Chapter 197: Just one look left me stunned

Xiao Yunzhe and Geng Jing Shu subconsciously glanced at each other, both secretly wondering why Zhao Yixuan had come here.

"Yun Zhe, this is Zhao Yixuan, three years ahead of you, and he's the president of Chiyuan Limited Company." Seeing Zhao Yixuan enter, Teacher Wu Pengqing hurriedly made the introductions.

While introducing Zhao Yixuan, Wu Pengqing felt full of pride; Zhao Yixuan was his most outstanding student, now the president of a large company.

Zhao Yixuan is Wu Pengqing's prized disciple; his ability also shows, from another angle, how excellent Wu Pengqing is at teaching.

Actually, Xiao Yunzhe was also quite good; back in school he was a top student, and the school had two slots for overseas further study, which he took one of.

It's a shame; this kid's fate isn't great. If he had been born with better circumstances, he could have gone abroad to study properly back then, and perhaps his achievements now would be no less than Zhao Yixuan's.

But fate toys with people.

However, even though Xiao Yunzhe didn't achieve great success, Wu Pengqing still dotes on this student; after all, people's hearts are made of flesh, this child's background elicits sympathy, and besides, they've spent several years together, so their feelings are deep.

"Senior Zhao, I've seen him before; back when I hadn't graduated yet, when our school held its celebration, I saw him when he came, and I still remember what he said then. Senior Zhao is a role model for us juniors, and everyone likes him." Xiao Yunzhe stood up, reaching out his hand to Zhao Yixuan as he spoke.

"Senior!"

"Don't be so polite!" Zhao Yixuan also didn't have the airs of a senior big shot; he was easygoing and shook hands with Xiao Yunzhe: "I never expected my influence to be this big; thank you for your kindness."

Zhao Yixuan inexplicably felt that Xiao Yunzhe was very familiar, but after searching his memory carefully, he couldn't recall who Xiao Yunzhe was.

Looking closely, he saw nothing special about Xiao Yunzhe, and he couldn't help feeling a bit dazed: "A junior also came to see the teacher?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yunzhe nodded: "What about the senior? I just found out our school is holding a celebration; is the senior invited to attend the celebration?"

"I came to see our teacher; happening to run into the celebration, I just went along to join in." Zhao Yixuan said.

Zhao Yixuan spoke quite naturally, without giving the impression of brushing people off, which improved Xiao Yunzhe's impression of him a bit; having achieved so much yet remaining modest and unassuming—that's what someone destined for great things should be like.

Unlike Xiao Yunzhe's other classmates, who speak with hidden barbs and are full of hostility, Xiao Yunzhe feels that even saying one more word to such people is a waste.

There are few people as cultivated as Zhao Yixuan.

"I've heard of you; you're also one of Teacher Wu's favored students. Putting it that way, we could be considered brother disciples. You're younger than me; if you don't mind, may I call you Yun Zhe?" Zhao Yixuan's inquiring gaze fell on Xiao Yunzhe.

"That's great; how could I mind?" Xiao Yunzhe nodded.

Then Zhao Yixuan's gaze turned to Geng Jing Shu: "Yun Zhe, is this your partner?"

When Zhao Yixuan looked at Geng Jing Shu, a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes; he secretly thought, this woman is truly beautiful—just one look left him stunned.

However, Zhao Yixuan wasn't someone powerless; he quickly withdrew his gaze and gave Geng Jing Shu a slight nod, counting it as a greeting.

"Hello, senior; Yun Zhe and I are in the same year." Geng Jing Shu responded politely, and then everyone took their seats under Teacher Wu Pengqing's greeting.

"Yixuan, you're so busy now you don't need to keep worrying about this old man; just send a WeChat when you have time, but don't let it interfere with your work." Teacher Wu Pengqing said to Zhao Yixuan.

This wasn't just polite talk; Teacher Wu Pengqing works in finance, he knows how busy Zhao Yixuan is, and he isn't unreasonable—occasionally coming to see him or exchanging a couple of greetings is enough.

He knew that Zhao Yixuan's current state must be working overtime every day; otherwise, his company wouldn't have developed so quickly.

"It's fine; even when I'm busy, I still have time to come see the teacher." Zhao Yixuan replied.

Zhao Yixuan's words brought a look of relief to Teacher Wu Pengqing's face.

"Yun Zhe too, if you come to see me with sincerity, I'll be happy; when you have time, come sit and chat with the teacher; if you're busy and have no time, just send a WeChat. You young people have your own affairs to attend to, and the teacher understands as well." At this point, Teacher Wu Pengqing turned to Xiao Yunzhe and said.

When facing Xiao Yunzhe, Teacher Wu Pengqing's mood was truly complex.

Back then, Xiao Yunzhe was also one of his very proud students; he poured his heart into nurturing him, but his birth was simply……

When he learned that Xiao Yunzhe had given up the chance to study abroad because he didn't want to leave his two younger sisters behind, he felt both moved and sad.

He thought back then, if Xiao Yunzhe had had a better background, the outcome might have been different.

He heard some students say that Xiao Yunzhe, not long after graduating, started a business, not wanting to fail, pouring all his net worth into it—and not only that, he ended up owing a ton of debt.

He very much wanted to do something for this child.

It just so happened today that Xiao Yunzhe and Zhao Yixuan came to see him together; Zhao Yixuan's career is now thriving, and he thought that if Xiao Yunzhe needed help, he could ask Zhao Yixuan to arrange a decent job for him, and he still had some influence to pull that off.

"Yun Zhe, where do you work these days, and what do you do?" Teacher Wu Pengqing asked concernedly.

"I……"

Xiao Yunzhe didn't quite grasp Teacher Wu Pengqing's intention; after thinking, he answered honestly: "I work in the President's office at Minghui Group."

He took out his business card from his pocket, handed one to Teacher Wu Pengqing and another to Zhao Yixuan.

"What?" Upon hearing the four words "Minghui Group," Zhao Yixuan froze; he knew what Minghui Group was, and he stared in shock at Teacher Wu Pengqing beside him, seeing that the teacher also looked stunned.

Zhao Yixuan secretly marveled, never expecting that his junior would actually work at such a formidable company, be able to enter the President's office and work beside the president—that would practically be the president's right-hand man.

The boss of Minghui Group is the newly risen richest person of Wuxingguo.

Based on that, in front of Xiao Yunzhe, he isn't anything at all.

Don't look at him just as a company president; Xiao Yunzhe is merely an employee working for the boss. Normally, if Xiao Yunzhe went to his company to handle something, the president would have to receive him with utmost respect.
