Zhao Guangsheng has been a leader for so many years, and he has always been the one pointing fingers at others from his high position. He has never been silenced by a mere junior!
But Gu Zhiyun's words were so eloquent and perfectly logical that he couldn't refute them!
Zhao Guangsheng didn't believe that Gu Zhiyun would be so stupid as to not understand his obvious hint.
This kid understood everything perfectly, but he didn't take his words seriously at all, and even tried to find loopholes in his words to refute him.

After refuting him, they flattered him so much that he couldn't even find a reason to be angry!
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming awkward, Zhu Xiaoqin quickly came over to defuse the situation.
"Zhiyun, you haven't been home in so long. It's not easy for you to come back. Come on, let me open a bottle of good wine for you. Have a couple of drinks with your uncle!"
Gu Zhiyun politely stood up and bowed to Zhu Xiaoqin again, saying, "Thank you, Dean Zhu. But please don't trouble yourself. I've already taken up a lot of Principal Zhao's time, so I should be going now."
Before Zhu Xiaoqin could try to persuade him to stay again, Gu Zhiyun bowed to Zhao Guangsheng and walked out.
Zhao Yanyan panicked and lifted her skirt to chase after him.
But Gu Zhiyun walked with long strides, and by the time she caught up to the gate of the courtyard, Gu Zhiyun had already entered his own yard.
"Brother Gu, you should really think carefully about what my father said! It's for your future!"
She was hoping that Gu Zhiyun would turn around and look at her, but she only saw Gu Zhiyun's handsome and upright back flash by as he entered her house.
At the Zhao family residence, Zhao Guang slammed his fist on the table, his face contorted with rage, and exclaimed, "This brat truly doesn't know what's good for him!"

Seeing her daughter walk in dejectedly with her head down, Zhu Xiaoqin quickly gave Zhao Guangsheng a meaningful look: "Oh dear, how old is he? He's always been a good student, and he hasn't officially entered society yet, so it's inevitable that he's a little arrogant. Why are you arguing with a junior?"
Zhao Yanyan comforted herself, "Yes, Brother Gu is bewitched by that little vixen. He'll see the light one day!"
When Gu Huaiqian saw that Gu Zhiyun had returned in less than ten minutes, he hurriedly asked, "What did Principal Zhao say? You didn't talk back to him, did you?"
Gu Zhiyun pursed her lips slightly and said, "Dad, do you think I'm such a tactless person?"
Gu Huaiqian smiled and said, "I'm afraid you're like your mother, too straightforward, and you'll offend people with your words."
Gu Zhiyun thought to himself that he didn't care if he offended Zhao Guangsheng. Although Zhao Guangsheng was the president of the Imperial University and there was a long line of people who wanted to curry favor with him, he had no interest in doing so.
In his view, such people lack genuine education and academic spirit, are unworthy of their positions, and will eventually be exposed for what they truly are.
The next morning, after a simple breakfast, Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan bid farewell to Gu Huaiqian and his wife.
Before leaving, Shen Jingyan took out two scarves.
"Uncle, Auntie, I made these two scarves myself. My skills are so-so, but they're really warm. Winter is coming soon, so wear them when you go out; they'll keep you warm from the wind!"

Fang Ru happily took the scarf, gently stroking the fine and delicate stitches, and murmured, "Jingya, you are so thoughtful."
Gu Zhiyun tugged at Shen Jingyan's sleeve with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Didn't you knit one for me?"
Looking at his jealous expression, Shen Jingyan thought he was quite cute when he acted childish.
"Winter in Northeast China is colder than in Beijing. I'll knit you an even thicker one when I get back."
Gu Zhiyun's expression finally relaxed.
The two insisted that Gu Huaiqian and his wife not see them off at the train station.
So the couple only dropped him off at the bus stop and then went back.
Back in the house, Fang Ru couldn't wait to pick up the scarf and try it on.
She shook out her scarf, and a stack of banknotes clattered to the ground.
"This...this is..."

Gu Huaiqian and Fang Ru were stunned and quickly picked up the money.
Fang Ru counted them and found there were three hundred yuan!
You know, her and Gu Huaiqian's combined salary was only a little over fifty yuan. This three hundred yuan was equivalent to half a year's salary for her!
"Jingya must have accidentally left it behind. Hurry up and give it to me, let's see if we can still catch up with them!"
Gu Huaiqian hurriedly put on his coat and rushed out to catch up with the two.
Fang Ru waved her hand and said, "Jingya is such a meticulous person, how could she possibly leave so much money in her scarf!"
Gu Huaiqian slowly came to his senses and said incredulously, "You mean, Jingya specially left this for us?"
"It must be. Jingya is such a thoughtful child. She was worried that if I was suspended from my job and had no salary, my family would have financial difficulties. She was also worried that if we offered her money in person, she would refuse. So she left the money behind under the pretense of giving her a scarf."
With tears welling up in her eyes, Fang Ru said, "It's so hard on this child. I'm afraid Zhiyun doesn't even know that Jingya gave us money."
Looking at the thick stack of banknotes, Gu Huaiqian felt both gratified and guilty.

"Keep this money. When Jingya marries into our family, we'll pay her back. We absolutely cannot spend it."
Fang Ru nodded emphatically and said, "Yes, we can't spend money no matter how difficult it is!"
...
Chen Feng, along with Shen Yuqin, returned to her parents' home in a disheveled state. Tearfully, she recounted to Old Mrs. Chen and Old Mr. Chen how Shen Hong had just driven her away.
Through her embellishment, things became like this: She was wholeheartedly concerned for Shen Yulan's future, wanting to take advantage of the auspicious occasion of the baby's full-moon celebration to arrange a blind date. She deliberately ignored the fact that Zhao Dashan was mentally challenged, only saying that the Zhao family was wealthy and didn't mind that Shen Yulan was a widow, making it a rare and excellent match.
