Chapter 24 - Giving You Another Poem! (1/2)
Zhang Ye sat in front of the computer, watching the praises given to him online. Past 10 A.M., a commotion sounded out outside the Literature Channel’s office area. It was quite loud!
“Let us in! I want to find Teacher Zhang Ye!”
“This is an office. This place is restricted for non-staff!”
“We just want to say a few words and leave. We definitely won’t give you trouble!”
“That still will not work. Go to the registration desk and wait for a while. Make an appointment first!”
After some pus.h.i.+ng and shoving, a man and woman squeezed their way in. A security guard was half-heartedly blocking them, which many people could tell. Maybe it was due to a small meeting having just ended, but there were several Music and Traffic Channel staff who were walking past. They were curious over what was happening. Finally, even Zhao Guozhou was startled by this commotion as he came out of his office to probe the issue.
“What’s going on?” Zhao Guozhou frowned.
“They are adamant about coming in! They refuse to listen to what I have to say!” the security guard explained.
“We want to find Teacher Zhang Ye! Just letting us meet with him once would do! Just once!” the male-female duo shouted.
Upon seeing the situation, Zhang Ye had no choice but to stop the work on his hands and squeeze through the crowd, “I’m Zhang Ye. Who are you?”
They rushed up and tightly held Zhang Ye’s hands, “Teacher Zhang! Thank you! Thank you! You are Xiaoli’s benefactor! You are also my benefactor! I want to thank you! Thank you!” As he said this, tears welled up in his eyes. It was not easy for men to cry, so this scene looked odd.
Zhang Ye was flabbergasted, “What benefactor?”
The quiet girl beside also started crying after seeing her boyfriend cry, “Teacher Zhang, I’m Xiaoli. If it weren’t for the two poems of yours yesterday, I might have…”
Everyone immediately had a moment of realization!
Zhang Ye also understood, “It’s you. Is this the boyfriend you mentioned? Don’t cry. All of you, don’t cry!”
The man had tears of remorse, “I only knew about it yesterday night. If you have not persuaded Xiaoli, we would have been separated, forever in different worlds! You are our family’s benefactor!”
Xiaoli suddenly opened her bag and took out a long red banner, “This was rushed by my parents to be made overnight.” Her boyfriend stepped forward quickly and pulled it open!
Shua!
The banner spread out in front of everyone!
“Grat.i.tude of one speech, in mind for life”!
With that, the two of them stood properly and bowed deeply to Zhang Ye!
Such a situation moved Zhang Ye greatly as he helped them up, “To think you went through the trouble. There is really no need to. There is really no need. I didn’t do much. All that matters is if you healthily and safely live on. Hehe, you are not fighting anymore? Have you discussed it well?”
The man bit his lip, “I’ve thought it through; I’m not going overseas!”
Xiaoli exclaimed, “No way! Your parents have already arranged it for you!”
“Who says one can only be successful in one’s career by studying abroad? I can develop myself domestically, too. I will explain it to my parents. It’s alright, even if they do not agree. I will convince them. I will stay behind and accompany you. Once I graduate, we will get married!” the man said with determination.
However, Xiaoli remained resolute, “Definitely not! You have to go! Even if you don’t want to! I have already thought it through; I will wait for you. I’ll wait for you, no matter how long it takes!”
“Xiaoli!” The man’s eyes turned red again!
Xiaoli gently hugged him, “As long as you are well, I’ll be fine with anything!”
Upon seeing this scene, many people in the office clapped in their hearts. The power of love was always infectious.
“Isn’t this good.” Zhang Ye laughed.
Zhao Guozhou also said, “Next time, be well. Don’t do something stupid.”
Xiaoli said embarra.s.singly, “I won’t. I’m fine as long as he lives well. I will not make him worried ever again.”
Suddenly, someone made a suggestion, “Teacher Little Zhang, give them another poem.”
