Chapter 166: Chapter 127 Zhou Wang’s Chips

The group that left Professor Wang’s house all exuded a scholarly aura; it was unclear which group of intellectuals they were from. Wang Hongying accompanied them to the street corner before returning.

Wang Hongying, who was wearing glasses, appeared to be in her forties or fifties. She had a neat short haircut and didn’t look much different from Zhou Wang’s memory, even though Zhou Wang hadn’t attended many of her classes…

“Jiang Mo, you’re here?”

Facing Jiang Mo and Jiang Qingkui, who came up to greet her, the returning Wang Hongying first smiled and nodded at Jiang Mo, whom she had contacted earlier, then looked at Jiang Qingkui, who had her hands in her pockets, with a very kind expression.

“Qingkui, how long have you been back in the country? Have you gone to see your teacher?”

In front of Wang Hongying, Jiang Qingkui’s face was not as cold, and she revealed a smile.

“Yes, when I came back, I first went to Beidou and stayed with my teacher for a few days…”

“Good to be back, good to be back… Let’s not stand here. Come inside, Xiaohu, go quickly and ask your sister to brew some tea. Tell her not to stay in the room. She has met Qingkui before.”

As Wang Hongying instructed her son, she led everyone into the house.

Once they were in the living room, Wang Hongying finally glanced at Zhou Wang and Tang Mao, supporting her glasses and smiling.

“Oh, so you’ve all brought your boyfriends?”

Jiang Mo didn’t respond, instinctively glancing at Zhou Wang, who smiled and stepped forward, bowing slightly.

“Professor Wang, I am Jiang Mo’s boyfriend, Zhou Wang. You might not remember me, but I am also a student at Cai University. I just graduated this year and even took your elective course before!”

After Zhou Wang finished speaking, he suddenly heard a system notification.

Ding!

[The spiritual desire of the bound object Jiang Mo has been satisfied, and Desire Consumption Gold has been issued.]

Zhou Wang cast a surprised glance at Jiang Mo. The senior sister showed no obvious expression, but her mouth seemed to twitch.

He surreptitiously glanced at his phone, thinking, damn, 1.88 million seriously…

“Oh, who was your academic advisor?”

While Zhou Wang was still smacking his lips, Wang Hongying asked with interest.

After Zhou Wang answered, Wang Hongying chatted with him for a few more minutes and nodded without saying much more.

In fact, she was just being polite. After all, no matter how outstanding an undergraduate graduate might be, it couldn’t make her truly take notice, especially since she had no recollection of Zhou Wang’s name, which likely meant he wasn’t among the “excellent” ones…

At this point, Jiang Qingkui found an opportunity to introduce Tang Mao.

“Professor Wang, this is Tang Mao, a local friend a classmate introduced to me. I haven’t been back for many years and was afraid of not finding my way, so he accompanied me today. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Hello, Professor Wang.”

Tang Mao was apparently not adept in dealing with someone like Wang Hongying, and even Zhou Wang couldn’t bear to watch his awkward smile.

“Visitors are guests, please sit, sit…”

Wang Hongying cheerfully invited them, showing no airs, and her personality aligned exactly with Ding Yi’s description.

“Qingkui, isn’t this your first time meeting Jiang Mo as well? Let me introduce you.”

Upon hearing that Jiang Qingkui was not only a Harvard returnee with a Ph.D. but also once the top scorer on the college entrance examination, even someone as composed as Jiang Mo couldn’t help but show some surprise.

“Sister Qingkui, hello, I am Jiang Mo.”

“Junior Sister Jiang, you are very beautiful. My foreign classmates who have stereotypes really should see you to understand what a true Oriental beauty is…”

“Sister Qingkui, you are also very beautiful…”

As the reserved Jiang Mo and the slightly smiling Jiang Qingkui exchanged polite compliments, Zhou Wang also figured out the relationship between Jiang Qingkui and Wang Hongying.

It was probably that Jiang Qingkui’s undergraduate and master’s degree mentor at Beijing University was a senior brother to Wang Hongying, making Wang Hongying something like an academic aunt to Jiang Qingkui…

However, Zhou Wang could sense that Wang Hongying was puzzled by Jiang Qingkui’s sudden visit.

As expected, after chatting for a while, Wang Hongying took the initiative to ask, “Qingkui, what are your plans for returning to the country this time? I heard from Old Gao that your law firm also offered you a position in any city of your choosing, but you seemed to decline?”

When Wang Hongying brought up the topic, Jiang Qingkui looked hesitantly at Jiang Mo and Zhou Wang, but ultimately didn’t hide anything and solemnly said,

“Teacher Wang, I do have a favor to ask you.”

“Qingkui, go ahead, no need to be formal with me.”

Wang Hongying smiled and waved her hand.

“I heard from my teacher that you manage an entrepreneurial fund, right?”

“Yes, it was set up by a successful student of mine to help some aspiring juniors, but I can’t say I manage it, I just help coordinate… Hey, why are you asking, are you planning to set up your own law firm?”

As she spoke, Wang Hongying suddenly realized something was amiss, and she looked at Jiang Qingkui with surprise.

With her intellect, when Jiang Qingkui started this topic, she had already guessed the purpose of her visit.

Jiang Qingkui nodded, “I do have a plan to start my own business, but it’s not a law firm.”

“Then what could it be, a legal education institution? Or are you going into academic research?” Wang Hongying asked, puzzled.

“Neither…”

Jiang Qingkui looked somewhat embarrassed, but she eventually said, “I want to do something else, and I’m currently targeting the trade industry.”

“What?”

Wang Hongying thought she had misheard. After confirming with Jiang Qingkui again, for the first time, her smile disappeared.
