C59 (1/2)
The school hadn't even started classes yet, so the school gates weren't closed yet. With this, we successfully left the school. When our group arrived outside the campus, Changhai and the rest jumped up in joy.
I immediately stopped them and said, ”Alright, if anyone is crazy again, go back and properly teach. If they don't want to go back and suffer, then behave. Do you hear me?”
When everyone heard my words and saw how strict I was, they all gathered around me. Changhai rubbed his head and asked embarrassedly, ”Team leader, what should we do next?”
I looked at them doubtfully as everyone stared at me, waiting for my reply. I helplessly shook my head and angrily asked, ”Aren't you all muddle-headed? Didn't I already say that when we left the classroom? I'm going to take you to the city library. All of you have turned into pigs heads, but my medicine was really in vain. How could I be willing to give it to all of you to eat?
Yang Jun and the others immediately replied, ”Sure, we were afraid that you would have other plans, weren't we? If you say so, then we'll go there. Fine, we'll go to the library now.
Seeing how nervous they were, I felt much better. It turns out that they didn't take my words seriously. I nodded and said, ”That's fine. Changhai, bring everyone to the library. I'll go make the arrangements first. You guys hurry over here.”
Changhai nodded, ”Okay, don't worry. I promise I'll bring everyone here safely. Team leader, how will you be going?”
I looked at Tingting and Xue Ying, and the two of them immediately understood what was going on. They immediately said, ”Ah Elder Brother Long, we want to go with you, you must bring us along.”
I nodded. ”Alright, I'll bring you guys along. You guys can go and wait for me first.” Then he said to Changhai and the others, ”I'll take them on the bus. I don't care about what you guys will be riding on. It's time to let you guys exercise for a bit. Alright, I'll be going now. You guys hurry up.” I turned and walked back to the car.
The long hippocampus is organizing the rest of the members, ready to go.
When I came to the stop and got in the car with Tingting and Xue Ying, I heard Changhai and the others shouting, ”Team Leader, wait, whose car is that? We'll take a look at you before we go.”
Seeing a bunch of madmen rushing towards me, am I that stupid? I'm still waiting for you, if I wait for you guys to come, I won't need to drive anymore. I guarantee that this car will be scrapped, so I immediately started the car and quickly drove away. Leaving behind a chortle of curses, I laughed and continued on my way to the city library.
Arriving at the city library and parking the car properly, the three of us got out of the car and went to the administration office on the fourth floor. We found the curator of the library, an old woman in her fifties.
Seeing the three of us walk in, the curator curiously asked, ”Little classmate, what business do you have with me?”
Looking at the fifty year old gray-haired old man in front of me, I hurriedly said politely, ”Director, it's like this. We are students from No. 3 High School, and we want to read some books outside of class to enrich our horizons. Anyone who wants to borrow your library card will be able to do so.”
The curator curiously studied us for a long time, then looked at me and Tingting and the rest of us. He shook his head and asked, ”You guys should be in class now, why did you suddenly come here? Did you come out with the school's permission?”
I hurriedly nodded, ”Of course, we had a leave of absence from our teacher. Not only the three of us, there are also more than ten students behind us. We just want to find some books that we like so that we can prepare for our future ambition. Director, please help us with that.”
The curator observed the three of us for a while. Seeing that my expression was sincere and not like I was lying, he nodded and said, ”Alright, since you all have this kind of ambition, is that really good? Wait a while, I'll get someone to go through the loan procedures for you guys.” After saying that, he picked up the phone and called a twenty-five-year-old female secretary. He said to the female secretary: ”Xiao Wang, lead these students to go through the loan procedures so that they can borrow the books that they want to read.” After he finished speaking, he said to the three of us, ”My friends, you should cherish this opportunity well, don't waste your time, since I have given you this special exception, you should cherish it well. You and the Xiao Wang go ahead, she will lead you through the relevant procedures.”
I hurriedly nodded my head in thanks. ”Thank you, Director. We know what to do. We won't disappoint you. Don't worry, Director. We'll head out with this sister. Thank you. We won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye.”
The curator nodded in praise. ”Alright, goodbye. If you need anything, you can come and find me.”
I nodded. ”Alright! Thank you, Director. If you need anything, I will trouble you. Goodbye.”
When the few of us came out, I said to Xue Ying, ”Xue Ying, wait for Changhai at the entrance. If they come, bring them to find us.”
Xue Ying nodded and went downstairs. Tingting and I followed Secretary Wang to the office next door. She brought out some related documents for Tingting and me to fill in. After filling them in, we handed them to her. She looked at it and said, ”Did you bring the photo? Give me the picture. ”
I hurriedly apologized, ”Big Sis, we came in a hurry, so we haven't had the time to take a look. How about this? Let's read a book here first. We'll take a snapshot when it's time for lunch. Can you take a look? ”
Xiao Wang looked at us and laughed: ”Hehe, sure, little brother, is your mouth sweet? ”Alright, since you guys are the ones specially approved by the Director, I won't bother you guys. Can you bring me the pictures this afternoon?”
I immediately nodded: ”Okay Big Sis, we will definitely bring all the photos in the afternoon, what formalities does Big Sis need?”
Xiao Wang replied: Nothing else is fine, but each person still has to pay a hundred yuan as deposit. Have you brought it with you?
I immediately took out two thousand yuan: ”I brought it with me. There's a total of fifteen of us, fifteen hundred right? I'll give this to your Big Sis.”
When Xiao Wang saw me take out two thousand yuan in a single go, he immediately looked me up and down in curiosity. After a long time, he said, ”I didn't know that you were actually so generous to take out two thousand yuan in such a short time. Your parents were so willing to let you spend your money, could it be that you stole it from your home?”
I immediately objected, ”What? How could I steal it from home? Besides, it's impossible for me to steal money from home. Why don't I bring it to the restaurant? Can I even come here to look for a book?”
Hearing what I said made a lot of sense, Xiao Wang nodded his head and said, ”That's true. If it was really like that, I wouldn't have come here. Then, he took out the paper and gave it to Tingting and me first.
In a moment, Xue Ying arrived with a large group of people, all of them immediately turned towards me, seeing their postures, how could I not know what they were trying to do! Before they could even open their mouth, I said, ”Don't talk, whoever wants to study here must follow the rules. If anyone makes a ruckus and disturb others, hehe, don't blame me, I'll immediately do your own procedures. I've already paid for the deposit, Tingting and I will go downstairs to read first. You guys can deal with it slowly and quickly and charge for the books you like.” After saying that, I said goodbye to Secretary Wang and went downstairs with Tingting.
Long Hai and the others didn't even say what they wanted to say. They had no choice but to go through the formalities.
Tingting and I went to the library on the second floor. The library on the second floor was very spacious and contained all of the basic and intermediate specialized books for each department. If we wanted to read higher level academic works, we would have to go to the third floor. There were very few people who were reading on this level now, there were only a few staff members and two or three people in the huge lending hall. Tingting and I found a place to read the books we liked, of course I chose books on music and dance, and after I found it, I started to read it gloomily, to say that I was reading it or flipping through it, but the book was finished after a while in my hands and the contents were clearly recorded in my head.
I continued to flip through the books one by one, and after flipping through the piles of books, I would choose a few more. I was completely immersed in the joy of reading, and even I did not know when Xue Ying, Changhai, and the others had arrived.
Everyone was attracted by the books here, and they all picked the books that they wanted to read. Changhai read books related to the manufacture of cars, of course, Zhang Zhaoyang read some books related to military affairs, Nangong Xiaohua studied medicine, Chen Hui read about nutrition products and the market, Shi Shaoyang read about drugs and the drug control, Duan Yu read books related to foreign trade, Yang Jun chose to read about botany, Tingting selected the books related to the administration of industry, Xue Ying read the books related to laws, regulations and codes, Jin Hailong studied the field of defense, and Chen Chaowei selected the books related to environmental protection.
Because their brains were developed in ways that were not as exaggerated as my books, they did not read as fast as I did, almost to the point of turning over a photocopy.
For a moment, the reading room seemed much more lively than before, but after a while, the librarian was flabbergasted. He saw sixteen or seventeen year old students going back and forth to the bookshelves to change books, and each time, there were two or more thick books, each of them containing more than ten thick books. Not long after, these dozen or so books were completely flipped through in front of these kids, then they were picked up again, as if they were looking for something.
A good manager actually ran over to the curator to report on the situation. The curator even came down to take a look. She took the initiative to look for me and asked curiously, ”Little friend, are you looking for something?”
I raised my head and saw that the curator was curiously asking me. I immediately stood up and replied in puzzlement, ”No, we weren't looking for anything. Aren't we all reading?” What's wrong, Director? Is there a problem? ”
Seeing my puzzled expression, the curator knew that I wasn't lying so he hurriedly shook his head and said, ”Oh, it's nothing. It's just that your reading speed is a little too fast. We thought you guys were looking for something.
I hurriedly nodded. ”Oh, I understand. Thank you for your reminder, Director. We know what to do. Thank you for your age. I am truly sorry for disturbing your work for our matter.”
