Su Xiaotian didn't know what she should do in the future, which was actually because the content she was learning was too diverse.
She never imagined that Director Li would automatically assume she was too young.
However, even if she knew, Su Xiaotian would have agreed.
The existence of youth classes wasn't necessarily a good thing for those talented children who were too young.
Strictly speaking, youth classes were a form of forcing growth.
Prodigies had always been a topic of popular discussion since ancient times, and indeed, many children were born with superhuman intelligence.
For such children, advanced training was not objectionable.
But generally speaking, children who were intellectually advanced did not necessarily mean they were advanced in other aspects as well.
A prodigy, in the final analysis, was still just a child.
Allowing a child to enter university early was equivalent to letting a child enter a small society prematurely.
This was something that no matter how excellent or intelligent a child was, they couldn't accurately comprehend at this age.
Such children, facing the pressure of interpersonal relationships, were very likely to develop psychological problems in the end.
Naturally, Su Xiaotian had thought about this issue herself, but she had not discussed it with anyone.
With Chef Li Linlin, dinner was very sumptuous.
It just so happened that the restaurant was closed that evening, so there was enough meat, vegetables, and other ingredients.
Although dinner was sumptuous, the atmosphere was not good. Even the most carefree Teacher Yu seemed confused and annoyed by this matter.
Dinner was eaten in a somber atmosphere. Wang Chengyong was the first to suggest leaving.
Su Laosan asked, "Comrade Wang, we haven't asked where you work yet. You acted bravely today, and we want to write a letter of thanks!"
Wang Chengyong touched his forehead and said, "I was a sent-down youth before. After returning to the city, I couldn't find any decent work, so now I'm just setting up a stall to get by."
Su Laosan was stunned, but since that was the case, writing a letter of thanks seemed meaningless.
"Comrade Wang, if you ever need anything, just come to us. If we can help, our Su family will not hesitate!"
Although he already knew that Wang Chengyong hadn't been of much help, the thought was commendable.
Having the willingness to help was much better than not having it.
"I'm alone and don't have anyone to worry about. Life is not bad now!"
Wang Chengyong was truly a simple person, and one could feel it when he spoke.
"Uncle Wang, from now on, you'll get a 30% discount when you eat at Yiming Pavilion!" Su Xiaotian said with a smile.
She could tell that Wang Chengyong's financial situation was not very good.
Indeed, upon hearing this, Wang Chengyong's eyes sparkled.
"That's really great. I like your family's food, but my income is low, so I can't afford it often. It would be good if I could come once or twice a month."
A 30% discount would save him a lot of money. It seemed he hadn't taken the beating in vain today!
Seeing Wang Chengyong's cheerful demeanor, Su Xiaotian asked, "Have you thought about changing your job?"
Even if the stall business wasn't great, it shouldn't be that bad. If Wang Chengyong was living a difficult life, it could only mean that this person might not be very suitable for business.
"I've thought about it, but I'm clumsy. I've tried several jobs, but none of them worked out!" Wang Chengyong was indeed an honest person. When he said this, although he was a little embarrassed, it was only fleeting.
"We have a farm in the suburbs where we raise pigs and chickens. If you don't mind, you can try it!" Su Xiaotian asked.
This was a test, after all, many people disliked farm work because it was dirty and tiring.
However, to her surprise, Wang Chengyong agreed immediately.
"If you are willing to give me a chance, I will go!"
Wang Chengyong didn't even ask about the monthly salary.
Su Xiaotian chuckled and asked, "Uncle Wang, shouldn't you ask how much the monthly salary is?"
Wang Chengyong honestly replied, "I set up a small stall. Sometimes, when there are few customers, I don't even earn a dollar a day. When there are many customers, I also lose goods and don't earn much."
"It's sixty yuan a month, but you'll need to live and eat at the farm. If that's acceptable, come back here tomorrow." Su Xiaotian said directly.
Wang Chengyong was overjoyed to hear this. Sixty yuan a month was quite a lot.
Living and eating at the farm would save him another expense.
"Okay, I'll come tomorrow!" Wang Chengyong left happily.
After Wang Chengyong left, Su Laosan asked, "Xiaotian, why didn't you inquire about this person's character first?"
The farm was their family's foundation. What if they hired someone with bad character and caused trouble?
After today's incident, Su Laosan truly didn't trust others anymore.
"I think this young man named Wang Chengyong is fine. In the situation today, he still came back to help, which shows his character." Chi Ge said.
As for being unable to defeat the thugs and only being able to take a beating, Chi Ge felt it wasn't the main point.
The main point was that this young man had the intention.
Hearing Chi Ge say this, Su Laosan also nodded.
If they hired someone whose character was bad or who was lazy and gluttonous, they could dismiss them later.
Then, Director Li and Teacher Yu left together.
Finally, the remaining people went out together. As they left, Su Shouwen said, "The matter of finding people needs to be put on the agenda. After this incident, we must learn from it. It's best to have someone on guard at night."
This time, they were lucky it happened during the day. If someone had done something malicious to the restaurant at night, their family would have truly been ruined.
"Shouwen is right. It's best to have someone on guard at the restaurant at night." Du Tonghe strongly agreed.
One should not have the intention to harm others, but one should always be on guard against them.
The Su family's children saw the elders home. When parting, Chi Ge said to Grandpa Su, "I'll come to chat with you tomorrow."
Now that all three families lived nearby, it was very easy to visit.
Grandpa Su smiled and said, "Okay, we can chat together. I never thought that after working hard for most of my life, I would have time to be idle."
Du Tonghe smiled and said, "Then I'll come too. Let the three of us old brothers have a good chat."
The night passed without incident. The next morning, before Yiming Pavilion even opened, the news of Mingge Restaurant being vandalized had already spread throughout the neighborhood.
Many people were even peeking around the entrance of Yiming Pavilion, just to see if Yiming Pavilion would open today.
The commotion yesterday was quite significant.
Many people had seen it at the time.
After a night, the news spread like wildfire to every corner of the vicinity.
Hearing that a restaurant had been smashed by thugs in broad daylight was indeed shocking.
This was a new society now, not the old one, yet thugs could be so rampant.
Suddenly, everyone felt a sense of insecurity.
