Qi Wenfeng has been crazily playing these days. Zhou Yan once thought he had been stimulated. Qi Wenfeng didn’t explain, either playing games or going to the bar with friends. In short, he seemed to be venting.
Zhou Yan specially sent Qi Wenfeng’s current status to Qi Sheng, but Qi Sheng only looked at it and didn’t reply to Zhou Yan.
In a blink of an eye, on the seventh day of the new year, the excitement of the new year was slowly passing away. Qi Wenyan visited relatives and friends, and also met many families with good relations between the Qi and Bai families. But after the excitement, it was time for him to stop and study.
Qi Wenyan was quite clever. Before, he was always occupied by too many things. Now he had a tutor at home, and he was quite skilled in reviewing. Seeing this, Qi Sheng couldn’t help feeling that Qi Wenyan had not inherited his ‘study scum’ gene.
It was like fulfilling a promise, Qi Wenfeng finally returned to normal these days. After breakfast, he looked at his mother and said definitely, “Mom, you don’t need to worry. I will study hard in the future, like Qi Wenyu, and get into F University!”
Looking at his mother’s excited look, Qi Wenfeng continued: “Dad told me last time, that grandfather agreed to let me go back to Qi family after a while…”
Qi Wenfeng hadn’t finished yet, Zhou Yan excitedly asked: “Really? Did your father really say that? Ha ha, my child, we finally made it!”
Qi Wenfeng nodded positively and looked at his mother’s excited look: “Mom, Dad said that I am also qualified to compete for the inheritance right in the Qi family. You can rest assured that I will try my best. I think I will study well in the second half of the year and try my best to be admitted to the Affiliated High School of F University with my own ability. In this way, I can also satisfy grandfather when I go back to the Qi family.”
Zhou Yan felt like today was a dream. She thought that the life of their mother and son wouldn’t be easy after Qi Sheng came that day. Unexpectedly, her son suddenly understood. Zhou Yan really couldn’t help but cry at this moment.
Qi Wenfeng gently dried his mother’s tears: “So, mom, you don’t need to plan for me anymore, and don’t make small movements behind my back. Those things really can’t escape Dad’s eyes.”
Looking at the dazed Zhou Yan, Qi Wenfeng chuckled: “Dad said that if he found out that you were acting behind his back, he wouldn’t only send you away, but also cancel my inheritance right. So, Mom, for me, you should be an ordinary study companion. Believe that your son will surely give you a good future!”
Zhou Yan didn’t respond to this, but looking at her son’s serious face, she agreed: “Don’t worry, mom will never drag you down, mom will listen to you…”
The conversation between mother and son was over. Qi Wenfeng really did what he said. He worked hard in his studies, even the music he used to like was rarely touched.
Qi Sheng has seen him several times, and he was still deeply moved by the fact that his son’s grades had been improving. Qi Sheng’s son, a ‘study scum’, was actually a powerful student!
Qi Sheng, in addition to watching his sons these days, often goes out to play with his friends. If he stays at home all the time, the Qi family would definitely be surprised.
Coming back from going out, Qi Sheng returned to the Qi family’s home with a bunch of herbs.
The old man who was sitting in the courtyard looking at him, stared at him habitually and looked at what he was carrying. He was curious for a moment: “What are you carrying?”
“Ha ha, good things! Dad, I got them for you to taste!”
This time Qi Sheng went to the Baishan Mountain of Dongshi with his two good brothers. During the visit, he found many precious herbs and dug them back according to the principle of ‘never missing out’. This made his two brothers speechless. Anyone who took a mobile phone to look up medicinal materials wouldn’t dare to confidently search for medicinal materials in the wild mountain forest. Anyway, they also enjoyed themselves very much. They only thought that Qi Sheng was having fun himself. In their heart, they were even more surprised to find out what happened to the Qi family. Didn’t he ignore all the beauties gathered around him during this time? Some people who are envious of Qi Sheng’s good life can’t help but exult: You also get you just deserts!
Qi Sheng had been a respected old Chinese doctor for several times in his previous tasks. Even the Emperor wanted to ask him for a consultation. Some of his health care drinks were priceless. However, what Qi Sheng did right now, had to be covered up by mobile phone searches, so that it didn’t attract the attention of others.
The old man didn’t believe that he could do anything, and just told him: “Xiaoyan is about to take the college entrance examination. Don’t run around. Stay at home honestly and accompany the children well!”
“I understand, Dad.” Qi Sheng thought of the two children, one going for the college entrance examination and the other for the middle school entrance examination. Although he couldn’t help them, he had to support them mentally.
Put things away, he went to Wenyan’s room. The child was reading a book, and was very happy to see him back.
“After a few more days of hard work, Dad will take you out to have a good time after the college entrance examination!” In any case, if he couldn’t help with the results. It was still okay to reward him.
Qi Wenyan was very moved. To be honest, the struggle in this half year really made him shed a layer of skin. He couldn’t help it. His goal was too high, so he had to work hard.
(TNote: shed a layer of skin = something torturous, or very laborious. Similar to the saying: work you’re a*s off.)
Father and son talked some more, then Qi Sheng didn’t bother him anymore. Right now, child had developed his own learning habits. He was not good enough to casually say that he would take a rest today and study again tomorrow.
He went to Wenyu’s room next and saw him staring at the screen. He looked very busy.
“Well, take a break. You have really learned your grandfather’s workaholic quality. At an early age, you are all set on what a career is all about!” Wenyu did not go to The Qi Group for internship after the end of the year. He was not happy at first, but Wenyu insisted on not giving up until later. However, instead of going to the company for internship, the child went back to the old ways of his previous life. It seems that within a few years, there will be an additional upstart in the investment field.
“Dad, you’re back. I’ll be right there.” Just now, the boy who was looking at computers seriously saw that Qi Sheng came back and smiled.
In the past six months, Qi Wenyu and Bai Ruoqing’s relationship was not so close. Although it couldn’t be as caring as before, but Qi Wenyu was satisfied. However, the strange father-child relationship had been developing rapidly in this half a year, so Qi Wenyu was very happy to see his father back.
Qi Sheng didn’t leave either. He sat beside Wenyu and watched him work. When he saw the trend of the stock market, he would ask the child to analyze the situation and trend for him, and then disclose some inside information from his friends. This indirectly helped the child avoid detours several times, and also let Qi Wenyu think that it wasn’t so bad for his father to go out to play so often.
Tomorrow was a Sunday; Qi Sheng couldn’t wait to sort out the herbs he collected. Given that Wenyu was becoming more and more workaholic, Qi Sheng quickly called him out to help.
The child was also obedient. He could do whatever the man wanted, but when he looked at the computer pages his father put in front of him and a pile of ‘weeds’ he didn’t know, he couldn’t help but raise some black lines on his forehead. When did his father have this kind of interest?
But a son has no choice but to listen to his father’s orders. He had to pack up the so-called medicinal materials. Qi Wenyu couldn’t help but look at the name, efficacy and treatment of the medicinal materials displayed on the computer page, and could not help but exclaim to his father: “Dad, you don’t know Chinese medicine, what are you going to do with these medicinal materials, and if you really like them, you could buy them directly from the pharmacy!”
“You don’t understand. There are no pharmacies for these herbs. Some people are even reluctant to sell them. I recently got an ancient recipe for medicinal wine. It’s said that the ancient recipe is used to make medicinal wine that even the Emperor would rush to drink!”
Qi Wenyu: “…”
Qi Wenyu didn’t know how to answer, and he felt that his father had been cheated!
But he was also smart. He knows he has to save face for his father. He nodded cleverly and continued to work obediently.
The father and son would clean up the medicine from morning until lunch, but Qi Wenyu was still a little proud when looking at the orderly medicine rack.
Because some herbs needed to be dried, cut or roughly ground, and some are better kept fresh, Qi Sheng didn’t plan to brew the medicine wine today. He looked at the cleaned herbs happily. They were all treasures. Searching for them in the wild was hard work.
