"You mean," Zhao Xuehui said, somewhat incredulously, "that my brother bought these three computers not to play games, but for work?"
"That's right."
Zhou Changgui nodded: "I only believed what Xiao Jiang said after I saw it with my own eyes. When I first heard Xiao Jiang's reason for buying the computer, my expression was the same as yours, we were unwilling to believe it."
"However, he's really doing something worthwhile this time, and I admire him quite a bit. At least he's started a factory and made so much money; he's got a real business mind."
The reason Zhou Changgui kept praising Jiang Sheng was because Jiang Sheng was different now than before; at least he could earn a lot of money.
If he could even please Jiang Sheng, suppressing his disgust and jealousy, he would try his best to elevate Jiang Sheng to a higher position.
Once he gains the trust of this family of idiots and gets Jiang Sheng's money, he'll be set for life!
Zhou Changgui sneered inwardly, but his face showed genuine admiration.
"So I think we should still support him and not discourage him."
After Zhao Xuehui gradually accepted this fact, she was filled with emotion.
"I never expected that Xiaosheng would become more and more amazing. He spent more than 30,000 yuan to buy three computers and can even use them for work. If it weren't for what you told me today, Teacher Zhou, I really wouldn't have known that my brother is so capable."
Zhao Xuehui's face showed genuine admiration, but then she said somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't expect my brother to be so respectful to you. I originally thought that since he was so hostile towards you, he definitely wouldn't give you a friendly look."
"Isn't this a normal thing?"
Zhou Changgui smiled, took the bowl and chopsticks handed to him by the waiter, and started eating while smiling.
"To be honest, I truly admire and respect you. As a fellow man, Xiao Jiang can surely see through my thoughts and feelings."
"Since that's the case, and he treats you like his own sister, he'll definitely be very resistant to me, who is very likely to become his brother-in-law."
Having said that, Zhou Changgui seemed to realize he had said something wrong, and seeing Zhao Xuehui's flushed and embarrassed face, he quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ruin your reputation, I just unintentionally revealed my wishes and ideals."
Zhou Changgui knew that what he had just said would definitely have a bad impact if it got out, so he hurriedly apologized and tried to make up excuses for himself.
"Such wishes and ideals are too beautiful, and I really can't bear to desecrate them. I'm so sorry that saying them has affected you."
Zhao Xuehui was taken aback at first, but then, looking at Zhou Changgui's sincere expression, she felt as if she had done something wrong.
She quickly waved her hand, trying her best to suppress the uncomfortable feeling in her heart: "It's nothing, you didn't do it on purpose, and besides, I think you are a good person."
"That's good!"
Zhou Changgui, seeing that he had the upper hand, stopped talking and smiled, then turned the conversation back to Jiang Sheng.
"However, I think that while doing well in business is one thing, the most important thing is to focus on learning."
After a pause, Zhou Changgui explained his main purpose for coming here.
"So I think we should put the factory business aside for now. School is about to start, and it's most important to focus on studying."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuehui nodded subconsciously: "I think that makes sense, but it's a holiday now, so Xiaosheng can still be taken care of. However, if school starts, I guess he won't be able to keep an eye on things."
"yes."
In order not to arouse Zhao Xuehui's suspicion, Zhou Changgui pretended to be full of concern for Jiang Sheng, concealing his true intentions under the guise of earnest care.
"So I think after school starts, we should find a suitable candidate, preferably someone with experience, and hire that person as the factory manager. This way, the factory can run smoothly without interfering with Xiao Jiang's studies. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
After saying that, Zhou Changgui quickly shut his mouth as if he had said something wrong, and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
"Look at me, these are all your family matters, I can't interfere."
"Just listen to what I said earlier, but please don't take it to heart. I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to interfere in your family's affairs."
After saying that, Zhou Changgui quickly used serving chopsticks to put a piece of food on Zhao Xuehui's plate and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat, let's eat!"
Zhao Xuehui didn't think too much about it, but thoughtfully looked away and pondered Zhou Changgui's words.
“Actually, what Teacher Zhou said makes a lot of sense. When Jiang Sheng gets home, I’ll have a good talk with him about it…”
"Look, I was just saying that offhand..."
Zhou Changgui quickly spoke up, but Zhao Xuehui smiled and said, "Teacher Zhou, don't worry. You're doing this for our own good. When I talk to you later, I won't mention that it was your idea. You can rest assured. Actually, I had the same thought. I'm also worried that my younger brother's studies will be delayed because of this factory matter."
"That's good!"
Having achieved his goal, Zhou Changgui stopped mentioning it and instead started talking to Zhao Xuehui about poetry.
"I've almost finished polishing it, but I didn't have time to talk to Xiao Jiang about poetry today. I'll find an opportunity to give him some proper guidance later."
As he spoke, Zhou Changgui's smile became even more humble: "I can't say that I can help Xiao Jiang make any great progress, but at least I can help him avoid some detours. As long as I can help in a little, I will be very satisfied."
"Teacher Zhou is too modest."
The two continued eating, chatting and laughing, ignoring the occasional insincere smile on Zhao Xuehui's face; the atmosphere remained relatively harmonious.
...
Inside the coffee shop at this moment.
Jiang Sheng and Xu Jianian had been sitting in the coffee shop for several minutes, but neither of them had talked much about Zhou Changgui.
On the contrary, Xu Jianian kept asking Jiang Sheng for advice on computers. After her curiosity was satisfied, she finally brought up the real purpose of their coffee meeting.
"Teacher Zhou has always been a good teacher in our family. My grades have been improving thanks to Teacher Zhou."
Xu Jianian spoke up, his face showing a hint of admiration for Zhou Changgui: "To be honest, I really consider Teacher Zhou my idol, which is why I thought you were liars after you said Teacher Zhou was a scumbag, especially since you were stalking him!"
