Chapter 783 Selected for the second round(2/2)
"Master, grandma, master, I just went to the provincial capital to participate in a competition.
The school has arranged for two teachers to accompany us. I heard that the city will also arrange for teachers to lead the tour, so my dad doesn’t need to accompany us, right?
This whole thing seems so grand and makes people laugh." Xu Haiyuan objected hastily upon hearing this.
As for that? He just went to the provincial capital to participate in a competition. This guy's school arranged for two teachers, and his father followed him. What's going on?
Make others laugh out loud when they see it?
"It's okay. I happened to have something to do recently and I need to go to the province. I'll accompany you to the competition."
Xu Shiyan felt guilty just now. Now that he finally had the chance to make up for his eldest son, he would definitely go to the provincial capital with him.
"That's okay."
When Xu Haiyuan took a look, his grandparents, grandma, master, and father were all looking at him with expectant eyes.
How can I say this if I refuse? Come on, my family doesn’t need a few dollars for food and accommodation anyway, so let’s go together.
When he heard that his son had agreed, he was so young, Xu Shiyan was so happy.
"Then it's settled, I'll go back to the unit tomorrow to make some arrangements for my work.
Mom, please pack two more sets of clothes for us Yuanyuan tomorrow. We will go out in the cold weather. We will be gone for six or seven days.
It’s cold now, so bring more warm clothes.”
From mid-to-late December to around the Gregorian calendar, the weather is the coldest. Going out and riding in a car can be a hassle, so you must bring more clothes.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, leave this to me. You just need to take good care of my eldest grandson."
The old lady was so happy that she agreed without saying a word.
"Yuanyuan, remember to tell your teacher tomorrow. They don't need to worry about train tickets or anything like that. I'll buy them for you."
Nowadays, you can go to the provincial capital by train or bus.
There are buses from Songjiang River directly to the provincial capital. They depart at 6 o'clock in the morning and arrive at the provincial capital in the afternoon, which is more convenient than taking a train.
Of course, with Xu Shiyan's status, it would be no problem to get a better car and drive to the provincial capital.
But Xu Haiyuan was going to participate in a competition, so it would not be appropriate to take a bus or bring his own car.
One is safety issues. The roads are slippery in winter and various conditions on the road are unpredictable.
It would be a pity if something went wrong and the game was delayed.
On the other hand, Xu Haiyuan and the others have to go to Hunjiang, where they will meet up with others and be led by the team leader, so they will set off together, so the train is the most suitable option.
Although the train is slow, you can take sleepers, which is relatively more comfortable.
"Uh, okay, then I'll tell the teacher."
Xu Haiyuan was speechless for a while. Was his father too happy?
This guy doesn't even need to take care of the train tickets, so he's responsible for it?
It's just a competition, why is it so exciting?
But seeing the excited faces of my father and grandparents, the words of rejection went around in my mouth several times, but I couldn't say them out.
Forget it, let's just coax and make my family happy for once. After all, there is only one chance in three years of junior high school.
In this way, Xu Shiyan went back to his work unit the next day to make work arrangements and asked for leave again.
Zhou Guilan packs clothes and other things for her son and grandson at home.
On the morning of December 16, the company arranged a car to pick up Xu Shiyan and his son, and then picked up the school's physics and chemistry teachers.
The group of people went straight to the train station, got on the train and headed straight to the Hunjiang River.
When I arrived at Hunjiang Railway Station, as soon as I got out of the station, I found someone holding a sign to pick me up outside. The physics teacher hurriedly stepped forward to contact them.
Xu Haiyuan and the others took the morning express train to Hunjiang, and it was only about two o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived in Hunjiang.
The train to the provincial capital left at nearly nine o'clock in the evening. There were still six or seven hours left in between, so we couldn't stay at the station.
Therefore, the relevant person in charge of the city arranged for them to go to the guest house to rest.
Wait for all the contestants to arrive, have dinner together in the evening, and then set off together.
In the Northeast this year, winter is quite cold, so everyone wears more clothes and covers themselves tightly.
Therefore, the person in charge of reception did not recognize Xu Shiyan standing next to Xu Haiyuan.
When everyone arrived at the guest house and the staff was checking in, Xu Shiyan happened to take off his hat and scarf, and he was recognized.
"Are you Mr. Xu from the ginseng company?"
You must know that Oriental Ginseng Industry Company is definitely one of the largest companies in the city and is very famous.
Xu Shiyan has been on TV several times, not to mention ordinary newspapers and magazines, and there are always several interviews a year.
The person at the guest house just now looked at Xu Shiyan as someone who looked familiar, but didn't think about it for a moment.
Isn't this registering the name of the guest? As soon as Xu Shiyan said his name, people immediately thought of who it was.
"Ah, yes." Xu Shiyan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to be recognized by people in the city.
Anyway, there is nothing to hide. Since you recognize it, then admit it openly.
"It turns out it's really Mr. Xu.
I looked familiar to you just now, so I took the liberty to ask, but I didn't expect it was really you."
The staff at the guest house was so excited that the writing hand was shaking slightly. The words he was asked to write were almost flying.
"Well, I'm going out with my children this time, sorry for the trouble, comrade." Xu Shiyan nodded with a smile.
Next to me, the two reception staff in the city were dumbfounded.
Is this Mr. Xu? Why didn’t they recognize it at all just now?
"Hey, Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, you see, we didn't even recognize you.
What about that, how about I give you another place to rest?"
"No, no, it's only a few hours, don't bother me.
Originally, the child wouldn't let me follow him this time, but if you make it too grand, I won't be able to go out with the child again in the future."
Xu Shiyan accompanied his son to the competition. He was not the protagonist, so how could he steal his son's limelight?
Besides, it’s just a few hours of rest. If it doesn’t work, why should we mobilize troops and make everyone aware of it?
"It's very nice here. Please excuse me. I'll take the children to rest first."
Xu Shiyan nodded with a smile, then picked up his luggage and walked to the room with his son.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu Shiyan had just entered the room to rest, and the receptionist at the other end quickly picked up the phone at the front desk and reported the situation to their leader.
"Director Li, I have something to report to you.
We just received Mr. Xu from Dongfang Ginseng Company, and he said that he was accompanying his son to participate in the competition."
The receptionist was from the Education Bureau. Their leader knew that Guan Enxue had a good relationship with Xu Shiyan, so he hung up the phone and reported to Guan Enxue immediately.
Then, Guan Enxue found out about Xu Shiyan accompanying his son in the competition.
"Okay, this brat takes his son to a game and doesn't even say hello to me when he passes by the city."
Guan Enxue hung up the phone, first complained to his secretary, then picked up the phone and called Chen Jianzhang and Lin Qiyue.
"Lin, do you have time? That Xiao Xu came to the city and said he was passing by to accompany his son to a competition in the provincial capital.
You hurry up and make arrangements, we'll go find him later, and we have to arrange a meal somewhere in the evening."
With Guan Enxue's temper, it's okay if he didn't know Xu Shiyan was coming. Since he knew, he had to arrange a meal.
