Chapter 44 The Mayor's Guidance

  Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, there is only half a month left before the college entrance examination.

  One day, the school suddenly received a notice that the mayor was coming to guide the educational work. At that time, the school leaders held large and small meetings, and then notified them to carry out a major cleaning campaign to welcome the arrival of the mayor.

  Wang Baozi also received the director's notice, saying that a major sanitation campaign was to be carried out, and he hastily asked the students to put down their pens and assigned tasks for cleaning.

  Zhao Tong sat in his seat and glanced at Liu Yi, saying "Yi Ge, why do you think the mayor thought of coming to our place at this time?"

  Liu Yi retorted, "Isn't it like this every year at this time?"

  Zhao rubbed his head and laughed, saying "Haha, I really didn't have a big impression. You say the mayor comes at this time, isn't that causing trouble for us? Everyone is busy studying, he comes and it's like a chicken flying and dog jumping, people turning upside down."

  "Who says it's not? But think about it, our school is one of the key high schools in Beihai City after all. Every year, many graduates from our school are admitted to key universities. And wasn't last year's top scorer in the college entrance examination also from our school? I suppose the mayor came here to mobilize everyone and encourage us to do well on the exam and become pillars of the country."

  "Zhao Tong, Liu Yi, you two are also assigned to the third group, go sweep the green belt downstairs." Wang Huizi's voice interrupted the discussion between the two.

  Zhao Tong's chubby face showed a hint of bitterness as he handed two brooms to Liu Yi, saying "Yi Ge, let's go sweep the floor!"

  Liu Yi took over the broom and followed Zhao Tong's pace, and the two of them slowly walked towards the green belt.

  "Hey, don't go so fast, wait for us!" Hu Jingjing shouted from behind.

  Liu Yi turned his head and saw that Hu Jingjing and Liu Yiyi were also following with brooms.

  "We're also in groups of three, sweeping together, why are you walking so fast?" Liu Yiyi complained.

  Hu Cai also chimed in, "Exactly, exactly, you're not the leader of a daredevil squad, why are you walking so fast?"

  Zhao Tong looked at the expressions of the two people and whispered to Liu Yi, "Yi Ge, why do you think these two are always intentionally picking on you? We're not even walking fast!"

  Liu Yi glanced at Zhao Tong and shrugged his shoulders, showing a very helpless expression.

  Arriving at the green belt, Zhao Tong looked down and saw that there wasn't much trash on the ground, and couldn't help but exclaim "Is it necessary to have so many people for such a small place?" After finishing speaking, he tucked the broom between his legs and said to Liu Yi "Yi ge, do I look like Harry Potter like this? Haha!"

  Everyone was amused by Zhao Tong's silly appearance, and Liu Yi glanced at Zhao Tong "With your looks, you're still Harry Potter? More like stupid Harry!"

  Liu Yiyi also joked, "If Harry Potter were like you, his broomstick would have to be made of steel, or else it would collapse as soon as he sat on it!"

  Zhao Tong saw that everyone was mocking him, so he took a broom and swept the ground himself, muttering to himself "Look at me sweeping away the fallen leaves like autumn wind!"

  Liu Yi glanced at Zhao Tong and thought to herself, "Is this kid really mentally challenged? What autumn wind is he talking about in the spring and summer season?" However, seeing that Liu Ye didn't say anything else, she also stopped teasing Zhao Tong.

  They swept the ground with their brooms in a perfunctory manner, and soon finished cleaning this green belt which didn't have much trash to begin with.

  Zhao Tong was bored at this time, and he started to act foolishly again, waving the broom in his hand back and forth. Suddenly, a broom came flying straight towards Zhao Tong, and everyone saw that Wang Pangzi had arrived.

  Everyone saw Wang Baozi coming, so they pretended to be sweeping the floor seriously. Wang Baozi thought that the green belt was where many leaders parked their cars, and maybe the mayor would come soon and park his car here, so he had to sweep this side of the floor well, otherwise his bonus at the end of the month would be gone.

  But as soon as he went downstairs, Wang Baozi saw Zhao Tong waving a broom, and suddenly became furious. He picked up a nearby broom and rushed towards Zhao Tong, and then the previous scene happened again.

  Zhao Tong didn't disappoint, being a slow-tempered animal with long nerve endings. Seeing himself being smashed, he burst into a loud curse: "Who is it? Who the hell dares to smash me, are you tired of living?"

  Wang Pangzi heard that Zhao Tong still dared to be dissatisfied, and actually scolded and scolded, hurriedly walked over and shouted at Zhao Tong "What are you scolding? I hit you, aren't you convinced?"

  Zhao Tongyi saw that it was Wang Baozi, and knew that he had gotten into trouble this time. He quickly changed his expression: "Old classmate! What wind blew you here?"

  "Stop flattering me, am I old?" Wang Baozi said discontentedly.

  Zhao Tong hurriedly accompanied with a smile and said, "Head Teacher, you're not old at all! You're still young! It's normal for people to think we're brothers when they see us walking outside, haha!"

  Wang Pangzi seemed to be enjoying the flattery, nodding his head and saying "Alright, stop flattering me. This area must be thoroughly cleaned up, who knows, maybe the mayor will park here soon. It has to be spotless! And also pick up all the trash in the green belt's tree clusters, not a single piece can be left behind!"

  Zhao Tong nodded at Wang Baozi and trotted off with the broom to sweep the tree pile.

  "Liu Yi, you go and help Zhao Tong pick up the plastic bags inside!" Wang Baozi ordered Liu Yi.

  Liu Yiyi and Hu Jingjing also walked over to the thicket, using a broom to sweep out the trash inside.

  The sound of a horn rang out, and a black Volvo drove over, followed by two Passats. The three cars stopped neatly in the parking spaces next to Liu Yi and his group.

  A younger assistant-like person got off the car first, saw that Liu Yi and others were all students, and walked to Wang Dui's side to ask, "Where is your school leader? Why hasn't he come out to meet the mayor yet?"

  Wang Pangzi was taken aback, it turned out that the person in the car was the mayor. After regaining his composure, Wang Pangzi continued to nod and bow "Ah, I'm so sorry, I'll call the leaders right away!" He then ran towards the director's office.

  At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a suit also got off the car and said to the assistant, "Be polite to others, we just came to inspect the work, no need to make so much fuss!" It was obvious that he was the mayor.

  The other two Passats also stopped and the leaders got out of the cars, surrounding the mayor, intending to accompany him on his inspection.

  The mayor also saw Liu Yike and others who were sweeping the floor, so he walked over and asked, "Young students, why aren't you going to self-study, but instead are sweeping the floor?"

  Zhao said straightforwardly, "Isn't this just welcoming a few leaders for inspection?"

  At this time, the director came over with the principal, panting and scolding Zhao, "What are you talking about? We're beautifying the campus, don't you understand?"

  Zhao Tong could only shut his mouth and give up, rolling his eyes at the director.

  The mayor saw the school leaders arrive and went up to greet them, and several people started talking in official tones.
