Gu Yichen removed his mother from the blacklist and sincerely apologized to her.
He finally understood that sometimes when parents forbid their children from doing something, it's not entirely because they're controlling.
Some genuinely mean well for the child.
After hearing his apology, his mother also apologized to him.
"It's alright, mothers and children don't hold grudges overnight. Mom didn't take it to heart. It was also Mom's fault; Mom's overprotection prevented you from recognizing your true abilities."
"From now on, Mom will be able to speak the truth. As parents, we can't mindlessly undermine our children's confidence, nor can we mindlessly praise them and make them arrogant..."
Gu Yichen was in tears.
Anyway, he will never again tear down the umbrella of his family in his life.
Gu Yuanqiu added, "Mom has forgiven you, but you misunderstood Mianmian's good intentions, and you need to apologize to her. Also, if it weren't for her saving the day, you would have embarrassed yourself even more."
Gu Yichen looked up and gazed at Su Mian, who was still rapping not far away.
"I will... I will help her with practical actions."
What Su Mian want most right now is probably to win back the cultural relics.
He was quite good at pretending to be a student. After all, he knew more than the students and could help them with their studies, so he was well-liked by them and had a lot of regular tickets every day.
He could have all these students send their money to Su Mian.
After the mother and son finished their conversation, they hung up the phone.
He was just about to get up and campaign for Su Mian.
Fang Nuonuo walked towards her.
" Teacher Gu, I'm sorry about what happened today, I..."
Gu Yichen said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I don't blame you, it's my own fault."
After saying that, he turned and left without saying another word.
Fang Nuonuo watched his departing figure, feeling depressed.
She knew that although Gu Yichen didn't blame her, he wouldn't have any good feelings towards her anymore.
He had lost another ally.
Fortunately, she still holds the top spot in votes as of now.
Nowadays, netizens have no memory; they only remember the present.
As long as she can retrieve the cultural relics and bring glory to the country, all her past actions can be whitewashed. At that point, she can simply leave the show and move on to the film and television industry.
She took out her phone to check the current vote count.
I just realized that Su Mian's votes have already overtaken her to second place!
Although she is currently more than fifty votes behind me, she never plays by the rules, and I'm really afraid that she will come up with some tricks to overtake me in a short time.
No, we must win the great honor of recovering these cultural relics!
Fang Nuonuo was racking her brains trying to figure out how to keep her number one position.
Suddenly I received a message from the school.
"We hope that the parent-teacher association representatives will organize an event to increase communication and exchange among students, parents, and the school, and we look forward to incorporating Eastern educational philosophies."
Fang Nuonuo received the best possible identity, so naturally she would also bear more responsibility.
Hold a parent-teacher meeting...
That's not difficult.
But just to be on the safe side, she decided to seek help from domestic education experts.
Her connections as a wealthy heiress are unmatched by most people.
Fang Nuonuo immediately called home.
I had my family airlift the best education experts in the country over overnight.
At the same time, she actively communicated with students' parents, inviting them to a meeting at the school the next day to experience the unique educational philosophy of the East.
-
Su Mian had a blast last night.
It wasn't until the next day that I saw the invitation Fang Nuonuo sent to all the parents in the parents' group chat.
She was Duan Hongxu's parent, and was naturally among those invited.
She saw that Fang Nuonuo had sent a very long string of messages.
"Dear parents, I have invited one of the most renowned education experts in the East to speak to you: Chief Education Strategy Advisor, Expert at the Institute of Educational Innovation, Educational Reform Expert, UNESCO Advisor, Lifelong Education Advocate, Founder of the Future Education Lab, Expert in Cross-disciplinary Technology Integration, Keynote Speaker at the Global Education Innovation Summit, Promoter of Educational Equity, Expert at the Youth Mental Health Development Association, and a Nationally Scarce Educational Talent..."
Su Mian didn't even have the patience to look at the list, and scrolled straight to the end.
"Everyone is welcome to come to school at 10:00 AM for the meet-and-greet event."
Seeing that it was almost time, Su Mian quickly got up and put on makeup.
As she left, she couldn't help but remark to her grandson, "Look at that, rich heiresses are really something. One phone call and they've gathered a whole plane full of experts."
-
When they arrived at the scene, they found out...
Only one expert came.
Su Mian put on her reading glasses and took a closer look.
Oh, so those eighty-odd titles all belong to this expert.
Soon, the experts began sharing their unique Eastern educational philosophies with the foreign students and parents in the auditorium.
"Children, do you know how much your parents have sacrificed to study in such a good school?"
These all sound very familiar; I used to hear them a lot during my school days.
Su Mian was getting drowsy listening to this.
What's going on with your show today? Are you telling us we're not going to listen to this stuff all day?
[This seems like a pyramid scheme. Where did you find this?]
[I'm not going to watch anymore, I'd rather go harvest the wheat.]
Su Mian fell asleep.
The expert suddenly became very passionate!
"Children, your parents, grandparents, have dedicated their lives to you! Their faces are etched with wrinkles from the passage of time, their hands calloused, all for you!"
"Now, shake hands with your parents, grandparents, and other family members!"
The background music has changed to. "I hope time slows down, so you don't get old anymore..."
Su Mian jolted awake, no longer sleepy.
He opened his eyes and saw Duan Hongxu sitting in front of him, trying not to laugh.
Duan Hongxu said, "Grandma, I shook it."
After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Su Mian's hand.
Su Mian abruptly pulled her hand back.
The expert then asked, "Children, when you hold their hands, does your heart ache?"
Duan Hongxu looked down at the cut on his palm from Su Mian's hand, and answered through the pain, "It hurts, it really hurts."
The experts astutely picked up on Duan Hongxu's words.
The foreign children and their parents here were laughing and joking the whole time, which almost drove him crazy.
Fortunately, this school also has students of Chinese descent!
People of Chinese descent can understand his ideas very well!
He immediately walked towards Duan Hongxu, shoving the microphone in his face. "Was it your grandmother's calluses that cut your delicate hands?"
If the student answers "yes," then the expert can then start by talking about how hard the grandmother works, making the children realize how much their parents have suffered for them, and making the children feel guilty.
But Duan Hongxu said, "No, it was my grandma's rhinestone nail art that cut my hand."
Su Mian immediately smiled and showed her colorful diamond nail art to the expert.
The parents present all had translators with them and understood the conversation, which made them burst into laughter.
Some fashionable mothers, in particular, have been showing off their manicures.
The expert was nearly breathless with rage at that old hag!
Why get a manicure at your age!
[Now I understand. This expert is trying to promote guilt-based education, isn't he?]
This is so characteristic of the East!
[I suddenly remembered when I was in school, a similar expert came to our school to give a lecture. I cried, and I even knelt down before my mom... But when I got home that day, my mom told me she was so embarrassed she was picking her toes.]
[Haha, Grandma rejected your guilt-inducing lecture and showed off her manicure!]
[(Sexy female cockroach showing off her nail art emoji)]
The expert took a deep breath.
It's alright, he still has a trump card!
This will surely awaken a sense of guilt in all the children in this school!
