Chapter 218 Overkill
“There are no boys, I don’t know them well. I’ve told the girls. But it will take some time before the clothes from my godfather’s factory are produced and put on the shelves in Yunlai Shopping Mall, so I’m also the brand ambassador for Little Sun Clothing.” Ting Nan chuckled to herself as she spoke.
Song Chuyan sized up Tingnan. This child was thirteen years old now, already over 1.65 meters tall, and likely to surpass 1.7 meters. Because of his martial arts training, he was tall and slender, standing upright in the crowd like a poplar tree, making him particularly eye-catching.
Her delicate features and fair skin hinted that she was a martial artist. Her short, glossy black hair, reaching to her ears, highlighted her clear, bright eyes, adding to her intelligence and shrewdness.
Fortunately, she's always been aloof, and it's hard to get her attention if you're not familiar with her. I heard she only made one friend during her three years of junior high—Tao Huahua. Although she had a suitor, she chased him away herself. This girl is still someone you can trust.
"Oh, right, Uncle, let's not go shopping at Yunlai Shopping Mall. The clothes there are the most beautiful ones produced by my godfather's factory, and we already have them. Let's go shopping somewhere else." Ting Nan was still babbling on, unaware of what her uncle was focusing on.
Song Tingnan didn't have many classmates, only twenty in her class. Only wealthy families could afford to send their children to high school, and high school graduates were considered top talents, which is why Tingnan was able to smoothly enter the city's No. 1 High School.
Back then, after graduating from junior high school, most people went to vocational high schools. After graduating from vocational high schools, the government would assign them jobs, such as becoming teachers or civil servants. Some would go to technical schools, and with a skill, they could get into factories, secure a stable job, and be valued. If they seized the opportunity, they could even become factory leaders.
This is also why Song Yi's parents thought they would get engaged when Song Yi was seventeen and graduated from junior high school—two junior high school graduates would have two good jobs, so money would naturally follow. With money and fame, how could the family not prosper?
It's a pity that Song Wanli, who is usually stingy, actually supported his adopted daughter to continue attending high school, and even tactfully refused their "good family" status. This is something the village chief and his wife still don't understand. They'll be working sooner or later anyway, so why not start earning a salary sooner?
Far away in Anxi City, Song Tingnan was oblivious to everything else, focusing on her studies both inside and outside the classroom. She loved the school library and planned to read all the books in it within a year.
Her favorite teacher was Mrs. Smith, the foreign English teacher, whose husband was a diplomat. Whether in or out of class, she especially liked calling on Song Tingnan because they could chat entirely in English. For a first-year high school student to reach this level, she was curious about Tingnan's parents. Tingnan said, "My uncle speaks very good English," which made her even more eager for the parent-teacher meeting.
On the day of the parent-teacher conference, when Mrs. Smith saw the handsome and dashing Song Yanchu, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. No wonder Song Tingnan was so outstanding; her uncle's appearance and level even surpassed her husband's.
After some conversation, when she heard that Song Yanchu was now just a tutor, she exclaimed, "A big fish in a small pond!"... and then walked away, clicking away in her low-heeled leather shoes.
Song Yanchu felt a little disappointed. He had once been full of ambition, but... he hadn't worked for many years.
The parent-teacher meeting went smoothly, and Song Yanchu was very happy—the teacher praised Song Tingnan, and his slight disappointment disappeared. There was a successor, and it was time to properly nurture Tingnan.
Where is Song Tingnan? She was a little angry. For some reason, a strange wind had blown through the campus, and someone actually said that the Nanjing Massacre was completely exaggerated. He also said that he had investigated the relevant data and that there were no 30 people in Nanjing at that time, and that the Japanese army could not possibly have killed 30 Nanjing people.
I don't know where he found the information, but it is obviously inaccurate. At that time, there were nearly 10 troops defending Nanjing alone, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the city. The number of Nanjing people killed by the Japanese army was no less than, and may even have exceeded 40!
