The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

Chapter 502 Bao Qixuan

Although Hua Yan was anxious, she accepted Taiji's suggestion not to make the call today and to talk about it tomorrow.

Haha! Don't say she's disobedient! After all, the time was delayed by a whole night, which shows her sincerity, right?

Time seemed to have turned back to their past life. The two of them took a break from their busy schedules to go on vacation to F country. No one bothered them, and no one there knew them. Hua Yan nestled on Tai Ji's shoulder, and Tai Ji and she held hands, whispering softly in voices that only the two of them could hear.

At that time, they thought, how wonderful it would be if life could be like this! No endless company business, no relatives who want to take advantage of you, no troublesome matters, no accidents involving relatives, no illnesses... In short, just stay in the present moment. Peace and tranquility are not an adjective, but a verb.

next day

After finishing breakfast, Hua Yan hurriedly called Chai Lu. She had waited all night and hadn't even opened her eyes before making the call, which showed how much restraint she had shown.

"Hey! Jiu'er. What's wrong with you? My phone is either not working or it's switched off. What are you busy with? Are we not allowed to make phone calls during class, and not even after class?"

Before Hua Yan could speak, Chai Lu's complaints followed one after another.

"Hehe! Dad Chai, the school doesn't allow us to have cell phones, saying it will affect our studies and distract us. I'm calling you secretly."

"Oh! The school is so strict! Really, how am I supposed to find you?"

"If you need anything, just text me, and I'll call you back if I see it secretly."

Hua Yan described making a phone call as something utterly outrageous.

There was no other way; she had disappeared for a long time and many times recently, so she had to find a seemingly reasonable excuse for herself.

"Oh! I see. I didn't expect that going to school would restrict my personal freedom. Even if I go back to Kyoto, I won't be able to see you?"

"Ah! Mr. Shiba, you're coming to Kyoto! That's wonderful! When are you coming? I have something to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

Haha! These two forgot everything as soon as they heard something was up.

"I want you to open department stores in Kyoto and Shengjing, and a private commodity trading company in Heilongjiang Province, not the kind that's affiliated with the Foreign Trade Bureau, but one where we're in charge ourselves."

Now that the government has policies allowing individuals to start such companies, Uncle Miao's Yanxi Trading and your Jiu'er Trading can both operate independently.

I recently visited Heilongjiang Province, which borders R country. R country has a large demand for many goods…”

Hua Yan explained the current situation in R country, and Chai Lu immediately responded.

It has to be said that Chai Lu's mind is incredibly sharp. He'd already figured out all the possibilities as soon as Hua Yan started talking. No wonder he was able to become an electronics tycoon and a department store tycoon in his previous life; his abilities are truly remarkable.

"Jiu'er, I'll arrange my work in Shenzhen in the next couple of days and then I'll go back to Kyoto. We'll have a good talk then."

"Okay! Dad, you need to remember to balance work and rest, and don't overwork yourself."

When Hua Yan spoke, she felt somewhat hypocritical. She urged the horse to run freely, and then said with concern, "Horse, run slowly, don't get tired."

Haha! There was no other way; if the situation weren't so urgent, she wouldn't have rushed Chai Lu back to discuss this matter. Turning down a chance to make money would be a sin against heaven.

Soon, Hua Yan entered a routine university life, but no one knew how long it would last.

The class monitor, holding the report card, stared at Hua Yan in disbelief. He thought to himself, "This girl must be a genius. How could she get first place without having to attend classes? I, on the other hand, study day and night and only get fifth place."

And then there's Fu Lin and Fu Wang, they never seem to study very hard! How come they only got third or fourth place? And that second-place student, Bao Qixuan, well! It's understandable that he got second place, because he usually works harder than me. I'm always distracted by class work, but this student doesn't.

Hehe! Thinking about it this way, it feels more balanced now, at least more balanced than with Bao Qixuan. Class monitor Han Jiang thought to himself.

As soon as the results were announced, gasps of surprise rose from the students. Their gazes toward Hua Yan were filled with envy and respect, without a trace of jealousy.

Before anyone could finish their remark, the teacher walked in. Haha! It was none other than He Fang, Hua Yan's mentor from a past life.

The teacher took out the list and started calling out names. The first name called was Hua Yan.

Hua Yan answered crisply, "Here!"

He Fang looked at Hua Yan and gave her a happy smile.

Hehe! I didn't expect this little girl to be in this class. He Fang nodded.

Hua Yan recognized He Fang, and even more so, she recognized the thermos cup that He Fang had placed on the lectern.

He Fang teaches Western economics. Previously, Hua Yan and the others did not have He Fang's courses. Starting this semester, He Fang's courses have been taught.

The teacher and student exchanged glances. Hua Yan had been wondering why He Fang wasn't teaching her Western economics in this life.

Haha! Fate is a wonderful thing. If you haven't met it yet, it's just that the time hasn't come.

They continued calling out names, and their list was ranked according to their scores. When Bao Qixuan's name was called, his voice was noticeably weaker than Hua Yan's.

He Fang seemed not to hear, and called again, this time receiving a loud "Here".

He Fang gave Bao Qixuan a meaningful look, then continued clicking.

Hua Yan didn't know Bao Qixuan, but the other classmates admired him greatly. Although his college entrance exam score wasn't as high as Hua Yan's, he was still the top scorer in Kyoto.

Hua Yan knew nothing about these things because she hadn't attended classes properly for many days.

Now everyone sees that Bao Qixuan is working so hard, yet he still can't beat Hua Yan, who doesn't attend classes. While admiring Hua Yan, they also feel some sympathy for him, especially after seeing Teacher He Fang's ambiguous look.

In class, He Fang would ask Hua Yan a question every time she explained a new concept. Hua Yan was pleased to see how much He Fang cared for her; it seemed the thermos cup she'd given her hadn't been a waste.

Haha! Little Huayan, you're overthinking it. Teacher He Fang is asking you questions simply because she appreciates your talent.

After a year of classes, the teacher rarely asked questions. Usually, the teacher lectured, the students listened, and then diligently took notes.

In today's class, the teacher asked questions actively, the students answered fluently, and the interaction was excellent.

Bao Qixuan looked at He Fang, then at Hua Yan, and suddenly felt that he might be losing favor.

"Teacher, I also have my own opinion, which is not entirely the same as Hua Yan's."

After Hua Yan finished answering, Bao Qixuan suddenly raised his hand.

"Okay! Bao Qixuan, please share your thoughts. Other students are welcome to share their opinions as well."

He Fang looked at Bao Qixuan with encouraging eyes.

Encouraged by He Fang's gaze, Bao Qixuan shared his thoughts. He was filled with a mix of emotions, a feeling that was both familiar and strange. Familiar because he had grown up with this kind of encouragement, and strange because he hadn't heard that encouraging voice or looked at him in the last two years.

"Teacher, this is what I think..."

Bao Qixuan clearly and logically explained his point of view. Hua Yan thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Hmm! Bao Qixuan's point of view is quite novel. Are there any other students who would like to share their thoughts?"

The classroom atmosphere was enlivened by He Fang's words, and she didn't end the class until long after the bell rang.

"Next class we will talk about... Students who are interested can collect some materials in advance, and we will also have a discussion in class."

He Fang really liked the classroom atmosphere. When she left, someone started clapping. She smiled, waved, and walked out of the classroom with the thermos cup that Hua Yan had given her.

For a period of time afterward, He Fang's classes became very popular, and more and more students enrolled. Many of them were attracted by Hua Yan's classmates because they continued to discuss some issues after He Fang's classes ended, which aroused the interest of others.

However, Hua Yan did not see the large number of elective students flooding into the classroom because she had gone to Heilongjiang Province with Chai Lu.
