"Young man, what do you do for a living?" Li Qiang asked.
Yang Chen answered truthfully, "I usually drive a ride-share car."
Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaoyi burst into laughter instantly.
Zhang Xiaoyi: "Xiaolan, you said he was your most proud student, I thought he was so remarkable person, but turns out he’s just a ride-share driver? Isn’t that too unfortunate? You taught for so many years in kindergarten, and the best student you produced is a ride-share driver?"
Li Qiang: "Many people never contact their elentary, middle, or even high school teachers throughout their lives, let alone kindergarten. Even if she taught so successful students, they definitely wouldn’t reach out to her."
Zhang Xiaoyi: "That’s true. It’s better to teach at a university; those students often keep in touch, don’t they?"
Li Qiang: "Yes, they do. I won’t ntion foreign students, but take the Dragon Country students studying abroad, for instance. I have a student nad Chen Liang, who joined Shengjin Investnt Bank after graduation and is now a vice president. We’re having dinner together tonight."
Chen Liang?
Yang Chen quickly asked, "Is he the vice president of Shengjin Investnt Bank’s Hai City Branch, Chen Liang, who graduated from Hai City Finance University?"
Li Qiang: "Yes! Do you know him? Haha... He’s just one of my many outstanding students."
Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said, "I know him. He was my subordinate in university. I was the Minister of the External Relations Departnt, and he was the Deputy Minister. It’s a small world; we always seem to have so connections."
Li Qiang chuckled coldly, saying, "We don’t really have any connections. I just don’t get it — if you graduated from Hai City Finance University, why are you working as a ride-share driver? Did you just play around and learn nothing while in school, so you couldn’t get a professional job after graduation?"
Yang Chen: "Driving ride-share cars offers more freedom. Is Professor Li going to teach at the Finance University?"
Li Qiang: "Yes! I didn’t initially plan to return to the country, but Hai City Finance University offered too much. A salary of a million annually, a house, and an Audi car. Although dostic conditions are worse than abroad in many aspects, considering Principal Ge’s sincerity, I reluctantly agreed."
The professor who Principal Ge recruited heavily should have so rit, but his character is a bit lacking, as he is here mocking Chen Chunlan with Zhang Xiaoyi.
However, it’s not surprising, as experts and professors online are often seen spewing nonsense and exploiting female students.
A professor in public, a beast in private—it’s not an uncommon occurrence.
At this mont, Li Qiang’s phone rang.
He took a look at his phone and imdiately said with a smile, "Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears. Chen Liang is calling . Excuse while I take this call."
Yang Chen nodded.
Chen Chunlan remained expressionless. She knew Li Qiang would likely put the call on speaker to boast about this vice president student.
Sure enough, Li Qiang put the phone on speaker, saying with a smile, "Hello, Xiao Liang, what’s up?"
Chen Liang: "Teacher Li, we’ve changed the dinner venue; we’re going to Tang Pavilion. I heard a friend of mine bought Tang Pavilion, so I’m helping out with the business."
Li Qiang pretended casually glancing at Yang Chen, then deliberately asked loudly, "Tang Pavilion? Is it the Three-Michelin-Starred Tang Pavilion Restaurant?"
Chen Liang: "Yes, it’s that Tang Pavilion. My friend is particularly remarkable; I didn’t expect him to buy Tang Pavilion. You’ve visited the Finance University campus, right?"
Li Qiang: "Yes, I have."
Chen Liang: "Have you seen the newly constructed teaching building and the university student activity center?"
Li Qiang: "Yes, I’ve seen them."
Chen Liang: "Aren’t the two buildings called Yang Chen Building No. 1 and Yang Chen Building No. 2?"
Chen Chunlan was stunned. Has Yang Chen already achieved sothing as significant as donating buildings to Hai City Finance University?
He truly is her ideal son-in-law, and she is rightfully proud of him.
Li Qiang: "Yes, why?"
Chen Liang: "That’s my friend’s donation, and the school was so grateful they nad the two buildings after him."
Li Qiang glanced at Yang Chen again deliberately, and said with a smile, "So impressive! It seems your friends are all very accomplished figures."
Chen Liang: "Haha... Not too bad."
Li Qiang: "So, do you know a ride-share driver?"
Yang Chen: "Ride-share driver? How is that possible?"
Li Qiang looked at Yang Chen again, showing a ’just as I thought’ smile, and continued saying, "Haha... He claims he was your minister in university and you were his deputy minister?"
Chen Liang: "Ah? Teacher Li, have you t Brother Chen?"
Li Qiang: "Brother Chen? Which Brother Chen?"
Chen Liang: "So how did you know who I was talking about was Brother Chen?"
Li Qiang: "Ah? What are you talking about? I don’t understand."
Chen Liang: "Ah? I’m not understanding you either. The friend I was talking about is Brother Chen. You’re asking if I know a ride-share driver who was his minister during university, and that’s Brother Chen."
Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh. These two could chat like this and still manage to confuse each other—what a pair of talents.
Li Qiang quickly asked, "Young man, what’s your na?"
Yang Chen: "My na is Yang Chen."
Li Qiang: "He says his na is Yang Chen."
Chen Liang: "Haha... I heard that. Brother Chen, how co you’re with Teacher Li? The friend I was telling you about is Brother Chen. You two have already t! Brother Chen, when did you buy Tang Pavilion? Why didn’t you say sothing so I could help out with the business?"
