Although the maid spoke in Korean, Zhenxiu could still understand it. After all, her mother had been with her for many years.
However, speaking Korean was difficult for Zhenxiu. After returning to Korea, the family hired a private tutor to teach Zhenxiu Korean and English.
As the future successor of Starmoon Group, it was necessary for her to master English. Moreover, Zhenxiu was still young and had a certain foundation. It wouldn't be difficult for her to learn.
That was not all. In order to let Zhenxiu take over the management of the group as soon as possible, the family specially arranged for the backbone of the various departments to teach management and finance in shifts. After the lessons were finished, the private tutor would be responsible for supervising the homework.
For Zhenxiu, who had never come into contact with these fields since she was young, it was extremely painful.
"Sister Eunjung, I'm so sleepy. Let me sleep for a while more," Zhenxiu said lazily through her nasal voice. She lay on the bed without moving.
Maid Eunjung smiled and said, "Miss Zhenxiu, Teacher Vivian said that she hasn't finished yesterday's homework. If she doesn't finish the task today, she'll tell the president.
Miss Zhenxiu, you know that the president's health has improved a lot because of your return. He can get out of bed and walk a few steps. The doctor said that the cancer cells are under control and it has a lot to do with his good mood.
If he finds out that Miss Zhenxiu suddenly refused to work hard and refused to do her homework, which made the president sad, he might not say anything to you since he dotes on you so much, but he might be bedridden again … "
Hearing this, Zhenxiu felt her scalp go numb. She sat up, brushed her bangs away and blew on it. Her eyes rolled back.
"Alright … Sister Eunjung, no wonder I heard others say that you're the 'smiling killer' that even the head butler is afraid of. Instead of saying such troublesome things to me with a smile, you might as well lift my quilt!"
"I'm just a servant. How can I lift my master's blanket? Miss Zhenxiu, please wake up. You know Teacher Vivian's personality. She can be casual about other things, but she's very serious when it comes to studying …" En Jing said with a smile.
Zhenxiu's expression was a little unnatural. She felt a headache when she heard Vivian's name.
Speaking of which, when he returned to Korea that day, he immediately saw his grandfather, whom he had hated since he was young.
However, blood was thicker than water. Many things had faded after so many years. What was more important was the kinship of blood after seeing a family member.
Thinking about it, who wouldn't want their daughter to marry into a good family? Who would want their daughter to ignore their father-daughter relationship and run away with a foreign man?
Moreover, Park Cheon was an influential entrepreneur in Asia, yet his most beloved eldest daughter had betrayed him. It was no wonder he was fuming.
After figuring this out, Zhenxiu's heart ached when she saw her grandfather, who was already in his twilight years. She just wanted him to pass away peacefully in his last days.
Therefore, Park Cheon specially invited a young female teacher, Vivian, who was proficient in Mandarin, English, and Korean and had a master's degree in education and finance in the United States, to be Zhenxiu's personal tutor.
The female teacher recommended by the American professors, Vivian, was indeed outstanding, especially her rigorous and humble attitude, which made Park Cheon feel at ease in allowing Zhenxiu to learn from her.
More importantly, Vivian was a native of Hua Xia. Growing up in Hua Xia, she could easily get along with Zhenxiu who also grew up in Hua Xia.
Initially, Zhenxiu liked Vivian very much. However, when the classes started, Zhenxiu painfully realized that English, Korean, and management courses were a headache to learn. Vivian was an extremely serious and merciless teacher. As a result, every time Zhenxiu saw Vivian, she would feel pressured.
Park Cheon specifically told Vivian to let him know if she had any needs. This was equivalent to giving her an "imperial sword". Thus, the entire family respected Vivian.
In order not to upset the old man, Zhenxiu got up weakly and put on a pink round-collared dress that Eunjung had prepared for her. The Korean style of dressing made Zhenxiu look like a pretty girl from a humble family, adding a tinge of cuteness.
After washing up, Zhenxiu took a deep breath and went downstairs with Eunjeong.
As the main house of the main house, the entire mansion was occupied by President Park Cheon while his second son and three daughters had their own residences. Now, as the eldest granddaughter, Zhenxiu had moved in as well.
At this moment, at the dining table downstairs, there was a young woman in a black suit jacket, straight white trousers, and a ponytail. She had an elegant and intellectual temperament, but did not lose any of her freshness. She was drinking coffee while reading the morning newspaper.
Hearing the sound of the stairs, the woman raised her head. A gentle smile appeared on her gentle and delicate face.
"Zhenxiu, you slept late again. You have to make up for it tonight," Vivian said in standard Korean.
Zhenxiu was about to say something in Mandarin when Vivian glared at her. She swallowed her words and sat down while stammering in Korean, "Teacher Vivian, can we study a little slower? I'm so sleepy every day."
"You're not sleepy, you're just trying to slack off." Vivian closed the newspaper and smiled. "Hurry up and eat breakfast. After that, we'll review yesterday's English and then look at your management homework."
Zhenxiu had just taken a sip of the soup and almost spat it out. She subconsciously wanted to wipe her mouth with her hand.
"Don't wipe! Get a tissue! " Vivian immediately glared at Zhenxiu. "Why is your mouth leaking? You'll be attending many big events in the future. People will look down on your etiquette."
Eunjung saw Zhenxiu scrambling to find a tissue and smiled helplessly. She took the tissue from another servant and handed it to her.
After wiping her mouth, Zhenxiu looked at Vivian with a pitiful face and said in Mandarin, "Teacher, we all grew up with Hua Xia. Why are you so mean? I don't think you're much older than me. If you keep acting like a strict teacher, you'll age prematurely …"
Vivian couldn't help but laugh. "I'm not mean. I'm just guiding you. If I let my guard down now, I'll embarrass the entire Park family in the future. President Park Cheon and my teacher both think so highly of me. How can I let them down? As for whether I'll age prematurely, you don't have to worry about me. "
Zhenxiu muttered to herself, "You look like an angel but act like a devil …"
"Xu Zhenxiu." Vivian frowned. "I can hear you. How many times have I told you not to speak Mandarin. You have to master Korean as soon as possible …"
"Alright, alright." Zhenxiu bowed her head and drank a few mouthfuls of soup. She then took a few bites of toast and saw that Vivian was reading the newspaper seriously again. She asked curiously, "Teacher Vivian, how long did you stay in the United States?"
"Hmm … About a year." Vivian answered nonchalantly.
"A year? That's amazing. You learned English so well in just a year. You even have a double master's degree?! "Zhenxiu's eyes were filled with envy. She had spent a lot of effort to get into one of the top universities in the country.
Vivian shook her head. "I did some postgraduate courses in China, and I was sent there by the government as an exchange student. Besides, I majored in English in China and minored in Korean in university. When I went to the United States, I had a Korean postgraduate student with me, so I just happened to have everything. Besides, I had nothing better to do in the United States. I studied all day long. Even if I didn't want to, I would still be able to do well. "
"That's still amazing. Otherwise, my grandfather wouldn't have asked you to teach me." Zhenxiu giggled.
Vivian glanced at her and smiled. "Keep sucking up to me. You can't be lazy even if you're sucking up to me!"
Zhenxiu's face turned bitter. She didn't expect Vivian to see through her so quickly.
"Teacher, to be honest," Zhenxiu thought of an idea and said seriously, "I feel that since you're so pretty, why do you want to be a teacher? Wouldn't it be great if you could find a young and rich man to marry? It's such a waste of your precious youth to be my tutor. A beauty like you would definitely have a group of men chasing after you when you were in Hua Xia, right? "
Vivian smiled faintly. "Xu Zhenxiu, don't waste your time. You might as well memorize words instead of trying to bewitch me. I'll tell you the truth. Teaching you is not only my job, but it's also the assignment given to me by my PhD supervisor. I still have to go back to the United States to study for my PhD after teaching you. Don't drag me down! "
"You still want to study for your PhD?!" Zhenxiu shook her head. "Teacher Vivian! Please don't! I've heard many people say that no man wants a female PhD! You're so pretty. If you study for your PhD, it'll be hard for you to start a family. What a pity! "
"Alright." Vivian was speechless. She reached out and tapped Zhenxiu's forehead. "What are you thinking in that little head of yours? Who said I'm going to find a man? I won't get married. I'm going to study for my PhD. Is that illegal?"
Zhenxiu pouted. "Don't tap my head. I'm a university student. I'm not a little girl."
"I'm your teacher. You're just a kid in my eyes." Vivian said matter-of-factly.
Zhenxiu made a face and mumbled a few times. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Teacher … you really won't get married? Won't find a boyfriend? "
"Yes! I won't find a boyfriend. I won't get married! "Vivian repeated.
