Chapter 196

Moreover, it's still possible to see his teacher later.

Geng Jing Shu looked at Xiao Yunzhe's expression, knowing he must be recalling the past, and hurriedly took his hand to comfort him: "Actually, you're also very capable; it's just that back then you had that background, you couldn't help it. If you lacked ability, your father nowadays wouldn't even think of handing the company to you."

"In other words, if you lack that ability, even if they gave you the company, you couldn't manage it, right?" Geng Jing Shu looked at Xiao Yunzhe, eyes full of admiration.

Xiao Yunzhe thought about it, that reasoning was correct, and thus felt relieved: "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile a person."

Xiao Yunzhe fell silent, then added: "The past is ultimately the past; besides, I won't secretly agonize over a school celebration just because of it. It's not that I'm arrogant—I simply don't need to torment myself over such trivial matters now."

Geng Jing Shu also felt that these words weren't him being conceited; there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Thinking carefully about this short period, after Xiao Yunzhe recognized his father, he underwent a great change; he is no longer the former Xiao Yunzhe who was hesitant about everything, and when doing things, he has become much more steady and composed.

Geng Jing Shu knew this was all due to the influence of Xiao Ming.

Previously, they would envy and care about things only because those were heights they could never reach; but now it's different—he, Xiao Yunzhe, lacks nothing, so why would he care whether a school celebration invited him?

When one is in a high position, certain things naturally cease to matter.

On the contrary, those former classmates, now the junior students at the school, if they knew that the son of Wuxingguo's richest man had once studied here, the whole school would probably explode.

Especially those former classmates of theirs, each would be shocked to the point of dropping their jaws.

Whether a school is formidable depends on what kind of teachers it has and what kind of students it produces; in other words, how formidable the teachers are is ultimately achieved by the students.

When that school turns out many formidable individuals, the school naturally appears formidable.

Of course, the teachers' competence is also a necessity.

Furthermore, the various gatherings held by those schools, frankly speaking, are just mixers; those formidable individuals all gather together to get to know each other, forge connections, and possibly even achieve cooperation.

Because anyone with even a bit of ability knows that a network of relationships is extremely important for one's own development.

……

Xiao Yunzhe and Geng Jing Shu quickly arrived at the doorstep of Teacher Wu Pengqing's home.

He knocked on the door.

Soon, that familiar door in front of him opened, and that familiar face appeared before him.

That person wore a gentle smile, looked in good spirits, and he was Xiao Yunzhe's enlightenment teacher, Wu Pengqing.

He remembered that Teacher Wu Pengqing loved health preservation, and looking at his condition, it must be thanks to that practice.

Seeing that the person knocking was Xiao Yunzhe, the teacher seemed not to have expected him to appear; he was first startled, then smiled: "It's Yunzhe, come in quickly."

"Teacher Wu."

Seeing his enlightenment teacher again, Xiao Yunzhe's heart couldn't help but be moved; Wu Pengqing was his enlightenment teacher and had been extremely good to him; back then, Xiao Yunzhe was a child without a father's love or a mother's affection.

Teacher Wu Pengqing not only helped him greatly in studies, but also took extremely good care of him in life.

Teacher Wu Pengqing has a very bland temperament, and only a few students manage to earn his favor.

"Come on, come on, go inside." Teacher Wu Pengqing enthusiastically invited Xiao Yunzhe in; seeing Xiao Yunzhe carrying big and small packages, he chided: "You kid, just your coming to see me makes me happy—why buy so much stuff?"

"I also didn't know what you like; knowing you enjoy health preservation, I brought you something that health-conscious people all love to eat, and also your favorite pu'er tea." Xiao Yunzhe said while handing the items to Teacher Wu Pengqing.

"You, you still remember my hobbies; thank you for your kindness, I'll accept these things, but let me tell you, next time you come you're not allowed to bring anything, or I'll get angry." Teacher Wu Pengqing, hearing that Xiao Yunzhe had brought the tea he loves, felt a surge of emotion.

Speaking, Wu Pengqing glanced at Geng Jing Shu beside Xiao Yunzhe and immediately recognized her.

Geng Jing Shu was the famous beauty of Xiao Yunzhe's cohort back then, and her grades were also excellent; Wu Pengqing knew about her dating Xiao Yunzhe.

Back then, many people who knew of their relationship were not optimistic about them, mainly because Xiao Yunzhe was truly too poor; yet unexpectedly, the two are still together without having split up?

Moreover, judging by Geng Jing Shu's appearance, the child must be about five or six months old.

"You're Geng Jing Shu, right?" Wu Pengqing asked tentatively.

Geng Jing Shu nodded and hurriedly greeted Wu Pengqing: "Um, yes, hello, Teacher."

"Good, good, good, good child, come in and sit." Wu Pengqing ushered the two into the living room and had them sit on the sofa.

Revisiting the old place, after Xiao Yunzhe sat down, his gaze swept around the room; the teacher's home hadn't changed at all, same furniture arrangement, still as clean and tidy.

Xiao Yunzhe felt a lot at once, like a child who had been away from home for years returning home, that inexplicable sense of sorrow and emotion.

Back when he was in school, he often came to Wu Pengqing's home—initially because of studying, later he would go to the teacher's place whenever he had free time, to study and live together with the teacher.

For Xiao Yunzhe, who severely lacked warmth back then, Wu Pengqing's home was a warm home.

And Wu Pengqing also liked this studious, well-behaved child, so he took extra care of him; describing their relationship as akin to father and son is not an exaggeration.

But there's no banquet that never ends; after graduation, Xiao Yunzhe was busy making his way in society, while he was busy teaching, and gradually they lost touch.

"Yunzhe, what would you like to drink?" Wu Pengqing asked after greeting the two and having them sit down.

"Teacher, we'll just have hot water." Having come all this way in chilly weather, Xiao Yunzhe thought to let his wife drink some hot water to warm up, so he didn't stand on ceremony with Teacher Wu Pengqing.

Then, he saw the tea set on the table, both teacups containing tea, and thus asked: "Teacher, are there guests at home?"

Xiao Yunzhe had just finished speaking when a man nearly thirty entered from the balcony: "Teacher, are there guests at home?" The man went in while closing his phone and putting it in his pocket, appearing to have gone out to take a call.

That man wore a suit, black leather shoes, and his every gesture bore an extraordinary demeanor.

Huh?

Xiao Yunzhe was first startled, then quickly recognized the man—this was the strongest senior brother he and Geng Jing Shu had mentioned when they came, Zhao Yixuan.
