Chapter 570: Chapter 600: Missing the Teacher
Qin Jiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "That’s still a long way off. Don’t put pressure on me now."
"It’s not pressure, not at all! Just think, isn’t it a fun idea? Xiao Jiao, I was thinking, why don’t you have twins down the road? Fraternal twins would be best, so you’d have a boy and a girl. Then you could design clothes for both of them!"
Qin Jiao laughed. "Okay, okay. If I let you keep talking, my future kid will be having kids of their own by the time you’re done!"
"Hehe."
Jiang Xiaoyue had always been lively, and since things had gone so smoothly for her the past couple of years, she was in a much better state overall.
She thought for a moment, then said, "Oh, by the way, Xiao Jiao, do you remember Meng Lanlan?"
"Mhm, I remember. Weren’t we all in the same class? I recall she got into a university in our province. She should have graduated this year, right?"
"Yeah. Her family set her up with someone from North City. After they got married and held the banquet, Meng Lanlan moved to North City with him. I ran into her at the mall the other day, and she mentioned that we should get together with you sometime."
"I remember she used to be really close with Lin Nian. They were even deskmates."
"Mhm. When we met, I mentioned to Meng Lanlan that Lin Nian was in North City too, but Lanlan said they hadn’t really kept in touch after high school."
Back then, Lin Nian had gone to prison without even taking the college entrance exams. After she got out, life must have been difficult, which was probably why she left Ping’an Town for North City.
After all, when she married Shen Feng, a bearded man had shown up and caused a scene, claiming he had spent one thousand yuan to marry her.
But the Shen Family later stepped in and took care of the incident.
At the same time, the paint scandal the Shen Family was supposed to face never materialized. It was unclear whether the issue had been completely resolved or simply delayed.
’Lin Nian probably had a hand in that.’
Qin Jiao thought for a moment before replying, "A get-together with the three of us would be fine, but I don’t want to see Lin Nian. It would just ruin my mood."
"I get it. I don’t want to see her either. When I make plans with Meng Lanlan, I’ll let her know it’ll just be the three of us."
"Okay." Qin Jiao nodded, then sighed. "Speaking of which, I really do miss our teacher, Mr. Sun Guotao."
"Yeah, he really was a great teacher."
The homeroom teacher their class had before him really made things difficult for everyone. But then Mr. Sun Guotao took over and helped so many of the students.
Having a truly great teacher during those crucial school years is so important.
As Jiang Xiaoyue headed back to the Design Department, someone from HR came to see Qin Jiao.
The HR manager was a woman in her thirties named Luan Wei. She was also a North City University graduate and had originally been assigned a stable job in the public sector. However, she fell ill, and someone else took her opportunity.
She had majored in Chinese Language and Literature, making her an alumna of Qin Jiao’s. Qin Jiao vaguely remembered her, but they hadn’t crossed paths in her past life. All she knew was that Luan Wei was highly competent—rigid, perhaps, but undeniably skilled at her job.
The moment Qin Jiao saw her, she knew something was up.
"Manager Luan, what is it?"
"Regarding your request to establish a legal department, we need to select a head for it. You mentioned this person must be competent and outstanding. Naturally, the position offers excellent compensation, so we’ve had many highly qualified candidates apply."
"I can go ahead and make recommendations for the regular staff positions in the legal department myself. But for the team lead, we’ve narrowed it down to two candidates. I’d like you to take a look, General Manager."
