So, when Professor Hans cos tomorrow, the school leadership has decided to give him the highest level of reception.
Of course, the focus is on you. The school hopes that you take this banquet seriously and showcase your best skills. The rest doesn’t matter for now; just win Professor Hans’s ’stomach’ over with your gourt cooking!"
"Ah, so that’s what it’s about."
Jiang Yu was quite happy upon hearing this. It’s certainly a good thing that the school could attract international research experts.
As a student of the school, he naturally wouldn’t refuse to contribute to this event.
However, he was still a bit puzzled and couldn’t help but ask,
"Teacher Xiong, you ntioned earlier that this matter has sothing to do with ?"
"Yes, I heard from others that the real reason Professor Hans wants to stay at our school is because of you!"
Teacher Xiong spoke with great excitent, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Jiang Yu, and continued,
"The last ti he brought a team to our school for exchange visits, didn’t he have two als at restaurant number seven?
Apparently, after tasting your dishes for the first ti, Professor Hans was dazzled, and then beca so enamored that he couldn’t let go. The reason he gave up everything at Sun Never Sets was to stay here, where he could savor your cooking every day."
"Ah, this... Such rumors don’t sound very credible, do they?"
Jiang Yu was shocked after hearing Teacher Xiong’s words but didn’t believe it in his heart. He shook his head and said,
"Among the guests who’ve dined at restaurant number seven, there must be at least eight hundred if not a thousand by now. I’ve never heard of anyone unable to leave because of one al."
"Haha, do you think no one has thought that way? It’s just that there are more important things to attend to."
Teacher Xiong picked up his teacup, blew on the tea leaves floating on the surface, took a small sip, then glanced at Jiang Yu, and with a faint smile said,
"Moreover, the life philosophies of Huaxia people and Westerners are quite different.
From so perspective, they are more focused on their quality of life, and work is rely a ans to maintain that quality. Their attitude towards work is moderate.
That’s why Professor Hans would give up a lifeti professorship at a world-renowned university just for a al and choose to co to our school because he thinks that enjoying your gourt dishes would enhance his quality of life, which is more important than his job.
However, how many of us Huaxia people think that way?"
After pausing for a mont, he continued,
"For us Huaxia people, the term ’start a family and build a career’ clearly illustrates our life philosophy. ’Building a career’ is just as important as ’starting a family,’ which ans that ’work’ holds a significant weight in our lives.
Although young people nowadays are increasingly focused on their quality of life, they lack the ’capital’ like Professor Hans to find a suitable job that ensures their quality of life at any ti."
"Hmm, when you put it that way, it does seem possible."
Jiang Yu thought for a mont, nodded, and said with a smile,
"Westerners are indeed more adept at expressing their preferences and acting on them swiftly.
We Huaxia people rarely can put everything aside to go on a spontaneous trip, picking up a backpack and leaving whenever we want."
"Hahaha, that’s exactly it."
Teacher Xiong couldn’t help but laugh heartily, and with a mysterious look said,
"And who said Professor Hans is the only one reluctant to leave our school because of a al?
To my knowledge, there seems to be another person planning to do the sa, and both of us know this person!"
Jiang Yu was instantly curious upon hearing this and quickly asked, "Who is it? I really know them?"
"Of course it’s true, why would I lie to you?"
Teacher Xiong chuckled and said,
"You just t this person a few days ago; it’s only been days since he left our school.
He is your senior, now a mber of the Huaxia athletics team, and the forr n’s high jump Asian Gas champion, Lin Yahu."
"Ah, this..."
Jiang Yu was taken aback again, eyes wide open, looking incredulous, and said,
"Is he planning to retire? Doesn’t he seem to be that much older than ?"
"He isn’t much older than you. In theory, this age is when he should be achieving great results, and retiring now is indeed a bit regrettable."
Teacher Xiong said while sipping tea,
"However, last year he had a right Achilles tendon injury, and the situation seems sowhat complicated and hard to recover from, resulting in his consistently poor performance on the field for over a year, and he’s probably struggled with this for a long ti.
This ti, while assisting in training fellow students at his alma mater, he happened to taste your cooking, which likely prompted him to decide to retire.
Actually, even without the injury, he could at most participate in one Olympics, naly next year’s Olympics, but now with the injury, even getting a ticket to next year’s Olympics is questionable."
Jiang Yu asked again, "Does he have any plans after retiring? Does he want to return to our school?"
"Yes, I heard that Lin Yahu has already discussed with the school about returning as a physical education teacher after retirent, though it hasn’t been publicized yet."
