“That’s absolutely impossible!” Upon hearing this, Shan Xing subconsciously denied it.

Seeing that Shan Chen had taken out his phone again and was about to look for evidence for her to see, Shan Xing immediately panicked. “Anyway, I don’t believe that stupid Shan Yue will become smart. It’s boring. I’m going back to my room!”

As she spoke, Shan Xing hurriedly walked towards her room in a daze. Her footsteps were rather flustered, as if she was afraid that Shan Chen would say something earth-shattering.

Sun Ling was satisfied with the money. When she heard what Shan Chen said, she thought that Shan Yue was deliberately causing trouble by lying. She sneered and left.

Only Shan An was so excited that he was about to cry when he heard that Shan Yue was actually so outstanding that she could be guaranteed admission to the Capital University. Only then did he realize that he was usually too busy earning money and did not dare to resist Sun Ling at home. He had accidentally missed so much of Shan Yue’s growth and felt extremely guilty.

Shan An pulled Shan Chen to the dining table and sat down. He touched his knees helplessly and said in a trembling voice, “Chenchen, tell Dad about your sister…”

On the other side, at the Zhou family.

As Zhou Xuan was busy acquiring another company, he only returned home after a meeting at night.

Ever since he took over the Zhou Corporation a few years ago, he had adapted to such a busy life. He was only free occasionally. To him, even helping Zhou Yang clean up his mess was a rare relaxation time after leaving the scheming business world.

Just as he rubbed his swollen eyebrows and got out of the car, the butler quickly came up to him and said, “President Zhou, Elder Zhang is still waiting for you in the reception room. Do you want to receive him or…?”

“Huh?” Zhou Xuan was a little surprised. He handed his suit jacket to the butler and asked curiously, “Why didn’t you tell me he was here? I could have come back earlier.”

Seeing the fatigue in Zhou Xuan’s eyes, the butler lowered his head and said, “This is Elder Zhang’s idea. He actually brought a young man over in the afternoon. When he heard that you weren’t around, he waited in the living room and even instructed us not to disturb you.”

They waited until the moon came out before Zhou Xuan returned to the Zhou family.

When Zhou Xuan heard this, he knew that Elder Zhang must have something important to ask of him, which was why he had waited so long. He immediately strode towards the living room and said, “I’ll go over now and prepare a pot of Longjing.”

Longjing was the tea that Elder Zhang liked to drink, and Elder Zhang’s name was Zhang Huang. He was the principal of the Capital University and his benefactor during his university days. Although their interactions had decreased a lot in the past few years, their teacher-student friendship had not decreased.

As soon as he entered the living room, Zhou Xuan saw the white-haired Zhang Huang on the sofa. Zhang Huang was already over 70 years old, but his eyes were bright. After all, he had spent most of his life doing scientific research, and he had the aura of an intellectual.

Facing the old teacher, Zhou Xuan greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Zhang, I didn’t know you were coming in advance. I was delayed by a meeting at the company until now. I’m really sorry.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m willing to wait for you.” Zhang Huang quickly waved his hand and introduced the bespectacled boy to Zhou Xuan. “This is your junior, Lin Xiao. He’s studying in the Math Department and is also very outstanding.”

“Hello, Senior Zhou! My name is Lin Xiao. I’ve heard many of your deeds in school and admire you very much.”

This was the first time Lin Xiao had seen the all-powerful head of the Zhou Corporation, Zhou Xuan. He bowed to Zhou Xuan very cautiously.

Zhou Xuan also said politely, “I’m Zhou Xuan, I graduated four years ago.”

Seeing that the two of them knew each other, Zhang Huang went straight to the point. “Zhou Xuan, I’m here this time to ask you for a favor. This has to start from the question that a few professors in the school asked Lin Xiao to post online more than a month ago…”

The problem that a few old professors wanted to use to issue a challenge had actually been solved by an anonymous netizen recently. Moreover, the answer was very perfect. Its level was almost comparable to a few professors.

However, when Lin Xiao contacted the other party and invited him to the capital university, he was immediately rejected. Ever since then, no matter how many messages Lin Xiao sent or how generous the rewards were, the other party was like a stone sinking into the sea and never replied.
