“Oh, by the way, I heard that you’ve recently met many big names in the industry. Have people from overseas contacted you?”

“You must be mistaken. The one who has many contacts with other people would be Jian Yuncheng. He graduated from your school.”

Qin Chuan replied quite indifferently.

“Oh, that’s true,” the Head of Teaching said whilst smiling.

Jian Yuncheng had also graduated from Shenghua High School. However, that was quite some time ago. Jian Yuncheng had graduated from the school before had become the Head of Teaching.

There was also Jian Yunmo. Apparently, he was also a genius that was currently studying abroad at a well-known university. His instructor was one of the best biologists in the world.

As he thought about this, the Head of Teaching couldn’t help think of Jian Yiling.

They were all from the same family. But why was there such a big difference between the brothers and the sister?

Furthermore, during his term of office, why could he not have had geniuses like Jian Yuncheng and Jian Yunmo? Instead, he was stuck with the worst child in the Jian family.

What sins did he do in his past life to deserve this?

The Head of Teaching accompanied Qin Chuan to the school’s auditorium.

He smiled all the way there. Anyone who saw him could see that he was in a good mood.

By the time Qin Chuan arrived there, the auditorium was already full of students.

Mo Shiyun was also among them. Initially, she had planned to stay in her classroom to revise questions for the chemistry competition.

However, when the time came, Zhu Sha had dragged her over here.

After Zhu Sha had argued with Mo Shiyun the last time, Zhu Sha had taken the initiative to apologize to her.

Mo Shiyun hadn’t taken the matter personally. Due to that reason, she decided to forgive her.

Mo Shiyun didn’t want to make enemies with any of her classmates. She didn’t want to be disliked by everyone like Jian Yiling was.

Although Mo Shiyun had joined Zhu Sha, she still planned to use her time to study. Due to this, she had brought her printouts with her.

She had heard that the person who was giving the talk today was an outstanding university student. His peers evaluated him quite highly. Initially, Mo Shiyun had thought that this was a rumor.

However, once she saw Qin Chuan for herself, she realized that everyone hadn’t exaggerated.

When Qin Chuan gave his speech, he didn’t talk like old professors. He didn’t talk big nor did he talk about useless matters. Rather, the way he spoke about things was quite down-to-earth.

In particular, he told them that his achievements today were not due to a prominent background. Rather, he achieved them with his own efforts.

And that was what Mo Shiyun had admired the most about him.

This was what she wanted to achieve in life.

Mo Shiyun’s attention was unconsciously drawn away by Qin Chuan. She didn’t open the printouts that she had brought along with her.

At the end of the talk, Mo Shiyun applauded heartily. Then, she watched him leave the room.

After the talk, it was lunchtime.

The Head of Teaching invited Qin Chuan to have lunch in their school cafeteria.

Qin Chuan saw Jian Yiling in the cafeteria.

It appeared as though she didn’t like to match clothes. From the first time he saw her, she had always dressed in the same way. She wore a white sweater with black plants. Her waist-length hair was pulled into a ponytail.

Her small face was delicate and distant from everything around her.

Her eyes were bright and clear. Her eyes were her most striking feature.

When the Head of Teaching saw that Qin Chuan was looking at Jian Yiling, he asked, “Qin Chuan, do you know Jian Yiling?”

“Yeah,” Qin Chuan replied. He didn’t deny the fact that he knew her.

“Oh? How do you know her?”

“I’ve tutored her before. However, I feel like she doesn’t need tutoring.”
