The atmosphere remained frozen for a few seconds.

It wasn't until Zhan Xiuchen used a white towel to remove the steak from his head that he stopped.

He wasn't annoyed, but just smiled faintly: "Could it be that this cow saw me when it was alive, and even liked me?"

Aunt Fen was immediately amused by Zhan Xiuchen.

Shi Nian, however, found the joke not funny at all.

But she still managed a rare, cooperative smile.

Aunt Fen's heart tightened when she saw it.

oops!

Madam, please stop laughing!

That forced smile looks awful!

It's uglier than crying.

“Mr. Zhan, I would like to learn how to use a knife and fork.” Shi Nian spoke up, “Because I think people should broaden their horizons.”

"Hmm?" Zhan Xiuchen raised his eyebrows.

“The world is so big, shouldn’t people not just confine themselves to their own little world?” Shi Nian said, “So we should broaden our horizons.”

The war repair silence interface.

He sensed that what Shi Nian wanted to say was definitely more than just that.

Her words were loaded with meaning.

Sure enough, a few seconds later Shi Nian seemed nonchalant again: "But knowledge is not just about going up, it should also go down. Just as I have never seen the world above, Mr. Zhan, you have probably never seen the world below either."

“You have a lot of money, you've eaten the most expensive food, and lived in the most luxurious villas, but I'm sure,”

After a pause, Shi Nian looked directly at Zhan Xiuchen and said, "You haven't seen the poorest and most dilapidated houses."

"You've never seen a mother who buys meat but only gives it to her child, lying that she doesn't like it."

"And you've never seen a seventy-year-old farmer still working under the scorching sun, so,"

Shi Nian finally revealed her true purpose: "Mr. Zhan, would you like to see it for yourself?"

"Just like I suddenly want to learn how to use a knife and fork, and see the world above, then Mr. Zhan, aren't you curious about the world below?"

Zhan Xiu's eyes darkened.

He knew that Shi Nian had ulterior motives.

She wanted to take him to the slums.

Although he had gone with them once before.

That was having dinner with Shi Nian's grandfather.

But that trip was very rushed.

This time, however, Shi Nian clearly wanted to take him to see different places.

So what is this little hedgehog trying to do now?

Before Zhan Xiuchen could figure it out, Jiang Yan's words from that day came back to his ears.

Jiang Yan did not choose to follow him.

Jiang Yan felt that his desire to make Country A a more equitable country and create an equal system was not out of empathy for the poor.

He did this solely for his own selfish reasons.

"Okay." After a long pause, Zhan Xiuchen spoke in a low voice.

Perhaps he really should go and see.

Go and see for yourself.

To gain a better understanding of the world of the poor.

It allows us to get closer to the poor.

Perhaps in this way, he will be able to empathize with them.

By then, Jiang Yan might not refuse him anymore.

Talented people are rare.

But he was eager to find talented people.

Therefore, it is recited when agreeing.

One is to be mindful of things at the moment.

The second is Jiang Yan.

Upon hearing Zhan Xiuchen's agreement, Shi Nian's eyes visibly lit up.

She couldn't wait any longer: "When?"

"There's no time like the present," Zhan Xiu said in a deep voice. "Let's do it tomorrow."

Fortunately, there aren't many things to do at the Presidential Palace tomorrow.

He can spare a day.

...

They arrived the next day.

A car crossed the Tiandi River, driving from the wealthy area to the poor.

Looking out the window at the scenery, from the bustling skyscrapers to the dilapidated roads, a look of bewilderment flashed across Shi Nian's eyes.

Not long ago, she was a girl who had never left the slums.

He worked day and night to pay for his grandmother's medical expenses.

But now, she has come to the wealthy neighborhood.

They lived in a luxurious villa.

They got into a luxury car.

This was something she had never imagined before.

She doesn't like wealthy neighborhoods.

Although everyone yearns for a better life.

Shi Nian was no exception.

But when she sees the luxurious life in the rich neighborhood, she always thinks of the people in the slums who are still struggling to survive.

This caused her pain.

Let her struggle.

Therefore, she always hoped that Zhan Xiuchen would let her leave and return to the slums.

But just yesterday, her thoughts changed.

She thought she should stay in the wealthy neighborhood.

Because perhaps, she can do something.

Qin Yajing's words reminded her.

Beauty fades, but love wanes.

A man's love for a woman can fade.

But that doesn't mean that everything a woman gets from a man will disappear.

Although Zhan Xiuchen did not love her.

But now the man is willing to do many things for her.

Perhaps, she can get something from Zhan Xiuchen.
