The two of them joked for a while. Gu Wangshan asked again,"I picked out a few books from the book list you gave me last time. They were quite interesting. However, it seemed that the things involved were too broad and there was no foundation at all. Sometimes, he did not know where to start. It's almost the end of the semester. Do you still have time to do this?”
Jiang Zhihan said,"You'll have this feeling at the beginning. During this period of time, I made a friend in university. He's an Alum student. I've mentioned him to you before. He was involved in a related research project. I would help out with odd jobs, do some literature review, data collection, and preliminary data sorting. Having a systematic project to do was indeed much better than reading books. Now, I felt that the framework of the entire knowledge system was already there, and my goal was also quite clear. However, the filling of knowledge in each specific place had just begun. Over the past few months, I've realized that I'm indeed quite interested in this thing, which is why I've invested so much time into it. Your interests might lie elsewhere, so there's no need to force yourself.”
"I'm quite interested, but I'm not as sure as you." Gu Wangshan said. Besides, I promised my dad that I wouldn't fall behind in the final exams, so I've been studying hard recently. When he was free during the holidays, he would pick it up and take a look. So in the end, you're still the one who's free and easy. You dare to spend time on this even though the final exams are around the corner.”
Jiang Zhihan said,"There are final exams every semester. Besides, what really counted was the final exam, right? There were some things that one would remember before the exam, but when they came back from the holidays, they would forget most of it. The next exam, if they came back again, it would actually be repetitive work. It wouldn't be too late to memorize those things during the semester before the college entrance examination. The more I study these things, the more I feel that when the capital market enters our country, it will be a once-in-a-decade or even once-in-a-decade opportunity. Who knew when it would come? Therefore, he had to be prepared early. In the end, the urgency of this matter was no less than the exam.”
Gu Wangshan said," I read the biographies of some successful people. Although they had excellent grades since they were young and were stable, it was not that there were no people who went up smoothly, but they were very few. For most people, if they really wanted to excel in a certain field, most of them would be very interested in something at a very young age and invest a lot of energy into it. Sometimes, I'm troubled because I don't know what I'm interested in.”
Jiang Zhihan felt like he was a confidant and echoed,""This is exactly what I was thinking. However, there was no need to rush. Many people did not know what they wanted to do for the rest of their lives. How old are we? We still have time. It was funny. When I was in elementary school, I fantasized that I might be like Einstein. Now that I haven't entered university, it's really difficult for me to find out what kind of talent I have.”
Gu Wangshan and Jiang Zhihan often chatted together since they met, and they usually hit it off. However, Gu Wangshan's mood today was different from before. As he spoke, he took out many family and personal things that he had never mentioned before to share with Jiang Zhihan. Unknowingly, the distance between the two of them became closer and closer, as if they had been bosom friends for many years. Two hours passed quickly. It was not until Gu Wangshan's butler came to call them for dinner that Jiang Zhihan patted his head and said,""You've been here for so long, but you haven't gone to greet your mother.”She then quietly asked Gu Wangshan," What should I call your mother when I see her?”Gu Wangshan said," Don't be too formal. My mother is very easy to get along with. You can just call her Aunt Wen."”
Perhaps it was because she loved him, Gu Wangshan's mother was very close to Jiang Zhihan. As Jiang Zhihan spoke to her, he secretly sized up the noblewoman. Auntie Wen spoke slowly and clearly. Her facial features looked very generous and had an indescribable temperament. Perhaps this was the so-called graceful bearing? Jiang Zhihan thought to himself. Although she wasn't very beautiful, her every move and smile still showed her youthful elegance. In terms of age, Jiang Zhihan estimated that she should be about the same age as his mother, but she looked at least four or five years younger. After all, she did not need to work early in the morning and late at night. The superior living conditions were quite effective in maintaining her youth.
Aunt Wen said to Jiang Zhihan," Wangshan is not bad in everything. He's just a little stubborn sometimes. He's a little unsociable." He didn't have many friends in school. You and Ning Cui are his few good friends. If there's anything, we have to help each other.”
Of course, Jiang Zhihan agreed. He joked,""Auntie, actually, Gu Wangshan is still very charismatic. I heard that the girls who like him in the second year of high school can line up from the entrance of Class Five to Class One. It's just that his standards are too high.”Regardless of his personality, status, or upbringing, all mothers in the world liked to hear others praise their sons. Auntie Wen could not help but laugh when she heard Jiang Zhihan's words. Gu Wangshan glared at Jiang Zhihan fiercely.
The atmosphere at the dining table was very harmonious. Wen Ningcui still looked like a ladylike lady. She did not talk much and was gentle. Auntie Wen was even more cordial to her and would even help her pick up food from time to time.
There were Auntie Wen, Gu Wangshan, Jiang Zhihan, Wen Ningcui, Auntie Wen's housekeeper (Gu Wangshan called her Auntie Xiao Zhou), and Auntie Wen's health nurse. There were a total of six people. Gu Wangshan did not serve many dishes to the two guests. There were five dishes and one soup. However, it was Jiang Zhihan's first time eating a boiled shrimp. It was considered a rare item in an inland city like the Central Plains. There was also a dish of mushroom roast chicken. He had never seen such a cold mushroom river before, and it tasted especially delicious. He asked what kind of mushroom it was, and Auntie Xiao Zhou told him that it was a special fungus from the Yan Mountain range. It was also a dish that had been served at a state banquet.
Aunt Wen was obviously very familiar with Wen Ningcui. She was asking about Jiang Zhihan's condition. Jiang Zhihan also briefly talked about the hacking incident after he met Gu Wangshan and the revenge he suffered later. He also talked about the small bookstore his mother opened, the business situation, and the difficulties he suffered. Auntie Wen listened with great interest. After lunch, she went to the living room to continue chatting. For some reason, Jiang Zhihan suddenly had a strange thought. He felt that he was like Granny Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden. It was a pleasant thing to talk to the nobles about life outside that they had never come into contact with.
Seeing that everyone was chatting happily, Gu Wangshan was naturally very happy. Firstly, his mother had been in a depressed mood during this period of time. It was rare for her to talk to someone for a long time. Secondly, he really wanted to show his mother that the friends he made outside were not ordinary people. He had once heard Ni Shang mention Jiang Zhihan's case, but he did not know the details. He took this opportunity to bring up this topic. Jiang Zhihan was very happy that Gu Wangshan took the initiative to mention this matter because the case should have been settled, but after all, there was no final judgment. He would take this opportunity to talk about it so that he could have another powerful ally if things changed in the future. Thinking of this, Jiang Zhihan told everyone in detail about the ins and outs of the matter and what he had seen and heard. Wen Ningcui was someone who abhorred evil. As she listened, her eyes burned with anger. Aunt Wen also sighed a few times, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
At this time, the nurse advised Auntie Wen to take a rest and take an afternoon nap. Aunt Wen shook her head and said,"I can't sleep even if I sleep during the day. I'm just lying there for nothing." Even at night, I can't sleep well."
Jiang Zhihan's heart skipped a beat. He remembered that Old Master Yang had been promoting a simple meditation routine recently, so he said to Auntie Wen,""The old man who taught me the Yang Family Style has recently been researching and promoting a simple method of meditating and cultivating Qi. It is easy to promote it to the people and has some preliminary results. If there's a chance, Auntie, you can give it a try. It might be beneficial to your spirit and body.”
"Can this be spread?" Gu Wangshan asked.”
"Old Master Yang's dream is to promote some beneficial things to as many people as possible. He said that hiding these things and passing them down from generation to generation had long lost its true meaning.”Gu Wangshan was very interested in this suggestion and urged his mother to give it a try. Auntie Wen nodded and agreed.
After chatting for a while more, Jiang Zhihan and Wen Ningcui stood up to bid farewell. Auntie Wen told them to come over more often when they were free. Hence, he left in the same jeep with the same driver. Jiang Zhihan said that he had something to do at school, so he got off the car with Wen Ningcui.
Wen Ningcui had heard most of Jiang Zhihan's deeds from Gu Wangshan at first. Later on, she got to know Ni Shang and the others and heard some more. However, many details were only heard for the first time today. She could not help but admire Jiang Zhihan. However, her mouth was unforgiving. Wen Ningcui said to Jiang Zhihan," I couldn't tell. You're really good at talking. You managed to trick Leader Ni in a few weeks. Today, you've made Auntie Wen happy in just half a day."”
"It doesn't matter whether I can make her happy or not," Jiang Zhihan retorted. It was more important for her future daughter-in-law to make her mother-in-law happy.”As she spoke, she looked at Wen Ningcui and smiled ambiguously.
"What do you mean?" Wen Ningcui asked.”
Although Wen Ningcui looked like a gentle kitten at Gu Wangshan's house, Jiang Zhihan knew her nature well. He did not dare to push her too much and changed the topic."By the way, let me know when your father is going to contract the canteen.”
"Why would I help you be a spy?" Wen Ningcui asked.”
Jiang Zhihan cried out,"What are you talking about? We're friends. Who else can you help if not me?”After thinking for a while, he said,"Why don't I give you another 10% of the shares?”
Wen Ningcui burst into laughter." Are you bribing me?”
" If this canteen is done well, 10% is not a small amount," Jiang Zhihan said seriously. You have to know that if you marry into a rich family, it's also very important to have more private money in your hands.”Before Wen Ningcui could lose her temper, he waved goodbye to her and ran away.
