Chapter 1306

~8 min read 1,401 words

The three looked in the direction of the sound and found a middle-aged man with a strong build, wearing sports shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, jogging towards them.

Ye Chen also couldn't help but look at this middle-aged man. The other party was about 1.8 meters tall, with a very well-proportioned figure, and had muscle lines all over his body. He looked like he was only in his early forties.

Moreover, it was so cold, yet he was wearing so little while running. One look and you could tell his physical fitness was very good.

What's more rare is that this man was very handsome and had a thick head of short hair. He really had a lot of style.

As soon as Xiao Xiao Changkun saw this man, he immediately became vigilant. While looking the other party up and down, he couldn't help but feel a bit inferior.

Compared to this man, Xiao Xiao Changkun was just an ordinary fifty-year-old middle-aged man. He didn't exercise, didn't work out, and didn't have systematic diet and exercise habits. His spirit and energy were a big chunk behind the other party's.

At this time, Han Han Meiqing also said with a surprised face: "Oh my, Old He, why are you here?"

The middle-aged man called Old He smiled slightly and said: "I'm out for a run, didn't expect to run into you here."

Xiao Xiao Changkun looked at the other party's energetic spirit, feeling more jealous in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Han Meiqing, who is this?"

Han Han Meiqing hurriedly introduced: "Xiao Changkun, this is my colleague at the University for the Elderly, Old He, He Yuanjiang. Old He was a professor of economics and management at MIT before, and he just returned to China recently. He is the vice dean of the School of Economics and Management at Jin Ling University of Finance and Economics, and also a visiting professor at the University for the Elderly."

Hearing Jin Ling University of Finance and Economics, Ye Chen couldn't help but think to himself: "Isn't this the school Qin Qin Aoxue attends?"

After saying this, she said to He Yuanjiang: "Old He, this is my former university classmate Xiao Xiao Changkun, and beside him is his son-in-law Ye Chen."

Xiao Xiao Changkun subconsciously asked: "MIT? What MIT?"

At this time, He Yuanjiang took the initiative to explain to Xiao Xiao Changkun: "Mr. Xiao, hello. MIT is the abbreviation for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MIT is a university in the United States."

Xiao Xiao Changkun's expression immediately became incomparably awkward.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a top-tier institution ranked in the top three in the world. Xiao Xiao Changkun is also a person who has been to university, so of course he has heard of it.

It's just that he didn't know that the abbreviation for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was MIT, so he immediately exposed his ignorance.

Looking at this man again, Xiao Xiao Changkun felt even more inferior and ashamed: "The guy is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. To be a professor at MIT, his degree must be at least a doctorate, right? And me? I'm just a bachelor's degree graduate from Zhong Shan University. My level is a hundred thousand miles behind his. And this guy has a body of tendon muscles, looking young. Damn, standing face to face with him makes it seem like I'm his second uncle..."

Seeing Xiao Xiao Changkun not speaking for a long time, He Yuanjiang took the initiative to ask with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, hello. I wonder where Mr. Xiao is working now?"

Han Han Meiqing on the side introduced: "He is an executive director of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Our calligraphy interest group at the University for the Elderly often has interactions with them."

He Yuanjiang nodded and laughed: "I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to be in the calligraphy and painting circle. I actually like calligraphy very much too. I practiced it for some days before, but now my work is relatively busy, so I have no time to take care of it. If there is a chance, I will definitely learn from Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Xiao Changkun didn't expect this guy to be awesome in terms of education and background, and even so humble when he opened his mouth. He felt even more that he was lacking, and stammered: "Oh... this... no rush, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

After saying this, he deliberately looked at the Rolex on his wrist and said: "Old Brother He, it's getting late today, we have to go first. Sorry about that."

He Yuanjiang smiled slightly: "It's okay, Mr. Xiao, go ahead if you have things to do."

As he spoke, he said jokingly: "By the way, Mr. Xiao looks to be about fifty years old?"

"Right, fifty." Xiao Xiao Changkun nodded.

He Yuanjiang laughed: "Then you can't call me Old Brother. I am a few years older than you. I already had my fifty-fifth birthday in January this year..."

"What?!" Xiao Xiao Changkun asked dumbfounded: "You are fifty-five this year?!"

"Right." He Yuanjiang laughed: "I just had my fifty-fifth birthday in January this year. In terms of nominal age, I'm fifty-six..."

Xiao Xiao Changkun's expression suddenly became a bit ugly.

It wasn't because he was angry, mainly because he was too inferior.

He thought He Yuanjiang should be around forty-five. He didn't expect this guy to be five years older than him!

He Yuanjiang looked at Han Han Meiqing at this time and asked her: "By the way, Han Meiqing, Mr. Xiao has things to do and is leaving first. What about you? Are you in a hurry to go back? If you aren't in a hurry, shall we run for a while more?"

Han Han Meiqing hadn't run enough yet and felt that her physical strength and energy seemed to be still very abundant. Hearing He Yuanjiang's suggestion, she agreed almost without hesitation and laughed: "Okay, I just happened not to have run enough. Let's run for a while more."

After saying this, she looked at Xiao Xiao Changkun and Ye Chen and laughed: "Xiao Changkun, Ye Chen, then I won't go back with you. Ye Chen, drive slowly on the way back."

Xiao Xiao Changkun was depressed to death and wanted to stop her, but he didn't know where to cut in.

Ye Chen agreed and said to Han Han Meiqing: "Auntie Han, then we'll go first."

After saying this, Ye Chen pulled Xiao Xiao Changkun: "Dad, let's go."

Xiao Xiao Changkun was extremely annoyed. When he returned to the car with Ye Chen, Han Han Meiqing was already running forward with He Yuanjiang.

He looked at their backs and said angrily: "Ye Chen, that grandson said he is fifty-five years old. How can a fifty-five-year-old person be so young?!"

Ye Chen laughed: "People like to exercise. Just like Auntie Han, most of the credit for being able to keep herself so well comes from long-term unremitting exercise."

Xiao Xiao Changkun smacked his lips and said with a dark face: "I think this grandson is interested in your Auntie Han!"

Ye Chen said casually: "Auntie Han is so excellent, surely many men are interested in her, right?"

Xiao Xiao Changkun said anxiously: "The key is, this grandson also seems quite excellent! A professor at MIT, just this title is already very scary. If things go wrong, he will become my biggest competitor!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse: "Damn, you say this bunch of grandsons who went abroad, since they went out, can't they just stay abroad honestly? Why run back and show off?"

Ye Chen didn't care and said with a smile: "When young, one leaves home; when old, one returns. Chinese people ultimately hope to return to their roots. Besides, people returning to China to be professors is also a contribution to the country. At the very least, they can cultivate talents for the motherland."

Xiao Xiao Changkun said angrily: "Then losing him is not a loss for the country! Especially since this guy came from the United States! Your Auntie Han has also lived in the United States for many years, so they must have a lot of common language. And me? I haven't even seen what the United States looks like!"
