The story of the boss after retirement

Chapter 16 Hello, I am Gu Xiao

When people are very happy, they always feel that time passes quickly. Li Wei has experienced this now. A week has passed in a flash. They have completed the registration procedures and received the list of books given by the professor.

“I didn’t expect to be back to school again.”

Looking at the huge books piled on the desk, Li Wei felt a bit familiar and had a headache. Why were these books getting thicker and thicker? They could be used as weapons if thrown out, or as weightlifting exercise equipment.

Even though she liked this study room very much and felt that reading here was a pleasure, she couldn't help but feel hesitant now. Could she really graduate successfully?

"What's wrong? Do you regret it?" Wei Yu asked. If Li Wei regretted it, it didn't matter. She could just change her major to something that was equally interesting and easy, or just stop studying. In any case, everything depended on her own mood.

Many people would probably say that parents like Wei Yu spoil their children too much. As a result, their children will quit working if they are not satisfied with something, and nothing can be accomplished. However, people tend to seek benefits and avoid harm. No one will give up on things that are good for them. It's like if there is a cabinet of gold in front of you, would you dislike the weight of the gold and not take it?

Wei Yu has the ability to treat herself well, and all of this is based on Li Wei's perception. Li Wei is timid and has no ambition. All she wants is to live her life easily and comfortably. There is no need to make things difficult for herself.

"No, I just want to say that I am very happy to see you today. I have many questions I want to discuss with you, but before that, I'd better finish reading the book first. I always think that philosophy is a tool for me to understand the world."

How could Li Wei regret it? She had already known this famous teacher on the Internet, who was humorous and experienced. The offline teacher was even more wise. She was like a sponge, constantly absorbing sea water.

At first, Li Wei couldn't imagine that she would have to study philosophy and read original foreign works. Her English level was not up to that level yet. Fortunately, Wei Yu was there. She had been a professional English teacher, so teaching English was not a problem for her.

In this way, Li Wei started her study journey in Taiwan, which was fulfilling and busy. The process of acquiring any knowledge is boring. No matter how much you love the subject, you will still be distressed when you encounter difficulties, but Wei Yu will always accompany her.

Someone prepared three meals a day, all of which were her favorite foods. Someone prepared brown sugar water for her during her period. If she didn't understand something about schoolwork, someone would explain it to her. Li Wei really lived a life here where everything was provided for her. She felt like the heroine in a novel, the kind of person who was pampered.

Li Wei, who has everything going her way, has become more naive but also gradually bolder. She knows how to do many things after experiencing more, such as traveling abroad during holidays, surfing and diving at the beach. There is no day when she is unhappy and she is full of energy every day.

Being timid means having doubts and a sense of crisis about the world. When you feel extremely safe and confident, you will be the courageous one. Although Li Wei has not yet developed into a social gangster, she is becoming more and more skilled in saying "no".

"Weiwei, why is it that everyone else went to the beach, but you didn't get tanned, but I got two degrees darker? The sun is biased!"

Li Wei and Wei Yu went to the beach during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. Because of the sunscreen prepared by Wei Yu, she did not get tanned, which made Wu Yi, who also went to the beach, envious. She went out for a walk and came back two degrees darker. The sun was still very strong at this time.

"I always go out for a walk when the sun goes down. I don't get much sunbathing." Li Wei said against her will. In fact, she was addicted to surfing this time and stayed at the beach for a long time. However, the sunscreen was specially made by Wei Yu and she had no intention of developing it, so she decided to keep it secret.

"Why is there a row of purified water on the table at the back of the classroom? Are there any changes to the courses today?" Li Wei changed the subject.

Wu Yi was born and raised in Taiwan, and she was also directly admitted from the school, so she is usually more informed than Li Wei and the others. There are eight permanent students in their class, and some are from other colleges who just take the course together, but there will not be more than twenty people. After all, Professor Zheng is old and he also wants some peace and quiet.

Because there are not many people, the classes are all held in a small classroom with fixed desks and chairs, and people who know each other basically sit together. The back is always empty. Now the empty table is filled with purified water, and Li Wei is a little curious.

"It's not a course change. I heard that professors from other schools came to have a friendly exchange and chose Professor Zheng's class."

Wu Yi didn't know the details. Anyway, the school holds this kind of exchange activity every year, where professors communicate with each other. It should only take a few days. Professors all have their own research projects and are very busy. Who would go to listen to other professors' lectures all the time? But if they are not busy, it is possible. After all, Professor Zheng is a world-renowned philosophy tutor.

"Here I am, here I am. Oh, it turns out that you are a professor from Sin Chew University of Technology. Their university is very formal. Every time we have an exchange, the professors wear the same uniform, for fear that others will not know that they are from Sin Chew University of Technology."

At this time, a group of people passed by the window. Their classroom needed to go around a glass corridor. Professor Zheng was among them, so he must be here. Wu Yi saw the conspicuous school badge and knew that this was the professor of that school. These professors from famous schools all had conspicuous bags and the school badges were pinned on the chest of their suits.

Sin Chew University of Technology is ranked in the top 50 in the world, mainly because of its famous engineering. Some of its individual majors are among the top 10 in the world, so it is still very well-known. However, Li Wei had not paid much attention to these before. After a quick look at these professors, she felt something new.

"Hey? Is that a professor or a student? So handsome!"

Li Wei's radar for handsome guys went off immediately. A group of people from Sin Chew University of Technology were chatting and laughing with Professor Zheng. Some of them were very handsome, but the one who attracted Li Wei the most was a boy walking at the end.

He looked around as he walked, but his eyes were not frivolous but admiring. His eyeballs were a little blue, but he had a traditional Chinese appearance, with straight brow bones, sharp eyebrows, and a high nose. He looked like a sharp eagle, but when he smiled he had charming dimples.

Li Wei embarrassedly withdrew her gaze. They had just looked at each other accidentally. Li Wei saw Li Wei tilting her head to look at him. He also tilted his head and smiled. This made Li Wei shy. She stopped looking out the window. Her heart was in a mess. Even when Professor Zheng came in, she couldn't concentrate on what the professor was saying.

Wei Yu saw all of this, but she didn't interrupt and just watched silently. In order to give Li Wei room to grow, she didn't sit next to Li Wei. Most of the time, she just observed and provided emotional support and material help.

"Okay, students, these professors will study with us for a month, so everyone should help each other."

Li Wei came back to her senses and found that the professors had already introduced themselves. She vaguely heard everyone's name. As for the boy with a grandma-like smile, he was also a professor at Sin Chew University of Technology. However, Li Wei only heard him say that he was 30 years old. She was busy looking at his charming dimples.

"Hello, I'm Gu Xiao." After the class, some professors followed Professor Zheng and left, with amazement on their faces. They were surprised by Professor Zheng's profound knowledge. Philosophy was indeed the top subject. Gu Xiao stayed.

This is the first time that Gu Xiao has come to exchange ideas as a professor at Sin Chew University of Technology. He had been conducting research at other schools before. Gu Xiao is a true child prodigy. He found his interest very early, graduated with a doctorate at the age of 21, and then worked on his own project. He has been working at Sin Chew University of Technology for the past two years. He has never been to Taiwan and is very curious.

Gu Xiao's grandmother is from Singapore, but his mother married in Germany. He has a quarter of Chinese blood, and he is the one who looks most like his grandmother's father in the family. Gu Xiao's grandmother loves Gu Xiao very much, and Gu Xiao will go to Singapore to accompany his grandmother whenever he is free. The old lady always has different memories of her homeland.

My grandmother’s father fled from the Central Plains to Xingzhou. He was a wise old man who founded his own family business in Xingzhou. Unfortunately, he was never able to return to his hometown during the turbulent times. Because of my father’s obsession, my grandmother did visit here when she was young, but now she is old and it is too troublesome for her to be well prepared every time she travels. This time, Gu Xiao signed up to join the exchange. He wanted to help my grandmother see the changes here.

Wanwan is just the first stop of the exchange group. They will then go to schools in other places for exchanges. However, Gu Xiao never expected that he would meet the one of his dreams here.

Gu Xiao was a child prodigy. When he was in school, everyone around him treated him like a child. After he graduated, he was busy with his own research projects. He could be said to have been single until he was thirty years old. However, his family was open-minded and did not rush him. Fate cannot be rushed.

Gu Xiao was born in Xingzhou. When his mother went back to her parents' home, he couldn't wait to be born before he was even a month old. He was very thin and small at that time. His grandmother was afraid that he would die young, so she specially went to ask for a amulet so that he could grow up safely.

Gu Xiao's grandmother was a Buddhist and lived a peaceful life. She knew very well that everything was predestined. To her, it was more important than anything else for her children to grow up safely and healthily. Of course, it would be even better if he could meet a girl he loved and start a family, but she didn't force it. Because her grandmother was a Buddhist, Gu Xiao's parents didn't urge him.

Now, ripples appeared on Gu Xiao's calm surface, which would eventually become turbulent waves in the future.

(Life experience plus sweet love is also good hahaha)
