Chapter 76: Xu Lao came and met him again
Jiang Fuyue bought a new computer and didn't hide it deliberately. She told Jiang Da and Han Yunru that night.
"Where did the money come from?"
Jiang Fuyue: "I saved it."
"Is that enough? If not, can Dad give me some more?"
"That's enough."
The two of them didn't ask any more questions.
Subconsciously, they have already regarded Jiang Fuyue as a "little adult".
After all, my daughter's excellence is visible to the naked eye and her abilities are evident to all.
On the other hand, Jiang Xiaodi felt jealous. He wished he could be like his sister someday...
Back to school on Monday.
Early in the morning, the news that Jiang Fuyue had scored full marks in the preliminary physics test spread throughout the grade.
In the office, Xu Jing's nose is not a nose and his eyes are not eyes.
"My brother," Meng Zhijian said helplessly, putting down his teacup, "from the time I came in until now, you've snorted at me at least ten times. Is it really that serious?"
"Humph! My brilliant Mathematical Olympiad seedlings haven't blossomed and borne fruit in their own fields yet, but your competitive soil has already been fertilized by milk. How can it not be so? I am so!"
"Oh, you are... so stingy."
"I'm stingy?!" Xu Jing felt offended. "Okay, then return Jiang Fuyue to me."
"No, how can this be?!" Meng Zhijian was not calm, "The rematch is coming soon..."
"Oh, Old Meng, you're here! That's perfect." Zhao Tiejun walked in. "An old man named Xu wants to see you. He claims to be from the Competition Commission."
"Competition Commission?" Meng Zhijian paused. "Looking for me?"
"yes."
"But there's no one named Xu in the Municipal Competition Commission... Never mind. Where is he? I'll go check."
Reception room.
The moment Meng Zhijian pushed the door open, the figure in front of the window also turned around.
When their eyes met, he froze in place, completely stunned.
"Slowly, slowly, slowly... Old man! Why are you here? I... this is really unexpected. Please take a seat!"
"Xiao Meng, I hope I didn't disturb your class?"
"No, no."
Xu Kaiqing sat on the sofa, "Come, you sit too."
Meng Zhijian walked over and sat beside him carefully, suddenly not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
Even though he has been a teacher for many years, he was still as nervous as a primary school student in front of this academic giant.
"Mr. Xu, are there any changes to the competition rules? I'm really ashamed to trouble you to come here in person. In fact, a phone call would have been enough to inform them..."
"It's not about the competition." Xu Kaiqing waved his hand. "Don't be nervous."
"Not nervous, not nervous..." That's strange.
"Xiao Meng is teaching the second year of high school now, and is also leading the competition class, right?" The old man smiled and looked extremely kind.
Meng Zhijian was flattered. "Oh, yes, I will be promoted to the third year of high school when school starts in September this year."
Xu Kaiqing was delighted, but remained expressionless. "Then do you know a student named Jiang Fuyue in your grade?"
"ah?"
"Jiang Fuyue." Xu Kaiqing thought he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again.
Meng Zhijian's expression suddenly became complicated. "I didn't expect that the news of her perfect score on the first exam would reach your ears. Actually, it's unnecessary. Although this student is indeed quite outstanding and did hand in the paper two hours and twenty minutes early, and got a perfect score effortlessly, I didn't expect such a big fuss and even asked you to come here in person..."
Insincere modesty.
Meng Zhijian: I am the teacher with the highest score, I am proud! I am Jiang Fuyue's gardener, I am proud!
At first, Xu Kaiqing was confused.
As I was listening, a light bulb suddenly flashed on my head: Jiang Fu Yue!
Yes, no wonder he felt that the name sounded familiar. Isn’t he the child who scored full marks in the preliminary examination of physics competition in Linhuai this year?
Of course, it is not uncommon to get full marks in the preliminary examination, and there is never a shortage of "geniuses" in the competition field.
But there are two points that are rare.
First, she is a girl. Second, she handed in her paper too early.
The reason why Xu Kaiqing had an impression of it was because people from the Competition Commission had been talking about it for the past two days. No matter how much he didn't pay attention, he couldn't help but overhear it.
I didn’t expect it was her!
…
Class 2-3 of Senior High School.
"Is Jiang Fuyue here? Teacher Meng is looking for her outside!"
Jiang Fuyue got up and went out. At first glance, she noticed that Meng Zhijian looked a little strange. There was a hint of excitement between his eyebrows, but at the same time, he was also suppressing a sense of anxiety in a paradoxical way.
So, what could make him both happy and sad?
"Meng——"
"Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with Professor Xu?"
Jiang Fuyue was stunned: "Professor Xu...?"
Meng Zhijian raised his eyebrows: "Don't know him?"
She found it funny: "Should I know him?"
"That's not right..." If he didn't know her, why would Mr. Xu ask to talk to her alone?
If he saw Jiang Fuyue's potential and wanted to be her mentor, he shouldn't have asked the school and him, the training teacher, to stay away!
"Forget it, come with me..." No matter what the reason, Mr. Xu was still waiting. Since he had made this trip in person, no one could stop him from seeing him.
The two of them walked through the corridor. Jiang Fuyue lagged one step behind Meng Zhijian, with her eyelids half closed, not knowing what she was thinking.
Suddenly, "Teacher Meng, what is Professor Xu's full name?"
"Xu Kaiqing."
Jiang Fuyue's eyes became subtle for a moment.
When they reached the door of the reception room, Meng Zhijian stopped and said, "Go in, Mr. Xu is inside."
"Yeah." He nodded slightly, as calm as possible.
But after opening the door, the first person Jiang Fuyue saw was not Xu Kaiqing.
The tall man stood with his hands hanging down, his white shirt buttoned up to the very end, just revealing his slightly protruding Adam's apple. His long legs were straight under his black suit pants, as if they were cut by a knife.
Cold and abstinent.
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows. It’s true... you can meet him everywhere.
His gaze shifted slightly and fell on the sofa, where a figure was sitting upright. His temples were gray and wrinkles were all over his face, but his old eyes were unusually bright.
Especially when looking at Jiang Fuyue, it was like a gold digger discovering a gold mountain - the excitement and enthusiasm were beyond words.
"Hello, classmate Jiang." He spoke first, keeping his posture very low.
Even Xie Dingyuan was shocked.
Jiang Fuyue's expression was calm and composed, "Hello, Professor Xu."
"Excuse me, did you buy ten used books at Haitang Bookstore last month?"
Jiang Fu Yue remained silent.
Xu Kaiqing gestured and said, "It's about this wide and this thick. It's written entirely in English. Does it have any impression?"
At the same time, Xie Dingyuan's two straight gazes locked onto her tightly, like two hooks, sparing no effort to dig deep into the girl's true emotions beneath her calmness.
"I have an impression." She nodded.
There was no trace of suspicion on her bright and beautiful face.
Xie Dingyuan frowned, but soon he forcibly smoothed out the wrinkle, leaving no trace.
"Where are those old books? Are they still in your hands?" Xu Kaiqing's tone was anxious, but there was still a hint of temptation in his eagerness.
Otherwise, he shouldn't have asked Jiang Fuyue this question even though he knew the books had already been sold.
"No." She said truthfully.
Xu Kaiqing's eyes gleamed brightly: "Who did you give it to?!"
Jiang Fuyue's calm gaze swept across him, and then lightly swept over Xie Dingyuan.
The two of them stopped breathing.
