Chapter 1533: Chapter 736: Cooperation Among Villagers - Paper Airplane_3
"My cousin got accepted by that foreign University of the Big Bridge, the one those foreigners mentioned last time when they came here. I’m telling you, the admission letter has already been sent over, I saw it myself," Lin Haihu said mysteriously. "Guess if my cousin will go?"
"Which University of the Big Bridge?" Zhang Kun was a bit confused, then suddenly his eyes widened. "You mean... Cambridge University?"
"Yes, yes, yes, that’s Cambridge," Lin Haihu, who was usually clueless, finally ’remembered’. "It’s because of those two scorpions my cousin found, said to be some new species. He even wrote a paper and got published, and they just accepted him like that. These foreign universities are really careless these days, they just accept someone for writing an article, barely resembling a university..."
Zhang Kun couldn’t care about Lin Haihu’s jealous remarks anymore, he shouted over the phone: "I’ll be right there, old rules, remember to put in a good word for me so your cousin agrees to my interview. I’ll call you when I’m nearly there, money when we meet..."
Casually packing a couple of things, he was excitedly ready to head straight to Sancha River. Just after two steps, he felt something was off, patted his pocket and quickly rushed into the editor’s office: "Boss, I got some news, I need to go to Sancha River. It’s about Boss Yan being exceptionally admitted by Cambridge University, the admission letter has arrived, I just received the news, I must hurry over..."
"What?" The boss was obviously a bit startled. "Are you joking? Boss Yan was admitted by Cambridge University? Hahaha, we actually have someone accepted by a prestigious foreign university... Are you serious?"
"Of course, it’s true," Zhang Kun was very anxious. "It’s about the recent hot news, Boss Yan discovering a new species, those foreigners had invited him, and now the admission letter has arrived!"
"Then why are you still here telling me, hurry up!" The boss suddenly became even more anxious than him. "You couldn’t report this over the phone while on your way? Awareness, man, don’t you have a journalist’s awareness? Hurry up..."
"I was coming to ask for some money for the news payment, I’m running short," Zhang Kun said shamelessly. "I was also thinking of renting a car to get there faster..."
"Why rent a car, just get ready quickly and go down, I’ll call Laosi to drive you there..." The boss immediately decided.
Zhang Kun was also delighted upon hearing this, cheerfully walking out: Going out for coverage wasn’t a new thing for him, but having the boss offer the company’s car for the trip, that wasn’t easy!
"Hold on, hold on." He hadn’t gotten far when he was called back by the boss again. "Are you sure about this news? Can you guarantee there will be absolutely no mistake?"
"Definitely no mistake, to tell you the truth, my informant is Boss Yan’s cousin, always keeping an eye out for me there..." At this moment, Zhang Kun could only choose to trust Lin Haihu, hoping this guy wouldn’t mess things up.
"Then go ahead, check if your phone has battery, and make sure to confirm everything once you arrive, remember to call me back as soon as possible... a text message will do. Such significant news, I must report it to the higher-ups," the boss instructed.
"Report this?" Zhang Kun muttered to himself but didn’t voice it out loud.
As he reached the door, he realized, this is what they call... awareness! After all, it’s the boss, hearing such news and knowing to report, unlike me, still lacking in awareness!
Though it seemed like the admission letter was only Boss Yan’s personal matter, merely going to a university after all. But the situation should not be seen so simply, it must be viewed comprehensively and from the big picture.
In Wancheng City over the years, there have been several top scorers in the national college entrance exams, but none directly exceptionally admitted by a foreign university. It’s like in ancient times in some region, where there were always local scholars passing exams, but one year suddenly producing a top scholar, that’s different, it must be well publicized.
Everyone understands the reason, ’education’ means a lot more than just ’education’ itself. Top scorers are common every year, but an exceptional admission by a prestigious foreign university, that’s an event worth boasting about for years if it happens once in several years.
By the time Zhang Kun excitedly reached Sancha River Township, it wasn’t just him and the driver Laosi anymore, but four people— the boss hadn’t let him go downstairs before calling him back and even brought an assistant to go along.
After handing over the ’news fee’ to Lin Haihu, the bashful Lin Haihu led them to find Yan Fei: "Cousin, where’s the admission letter, show it to Brother Kun!"
Yan Fei understood what was happening as soon as he saw them: "I wasn’t planning to go, I threw it away."
His attitude was quite firm, especially as Xu Xiaoyan was seemingly playing with Xiaochao on the side, but actually kept glancing over!
Lin Haihu was sometimes a bit afraid of his cousin, but at this moment, with three large banknotes in his pocket, he was full of energy: "Even if you’re not going, just show it, it’s just a letter, are you afraid it can’t be seen?"
"Yeah, Brother Fei, you see I’ve come all the way, this is really a good thing, even if you don’t let me see it now, later some higher-ups will definitely want you to show it to everyone," Zhang Kun said with a flattering smile on the side. "It would be trouble then, isn’t it? Better let me have a look, the news can’t be hidden anyway."
"Yes, yes, Boss Yan, such a big event has never happened in our area before!" the boss also spoke up. "After all, we’ve all come, taking a look isn’t a bad thing, better us coming forward than others causing a mess later!"
Boss Yan was really helpless, calling out to Xiaochao playing with a paper plane in the distance: "Xiaochao, bring your plane over, show it to these... big brothers."
The boss didn’t mind being called ’big brother’ by a child despite being well into his forties, and as he watched the paper plane wobbling in the air, his eyes nearly popped out—My goodness, that’s the Cambridge University admission letter, and you let your little brother turn it into a paper plane?
