Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Forget It, What Do You Know

Jiang Cheng listened to Shen Xing for a long time. She wasn’t impatient or seemed tired.

She knew Shen Xing needed to talk; it was his own way of venting peacefully.

As the night deepened, Shen Xing’s voice gradually lowered.

"Sis, did I talk too much?"

"Did you? I was really into it."

Jiang Cheng’s eyes were clear, and Shen Xing scratched his head with a smile.

Jiang Cheng stood up and helped Shen Xing up, saying, "Go to sleep."

"Okay."

Without saying much, Shen Xing went back to his room to rest, staring at the ceiling, thinking about writing a letter to his brother tomorrow.

He wondered if his brother could get him a watch voucher.

Returning to her room, Jiang Cheng checked the time in her space; it was already late.

She decided to completely relax this once, balancing work and rest.

The next day at four in the morning, Jiang Cheng got up and dressed.

This time, she carried her backpack and walked straight out of the courtyard.

Following the address Teacher Xu gave her, Jiang Cheng jogged the whole way, considering it exercise.

The place where Elder Xu lived was a small courtyard, not large, but pleasantly simple.

After knocking, the middle-aged man from yesterday opened the door.

"Come in."

The man opened the door and stood aside.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Jiang Cheng thanked him sensibly, flashing a bright smile, making the middle-aged man nod somewhat embarrassedly.

"Jiang Cheng is here? You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Join me for some food."

"Hello, Elder Xu, I’ve already eaten."

Elder Xu did not insist, and the two sat on either side of the square table in the hall, beginning today’s lesson.

From 4:40 to 7:40, Jiang Cheng was ready to leave.

"Wait, Jiang Cheng, have you always studied with Lü Dadao—Teacher Lü—like this?"

"Teacher Xu, am I learning too slowly? In today’s three-hour class, I only learned from two books; such a shame!"

Jiang Cheng spoke of shame, but there wasn’t a trace of it on her face.

Elder Xu had countless words at the tip of his tongue but couldn’t utter a single one, unable to find suitable and elegant phrases.

"Got it, no need to see me off."

Jiang Cheng left.

Elder Xu: Who wants to see you off!!

After Jiang Cheng left, Elder Xu sat alone for a long time, unable to recover.

"No wonder, no wonder!

"No wonder what?"

The middle-aged man came out with breakfast, chiming in.

With a bang, Elder Xu slapped the table and stood up abruptly.

"No wonder Lü Dadao keeps urging people!"

"No, I have to make a call!"

Elder Xu ran off with small steps.

The middle-aged man quickly followed, and the two ran to a place where they could make a call, phoning Teacher Lü’s senior brother.

"Hurry up with those procedures!"

"Can’t even handle a few books? I think you should go home and sell sweet potatoes!"

"Hah, who are you trying to scare? I’m telling you, my apprentice is a top genius!"

After unleashing a tirade, Elder Xu hung up the phone, a smile instantly replacing his originally red face.

"Hehe, it’s settled, just a matter of days now."

Elder Xu, hands behind his back, humming a tune, walked back happily.

"Elder Xu, when did Jiang Cheng become your apprentice?"

The middle-aged man’s comment interrupted Elder Xu’s cheerful mood.

He shot over a glare and snorted coldly.

"What do you know! Jiang Cheng didn’t refuse me."

"But she hasn’t agreed either!"

Elder Xu was choked by the words, unwillingly saying, "That’s because I haven’t asked yet!"
