Just as Yu Shuheng said, Li Heng had truly struck it rich this time!

After waiting for nearly two hours, he finally waited for Li Wang.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Wang, who was sweating from exhaustion, first apologized to the two of them, then grabbed Li Heng's hand and said excitedly:

"The Olympics + front-page headlines + CCTV commercials + your fame, cousin, all four prongs are working together. Our Anta Footwear is in its prime; in just half a month, sales have already exceeded 30 million!"

Li Heng asked, "That fierce?"

Li Wang nodded, "It's not just the distributors ordering aggressively; our direct-sale stores in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Beijing are also soaring. There's a flagship store in Beijing that sold 800 pairs of shoes in a single day."

The good news Li Wang brought almost made Li Heng dizzy; it took him a good while to recover.

Later, the two held a detailed meeting regarding the expansion of the shoe factory.

Li Heng asked, "How many employees does the shoe factory have now?"

Li Wang said, "Excluding management, there are 763 employees in the workshops. And the HR department is recruiting from the public every day."

Li Heng asked with concern, "Are there many applicants?"

Li Wang replied, "Many, because our wages are high. Conversely, many state-owned enterprises are currently poorly managed and in a state of semi-stoppage, which has led to many skilled workers flowing into the market. There is absolutely no need to worry about labor."

To increase production capacity, Li Wang proposed a plan to build new factory buildings, and Li Heng agreed.

Li Wang said, "Boss, the company plans to hold a national distributor conference in mid-October. Do you have time then?"

Li Heng calculated his itinerary and shook his head, "I'll be in Aba then; I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back. However, I'll make one point: taking advantage of the current good situation, we must allocate channel profits well from the start and decisively implement the joint-sales system plan."

First-tier distributors must pay the company in advance to serve as a security deposit. Other levels follow suit accordingly. The deposit rate is 12% of sales.

At the same time, establish a strict tiered price-difference system for distributors; there can only be one first-tier distributor in each location. The secondary and tertiary levels below are managed by the first-tier, and they also source their goods from the first-tier.

Cross-regional trans-shipment is strictly prohibited; those caught will have their distributorship revoked and their deposit confiscated. Implement sales target bundling; those who fail to meet sales quotas will be dynamically eliminated."

In fact, the joint-sales system plan is also a helpless move for Anta Footwear right now. Because there isn't enough time and not enough manpower to manage direct-sale stores in every provincial capital.

To occupy the market as quickly as possible, this is the only way.

However, when conditions mature in the future, we will definitely gradually reclaim the operating rights in big cities and implement a dual-track mechanism of direct sales and distributors nationwide.

Honestly, this set of distributor system rules is quite harsh; Li Heng learned it from Boss Zong of Wahaha.

It is said that Boss Zong's Wahaha initially had hundreds of millions in annual sales, but the funds entering the company account were only a few tens of millions; the other funds simply couldn't be collected. The distributors below always delayed payment with various excuses, to the point that it directly affected the company's production and business activities.

So, Boss Zong learned from the pain, and only then did the joint-sales system plan and the deposit system come to be.

Although it offended many distributors at first, the effect was excellent, ensuring Wahaha's future takeoff.

It is now 1988, and all domestic business systems are in their infancy, completely unsystematic and without any rules to speak of. Li Heng is taking advantage of Anta Footwear's soaring momentum to seize the opportunity to launch the joint-sales system plan; if the distributors below can accept it, they accept it; if they can't, they can get out, and we'll replace them with new people.

Li Wang had heard Li Heng talk about the joint-sales system plan before, and this time he even wrote it down in his notebook: "Following Anta now is like picking up money; the implementation difficulty shouldn't be high."

Li Heng nodded, then discussed with her the matter of establishing an enterprise technology R&D center, focusing on material technologies for shoe uppers and soles, striving to get rid of external dependence as soon as possible and achieve self-reliance.

"To improve competitiveness and save costs, this is an urgent issue; I have been thinking about this repeatedly. So, how much capital is appropriate for our initial investment?" Li Wang asked.

Li Heng thought for a moment and gave a suggestion: "Let's invest 1 million initially, and add more later according to needs. My vision is that in the future, annual R&D expenses should account for between 2% and 5% of production costs. It will be formulated specifically according to the actual situation."

This idea coincided with Li Wang's, and the two had no major disagreements.

Because business was too hot, after the meeting, Li Wang went off to get busy without stopping, not even treating the two to a meal.

Coming out of the Anta shoe factory, Yu Shuheng looked back at the prosperous scene at the company gate and praised, "This joint-sales system plan is good; although it might make individual distributors unhappy, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and it can ensure the healthy operation of the enterprise for a long time."

Li Heng agreed very much.

Getting into the Mercedes-Benz, Yu Shuheng asked curiously, "Little man, where did you learn this from?"

Li Heng said without blushing or skipping a beat, "I thought of it myself."

Yu Shuheng looked at him, then looked at him again, curled her lips, and said nothing.

Because she had no way to refute it, unable to find a precedent.

Yu Shuheng said, "You drive."

Li Heng said okay.

Saying this, the two changed positions in the car.

But as they changed, things went wrong; the two tall people inevitably had physical contact in the cramped space.

When someone's pair of hands suddenly hugged her horizontally, and when the yellow bamboo shoot broke through the soil, Yu Shuheng twisted her head with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, and asked softly, "Do you really dare to act like this here in broad daylight?"

Li Heng didn't make a sound, and the two became even closer.

It is said that sudden ambiguity is the most intoxicating. Yu Shuheng stared at him at close range, and at a certain moment, she suddenly closed her eyes, her hands tightly gripping his arms.

In the indescribable strange atmosphere, who knows how much time passed, Yu Shuheng panted heavily, leaned over to kiss the corner of his mouth, and whispered, "Little boy, this isn't the right occasion, let go of your teacher."

Li Heng hummed, and let her go, still feeling unsatisfied.

Next, he focused on driving. Yu Shuheng sat in the passenger seat looking out the window, lost in thought, and the two had no communication for a long time.

Driving near the Fudan school gate, Li Heng parked on the side, "Teacher, let's go to Old Li's Restaurant to satisfy our cravings."

Unexpectedly, Yu Shuheng refused, "I'm leaving Shanghai in two days; I have some things to handle at home, you go find Mai Sui for dinner."

Li Heng said okay, opened the door to get out, and walked toward the school gate.

Staring at his back through the car window for a while, Yu Shuheng then started the car and hurried home.

Wang Ye had come, having rushed over from Hong Kong.

Just returning to Bai Luyuan, he saw Wang Ye on the sofa of the small building No. 26, with Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe keeping her company.

Seeing him appear, Wang Ye immediately stood up and greeted him, "Boss."

Li Heng nodded with a smile and asked enthusiastically, "Have you eaten dinner yet?"

Wang Ye said, "Not yet."

Li Heng waved his hand and said to the three women, "Let's go, let's go eat outside together."

Subsequently, the four went downstairs and arrived at Old Li's Restaurant.

Somewhat unexpectedly, there were particularly many people in the restaurant today.

Looking closely, yo! Good fellow, it turned out that the freshmen had returned to school after military training; no wonder they were all dark, it turned out they were tanned.

After searching a circle and finding no seats, just as he intended to take the three women to Fuchun Xiaoyuan, the restaurant owner trotted over, smiled at Li Heng, and said, "The private room 201 on the second floor is empty, Mr. Li can take your friends there."

Li Heng blinked; this owner was a wonderful person, the waiter had clearly said the private rooms were full just a moment ago.

However, since the other party had the heart, Li Heng naturally was too lazy to ask more, and very happily went to the second floor.

Once seated, Li Heng looked up and said, "Owner, let's not order today, just bring your specialties, a full table."

"Hey, alright! Please wait a moment, I'll go arrange it." Since September 15th, who nearby didn't know Li Heng? This was a great writer, rumored to be a star of literature descended to the mortal world; being able to say a few words to such a person, the owner felt a sense of joy in his heart.

Wang Ye looked at the young boss sitting across the table, thinking to herself: Sure enough, he has face wherever he goes.

Li Heng asked Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe, "Where did Manning and Ye Ning go?"

Mai Sui shook her head; she had been cleaning the house and washing bedding all afternoon and hadn't gone out.

Zhou Shihe said, "They went to a dinner party."

Li Heng asked casually, "Dinner party, why didn't you two go?"

Zhou Shihe smiled gently and didn't answer.

As for Mai Sui, it went without saying; she had long been labeled "Li Heng," and ordinary people wouldn't invite her, nor could they invite her.

After chatting with the two women for a while, Li Heng then shifted his focus to Wang Ye, eating while once again checking for omissions and filling gaps, introducing the New Future Tutoring School in detail.

After talking for nearly half an hour, Li Heng finally finished speaking in minute detail, and finally said, "After arriving in Beijing, you go find Liu Bei to hand over the work; New Future will be handed over to you from now on."

Wang Ye nodded seriously, "Okay."

In the middle, Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe went to the restroom, and Wang Ye changed from her previous steady state, staring at Li Heng with burning eyes, "Mr. Li, have you heard of a bet?"

Li Heng was stunned, then nodded, "I've heard of it, you are…?"

Wang Ye leaned forward slightly, hesitated, and said, "Within 10 years, if I bring New Future to an annual net profit of over 200 million, can you promise me one condition?"

Li Heng was surprised, "Oh, you have a lot of confidence?"

Wang Ye said, "Although I was in Hong Kong during this time, I wasn't idle. Through data sent by friends, I have a clear understanding of the mainland education industry; it's poor and blank, but the potential is huge. New Future appeared at the right time; as long as it's managed well, it will reach a height beyond everyone's expectations."

Regarding the future education and training market, no one was clearer than Li Heng; 200 million sounded very bluffing, but as long as this wave of wind is grasped, it actually isn't much.

After waiting for a while and not hearing him speak, Wang Ye asked tentatively, "Too little?"

Li Heng said, "Tell me the condition."

Wang Ye moved her gaze away, "It won't work if I say it now."

Then she added, "But don't worry, it's not illegal, and I guarantee you can do it easily."

Turning his gaze on her, Li Heng suddenly had a strange thought, "You don't want a child, do you?"

Wang Ye was stunned, then said with a little shyness, "I am a non-marriageist, I don't plan to get married, and I know this is a bit difficult for you, how about an annual profit of 500 million?"

Li Heng: "..."

Damn it!

Actually guessed it right away!

Actually, it wasn't hard to guess; the other party wasn't short of money, and her status wasn't bad, yet she suddenly recommended herself to work under him; that must be for something.

Thinking about it, Li Heng felt that she was after him as a person.

But what he never expected was that Wang Ye didn't avoid it at all, admitting it so straightforwardly; sure enough, she grew up with Western ideas, and many places were beyond imagination.

Li Heng was in a dilemma; he wanted to refuse directly, but the meal wasn't finished yet, so should they just break up unhappily?

After a long stalemate, Li Heng broke the deadlock and asked, "What do you think of these two girls just now?"

"Dragons and phoenixes among people, one in a million." Wang Ye truthfully stated her feelings.

Li Heng pinched the chopsticks in his palm with his fingers and said seriously, "Mai Sui is my woman, Miss Zhou is someone I fell in love with at first sight."

What a coincidence!

Zhou Shihe, walking lightly, happened to arrive outside the private room door. Hearing the conversation inside, her body stagnated, and her right hand resting on the door slowly lowered; she didn't push the door.

Immediately thinking of something, she scanned the corridor behind her. There was Mai Sui's figure.

At this time, Mai Sui was chatting with three women and one man in the middle of the corridor; all 5 were from Shaodong No. 1 High School, high school alumni, and they started chatting after this chance encounter.

Seeing that Mai Sui didn't follow immediately, Zhou Shihe stopped at the door after calming down for a while, neither entering nor retreating.

The conversation in the room continued.

Regarding Mai Sui being Li Heng's woman, Wang Ye wasn't surprised at all, as if she had known it for a long time.

It was Zhou Shihe, Wang Ye's expression changed, becoming somewhat rich, and she asked tentatively:

"Does Mr. Li want to marry Miss Zhou in the future?"

Li Heng asked back, "Why do you ask?"

Wang Ye gave her own answer, "Mr. Cha has a very deep impression of Miss Zhou, and once privately told me that he couldn't write such a beauty who could topple a country and a city."

Observing Miss Zhou's words, deeds, and extraordinary temperament, she should come from a big family.

In my cognition, women from such families generally won't be concubines; Mr. Li should either not provoke her, or he can only marry her home."

Mr. Li Heng was dumbfounded and didn't speak for a while.

He deliberately brought out Zhou Shihe, intending to block Wang Ye's unrealistic thoughts. He didn't expect the other party to analyze it so thoroughly for you.

Who can you reason with for this?

Wang Ye asked, "Wrong?"

Li Heng answered the question with another question, "You have rich social experience, what do you think of Zhou Shihe?"

Wang Ye thought for a while before wording it, "Round on the outside, square on the inside. Weak on the outside, but a very proud person; it's difficult for ordinary people to get close to her heart."

"If Mr. Li wants to marry her, I'm afraid it's very difficult to tolerate you having a concubine."

These words hit his heart, and Li Heng took the opportunity to politely refuse, "In the Yuan Dynasty, there was a poem "Mo Yu Er. Yan Qiu Ci"."

"There is a sentence in it that you might have heard, called: Ask the world what love is, it makes people promise life and death."

Wang Ye savored these words, and her eyes dimmed, "I understand. I wish Mr. Li success in winning the beauty in the future."

Li Heng thought to himself: You understand a chicken, you understand, I want to marry Song Yu. But the other party hadn't seen Song Yu, and using Zhou Shihe as a shield right now was quite good.

Anyway, Comrade Zhou Shihe wasn't there, she couldn't hear it, right?

I assume Wang Ye isn't the type with a big mouth.

In fact, Wang Ye was very curious about how he would handle Yu Laoshi Shuheng in the future? But since Li Heng refused the bet condition, she tactfully didn't ask again.

Wang Ye could understand his meaning, and Zhou Shihe outside the door could naturally understand it too. Seeing her chest heave several times, she immediately took steps to walk back, walking downstairs.

Just at this time, Mai Sui happened to separate from the high school alumni and stopped her to ask, "Shihe, where are you going?"

Zhou Shihe was afraid that her unstable emotions would reveal the truth, so she smiled gently, "Suddenly want to drink soda."

Mai Sui reached out and held her arm, "I'll go with you."

Zhou Shihe said okay.

The atmosphere in the private room froze.

There's no way, for this kind of thing, Li Heng didn't dare to promise randomly, so it was better to refuse clearly from the beginning.

After a long while, Wang Ye barely squeezed out a smile and said, "I knew it, it wouldn't work if I said it out, I should have made some achievements in New Future, then hint to you."

"It's just that Mr. Li is smarter than I thought, guessing it all at once."

The reason she brought up the bet condition today was with a try-it-out attitude.

If Li Heng agreed muddle-headedly, when New Future Tutoring School reached a certain height, she would use New Future as a foundation, and considering that even if there was no credit, there was hard work, she would use a special method to hint to Li Heng to give her a child.

But things went against her wishes, Li Heng saw through her thoughts today, making her return without success.

As for why she had to bring up the "condition" today?

Because if you miss this village, there won't be this shop; if she didn't bring it up today, it would be difficult to bring it up later. Bringing it up later would mean threatening him with New Future, and the relationship would only turn sour.

Things having reached this point, Li Heng didn't cover it up anymore, asking clearly, "Then what does Miss Wang mean?"

Wang Ye took a plane ticket out of her bag and placed it on the table, "Mr. Li don't worry, I will rush to Beijing tonight."

Hearing this, Li Heng's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

If it were before bringing up the condition, he would definitely have kept her to spend the night at the small building No. 26.

But now, he skipped this link.

Not long after, conversation sounds came from outside the door, and then Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe pushed the door and walked in one after another.

Zhou Shihe, walking behind, subconsciously glanced at someone quickly, then sat back on the chair with dignity, opened a bottle of soda cap, and drank quietly.

Mai Sui had three bottles of soda in her hand, handing one to Li Heng and Wang Ye respectively.

Wang Ye said thank you, and also tried to drink a sip, feeling the soda taste was not bad, and then while drinking, she looked at Zhou Shihe without changing her expression.

Just now, it was for this Miss Zhou that Mr. Li refused her.

How sensitive Zhou Shihe was. When Wang Ye's gaze fell on her secretly, she noticed it, and also knew why the other party looked at her like this, nothing more than Li Heng's sentence: Ask the world what love is, it makes people promise life and death.

Mai Sui asked him softly, "The flavor you like is sold out, are you used to this taste?"

Li Heng hummed, "It's actually quite good, you were gone for so long just now, I was planning to come out and find you."

Mai Sui explained, "I ran into Chen Xiao and the others from the high school next door in the corridor. By the way, tell you something, Wang Hui and Chen Xiao got together."

Wang Hui was the only boy in the corridor just now, and Chen Xiao was also among them.

Li Heng wasn't surprised to hear this, "Is that so? Actually, I guessed it in high school. During an exam once, these two kept secretly exchanging glances."

Mai Sui smiled charmingly, "They are studying at Tongji University. Today they came to find Pei Qian to play."

Pei Qian was also from Shaodong No. 1 High School, and was also studying at Fudan, majoring in Chinese Language and Literature. However, in high school, everyone wasn't in the same class, and they didn't say much at ordinary times, but because everyone's grades were good, they often met in the first exam room.

After eating, walking out of Old Li's Restaurant, Wang Ye said goodbye to Li Heng on the spot, "Mr. Li, then I'll go first, I'll contact you after arriving in Beijing."

Li Heng offered to send her, but Wang Ye firmly refused.

There was no way, finally Li Heng stopped a taxi for her, and recorded the license plate number and the driver's appearance.

The driver felt his heart hair-raising from being stared at, grinned and said, "Mr. Li, I'm not a bad person, I'm a good person, I have old people above and young people below, I can't do illegal things, please put your heart at ease."

Li Heng: "..."

Didn't expect to be recognized even for this, damn it, it's so embarrassing.

Zhou Shihe smiled slightly, and when his gaze swept over, she moved her gaze away without a trace, the smile on her face slowly converging.

Mai Sui was also smiling, helping Wang Ye put her luggage into the trunk, and exchanged several sentences with the other party, "Sister Wang, go slowly, have a safe trip."

Wang Ye felt not bad about Mai Sui, and said politely, "Thank you, have time to accompany Mr. Li to Beijing to play."

Mai Sui waved her hand with a smile.

Wang Ye waved her hand, and the taxi went further and further away.

Running all the way to Beijing, Wang Ye wasn't in a hurry to find Liu Bei to hand over work, but looked for a high-end hotel to stay in.

She first called Li Heng to report safety. Then she called Hong Kong, and the one who answered the phone was Jin Yong.

As soon as the phone connected, Wang Ye said, "Mr. Cha, good evening."

Jin Yong replied, "Good evening, where are you? Beijing or Shanghai?"

Wang Ye sat down and said, "In Beijing."

Jin Yong pondered for a moment, "So, he refused you?"

Wang Ye said dejectedly, "Yes. Mr. Li is very smart, as soon as I brought up the condition, he saw through it, and then said it in front of me, I have no room for maneuver."

Jin Yong asked, "Was he intentional?"

Wang Ye replied, "Should be intentional, cutting off all my thoughts."

"What a pity."

Jin Yong sighed, "You felt like old friends at first sight. What a pity, the goddess has feelings, but the king has no intentions."

When Wang Ye proposed to work under Li Heng, Jin Yong, who understood the world, noticed the clues, and later returning to Hong Kong, the two chatted openly like old friends in a tea restaurant about this matter.

Knowing that she had a firm idea to try, Jin Yong still encouraged her.

Jin Yong asked, "Then now...?"

Wang Ye was silent for a long while, and said, "I will go to take over New Future tomorrow, I will do my best to bring it to a peak, and then retire, returning to Hong Kong."

Jin Yong nodded in agreement, "Good, once you make a decision, don't regret it."

Wang Ye said, "Thank you Mr. Cha for your tolerance."

Jin Yong was actually very reluctant to let her leave, but her mind was made up, and he could only do so.

On the other side, after Li Heng, Mai Sui, and Zhou Shihe entered the school gate, they weren't in a hurry to go home, but walked on campus to digest food.

Walking halfway, he suddenly remembered one thing, "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, and found there is one thing I haven't done."

Mai Sui asked with concern, "What thing?"

Li Heng talked about sending a signed book to Sun Xiaozhang, "I'll go send it now, I won't accompany you for a walk."

Mai Sui said okay, and then the two women continued walking along the campus.

After walking about a hundred meters, Mai Sui reached out and held her best friend's arm and asked, "Why haven't you spoken, do you have something on your mind?"

Zhou Shihe smiled cleverly, "No, I was bored and thinking about Wang Ye's matter."

Mai Sui was confused, "Wang Ye?"

Zhou Shihe looked ahead, and said warmly like water, "Don't you think Wang Ye's behavior is very abrupt? Seeing Li Heng once and abandoning the old boss to join his door."

Mai Sui wasn't stupid, and understood her best friend's meaning instantly, thought for a while, then shook her head, "Wang Ye isn't in his hunting scope."

Zhou Shihe's face showed strangeness, "Hunting?"

Mai Sui knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and explained with a soft smile, "When Manning chats with me privately, she uses the word "hunting" to describe him, heard it too much, didn't pay attention for a moment."

Zhou Shihe pondered for a moment and asked, "Hunting generally describes taking the initiative to attack, but according to my observation, facing Xiao Han and Yu Laoshi, he is mostly passive. Are there still targets he takes the initiative to attack?"

She didn't mention her best friend Sui Sui.

Because Sui Sui had a crush on him for more than three years, which already explained everything, the word "hunting" was also not suitable.

Mai Sui's heart skipped a beat, didn't expect her best friend to be so sensitive, thinking so much with just one word.

However, like Song Yu, she was a kind-hearted person and wouldn't casually speculate about good friends.

Mai Sui didn't answer this question directly, but said in a low voice, "I am not Xiao Han, it's not easy to ask about his emotional affairs."

The implication is: not his girlfriend on the surface, it's not easy to interfere with his private feelings.

Mai Sui saying this was also a helpless move, having promised him not to interfere with his private feelings, and not to tell outsiders about Song Yu and Chen Zijin.

She could keep her mouth shut before. Not to mention now that Li Heng's status is different from before, she will cherish his feathers even more for him, even if facing her best friend in college, she can only use ambiguous answers to muddle through.

Zhou Shihe stopped, turned to gaze at her best friend, and after a long while, she said kindly, "Sui Sui, you are the kindest person I have ever seen."

The later topics, the two women tacitly shifted elsewhere, and neither mentioned Li Heng again.

Returning home, Li Heng walked straight into the study, took two sample books of "White Deer Plain" from the bookshelf, and began to sign.

It was just that after signing his name, he stopped his pen, hesitating whether to write that sentence for Sun Xiaozhang: I don't have designs on Huang Ziyue?

After thinking for a while, he finally gave up the principal's joke, and wrote the date at the end.

In this era, Fudan teacher dormitories are known as three villages and four manors, among which Lushan Village and Xu Hui Village have the best housing conditions. However, there are also differences between the two; Lushan Village is a detached small building, with an attic, balcony, and storage room upstairs, and a kitchen, bathroom, and flush toilet inside the building. Most of Xu Hui Village are Japanese-style bungalows, with internal conditions the same as Lushan Village.

Sun Xiaozhang was in Xu Hui Village.

Although Li Heng hadn't been here, he had a mouth, right? By asking for directions, he quickly found the door to the house.

Reaching out to knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Dong dong dong..."

When the second knock ended, the gate opened a crack from the inside, revealing a strange, beautiful face.

However, strange is relative, Li Heng was strange to the other party.

But the girl in yellow clothes inside the door recognized him at first sight.

Li Heng asked politely, "Hello, may I ask if Sun Xiaozhang is at home?"

Hearing this, the girl in yellow opened the door completely, stepped aside, "At home."

Seeing him about to bend down to change shoes, the girl said, "Senior, no need to change shoes, it doesn't matter."

Senior?

Hearing this address, Li Heng turned his head to quickly look at the other party, and a name suddenly popped into his mind, Huang Ziyue?

Could it be Sun Xiaozhang's granddaughter?

He asked, "Are you also studying at Fudan?"

The girl in yellow introduced herself with a smile, "Senior, hello, my name is Huang Ziyue, I just entered Fudan this year."

Sure enough, it was this name, she was indeed quite beautiful, no wonder that old man the principal would be so smug in front of him.

Li Heng nodded, "I have something to find the principal."

Huang Ziyue said, "He is practicing calligraphy in the study, please follow me."

Going up to the study on the second floor, Li Heng saw Sun Xiaozhang who was waving a brush, writing "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection", which had already reached the ending paragraph.

Practicing calligraphy should not be interrupted, Li Heng stood by and watched silently.

Huang Ziyue didn't leave, falling into a position behind his left, observing him quietly with curious eyes.

Waiting until the last word was written, Sun Xiaozhang didn't look back, and asked with a loud laugh, "How is it? Heard you also know brush calligraphy, is this pleasing to the eye?"

"The brush tip is vigorous and powerful, like drawing a knife to cut water; the ink rhyme is thick and appropriate, like clouds rolling and clouds relaxing. A good hand of calligraphy." Li Heng said it as soon as he opened his mouth, focusing on making people feel comfortable.

Sun Xiaozhang frowned as he listened, turning his head, "You kid is also a sycophant? Not to this extent."

Li Heng's expression remained as usual, "Then I'll change to an ordinary blowing method: Good! Very good! Very very good!"

Sun Xiaozhang laughed, spread the rice paper again, and handed the brush to him, "Shuheng said, your brush calligraphy is open and closed, forming your own style. Come, show a hand."

Li Heng didn't take the brush, looking like he was kindly persuading, "Teacher don't be like this, it's not easy to practice brush calligraphy to this point, mainly to cultivate the body and kidneys."

Sun Xiaozhang immediately grabbed his eyebrows and beard, and stuffed the brush into his hand, "The mouth is quite powerful, then let me open my eyes."

The brush was in his hand, Li Heng didn't pretend anymore, "What's good to write?"

Sun Xiaozhang was a bit unconvinced, gathered his hands, "Just write "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection"."

Li Heng refused, "Too long, I still have to rush back to date my girlfriend."

Sun Xiaozhang's old teeth moved, "Isn't your girlfriend at Shanghai Medical University?"

Li Heng looked at the other party with a meaningful look.

Sun Xiaozhang was speechless, "Then write the first paragraph."

Hearing this, Li Heng dipped the brush in ink, held his breath, and began to write.

The first word he wrote, Sun Xiaozhang didn't speak.

After the first sentence was written, Sun Xiaozhang didn't gather his hands, his body leaned forward, staring intently at the words appearing on the rice paper.

Waiting until the first paragraph was written, Sun Xiaozhang was unsatisfied and instigated, "Finish writing, finish writing and I'll give you my granddaughter as a wife."

Li Heng: "..."

Alright, this old man has no bottom line, in order to trick himself into finishing "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection", he actually spouted nonsense.

Are you trying to take the postgraduate entrance exam?

Huang Ziyue said, "Grandpa, I'm still in the study."

Sun Xiaozhang said, "You interrupt less, let me finish tricking this kid."

Saying this, without waiting for Li Heng to put down the brush, he ran over and began to help grind the ink.

Seeing this scene, Li Heng felt dizzy, and said unhappily, "You are the principal of Fudan University anyway, with high position and great power, why bother like this."

"Don't you want to date? Write quickly, don't waste time, I'm just waiting for this piece of your calligraphy to press the coffin board." Sun Xiaozhang looked indifferent.

Li Heng said, "Calligraphy, I am a nameless pawn."

Sun Xiaozhang smacked his lips, "Sign your name, a hundred years later, beat those so-called masters."

Alright, things had reached this point, Li Heng couldn't disobey the other party's wishes, and calmed down to continue writing.

The study was very quiet for a while, only the slight sound of the brush swimming like a dragon on the rice paper.

Who knows how much time passed like this...

When his wrist felt a bit sore, he finally finished writing, and looked out the window.

Yo! Good fellow, the sky was already dark.

Sun Xiaozhang examined the brush calligraphy for a long while, and after a long time sighed, "Are you a genius? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be really hard to believe this calligraphy came from your hand."

Li Heng asked piercingly, "Not that exaggerated, our calligraphy is about the same."

"Nonsense." Sun Xiaozhang retorted, then said to Huang Ziyue, "Let your mother make a midnight snack, just say there is a distinguished guest today. Remember to make two spicy dishes."

Huang Ziyue turned and left.

Li Heng said, "Don't, I really have to date, no time to eat."

"Alright, people have already moved into the small building No. 26, and can't run away. It's okay to trick children, but playing tricks on an old man like me, your cultivation is shallow." Sun Xiaozhang didn't believe his ghost talk at all.

Obviously, Sun Xiaozhang was talking about Mai Sui.

Li Heng refused to admit it, "Don't frame me, we are pure friendship. Besides, she doesn't live in my house, she lives with the Zhou girl."

Sun Xiaozhang turned his head, scanned him up and down with his eyes, and finally threw out a sentence, "Your skin is as thick as your brush calligraphy. After eating this midnight snack, don't come to Xu Hui Village in the future."

Li Heng showed dissatisfaction, "You are killing the donkey after it has finished the mill, why?"

The two were very familiar, and their temperaments were similar, so they didn't hold airs when talking to each other, and there was a bit of unscrupulous flavor.

Sun Xiaozhang carried his hands behind his back, "Why? Because I am the principal of this school, okay?"

Li Heng muttered, "Be careful, I'll transfer schools."

Sun Xiaozhang wasn't afraid at all, "Can Yu Laoshi let you transfer?"

Li Heng: "..."

Dizzy, it turns out this old kid knows everything.

Staring at the brush calligraphy for a while, Sun Xiaozhang remembered to ask, "Anything today?"

Li Heng pointed to the two "White Deer Plain" on the desk, "Came to say goodbye to the principal, and ask for a month's leave by the way."

Knowing he had serious business, Sun Xiaozhang agreed happily, then reached out and picked up "White Deer Plain", opening the title page.

After reading one, he read the second, Sun Xiaozhang said, "Missing something."

Li Heng understood what he was saying, "Are you really going to write that?"

Just at this time, footsteps came from outside the study, Sun Xiaozhang immediately took out his own commonly used fountain pen and handed it to him, "Write."

Li Heng was stunned, "So you weren't joking with me?"

"Who is joking with you? With your face and your status, who dares to joke with you?" Sun Xiaozhang turned his face and was heartless.

Li Heng was dumbfounded, "I found you are more shameless than me..."

"Hey! Thanks for the compliment, am I more shameless than you? Kid, you are still green." Sun Xiaozhang laughed.

Li Heng took the fountain pen, bent down and wrote on a book: I don't have designs on Huang Ziyue.

Old man Sun's timing was very accurate.

He had just finished writing, and Huang Ziyue returned, pushed the door and came in, happening to see the line on "White Deer Plain".

The handwriting hadn't dried yet, and there was a faint ink fragrance drifting out.

Huang Ziyue stared at the fountain pen writing, and immediately lost her expression.

Li Heng was like a person who had nothing to do, handed the fountain pen to Sun Xiaozhang, and said casually, "Don't use the principal's name to suppress me next time..."

Seeing this, Sun Xiaozhang deliberately "cough cough" to interrupt his words, and took the fountain pen without blushing or skipping a beat.

The atmosphere between the big and small was a bit awkward, but Li Heng acted as a melon-eating crowd on the side.

Finally, after Huang Ziyue stared at her grandfather for a few times, she turned and left.

Once people left, Sun Xiaozhang changed his face instantly, "You can use this trick to deal with your children in the future. By the way, why haven't you left yet?"

Li Heng widened his eyes, asking in disbelief, "Didn't you say you would treat me to a midnight snack?"

"The situation has changed, I don't think I can delay your date." Sun Xiaozhang said calmly.

Having seen shameless people, but never seen such a shameless one, Li Heng retreated and walked toward the study door.

Sun Xiaozhang followed closely behind, speaking kindly all the way, personally sending him out of Xu Hui Village.

"Teacher, let's stop here, I'm leaving." Li Heng said.

Sun Xiaozhang nodded, standing on the side of the road watching him gradually disappear into the night.

Li Heng was gone, but Sun Xiaozhang was even more worried, looking up at the moon and stars in the sky, thinking: With this tormenting ghost here, I shouldn't have let Ziyue come to Fudan University in the first place.

Originally, he was indeed joking before.

But when his granddaughter stared at him without blinking in the study for more than half an hour, Sun Xiaozhang was truly worried.

As a person who has been through it, the old man knew better than anyone what was hidden in his granddaughter's bright eyes?

Returning home, his daughter asked Sun Xiaozhang, "Dad, didn't you say there was a distinguished guest, and told me to make a midnight snack, why did you send people away?"

Sun Xiaozhang's daughter was also a Fudan teacher, over at the School of Journalism. Her husband was a judge.

Sun Xiaozhang said, "Li Heng had something urgent, so he left first, eating the same next time."

Then he scanned the room and asked, "Where is Ziyue?"

His daughter replied, "You two just went out, she followed right after."

Sun Xiaozhang was dumbfounded, and a voice jumped into his mind instantly: It's broken!

Seeing his father's appearance, his daughter asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Sun Xiaozhang waved his hand, "Go continue making your food, I'll drink some wine tonight."

His daughter heard this and went into the kitchen.

Sun Xiaozhang took a bamboo chair and sat facing the gate, having a sense of frustration that a wise man thinks a thousand times and still makes a mistake.

Speaking of Li Heng, not long after he left Xu Hui Village, a figure blocked him on the small road ahead.

Li Heng stopped, "Junior, anything?"

Huang Ziyue stepped with small steps and asked, "Was that words forced by my grandfather?"

Li Heng didn't deny it, nor did he admit it.

Huang Ziyue circled him, then circled again, suddenly raised her head, "Senior, my grandfather bullied you too much, do you want to vent?"

Li Heng asked casually, "How to vent?"

Huang Ziyue said, "Senior, you go back first, I'll tell you later."

Li Heng looked at her and left nimbly, not taking her words to heart at all.
