Chapter 56

~7 min read 1,335 words

Rong Ci put down her phone, went downstairs, and told the old lady that Feng Tingshen already had arrangements for dinner.

That night, Feng Tingshen didn't return.

Waking up the next day, the old lady learned that Feng Tingshen hadn't returned last night and was a bit angry: "Tingshen is really, even if work is busy, is there no time to return home?"

Rong Ci listened and just smiled, not taking the conversation.

Even if Feng Tingshen was busy, there was definitely time to return home.

After all, he also needed to rest.

Remembering the sound of Lin Wu's voice on the phone last night.

She felt the reason he didn't return...

Should be that there was a better place to go, right?

The key projects for Changmo for the next two years had already been decided in the past two days.

However, Yu Moxun still organized their ideas and sent them to Nan Zhizhi, wanting him to help give some opinions.

Nan Zhizhi was usually very busy and his whereabouts were uncertain. Rong Ci and Yu Moxun both thought he would reply to their message in a few days, or even half a month later.

Unexpectedly, he called that afternoon.

"The ideas are not bad."

Getting Nan Zhizhi's affirmation, Rong Ci and Yu Moxun were more confident about the project they had formed.

You must know that their teacher's requirements were very high.

His "not bad" was already a very high evaluation.

Nan Zhizhi added: "From the content you sent, whether it's the foundation of the past or some new developments in the AI field in recent years, you haven't missed anything; it's not bad."

These words were clearly said to Rong Ci.

Rong Ci's nose felt sour, and before she could speak, Nan Zhizhi said coldly: "But you are still too negligent; the path of learning is to advance or retreat, in fact, you are still regressing."

Rong Ci hurriedly said: "I know, Teacher, I will try my best to make up for the efforts I missed over the years."

"Mm."

Nan Zhizhi's teaching had always been to stop at a point.

After saying this, he stopped.

Seeing that Nan Zhizhi seemed to have time today, Rong Ci couldn't help but say: "Teacher, do you have time tonight? I want to have a meal with you."

Not to mention Rong Ci, even Yu Moxun hadn't had a meal with Nan Zhizhi for a long time.

Hearing Rong Ci's words, Yu Moxun nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Teacher, do you have time?"

Nan Zhizhi said flatly: "I have an appointment, no time."

"Ah?" Yu Moxun was very disappointed.

Rong Ci was too.

She wanted to ask Nan Zhizhi when he would have time, so she could make an appointment next time.

But before she could speak, she heard Nan Zhizhi continue: "The person who made an appointment with me is Feng Tingshen."

Rong Ci was stunned.

Yu Moxun also paused. He glanced at Rong Ci and asked quietly: "Then Teacher... why would President Feng come to you? Can you tell us why?"

"He said he wanted to introduce someone for me to meet."

After saying this, Nan Zhizhi didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.

Yu Moxun looked at Rong Ci and said: "The person your husband wants to introduce to the teacher, could it be Lin Wu?"

Last time when they were in contact with the Lin family, he learned that the Lin family also had their own tech company.

The reason Lin Wu wanted to work at their company before was for their company's programming language, cuap.

And the outside world thought cuap was developed by their teacher's team.

Now that Lin Wu couldn't enter their company, it was indeed possible she would find their teacher for the sake of researching cuap.

Even more so, Lin Wu might also want to become their teacher's student.

Thinking of this, Yu Moxun cursed directly: "Damn!"

Rong Ci also thought of this point.

Moreover, she felt this might be a kind of compensation from Feng Tingshen for letting Lin Wu's uncle and the others not move opposite her uncle's house.

After all, with his feelings for Lin Wu, how could he be willing to let Lin Wu suffer for the sake of helping her?

Yu Moxun: "If she really hid her strength, then wouldn't it be—"

Although they were Nan Zhizhi's students, and Nan Zhizhi was usually cold to them, they actually had a good relationship with Nan Zhizhi.

Because although Nan Zhizhi was strict with them, in fact, he was a person with a cold face but a soft heart.

But he was also a person with principles.

If Lin Wu's ability and talent were truly sufficient, he wouldn't refuse to accept Lin Wu just because of the grudge between Rong Ci and Lin Wu.

So...

Rong Ci calmed down quickly and said: "Let's busy ourselves with our own affairs first."

All she could do was do her own job well.

That night, she returned home late, and the old lady was already asleep.

However, when she arrived home, Feng Tingshen hadn't returned.

It was also possible he wouldn't return.

However, when she came out of the bathroom after showering, she saw Feng Tingshen.

He had actually returned.

Seeing him, her footsteps paused, and she nodded slightly to him, which counted as a greeting.

As for why he made an appointment with Nan Zhizhi today, she didn't ask a single word.

Feng Tingshen didn't speak either, glanced at her, and went into the bathroom to shower.

The next morning, she woke up relatively late.

When she went downstairs, she heard the old lady speaking to Feng Tingshen with sarcasm: "Last night when I slept, it was past ten o'clock, but you hadn't returned yet; I thought you didn't want to return again!"

Feng Tingshen sat opposite the old lady, drinking water calmly, not answering.

The old lady knocked on the table, pretending to be angry: "Speak! Don't play dumb with me!"

Feng Tingshen put down the water glass, saw Rong Ci coming downstairs, turned his head to look at her, then calmly turned back and said: "Isn't it you who told me I must return home, saying you wanted me to accompany you to play this morning?"

"Humph, I thought you treated my words as wind in your ears again!"

"Grandson wouldn't dare."

Although he said this, his expression was flat, and he didn't look like he wouldn't dare at all.

The old lady was about to be angered to death by him, so she simply ignored him and waved at Rong Ci, asking her to come over and sit.

Rong Ci sat over and asked: "Grandma, are you going out to play later?"

"Not 'you guys', it's 'us'!" The old lady smiled: "Let's go together. Xiao Ci, where do you want to go to play? Grandma will listen to you."

Sometimes Rong Ci also felt that she was indeed a very boring person.

She really couldn't think of any entertainment venues that everyone would like.

She said: "Anything is fine, I'll listen to you."

The old lady actually already had an idea, and hearing Rong Ci say this, she asked: "Then how about hot springs? Last time I said I wanted to go to the hot springs but didn't get to, and was angered to the point of getting sick by someone; this time I must have someone make it up to me."

This "someone" naturally referred to Feng Tingshen.

Feng Tingshen listened and continued to drink tea calmly, his face showing no discomfort or embarrassment because the old lady mentioned this matter.

As if that matter wasn't worth mentioning to him at all.

He had never taken this matter to heart either.

Thinking of this, Rong Ci withdrew her gaze.

She had already been to the hot springs before.

Currently, she had no feeling for hot springs.

But since the old lady had said so, she could only cooperate with her: "Okay."
