Old Xu warned in a serious tone, "Old Zheng, you can make any kind of joke in front of Xiao Gu, but you can't make jokes about Jing Ya."
Zheng Huai nodded solemnly.
Gu Zhiyun's expression finally relaxed, and he handed the peeled walnuts to Old Man Xu and Zheng Huai.
"Professor Xu, Teacher Zheng, these are walnuts that Jingya brought from Northeast China. Please try them."
Meanwhile, Chen Jingyan had already peeled a plate of hazelnuts.
In a warm and harmonious atmosphere, everyone chatted and laughed, drank tea and ate fruit, just like a family.
At noon, Shen Jingyan prepared a sumptuous meal, and Fang Ru called Gu Huaiqian home to have a good time drinking with the two important figures.
During the conversation, Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian were mentioned in connection with the development of the first generation of enemy fighter jets.
Old Xu asked in surprise, "You are both PhDs who studied in the Soviet Union and experts in dynamics. Logically speaking, you should be related to me, who studies aerospace. How come I have never heard of you two before?"

Before Gu Huaiqian could answer, Zheng Huai sighed softly and said, "I know Professor Fang's situation best. It's because of her family background that she has achieved so much, yet she can only be an associate professor at the Imperial University."
Fang Ru smiled and said, "I'm already very content to be an associate professor at the best university in the country."
Because of his high social standing, even a talented person like Gu Huaiqian could only work as a group leader in a research institution.
After pondering for a while, Shen Jingyan served food to Old Man Xu and Zheng Huai, saying:
“National policies are different from before. The fact that Brother Yun was admitted to Beijing University means that family background is no longer so important, and more emphasis will be placed on personal ability in the future, right?”
Old Xu immediately understood the meaning behind Chen Jing's words.
"Old Zheng, look, the fact that Teacher Fang and Teacher Gu can cultivate someone like Xiao Gu proves they are absolutely capable of handling higher-level jobs, doesn't it?" Qianqian Xiaoshang
Zheng Huai nodded seriously and said, "I will go back and discuss this issue with the leadership team."
The meaning behind the words is quite clear: Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian have a lot of room for promotion!
Gu Zhiyun quickly raised his glass and said, "I'd like to toast my two esteemed teachers!"

After enjoying a hearty meal and drinks, Old Xu and Zheng Huai praised Shen Jingyan highly before bidding farewell to the Gu family and leaving the Imperial Capital Compound.
Gu Huaiqian and Gu Zhiyun were a little tipsy. The two of them, with flushed faces, staggered back to their room and fell fast asleep.
After clearing away the dishes, Fang Ru took Shen Jingyan's hand and said gratefully, "Jingya, thank you for speaking up for me and your uncle at the dinner table."
She smiled and said calmly, "Auntie, you're being too polite. You and Uncle are both talented people and shouldn't be overlooked."
Fang Ru was filled with emotion. Her son was truly blessed. Ever since he met Jingya, the Gu family had been blessed with good fortune. Even when they encountered some setbacks, they always managed to turn misfortune into good luck.
Early the next morning, Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan arrived at Imperial University with their luggage to register.
Today is the second day of registration. The campus is full of groups of college students, some in their twenties and some in their thirties. At the registration area, the two of them ran into a couple. The woman looked young, but her belly was already protruding.
The man carefully protected his wife, afraid that someone might bump into her.
Chen Jingyan sighed, "Such a spectacle can only be seen in the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination."
When Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan went through the enrollment procedures together, it caused quite a stir.

One was a top science student, and the other was a top arts student; one was tall and handsome, and the other was youthful and beautiful, attracting the attention of the crowd.
After finally squeezing out of the crowd, Gu Zhiyun gripped Shen Jingyan's hand tightly.
He escorted her to the entrance of the girls' dormitory. Seeing several boys casting admiring glances at Shen Jingyan, Gu Zhiyun instinctively hid Shen Jingyan behind his back as if facing a formidable enemy.
He leaned down and whispered in Shen Jingyan's ear, "Don't you dare chat up other guys!"
Shen Jingyan tugged at his ear and teased, "Don't you have that much confidence in yourself?"
Gu Zhiyun pursed his lips: "I have confidence in myself, but there are a lot of wolves here, and there's only one little rabbit. I'm afraid the wolves will smell the rabbit and come closer to it!"
Shen Jingyan found his childish yet earnest demeanor rather adorable.
It was only when he was with her that Gu Zhiyun would show a rare side of himself that was not very steady or mature.
Shen Jingyan moved closer to him and hooked her little finger around Gu Zhiyun's collar, saying, "Have you forgotten? I've already been marked by you."
As she spoke, she pointed to her collarbone.
The collarbone hidden under the clothes often bears the teeth marks of a large dog.
Gu Zhiyun's throat tightened, and his blood began to boil.
He pulled Shen Jingyan aside, kissed her lips, and whispered in her ear:
"Little thing, you wait, I'm going to mark it again in a few days!"
Shen Jingyan blushed upon hearing this, tilted her head back, and tapped the tip of his nose.
"Then you can't talk to female classmates either!"
Actually, what she said was unnecessary.
Given Gu Zhiyun's aloof nature, he could remain completely silent even if his female classmates wrote him a whole truckload of love letters.
