"Xu Lin, my dad’s coming over!"
"He’s bringing you a grammar book!"
Yu Xinyan promptly reminded Xu Lin.
"?"
Oh damn!
Is Comrade Jianhua really coming?
"Dear, why is he coming over?"
"I wanted to bring you the grammar book, but my dad saw it."
Xu Lin wanted to ask, weren’t you supposed to co tomorrow?
But it didn’t matter.
Xu Lin put on a T-shirt, as he was only in shorts, bare-chested earlier.
But since Yu Jianhua was coming, Xu Lin thought it was better to put on clothes.
On the other side.
After Yu Jianhua went out, he made his way to Xu Lin’s place.
It was ten-thirty in the evening, many people were still awake, and quite a few parents and elderly were in the community with children.
All the way, Yu Jianhua was warmly greeted by various neighbors.
In their community, everyone knew that there’s a high-ranking official nad Yu Jianhua, so when they saw him, they greeted him warmly.
"Poor in the busy city with no one to ask, rich in the deep mountains with distant relatives."
Yu Jianhua felt sowhat sentintal.
Actually, Yu Jianhua really liked Xu Lin. When others saw him, they greeted him politely or even respectfully, cautiously greeting him, and so even to the point of lowering themselves and nodding humbly.
During festivals, many people wanted to co by and send things, but naturally, Yu Jianhua couldn’t accept anything, even if it was a can of peanut oil.
He had co this far, and he had to be cautious and prudent.
If he wasn’t careful, who knew what could have been put into a can of tea, or whether that can of tea was of so rare and valuable variety?
Only Xu Lin was different, daring to call him "uncle" casually, or sotis even "Bastard."
With Xu Lin, he was just a regular middle-aged uncle.
All the way, those who saw Yu Jianhua greeted him, and Yu Jianhua had to nod and respond variously as he walked.
You can’t just stay silent coldly when others greet you, right?
Obviously not.
Yu Jianhua felt a bit ntally exhausted.
Soon, Yu Jianhua arrived at the 13th floor of Building 10, which was where Xu Lin lived.
Yu Jianhua got out of the elevator, walked to the end, and then turned left, where the corridor ended, and it was Xu Lin’s place.
Yu Jianhua went up and knocked on the door.
Knock, knock!
"Who is it?"
Xu Lin asked knowingly, and ca to open the door.
"It’s !"
"Uncle, why did you co? You’re a rare guest, with your visit, my humble abode is honored!"
"Where did you learn to say things like that?"
"Learned it online!"
"Naughty kid!"
"Uncle, co in and have a seat!"
Yu Jianhua walked in and handed him the grammar book, "Why do you need a grammar book?"
"To study English, what else would I do?"
"I find it hard to believe—the boy who muddled through three years of middle school and three years of high school."
"Actually, I’ve turned over a new leaf recently. You know I barely got into a prestigious university with low scores, surrounded by top students from various key high schools, and I’m feeling imnse pressure!"
"It’s already late at night, and you had Yanyan co over—what’s your motive?"
Xu Lin thought to himself, genuinely feeling wronged, since he wanted her to co tomorrow, yet she insisted on coming tonight, but Xu Lin didn’t bring it up.
At this mont, Yu Jianhua sat on Xu Lin’s sofa. He was very familiar with Xu Lin, so he sat down and poured a cup of warm water from the disposable cup on the coffee table in front of him, drinking it.
Yu Jianhua, drinking water with a deanor as if he were at ho, pointed to the sofa beside him and said, "Have a seat."
"Uncle, this is my place!"
Yu Jianhua almost choked on his water.
And Xu Lin sat on the sofa next to him.
Xu Lin’s sofa arrangent was in an L-shape, Yu Jianhua sat on a four-ter-long sofa, Xu Lin sat on a single-seat sofa.
"How have you been lately?"
Yu Jianhua asked.
"Which aspect do you want to know about?"
"Let’s start with academics!"
"I feel alright, elite university, the academic environnt and atmosphere are great, creating pressure that naturally makes one want to study well."
"Have you studied well then?"
"Yes, didn’t I ask for the grammar book to improve my English grammar skills?"
"Good, keep it up."
Yu Jianhua nodded, sort of believing him.
"Are you still working on your novel?"
Yu Jianhua continued asking.
"I’m working on it."
"How’s it going?"
"Gradual progress, steady developnt!"
"Tell sothing practical, not this empty talk."
"I should make over 600,000 next month!"
Xu Lin didn’t hide it, he actually respected Yu Jianhua a lot, besides, Yu Jianhua was an important official, and 600,000 wasn’t much to him. If he intended to embezzle, he wouldn’t have enough space at ho to store it.
"Over 600,000?"
Yu Jianhua almost choked again, he was still drinking water!
"Are you kidding? Do you know what 600,000 ans?"
This kid is only eighteen!
Many people might not make 600,000 profit even in a year of doing business!
Xu Lin just writes novels, and next month he can actually get over 600,000?
Yu Jianhua was genuinely shocked.
Xu Lin was quite calm, "No need to lie to you, I have the ability."
Seeing his serious deanor, Yu Jianhua believed him about eighty to ninety percent. Though Xu Lin was sowhat unreliable, Yu Jianhua still quite trusted him, knowing that this kid wouldn’t fool him.
Moreover, Yu Jianhua didn’t pursue the matter further.
After a long silence, Yu Jianhua said, "Youthful achievent is impressive, but it has its pros and cons; at eighteen, you’re still too young, and sudden wealth might not necessarily be a good thing, don’t go astray!"
"Ok."
"Will you keep doing this in the future?"
"This industry isn’t worth deep diving into, for now, let’s see what the future holds."
"Alright."
The two talked for a long ti, finally, Yu Jianhua stood up and patted Xu Lin’s shoulder, "Uncle will head back now, get so rest early!"
"Alright."
Xu Lin saw him out.
Once Yu Jianhua reached ho, Yu Xinyan quickly sent a ssage to Xu Lin.
