"Hey! This is getting more and more ridiculous! " Brother Huang couldn't take it anymore and pointed a finger at Brother Duan. "Losing parents is a lifetime of pain for others, but you've turned it into a good thing! No troublesome mothers-in-law? What are you trying to do? Are you even human?! "
Brother Duan shrunk his neck, realizing he'd gone too far. He quickly pulled Brother Huang to bow and beg, "Brother Huang, Brother Huang, I was just saying, I didn't mean to laugh at you. I didn't treat you like an outsider, so please forgive me this time. I was just being sarcastic, I didn't mean to laugh at her! "
"Hmph! Luckily I was the only one who heard. How sad would Nianzhi be if she heard? Even if you really liked her, she'd never talk to you for the rest of her life if you said that. You still want to marry her? No way! "Brother Huang was very close to her and couldn't bear to see people talking about her like that.
Brother Duan was extremely embarrassed and smiled apologetically, "Fine, fine, I was just joking. Now that you've said that, I definitely won't go after her. "He sighed," I brought this upon myself. Of all things, I had to call her Little Sister! This is a sign! Little Sister has never belonged to me … "
Brother Huang didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Brother Duan's teasing.
If he hadn't known Duan Chun for so many years, he would've really fallen out with him.
"Fine, I know you like to talk nonsense." Brother Huang patted his back, "How many times have I told you, you're a lawyer, how can you say things like that? Restrain yourself … "
Duan Chun had always admired Senior Brother Huang's character, and this time, he was even more convinced by his teachings.
"Brother Huang, I understand, I won't do it again." He cupped his hands at Brother Huang, "It was my fault today, I'll treat everyone to a meal at Jiulou Fengyue, what do you think?"
Brother Huang rubbed his chin and chuckled, "Jiulou Fengyue? The restaurant at Scion Square, right? I heard it's the most expensive place in town? "
"I don't know if it's the most expensive, but it's the most classy." Senior Brother Duan was thick-skinned. After a while, he quickly recovered. "It's best to treat Professor He and my juniors to a meal."
"The most stylish?" Senior Brother Huang looked at him suspiciously. "Is it the Jiulou Fengyue that I know of?"
"Haha, there's only one Jiu Lou Feng Yue in Scion Square. It must be her." When Senior Brother Duan heard the elevator, he walked in with Senior Brother Huang. He smiled and said, "Actually, it's just a restaurant for acting cool."
"Forget it. It's fine as long as the food is delicious. You're the only one with so many tricks up your sleeves." Senior Brother Huang scolded with a smile and didn't mention the matter again.
…
Not long after Brother Huang and Brother Duan left, the door to He Zhichu's suite opened again. Brother Wei and Gui Suyao also walked out.
"Xiao Gui, what's your mailbox? I'll send you the book list when I get back. "Senior Martial Brother Wei pressed the down button.
Gui Suyao's mind was still on He Zhichu. She snapped out of her daze and asked, "Brother Wei, do you usually have a lot of classes with Professor He?"
"We don't really have classes. He's the one who assigns the homework. We just finish it and hand it in." As they spoke, the elevator arrived. Brother Wei walked in first and reached out to block the elevator door. He waited for Gui Suyao to come in and said, "You're new here this year. You can ask me if you have any questions."
Gui Suyao was slightly disappointed, but she still replied with an "Oh" and asked in a roundabout way, "Did Professor He ever mention if I wanted to study at Harvard Law School? Would he agree?"
"I really don't know about that. You'll have to ask Professor He yourself." Brother Wei was a little surprised. "Xiao Gui, you want to go to Harvard?"
"Who wouldn't?" Gui Suyao smoothed her hair and smiled politely. "Of course. Now that I've met Professor He, why would I go to Harvard?"
"Of course. Even if you go to Harvard, you'll still be Professor He's student. "Brother Wei nodded." And you'll also have to leave your hometown. It's really not worth it. "
Gui Suyao only smiled and didn't say anything else.
The two of them sat in the elevator in silence for a while until the elevator dinged to the first floor. When they stepped out of the elevator, Gui Suyao casually asked, "Senior Wei, do you know why Professor He suddenly wants to recruit master's students? I heard in the faculty that Professor He's mentored PhD students were invited over and over again by the university, and that he would only be mentoring five PhD students. In the end, he only recruited three PhD students. I only transferred this year, and Gu Nianzhi can be considered the first student Professor He personally recruited. "
Whether it was Brother Huang, Brother Duan, or Brother Wei, all of them actually had mentors before. They were only transferred to He Zhichu after He Zhichu agreed to teach at B University's Faculty of Law.
Of course, it wasn't easy to transfer. They had to go through a difficult selection test before the three were finally selected.
Brother Wei shook his head. "I'm not sure about that. But — "He glanced at Gui Suyao." You didn't take the test and directly transferred from another professor to Professor He. You're quite capable … "
Gui Suyao had no intention of hiding it from Brother Wei. She said honestly, "My relatives helped me. My uncle's family knows a lot of people and is well-connected. Professor He is doing my uncle a favor. "
"Your uncle?" Brother Wei looked at her in surprise. "That's not bad."
To be able to find someone to have a direct relationship with Professor He, this person must have a lot of power.
Gui Suyao smiled. "My uncle's surname is Dou."
"Dou?" Brother Wei frowned and thought for a while. The first person he thought of was Prime Minister Dou.
But if Gui Suyao's uncle was Prime Minister Dou, then he really wasn't an ordinary person.
Did she have to be an insignificant university counselor?
"It's not the Dou I think it is, is it?" Brother Wei asked tentatively. "Then I must have been blind."
"Brother Wei, you're exaggerating. My uncle was originally an ordinary person. He only became the Prime Minister because he was good at his studies." Gui Suyao said casually, "We didn't have much contact after he became the Prime Minister, but I asked him for help for the first time in order to become Professor He's student. That's why I never told anyone."
"It really is Prime Minister Dou!" Brother Wei gasped. "Little Gui, it's rare for you to be so approachable."
"You flatter me, Brother Wei." Gui Suyao couldn't help turning around to look at the 28th floor as she spoke.
That was He Zhichu's room. The lights were still on.
The furnishings were simple and understated, but Gui Suyao was a knowledgeable person. She knew that the simpler the furniture, the more expensive it was.
Professor He's wealth was indeed extraordinary.
…
Meanwhile, in He Zhichu's room, Gu Nianzhi had already stood up. She shouldered her backpack and was about to leave.
He Zhichu waved at her. "Nianzhi, sit for a while and tell me about your plans."
"My plans?" Gu Nianzhi frowned. "I told Professor He before. But Professor He didn't want to talk about it, so I didn't. "
He Zhichu propped his head on his hand and leaned against the sofa. He wasn't looking at Gu Nianzhi, but somewhere else.
After a while, He Zhichu finally said, "Is it about you wanting to graduate early?"
"Yeah." Gu Nianzhi nodded. "I really wanted to know about it, but Professor He didn't want to talk about it, so I didn't ask."
"It's not that I don't want to talk about it." He Zhichu looked at her. "Sit down and talk."
Gu Nianzhi saw He Zhichu's tone soften. She finally sat down and said very sincerely, "Professor He, I'm really thinking about it. If there's even the slightest possibility, can you tell me? "
He Zhichu looked at her steadily. His gaze was calm, and his shimmering almond-shaped eyes were even more charming under the light. However, his expression was extremely cold.
"Can you tell me why you want to graduate early?" He Zhichu finally asked.
He hadn't stopped thinking about it ever since he heard Gu Nianzhi mention it on the phone.
Gu Nianzhi was shocked by the question. "Why? Why else? As long as I can graduate early, of course I want to! "
"But you're only 18. Even if you study for three years, you'll only be 21 when you graduate. What exactly do you want to do with it? "He Zhichu looked her up and down. He looked away and walked to the kitchen.
Gu Nianzhi stood up as well. "Professor He?"
"I'll go make coffee." He Zhichu didn't turn around.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and followed him in. She kept trying to persuade him. "Professor He, really, I really want to graduate early. Please do me a favor and tell me what I should do so that I can graduate early! "
He Zhichu took the coffee beans and poured them into the coffee machine to grind. He asked her, "Ok, tell me why you want to graduate early. Don't tell me everyone wants it. I don't want to know what other people think. I only want to know what you think. "
Gu Nianzhi wrung her hands in front of her. She was a bit embarrassed for a while. She whispered, "I want to graduate early and work."
"Oh?" He Zhichu had never expected that answer.
His hands were almost trembling. It took him a lot of effort to calm down. Then, he opened the coffee machine program and began to make coffee.
Both hands on the counter, He Zhichu didn't turn around. He asked dryly, "You really want to work? That's easy. You can work at my office while you're still in school. I won't pay you any less than anyone else. "
"Thank you, Professor He." Gu Nianzhi's heart relaxed. She smiled. "But working as a student is different from working formally. I want to work formally, full-time, as soon as possible."
He Zhichu's thin lips pursed. He turned to glance at her. His shimmering, sultry eyes sparkled. He smiled slightly. "Then why do you want to work early?"
Gu Nianzhi didn't expect He Zhichu to be so sharp. His questions went straight to the depths of her heart.
She had never mentioned these thoughts to Huo Shaoheng.
"… Because I want to make money early." Gu Nianzhi answered honestly.
"You want to make money?" He Zhichu's expression immediately darkened. "All you think about is money! Are you short on money? "
"… Yes," Gu Nianzhi whispered. "I don't have parents or family, so I have to rely on myself. I don't want to rely on others for the rest of my life. "
So that was it.
He Zhichu's heart tightened. He used all his strength to control himself.
He slowly turned around and looked at her silently. He sighed deeply. "What about your parents and family?"
