You are my proper foothold

Hui Yue said to Jiang Xin, let's start a family.

Jiang Xin was stunned for three or four seconds when she heard these words, and then asked in surprise as if she had suddenly realized: "Brother, is this a marriage proposal?"

"...Are you stupid?" Hui Xiaoyou sat up and looked at him with a smile, shook his two big white paws, and said helplessly: "You don't even have a ring, what kind of marriage are you asking for?"

"Oh..." Jiang Xin's voice sounded both lost and relieved, only to hear him whisper: "That's good, otherwise it will be the other way around..."

"What's the matter? Shouldn't I beg?!" Hui Xiaoyou poked him funny, knowing what was going on in his heart, he couldn't help but want to laugh even more.

At this moment, Jiang Xin held onto his hand tightly again, and coaxed him calmly: "It should be, whoever asks for it should be... Brother, what do you mean by 'getting a family' just now?"

"What I mean is——" Hui Xiaoyou deliberately put off the air, paused for two seconds before lowering his voice and said mysteriously: "We should have our own house."

"My own house?" Jiang Xin was slightly taken aback, and saw that Yan Xiaoyou had happily bumped up to his computer, typing on the keyboard while saying, "That's right, my plan is to have one at the beginning of next year. The home that really belongs to the two of us! I’m already optimistic about it. I’ll withdraw all the money I’ve invested in the stock market and sell some of the gold futures in Hong Kong. The money I put together should be enough to pay the down payment! Even the house I've almost chosen the location, it's not a suburb, or a remote area like a provincial border, it's just between the Fourth Ring Road and the Fifth Ring Road, there are several neighborhoods in that area that look good!"

Jiang Xin didn't expect Hui Xiaoyi to become so excited when he mentioned the house, so he swallowed some of the words that just came to his lips, got up and went to the computer to look at his screen, and found that Hui Xiaoyou had already opened the screen. There is a row of links, all of which are housing sales information in various communities.

"Come and see, which of these do you like the most?" Hui Xiaoyou asked while tugging at his sleeve.

Jiang Xin glanced at them all, found a familiar name among them, couldn't help smiling, and asked back, "Brother, which one do you like best?"

"My words..." Hui Xiaoyou thought about it carefully, and said with some hesitation: "My favorite is actually this beautiful garden, which is right next to the Fourth Ring Road. Well, the layout and property management are good..."

"Well, I also think this place is good." Jiang Xin echoed from the side.

"But it's a bit expensive..." Hui Xiaoyou sighed, leaning his hands on his face and said, "This neighborhood has the highest price among all of them, how about 'you get what you pay for', if you choose here My money is probably not enough... I have to ask my husband for sponsorship..."

Jiang Xin couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "It's the home of the two of us, how can it be called sponsorship if I pay for it? It should be."

"If you say that, it's hard for me to refute..." Hui Xiaoyou turned his head and kissed him lightly, and asked with a happy smile, "Then why don't we find time to look at the house someday? We'll settle it as soon as possible." My heart is at ease."

"Okay, how about the afternoon of the 31st? It happens to be a holiday on New Year's Day, and Senior Brother Chen usually lets us leave half a day early." Jiang Xin said while stroking his head.

"No problem!" Hui Xiaoyou nodded immediately, but then he thought of another thing and couldn't help asking: "But will they still go to work in the afternoon on the 31st? If the people in the sales office also leave early, why don't we go in vain?" one trip."

"No, I can definitely see it." Jiang Xin looked at him and smiled, "Trust me, I won't let you run away for nothing."

"Hmm..." Hui Xiaoyou felt that Jiang Xin's expression was a little strange, but when he took a closer look, everything seemed to be normal. He didn't know if it was his own illusion, so he didn't think about other things, and after a few minutes, his mind suddenly returned. Put it all on the "see the new house".

Thinking that his wish of "getting a family" will come true soon, Hui Xiaoyou feels a little excited.

***

In the next few days, Hui Xiaoyou kept thinking about the house.

Of course, there is also the matter of resignation.

He filled out all the documents and sent them to Chen Mingjie on the 28th. When Chen Mingjie saw him, he was a little surprised and said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Xiaoyou, don't be in such a hurry. I told you that you can wait until after New Year's Day." .”

"This year's event, this year's end." Hui Xiaoyou's face was indifferent, he put the folder on his desk and said: "Look at what is missing, I will make it up right away."

Chen Mingjie sighed and nodded, "Okay, I'll just watch."

"Also, after I leave, the teacher responsible for leading Pei Ran and Xiao He cannot be lower than me." Yan Xiaoyou added, "That's all I ask."

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. When the next teacher who teaches quantitative finance comes, let them continue to follow, or study this field. You may have heard of the new teacher, and he is also a Ph.D. from Harvard. He is like you. Alumni, whose surname is Yan, is just the color of Yan."

"Yan..." Hui Xiaoyou pondered for a while, then suddenly remembered a person his mentor had mentioned to him before, "Could it be Yan Shu?"

"It's him!" Chen Mingjie seemed quite proud when he mentioned this new teacher, a similar expression had appeared on his face when he introduced Hui Xiao to others.

Chen Mingjie couldn't stop saying: "This Professor Yan is about the same age as you, but he became a full professor as soon as he came in, which can be regarded as breaking the record of our center."

Hui Xiaoyou listened silently, not feeling jealous or envious in his heart, but heaved a sigh of relief for Pei Ran and Xiao He.

This Yan Shu, who he had heard of when he was still studying at Harvard Business School, was a god-level figure.It is said that he graduated from the juvenile class of a well-known domestic university at the age of 16, and went directly to Harvard to study for a Ph. After using it, the response is good, and it can be regarded as a legend in the industry.

Although Hui Xiaoyou didn't quite understand why someone as powerful as Yan Shu would come to the center to be a mere full professor, but everyone has their own ambitions, and he doesn't want to speculate on other people's ideas, as long as he knows that his two students can do it in the future. With a good teacher, he can rest assured.

"Dean Chen, if I have nothing else to do, I'll go back and pack my things first." Hui Xiaoyou didn't bother to listen to Chen Mingjie's talk, so he went to the door and held the handle, looked back at him and said, "Please take a look as soon as possible, look." Approve as soon as possible, I will wait for your news."

"Oh..." Chen Mingjie seemed to have nothing to say to him in an instant, his proud expression disappeared, and he waved his hand casually and said, "Go, I understand."

Hui Xiaoyou hummed, turned around and went out.

Now there was only one last thing left to worry about.

Hui Xiaoyou scratched his head, thinking about how to tell Pei Ran and Xiao He about his resignation as tactfully as possible.

Thinking about these two children is also bitter... I just followed a mentor and changed to him not long after. After almost a year, I am familiar with all aspects, but I have to change to a new one...

Hui Xiaoyou couldn't help sighing and thinking about it, but in the end he found that there was no "tactful" solution to this kind of thing.

He could only speak to them directly.

There is no other choice, just say it straight...

Hui Xiaoyou returned to his office, called Pei Ran and asked him and Xiao He to come over immediately.

It is probably because he heard that his voice was not right. When Pei Ran and Xiao He rushed over, their expressions were very nervous. Both of them were out of breath. As soon as they entered the door, Pei Ran panted and asked: "Teacher, what's the matter?" Already??"

"Uh..." Hui Xiao subconsciously wanted to say "it's okay", but after thinking about it, he realized that it wasn't okay, so he paused for a few seconds before saying: "I have something to tell you, it's very important, both of you Prepare yourself mentally."

"Is it a good preparation... or a bad preparation?" Xiao He asked in a low voice.

Hui Xiaoyou thought that this child was really sensitive, so he couldn't lie to them, so he smiled helplessly, "It's definitely not a bad thing, but it might not be a good thing for you at the moment."

Xiao He and Pei Ran glanced at each other, both of them seemed to be preoccupied, and they both looked at Yan Xiaoyou, "Tell me."

"Yeah." Hui Xiaoyou took a deep breath, let his emotions brew for a while, and then said slowly, "I'm resigning."

"What?!" Pei Ran took a step forward, Xiao He also stared at Hui Xiaoyou in shock.

Hui Xiaoyou had already guessed that they would have this kind of reaction, so he went around the table and walked to them, took one of them with each hand, patted him twice and said, "I resigned, because of some irresistible factors, I can't Continue with you."

"Why??" Pei Ran still looked unacceptable.

But Xiao He suddenly asked at this time: "Teacher, is it related to the student who cheated last time?"

Hui Yue was stunned for a moment, then looked at him, "Why do you ask that?"

"It feels..." Xiao He lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a soft voice: "And last time we met Dean Chen, he seemed to be asking us about the grades..."

Pei Ran was a little surprised: "When did this happen? Didn't he ask us about the work of our teaching assistants last time I met him?"

"..." Xiao He glanced at him helplessly, and sighed, "You are too careless...I felt something was wrong last time, but I didn't expect..."

When Hui Xiaoyou heard this, he understood that Chen Mingjie should have talked to Xiao He and Pei Ran first, and then went to him after finding that it was not easy to do so.

"Teacher, is it really because of this reason?" Pei Ran seemed to be angry, "Isn't that unreasonable! I'll go find—"

"It's no use looking for anyone." Hui Xiaoyou interrupted him, and said with a faint smile: "It's already a deal, so don't worry about it. Pei Ran, Xiao He, listen carefully, don't care about this matter." The cause and effect have nothing to do with the two of you, and you must not get involved."

Pei Ran: "Teacher—"

"Listen to me." Hui Xiaoyou raised his hand to stop him, and continued: "I know you may be very angry now, but I have to say that this kind of anger is meaningless. Don't blame me for speaking badly. When you have enough strength, any uncontrolled anger and resentment will only end up in a more embarrassing situation for yourself, so don't take any stupid ideas."

"But teacher..." Pei Ran's eyes turned red when he heard this, he lowered his head and asked in a suppressed voice: "Are you going to leave like this...Should we watch you leave like this..."

Hui Xiaoyou looked at him like this, and then heard him say this, tears were almost drawn down.

He had to suppress the soreness of his nose, patted Pei Ran on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't make it seem like we'll never see each other again. We're still friends if we can't be teachers and students. We can eat together, go out to play together, anyway, we are all in the same city, so it is very convenient to get in touch."

Pei Ran pursed his lips and did not speak, Xiao He also lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing this, Hui Xiaoyou had no choice but to shrug his shoulders pretending to be relaxed and said, "Actually, you should be happy. Maybe you won't be as Spartan as I am if you change your mentor. And I've already asked the one in charge to replace me." The level of this professor is even higher than mine, and if you follow him and study hard, you will definitely learn a lot."

"We didn't think you were Sparta..." Xiao He suddenly whispered.

Hui Xiaoyou was quite moved in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to show it in front of them, so he could only cover it up with an exaggerated smile, and couldn't help but exhort: "I can understand that you don't want me, and I don't want you too... But the facts have already passed. This is the case, we all have to learn to accept it. You two must continue to work hard with the new professor in the future, and you must not relax. It would be best if the new professor has a style similar to mine, but if the style is different, you have to work hard to adapt , in short, don’t let changes in the outside world affect you. You must be clear about what you should learn, what you should accomplish, and what you want to get.”

Xiao He nodded after listening, and replied softly: "I remember."

"What about you, Pei Ran?" Hui Xiaoyou asked another question, but Pei Ran still gritted his teeth tightly and refused to speak.

Hui Xiaoyou could see that he was desperately trying not to let himself cry, and felt very uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but squeeze his shoulder and said, "Don't be like this, man, can you not bear this little thing? "

However, when Hui Xiaoyou said the last few words, his voice became hoarse.

As for his dumbness, both Pei Ran and Xiao He couldn't suppress it immediately.

"Teacher..." Xiao He cried first, with tears streaming down his face, "I can't bear you... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have..."

"It's okay, don't bring up the past again." Hui Xiaoyou stepped forward to hug him with a choked head, and after letting go, he turned around and hugged Pei Ran, but Pei Ran suddenly hugged him even harder.

"Teacher... I really feel lucky to have the opportunity to be your student."

Pei Ran's body was trembling slightly, Hui Xiaoyou couldn't help but took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling, blinked, then lowered his head and smiled and patted him lightly: "I know. Me too."

I also feel very lucky to have you as my students.

There will be a period later.
