Chapter 51 - Sources of Risk
Chapter 51 - Sources of Risk
【Last wish proposed by: Lin Shengjia
Situation summary: Lin Shengjia is the youngest son of the Ji family, the richest family in South City. Soon after he was born, the Ji family's nanny replaced him with her own grandson. He was sent to an orphanage and was adopted by the Lin couple shortly afterwards. During middle school, Lin Shengjia was discovered and recognized by the Ji family by chance, but Lin Shengjia still had a close relationship with the Lin couple, and his nanny grandson Ji Xingzhe did not leave the Ji family either. Later, because Lin Shengjia was inferior to Ji Xingzhe in every way, and Ji Xingzhe secretly targeted and framed Lin Shengjia, the Ji family gradually became disgusted with Lin Shengjia. After the Lin couple fell seriously ill due to an accident, the Ji family finally gave Lin Shengjia a life-saving money and at the same time cut off their relationship with Lin Shengjia. Lin Shengjia dropped out of school to take care of his adoptive parents, and then worked hard to pay for the follow-up expenses. His adoptive parents died three years later, and Lin Shengjia died in a car accident two years later.
Wish: To stay away from the Ji family, stay with my adoptive parents, study hard, get admitted to a top-notch university, and live out my adoptive parents' lives. 】
——Such a simple task can have a bad debt trend, and considering this guy is still just a middle school student...
——Then he is most likely a poor student.
Ning Fei stood in the corridor, knocking on the door in front of him while thinking leisurely. When the door locked, Ning Fei immediately pushed up his glasses and smiled.
A middle-aged man appeared in front of the half-open door and looked Ning Fei up and down. Ning Fei was wearing a white shirt, black trousers and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses today, looking gentle and refined. The middle-aged man did not show any vigilance, but asked in confusion: "Who are you...?"
"Hello, I just moved in next door, and I want to say hello to the neighbors." Ning Fei raised the snack box in his hand and gestured, smiling and speaking gently, "My name is Ning Fei, and I'm an English teacher at No. 1 Middle School. What's your name, big brother?"
"It's actually a teacher from No. 1 Middle School! Our Jia Jia is also a student of No. 1 Middle School!" The middle-aged man suddenly realized, and then quickly opened the door, "My last name is Lin, Teacher Ning, please come in and have a cup of tea, our Jia Jia is also at home. Jia Jia, come out quickly, your teacher is here!"
Ning Fei walked in unceremoniously with the gift in hand: "Then I won't be polite."
This is a typical two-bedroom, one-living room house from the 1990s, with an area of no more than 70 square meters. The interior decoration and furniture are quite ordinary. The big-butt color TV in the center of the living room is old, and the floor fan in the living room also makes a slight creaking sound. But the house is still decorated in a warm and tidy manner, full of life. There was another aroma spreading in the room. Ning Fei followed the smell and looked towards the kitchen. A middle-aged woman just happened to come out: "What? Jia Jia's teacher is here? Isn't today Sunday? Why would the teacher come to visit?"
"I just transferred to No. 1 Middle School and happened to move across the street. I wanted to say hello to my new neighbors." Ning Fei smiled at the middle-aged woman, "What's your name, elder sister?"
He looked elegant and cultured, so the woman believed him immediately: "My last name is Luo, and I'm Jia Jia's mother."
"Sister Luo." Ning Fei changed the topic very naturally and handed the gift box to Luo Xiuping, "Some snacks, some of which contain nuts and gluten... uh, some are made of wheat. If someone in your family is allergic, please read the ingredient list on the individual packaging before eating."
Luo Xiuping had probably never experienced this before, so she was a little confused: "Hey, teacher, you are too polite. There is no need to bring anything."
Father Lin also came over and said, "Yes, Mr. Ning, don't spend any more money. Take it back, take it back."
"I prepared some for the neighbors. If you don't take them, there will be so many boxes piled up at my house that I can't finish them all." Ning Fei skillfully negotiated with them, "Please take them. I'm a single man who just moved here from another place. I may need to borrow some vinegar or something in the future. I beg the neighbors to take care of me."
When he mentioned vinegar, Father Lin remembered something: "Then Teacher Ning can have dinner at my house tonight. It's almost ready anyway, so it's just a matter of an extra pair of chopsticks! Jia Jia will need your care in the future!"
Ning Fei pretended to be polite: "How can I be so embarrassed..."
Father Lin: "That's nice of you."
As he was talking, the door of the room opened and a boy who looked like a teenager came out: "Dad, what are you talking about? Which teacher is here?"
Ning Fei smiled at him and said, "Hello, Mr. Lin. I am Ning Fei who will be taking up a position at No. 1 Middle School soon. Maybe I will have the opportunity to be your English teacher in the future."
“…Ah?” Lin Shengjia looked at the young, handsome man in front of him, who looked more than just a middle school teacher. He was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth, “But I…”
"But you...?"
"Nothing." Lin Shengjia seemed to be a little wary of this new teacher who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He didn't say anything else, but just looked away and looked at Luo Xiuping, "Mom, after dinner, my uncle has something to talk to you about."
Luo Xiuping was puzzled: "What's the matter?"
"Sister, let me tell you about my trip to Shenzhen." Another man came out of the room. Ning Fei took a quick glance at the other person and estimated that he was about thirty years old, but his appearance and temperament were not much like Luo Xiuping. He has a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and a large frame, and looks like a mixed-race child. Moreover, his eyebrows and expression make it seem that he has a lot of ideas. If he and Luo Xiuping were siblings, Ning Fei would really be curious about what their parents were like. The randomness of genes is too great.
Ning Fei even asked the "Three-Day Guidance": [Lin Shengjia has an uncle? 】
Three-day guide: [Yes. 】
Ning Fei no longer had any doubts.
"I know you're going to Shenzhen to make a living." Luo Xiuping was puzzled. "Isn't this already settled? What else is there to discuss?"
Ning Fei thought that he was most likely borrowing money, but she didn't expect the man to say, "I want to take Jia Jia with me."
Lin's parents: "...Ah?!"
Ning Fei also said “Huh?” in his heart.
——What’s going on? Lin Shengjia is leaving the Lin family and going to Shenzhen? No wonder this is a bad debt!
Ning Fei didn't need to do anything, Lin's father was the first to object immediately: "No, Jiajia is still a high school student, she needs to study!"
"You can study in Shenzhen, and the educational resources there are not bad. They are accelerating their opening up and internationalization, which will be very helpful in improving Jiajia's English grades and will also allow Jiajia to see the world." The man replied, "Sister, brother-in-law, I talked to Jiajia, and he has a lot of ideas. I'll take him to Shenzhen, and he will definitely achieve more in the future."
"That won't work either. Jiajia is still a child. You are going to do business. How can you take care of him?" Luo Xiuping also said, "If Jiajia wants to go, he has to finish college first."
The man replied: "Jia Jia's English score is only 28 points, it's not easy for her to get into university. She might as well go to Shenzhen with me and change the environment, maybe it will be better. Even if she doesn't get into university in the future, she will be familiar with Shenzhen and it will be easier for her to find a job..."
"It is not only detrimental to the learning of underage children, but also to their growth, for them to be suddenly separated from their parents and placed in a completely unfamiliar environment."
The man's words were interrupted. He looked in the direction of the voice and then looked at Ning Fei several times: "Who are you?"
"Hello, I'm Ning Fei, an English teacher who has just been transferred to No. 1 Middle School." Ning Fei could hear the unfriendly and cautious tone in his voice, but she kept smiling. "I just moved to the opposite door today, so I came to say hello to my new neighbors."
"No. 1 Middle School's English teacher?" The man did not lower his guard when he heard the teacher's identity like the Lin family couple did. Instead, he continued to ask, "I have seen the teachers of No. 1 Middle School. You... don't look like just a teacher."
"Is this a compliment? Then let me say thank you first." Ning Fei chuckled and stretched out his hand to him, "You are... Lin's uncle?"
"Luo Chenghong." The man shook hands with Ning Fei, his tone calm but with a hint of warning, "Teacher Ning doesn't understand our family situation, and doesn't even know much about No. 1 Middle School. There's no need to be so hasty to comment on our family affairs."
"On the contrary, I majored in education both in my undergraduate studies in China and in my graduate studies abroad, and child and adolescent psychology is also one of my important research topics. I am very clear about the serious impact that environmental changes at critical moments can have on students. I am also Lin's teacher now, so I naturally cannot turn a blind eye to Lin's situation." Ning Fei still kept smiling, but did not back down in his words, "Besides, Lin's English... maybe I can help?"
Luo Chenghong and Lin Shengjia: "...Huh?"
The Lins: "Really? That's great!"
***
Ning Fei came back from the Lin family after having dinner. He sent some snacks to several nearby families just to show that he was there, and then returned to his own nest.
The layout of his house is simpler than that of the Lin family, giving the feeling of a bachelor who takes up a new post alone, but the quality of the furniture is pretty good - after all, his character is an English teacher who returned from studying abroad. Ning Fei tore off his shirt as soon as he got home and collapsed on the sofa. After lying down for a few seconds, he got up again, turned on the floor fan, and then collapsed again.
He closed his eyes, but his mind started working rapidly, quickly reviewing the information he had collected that night.
First of all, Lin Shengjia, who is currently in the first semester of his sophomore year, has very unbalanced academic performance. My math and science are passable, my Chinese is average, and my English is terrible. 28 points. Ning Fei almost laughed out loud when he heard it.
——Your English is so poor, yet you still want to run away. No wonder the bad debt risk is so high.
The original owner's grades were actually very good, so he was able to be admitted to his current high school. But after the time traveler came, his ranking quickly dropped to the lower part of the grade because of his serious academic imbalance. It’s difficult to even get into a university, let alone a top-notch prestigious university. After all, there are not many universities these days, and even if college students are not rare, they are still a rare group.
Lin Shengjia must work very hard to have a chance of getting into a good university.
Secondly, it is Lin Shengjia’s uncle Luo Chenghong.
According to the Lin family, this uncle plans to go to Shenzhen alone to develop his career, and this has already been agreed upon. But for some reason, Lin Shengjia also wanted to go to Shenzhen recently. And after he talked to Luo Chenghong, Luo Chenghong actually agreed to take him there. In order to take Lin Shengjia away, Luo Chenghong even gave his sister and brother-in-law a lot of reasons, and it seemed quite reasonable. I just don’t know whether this was Lin Shengjia’s own idea or Luo Chenghong’s.
Fortunately, even if he was her own brother, Luo Xiuping would not easily let him take her son away with him.
Although he was just an adopted son, he was the Lin couple's late-in-life child after all, and their love and care for him was no less than that of any biological parents.
After gaining a preliminary understanding of the situation, the next important step is to go to school tomorrow to handle it.
——I need to have a “frank” talk with Lin Shengjia.
Originally Ning Fei wanted to get this done tonight, but the Lin couple and Luo Chenghong were there, so Ning Fei didn't find a chance to be alone. And in theory, you should still be able to see that "fake" at school.
Ning Fei sorted out his thoughts, and finally a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: "I wonder when he will... Tsk!"
Ning Fei forced himself to interrupt this thought.
"I might as well think about how to get cooler, this lousy weather..."
