Chapter 284: Treating Everyone to a Meal! (Part 1)

Zhao Qingfeng’s participation in the competition was beyond doubt.

Teacher Zhou nodded repeatedly. Now, even if he didn’t want to compete, he had no choice but to beg him to join.

Li Ping apologized to Teacher Yu, “Teacher Yu, I might have been a bit too harsh before, but… but his claims were indeed frightening, who could believe them…”

Teacher Yu waved his hand, “It’s okay, let’s not dwell on the past. My protégé and I are alike, we prefer to remain low-profile while still maintaining a presence, it’s a tradition that can’t be helped.”

While they were talking.

Suddenly, a young girl knocked on the door outside.

She introduced herself as the manager of the restaurant across the street, inquiring what everyone wanted to eat tonight as they needed to prepare the ingredients.

Everyone was startled, Zhao Qingfeng was really meticulous!

His attitude might seem arrogant, but he indeed had the capability.

And now, he was actually inviting everyone to dine at the restaurant, how could such a student not be cherished?

“Uh…”

Seeing everyone a bit embarrassed, Teacher Yu took the lead, “Just prepare some simple home-cooked dishes, along with some beer and liquor, nothing fancy. We have more than thirty people, try to keep it under five hundred yuan in total.”

The restaurant manager nodded, “500 is exactly what Mr. Zhao requested, aiming for an average spend of 500 yuan per person. That’s settled then, please be at the restaurant’s second and third floors for dining at six o’clock tonight.”

After saying this.

The restaurant manager left.

Teacher Yu, thinking Mr. Zhao mentioned was Erlunsi’s Mr. Zhao, shockingly said to those around him, “For over thirty of us, 500 yuan each, that’s almost twenty thousand. Twenty thousand yuan for a meal, even if Zhao Qingfeng makes a few thousand yuan a month at Erlunsi, that’s a big expense!”

By the time they thought to chase after the manager, she was already gone.

Teacher Zhou quickly comforted, “Student Zhao is wealthy, and it’s all in good spirit. We can’t just take advantage without giving back. How about, as I said, let Student Zhao join my class, to study higher-level computer technology with the third and fourth-year students? It would be a way to compensate for this meal.”

Teacher Yu wished he could slap him, “Get lost, stop coveting my student! I’ll call him later about the meal, you all go ahead.”

The arrangements for the meal were essentially settled.

However, Zhao Qingfeng didn’t want to go tonight, as he had plans to work on the Mid-Autumn Festival’s song with the young lady.

He excused himself, saying he had some savings and there was a discount for the opening, so a meal would cost around ten thousand yuan at most. It was considered a practice meal before the competition to cheer everyone up, which made Teacher Yu unable to say much else, only advising, “If Teacher Zhou asks you to study with him, don’t go. I’ll tutor you privately if you have any problems.”

Then he inquired about LeXin.

Zhao Qingfeng openly talked about the various products developed by Lingfeng Technology since its establishment.

Teacher Yu was shocked again, “My God, I take back what I said. Although I don’t know why your level is so high, now I feel I’m not even close to your level. I’ve heard of Li Zhi, who doesn’t know he’s a big shot in the capital? I saw his news on the forums a while ago and never imagined he joined your company. Little Feng, this… I… How should we handle our teacher-student relationship from now on?”

This was a difficult question.

Though it’s said a teacher doesn’t need to be wiser than the student, and the student doesn’t need to be inferior to the teacher.

But after all is said and done, Teacher Yu had to admit from the bottom of his heart that he was far inferior to the freshman.

But after much thought, he figured it out, “Sigh, I’m old now, over forty. Whether it’s absorptive capacity or learning ability, I can’t keep up with you young people. Little Feng, from now on, your time is your own. I won’t manage you anymore and will explain the situation to the other teachers. You should still try to contribute as much as you can at school, at least not to let down the principal and Director Zhang’s kindness.”

The principal and Director Zhang hadn’t really been in touch since Zhao Qingfeng enrolled.

But it wasn’t because they had given up or for any other reason, but rather for two reasons.
