Chapter 201 Precious Grandson (2)_1
"Baby, wake up. Go eat your breakfast quickly. Once you’ve finished breakfast, I’ll call the education bureau to check your test scores for you," Old Master Situ said as soon as he saw Situ Xin, tossing aside the chess piece in his hand.
The scores for the middle school examination could be queried tonight. But what status did Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo have? They wouldn’t follow the usual procedures. A simple phone call to the Education Bureau would do.
What Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo didn’t know was that at this very moment, the Director of the Education Bureau was holding the middle school exam score report for the children of the various military districts in the Capital City, waiting for calls from those leaders. He had wanted to call those leaders himself, but with his current status, he didn’t have the privilege.
"Grandfather, Grandpa, you two can make the call. Don’t wait for me," Situ Xin said as she took her seat, which Situ Jin had pulled out for her, and after taking a sip of her seafood porridge, she looked up and spoke. Situ Xin wasn’t really interested in her middle school examination scores; anyway, she could roughly estimate her own results.
"Okay, then we’ll make the call," said Old Master Situ. Now that Situ Xin had come downstairs, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo simply gave up playing chess and picked up the phone to dial the Director of the Education Bureau.
"Hello, good morning," the Director of the Education Bureau answered the phone with respectful deference. This wasn’t the first call of the day, and the previous calls had made him wipe his forehead several times already.
None of these were ordinary children; they were the sons and daughters of leaders, pampered and spoiled from birth. Needless to say, children accustomed to being spoiled wouldn’t have outstanding achievements. Hence, when these leaders heard their children’s scores, their tone would instantly change. Many prompts on his audit were made. The Director of the Education Bureau was extremely worried that these scores might become grounds for leaders to accuse him of lack of diligence and cost him his position.
"Hello, is this Director Ma of the Education Bureau?" Old Master Situ, although confident in his grandchild’s intelligence, was a bit nervous as he held the receiver. Old Master Loo, who was watching Old Master Situ make the call, was also very nervous.
While the two old masters were nervous, Situ Xin was focused on the taste of her seafood porridge, thinking to herself that her grandmother’s cooking skills had improved a lot. Situ Jin, though also eating porridge, was paying attention to the actions of his grandfather and grandpa.
"This is him, hello. How may I assist you?" It was only today, knowing that military district leaders were making calls, that Director Ma was so respectfully polite, even using honorifics; if it were any other day, the tone would be completely different.
"I am Situ Xin and Situ Jin’s guardian. Could you check their middle school examination scores for me?" Old Master Situ wasn’t one to beat around the bush, and he didn’t have the patience right now anyhow.
