Chapter 200

Geng Jing Shu said nothing, but in her heart she was very happy; Xiao Yunzhe, when he was in school, his grades were very good, but just because he was too poor, he was often looked down upon.

If one were to attend the school anniversary, I really don't know what reaction those who previously looked down on Xiao Yunzhe, even mocked him, would have if they also came to the anniversary and saw him.

Just imagining those people's shocked faces, Geng Jing Shu felt extremely delighted.

When Wu Pengqing was looking for the number, his excitement reached its peak; as a teacher, the thing he is most proud of is that the students he taught are outstanding.

Before, because Xiao Yunzhe couldn't go abroad for further study, his colleagues often said that he had wasted his efforts on Xiao Yunzhe.

Now Xiao Yunzhe returns as the richest person of Wuxingguo, which is a great boost of face; he can't wait to show off in front of his colleagues.

"Director Du, it's Old Wu speaking; I have something to tell you."

"One of my students, could you make an invitation for him to come back to school for our anniversary, and arrange an outstanding alumnus honor for him."

At the school office, Director Du was resting; when Wu Pengqing called, his mood was still calm, but after hearing Wu Pengqing's request, the director became unsettled: "This, Old Wu, the invitation is fine, but this honor is too much trouble for me."

"Our anniversary honor list is already out, the quota is fixed; this can't be settled just by talking. Otherwise, let's discuss it at the next anniversary; you tell me in advance, okay?" Director Du said, embarrassed.

Actually, it's not that difficult; at the anniversary there will be many media and guests, and the honor award recipients are essentially the school's living advertisements—not something you can just give out casually.

"Director Du, no matter how difficult, you must give this honor." Wu Pengqing said firmly.

"Huh?" Director Du, hearing his tone, couldn't help but become curious, and asked: "Old Wu, what's the situation with this student you mentioned? Why do you value him so much?"

"When we invite former students back for the anniversary, there are certain considerations; I don't need to explain them to you, unless it's someone like your student Zhao Yixuan, then we would invite, and that's also arranged in advance; if you suddenly ask me to add a person, even someone like Zhao Yixuan would not be possible."

"Could it be that the student you're talking about is even more outstanding than Zhao Yixuan?" Director Du asked offhand.

"Outstanding, he must be outstanding—the son of Wuxingguo's richest person; you say, isn't he outstanding?" Wu Pengqing said, his tone full of pride.

His words were blunt, but he was stating a fact.

Not to mention that Xiao Yunzhe's grades were already good when he was in school; even if he is now an upperclassman, having the identity of the richest person's son naturally elevates his status.

The richest person's son, once a top student at their school—how impressive is that?

If publicized by the media and invited guests, their school's reputation will surely become widely known.

Director Du was stunned by Wu Pengqing's words, unable to recover for a long time!

The richest person's son?

As a principal, he naturally understands even better what this identity signifies.

He repeatedly doubted whether his ears were playing tricks, or that the usually serious Wu Pengqing was joking with him for the first time; thus, after staying silent for a while, he asked in surprise: "Who are you talking about?"

"Are you serious?"

"His name is Xiao Yunzhe, a student of mine from a few years ago; he is the son of Wuxingguo's richest person, Xiao Ming." Wu Pengqing replied: "Moreover, it's very likely he will come to our school together with his father for a visit."

The principal on the other end of the phone fell silent again.

After a moment, Wu Pengqing smiled and asked: "Director Du, can you arrange it now? Won't it be too troublesome?"

"Arrange, must arrange, arrange immediately." Director Du came to his senses and quickly affirmed.

"Good." Having received a satisfactory answer, Wu Pengqing exchanged a couple of polite remarks with the principal and then ended the call.

Wu Pengqing returned to the dining table: "Yunzhe, I'm counting on you and Yixuan to bring me honor, haha; having such outstanding students makes me truly proud."

"Teacher, you're overpraising me." Xiao Yunzhe replied with a smile; the teacher's action made him not feel offended but rather happy, showing that the teacher's affection comes from the heart.

It's just like parents who, when their child gets first place, want to show off to relatives and friends.

As for Zhao Yixuan, he merely smiled and said nothing.

He is considered one of Wu Pengqing's more outstanding students, but at an institution like Zhehai University, talent is never lacking; although he brings some honor to the teacher, the teacher's excitement is entirely because of Xiao Yunzhe.

He understands that.

No matter how outstanding he is, in front of the richest person's son he is basically nothing; moreover, he is not someone prone to jealousy.

If it were him, having taught a student like the richest person's son, he might even be more excited than the teacher.

After finishing the meal, Xiao Yunzhe and Geng Jing Shu said goodbye to Teacher Wu Pengqing and prepared to leave.

"Yunzhe, we should keep in touch more from now on; I don't know why, but when we talk, our thoughts are quite similar, which is interesting." When leaving, Zhao Yixuan and Xiao Yunzhe shook hands to say goodbye.

"That's necessary; I also feel a sense of meeting you late, we must keep in touch." Xiao Yunzhe replied with a smile.

When saying goodbye to Wu Pengqing, Xiao Yunzhe solemnly said: "Teacher, regarding the matter I mentioned to you, please give it careful consideration; I and my father await your good news."

"Fine, I've thought it over and will reply to you." Wu Pengqing nodded in agreement; this surprise came too suddenly, and even now he feels as if he's dreaming; he needs to calm down and think it through properly.

……

Xiao Yunzhe and Geng Jing Shu had barely left the teacher's house for about an hour when Zhehai University's forum exploded.

Because, just now, the school suddenly reissued a list of special guests; the name that popped out unexpectedly first left the alumni puzzled.

Then someone said, according to the school, the newly risen richest person of Wuxingguo would also come to attend the anniversary.

As soon as this news came out, the alumni went crazy.

Xiao Ming is practically a national male idol; many students are his fans, and the already grand anniversary became even hotter than ever because of this news.

Moreover, some alumni who had achieved considerable success and graduated many years ago, upon hearing this news, all canceled their plans for that day and intended to return to Zhehai University to attend this anniversary.

Furthermore, the sudden appearance of Xiao Yunzhe's name on the honor list also made the university extremely curious.
