Shen Zi Shuo is excellent. To achieve such good results in his first competition at such a young age is truly astonishing.
I am honored to be his teacher."
Jin Jing Chen's lips curved slightly upward. He looked at Shen Xi politely,
"I believe you must have considered my teaching abilities before contacting me.
However, learning is ultimately a child's affair. We should empower him and let him make the final choice on whether he wishes to study with me.
Only when both of us sincerely choose each other can future teaching yield twice the result with half the effort."
Shen Xi listened intently as he finished speaking. She felt, once again, that she might have seen this man somewhere before.
But she still couldn't recall.
Still, he didn't look like a teacher, and his attire was casual, but his words were quite eloquent and befitting of a teacher.
One could tell he had studied child psychology.
"Indeed. Principal Jin speaks with good reason. May I ask how we can let the child make his choice?"
Her implication was that to have him willing to learn from you, you needed to showcase your skills in front of the child, making him admire and idolize you.
"That's simple. I have a small classroom inside. I can take him there now for a trial lesson, allowing him to immerse himself in the experience. He will then make an objective choice."
Jin Jing Chen smiled slightly, his eyes filled with confidence.
"Alright." Shen Xi also found the suggestion excellent. She turned and said to Shuo Shuo, "Shuo Shuo, go with Principal Jin now for the trial lesson."
"Okay." Shuo Shuo stood up and nodded solemnly at her.
It was as if he was saying, "Mom, don't worry, I will listen carefully and make the right choice."
"Zi Shuo's mother, please wait here for a moment. You can come out in half an hour," Jin Jing Chen said, standing up and gesturing towards the juicer nearby. "There's juice over there. Please help yourself."
"Thank you." Shen Xi nodded slightly at him.
Watching their figures disappear from her sight, she picked up the cup in front of her and finished the juice. Still feeling a bit thirsty,
She stood up and walked towards the juicer, pouring herself another cup.
As she lifted it and took a sip, her peripheral vision caught a single photo standing on the table.
It showed Jin Jing Chen dressed in a suit, holding a trophy, looking at her with a smile.
His bright eyes held pride, confidence, and even a hint of rebelliousness.
Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat. The man in front of her suddenly overlapped with the image of a boy from many years ago.
She then shook her head forcefully, thinking it impossible. How could there be such a coincidence?
It must be her eyes playing tricks on her.
Many people in the world look alike, but it doesn't mean anything.
Otherwise, how could movie stars find look-alikes?
Besides, their names were different. She remembered that boy was named Jiang Feng.
Shen Xi withdrew her thoughts and returned to the sofa, choosing not to dwell on the matter. Instead, she took out her phone and browsed through the news aimlessly.
At that moment, a news report about a drug launch caught her eye.
She immediately clicked on it to view it. It was about a new drug being developed and prepared for launch by a well-known pharmaceutical company in City K.
That company was also one of the companies that had joined forces to target her father's company back then.
It seemed she needed to expedite the production and launch of her own comparable drug to compete with it.
Thinking back, her decision to have Jian Fan acquire a near-bankrupt pharmaceutical factory was indeed correct. By simply changing the company name and legal representative, many procedures with the drug regulatory authorities were simplified.
This saved a lot of time for drug approval and market entry.
At this moment, the inner door opened, and Shuo Shuo happily ran into her arms.
"Mommy, class is over."
"Oh? How was it?" Shen Xi opened her arms and caught him.
Shuo Shuo snuggled into her embrace, tilting his head up, and replied cheerfully, "It was great. Principal Jin's Rubik's Cube skills are amazing. I want to learn from him properly and win many trophies in the future."
As he spoke, his little eyes kept glancing at Jin Jing Chen, revealing his surprise and admiration.
"Okay. As long as you like it." Shen Xi hadn't expected such a significant change in her child after only half an hour.
It seemed that Jin Jing Chen was not only skilled at the Rubik's Cube but also taught in a unique way, capturing the children's hearts.
Shen Xi slowly stood up, about to speak. Jin Jing Chen, with a smile, leaned down and looked at Shuo Shuo, "Zi Shuo, from now on, you can just call me Teacher Jin. It sounds more friendly."
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Shen Xi looked at him with surprise.
Everyone else called him Principal, and for her child to call him Teacher, wouldn't that be too impolite?
