Chapter 228: Chapter 229: The Pig Fears Fame
“Hmm!” Li Shan nodded, then said, “Friends are not eternal, benefits are what truly last forever and are what we most hope to see.”
“Exactly!” Liu Si nodded and said, “Benefits are eternal.”
A smile formed at the corner of Li Shan's mouth.
Unknowingly, Xiao Han's image had already been established.
……
However, for Xiao Han, ever since Brother Bao had sought him out that time, he seemed to have a significant change in perception of his father. He had never imagined that his father had once been such a great man. He was astounded and shocked to discover that his father had been involved in such high-end, prestigious research.
The documents Xiao Han had burned were all saved in electronic format on his phone, and he had also copied them onto a USB drive. He hid the USB drive in a mysterious corner of his house, a spot even his own mother didn't know about.
Xiao Han packed some bags, as he would be going to school to register in a couple of days. College life was about to begin. The future was waiting for him. Regrettably, Xiao Han's heart was still occupied by someone, that was Chen Zihan.
Chen Zihan had gone far away to the United States. She had been admitted to Harvard University, her family's, or rather, her parents' favorite. Xiao Han knew that Chen Zihan had not gone willingly; she had been forced. However, he had promised Chen Zihan that he would wait for her to return, so he decided to wait.
Xiao Han was a man who kept his promises. Since he had promised, he would certainly do it. If, years later, Chen Zihan was not married, he would marry her.
In Linjiang City, most matters had already been taken care of. The house in Evergrande City was handed over to a professional decoration company; they would contact Xiao Han privately and provide diagrams for discussion. Xiao Han had his own selfish reasons; he wanted the house to be decorated quickly so that his mother could move in sooner and thus have less to worry about. Although his mother always declined to move in, who really doesn't like living in a new house?
Business at both branches of Hanmen Restaurant was very stable, especially at the second branch, which was exceedingly popular. Each month, Xiao Han took in hundreds of thousands. Although half of this revenue went into Fourth Master's Company's accounts, it was their rightful share. If it hadn't been for Fourth Master's twenty million investment, perhaps the second branch of Hanmen Catering wouldn't have been opened so promptly.
Therefore, Xiao Han had no intention of excluding Liu Si; on the contrary, he was grateful to him. If it hadn't been for Liu Si, his own business wouldn't have developed so rapidly.
Before heading to the provincial city, he had to find a way to settle some matters. Hanmen Restaurant was on the right track, and Hanmen Training Class was about to begin its recruitment for the new school year. Hanmen Training Class had already made a name for itself and, adhering to a principle of continuous improvement, Xiao Han chose not to expand enrollment but continued to admit only one class.
Since his identity had been revealed, various people had been looking for ways to approach him, hoping they could secure a place for their children. They hoped to jump the queue. Not only that, many neighbors from Changlin Community had also become their targets for connections.
“Sister-in-law.” Xiao Han was dozing off when suddenly, a voice came from outside.
“Who is it?” Mother Xiao asked hurriedly.
“It's me!” The voice outside laughed: “It's me…”
“Aunt?” Mother Xiao was startled and hurried out.
Indeed, Xiao Han's aunt was standing outside, leading several people, a middle-aged couple, and a girl. The girl looked demure and polite, wearing glasses and appearing about sixteen or seventeen years old. Mother Xiao quickly asked, “What's this… What's going on?”
“Oh, this is my niece,” the aunt laughed and said, “The child is going into her senior year of high school. Her grades are mediocre, and she wants to enroll in Hanmen Training Class.”
Mother Xiao was stunned, turned to look at Xiao Han, and gave a bitter smile.
Xiao Han was lying on the sofa in the living room in his vest and shorts, playing with his phone. The family immediately understood what was meant. At that moment, the middle-aged man quickly spoke, “Hey, isn't that Teacher Xiao? Xiao Ling, go and greet Teacher Xiao.”
“Tea… Teacher Xiao!” The girl timidly walked over, her fingers pinching the corner of her clothes, looking very shy.
Xiao Han glanced at the other party and said, “Registering with me is useless. Hanmen Training Class officially starts registration the day after tomorrow. You can go to the office to register. I cannot register you here!”
“Teacher Xiao,” the middle-aged man laughed and then said, “people have already started lining up at the entrance to Hanmen Training Class. I… I'm afraid we won't be able to queue up the day after tomorrow. Both of us have jobs and don't have time to stand in line. We really want to enroll in Hanmen Training Class. Look… we are willing to pay a bit more for one semester, can we?”
Xiao Han glanced at the other person and said, “There are many who are willing to pay more. However, the fees for the Hanmen Training Class are set by the Education Bureau, and we absolutely cannot charge a single cent more. So, please go back.”
The middle-aged man hurriedly looked at Xiao Han's aunt, and upon seeing this, she quickly said, “Xiao Han, look… my niece is actually quite good. Her current grades are average, but I believe that once she enters the Hanmen Training Class, her grades will definitely skyrocket. By then, if the girl gets into a good university, won't you benefit as well?”
“Auntie, there are laws for the country and rules for the family,” Xiao Han glanced at her and then said, “The Hanmen Training Class also has its own rules.”
“So what do you suggest we do?” The aunt was a bit frustrated.
“My idea is very simple,” Xiao Han chuckled and then said, “Just follow the official enrollment process.”
“Everyone is saying it,” the aunt said helplessly, “If it were possible to enroll normally, we wouldn't need to come to you. It's impossible to register normally, plus, there are too many people. People are already queuing up, who knows what it will be like later? That's why they came to me, hoping I could help. Xiao Han, considering I am your aunt, you really have to help.”
Mother Xiao was also somewhat anxious, as she hoped Xiao Han could help. After all, Xiao Han only had so few relatives now. If he really cut ties with these relatives, it would not be good for him.
“Xiao Han, if you can help, please do your best,” Mother Xiao spoke.
“This…” Xiao Han had intended to refuse, but hearing what his mother said, he immediately softened.
“Exactly, exactly!” The aunt hurriedly nodded and said, “If you can help, please do, and look at the girl, smart and cute. If she gets into university later, she will definitely be an excellent student. Xiao Han, whether she can get into a good university depends on you now.”
“Auntie, that's uncertain,” Xiao Han replied, “While it's true that joining the Hanmen Training Class gives her an extra opportunity, it all depends on personal ability. If her abilities are not sufficient, it definitely won't work. Besides, the Hanmen Training Class isn't short of such cases. They come in with average grades and leave with average grades.”
“That has nothing to do with you!” the aunt hurriedly said, “Wouldn't the girl know herself?”
“Alright then.” Xiao Han nodded slightly and said, “We'll accept her for now. Leave the information, and I'll have someone notify you later.”
“Good, good!” The middle-aged man, upon hearing this, was overjoyed and said, “Thank you, Teacher Xiao. Thank you, Teacher Xiao.”
While speaking, he hurriedly pulled out a red envelope and handed it to Xiao Han.
“Uncle, we don't accept red envelopes,” Xiao Han smiled and then said, “Keep your money, I understand that you work hard to earn it and need to find ways to support your daughter's education. Every cent is saved for essentials.”
“This…” The middle-aged man was stunned, not sure whether to continue offering the red envelope to Xiao Han.
Xiao Han stood up, stuffed the red envelope back into his pocket, and said, “Since I've already agreed to accept your child, this means I will definitely do my best to train her. As for how much understanding ability she has, that totally depends on her own talent.”
“Yes, yes!” The middle-aged man nodded and then said, “Well… then I thank you, Teacher Xiao.”
The middle-aged woman beside him kept a nervous smile on her face. Then she placed the gifts she had in her hand on the nearby table, and hurriedly said, “Xiao Ling, aren't you going to thank Teacher Xiao?”
“Thank you, Teacher Xiao,” The girl, no longer nervous but rather playfully looking at Xiao Han, seemed full of curiosity. The young man before her, the same age as herself, she had seen him on TV, his news had covered the networks recently. The first ever to achieve full marks in the national exams, the top scholar, the mysterious teacher of the Hanmen Training Class… a combination of identities that had once shocked many and caused countless young girls in Linjiang City to scream and swoon.
Unexpectedly, this mysterious man was standing so casually before her, dressed in a tank top and shorts. No matter how one looked at him, he did not seem pretentious at all. She had been worried before, but now it seemed that this boy was just like the boy next door, smiling very gently, without a hint of arrogance.
Xiao Han's lips curled into a smile, and then he said, “You're welcome, just study hard in the future.”
“Hmm!” The girl smiled tenderly, still showing a bit of shyness, looking exceptionally youthful.
The aunt was satisfied, seeing that Xiao Han had agreed, she also relaxed. It looked like the thousand yuan red envelope was in the bag. This was her first time feeling that having connections made earning money so easy.
After chatting briefly, the middle-aged man left the girl's information, and then they all got up to leave.
