Leaving school, Qin Ningyi comforted An An, "An An, we really don't agree with this teacher's educational philosophy. Don't worry, Dad will handle this matter."
After speaking, Qin Ningyi looked at Huo Rou and said softly, "Don't be angry, I'll handle it."
"Your father is quite influential in the schools in Yuchang City," Huo Rou said nonchalantly. "Your family probably has absolute authority only in Taichuan City, right?"
"Hmm? What do you know?" Qin Ningyi's sensitive ears caught the place name Taichuan City. His family indeed didn't have as much power in Yuchang City, but not many people knew about his family's influence in Taichuan City.
Huo Rou didn't answer him, looking down gently at An An, who was smiling happily. "Don't even think about not going to school. You wanted to stay in Yuchang City, and I'll find you a place to study. You'd better study hard for me."
An An stuck out his tongue. He wasn't happy just because he didn't have to study. He saw Qin Ningyi's arm around Huo Rou when they were leaving the school and felt very happy.
Qin Ningyi knew some things couldn't be rushed, so he didn't press Huo Rou further.
The family got into the car, and Huo Rou picked up her phone and started operating it quickly. She opened an ancient-style interface and began sending messages.
Chi You: @Bi Fang. Does your family have schools in Yuchang City?
Qiong Qi: Yo. Recovered? Pretty fast.
Keyboard: Boss, are you going to teach?
Chi You: Thanks to you, I've recovered.
Qiong Qi: Hahaha, you're welcome. It's my honor to serve you.
Keyboard: Boss, I have a question. Can you take a look for me?
Huo Rou clicked on the image to enlarge it. She scanned the page full of characters at lightning speed and replied in the group: "Line 26, changing to another function can achieve your needs."
Keyboard: Oh! You're amazing, Boss.
Panda: Just kidding, this is my master! Master, why have you been missing for so long? I missed you so much. I worked so hard to get here, and you've only been with me for a few days. You're too unrighteous.
Chi You: Where is Bi Fang?
Panda: Master, why aren't you talking to me? If you're going to be a teacher, you can find me too. I'll offer you the highest salary. Teach me coding, okay? Bi Fang's little business is uninteresting.
Bi Fang: Little?
Panda: Brother, I was just kidding. Don't take it so seriously. Master, look, isn't this here now?
Chi You: Not bad.
Bi Fang: ...
Panda: Ah, Master, you finally saw me. Hahaha, am I quite valuable? Are you in Yuchang City? I'll come find you! I'll buy a ticket.
Bi Fang: You have schools, how did you know?
Chi You: I checked.
Bi Fang: Normal ones?
Chi You: Not exactly. My son needs to go to school. Do you accept him?
Bi Fang: Yes. I'll tell the old man. When are you bringing him?
Panda: What? Master has a son? When did that happen? Master, how could you do this? You didn't even say anything about getting married. I would have given you a wedding gift.
Bi Fang: Boss, can you add me?
Qiong Qi: Can't you add me yourself? Why are you asking my little darling to add you?
Bi Fang: His private chat on this software is turned off, and I can't find him in any unconventional way...
Panda: Trash.
Bi Fang: You don't need to come to Yuchang City. You won't be able to come for the next month.
Panda: You old dog! Are you blacking out the airline system?!
Huo Rou exited the interface. It wasn't that she didn't look at the messages; they were indeed too noisy.
An An leaned over to see what Huo Rou was doing. He saw her pull up an interface and click a few times, bringing up a WeChat account belonging to someone named Ren Zhen.
An An's sharp eyes noticed that the gender was "male." He glanced at Qin Ningyi, who was concentrating on driving, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Mom, what are you doing?" An An whispered in Huo Rou's ear.
"Finding a school for you," Huo Rou said after adding Ren Zhen on WeChat and sent a message: Chi You.
"Chi You? Mom, is that like the one from ancient times?" An An had heard stories of the Yellow Emperor, Emperor Yan, and Chi You, so he asked curiously.
Huo Rou nodded and said, "Yes. Our An An has a good memory."
"Of course! I'm Mom's son! I'm definitely very smart!" An An's tail was almost wagging when Huo Rou praised him.
"Then Mom will take you to a school with many smart people," Huo Rou ruffled An An's hair. An An was very happy to hear there would be many smart people and nodded enthusiastically, forgetting his nervousness about the male friend Huo Rou had just added.
In the chat window, the other party had already sent several messages.
Ren: I'm impressed.
Ren: Ar Rou. Boss, why is your nickname so feminine?
Ren: When are you coming? How old is your son?
Huo Rou then looked at her nickname. It seemed Xia Qingxue had changed it for her. Feminine? Not really...
Ar Rou: This Saturday. My son is five years old.
Ren: Boss, you should know that my family accepts students from elementary school, right?
Ar Rou: I know. Perfect.
Ren: Right, Boss's son must also be a smart little freak. Come to Jinjiang Villa in Chengnan on Saturday. I'll have the old man meet him too.
Ar Rou: An assessment?
Ren: I'm introducing you, so no assessment is needed. Just bring your son. Speaking of which, we haven't met yet. Is this an online meet-up?
Ar Rou: Then, see you on Saturday morning. Thanks!
Huo Rou turned off her phone screen and looked at the community gate by the window, exhaling a breath.
Qin Ningyi heard her and thought she was nervous, so he calmly said, "Don't worry, I'm here for everything."
Huo Rou gave him a strange look. Worry about what?
Qin Ningyi had heard her conversation with An An. She had been looking at her phone the whole time, presumably finding a school for An An. He didn't want Huo Rou to feel too much pressure; he could handle these things.
Huo Rou didn't let Qin Ningyi take them upstairs. She took An An into the building herself.
After watching them leave, Qin Ningyi called Xiao Konglin, "Arrange for me to meet Ren Xiangtian."
"Yes, Mr. Qin. Coincidentally, their company is interested in one of our projects and is currently in contact. When should we meet?"
"As soon as possible. It's about An An's schooling."
"Then I'll see if I can arrange it for today. Mr. Qin, are you returning to the company today?" Xiao Konglin felt like work was piling up like a mountain without Qin Ningyi.
"On my way," Qin Ningyi hung up the phone and drove away from Meicheng Yunfu.
In the evening, in a unique private room, with exquisite food, Qin Ningyi and Ren Xiangtian talked for a long time. Eventually, a cooperation was reached, and An An's admission to school was also agreed upon.
"Young Qin, although we've gained more from this cooperation, if your son is five years old, we'll still need to conduct an assessment. If he doesn't meet the admission standards, it won't be good for him to fall behind in school."
"No problem," Qin Ningyi nodded, confident in An An's intelligence.
"Then, Saturday?" Ren Xiangtian admired Qin Ningyi, but he didn't want to agree casually. His son had already made a decision earlier that day without his full consent.
"All right, then I'll visit you in Chengnan on Saturday."
