Chapter 123: University Professor Qin Cheng!
"Boss Lin, I trust you, no need to check, thank you."
After taking the paper bag with money from Lin Shimei, Gao Fei bowed his hands to the onlookers and said a few words of thanks. He gave a wink to the bespectacled woman, then turned around, took Wang Xiaozhuang's hand, and squeezed out of the crowd, walking away quickly.
From head to toe, he didn't even greet Shen Yinbing, as if they were complete strangers.
After leading Wang Xiaozhuang out for several hundred meters, Gao Fei turned his head to take a look, and the female knight indeed followed suit.
Gao Fei knew that the biggest 'concern' she had about following him was that he would cheat Wang Xiao Zhuang and embezzle the 50,000 yuan, and didn't have any intention of getting close to him.
After walking a bit further, Gao Fei stopped in front of a coffee shop and patted Wang Xiao Zhuang's head, smiling: "Xiao Zhuang, you're now considered a rich person too. Do you want to invite that aunt who cares about you to have a cup of coffee as a thank you?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Uncle!"
Wang Xiaozhuang nodded obediently and turned to look at the bespectacled woman who had caught up: "Auntie, I'd like to invite you for a cup of coffee, okay?"
The bespectacled woman with a vigilant expression looked at Gao Fei, bent down and touched Wang Xiao Zhuang's shoulder, and said in a gentle voice: "Good."
Gao Fei walked into the coffee shop first.
The woman with glasses took the opportunity to instruct Wang Xiaozhuang: "You're called Little Zhuang, right? Little Zhuang, hurry up and call your family members to come here and pick you up."
Wang Xiao Zhuang was very clever and saw that the glasses woman was worried about her, so he smiled: "Auntie, I will call my dad. Hmm, Auntie, I know you're worried about me, actually I really do know that Uncle Gao. He's a colleague of my dad's."
"Is he your dad's colleague?"
The woman with glasses was stunned, just as she was about to say something else, when Wang Xiao Zhuang pulled her into the coffee shop.
The environment in the cafe was pretty good and there weren't many customers. Gao Fei chose a seat near the window.
After Wang Xiao Zhuang and the others left, he had already ordered three cups of coffee based on their ages.
He ordered for the bespectacled woman Blue Mountain, the most favored coffee among intellectual women.
After Wang Xiao Zhuang and the others sat down in front of him, Gao Fei pushed the paper bag filled with money to her: "Xiao Zhuang, you take it. Hmm, you'd better call your family's adults first and let them come pick you up. And, don't sell flowers around here again in the future, lest you run into that savage woman and end up losing out yourself. But it won't be long before you can come back, because Uncle will open a Western restaurant across from their restaurant and crush them, heh heh."
After hearing Gao Fei say that, the bespectacled woman's face turned red, feeling that she had been narrow-minded and measured others with her own yardstick.
Wang Xiao Zhuang didn't move the money, but instead let out a chuckle and said in a crisp tone: "Uncle, my phone is out of battery, can you help me call my dad?"
"Okay, then you tell me, what's your dad's phone number?"
Wang Xiao Zhuang tilted his chin: "Uncle, did my dad say you know his cell phone number?"
Gao Fei was taken aback: "What? I know your dad has my phone number - who's your dad?"
"My dad used to be a driver for Vice President Yan at the Beishan Group, and later he went to the Logistics Department and became a deputy section chief."
"Ah, I see! Your dad is Old Wang!"
"Has your dad ever mentioned me at home?"
Wang Xiao Zhuang nodded heavily: "Yeah, he's said it many times!"
The bespectacled woman looked at Gao Fei and couldn't help but ask Wang Xiao Zhuang, "Xiao Zhuang, I think you've never met Mr. Gao before, have you? There are many people in the world with this name, how can you be sure he's your dad's colleague?"
Wang Xiao Zhuang looked at Gao Fei's eyes with a strong sense of gratitude: "My dad said that people with this name are many, but very righteous, kind-hearted, and handsome. There is only one such person in the world! When Uncle Gao mentioned his name just now, I knew he must be the one my dad was talking about."
I just casually helped Old Wang with a small favor, but he remembered it deeply and even went home to proclaim my greatness. Alas, I'm truly embarrassed, but Old Wang's insight is really sharp, his ability to see through people is impressive——Gao Fei smiled slightly, feeling a bit shy, took out his phone, found Old Wang's number, and dialed it.
Over the phone, Gao Fei briefly told him what had happened and gave him the name of the coffee shop, telling him to hurry over.
At this time, the waiter brought up the coffee.
"Mr. Gao, I'm delighted to meet someone as kind-hearted as you today. In this materialistic society, people like you are rare. Let me introduce myself, my surname is Qin, and my name is Qin Chengcheng. I currently teach at the Provincial Normal University."
The bespectacled woman stood up and stretched out her right hand to Gao Fei in a straightforward manner.
"Is this a teacher from Provincial Normal University? Oh my, looking at how young and beautiful you are, I didn't expect you to be a university teacher! Sorry, sorry."
Gao Fei also stood up and shook hands with Qin Cheng: "Hehe, Teacher Qin, you're overpraising me. I'm a person who can't take compliments, there's no need to praise me like this."
Seeing Gao Fei's tactful gesture, Qin Cheng's good impression of him increased a little, and he said with some playfulness: "I'm not just a teacher, but also a professor."
"What? Professor again?"
Gao Fei made a deliberately exaggerated expression, intentionally using his own ignorance to please Qin Cheng: "University professors should be very powerful, right? For example, helping someone get in through the back door or getting an extra admission quota."
Although I don't understand why Gao Fei brought up this topic, and their relationship doesn't seem to be close enough for him to ask for help, Qin Cheng still replied: "Hmm, I do have some connections at the school. What, Mr. Gao wants to attend our school? Hehe, but you seem to have passed the age of schooling, and you just said you want to open a western restaurant and put that one out of business, so you shouldn't be going back to university for further studies, right?"
Gao Fei smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, let me tell you something you don't want to hear. It's not that I wouldn't go to university even if someone begged me to, it's just that I know I'm not the type for studying. However, I do have a niece who just failed her college entrance exams this year and was complaining to me two days ago about how much she wants to attend your university, but unfortunately doesn't know anyone there."
"Oh? So that's how it is."
Qin Cheng hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Mr. Gao, do you know what your niece's Gaokao score is? If it's not much different, I think I can help her out."
Gao Fei scratched his head, thinking of what Zhang Wenwen had said to him, and somewhat embarrassedly said: "It's not that much worse, just over 140 points."
Qin Cheng, who had just taken a sip of coffee, almost spat it out after hearing Gao Fei's words: "What, off by over 140 points? This...this isn't much?"
"Haha, there's such an unimpressive niece, it's really embarrassing."
Gao Fei felt even more embarrassed and quickly said: "Teacher Qin, I was just casually saying that. Actually, I also know she's not the material for studying."
Gao Fei wanted to help Zhang Wenwen achieve her dream of becoming a teacher, not because he still had feelings for her, but simply because he wanted to lend her a hand.
He could see that when he left Jie Hongyan's house, that little girl was truly reluctant for him to leave.
However, thinking of Zhang Wenwen's grades, Gao Fei had already lost hope for her to attend the Normal College, but Qin Chengcheng furrowed his brow slightly and said: "Hmm, it's not impossible, but it'll cost some money."
Gao Fei's eyes lit up: "Money is no problem! Teacher Qin, just say how much money you want to spend. Is 500,000 enough? If it's more than that, then I think forget it."
Qin Cheng smiled and unconsciously gave Gao Fei a glance: "Gao Fei, do you think our school is a bank or something? Or did you simply look down on me as a professor?"
Gao Fei looked puzzled and scratched his cheek: "Teacher Qin, what do you mean by saying this?"
"Alright, 100,000 should do it. I estimate that's enough to get your niece in school. But you have to give me some time. When the time comes, I'll take you to meet the head of the admissions office and we can bring a little gift to build some rapport - you know how it is."
Gao Fei was overjoyed, raised his coffee cup: "I know, of course I know! Ah, thank you so much, my niece will be thrilled when she hears the news. Come on, Teacher Qin, let me toast you with a cup of coffee!"
Seeing two helpful 'good people' chatting happily, Wang Xiao Zhuang was also very happy and picked up his coffee cup to join in the fun.
"Kao Fei, ah, Xiao Zhuang, what's wrong with your leg?"
Just as the three of them were laughing and chatting, Old Wang rushed in from outside, his face filled with distress when he saw that his daughter had bloodstains on her left knee.
"Dad, I'm fine, luckily I met Uncle Gao and Aunt Qin!"
Wang Xiaozhuang stood up, pretending to be relaxed and jumped a few times to show that he was fine, but scared Old Wang to hurry up and hold her: "Don't jump! You child, why are you so disobedient, and secretly ran out to sell flowers again? I've said it many times, everything has dad!"
After Old Wang arrived, Gao Fei asked him for a cup of coffee and then briefly told him what had happened.
Old Wang listened and stood up, bowing deeply to Qin Cheng: "Thank you, Teacher Qin!"
Qin Cheng was made to feel very embarrassed by Old Wang, and he hastily waved his hand: "No, no need to be so polite, you should thank Gao Fei instead. If it wasn't for him appearing in time, I wouldn't have been able to do anything either."
Old Wang looked at Gao Fei with a deep expression: "Teacher Qin, the relationship between me and Gao Fei is as deep as the sea—"
Gao Fei made a vomiting gesture: "Old Wang, you'd better steer clear of me, I don't like men!"
Old Wang was grateful, but didn't go on and on with his thanks. He chuckled and sat down, asking with concern: "Gaofei, why did you quit your job? I went to the south for a business trip two days ago, and only found out when I got back that you'd resigned. And before I could even look for you, I received your call."
Gao Fei smiled faintly: "I want to be on my own, I don't want to work for others anymore. Old Wang, what do you think if I open a western restaurant on this street?"
"Do you want to open a western restaurant?"
Old Wang's eyes were full of suspicion, but he didn't dare ask more questions in front of Qin Cheng. He just nodded: "Very good, this place is a golden location, rich people basically all come here. By the way, what can I do to help you? Or how about this, take the 50,000 yuan and go, anyway I won't want something like that..."
Gao Fei raised his hand, interrupting Old Wang's words: "Why not? They bullied Xiao Zhuang, they should give. Just this, I'm still shortchanged. Old Wang, the funds for opening a restaurant are no problem for me, without three or two, I dare to go up Liangshan Mountain! You, just take this little money and buy some nutritious products for Xiao Zhuang, this kid's body is too weak."
