Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Niu Chunsheng was definitely unwilling in his heart for others to take a stake in his Spring City Real Estate; this was a project into which he had poured almost all his money and energy, but he also knew very clearly in his heart that this piece of meat of his, whether he wanted to cut it or not, had to be cut.

Boss Zhang's seemingly casual joke actually hid a blade; if he didn't know what was good for him, Boss Zhang had a hundred methods to kill his Spring City Real Estate.

After all, Boss Zhang had the County Government backing him, while although Niu Chunsheng also had various connections, they weren't good enough to share honor and disgrace with those people.

Boss Zhang's Huangsheng Hotel was directly opened right next to the County Government, specially established to entertain those people.

While his Niu Chunsheng's supermarket, though located in the center of the County Town Commercial Street, would still have people from various departments come to inspect it every few days. Spring City Real Estate hadn't even opened for business yet, and had already been inspected for fire safety several times.

With this contrast, one could tell which was light and which was heavy.

As a shrewd businessman, Niu Chunsheng certainly wouldn't be so short-sighted as to only want to guard his own interests.

Besides, taking the initiative to curry favor with Boss Zhang at this time, although it meant giving up some profit to Boss Zhang, he also gained Boss Zhang this big thigh; the road ahead would definitely get wider and wider.

"No need to negotiate, Boss Zhang you just name a price, I have no reason not to agree!"

Niu Chunsheng responded to Zhang Sheng with a hearty laugh, acting very generous and heroic.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Sheng laughed even more proudly:

"Everyone says Boss Niu is good at socializing; seeing you today, your reputation is indeed well-deserved. I just like making friends with straightforward people like you!"

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly said:

"Boss Zhang is also a man of character; I've long wanted to make friends with Boss Zhang, just never found the right opportunity. Today counts as fate arriving."

Zhang Sheng asked at this time:

"Heard you're quite familiar with this year's College Entrance Exam Top Scorer; how about helping introduce me? Our small county town hasn't produced a Top Scorer in so many years; now that one has appeared this year, this person will probably be extraordinary in the future!"

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly said:

"Boss Zhang, this year's College Entrance Exam Top Scorer is right there. When I was a Stationed Village Cadre before, I knew his parents, and this connection has been maintained all along, so that's how I know them."

Niu Chunsheng brought Zhang Sheng to Wang Xiaohua's side.

At this time Wang Xiaohua was still writing his speech draft.

"Xiaohua, this is Huangsheng's Boss Zhang, come greet him quickly!"

Niu Chunsheng enthusiastically called out.

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly put down the pen and paper in his hand, stood up and greeted Zhang Sheng:

"Hello, Boss Zhang!"

Zhang Sheng looked Wang Xiaohua up and down, discovering Wang Xiaohua had a short stature and inferior appearance; inwardly he was somewhat stunned and surprised. He had thought the Top Scorer would be a spirited young man, but never expected it to be this image; nevertheless he still laughed heartily and proactively extended his hand to shake Wang Xiaohua's hand in greeting:

"Truly one cannot judge a person by appearance! When you become rich and powerful outside in the future, don't forget this small county town of your hometown!"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:

"Definitely, definitely. There's a saying: 'Wealth and honor not returning home is like wearing embroidered robes at night'; that would be meaningless."

Zhang Sheng laughed heartily and said:

"Look, this is the Top Scorer's ability; he opens his mouth and quotes classics!"

Then patted Wang Xiaohua's shoulder:

"Young man, I think highly of you! Let's exchange contact information, okay?"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:

"Okay okay, many thanks Boss Zhang for thinking so highly of me!"

The two exchanged contact information.

Zhang Sheng at this time had Niu Chunsheng take him to see Wang Xiaohua's parents.

Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan were right there not far away at this time; they weren't sitting together with Wang Xiaohua, not wanting to disturb Wang Xiaohua writing his speech draft.

At this time Wang Changgen felt somewhat nervous inside. Just now Xiao Xueqing said he should also go on stage and say a couple sentences when the time came; his head got hot and he agreed, because that would give him a lot of face. Now calming down and thinking about it, having to speak on stage still carried quite a lot of pressure. Most importantly, he actually wasn't very good at speaking.

"Brother Changgen, Sister-in-law Xiulan, this is Huangsheng Hotel's Boss Zhang!"

Niu Chunsheng came before Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan to greet them.

"Hello Boss Zhang, hello Boss Zhang!"

Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan hurriedly responded.

Zhang Sheng glanced at this elderly couple before him; the clothes they wore were actually still old styles from twenty-plus years ago, and on their feet they didn't have leather shoes or high heels matched, but ordinary shoes.

This made him sigh inwardly: how could poor people raise such a good son?

Perhaps some things are just innate; no matter what one does, talent is too important; studying is the same.

"Two fellow villagers, hello!"

Zhang Sheng wore a face full of smiles, looking very amiable and approachable.

He also said:

"Thank you two for cultivating such an outstanding talent for our county town. Our county has never gotten a County Top Scholar; this time it counts as a proud moment!"

Wang Changgen, praised so politely by Zhang Sheng, immediately became smug and elated.

"Speaking of doing business I might not compare to Boss Zhang, not even to Chunsheng; but speaking of how to educate children, not to brag, I'm definitely more formidable than you all! My son has today's grades, it was me who single-handedly trained him!"

Wang Changgen spoke eloquently and at length.

Listening to this, Niu Chunsheng at the side couldn't help feeling embarrassed in his heart.

Zhang Sheng, unaware of the truth, immediately became full of curiosity:

"Oh? Is that so? Then please enlighten me, how did you educate your child? I'll take it as reference; maybe later I can also use your method to educate my child!"

Wang Zhanggen said:

"First point, and the most important one: you must completely ban any electronics! If you're studying you can't use a mobile phone, can't use MP3, MP4 — if you can't do that, don't even think about studying well; electronics have too big an influence on kids!"

Zhang Sheng half-believed half-doubted, couldn't help but ask a sentence:

"I just added your son's contact information; if I didn't see wrong, he's still using an Apple phone……"

Wang Zhanggen hurriedly explained:

"That was bought after his college entrance exam; if he dared buy a phone before the exam, I'd break his legs!"

Zhang Sheng nodded, a face of sudden realization:

"So Mr. Wang's requirements for his own son are this strict; no wonder he could achieve such good college entrance exam scores!"

Wang Zhanggen was smugly pleased:

"Can't not be strict; if not strict he has no self-discipline. Look how many rural kids now — high school not even finished, they drop out to go work. It's because they lack self-discipline: either addicted to phones, or climbing the wall out of school to go online!"

"Makes sense!" Zhang Sheng nodded, "Your words are very reasonable! I've learned from you!"

Zhang Sheng even sighed from the heart:

"Seems my discipline of my son really was too lax. You don't know — today my son also took the college entrance exam, but he only scored three hundred-something points. With that score, can't even get into a public university in the country. No choice — I can only plan to spend money to send him abroad for further studies."
