Chapter 199: Leapt onto the Clouds

This is also incredibly shocking—his student actually jumped from the very bottom straight up to the clouds in one go!

From being a poor kid that everyone looked down on before, who would have thought he'd suddenly become the son of the richest person!

This life is truly like having cheat turned on.

Zhao Yixuan beside him was even more astonished, unable to believe it—who would have thought this junior was actually the son of the richest person? No wonder he just felt Xiao Yunzhe seemed so familiar; now he understands.

It wasn't that Xiao Yunzhe was familiar; rather, Xiao Yunzhe and that newly risen richest person, Xiao Ming, looked almost identical—he had seen Xiao Ming's photo, which is why Xiao Yunzhe seemed familiar to him.

The newly risen richest person of Wuxingguo is the youngest and wealthiest in its history.

Moreover, it's said that the richest person started from scratch, but after over twenty years he built everything he has today, earning him the title of a business genius.

When previously discussing international big corporations, Xiao Yunzhe's unique insights had surprised him; now it seems this is all due to his exceptionally strong genes.

The son of the richest person, the son of Wuxingguo's richest person, was actually standing right before him at this very moment—Zhao Yixuan was so stunned he couldn't come to his senses for a long time.

Just a few minutes ago, Wu Pengqing was still worrying about Xiao Yunzhe's future; in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yunzhe became the son of the richest person.

How could that pitiful-background student now have such a status?

What does being the son of the richest person signify? Wu Pengqing knows this all too well.

Wuxingguo is a country where the tradition of inheriting one's father's business prevails—everything one has is passed down to one's descendants; thus, everything Xiao Ming possesses now will someday belong to Xiao Yunzhe.

"Teacher Wu, my father plans to merge several of his large conglomerates under his name and is looking for a capable person to manage the merged company. The idea of merging these conglomerates came from the inspiration I received from you here, so I recommended you to my father."

"He wants me to first see what you think; if you're willing, he'd like to meet you in person and talk further. So, Teacher Wu, what are your thoughts on this?" Xiao Yunzhe looked at Wu Pengqing with eyes full of expectation.

"This... Yun Zhe, you're saying this too suddenly; I need some time to think about it."

"Fine, let me know once you've decided." Xiao Yunzhe didn't press too hard; for someone like Wu Pengqing, having said this much was enough—the rest would depend on what Wu Pengqing thought.

"Alright, Yun Zhe, you've really shocked Teacher Wu today." At this moment, Wu Pengqing, having recovered from the shock of Xiao Yunzhe's sudden change in background, joked: "Yun Zhe, come and tell Teacher Wu what it feels like to be the son of the richest person."

"Haha! Teacher Wu, honestly, it's not bad—life has instantly leapt to the clouds, I can do whatever I want without restraint, but the pressure is also quite great." Xiao Yunzhe replied.

This is understandable to everyone present—suddenly becoming a wealthy scion, life is naturally wonderful, but such a huge estate will also be his to protect in the future, so he must have sufficient ability.

Ability is not something one is born with.

That naturally means immense pressure.

Xiao Yunzhe is not one of those nouveau riche who, once wealthy, become arrogant and oblivious; from him you sense no airs or hostility of the rich, which let the group's chat atmosphere relax completely.

Having recovered from the shock of Xiao Yunzhe's background, Zhao Yixuan sighed: "Yun Zhe, I never expected you to be the son of the richest person—your background is too impressive! Earlier I thought you looked familiar, but actually it's because I saw your father's recruitment notice."

"You and your father look incredibly alike." Zhao Yixuan exclaimed.

Xiao Yunzhe and Xiao Ming indeed look very much alike, but nobody would associate the formerly ordinary Xiao Yunzhe with Xiao Ming, who stands at the pinnacle of the business world.

Zhao Yixuan instantly felt that, standing before Xiao Yunzhe, he seemed to have shrunk a bit.

Xiao Yunzhe smiled calmly and replied: "Everything I have now comes from my father; without him I'm nothing. Senior, just treat me as an ordinary person—your junior."

Xiao Yunzhe's words were sincere; he has never acted arrogantly just because he is Xiao Ming's son.

It is precisely because of his words that Wu Pengqing and Zhao Yixuan admire him endlessly—having such a powerful background yet maintaining such character is what makes someone capable of great deeds.

"That's well said—when one is in a high position, opportunities naturally increase; but without capital, sometimes even if you have the opportunity, you lack the qualifications to seize it."

"Being able to recognize your father is a heaven‑sent punishment; those past years were fate's trial for you. If you had grown up in a honey‑pot, you might not have today's character."

"You were always a smart child; now with this background, many things become much easier, and you will surely achieve great things in the future—Teacher Wu has high hopes for you." Wu Pengqing said seriously.

Wu Pengqing's words were accepted by Xiao Yunzhe; since everything he has now is hard‑won, he has always cherished it and will make good use of it: "Um, I will, thank you, Teacher Wu."

The arrival of Xiao Yunzhe, Geng Jing Shu, and Zhao Yixuan made Wu Pengqing's mood—well, everyone's mood—good, so no matter what, they all had to stay for a meal; seeing Teacher Wu's genuine enthusiasm, Xiao Yunzhe and the others agreed.

While eating, the conversation turned to the school anniversary; Zhao Yixuan suggested: "Teacher Wu, perhaps the school isn't aware of Yun Zhe's identity either? I think the school should invite Yun Zhe to speak at the anniversary, to give our junior schoolmates a pep talk—given Yun Zhe's current status, if he appears at our school's anniversary, it would also be meaningful for the school."

"Er..."

As Xiao Yunzhe was eating, he almost choked: "Don't, senior—I'm fine as I am, and I don't like occasions like that."

"You're a graduate of our school; your identity will eventually come to light, so you might as well face it calmly—since you're already here, just go and take part in the school anniversary." Zhao Yixuan urged.

Wu Pengqing beside him also voiced his agreement: "Yeah, I think that's a good suggestion; I'll call the school office right away to arrange this."

Saying that, he didn't give Xiao Yunzhe a chance to object, picked up his phone and called the school office.

Xiao Yunzhe gave a wry smile; sure enough, his identity would eventually be exposed, and there was really nothing to hide, so he didn't object further.
