Chapter 8 Professional
At the entrance of Xiaoyao Residence.
Xie Yanqing stared blankly at Xia Xue's departing figure, lost in thought.
Qi Yutong stood aside, tasting the food: "Sir, you like Xia Xue that much? It was only the first time you met her, and your eyes were already glued to her. Even after you've walked so far away, you still can't take your eyes off her."
Xie Yanqing coughed lightly, glanced at Qi Yutong in surprise, shook his head and chuckled, "Tongtong, it's fine to say these jokes in front of me, but you can't say them outside, it's easy to ruin someone's reputation."
Xie Yanqing did not ignore Qi Yutong's problem because of her young age. He explained seriously, "The reason I stared at Xia Xue in a daze is because her medical records and her pulse are very different and incongruous. The only explanation is that she has practiced health preservation exercises and reached the proficiency level. However, when I observed carefully just now, I found that Xia Xue's breathing was not long and deep, which is completely inconsistent with the characteristics of proficient health preservation exercises. Moreover, there is no trace of cultivation on her body. These contradictions have puzzled me, which is why I have been stunned for so long."
In the end, Xie Yanqing sighed.
"Alas, my medical skills are still too poor."
Xia Xue's ears twitched. She channeled her inner energy into her ears and heard the entire conversation between Qi Yutong and Xie Yanqing dozens of meters behind her. A playful smile appeared on her face.
The "Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong" emphasizes "naturalness," and the body naturally shows no signs of practice. The max-level "Bagua Zhang" is given directly by the system, so there are no signs of cultivation either. No matter how high Xie Yanqing's medical skills are, he cannot see through her true nature.
Xia Xue suddenly remembered something and searched for Qi Yutong on her phone, but didn't find the information she wanted. So she simply asked, "Father, what does Qi Yutong's family do?"
Xia Jun first addressed Xia Xue as "father," feeling both happy and heartbroken. When would she be able to call him "dad"? He then composed himself and carefully replied, "The Qi family is a top-tier wealthy family in Mocheng. They started in foreign trade. You know, those in foreign trade are more or less involved in shady dealings."
In closing, Xia Jun advised, "It's best to have as little contact with the Qi family."
Yandere, sharp-tongued, with a complex background.
Tsk tsk, no wonder she's a yandere novel heroine.
Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.
Xia Xue quickly assured him, "Don't worry, Father, I will stay far away from Qi Yutong."
When Xia Jue and Xia Yao got home, they had already gone to the company.
Xia Jun gave Xia Xue a few instructions, then went to the company by car without even going home.
Shen Weiyi took Xia Xue's hand and explained on their behalf, "They've always been so busy, it's not because they don't like you, don't overthink it."
Xia Xue really wanted to say that she hadn't thought much about it.
She didn't care at all whether they liked her or not.
Shen Weiyi was worried that Xia Xue might misunderstand Xia Jun and the other two because she didn't know them well enough, so she carefully explained the situation of the three of them.
Well, it's more like "complaining" than "talking".
"Old Xia's company, although it has transformed into a real industry, is still mainly focused on investment and mergers and acquisitions. He does nothing but focus on the mistakes of other companies, thinking about how to swallow them up. Sigh, if you ask me, you can't earn all the money in the world. The company has already reached its current size, and the money is more than enough to last several lifetimes. He could easily settle down and retire at his age. But he refuses to accept his age and still goes to the company with boundless energy every day. Forget about him, let's talk about Xiao Jue."
When Xia Jue was mentioned, Shen Weiyi's face showed a helpless expression.
"Xiao Jue was adopted, so she was very sensible from a young age, so sensible that it broke my heart. Especially after Yao Yao was born, because Lao Xia and I were both very busy at the time, Yao Yao was basically raised by Xiao Jue. When Xiao Jue was eighteen, because of some gossip, she didn't go to university and joined the army on her own. Sigh, this child, she expressed her lack of interest in the Xia family's property in such a drastic way. Why bother? There's so much money, and it's enough to divide among just a few people. This child is just too stubborn."
After talking about Xia Jue, they started talking about Xia Yao.
"Yaoyao has been smart since she was little and rarely caused any trouble. She skipped two grades in elementary school and one grade in junior high. At the age of fifteen, she was admitted to Jiangda University in her senior year of high school, majoring in computer science and minoring in business administration. She earned her bachelor's degrees in both majors in just two years. She didn't want to pursue a master's degree, but the professors at the university didn't want to let her go, so they compromised and she pursued a part-time master's degree. Yaoyao managed the company, developed and improved AI, and studied for her master's degree at the same time. In just one year, she published several high-profile papers and met the graduation requirements. But then the university wanted her to pursue a doctorate. This time, Yaoyao refused to do it no matter what, and she's currently at odds with the university. But..."
At this point, Shen Weiyi smiled and said, "In the end, I estimate that both sides will compromise and he will pursue his doctorate while working."
Xia Xue asked with concern, "Mother, what about you?"
Xia Xue searched for information about Shen Weiyi online, but all she got was information about her as a materials science professor at Jiangnan University, which was very general.
Her important information seems to have been intentionally erased.
Very strange.
Shen Weiyi looked slightly taken aback.
Xia Xue called her mother.
Although she's not my mother.
But isn't this an important step forward?
Her eyes had reddened again without her noticing.
She quickly turned her head, wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with her slender fingers, turned back, took Xia Xue's hand, and said with a smile, "Me? It's much simpler to say. I'm not the particularly smart type of person, but I have a stubborn streak and a bit of luck. I started scientific research at the age of twenty, and in the past thirty years, I've developed more than a dozen materials. Some of these materials are still classified, but the declassified materials alone bring in two hundred million yuan in patent fees every year. So, our family is really not short of money. You don't need to save me money in the future. Spend it however you want, as much as you want."
Xia Xue felt ashamed upon hearing this.
Aren't you afraid of raising a spendthrift child this way?
Shen Weiyi suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, we've been talking about us for so long, why don't you tell us about yours too?"
Xia Xue was slightly taken aback. When it came to her own story, she really didn't know where to begin or what to say.
Shen Weiyi noticed her predicament and smiled, suggesting, "Tell me about your major first."
Xia Xue scratched her head: "Psychology major? I have no interest in it, but my family forced me to choose it."
Hearing Xia Xue mention "home" in such a natural tone, Shen Weiyi's expression darkened. She lowered her head and gently patted Xia Xue's hand, saying, "If you don't like it, just change your major when you get to school. At Jiang University, my words still carry some weight. By the way, what major do you like?"
Xia Xue blurted out the answer she had already thought about: "Journalism major, I want to be a reporter."
Journalism is the most suitable profession for a guest role in the system.
The probability of encountering the female lead is the highest.
