Chapter 704 Enrollment
"Student Lin Guyu, welcome to Xinya High School,"
In front of the main gate of Xinya High School, the principal, the school board and the head teacher stood at the school gate.
As soon as the car carrying Gu Yu arrived, he immediately came to greet them with enthusiasm, a bright smile on his face.
I was careful not to be too flattering in my words, after all, I was facing a 16-year-old high school student.
Of course, this group of people would not really regard Gu Yu as an ordinary student in Xinya High School.
Even Gu Yu's own literary achievements deserved their polite respect.
Not to mention Gu Yu's family background. Gu Yu's grandfather had just retired from the position of Minister of Education, as well as the network of relationships formed with the Lin family and the Yin family as the center.
"Principal, teachers, please take care of me in the future,"
Gu Yu appeared polite and bowed slightly. He still had to observe the superficial etiquette.
"Haha, Gu Yuxi is too polite. No matter what happens in school in the future, you can find Principal Jin or come to me directly.
We will do our best to help you solve your worries and provide a good learning environment."
Standing next to Principal Jin, wearing a suit, middle-aged and fat, with a beer belly, a very smart bald head, a naive and friendly look,
"Oh, this is Director Park. He knew that Gu Yuxi was going to enroll today, so he put aside his official duties and came here to welcome you in person."
Principal Jin knew how to behave in society and quickly introduced him to Gu Yu.
"That's troublesome,"
Gu Yu smiled and bowed slightly to Director Park.
"No, no, Gu Yuxi, let's go in,"
President Park's smile deepened and he became more enthusiastic. He led Gu Yu to the principal's office and introduced the facilities and history of Xinya High School to Gu Yu on the way.
Principal Jin and the school teachers and administrative staff who followed him didn't have much chance to get a word in.
After sitting in the principal's office for a while, since there were no other people around, Director Park and Principal Jin became Gu Yu's fans.
The difference is that as a cultured person, Principal Jin is still not thick-skinned enough. He used the excuse that his granddaughter really liked Gu Yu's fairy tale that won the Newbery Children's Literature Award.
President Park, holding Gu Yu's award-winning work "Files of Missing Children", praised Gu Yu with great admiration and admiration, just like the Yellow River flowing from the sky to the sea and never returning.
Gu Yu remained calm and composed throughout the whole process. After signing the two books, "The Archives of Missing Children" and "The Last Cuentista", he said that it was time to go to the classroom.
In fact, more than three months have passed since the start of the first year of high school. Before that, Gu Yu was not in China, busy with the Dublin Literature Prize, which was to be announced in mid-to-late January.
Gu Yu's works are all published and distributed by Penguin Random House. Similarly, various literary awards are also handled by Penguin Random House.
Last March, Gu Yu's new work "The Lost Children's Archives" was nominated for the International Booker Prize, but ultimately lost the award due to Gu Yu's age, race, and competitors.
The sales of this type of subject matter are generally not high, so Gu Yu's purpose from the beginning was to win awards. Penguin Random House, as a publisher, was motivated by money and fame, which was consistent with Gu Yu's interests.
Since I failed to win the International Booker Prize, I will strive for the Dublin Prize, which is also a world-renowned and influential literary award.
Penguin Random House was fully prepared this time. Gu Yu, as a writer, worked with the publisher on public relations.
After being recommended by Harvard University Library and New York Public Library and entering the shortlist, I visited many judges and the mayor and library director of Dublin, Ireland.
Gu Yu is guaranteed to win the award under the condition of similar level.
Penguin Random House also has a promotional and sales plan. When the Dublin Literary Prize is announced, Gu Yu will step to the front, facing the public and solidifying his reputation as a talented writer.
Penguin Random House predicts that at least in Asia, there will be a significant increase in sales in Japan and South Korea.
As the discoverer and long-term partner of Gu Yu, Penguin Random House will also gain more recognition from the industry and increase its popularity outside.
"Teacher Wu, excuse me,"
Although Gu Yu said that he didn't need to be accompanied, Director Park and Principal Jin insisted again and again, and called Gu Yu's class teacher.
The group soon arrived at the door of Class A of Grade 1 in the teaching building. Principal Jin called out the teacher who was standing on the podium and talking loudly.
"Everyone study on your own first,"
Noticing the people coming into the corridor, especially Gu Yu, who was standing in the center among a group of adults wearing school uniform, the students in Class A curiously poked their heads out to look at him, and some even whispered to the people around them.
"This is Lin Guyu, who will be enrolled in Class A of Grade 1 starting today. This is Mr. Wu, the history teacher."
The head teacher, Ms. Jin, was a female teacher, probably in her 30s or 40s, with an average build and appearance. She was not very tall, less than 1.6 meters tall, and wore a professional suit.
He is quite friendly, not a strict teacher, and has a strong sense of bookishness. He communicates with Gu Yu on an equal footing and is calm, unlike Principal Jin and Director Park who are deliberately enthusiastic.
"Lin Guyu, welcome to Class A,"
Teacher Wu's attitude was similar to that of Principal Park. She smiled brightly and bowed unconsciously. It was as if the identities of student and teacher had been reversed.
This middle-aged male teacher dressed up seriously today. His leather shoes were polished to a shine, and he was wearing all branded clothes.
His hair is visibly thin, his face is sparse, his eyes squint when he smiles, and he looks vulgar.
"Hello, Mr. Wu. If you have any questions about your studies in the future, please feel free to give me your guidance."
Gu Yu smiled and said hello.
"Of course, of course, Lin Guyu can always come to me if you have any questions. The teacher is very confident about improving your history grades..."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Wu smiled so hard that her mouth almost split open, and responded enthusiastically,
"I'll take Lin Guyu in to introduce himself and arrange seats for him. Don't stand in the corridor all the time."
The head teacher, Mr. Jin, interrupted Mr. Wu's conversation with a legitimate reason, bowed politely to the principal and the school board, and walked into the classroom first.
"Gu Yuxi, we are leaving now. I wish you good luck with your studies," said President Park with a smile. He made eye contact with Teacher Wu and then turned around and left with a group of people.
Gu Yu nodded to Teacher Wu in a friendly manner and entered the classroom.
I thought to myself, fortunately I refused to let my grandparents accompany me, otherwise today's welcome ceremony would be even more lively and hypocritical.
"My name is Lin Guyu. In the future, I will work hard for our dreams and goals with all my classmates. I look forward to becoming friends with you all..."
Gu Yu, who was sixteen years old, had a handsome appearance, a tall figure, and a height of 1.8 meters. He was sunny and handsome, had a clear voice, and his school uniform could not hide his nobleness.
The boys immediately became alarmed, while the girls in the class were all beaming with joy.
The girl in the middle of the first row, with long straight black hair and a cute flower-patterned headband, has a pure face, but her cheekbones are a little prominent, her eyebrows are long and narrow, and she looks hard to get close to.
At this moment, the girl looked up at Gu Yu who was talking, and suddenly their eyes met. Her bright eyes burst into an inexplicable brilliance.
