian Xilan have watched their daughter's game!
My daughter, who is usually playful and mischievous, seems like a different person when she stands on the stadium. Her serious expression, heroic posture, and sharp eyes staring at the finish line make her look like she was born for this stadium. Where is the unreliable look she has on weekdays?
"Ayuan...is that Cailing?" Deng Xijuan asked in a daze.
"... Isn't it you who gave birth to the child? Why are you asking me?" Xu Zhiyuan also rubbed his eyes, feeling a little dizzy.
The same goes for Fang Xianfeng. He also watched Cai Ling grow up, and had never seen such a dashing side of this little girl!
The people who are best at capturing hot spots are the journalists present. There is no doubt that Cai Ling is the most beautiful of all the contestants, and the camera is on her the most times!
Some people who have checked the information of the trials know that Cai Ling’s performance in the trials was quite impressive and she was also the strongest contender for the double crown in both events in this final.
However, most of the spectators were not aware of this. When they looked at Cai Ling, they couldn't help but doubt, is such a pretty girl really a sports person?
"Cai Ling! Come on!"
Although the daughter on the field somewhat refreshed the old parents' impression, Xu Zhiyuan and Deng Xijuan still waved their arms enthusiastically and cheered her on.
With her parents present, Cai Ling has to perform even better!
Soon, as the starting gun sounded, the girl rushed to the front like an arrow!
There was no ups and downs in the race; she just kept leading, and the gap between her and other players kept widening, so much so that when she was approaching the finish line, a large uninhabited area appeared around her!
Without slowing down, she pushed her upper body forward and was the first to cross the finish line!
"First in the group! Baitan Middle School! Xu Cailing 11 seconds!"
Fast! Cai Ling's group match result was even faster than her county finals result!
When the result was displayed on the LCD board at the finish line, the coaches of the other participating teams also sighed and sat back in their chairs.
I also said that I would see if this girl's condition would decline. Now I can just focus on competing with others for the second place...
