Chapter 676: Chapter 676: Annoyance

Yue Qingqing looked at the old man’s pained expression and apologized, “I am not so omnipotent, nor can I know everything, but it seems you must have done many good deeds.”

Qian Zhengxin responded dejectedly, “Perhaps.”

A sense of absurdity grew in the old man’s heart–he had helped so many people, yet he had only just realized that his family life was not as harmonious as he had imagined.

His beloved only son was bent on seeing him dead.

Perhaps his son had also been deceived? Hope sprouted in Qian Zhengxin’s heart.

Yue Qingqing sighed, “Wealth stirs people’s hearts. Your good deeds will surely bring you blessings, but maybe in that person’s view, your actions harmed his interests?”

Indeed, Yue Qingqing was not capable of divination, but there were many things that those involved could not see, which she, as an outsider, could guess at.

The troublemaker must have been a relative whom Qian truly trusted. If something happened to Qian, the other party could inherit his estate, hence they had taken the risk.

The reason was probably simple.

Qian Zhengxin was a great philanthropist, and the wealth he had spent was substantial, while in the eyes of the perpetrator, that money should have belonged to him.

Yue Qingqing’s words struck Qian Zhengxin sharply, as if someone had harshly beaten him.

“You, you’re right, but how could he think that way?”

Yue Qingqing shook her head, getting ready to leave.

Qian Zhengxin, however, handed her his business card.

“Young lady, I need to thank you regardless. If it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have lasted much longer,” Qian Zhengxin laughed self-deprecatingly, “I’ve lived a lifetime, yet I never expected to encounter such an event. I don’t know how you charge in your line of work, just name a price and I’ll send it over.”

Yue Qingqing declined, “No need, I didn’t really do much, just lending a hand.”

Qian Zhengxin, seeing Yue Qingqing’s demeanor, knew that she was not greedy for money.

But he insisted on giving her the business card, “You helped me today, and perhaps in the future, you might find a need for my help.”

Yue Qingqing, hearing him say that, nodded and took the business card.

Qian Zhengxin watched the young girl’s departing figure, and he sighed deeply.

He had devoted himself to education, not knowing how much money he had spent in this area.

Yet he never expected that the one who most needed to be educated was his own son.

All of this seemed so absurd.

Qian Zhengxin slowly exhaled. After all, he had weathered many storms. Although he had suffered a great blow, he was not completely crushed.

If there’s a mistake, correct it. Stand straight and take your punishment.

If he hadn’t educated his son properly before, then he would start re-educating him from today!

The small incident with Mr. Qian did not affect Yue Qingqing at all.

Thanks to her, Lingguang No.1 Middle School had successfully obtained Mr. Qian’s sponsorship.

The principal announced that the funding would be used to establish a computer club, and students interested in computers could enroll. The school planned to hire professional teachers for this subject.

Yue Qingqing’s group of four was quite interested in computers, which had recently been introduced from abroad.

Especially Zhuang Lan, who, after hearing that this device could process information thousands to millions of times faster than the human brain, immediately signed up, eager to understand its principles.

The principal specifically mentioned Mr. Qian’s test during the meeting after the flag-raising ceremony, telling the students that moral character was the foundation of one’s standing and to aim to be good people useful to society.

Ye Chunxiao, upon learning that the old man they had encountered was the renowned Qian Zhengxin, was so annoyed that she couldn’t eat all day.

She hated herself for not having known in advance and letting Yue Qingqing snatch up such an opportunity.

So it was true when Yue Qingqing said the old man was rich and distinguished!

Ye Chunxiao felt that Yue Qingqing must have gained some benefits through the old man, while she herself had let a great opportunity slip through her fingers.

If she had acted more kindly at the time, could she have made a connection with Qian Zhengxin and soared to great heights?

Tormented by this regret, Ye Chunxiao had almost been unable to fall asleep, wishing she could turn back time and return to the day she met Qian Zhengxin.

In such a state of mind, Ye Chunxiao naturally performed poorly in the final exams and was called into the office for a scolding by the teacher.

Seeing that lofty name on the honor roll, Ye Chunxiao felt a dark resentment.

Why were some people born lucky, effortlessly getting everything they wanted!
