Chapter 343: Chapter 128 This is even closer to me than my own grandson! _3

Xue Song quickly replied, "Actually, Qiao Yu doesn’t need much guidance. I just helped him plan a bit for the future. By the way, are you here to see Academician Tian? Shall I take you over?"

Yuan Zhengxin shook his head and replied, "No need. I’m just here to check on Qiao Yu. I heard from the kids that he lives around here, so I’m here to see how he’s doing. If Professor Xue isn’t busy, you can take me to see Qiao Yu."

"Not busy, not busy, please follow me."

With that, Xue Song led the old man toward the building in the corner of the research center where Qiao Yu was located.

"By the way, you didn’t notify him beforehand?" On the way, Xue Song asked the question.

If he was informed beforehand and the kid doesn’t come out to greet guests, it would be too presumptuous. He would have to sternly criticize the kid later.

"No, I came on a whim. I haven’t visited here since it was built," the old man answered while looking around at the scenery.

"Oh, then he might not be in. Qiao Yu has been attending some courses lately."

"No problem, let’s go see first. If he’s not in, we’ll talk about it later."

"Okay."

The courtyard was small, and even though Xue Song deliberately slowed his pace, it only took a few minutes to reach the building where Qiao Yu lived.

Seeing through the window that the young man was seriously reading, Xue Song breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s good that the kid didn’t go out.

Although the old man wouldn’t express it, it would be disappointing to come all this way for nothing, right?

"Here we are." Xue Song stopped and pointed to the small house.

Yuan Zhengxin nodded. He had already seen it; although it wasn’t in his office, it was clear through the window that Qiao Yu was still as focused as ever while reading.

He didn’t go to class, and in the absence of supervision, chose to read by himself with such self-discipline.

Especially after making some achievements, he can maintain this mindset, not claiming credit, not being arrogant, calmly and naturally.

Still maintaining a thirst for knowledge and a drive to improve...

This drive to improve, even some professors at Huaqing can’t compare.

Some people get complacent over minor achievements, throw big celebration parties, even invite him here...

Why can there be such a big difference between people?

...

Qiao Yu, engrossed in his reading, probably never imagined that outside, his mentor was praising him repeatedly in his heart.

And even became more displeased with some people.

Really, he also planned to go out to celebrate solving another problem, but then Yu Wei suddenly appeared, showcasing the prowess befitting a wealthy second generation, which stopped his desire to relax.

After all, people need a balance between work and leisure.

But often, things just align this way.

Especially for someone like Yuan Zhengxin, who is older, those perceptive eyes have grown weary of hearing various promises. Most times, he only believes what he sees, good or bad.

"Knock knock knock."

The sudden sound of knocking on the door snapped Qiao Yu out of his deep reading state. He instinctively looked out the window, then quickly stood up and opened the door.

"Eh, grandpa, Professor Xue, how did you two meet?"

Opening the door, Qiao Yu asked in surprise.

Old Xue visiting him was a frequent occurrence, but Elder Yuan was quite different.

This could be deduced from the fact that Senior Brother Chen had been in the research center for five years and had never once seen his mentor. Situations like this were rare.

"Elder Yuan came to see you, and I happened to meet him at the gate, so I led the way," Xue Song explained.

"Oh, I see. Grandpa, Professor Xue, please come in." Qiao Yu hurriedly made space for them.

"I’m just here to drop Elder Yuan off; I have things to do in the afternoon, so I won’t go in. Just take good care of Elder Yuan. Elder Yuan, I’ll be off then." Xue Song quickly said.

With the mentor and the mentee chatting happily, even if he were free, he wouldn’t plan to intrude.

"Mm, thank you, Professor Xue."

"You’re welcome."

With that, Xue Song turned and left.

Reaching the corner, he thought about it and decided to take out his phone to call Tian Yanzhen. After the call connected, he informed him that Elder Yuan had come specifically to visit Qiao Yu.

"Oh, I see. I’m in a meeting outside. I’ll see if Elder Yuan is still around when I get back."

"Yes, I just wanted to let you know."

"Thanks, Professor Xue."

After hanging up, Xue Song suddenly felt he might have been influenced by Qiao Yu...

Previously, he seemed to disdain doing these things.

But ever since meeting Qiao Yu, seeing this young genius call Director Tian and his mentor with such enthusiasm, something seemed to relax in his mind.

Think about it, if such a talented young man puts so much effort into charming the big shots, what are a few academic achievements worth? What’s so dignified about them?!

...

In the room, the young man scratched his head.

"Um, grandpa, I don’t have any tea leaves here, um... how about you wait a bit? I could sneak some good tea from Director Tian’s office for you?"

With that one sentence, the old man laughed heartily, "Haha, no need, no need. I’m just here to see how you’re living, have a little chat with you, and then I have to go back. Grandpa still has a lot to do."

Qiao Yu said seriously, "I think those trivial matters should be delegated to others. You just need to set the big direction, there are plenty of professors at Huaqing. At your age, taking care of your health is the most important."
