Chapter 198: Successful Probe

This Xiao Yunzhe is also incredibly impressive, right?

He actually managed to reach such a high position in such a large company?

The first to regain composure was their teacher Wu Pengqing. Wu Pengqing, after looking at that business card for a minute, exclaimed in surprise: "Yunzhe, you said the Minghui Group—is that the Minghui Group that's been all over the internet lately? The boss is our Wuxingguo's newly risen richest person?"

Xiao Yunzhe nodded.

Wu Pengqing was moved: "Really? Not bad, not bad, truly not bad. I said you're this smart kid; if you got a chance, you'd surely rise step by step. I didn't expect you actually did it—I'm so relieved."

Wu Pengqing believes in Xiao Yunzhe's ability; seeing Xiao Yunzhe reach this point, he feels genuine joy from the bottom of his heart.

He thought, this poor child has finally welcomed the light of his life.

"Teacher Wu, I came today not only to see you, but also specifically to discuss something with you." Xiao Yunzhe, at this point, seized the lead in the conversation and told his teacher the purpose of this trip.

"I once heard you say that Wuxingguo's development is indeed quite rapid, with commercialization becoming ever more widespread and stronger, yet there has never been a company that could make a name for itself worldwide and generate very 1 strong international influence."

"Then, Teacher, what do you think—how can we create such a company?"

"Your question…" Wu Pengqing fell silent, turning his gaze to Zhao Yixuan: "Yixuan, what do you think? Tell us your view."

"Let me share my view: today's society is an era inseparable from electronic products—phones, computers, etc. If we could develop such a company, staying at the forefront of the times, able to meet the needs of the vast majority of people, then it could exert great influence on the world."

Afterward, Zhao Yixuan expressed many of his own ideas, raising many issues Xiao Yunzhe had not previously considered; Zhao Yixuan's words gave him much inspiration.

Beside her, Geng Jing Shu listened attentively to the conversation; seeing Xiao Yunzhe's eyes full of interest, she knew he had been inspired again.

Since reuniting with her father Xiao Ming, she has noticed that Xiao Yun is becoming increasingly business-savvy and more confident; seeing Xiao Yunzhe draw nearer to his dream, she is overjoyed.

Such an Xiao Yunzhe is how he ought to be; such a life is, for Xiao Yunzhe, truly a good life.

"Teacher Wu, what do you think if it were the Minghui Group, the Inscribe Joy Group…" Xiao Yunzhe listed the names of the several large groups under his father Xiao Ming's name, then asked: "You say, if we merged these several groups together into one big company, what would happen?"

"If we really did that, I think it wouldn't take long before a super-large international company would be born." Wu Pengqing said seriously.

"Um, Teacher, if you were asked to be the CEO of such an international large company, would you be willing?"

Xiao Yunzhe asked this tentatively; as he spoke, he kept his eyes fixed on Wu Pengqing's face, afraid to miss any important information.

Wu Pengqing clearly hadn't expected Xiao Yunzhe to suddenly ask such a question; he was taken aback, about to give a casual reply, but seeing Xiao Yunzhe looking at him so seriously, he swallowed the casual words he had almost spoken.

Wu Pengqing wondered how he could find today's student so strange.

He faintly felt that Xiao Yunzhe's question wasn't asked on a whim; what exactly did he intend to do?

Seeing the teacher remain silent, Xiao Yunzhe kept his probing gaze on him, then realized he had just done something improper and hastily withdrew his gaze.

"Yunzhe, how could you suddenly ask me such a strange question out of the blue?" Wu Pengqing voiced his doubt.

"Yunzhe, you say this isn't practical; I know a bit about the Minghui Group. Our Wuxingguo's newly risen richest person is only in his forties, the prime time for business ambition. Moreover, that newly risen richest person has achieved his current wealth and status, showing he's a business genius. Such a person wouldn't entrust his own company to someone like me who has hardly managed a business, would he?"

"In other words, even if he wanted an assistant, capable people are everywhere domestically and abroad—there's no way it would fall to me, a mere teaching teacher." Wu Pengqing laughed as he poured hot tea for the two students.

Although the teacher's words seemed offhand, Xiao Yunzhe clearly saw the light flickering in his eyes.

Looking at this situation, is there a chance?

Xiao Yunzhe instantly brightened up; since this probing attempt had succeeded, he saw no need to beat around the bush any longer: "Teacher Wu, actually, besides personally wanting to see you today, my father also sent me to meet you."

Xiao Yunzhe intended to tell Wu Pengqing the whole story, after all, since he was going to ask for a favor, and the other party was a teacher who had once treated him so well, being upfront would show greater sincerity.

"Your father?" Wu Pengqing looked baffled; beside him, Zhao Yixuan also looked puzzled at Xiao Yunzhe.

Wu Pengqing belatedly reacted: "Yunzhe, you mean you've found your father?"

Wu Pengqing knew that his mother had passed away relatively early; as for his father, it was said he hadn't seen him since birth, and his two sisters were his only relatives in this world.

"Mm-hmm!" Xiao Yunzhe laughed.

"Teacher, I have now changed my surname to follow my father's—I am surnamed Xiao."

Wu Pengqing looked at Xiao Yunzhe in surprise, suddenly recalled something, and hastily picked up the business card Xiao Yunzhe had just given him, which he had casually set on the table.

Just now he hadn't noticed this small detail; upon closer look, the student originally called Wen Yunzhe is now called Xiao Yunzhe.

"Xiao Yunzhe, Xiao Ming—I recall the CEO of Minghui Group is named Xiao Ming…" Wu Pengqing muttered to himself, suddenly realizing something, and abruptly turned to Xiao Yunzhe: "Yunzhe, could your father be…?"

"Teacher Wu, what's wrong?" Beside him, Zhao Yixuan, seeing the teacher's reaction, seemed to grasp something as well, and eagerly wanted to get confirmation from the teacher.

Afterward, both Wu Pengqing and Zhao Yixuan stared at Xiao Yunzhe in shock.

Only seeing Xiao Yunzhe nod: "Teacher, senior, my father is Xiao Ming."

"It was my father who sent me to find you, Teacher. If you're willing, I'll immediately arrange for him to meet you and discuss the details." Xiao Yunzhe's attitude was extremely sincere.

This…

Wu Pengqing and Zhao Yixuan were both stunned, unable to utter a word for a long while.
