Director Huang’s appearance made Jiang Xue pause. Mr. Chen and Mu Qiancheng frowned and exchanged a deep glance.
However, Director Huang didn’t notice at all that their expressions had changed. After shaking hands with Jiang Xue, he sat directly on the sofa and said, "Jiang Xue, you’ve really brought honor to our county."
Jiang Xue smiled, realizing that Director Huang was referring to her good self-study exam results. But even if she did well, there was no need for Director Huang to be like this.
"Director Huang, I wonder why you called here today?" Jiang Xue asked, wanting to know what had made Director Huang so excited.
"Jiang Xue, it’s like this: you did exceptionally well this ti. Not only have the city leaders noticed, but even the provincial leaders are aware. The higher-ups instructed us that you’re a promising talent and should be well cultivated, so they’re recomnding you be sent to Nan University for further studies."
"Nan University?" Jiang Xue was stunned. Nan University is in South City, which is the Jiang family’s territory.
"Yes, Nan University in South City, our province’s most renowned university. Getting a chance to study there is a rare opportunity."
"This?" Jiang Xue hesitated. She never imagined she would have a chance to go to university. This was like a blessing in disguise, an unexpected fortune.
"Jiang Xue, this opportunity is rare; others can’t even get it if they try. You should consider it carefully. If you decide, just call . Then I’ll issue a certificate, and you can go directly to Nan University."
"Okay, I’ll think about it."
After discussing the main matter, Director Huang and Mr. Chen chatted for a while longer until soone ca to find him, and they all took their leave. Leaving the education bureau, they strolled back to Chen’s house.
On the road, Mr. Chen said to Jiang Xue, "Jiang Xue, you should seriously consider what Director Huang ntioned. You’re still young; learning more knowledge can only benefit you."
"Mr. Chen, I understand!" Jiang Xue nodded. Attending university had always been her dream. But she hadn’t gone because circumstances didn’t allow it.
Now that she finally had the opportunity, she didn’t want to miss it. But if she went to school, what about Little Reunion? She couldn’t possibly take him to university.
If she left Little Reunion at ho, Jiang Xue felt uneasy. That’s why she hadn’t imdiately agreed with Director Huang.
Moreover, she needed to discuss this matter carefully with Mu Qiancheng.
After Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng took Mr. Chen ho, they said their goodbyes. The couple drove around the county for a bit before heading back to the city.
Sitting in the car, Jiang Xue remained silent. Mu Qiancheng, driving, found it inconvenient to talk. Also, he didn’t know what to say. He wanted Jiang Xue to pursue her studies but worried about their child.
If he was often at ho, it would be easier; he could take care of the child while Jiang Xue went to school. But he had to go on assignnts from ti to ti, even less available than Jiang Xue.
He felt uncomfortable leaving the child with the elderly at ho.
Because of this, Jiang Xue decided not to visit Shangguan Wenbin as she had planned and instead went directly ho.
At ho, her parents were having dinner. Seeing them return, they imdiately asked, "Have you eaten?"
The couple shook their heads, then carried the child directly into the parents’ house.
As soon as Mrs. Jiang saw that they hadn’t eaten, she quickly fetched two sets of bowls and chopsticks. Luckily, she had cooked enough rice, or they would have gone hungry.
