Shen Jingyan was slightly surprised when she heard He Haowen's voice.

She didn't expect He Haowen to call her on his own initiative.

"Comrade Shen Jingyan, I just wanted to let you know that after a day of hard work by the school, we have basically recovered the more than 500 autographed photos that Gu Qing and Li Juanjuan sold. However, there are a very small number of students who are unwilling to hand them over for various reasons. There are about 30 or 40 of them. We are currently actively contacting and communicating with the parents of these students. We hope that through our efforts, we can recover all the autographed photos."

Shen Jingyan was surprised by the school's high efficiency, which must be inseparable from He Haowen's supervision and hard work.

Aside from expressing her gratitude to He Haowen, she really didn't know what else to say.

"Comrade Shen, I think it's better to return those autographed photos to their rightful owners. When do you have time, come to the school and take them back."

Shen Jingyan glanced at her watch; it was not yet ten o'clock. Her afternoon classes didn't start until two o'clock, so she had plenty of time.

"Okay, Teacher He, I'll be at school in half an hour!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jingyan hurriedly washed up. To show respect for He Haowen, she put on light makeup and wore a more formal outfit.

He Haowen has helped so much, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go empty-handed, but it wouldn't be appropriate to go and give a gift in a grand manner either.

After thinking it over, she simply packaged a set of books written by Old Man Xu, put a thank-you card inside, and went to the school.

He Haowen had been waiting under the same banyan tree since last time.

When he saw Chen Jingyan, dressed in a beige shirt and white coat, walking gracefully towards him, he blushed unconsciously again.

The girl in front of him was so bright and dazzling that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Teacher He? Teacher He?"

He Haowen didn't realize that his eyes were a little unfocused. Shen Jingyan called him several times before he came to his senses.

"Oh! Comrade Shen! Here's an autographed photo, take it..."

Shen Jingyan accepted the autographed photo and thanked him with a bright smile.

"Teacher He, you've helped me so much, I really don't know how to thank you. This is a set of books written by my grandfather, Professor Xu. Please take it as a pastime in your spare time!"

"Professor Xu? Is that the aerospace scientist Professor Xu Zhiyuan?"

He Haowen excitedly accepted the book.

Shen Jingyan nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's him. Teacher He teaches Chinese and knows my grandfather, right?"

He Haowen treasured that set of books like a precious gem, holding it close to his chest.

"Of course I know! The new edition of the high school Chinese textbook includes one of Professor Xu's popular science articles. Professor Xu is not only knowledgeable but also has excellent writing skills. My favorite article to teach is Professor Xu's!"

He looked at Shen Jingyan with envy and said, "Comrade Shen, you are so lucky. Your husband is a well-known scientist, and your grandfather is a famous scientist both at home and abroad."

It turns out that scientists are admired by so many people in this era. Shen Jingyan couldn't help but sigh that she was indeed very lucky to be able to meet so many important people at any time.

Shen Jingyan felt that sending only one set of books was not enough to express her gratitude to He Haowen.

So she extended a warm invitation: "Teacher He, do you have time tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner!"

He Hao quickly declined, saying, "No need for you to spend money! I appreciate your kind offer."

Shen Jingyan insisted, "Teacher He, it's no trouble at all. I'd like to invite you to my home for dinner. You've helped my husband and me so much; my husband should thank you in person!"

Looking into those clear and sincere eyes, He Haowen was completely captivated. He struggled for a moment, but ultimately agreed.

Calm and joyful, Yan said, "Then we'll see you tonight!"

Around 4 PM, Shen Jingyan found Gu Zhiyun, who had just finished class.

Gu Zhiyun didn't have classes for the next two periods, and he was just about to take the calculation data to Old Man Xu when Shen Jingyan said:

"Brother Yun, let's not go see Grandpa today. Let's go to the market to buy some groceries. I'm inviting Teacher He over for dinner tonight."

Shen Jingyan had already told Gu Zhiyun about He Haowen's help in collecting the autographed photos, and Gu Zhiyun was very grateful to He Haowen.

He readily agreed, "Okay, I must thank him in person!"

The two bought a whole basket of chicken, duck, fish and meat at the market.

Passing by Jinxiangji Pastry Shop, Gu Zhiyun personally selected several exquisite pastries to entertain He Haowen.

These pastries aren't cheap; we usually can't afford to eat them at home.

After buying the groceries, the two went home and got busy.

At six o'clock, Gu Qing went home after school.

Smelling the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen, she peered inside, her mouth watering.

"Uncle, Aunt, you made so much delicious food today! Did you notice I've lost weight recently and want to give me some good nutrition?"

Shen Jingyan glanced at her and said, "You wish! Your homeroom teacher, Mr. He, is coming over for dinner tonight, so watch your table!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing shrank back in fright: "What? Teacher He is coming? Auntie, can I not come out and eat in my bedroom? Eating at the same table as the homeroom teacher is too scary!"

Shen Jingyan didn't expect Gu Qing to be so afraid of He Haowen, so she readily agreed.
