0058 Childhood
"dd, dear Jifan, what are you doing?"
A message suddenly popped up at the top of his phone. It was from Xiang Nannan. Jiang Jifan clicked on it and replied, "I'm researching some financial issues."
"Why don't you ask Tai Ching-ge about these questions? He's a professional."
Jiang Jifan was about to say that she knew, when she sent another message: "Don't you know? Taiqing graduated with a master's degree in finance."
She really didn't know...
A dimensional reduction attack, is that it?
“You’ll get used to it. Your boyfriend has always been this outstanding since he was a child,” Xiang Nannan said with a hint of a smile in her voice.
Tantai Qing was always the model child, and she was used to it, having long since accepted the fact that she wasn't very bright.
There's probably a difference of about ten Song Yuchangs between her and Tantai Qing, maybe more.
Jiang Jifan, who has an extremely strong thirst for knowledge, asked Tantai Qing the first thing he did after returning home.
"You have a master's degree in finance? Why have I never heard you mention it before?"
Tantai Qingdan laughed and said there was no need to constantly talk about his academic qualifications. He added that he minored in computer science in college and originally wanted to pursue a master's degree in computer science, but something happened at that time and he didn't continue.
Jiang Jifan asked curiously, "What could possibly be hindering your studies?"
“My grandmother passed away at that time, and I was anxious to return to China to see her one last time. After that, I stayed in City B.”
He looked a little sad, which made Jiang Jifan feel sorry for him, but she didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only give him a silent hug.
Tantai Qing embraced her and whispered, "That's all in the past. She was a very kind person, and I believe she will be well taken care of in heaven..."
Remembering Xiang Nannan's words that he had been an outstanding person since childhood, Jiang Jifan asked, "How did you spend your childhood?"
"Like other kids my age, studying at school and attending extracurricular classes after school?" Tantai Qing thought for a moment before answering.
She then asked him what extracurricular classes he was taking and whether they were tiring.
Tantai Qing shook her head and laughed, "There are too many, I can't remember them all."
As the only child of the Tan family, he was naturally the focus of the family's education, so Tantai Qing had been studying continuously since he was three years old.
To improve his handwriting, he needs to learn calligraphy; to improve his physique and promote growth and development, he needs to learn basketball and swimming; to cultivate his logical thinking, he needs to learn programming and math olympiad; and to have a special skill that he can be proud of in front of adults, he also needs to learn piano and art, and so on.
Jiang Jifan was speechless, his mind racing with calculations of how much manpower and resources it would take for him to learn so many things.
"Let me see your brain." She cupped his head, looking it over from left to right. "How can it hold so much?"
And they all learned so well...
Tantai Qing was both amused and exasperated. She removed Tantai Qing's hand and asked in return, "And you? How did you spend your childhood?"
When asked about her childhood, Jiang Jifan paused for a moment, then said quietly, "It was probably mostly studying."
"But not as hard-working as you."
In her childhood, there were no extracurricular classes to attend; it was good enough if she could have enough to eat and wear.
However, Jiang Jifan did not want to mention these things in front of him for the time being. She was not someone who liked to expose her hardships and difficulties to everyone.
Tantai Qing didn't know why her mood suddenly became somewhat depressed. Considering some previous events, he guessed that her childhood must not have been very good.
"I'm not going to say anything more." He was about to say something comforting when he saw her suddenly get up from his arms, skillfully put on her black-rimmed glasses, turn on her computer, and prepare to work.
Confused, he walked over to her and asked, "Are you working tonight?"
Jiang Jifan pushed up his glasses, turned his head to look at him seriously, and said, "I need to work hard and strive to be worthy of you."
Tantai Qing couldn't help but chuckle, but looking at her serious and earnest expression, he couldn't tell whether she was telling the truth or not.
He hugged her from behind, leaned down and whispered teasingly in her ear, "Then you'd better try your best."
Jiang Jifan shoved him with her body, pretending to be angry, and said, "Get away! I hate the rich!"
Then, her slender fingers began to strike the keyboard heavily, as if they contained a great deal of resentment.
Tantai Qing smiled and kissed her on the cheek, then thoughtfully turned on the lamp for her. "Then you can continue with your work. I'm going to take a shower now."
At first, she thought she was joking, but when she woke up in the middle of the night and saw that the lamp was still on, Tantai Qing was startled.
He frowned and sat up. "Ji Fan, aren't you done yet?"
At first, Jiang Jifan was too engrossed in his work to hear him, but after a while, he heard his shouts.
She turned to look at him. "What's wrong? Did I wake you up?"
Tantai Qing shook her head and said no, "What are you busy with? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Jiang Jifan pulled off his glasses, rubbed his face with both hands, and said wearily in a low voice, "The report I submitted was returned. It has to be submitted by tomorrow morning at the latest. I'm revising it now."
A new CFO joined the company, whose work requirements were extremely strict, even to the point of being terrifying. Although she prided herself on her strong work ability, she was now feeling quite troubled by the CFO's difficult demands.
She sighed, put her glasses back on her nose, and said without turning her head, "You go to sleep first, I'll be fine soon."
Not wanting to disturb her, Tantai Qing agreed and turned over to continue sleeping.
Nearly an hour later, after the sound of typing finally stopped, the man lying on the bed with his back to her opened his eyes.
Actually, Tantai Qing hadn't fallen asleep at all. After getting up and finding her asleep on the table, he gently carried her back to bed.
When Jiang Jifan woke up the next day, he suddenly remembered that he had fallen asleep in the middle of the night and that the report was not finished. He was scared half to death.
It wasn't until Tantai Qing comforted her and explained, "I've already written it for you," that she understood.
"However, I don't know much about your company, so just in case, you should still take a look."
Upon hearing this, she immediately jumped out of bed to check and found that he truly lived up to his reputation as a finance master's graduate; the report was practically perfect, without any flaws. He had simply added some details and corrected the existing errors on her original basis.
Jiang Jifan admired it quietly for a moment, then ran back and hugged the man who was still catching up on sleep in bed, giving him a big kiss. Her eyes sparkled with joy as she said, "You wrote very well, thank you!"
Tantai Qing opened his eyes and saw the undisguised admiration and excitement in her eyes, and immediately came to his senses.
He is a man, and occasionally he has a man's vanity. Being admired by someone he likes is a very satisfying thing.
He draped his arm over her shoulder and pulled her down, gently returning her kiss with a smile, "Go wash up, I'll take you to work later."
