Guan Baiyu met his first client.

He was a 20-year-old young man who went to the same university as Liang Qinxuan. He didn't choose a good major when he went to university and ended up in the mathematics department. Now he suffers every day from studying and always fails.

He didn't want to continue studying, but dropping out was too embarrassing, and he couldn't change his major because his grades were too bad.

Then he wanted to go abroad, but he didn't know how to get there, so he was conflicted.

At that time, not many people went abroad; most of them were government-sponsored students, and they were all top students from prestigious universities.

This person doesn't know anyone like this, and he's too scared to go abroad alone... He doesn't even know what procedures are required for traveling abroad.

Now we're counting on Guan Baiyu.

Guan Baiyu asked him and found that he was really rich and didn't care about which university he should attend after going abroad.

He has quite a few universities to choose from, but some of them have requirements such as writing a thesis.

In addition, he should also brush up on his English, so he won't be at a loss when he actually goes abroad.

Of course, he could also go abroad and attend a language class first.

With a computer available, Guan Baiyu can help with the contact.

Guan Baiyu has even contacted some of his seniors who have gone abroad from their school. If this person goes to study in the city where his seniors are, his seniors can help take care of him.

Of course, we'll have to give them some money then.

Guan Baiyu had recently compiled a lot of information, and he didn't hide it from the other party, showing it to them directly.

This was his first client, and since Liang Qinxuan had introduced him, he wasn't going to play any tricks.

When that person arrived, he was still somewhat suspicious.

Although Liang Qinxuan described Guan Baiyu as something extraordinary, Guan Baiyu was still a student, so he naturally didn't dare to believe him completely.

However, when he saw the documents Guan Baiyu brought over and saw the handwriting on them, he secretly thought it was impressive.

These characters are so beautiful!

This information is so comprehensive!

Guan Baiyu said, "I'm sorry, we just got the computers and stuff all set up here, but we haven't bought a printer yet, so we don't have any printed materials at the moment."

He just bought two computers for office use, but he doesn't have the money to buy a printer.

"It's alright, I'll just look at this information!" After looking at the information, the man asked Guan Baiyu for his suggestions.

After discussing it, the two finally chose a university located in the city where one of Guan Baiyu's senior classmates lived.

Even their major was decided – to study English as a foreigner.

Ahem, anything too difficult might prevent you from graduating. Learning English is the best option! Especially since this major at this school is specifically designed for international students from countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Guan Baiyu immediately told him about the university's admission requirements.

This university isn't particularly famous, so it's relatively easy to get in, but there are still paper requirements, and it's best to find a recommender or something... Of course, he can help with all of that.

Furthermore… Guan Baiyu said, “The tuition at this school isn’t cheap, and the dormitories there are also incredibly expensive…”

"It's okay, my family works in the coal mines."

Guan Baiyu said, "Then it's alright." What else is there to say? At this time, the coal mine owners were the ones making the most money.

"If I could really go abroad to study... I have a few brothers, could we go together?" the man asked. Studying alone would be too lonely; it would be better to have a few more people with me.

Guan Baiyu replied without hesitation: "Of course!"

After thinking for a moment, Guan Baiyu asked again, "By the way, do you need English training? Not the really difficult stuff, but you should at least learn some everyday conversation."

"Yes, I want to! Where is the training held?"

“I can arrange for someone to provide you with on-site training,” Guan Baiyu said. “Our school’s top students, twenty yuan an hour, no problem, right? Of course, I’ll make the introduction for you, and I’ll charge a two hundred yuan introduction fee. Then, if you’re not satisfied, I’ll be responsible for replacing you with someone else.”

“No problem!” the man said immediately. His dad earned tens of thousands a day, and twenty yuan an hour seemed like a bargain to him.

Mainly, he was the best student among his father's five children, so his father was most willing to spend money on him.

Twenty yuan an hour is already a very high price for Guan Baiyu's classmates.

Guan Baiyu had thought that this person would hire one teacher to tutor them all, but he didn't expect that this person would hire three at once and even generously give Guan Baiyu a thousand yuan.

It's really easy to make money off the rich.

After receiving the money, Guan Baiyu first asked Qi Xiaowu if he was willing to tutor people in English.

Qi Xiaowu was shocked: "I tutor people in English? My English isn't very good..."

“You’ve been reading along with the recordings lately, and your accent has improved a lot. As for teaching them… just prepare your lessons well before you start,” Guan Baiyu said.

If Cheng Qi Xiaowu is determined to do it, he can definitely do it well. In fact, by teaching in this way, his own spoken English will also improve.

Qi Xiaowu hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Okay!"

After getting Qi Xiaowu, Guan Baiyu went to the English department of their school and found two boys who had good spoken English and nice personalities, asking them if they wanted the job.

It's all men there, so it's not appropriate to hire women for part-time jobs. And for tutoring jobs, sometimes the teacher's personality is more important than their teaching ability.

Both boys were willing, after all, it was 20 yuan an hour, and if they worked for an hour a day, they could earn 600 yuan a month!

After doing all this, Guan Baiyu helped the coal mine owner's son contact schools abroad.

His fees aren't cheap; the agency fee for studying abroad is 10,000 yuan, and there are additional fees for other things.

For example, asking someone to write a letter of introduction, helping with passport processing, etc.

Guan Baiyu learned many things by trial and error, but he didn't mind asking questions and running around, and he was able to get things done.

Compared to how he used to beg people everywhere just for a job, this is nothing.

When Shi Zhen came to see Guan Baiyu this Friday, he found Guan Baiyu typing away in English.

He couldn't understand a single word.

However, upon seeing him, Guan Baiyu stopped writing and rushed over to hug him, exclaiming, "Brother!"

Shi Zhen had already closed the door, and now he held Guan Baiyu in his arms and kissed her again: "Xiaoyu... I missed you so much."

He is now really trying to change himself, for example, by saying what he really thinks.

"I miss you too," Guan Baiyu said.

Shi Zhen's heart trembled.

After a while of intimacy, Guan Baiyu said dejectedly, "Brother, I have things to do..."

"You're busy, I'll read some books," Shi Zhen said.

Guan Baiyu built a bookshelf here and bought some books to put there. Shi Zhen picked one up to read.

When he was young, he couldn't get into these books, but as he got older, he was able to.

The strong blowing of the machine caused confusion.

Guan Baiyu continued working, glancing at Shi Zhen every now and then. Seeing Shi Zhen reading a book beside him made him feel particularly good, and he became more efficient.

He wasn't a good-tempered person, and he even held grudges quite a bit, but if Shi Zhen were around, all the dark thoughts in his mind would disappear.

After writing and sending the email, Guan Baiyu hugged Shi Zhen tightly.

At the same time, two guests arrived at Teacher Li's home.

It was Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng who arrived.

When Teacher Li and Cao Li saw the two of them, they were startled: "Did something happen to you?"

Both Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng looked unwell, especially Mu Tian, ​​who appeared haggard and much older.

Jiang Xingsheng had spent many years doing research. He was old-fashioned and rarely smiled. He wasn't familiar with Professor Li and Cao Li, so he remained silent.

Mu Tian smiled and said, "Some things have happened... but not all of them are bad. Let's go inside and talk about it."

That's what she said, but there was an unconcealable bitterness in her eyes.

Once inside, Cao Li brewed tea and served it to them, looking at Mu Tian with concern.

Mu Tian took a sip of tea before saying, "I got pregnant a while ago."

Cao Li was taken aback: "What?!"

Mu Tian's family had some connections, so after her divorce from Jiang Xingsheng and her return to university, she remarried quite well.

That man's family was also quite extraordinary.

As a result, the man, relying on his family's connections, prospered in the 1980s and took advantage of that opportunity. In the early 1990s, he had an affair, and the two divorced in 1992.

Last year, Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng remarried.

Mu Tian was with that man for nine years. The first two years were fine, but later Mu Tian was constantly disliked and talked about by him.

That family thought that the reason the couple had never had children was because Mu Tian was infertile.

In fact, everyone else felt the same way. After all, Mu Tian had given birth... It was one thing to suffer during her postpartum period, but then that kind of thing happened right after she finished her postpartum period, so she really hadn't recovered well.

So when Mu Tian wanted to get a divorce because of this, her family advised her that she didn't need to get divorced again, and that if it really didn't work out, she could adopt a child.

Later, when that person cheated on her, Mu Tian's family stopped stopping her.

Unexpectedly, Mu Tian became pregnant after the divorce.

But judging from Mu Tian's appearance... did she lose the baby?

Sure enough, Mu Tian said, "I didn't expect to get pregnant, I wasn't paying attention at all... I lost the baby."

“I was wrong too,” Jiang Xingsheng said.

He asked the doctor, and since he's in his fifties, his health isn't good to begin with, so the baby might not be able to survive.

In short, when Mu Tian discovered she was pregnant, the baby's condition was not good; later tests revealed there was no fetal heartbeat.

Therefore, Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng took leave and planned to come over to relax and recuperate.

"That's such a pity..." Cao Li sighed.

Mu Tian laughed and said, "It's nothing. We're both not in good health, so this is actually normal... and it's not all bad. I sent my pregnancy report to Tao Hanyi. Since I'm fine, then he's the one with the problem. I wonder who his precious daughter is being raised by."

Tao Hanyi was Mu Tian's second husband.

After Mu Tian and he got married, they couldn't have children, so she went to the hospital for a checkup and was found to have some minor health issues. However, these issues shouldn't have affected her ability to conceive, and she later managed to get rid of them.

She asked Tao Hanyi to get checked, but he was unwilling, feeling that he couldn't possibly have a problem.

In addition, Tao Hanyi was very busy, leaving early and returning late every day, and Mu Tian couldn't do anything about it.

Later, Tao Hanyi had an affair.

After their divorce, Tao Hanyi, for some reason, continued to harass her, but she always ignored him. However, when she discovered she was pregnant, Mu Tian felt extremely pleased and immediately sent him the pregnancy test results.

Back then, both Tao Hanyi and that crying, whining mistress who was afraid she wouldn't get a divorce and went to her school to cause trouble were quite disgusting.

Mu Tian didn't want them to have an easy time.

Cao Li immediately thought of this as well, and said, "This is truly gratifying!"

As the three chatted, they talked about their upcoming work and Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng's plan to buy a house.

Mu Tian is a university professor. Jiang Xingsheng used to be doing classified research. After he transferred to teaching and research in recent years, his position is higher than Mu Tian's. The two of them have a lot of savings and high income, so they plan to buy a nice house here.

Cao Li took them around for a few days, and they found a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment near the school and bought it.

The school will actually assign them dormitories, but they haven't officially started working yet, so they don't have dormitories assigned for the time being.

Guan Baiyu usually spends his weekends with Shi Zhen, but he goes back to school after the weekend.

After returning to school, Guan Baiyu found time to visit Teacher Li again.

Once this relationship is established, it can't be left unattended; you have to keep in touch from time to time. This time, Shi Zhen came to see him and brought him some local specialties from Changxi City, so he gave some to Teacher Li.

Guan Baiyu didn't linger this time; he left after putting down his things.

As he was leaving, he encountered a middle-aged couple at the door of Teacher Li's house.

This must be Teacher Li's guest. Guan Baiyu smiled at the person before leaving.

As soon as Mu Tian entered, she asked Cao Li with some curiosity, "Who was the person who just went out?"

“He’s one of Lao Li’s students,” Cao Li said.

"Is he Old Li's prized student?" Mu Tian smiled. "The young man is quite handsome."

"She's good-looking, but she has some bad habits," Cao Li said with a hint of complaint.

"What's wrong?" Mu Tian asked curiously, not knowing what was going on, but she had a good impression of the young man from earlier.

“His family is in business, so he’s a bit calculating in his dealings with people,” Cao Li said.

Cao Li didn't have much of a problem with those business people, but after Tao Hanyi made money in business, he cheated on her and divorced Mu Tian... She felt that the business circle had a bad atmosphere.

Lately, there have been some news stories, like which coal mine owner is spending lavishly somewhere.

What kind of behavior is this!

He became extravagant and wasteful after getting rich, and he didn't want his wife who had shared his hardships. All of this disgusted Cao Li.

As for Guan Baiyu... Cao Li saw him driving a car a few days ago, and he looked like a spoiled brat picking up Guan Baiyu from school.

She felt that this person was too flamboyant and not the type to do serious academic work.

Thinking this, Cao Li told some things about Guan Baiyu.

Mu Tian's goodwill towards Guan Baiyu vanished, and Jiang Xingsheng frowned even more.

They quickly changed the subject, and as they talked, they came up with the child that Mu Tian had been kidnapped from.

What happened at that time was something no one could have predicted.

Mu Tian was traveling alone by train. When she stopped at a station to buy some food, someone snatched her child. She screamed and chased after the person, but the person had already disappeared into the crowd.

Mu Tian reported it to the police and searched for a long time, but couldn't find it. Now... no one knows where the child has gone.

Thinking of her child, Mu Tian's mood plummeted again.

She firmly believes that her child is still alive, but she dares not think too much about what her child looks like now.

There is a very small chance that the child's adoptive parents are well-off and will pamper him, allowing him to grow up happily.

But... those families who buy children are generally not well-off and are also ignorant.

They bought a boy to carry on the family line, so they probably wouldn't treat the child too badly, but other things...

Well, if her and Jiang Xingsheng's child had grown up with them, he would have been able to study well and would probably be in college now.

But in the countryside... back then, there were many children out of school in the countryside.

Not to mention, there could be other unexpected events.

Mu Tian was in a bad mood. Cao Li comforted her for a long time, while Jiang Xingsheng seemed to be deep in thought.

The house that Jiang Xingsheng and Mu Tian bought was already renovated. After returning to their residence and washing up, they went to bed. Jiang Xingsheng then asked, "Tian Tian, ​​Lingling's son studies at our school. Shall we have him come over for a meal in a few days?"

Mu Tian didn't care about these things: "Whatever."

Lingling, whom Jiang Xingsheng mentioned, is Jiang Xingsheng's younger sister.

After what happened, Mu Tian hated the Jiang family. Later, she remarried Jiang Xingsheng, but she didn't like to talk to the Jiang family, especially Jiang Xingsheng's younger brother.

That year, she wanted to take the child to find Jiang Xingsheng, so she went to find Jiang Xingsheng's younger brother and asked him to accompany her. Jiang Xingsheng also asked his younger brother to take Mu Tian to the destination.

As a result, this person abandoned Mu Tian and left!

If Mu Tian had known this would happen, she could have easily found someone else to accompany her to find Jiang Xingsheng!

However, Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng's sister did not have any major conflicts.

When she was pregnant, Jiang Xingsheng's younger sister, Jiang Xingling, was also pregnant, but a few months earlier. Her child was born a few months earlier than hers.

She was pregnant herself, and she loved seeing children; she even held that child.

However, she was heavily pregnant at the time, so Jiang Xingling didn't let her hold her much.

Jiang Xingling's children are indeed studying at the university where they will soon be working.

They had already decided to transfer jobs in the first half of the year. Jiang Xingsheng told his family about this, and Jiang Xingling's son filled in this school when applying for college.

After all, with an uncle who is a professor at a university, his future prospects are definitely not bad.

Putting everything else aside... if he wants to stay at school, and given that his grades aren't too bad, Jiang Xingsheng will always find a way.

While Jiang Xingsheng and Mu Tian were chatting, Guan Baiyu was installing a printer.

When Shi Zhen came over last time, he noticed that Shi Zhen didn't have a printer. He asked him and learned that Shi Zhen was broke, so he spent money to buy him a printer.

As soon as Guan Baiyu finished installing it, someone came over excitedly: "Hey, are you opening a print shop here? I have some documents here, could you make copies for me?"

Guan Baiyu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."

Although Guan Baiyu had renovated the house and it was quite nice, he didn't dare to put up a sign for a study abroad agency outside.

He was a little worried that this was against the rules.

In that case, what kind of sign should he put up?

Just when he was worrying about it, someone came to his door asking for a print job.

Guan Baiyu immediately decided to have a "Baishi Printing Shop" sign made and hang it up the next day. As for the intermediary, he would just write a small sign next to it.

This job mainly relies on customers referring each other.

After Guan Baiyu helped the man copy what he wanted to copy, he started thinking about hiring a few part-time workers.

Speaking of which, there aren't any print shops in or around their school yet... He could totally take over that market.
