When Chen Xing entered the private room, there were already three people sitting there. Except for one who looked older, the other two looked about his age. The three of them were sitting together and chatting. When they saw Chen Xing come in, they were stunned at first, but then they nodded at Chen Xing.
Soon, Chen Xing introduced himself to the three of them. They were all Liu Guoding's students, so it was easy for them to get familiar with each other.
Chen Xing was a man of few words. Most of the time, he sat at the side and listened attentively. After observing for a while, Chen Xing could tell that the two young men who were around his age seemed to be subconsciously flattering the slightly older man. There were many compliments in their words, but it didn't seem to be outright flattery.
The older man was called Fan Guoxian. He looked to be in his forties and looked quite calm. At least, Chen Xing only saw the two young people flattering Fan Guoxian. Fan Guoxian only nodded and smiled reservedly, without any complacency. When the two young people talked about financial policies, Fan Guoxian would interrupt them from time to time.
Chen Xing, the country's economic development has been in a downward channel for the past two years. What do you think? While talking to the two young people, Fan Guoxian suddenly looked at Chen Xing and asked.
Brother Fan, you're asking the wrong person. Our teacher is the authority on the economy. It's more appropriate for Brother Fan to ask our teacher when he comes. Chen Xing smiled.
I didn't know you were a man of few words. Fan Guoxian glanced at Chen Xing and smiled.
While they were talking, Liu Guoding entered the private room accompanied by his family. Liu Guoding was his granddaughter. Liu Guoding was already old, and his family was worried about letting him come out alone. Even though he was accompanied by a student, the younger generation of his family still felt that it was better to send someone to follow him so that they could be at ease.
Xu Qingxuan and Jiang Wenming also came in with them. Another woman came in with them. She looked less than thirty years old, wore a pair of glasses, and looked very quiet.
Qingxuan, since everyone is here, let's ask the hotel to serve the dishes. It's rare for me to treat everyone to dinner, so I can't let you starve. Liu Guoding said with a smile. His smile was especially kind.
Hearing Liu Guoding's words, Chen Xing glanced at the people present and realized that Liu Guoding had only invited these few people for dinner.
The table was big enough for 12 people. Even after everyone had sat down, it was still very spacious. Liu Guoding let everyone get to know each other. Chen Xing looked at the last woman. After introducing each other, he found out that she was called Jiang Hanhan. As for the other two men who were about the same age as him, they were called Li Jianqi and Yang Feng respectively. Because they had just met, there was no need to introduce them again.
As for Liu Guoding's little granddaughter, her name was Liu Mu. She was Guoding's granddaughter.
At the start of the banquet, Liu Guoding did not say any special opening remarks. He asked everyone to make themselves at home. It was just an ordinary banquet.
After chatting for a while, Chen Xing roughly understood why Liu Guoding invited them to dinner. As Liu Guoding said, it was just an ordinary dinner. He didn't specially invite anyone because everyone present was in Jing City and happened to have time to come.
Liu Guoding was usually a man of few words, but since everyone present was his student, Liu Guoding appeared to be quite talkative.
Qingxuan, Wenming, you two should go out and find a job. The people here are all your seniors. You should learn more from them. Liu Guoding looked at Xu Qingxuan and Jiang Wenming.
Xu Qingxuan and Jiang Wenming exchanged glances. They understood each other's intentions and stood up. Qingxuan and I toasted our seniors.
Ahem, teacher, speaking of which, I'm Qingxuan and Wenming's junior. Chen Xing interrupted with a smile.
I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Liu Guoding patted his forehead and smiled. This person is old, and his memory is not as good as before. If we count the time we entered the school, you are indeed Qingxuan and Wenming's junior.
As Liu Guoding spoke, he sighed. 'You guys are the last batch of students I'll accept. From now on, I won't accept any more students. My health is deteriorating year by year. After teaching you guys, this old man will truly retire.'
Teacher, you are still healthy. You will definitely live to a hundred years old in the future.
Guoxian, when did you learn to say such polite words? How many people can live to a hundred years old? Liu Guoding looked at Fan Guoxian, who was speaking, and shook his head with a smile. He looked at the people present. In this life, it doesn't matter how long one lives, but whether one lives a wonderful life, whether one has contributed to society, and whether one has become a useful person to society. This old man has been a scholar all my life. I dare not say how much I have contributed to the country, but at least I have done it with a clear conscience. You are all my students, and I don't have high expectations of you. Do things honestly and be a clean person. As long as you do these two things, even if you are useless in the eyes of others, you are worthy of my pride in the eyes of your teacher.
Liu Guoding's words caused everyone present to fall silent. As Liu Guoding's students, they more or less had a special halo around them. The reason for this was none other than the fact that some of Liu Guoding's students were simply too outstanding. One of them was even one of the top few core figures in the world. Apart from that, there was also a national-level official and several minister-level officials. Therefore, by becoming Liu Guoding's students, they had indirectly formed a senior-junior relationship with those few people. Although this relationship might not necessarily be of any use, for people in politics, such relationships could sometimes play an unexpected role. When Chen Xing heard Liu Guoding's request for them, he gained a new understanding of it.
"Qingxuan, Wenming, why don't you propose a toast to your seniors?" Liu Guoding said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xu Qingxuan and Jiang Wenming came to their senses and hurriedly raised their glasses to toast everyone present. Liu Guoding said with a smile, "It's not entirely true to say that today's meal has no other purpose. Qingxuan, Wenming, and Chen Xing are the last batch of students I've taught. Chen Xing, you've already started working, so let's not talk about it. Qingxuan and Wenming are now looking for jobs. You seniors should help these two juniors as much as you can. Of course, I'm not saying this to ask you to go through the back door. If you really do that, I'll be the first to get angry. I hope that all of you can help each other and support each other as long as it doesn't violate your principles and conscience. I hope that my students can help each other and love each other. This is also my consistent requirement for my students.
Teacher's words are pleasing to the ears. I also want to express my stance. As long as it doesn't violate the rules and principles, Qingxuan and Wenming can come to me if you need any help. " Fan Guoxian said with a smile. As he spoke, he gave Chen Xing a meaningful look.
