Chapter 213: Arrogant and Conceited - Back to 18, I Became Rich by Spending Money
Wen Yan put down his chopsticks immediately.
"I don't want to eat anymore!"
Seeing her like this, Lin Shu ignored her and slowly finished the ribs on the plate.
Then teased her
"No way, you're not going to eat a whole piece of pork chop. How can you be so childish? You should respect the elderly and love the young. Give your teacher a piece of pork chop. Look at your pouting mouth. If you really like this pork chop, the teacher can just order another one for you."
In fact, Lin Shu was also very tired. As he was getting older, he usually ate small meals frequently and consumed less salt and oil. But today he made an exception. Tsk.
If Bai Ling were here, she would definitely laugh at him without mercy. He is so old, but he is still quarreling with a little girl.
Wen Yan actually couldn't eat anymore. He was full of energy just now and felt that he could keep eating, but as soon as he lost his energy, he found that he couldn't eat another bite.
He lowered his head and said sullenly, "I'm not eating anymore. I'm full."
Lin Shu then put down his chopsticks with satisfaction and took a sip of tea to get rid of the taste in his mouth.
Tian Zheng didn't even dare to raise his head, and continued to eat voraciously. It wasn't often that he could enjoy a good meal on a business trip with Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin usually just ate a few bites at work, and then immediately immersed himself in his work.
After a while, Lin Shu calmed down and spoke slowly, expressing his concern for his little disciple.
"Tell me, what happened? Did that kid from the Meng family bully you? Did you suffer a breakup? Are you crying like this? Or did you just find out you have a serious illness today and start overeating?"
"teacher!"
Wen Yan froze and couldn't help glaring at Lin Shu. How could she have thought her teacher was such a handsome and elegant gentleman before?
Seeing that she raised her head and seemed to be angry with me again, I started to ask her seriously.
"Tell me, why are you crying and why did you throw your phone?"
Wen Yan was unhappy again, and shrank back, pausing before answering.
"Teacher, am I stupid?"
Lin Shu was stunned. He thought the girl would start by complaining to him about how difficult the schoolwork was or how many tasks were to complete. Unexpectedly, she started by asking if he was stupid.
What a joke! If she were stupid, ordinary people wouldn't be able to survive.
"ah"
"Teacher, why are you hitting me on the head?"
Wen Yan felt a heavy blow to her head. She raised her head and glared at the person who hit her and then sat down leisurely.
Lin Shu felt that this girl was like a Garfield cat with its fur standing on end, staring at him with her round eyes.
It feels really good. It turns out being a teacher is such a joyful thing.
"If you were stupid, wouldn't the others be alive? Tell me about the problem you're facing. I'm not asking you to tell me how stupid you are. If you were stupid, wouldn't that mean I was bad at accepting students?"
Wen Yan bit her lip before beginning to talk about her feelings over the past two days.
“·······, every day after I go home, I will listen to the recording of the day carefully, and go to bed only when I understand it. I am also sure that I can keep up with it next time I listen to it. However, every time the next day comes, I will be hit by the new content. However, I have studied and read every material you gave me carefully.
But I found that after trying hard, it was useless. I still couldn’t do what I couldn’t do. No matter how hard I worked the night before, it wouldn’t change much. I wondered if I was really suitable for this career and why I was so stupid.
Lin Shu's expression was almost unbearable. Listen to what this girl said!
Tian Zheng opened his eyes wide at this moment, looking at her in disbelief. Is this stupid? Then he has been with Mr. Lin for so many years, but he still doesn't understand. Is he still alive?
"You mean? You can digest all the content of the day and keep up with the understanding every day when you go home?" Lin Shu spoke after a long while.
Wen Yan looked at him doubtfully, "Yes."
Then he lowered his head in frustration and said, "Teacher, am I really that stupid?"
Lin Shu patted his head, then couldn't help but hit her head hard again.
Wen Yan hugged her head and wailed, wondering why he hit her again.
"Do you think you're me? It took me more than 20 years to achieve what I have today and how I can handle situations with ease. During this time, I worked tirelessly to enrich myself every single day. After completing my undergraduate studies, I went directly abroad for my master's and doctoral degrees. After completing my studies, I stayed abroad to work and gain experience for nearly five years before I felt I could return to China.
I am now preparing for a simultaneous interpretation job. It seems that it takes very little time and energy, but this is all accumulated slowly over the years of work. Even so, when I encounter an emerging field, I will still put in a lot of effort to master it.
Why do you think that just a few days can make up for the time difference of more than 20 years?"
Wen Yan was stunned. Before she could figure it out, Lin Shu continued speaking.
"My main purpose in calling you here is indeed to make you realize your own shortcomings. What you said just now is true in one respect, that is, you think too highly of yourself. Relying on your own talent, you think that everything can be easily mastered. You are too proud.
If I don't hit you hard, you'll stumble badly if you're late next time. Do you really think you've achieved enough to immediately step into the simultaneous interpretation booth? What I want to tell you is that no matter what industry you're in, or in life, you must be humble, cautious, and polite.
Seeing the girl opposite him whose originally rosy face immediately turned pale, Lin Shu continued to scold her mercilessly.
He realized this problem of hers from the first day he took her in, but he never had the chance to advise her. This child was too much like him when he was young, just as reckless, arrogant, and fearless. But it was precisely because he had fallen that he realized that pride was acceptable, but it was the worst thing to do in rigorous class work.
After a long while, Wen Yan finally found his voice. His face was pale and his voice was trembling, as if he was asking himself, "Am I too proud?"
Lin Shu didn't care about her feelings and nodded, "Yes, it's you."
"A rich girl who has been pampered since childhood and has never suffered any injustice will start to doubt herself once she encounters a setback. People like her have a problem, which is the princess syndrome. But you have to know that in this world, there are always people who are better than you.
You can be proud, you can be proud of your backbone, you can be proud of your dignity, but you can't be proud of your mindset. How many dandies have been ruined by their self-righteous pride? Money can buy most things in the world, but what rich people want is often what money can't buy.
Wen Yan understood what the teacher said, but she also began to realize that she was now infected with a severe princess syndrome. She was sick. What the teacher said at the beginning was right. She was infected with a serious illness and didn't even know it.
Everything has been going smoothly since my rebirth. I am spoiled by my family, classmates and teachers at school, and my boyfriend. So I feel uneasy. I don’t realize it, but I naturally do things with a sense of superiority.
