"You already found a private English tutor this fast?"
Clearly, Xie Baosheng also knew his son was going to study English.
Now hearing that he’d moved so quickly to actually do it, he got even happier.
As a parent, who wouldn’t like their kid to learn more? "Nice, I’ll transfer the money to Xiao Shi in a bit."
The son could shout whatever he wanted without a proper title, but he couldn’t.
"Thanks, Dad." Over the three-plus years since coming to the capital, Xie Yizun really had improved in terms of manners compared to when he was at ho.
Xie Baosheng was both happy and a little wistful. "What are you being polite to your dad for? Are you tired from the match? I’ll send you so pocket money later too. If the food at your training camp isn’t good, go eat outside, get sothing tasty and nutritious."
"No need, I have money," Xie Yizun said. "And the training camp doesn’t allow us to eat outside."
Father and son rambled on about family stuff for a while before they both hung up.
Right after Xie Yizun hung up, Shi Wangyue’s phone rang.
He took it out and saw it was a WeChat ssage from Xie Baosheng, mainly thanking him for the help and then asking for his account number to transfer the money.
Shi Wangyue imdiately replied politely on WeChat and turned him down.
While Shi Wangyue was ssaging with Xie Baosheng on WeChat—
Xie Yizun was sitting there with a bitter face talking to Assistant Jin. "That much?"
He stared at the freshly sent photos on Assistant Jin’s phone—stacks of English study materials that Teacher Andy had just forwarded over—and at those several gigabytes of English-learning files, and felt his head swell.
Wanting to learn English well was one thing.
But once he actually started, and realized how many English words he had to morize, how many English lessons he had to listen to, how thick all the English materials he had to go through were...
The hot-blooded determination that the haters had stirred up in Xie Yizun instantly cooled down.
Unfortunately, top-student Assistant Jin could not understand what kind of shock the pile of thick English materials—so visually overwhelming—had dealt to underachiever Young Master Xie.
Because back when he studied English, he’d learned it like this too.
"All the materials Andy found are great. I used so of them before; they’re really effective. With this much, if you follow her, you’ll basically be able to finish in about a year."
"..."
No, I can’t!
I’m an academic failure, okay, an academic failure! I’m a completely different species from monsters like you with sky-high IQs, got it?!
Xie Yizun really wanted to cover Assistant Jin’s mouth.
But no matter how much of a loser he was at studying, Young Master Xie still had his pride.
So he stared silently at Assistant Jin for a long ti before finally blinking those beautiful peach-blossom eyes and asking weakly, "Is there anything a bit easier? I can buy all these textbooks now, but wouldn’t it be better for soone with my level to start from sothing simpler?"
From Young Master Xie’s eyes, Assistant Jin clearly saw a plea for rcy, and imdiately put himself in his shoes. "Sure, I’ll ask Andy to find so easier ones."
"Thank you, Brother Jin, thank you, Sister Andy." Xie Yizun pressed his palms together, letting out a huge sigh of relief inside. "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely study hard."
It wasn’t like he had a choice anymore.
In the past, if his English was bad, at most he’d just embarrass himself at ho.
Now, if his English isn’t good, it could really beco a permanent black mark on his life.
The embarrassnt would be on a national, even global scale.
"What are you two talking about?" Putting his phone back in his pocket, Shi Wangyue walked up just in ti to see this scene in front of him.1314
