My wife said we should seize every opportunity to learn.
Only by seizing the opportunity can one climb the ladder to advancement.
Otherwise, if you miss it, you'll never have another chance.
So when Mr. Qian wanted to build ships, he learned how to build them.
Learn as much as you can.
Even if we can't build a whole ship, we can at least get some important parts.
Learn whatever you can, wherever it may be useful.
Mr. Qian appreciated his efforts, patted him on the shoulder, and took him to listen to a lecture by a mechanical engineering professor.
He translated for He Yushen throughout the entire process, and He Yushen took careful notes.
Although He Yushen couldn't understand the professor speaking in a foreign language, he inexplicably understood by observing the changes in the model in the professor's hand.
This may be the difference between having talent and rote memorization.
He understood it just by looking at the model.
The professor glanced around the classroom and, seeing that he was the most attentive, let him go up.
He Yushen was a little flustered when he was suddenly called out.
It was Boss Qian who encouraged him, "Go ahead, it's okay if you can't speak, just put together the professor's model."
He Yushen understood and went up to start assembling the model.
The professor was very satisfied with what he saw.
He even rattled off a few words of praise in a foreign language.
He Yushen didn't understand, but seeing the professor's happy expression, he figured he must have spelled it correctly.
The students present looked at him with envy.
After class, some classmates asked him questions.
But because of the language barrier, they could only communicate through gestures using models.
Surprisingly, two people from different countries actually managed to understand each other through gestures using models.
Finally, they patted each other on the shoulder, feeling as if they had known each other for a long time.
Mr. Qian and Professor Qin exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.
The three of them went out for dinner together that evening.
I also brought that foreign classmate with me.
The young foreigner was tall and handsome, highly educated, and about the same age as He Yushen.
His name is Charlie, and he has already started learning Chinese from He Yushen during the meal.
He was very eager to learn, and He Yushen taught him, "Eat. It's delicious!"
This was written to him by his wife.
Charlie understood and smiled, "Let's eat, yes."
Mr. Qian said to Professor Qin, "Why don't we take this little foreigner back to his country?"
Those who can attend classes at this school are either rich or noble, or exceptionally gifted.
If you can bring one back, you'll have made a profit.
Professor Qin smiled, "Let's see if you can persuade them."
Mr. Qian was very confident and had already gone over to get closer to Charlie.
He Yushen, however, thought of calling home.
He asked Professor Qin how to make an international call back to let him know he was safe.
Professor Qin said that international telephone communication is not yet well-developed, and people can only rely on writing letters.
He Yushen hurriedly wrote a letter to let people know he was safe, and also packed up the foreign chocolates he had collected and sent them back with them.
Two months later, Sheng Yueqing received it.
The items were delivered by a junior police officer.
They said a batch of imported goods was being delivered, and the deliveryman simply dumped it at the police station so they could inspect it before delivering it again.
When the police officer saw that the recipient was Sheng Yueqing, he handed it to her.
Upon hearing that it was sent by He Yushen, Sheng Yueqing hurriedly came to see it.
He Yushen's handwriting on the letter was neat and tidy, just like his work style.
He said he was doing well there and had even made a foreign friend, a young man named Charlie.
He said he missed her and asked how her family was doing.
There was also a piece of high-end chocolate in the letter.
Fortunately, it was sent out in winter, so it didn't melt and was still rock hard.
Sheng Yueqing checked the production date; it hadn't expired yet, so it should be safe to eat.
She broke off a small piece and tasted it; the flavor was rich and fragrant, and it was especially delicious.
It tastes a bit bitter, but mostly fragrant.
Seeing her staring blankly at the letter, Qi Xinxin smiled and said, "You miss him that much?"
Sheng Yueqing shrugged. "It's impossible to say I don't want to."
After all, if someone who's always around suddenly leaves without a trace, leaving her all alone here, she'd probably start overthinking things if she didn't have a strong heart.
Fortunately, she is very busy every day.
I have to make pancakes, take orders, learn foreign languages, and take college entrance exams.
She didn't get to go to university because Zhang Dahua took her money when she was in the countryside.
Now that she has the money and time, she's retaking the college entrance exam.
Later experience taught her that diplomas are also important.
She learns whatever is available now to keep herself busy and prevent her from overthinking.
Moreover, she is really busy; she's been incredibly busy just taking on the recent wedding cake business.
Ever since those wealthy ladies from the Chu family ate her wedding cakes last time, several others have come to place orders with her.
Although the order volume wasn't very large, I bought quite a lot bit by bit.
In particular, Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Sheng have both promoted her wedding cakes, and now wealthy ladies come here to order wedding cakes when they have happy events.
Sheng Yueqing was busy making wedding cakes and occasionally had to work part-time making clothes.
With college entrance exams looming, I really don't have time to think about anything else.
Only before going to sleep, when he occasionally thinks of He Yushen, will the corners of his mouth turn up slightly.
I guess he must be very busy over there.
It feels so good to know that we're both preparing for the future.
There is hope for the future.
He Yushen was indeed very busy.
Boss Qian was worried that he wouldn't learn enough, so he directly put him in the factory and made him work as an apprentice for the master craftsman.
He believes that one can learn more by starting from the bottom.
He Yushen was also a hard worker, willing to endure any hardship and being ordered around and tortured by the master chefs with a smile on his face.
Sometimes, when foreigners or Chinese people deliberately bully him, he just laughs and pretends to be stupid.
