Chapter 786

Professor Qin nodded and said, "You're doing very well. You're only a township head now, but in the future, if you become a high-ranking official, a county magistrate, or a mayor, don't forget the original intention you had when you became an official today. Remember to do things for the common people."

Su Xinghui said solemnly, "Professor Qin, I have remembered your words. I will never forget this."

Professor Qin asked again, "Last time I attended an event with Old Qu and the others, I heard Old Qu say that your paintings have participated in three exhibitions at the Provincial Art Academy, and you are qualified to apply to become a member of the Provincial Artists Association. Have you gone yet?"

Su Xinghui slapped his thigh and said, "I almost forgot about that. I've been too busy lately, but I've kept the application materials in my bag. I'll go to Professor Qu's house later."

Professor Qin nodded, and Professor Qin's wife smiled and said, "Xinghui, Xiaoya, are you two dating?"

Lu Xiaoya blushed and nodded, "Yes, Professor's wife."

Professor Qin's wife asked again, "When did this happen?"

Lu Xiaoya would never forget the day she and Su Xinghui confessed their feelings, and she blurted out, "It was February 14th of this year."

Professor Qin's wife said, "That's been over half a year. When are you getting married?"

Lu Xiaoya blushed and said, "Professor's wife, it's not that soon."

Professor Qin's wife said, "You can't delay this. As long as you both like each other, get married quickly."

Professor Qin said, "I say, you old woman, the children have their own ideas, why are you rushing them!"

Professor Qin's wife laughed, "Fine, I won't rush, I won't rush, but you must send me and your teacher a wedding invitation when you get married!"

Lu Xiaoya said, "That goes without saying. You and Professor Qin will both be seated at the head table."

Professor Qin's wife nodded happily, "Good, good, good."

Su Xinghui asked Professor Qin, "Teacher, you're sixty this year, right? It seems your birthday is next month? Then I'll come to celebrate your sixtieth birthday!"

Professor Qin said, "Yes, the sixteenth of next month. I originally said I wouldn't hold a big celebration, just have a meal at home, but many students insist on holding a birthday banquet for me. You should come then."

Professor Qin was a titan of Sinology in the Jiangcheng academic circle. He had been teaching for decades, and his students were everywhere. Many of his students were already social elites in various fields, so naturally, they wanted to hold a decent birthday banquet for their teacher.

Su Xinghui said, "Teacher, with your status, it is only right to hold a big celebration for your sixtieth birthday. Okay, I will definitely come then."

Lu Xiaoya also said, "Teacher, I will come too."

Professor Qin nodded happily, "Okay, both of you come."

Su Xinghui said, "Then are you retiring this year?"
