Chapter 836: As expected, it has to be alumni

The first time, she thought she had misread it, but until she counted the zeros one by one, Shen Jingjing raised her head in shock: "Eight, eight thousand!"

Shen Yingying and her husband were stunned when they heard this number.

Even Shen Ci couldn't hide her shock: "So much?"

Jiang Yuanliang, however, reacted calmly, looking composed. But he must have been happy in his heart; this showed that the old man valued her and regarded Jingjing the same as the eldest sister-in-law.

"Back then, the red envelope the old man gave the eldest sister-in-law was also this much."

He had never asked because he had known in his heart for a long time.

A light piece of paper made Shen Jingjing feel hot at this moment. It was very common for elders to give red envelopes on the first visit, and she hadn't thought much about it at the time and accepted it.

She had even thought that with the strength and status of the Jiang family, this red envelope would definitely not be small.

But eight thousand was too big!

She worked hard at her career, but she hadn't even built her company to this output value, yet she received so much from an elder's red envelope just by getting married.

"Since the old man gave it, you should just accept it. This also indirectly shows that he accepts you, you should be happy." Jiang Yuanliang stepped forward and said softly.

Shen Jingjing was very moved; to be precise, she was excited.

Although she was indeed startled, she had never thought about refusing it.

For one, it was given by the old man.

For another, she couldn't look down on herself and feel she wasn't worthy.

Since all daughters-in-law were treated this way, she should accept it.

She smiled and said: "Next time I go to see the old man, I must prepare something different for him."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanliang said: "No need to spend that effort, just showing off a few skills will be enough to make him dizzy with delight."

Although the old man was old, he never treated himself poorly in terms of food. Usually, when he was home alone, every meal had different patterns, and he ate mountain delicacies and sea treasures quite often.

He was also a veteran foodie!

Soon, Shen Xing and Shen Min also returned from school. Today was to celebrate the two getting their certificates, and the family had a happy dinner together.

On the other side, the Li family.

Li Xiao was still sending messages on his phone while eating.

Mrs. Li looked at her son, then at the lobster on her son's plate, and couldn't help but care: "Eat first, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Because of his son's recent performance, Li Wanchang was becoming more and more tolerant of him. Seeing this, he smiled and said: "Young people in love are like this, let them chat."

As a result, Li Xiao looked up at his father and explained: "Dad, it's not Keying, I'm chatting with Lu Kasi."

Saying this, he turned his phone to show his father. Li Wanchang looked closely, and sure enough, it was all in English.

"It seems your relationship has gotten closer. As expected, the alumni connection is more effective." Li Wanchang looked at his son and said: "Tomorrow, I will emphasize the difficulty of this project again at the meeting, so that if you can succeed in the future, it will appear even more valuable."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Dad."

"What have you been chatting about?"

"At first, I was worried about not having common topics, so I started with school matters as an entry point, and gradually we chatted more and more openly. We also agreed that I would take him to visit various places in Longcheng tomorrow. He likes horse riding, so I plan to take him to the horse farm to experience ancient-style horse riding and archery; he is very interested in our Chinese culture."

"Very good. Pay attention to safety when the time comes, don't let Lu Kasi get hurt." Li Wanchang instructed his son.

Mrs. Li then gave her son an idea: "Take Keying with you. You came back this time for her, you can't neglect her now that you're about to leave."

"Mom, I don't have the energy to take care of two people at the same time. Lu Kasi is very important to the company; if I take Keying, I'll have to split my focus to take care of her."

Qiu Keying was a little princess who needed someone to take care of her anytime, anywhere; Li Xiao knew her very well.

Li Wanchang also said: "Xiaozai is right. He is going to work, that's serious business; love and romance have to take a backseat."

However, he couldn't completely ignore Qiu Keying. He looked at his son and instructed: "Still, explain it to Keying. Although this child is delicate, she is very sensible and reasonable; she will understand."

"I will, Dad, don't worry."

A few days later was the final practice test before the Math Olympiad finals.

At this time, the University of Science and Technology team had undergone earth-shaking changes due to Shen Ci's intervention. The teacher almost only played a supervisory role, and all the practice and practice tests within the team were defaulted to Shen Ci.

"Everyone's grades this time are good. Maintaining this level will definitely win points for the school in the finals, and there is also a possibility of a sprint for individual rankings."

Shen Ci distributed the papers to everyone one by one. Wang Yikun couldn't wait to take his test paper. This was his third practice test since he officially started practicing with Shen Ci. Before this, Wang Li had already secretly fed back the problem-solving ideas Shen Ci taught to him, and he benefited a lot, from the hurried and stumbling advancement from the preliminaries to the calm and easy advancement from the semi-finals.

After he officially joined with Shen Ci's tacit approval, the effect was even more rapid. His foundation was better than other team members to begin with, and his grades improved even faster.

For the last practice test, he really wanted to catch up with the progress of those who fell behind, and even held the expectation of surpassing others.

Shen Ci knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression. Although Wang Yikun was annoying, his ambition was written all over his face.

"The grades are good, already on par with Xiaoxia." Shen Ci said, looking at him.

When Wang Yikun saw his score, it was exactly the same as Hu Xiaoxia's, already surpassing Wang Li and Lin Yue.

He visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile spread across his eyes.

"After working hard for a few months, everyone is doing this for this moment, let's all cheer for ourselves."

Saying this, Shen Ci glanced at the time and stood up: "I have an appointment with someone later and have to leave early. You guys discuss the difficult points on this paper yourselves."

Hu Xiaoxia and the others nodded, bidding farewell to Shen Ci one after another.

As a result, just as Shen Ci walked out, Wang Yikun suddenly stood up and chased after her.

The others looked at Wang Yikun's back as he chased out, exchanged glances, and then blinked inexplicably.

"Shen Ci!"

Wang Yikun chased to the stairs before calling out to Shen Ci.

Shen Ci stopped and looked back, raising her eyebrows in surprise when she saw the other party: "Something up?"

Wang Yikun came closer, his expression very awkward. He wanted to thank Shen Ci and even apologize, but found it hard to speak.

A man's groundless self-esteem.

Finally, he ended up saying: "I want to say thank you to you. You don't hold grudges and are still willing to let me..."

Shen Ci raised her hand to interrupt him: "That's not necessary. I promised the teacher, so leading you all to practice is just fulfilling a promise to me. You don't need to thank me." ===== CHAPTER 837 =====
