Chapter 549: Interlude
Hearing Li Yi's words, this usually serious tutor showed a look of realization on his face. He was wondering why Li Yi brought his wife with him before, and it turned out that there was such a reason.
But this is even better. Even Li Yi's wife's sister is studying here, which will naturally cause a greater response.
But Li Yi said with a serious face:
"Teacher Gu, I hope Xu Qingyao's identity will not be exposed too early!"
Gu Zhiquan immediately understood what Li Yi meant when he heard it. Although he has been teaching for so many years, he is still good at human relations and can understand what Li Yi is thinking.
There is no doubt that if Li Yi's identity and relationship with Xu Qingyao are revealed now, then Xu Qingyao will inevitably become the focus of the entire college. In some aspects, there are only disadvantages and no benefits, because Xu Qingyao will definitely attract much attention. There will definitely be people who envy Xu Qingyao's background and envy Xu Qingyao for having such a sister, but the next step after envy is jealousy, and after jealousy, it is hatred.
In short, not letting people know that Xu Qingyao's brother-in-law is Li Yi is the best way to protect Xu Qingyao. It would be best if Xu Qingyao was just an ordinary student before graduation. This would be the best.
Gu Zhiquan admired Li Yi's family very much because he knew this. First of all, Li Yi was low-key and had his own overall view. Secondly, Xu Qingyao knew how to hide her abilities and acted arrogantly in the school without relying on her brother-in-law's identity. You know, if Xu Qingyao showed her identity, she would be taken care of in the school. First of all, it was Wang Gaohua's relationship. Wang Gaohua regarded Li Yi as a half-apprentice. Who among the teachers didn't know this?
Didn't Li Yi go to Maozi with Qi Rong before?
Qi Rong took care of him all the way, obviously helping his junior brother! There's no need to say anything about this.
No matter what Li Yi and Wang Gaohua said, in the eyes of outsiders, Li Yi's identity was beyond doubt, and he was definitely the last disciple of Mr. Wang. However, Li Yi himself never admitted it, and never used this misunderstanding to achieve any purpose. This made the teachers of the School of Business and Management have a much better impression of Li Yi.
Gu Zhiquan directly said at the time that he had time today, and there was self-study in the afternoon, and no classes. He would take Li Yi and Xu Qingnan to find a place to stay, and then he could let Xu Qingyao come out to meet them.
Li Yi noticed that when he talked about finding a place to stay, Gu Zhiquan's face was slightly unnatural, but Li Yi did not take it to heart. Gu Zhiquan would definitely say what he should say, but if Gu Zhiquan didn't want to say it, it would be a bit abrupt to ask him on his own initiative.
The three of them sat in the car and came to a hotel that looked quite impressive. In the 1990s, it was rare to see hotels with marble tiles all over the floor. Most of them were three-star or above. In particular, according to Gu Zhiquan, this building was left by foreigners. Not long after it was renovated, it was bought and used as a hotel.
Currently, it is the second-ranked hotel in this town. The first-ranked one is Shangjiang Hotel of Shangjiang Enterprise. However, when talking about Shangjiang Hotel, Gu Zhiquan sighed and told the truth.
"In fact, we originally wanted to arrange accommodation for Mr. Li in Shangjiang Hotel, but one of the directors in the school, who is a major shareholder of Shangjiang Enterprise, had already decided on the accommodation, but he intervened and said that Shangjiang Hotel was under renovation recently and it was not convenient to receive guests..."
"We, the directors and teachers, couldn't help but want to argue, but the director said that he had something at home and couldn't find anyone. The team responsible for welcoming him was originally another director, but it was said that he suddenly had a high fever or something, and the reception was postponed again and again. We really had no choice..."
Li Yi immediately understood what Gu Zhiquan meant when he heard it. It seems that many people don't want him to appear here at all?
It's no wonder that the other four directors are wearing the same pants. Fortunately, Wang Gaohua has a good relationship with these directors and teachers, so Gu Zhiquan came forward.
Gu Zhiquan continued:
"I'm not saying this to take credit or anything, I just hope that Boss Li doesn't think that we didn't treat him well. This place costs more than 100 yuan a night. We chose the best room for Boss Li. It's true that everyone's salary is not high, and everyone pooled together to get these few hundred yuan..."
"Everyone's salary is more than 100 yuan a month, and basically all of it is transferred home. The school provides food and accommodation, so it doesn't cost much. I didn't expect the board of directors to do this... This is not it, I found a teacher in the department, so I got this little money..."
Li Yi suddenly realized that there was such a story behind this?
After hearing the second half of Gu Zhiquan's words, Li Yi was in awe of these teachers!
These days, the salary of ordinary university teachers is just over 100 yuan, and professors are more, 120 or 150 yuan. Teachers in the School of Business have iron rice bowls, and they study every day with one heart. Especially since the school provides food and accommodation, their lives are not good, but they are not hard either.
However, when Li Yi was about to come to the school to give lectures, almost all the teachers took out their own money. Of course, what Li Yi valued was not the money, but the sincerity.
These directors probably didn't expect that their plans to show Li Yi a strong power would be quietly destroyed by the teachers of their own school, and Li Yi also saw what sincerity is.
Li Yi immediately said to Gu Zhiquan: "I will return all the money. I see what the teachers mean, and Qingyao can study in your school, and I can come to your school to give lectures. I am lucky!"
After saying this, Li Yi stretched out his hand and shook hands with Gu Zhiquan tightly.
Gu Zhiquan was relieved when he heard this. As long as Li Yi didn't misunderstand, everything would be fine.
Li Yi said in a deep voice:
"Please bring Qingyao here, Teacher Gu, and prepare for the speech tomorrow. I hope Teacher Gu will keep the identity confidential!"
Gu Zhiquan nodded, said it should be, and turned to leave the hotel.
Xu Qingnan didn't say anything along the way. After seeing Gu Zhiquan's character, she felt more relieved. Qingyao will definitely learn a lot of knowledge in such a school. At least this teacher gave her a good feeling.
Li Yi was thinking about another question, about the content of the speech.
It was true that the speech was already prepared, but Li Yi had other plans.
