Huang Qian was clearly in a very good mood, chattering away to Liu Weidong about things at school the whole way, her pretty face always adorned with a happy smile.

Although Liu Weidong thought that all the little things Huang Qian mentioned were insignificant, he knew that they were important to the girl, so he patiently listened to Huang Qian's rambling.

However, for an older man who has lived two lives, being able to stroll arm in arm with such a youthful and energetic girl is a rather pleasant thing, so he didn't feel impatient at all.

However, neither of them noticed that Zhou Zhenyu had just seen them walking away hand in hand from a public phone booth across the street.

This guy called Wei Wanqing, hoping to see if he could save their marriage. After all, the businesswoman's business was booming, making Zhou Zhenyu, who used to look down on business people, extremely envious. As long as he maintained his marriage with Wei Wanqing, he would have half of her earnings, so Zhou Zhenyu certainly didn't want a divorce.

However, Wei Wanqing's attitude was extremely cold, giving Zhou Zhenyu no chance to salvage the situation. She even declared over the phone that she would file for divorce immediately. She was willing to suffer humiliation just to escape this unhappy marriage!

Zhou Zhenyu was already annoyed by the phone call, and seeing the prettiest female student walking hand in hand with a young man made him even angrier.

However, this guy didn't recognize Liu Weidong's back and only thought he was a hoodlum Huang Qian knew off-campus. So he gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "This brat, she always looks like a good student, but she's nothing special! Looks like I need to hurry up, otherwise such a beautiful flower will be taken by someone else!"

Liu Weidong, of course, had no idea that his walk with Huang Qian on the street would only fuel Zhou Zhenyu's wicked thoughts. He chatted and laughed with the girl all the way, and soon they arrived at the Western restaurant.

Liu Weidong was a regular customer here, and the head waiters he encountered along the way greeted him warmly. Liu Weidong nodded in response naturally, appearing very at ease.

Huang Qian had never been to such a high-class place before and seemed a little reserved. Seeing Liu Weidong greeting the people here so casually, she felt both admiration and envy, thinking that Uncle Liu was more capable than she had imagined.

The two soon arrived at the kitchen and met Pierre, who was preparing lunch.

"Ah, my dear friend, you've arrived!" Pierre greeted Liu Weidong with his usual exaggerated tone, then looked at Huang Qian curiously and asked, "Hey, who is this pretty lady?"

This was the first time Huang Qian had been complimented on her looks by a foreigner, and she was at a loss for words.

Fortunately, Liu Weidong spoke up in time, which finally relieved the girl: "Be more discreet in your speech, don't scare the girl. Her name is Huang Qian, she's the daughter of a friend of mine, and she wants to find someone to tutor her in English. I think you must have someone suitable here, please introduce me to someone quickly."

“Oh, your friend’s child, I see!” Pierre nodded repeatedly, but with a strange smile on his face, clearly not believing that their relationship was that simple.

However, although the Frenchman was gossipy, he was still very efficient. He quickly found a dignified-looking waitress in her thirties and said, "Li Lan is the best English speaker in the restaurant, even more fluent than me. Your friend's daughter can definitely find a good English tutor with her!"

Liu Weidong asked Huang Qian in a low voice, "What do you think?"

At this moment, the little girl was completely at a loss, and could only nod timidly and say, "Uncle Liu, I will listen to you."

"Then let's settle on this. Starting next week, there will be two tutoring sessions per week. You can decide the time yourselves." Liu Weidong made the decision for Huang Qian, and then said to Pierre, "You have such a big place here, arranging a tutoring space for them shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Pierre immediately replied, "Since you've asked, I'll definitely make the arrangements. From now on, the tutoring will be in my office, and I'll give them the space. Is that alright?"

"Very good!" Liu Weidong nodded in satisfaction, then said to Li Lan, "Then I'll trouble you. I'll charge you two hours each time, and I'll charge you ten yuan per hour. Is that alright?"

From the moment Pierre called Li Lan in until Liu Weidong decided to give her extra lessons, no one had asked for her opinion. Li Lan, however, dared not disobey the head chef's arrangements and was secretly sulking. Unexpectedly, Liu Weidong quoted a hefty price of ten yuan per hour for the lessons, instantly brightening her mood.

You should know that Li Lan's monthly salary is less than fifty yuan, and these days restaurants are not allowed to accept tips. The tips given by foreigners have to be handed over.

As long as you tutor Huang Qian twice a week, you can earn more than 300 yuan extra a month. You can't find such a good deal even with a lantern!

Li Lan immediately broke into a bright smile and nodded repeatedly to Liu Weidong, saying, "Yes, yes, that's perfect! Mr. Liu, don't worry, I will definitely teach this child well and guarantee that her English grades will improve significantly!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of it." Liu Weidong nodded to Li Lan, and then said to Huang Qian, "Go and discuss the specific time for the tutoring with Sister Li Lan yourself. Lao Pi and I have some things to talk about."

“My surname isn’t Pi…” Pierre protested in vain. After Huang Qian and Li Lan left, he immediately winked at Liu Weidong slyly and said, “You actually made a move on such a pure and lovely girl. I’m so envious!”

Liu Weidong quickly explained, "Don't talk nonsense. She really is my friend's child. I just saw that this girl studies quite diligently, so I thought I'd give her a hand. If she can get into university, it will be very beneficial for her future."

Although Liu Weidong spoke from the bottom of his heart, Pierre didn't believe him at all. He glanced at him sideways and said, "Don't lie to me. I've been there before. That girl's eyes can't hide anything from me. They're clearly full of love!"

At this point, the Frenchman's romantic side kicked in, and he looked at Liu Weidong with envy, saying, "In Chinese terms, you're very popular with women!"

Liu Weidong shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How could I be popular with women?"

"Not yet?" Seeing Liu Weidong still deny it, Pierre suddenly got excited and started counting on his fingers: "This little girl counts as one, the senior sister you brought to buy a sewing machine last time also counts, and Anna who has always been thinking about you, I know of three, and you still dare to say that you are not popular with women?"

Speechless after being questioned by the Frenchman, Liu Weidong paused for a moment before saying, "Stop with the nonsense, I've come to see you today for serious business!"
