After all, Da Bao was already in the second grade, and his father had not yet attended any of his parent-teacher meetings.
If his wife had time, she would definitely attend Da Bao’s parent-teacher meetings.
"I’ll attend your parent-teacher meeting."
The light in Da Bao’s eyes suddenly shone brightly, "Dad, really?"
He was still a child, easily satisfied indeed.
"Yes, I’ll attend your parent-teacher meeting."
Xiao Bao looked at his brother, then at his father. He also wanted his father to attend his parent-teacher meeting, but it seemed their school did not have parent-teacher meetings.
Zhao Tianlei, not wanting to embarrass Da Bao, made sure to dress neatly before heading to the school.
Business was good in both the garment factory and the electronics store. If they really needed to buy a car, they could manage it by tightening their belts, but Zhao Tianlei and Yun Xiaoxiao had not bought a car. Instead, they invested the money in other properties and machinery.
He wore a low-profile black down jacket and a pair of genuine leather Martin boots on his feet.
However, the down jacket was recognized as soon as he arrived at the school, even before reaching the classroom door.
"Isn’t that the popular down jacket from Yuntian Clothing Store?"
Indeed, it wasn’t cheap.
When Zhao Tianlei was led by Da Bao to the classroom and sat in Da Bao’s seat, he realized there were not many young men in the class—mostly women, probably the mothers or grandmothers of the children.
When Teacher Peng saw Zhao Tianlei sitting in Da Bao’s seat, she was taken aback. Most of the time, she had seen Da Bao’s mother picking up and dropping off the child, rarely Da Bao’s father.
There were still two parents missing from the class, and it looked like they were not going to come.
As the homeroom teacher, Teacher Peng often interacted with the students’ parents and was aware that some parents were overly biased towards sons.
"Welcome parents to this parent-teacher meeting..."
Today, Teacher Peng held this parent-teacher meeting to discuss the children’s academic performance since the beginning of the school year, as well as their behavior at school during this period.
When Teacher Peng mentioned that Da Bao was first in the class and even first in the grade, many parents turned to look at Da Bao and Zhao Tianlei.
This school had more than one class per grade.
Teacher Peng then discussed the issue of handwriting.
Now in the second grade, many students had handwriting that was illegible, and she hoped the parents would supervise this after going home.
After the parent-teacher meeting was over, Teacher Peng asked them to take the students home together.
"How come that Zhao Yunrui in your class has such good grades and writes so well?"
"Little aunt, Zhao Yunrui is really impressive. He’s our class president and the youngest in our class. Both his parents went to college. His mom is really beautiful. Today, I saw his dad, and his dad is good-looking too."
The little girl’s little aunt acknowledged this.
Zhao Yunrui’s dad was indeed good-looking, and despite having an older child, he looked young and wealthy.
That down jacket was not cheap.
"Last time Zhao Yunrui had a birthday, his mom brought a lot of little cakes to school for us all to celebrate," the little girl chattered on.
The Zhao Yunrui mentioned by the little girl was none other than Da Bao.
At home, they usually called him by his nickname.
"Yes, those cream cupcakes with cake on the bottom and cream on top, and fruit inside. They are really delicious, our classmates got one each."
