"You guys eat it yourselves—"

He Qing said, "I have another one—", and picked one up from the table.

Shen Yun accepted her daughter-in-law's kindness.

The principal and Feng Ting were so stunned that they forgot to pick up their chopsticks.

If we're talking about Mr. He's respect for his teachers, then we can't just give it to Teacher Shen alone; but if that's not the reason, what other explanation is there?
Also, Teacher Shen is really not polite; she accepts things just because someone gives them to her.

Following Teacher Shen's example, Feng Ting tried to serve He Qing some food, saying, "Ms. He, please try this; it's a local specialty."

He Qing calmly declined, saying, "Teacher Feng, you can do it yourself."

It was practically written all over her face that she didn't like others serving her food. Feng Ting glanced at it and said, "Mr. He, I'm using serving chopsticks."

He Qing said calmly, "Teacher Feng, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to be picky. Everyone, please feel free to eat whatever you like."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jun picked up another piece of fish for her: "Try this braised grouper, it's their specialty."

He Qing quickly reached out her plate to take it. Seeing this, Feng Ting almost cried. How could they treat her so obviously differently?

Principal Qin chuckled dryly, somewhat puzzled as to how Teacher Shen had cultivated such charm. He figured that even his own mother probably treated her the same way.

"Come on, one piece each!"

Wang Ping quickly stood up and took it.

Principal Qin glanced at Shen Yun, but couldn't see anything special about her. Why did President He and President Wang treat her with such respect?

To say that Mr. He and Mr. Wang are inherently like this is impossible. Why do they have completely different attitudes towards Feng Ting?

Feng Ting then asked, "Mr. He, Mr. Wang, would you like some drinks?"

Principal Qin also looked at them. Today, no alcohol was being served; there was only tea on the table.

Before He Qing could speak, Shen Yun said, "How about some red date and corn juice?"

Feng Ting frowned. This Teacher Shen is really something. She didn't even ask you. You ordered this, and you don't even know if the distinguished guest will drink it?

The principal asked, "Is that alright, Mr. He?"

Isn't that obvious? Shen Yun already said it, so there's no reason why it can't be done. Besides, the reason Shen Yun said that is because He Qing also drinks red date and corn juice at home.

Feng Ting went out to ask the shop owner for a drink, while the principal went to the restroom. On the way, Feng Ting said to the principal, "Wasn't Teacher Shen being a bit too impolite today? She didn't pay any attention to the details when it came to the guests."

The principal looked back and then whispered, "You haven't noticed, have you? It seems like Mr. He and the others are really into Ms. Shen's approach."

Feng Ting whispered, "I tried to serve them food like Teacher Shen did, but they refused."

The principal thought for a moment, looked at Feng Ting, and then at Shen Yun's kind and gentle appearance, and said, "Perhaps, good looks are justice."

After the principal went into the restroom, Feng Ting outside finally realized what was happening. "Damn it, you're saying I'm ugly?"

Inside the private room, Shen Jun was still saying, "He Qing, Pingping, stay in Laiwu for a few more days. When I have my vacation, I'll go back to Jiangzhou with Xiangjun."

"Okay, Mom—"

The old lady spoke up: stay home for a few days if you want. The charity foundation is back on track; being away from the office for a few days won't be a problem. Most approvals are handled through the OA system, so you can just use your phone.

When Feng Ting came in again, taking advantage of the principal's absence, she tried to get closer to Mr. He and initiated conversation:

"Mr. He, you are very knowledgeable. I have a question for you—"

He Qing nodded. "Please go ahead."

"Here's the thing, my son wants to buy a new energy vehicle. He works at Huadi and has been saying the Ruishi N7L is good. I asked Ms. Shen about it a while ago, and she suggested I buy the Junxing M7. I talked to my son about it later, and he said Junxing Auto is newly established and lacks experience. The Ruishi brand, on the other hand, is Huadi's high-end brand, and Huadi's sales are currently far ahead of the competition; it's the largest car brand. I'd like to hear your advice—"

He Qing smiled, "Teacher Feng, that depends on whose opinion is more important in your family. If it's your son, I suggest you buy it according to his idea to avoid creating any misunderstandings."

If you ask me, I think Junxing Auto is good. Let me explain from two perspectives. The argument that it lacks a solid foundation is untenable. The rapid growth of China's automotive industry has nothing to do with the establishment time of car companies; it's because the supply chain is mature. Everyone sources components, so what does the establishment time of a car company have to do with it? It only matters whether the procurement standards are high or low. I know that Junxing Auto's quality control requirements far exceed those of its competitors.

Secondly, high sales volume does not necessarily equate to a strong brand. Take traditional gasoline-powered cars, for example. The Nissan Sylphy outsells Mercedes-Benz, right? Then let me ask you, between Nissan's premium brand Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz, which would you choose?

Feng Ting paused for a moment, then laughed: "Then I'll definitely choose Mercedes-Benz—" She had hardly ever heard of the Infiniti brand; if He Qing hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known it was a Nissan.

The principal came in from outside and overheard Feng Ting saying she wanted to choose a Mercedes. He joked, "Teacher Feng, we can't stick to old ideas anymore. Everyone's buying new energy vehicles these days."

Feng Ting explained that she wasn't looking to buy a Mercedes-Benz, but rather was choosing between the Ruishi brand and Junxing Auto. She had just consulted with General Manager He, using Nissan and Mercedes-Benz as an example.

Just as they were struggling to find a topic to talk about, upon hearing Mr. He's explanation, the principal immediately chimed in, "Mr. He, your analogy is so apt. I know a little about this. Huadi Auto is capable of producing low-end, high-volume cars. Its vertical integration capabilities give it a strong cost control advantage."

But building a luxury brand is different from making mass-market cars. You need to understand the needs of high-end users; they're no longer looking for value for money, but rather emotional value. Moreover, current high-end models have high requirements for intelligent driving systems, which is a weakness for the Ryzen brand.

He Qing glanced at Principal Qin, surprised that he knew so much about new energy vehicles. "Oh dear, I'll call him today and discuss it. Let's go with the Junxing car; the Ruishi brand doesn't seem very reliable—"

At this moment, Shen Yun suddenly said, "Teacher Feng, don't be in such a hurry. Jia Hao might have other factors to consider. He works at Huadi now, which seems to be the Ruishi brand, right? Would it be inappropriate to let him buy a Junxing car?"

Principal Qin then learned that Jia Hao worked for the Ruishi brand. "Teacher Shen is right, Teacher Feng, you should consider this factor. Generally speaking, even if a company doesn't have a mandatory requirement, it will definitely be quite averse to employees driving competing brands' cars."

For example, it's like you keep saying your teaching level is superior to Teacher Shen's, but when your own child is in school, you use connections to get him into Teacher Shen's class. What will others think of that?

Feng Ting's face immediately darkened. "Principal, your analogy was very good, I understood. However—"

"But what?" Principal Qin asked, picking up some food with his chopsticks, quite pleased that Feng Ting had listened to his advice.

"However, you shouldn't use that analogy anymore—"

Wang Ping quickly covered her mouth. Principal Qin's face turned slightly red. How could Teacher Feng embarrass me in front of such an important guest? Really, no wonder she's not as respected as Teacher Shen.

Feng Ting was conflicted. Most of the people present said that the Junxing M7 was better, but if she bought the Junxing M7, would it affect her son's job? If so, it would be a loss.

But spending hundreds of thousands on a car he didn't like for the sake of work felt like a huge waste. Then another question popped into his head: "Mr. He, if none of you have a positive outlook on the Ruishi brand, doesn't that mean working for Ruishi isn't stable?"

He Qing understood a mother's worries and patiently said, "Teacher Feng, don't worry. The Ruishi brand is an important part of Huadi Auto Group's high-end strategy. Even if outsiders don't have a good impression of this brand, Huadi will definitely continue to invest in it. Unless one day, there is really no hope left, but at that time, the outstanding employees of the Ruishi brand will definitely be transferred to other brands under Huadi Group, so you don't need to worry about their work."

However, working at Ruishi Brand makes promotions and salary increases a bit more difficult because the company's performance isn't great. But it's not too bad; after all, it's a large corporation, not the best, but not the worst either.

Feng Ting nodded repeatedly after listening. He Qing's advice was very reasonable, but why did she feel increasingly uncomfortable? He Qing had repeatedly boasted about her son's job in front of Teacher Shen before, but now it seemed it was all just so-so.

"I didn't expect Mr. He to know so much about the automotive industry," Feng Ting exclaimed after a long pause.

The principal chuckled, "Teacher Feng, you don't know this, do you? Mr. He is the head of the Junxiao Charity Foundation, and both the Junxiao Charity Foundation and Junxing Automobile Group belong to the Junxiao Group. Do you think Mr. He wouldn't know that?"

"Ah—Junxiao Group?" As a native of Hanjiang, Feng Ting naturally knew the significance of Junxiao Group, which was even more powerful than Huadi Group.

Then she sighed softly, "It's a pity that my Jia Hao is still not good enough. Wouldn't it have been better if he had joined Junxiao Group back then?" After saying that, she said to Shen Yun, "Teacher Shen, you can ask President He to help you ask around. If you can get a job at Junxiao Group, you and Lao Chen will be very lucky in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ping quickly lowered her head, afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold back her laughter.

Shen Yun said speechlessly, "Chen Xiao has already joined Junxiao Group—"

Feng Ting exclaimed again, a look of jealousy flashing in her eyes. A daughter-in-law like her was far better than Liu Li, and her son had a better job than Jia Hao.

Well, you can't say that. At least Jia Hao is a supervisor, while Chen Xiao is younger than Jia Hao and is definitely still a junior employee, Feng Ting kept reassuring herself.

After the meal, the group went downstairs together. He Qing and Wang Ping stood on either side of Shen Jun. The principal and Feng Ting exchanged a glance, wondering what was so charming about Teacher Shen.

"Principal, I won't be going back to school soon; I don't have classes this afternoon."

"okay."

He Qing and Wang Ping turned to say goodbye to Principal Qin and Feng Ting. A short-haired girl got out of the driver's seat of a black Rolls-Royce Phantom parked by the roadside and opened the Rolls-Royce's double doors.

The principal and Feng Ting politely greeted and said goodbye to He Qing. Suddenly, their eyes narrowed, and Feng Ting couldn't help but call out, "Hey, Teacher Shen, what are you doing?"

Principal Qin was also confused. How did Teacher Shen end up sitting in a Rolls-Royce Phantom?
Shen Jun waved his hand from inside, "I'm going home."

Principal Qin and Feng Ting were completely dumbfounded. What were you doing sitting in Mr. He's car at home? That's a Rolls-Royce Phantom! Do you think we can just sit in it?
To their surprise, Mr. He got into the car as if nothing had happened, while Mr. Wang went to the passenger seat.

Even after the car had driven quite a distance, Feng Ting still asked the principal with a bewildered look, "What's going on with her and them?"

Principal Qin smiled wryly, "How would I know? It felt like a family." He suddenly remembered that when he entered the private room earlier today, he seemed to have heard President He call out "Mom." Could she be her goddaughter? He would have to find an opportunity to ask Teacher Shen about it.

If that's the case, then Mr. He's donation of the library to the school is very likely because of Ms. Shen. No wonder Laiwu No. 1 Middle School was favored by the Junxiao Charity Foundation for no apparent reason. If there is this relationship between Ms. Shen and Mr. He, then the logic becomes self-consistent.

"Teacher Shen is truly a treasure," Principal Qin thought silently. Feng Ting, on the other hand, was somewhat dazed. She'd spent half her life competing with Teacher Shen, only to find it all for nothing. Like Principal Qin, she was now recalling He Qing's cry of "Mom!" when she entered the private room. With such a goddaughter, she and Teacher Shen were no longer on the same level.

When Shen Jun and the others returned home, Wang Ping told Zhao Xiangjun about the funny things that happened at the dinner table that day, as well as Feng Ting's suggestion that He Qing arrange a job for Chen Xiao. The group couldn't help but laugh again.

Zhao Xiangjun said to Shen Yun, "Mom, when you go to school next time, they will definitely ask about your relationship with He Qing, and then inquire about Chen Xiao's situation."

Shen Jun nodded. "Then tell the truth?"

He shook his head: "Don't say that—I'm still a little worried about you and Dad being home alone. There are still quite a few bad people in society these days. If they knew that the parents of the Junxiao Group's boss were in their hometown, I'm afraid some people would have designs on you."

Shen Yun nodded. In the past, when watching TV dramas, she often saw wealthy people's family members being kidnapped and extorted for money.

Zhao Xiangjun had arranged security personnel around them, but Shen Yun and Chen Tao were both teachers, so it would be too absurd for them to bring security personnel to the school.

"Before you and Dad retire, try your best not to reveal any information about Chen Xiao. As for He Qing, if anyone asks, just say she's your goddaughter."

If it were revealed that she was his daughter-in-law, it would be absolutely shocking. Many people would definitely dig deep into Chen Xiao's background. How could an ordinary person have two wives, both of whom are incredibly beautiful, especially given He Qing's astonishing identity? In that case, Chen Xiao's true identity probably wouldn't be able to be hidden for long before it was all revealed.

Shen Yun felt that Zhao Xiangjun's consideration was quite thoughtful. Having a goddaughter like He Qing made it easier to explain why the Chen family lived in a scholarly villa area—with her goddaughter's help, the Chen family had prospered, and Chen Xiao had a good job. (End of Chapter)
