Mr. Tang wished he could slap his thigh in frustration. Why didn't the leaders say they liked overseas students a few years ago? His second daughter was quite good. If he could win the leaders' favor, he would sell everything he owned to support her!
However, the idea only flashed through my mind for a moment.
In order to protect the leader's reputation, the second daughter, Tang Xianfang, could not pursue further education under any circumstances.
Tang's father didn't think he was ruthless. No matter how capable a woman was, after finishing her studies, she still had to get married, return to the family, and be a good wife and mother. Therefore, his second daughter's talent was a bargaining chip that he could use to make a deal.
His successful career in government is the greatest source of confidence for his children's future.
Chang Rihui from Shuangdong Hutong is Chang Pengfei's younger brother, Wu Minjun's ex-husband's brother, Chang Pengfei...
When Tang's father got home from get off work, he immediately called Tang Aifang into the bedroom and they talked for a long time.
Afterwards, Tang Aifang walked out of the room with her head held high and a proud look on her face, looking at Tang Xianfang with great disdain.
My status in this family will always be higher than yours. Dad will only send me to do things this important!

Chang Rihui faced a challenging competition, but ultimately won thanks to his exceptional talent.
She gained countless female fans after just one match.
Talented and good-looking boys are so charming!
The teacher in charge of the team called Chang Rihui into the lounge, beaming with pride: "Rihui, I have some good news for you. According to the leadership's instructions, this time the quota for studying abroad is definitely yours!"
Chang Rihui's expression was slightly cold, not the expected elation.
He shook his head: "I haven't decided yet about studying abroad!"
He was planning to finish the college entrance exam first and study at a university in China, and then go abroad with Keqiao on an exchange program. He couldn't bear to be separated from Keqiao; they would both be in different countries and he would be devastated.
The teacher in charge of the team's expression immediately turned sour. Logically speaking, Chang Rihui should have been grateful to the leaders upon hearing this news. Why did he not play by the rules?
The teacher in charge of the group spoke with a hint of reprimand: "Chang Rihui, although you are very capable, do you know how rare this opportunity to study abroad is? I can't explain this to you."
Chang Rihui chuckled: "Teacher, who are you going to explain this to? My classmate is my own business!"
If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink the penalty cup!
The teacher in charge of the group was furious: "So many people are hoping to study abroad, and you don't cherish it. Do you think the opportunity will just stay here and wait for you?"
"Whatever!" Chang Rihui didn't care. He didn't care about studying abroad or not. Government-funded study abroad had many restrictions, and he didn't like being constrained.
If he wants to study abroad, there are other options.
The two parted on bad terms. On their way back to Beijing from the competition venue, the team leader kept giving Chang Rihui the cold shoulder, forgetting that Chang Rihui had a maturity beyond his years and simply pretending that he didn't exist.
The two of them will not cross paths again after this, so why bother taking it to heart?
Chang Rihui was a magnanimous person who didn't hold grudges, but the teacher in charge of the group hated Chang Rihui's reaction to the core.
Chang Rihui has made it impossible for him to explain himself to his superiors this time!
The news of the award spread throughout the school in advance, and everyone knew that Chang Rihui had once again brought honor to the school, not only the school but also the district.
Chang Rihui didn't even go home; he rushed to the school as soon as possible to see Keqiao.
Chang Rihui's entrance into the classroom caused a sensation. He and Ke Qiao stood facing each other across a noisy crowd. He smiled, while Ke Qiao blushed and turned away shyly.
Ke Qiao was furious. This guy is too wicked!
The class monitor's eyes darted between the two of them. He casually pulled a female classmate who had a crush on Chang Rihui over and started teasing them.
"Rihui, why did you rush back? Is there someone you absolutely must see?"
Everyone: "Yo—"
The female classmate blushed deeply amidst the cheers and jeers.
Ke Qiao turned his head away unhappily.
Chang Rihui laughed heartily and patted the class monitor on the shoulder: "Class monitor, I've missed you the most while I've been away. I'm afraid you're the one who's been thinking about me the most at school!"
Everyone: "Yo—"
The class monitor was disgusted; his face turned a deep shade of liver. He was filled with rage; this guy had actually disgusted him!
After resolving some trouble, Chang Rihui headed towards the location of Keqiao in the back row.
Ke Qiao caught a glimpse of him approaching, her face flushed red, and she immediately got up and made an excuse to leave the classroom.
I was both surprised and delighted.
Chang Rihui's mind went completely crazy during the competition; he dared to be so bold even in the classroom!
In short, Chang Rihui was greeted with congratulations wherever he went on his first day back.
Chang Rihui and Ke Qiao made a plan to go out together during their days off to make up for the time they had been apart.
Full of anticipation, the next day arrived. After washing up, Ke Qiao had breakfast on the first floor. Mrs. Ke, who had already left for work, did not return.
Mrs. Ke's face was quite unpleasant, and Ke Qiao was taken aback.
Mrs. Ke asked anxiously, "Ke Qiao, look in the newspaper, isn't that the two of you in there?"
A tabloid reported an amusing story: a gifted young man lived in a hutong in Beijing. He had won numerous awards in various competitions. This man was a romantic, and for the sake of his girlfriend who was studying at the same school, he was willing to give up his precious study abroad opportunity and stay in China to indulge in a life of decadence.
The article caused a huge uproar as soon as it was published.
It's truly a pity that a gifted young man with numerous awards buried his talent because of romantic relationships.
Some indignant individuals wrote to the newspaper, vowing to find the person responsible and to bring the misguided genius back on track.
...
Ke Qiao became increasingly alarmed as she read on. How could these people publish other people's privacy? Did they even realize the extent of the impact this had on them?
Ke Qiao was having trouble breathing. She forced herself to look at Madam Ke and said, "Mom, I need to call Chang Rihui to remind him..."
"No!" Mrs. Ke said firmly, "Now is not the time for you to call him. Aren't you afraid that your conversation will be recorded? If that happens, the consequences will only be worse!"
Ke Qiao wanted to cry: "Then what should I do?"
What should we do?
Why are these things always holding them back?
Mrs. Ke patted her shoulder reassuringly: "Go to school first, and see how things go."
If possible, it would be even better to get in touch with Chang Rihui's parents.
Ke Qiao arrived at school with a troubled expression. Her classmates were discussing the newspaper article when they saw her enter the classroom. They immediately stopped talking and stared at her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
The female classmate and her friend, who had been dragged out and teased by the class monitor yesterday, looked at Keqiao with anger.
"Hmph, so that's how it is. No wonder they seemed so strange. I thought they were hiding it so well, but they ended up in the newspapers!"
Ke Qiao forced himself to remain calm and didn't want to say a word.
The class monitor came over and whispered to her, "Chang Rihui was called to the principal's office before you arrived!"
