Zhao Yanyan didn't catch the blatant sarcasm in Fang Ru's words; instead, she proudly raised her chin.
“My dad heard that Gu Gege was going to take the college entrance exam and wanted to give him some advice. A few words from my dad were more useful than Gu Gege doing ten practice papers!”

Fang Ru lowered her head and, while chopping vegetables, gave the cutting board a disdainful smile.
Gu Zhiyun still didn't look up, and said indifferently, "Thank you for your kindness, Principal Zhao, but I'd still rather do the test."
Zhao Yanyan: "..."
She was so angry she couldn't speak, she could only glare at him helplessly.
Gu Huaiqian frowned.
"Zhiyun, come here for a moment."
Gu Zhiyun put down the edamame in his hand and walked into the living room.
Gu Huaiqian took a bottle of precious liquor from the cupboard, placed it in Gu Zhiyun's hand, and whispered:
"Zhiyun, because of your mother's suspension, the relationship between our two families has become somewhat strained. I know you don't want to go, but Principal Zhao has come to invite you. As a junior, you shouldn't put on airs in front of your elders. Take some wine and go to Principal Zhao's house. You don't have to eat, but you must show courtesy."
Gu Zhiyun pursed her lips reluctantly.
His furrowed brows were exactly like Gu Huaiqian's; they were truly father and son.
Gu Zhiyun disliked Zhao Guangsheng's bossy, bossy manner from a young age.
Asking him to listen to Zhao Guangsheng's "advice" made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Not to mention he also had to face the "affectionate" Zhao Yanyan.
"You child, don't be so stubborn. Just listen to what Principal Zhao says with a humble attitude."
Having lived in the same courtyard for so many years, Gu Huaiqian always adhered to the principle of peaceful coexistence and did not want to have any unpleasantness with the Zhao family.
Despite his reluctance, Gu Zhiyun respected his father's wishes, took the wine, and went to the Zhao family alone.
Zhao Yanyan gave Shen Jingyan a smug "humph," her eyes full of provocation.
Shen Jingyan ignored her, and Fang Ru added another bowl of rice to the pot.
"Jingya, you and Zhiyun must eat more at lunch today!"

The implication is that although Gu Zhiyun went to the Zhao family, he would not stay for a meal.
Zhao Yanyan snorted again and walked away with a dark face.
Gu Zhiyun entered the Zhao family home, and Zhu Xiaoqin warmly pulled him into the living room.
"Oh my, Zhiyun, it's been three years! You've grown so much! You must have suffered a lot in the countryside, right?"
"Labor is the most glorious thing, and working people should persevere in hard work."
Gu Zhiyun bowed politely to Zhu Xiaoqin.
Upon entering the living room, he bowed to Zhao Guangsheng again and offered him the wine: "Principal Zhao, thank you for remembering me."
Zhao Guangsheng, maintaining his principal's airs, grunted in response and looked Gu Zhiyun up and down.
It has to be said that his daughter has excellent taste in men. Putting everything else aside, Gu Zhiyun is the most handsome and upright young man he has ever seen.
The simple white shirt and cargo pants, which can be seen everywhere on the street, looked more vibrant and refreshingly sunny on Gu Zhiyun. He had never seen anyone wear the most common clothes so neatly and stylishly.

However, he didn't quite like Gu Zhiyun's personality. He was aloof, with deep, cold eyes and a serious expression, always seeming to keep people at arm's length.
This is exactly like Fang Ru at work. She is extremely principled and meticulous in everything she does. When she gets serious, she won't listen to either soft or hard arguments.
"Brother Gu, don't just stand there, sit down! Have some coffee! My cousin mailed it back from overseas, it has a really rich flavor!"
Zhao Yanyan diligently poured water and arranged fruit and snacks, her smile impossible to hide.
Zhao Guangsheng frowned as he looked at his daughter, who seemed worthless.
Gu Zhiyun said coldly, "You don't need to bother. Principal Zhao's time is precious. I'll go back now."
Zhao Guangsheng's face darkened, and he pointed to a corner of the sofa, saying, "Since you're already home, please sit down. Your aunt has prepared the meal. Eat before you leave."
Gu Zhiyun didn't say anything, and sat down with his eyes lowered.
His attitude was very respectful, and Zhao Guangsheng could not accuse him of being impolite.
After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Guangsheng asked, "How's your homework review going?"
Gu Zhiyun replied succinctly, "It's alright."
Which university are you planning to apply to?
"Aerospace Engineering major at Imperial Capital University".
"The admission score for this major is the highest among all universities in the country, and fewer than thirty students are admitted each year."
"I know, I will try my best."
Zhao Guangsheng was hoping he would say more, but he was very sparing with his words, answering only what was asked. Zhao Guangsheng found it difficult to find a starting point for the conversation.
Zhao Yanyan busied herself around Gu Zhiyun like a little bee, cutting apples for him and peeling walnuts for him.
However, Gu Zhiyun never even gave Zhao Yanyan a second glance.
Zhao Guangsheng was furious. His daughter had always been the center of attention, never the one to grovel and serve others.
The little brat doesn't even appreciate it?

If it were a different man, he would probably kneel and kowtow to him three times and nine times!
“Zhiyun, going to university is important, but when you work in the future, it’s not just about academic qualifications. It’s also about work ability and interpersonal relationships. Sometimes, interpersonal relationships are even more important than academic qualifications and abilities.”
