Chapter 18

PS: Today, Mom was watching TV at home, and I was typing away. Suddenly, Mom exclaimed in surprise, "Son, you're on TV!" I immediately dropped the keyboard and rushed to the TV. When I looked, the screen showed a pig eating in an agricultural program! What a sad story!

"Mom, I'm back, OMO, I'm so tired, the weather outside is really too hot, give me a glass of iced juice!" When she got home, Jiang Zhiying immediately took off her high heels and changed into a pair of comfortable slippers. She lay down on the sofa and shouted to her mother.

"Zhiying, you're back!" Jiang Zemin saw his daughter lying on the sofa and said with a happy face.

"Dad, why are you at home today? That's so rare, no business dinners?" Seeing her father, Jiang Zhiying immediately jumped up from the sofa and rushed into her father's arms.

"Missed you, daughter. I knew you had time today, so I turned down all the business dinners!" Jiang Zemin fondly patted Jiang Zhiying's head and said with a smile.

"Dad, you're so nice!" Jiang Zhiying said happily after hearing Jiang Zemin's words.

However, at this moment, Jiang Zemin's wife came out of the kitchen with a glass of iced juice in her hand. Looking at Jiang Zhiying's current state, she said helplessly, "Hey, look at you, acting so crazy. We have guests coming soon, so you need to be more careful!"

"Ah... guests? What kind of guests?" Jiang Zhiying took a sip of the juice and looked at Jiang Zemin.

Jiang Zemin chuckled and said to Jiang Zhiying, who was drinking the juice, "It's the apprentice of my friend. He's a top student from Seoul University. When he comes, you need to behave well. Your mother and I want him to help you with your studies. To be honest, your grades this time were really bad!"

"Uh...!" Regarding her poor grades, Jiang Zhiying actually had nothing to say, because they were indeed bad. Mainly because after her debut, she had less time for herself, so her studies naturally fell behind. However, there was no way around it; she preferred her acting career. She could only try harder when she had fewer commitments. So, she was a bit resistant to the idea of a tutor. She immediately pouted and coaxed Jiang Zemin, "Dad, I don't want a tutor. When I have time, I can catch up on my studies. Why should I trouble him?"

Jiang Zemin chuckled. Seeing his daughter cooing was a kind of happiness, but her future was a bigger issue. So, he immediately rejected her without hesitation, "No room for negotiation. The person we hired for you is a genius. It's hard to get his commitment. This is an opportunity. If we miss it, we might regret it for the rest of our lives!"

"That's right, Zhiying. The Seoul University student your dad mentioned has an IQ over 150, a genius!" Jiang Zemin's wife added.

"What...? IQ over 150? Don't joke, Dad. Are you being scammed? People with an IQ over 150 should already be in a prodigy school, not Seoul University!" Jiang Zhiying said disbelievingly.

However, seeing Jiang Zhiying's disbelief and his wife's skepticism, Jiang Zemin immediately reminded them, "You can disbelieve, but I'll prove to you how talented he is later. But there's one thing I want you to remember: the fact that his IQ is over 150 can only be known by our family of three. Don't tell anyone else!" Seeing the mother and daughter's curious looks, Jiang Zemin immediately said, "Don't ask why. It's a secret! Now... those who need to cook, cook, and those who need to watch TV, watch TV!"

Then Jiang Zemin left, probably to think of some questions, leaving the mother and daughter staring at each other. Suddenly, a burning smell came, and Jiang Zemin's wife immediately screamed, "Oh, my fish!" She then ran into the kitchen in a panic.

Jiang Zhiying laughed heartily at her flustered mother.

.........................................

It was around 6 PM, and the doorbell rang at the Jiang Zemin household. Jiang Zhiying immediately changed from lying on the sofa watching TV to a straight and proper posture. Jiang Zemin immediately came out of his study and called, "I'll open the door! It should be Zhihao."

Sure enough, when Jiang Zemin opened the door, Park Zhihao stood outside with a box of apple juice in his hand, his face covered with stubble.

Jiang Zemin immediately welcomed Park Zhihao warmly, "Come in, come in!" He gave Park Zhihao a pair of slippers and said, "Change into these!" After Park Zhihao changed into the slippers and entered the living room, Jiang Zhiying and her mother were already waiting. Both of them looked at Park Zhihao's appearance and had the same thought: how could someone so old still be a student?

However, seeing Jiang Zemin introduce Park Zhihao enthusiastically, Jiang Zhiying and her mother politely greeted him, trusting their husband and father.

Soon, Jiang Zemin's wife called for dinner. The meal was of high standards, almost all meat dishes, which made both Park Zhihao and Jiang Zhiying very happy. Park Zhihao also sweetly complimented, "Aunt, your cooking is delicious!" Being called "aunt" by someone who looked so old made Jiang Zemin's wife feel a bit strange.

The meal lasted over an hour, and Park Zhihao's stomach was round. After clearing the table, Jiang Zemin and his wife went to the kitchen to prepare fruit. In the kitchen, Jiang Zemin's wife said to Jiang Zemin, "When can I see the IQ of your friend's nephew? I haven't seen your genius at all from the beginning, but he does look very old for his age!"

Hearing his wife's words, Jiang Zemin was speechless but quickly said, "Soon, when we chat while eating fruit, I'll show you how talented he is. Get ready to use your phone's calculator; it will give you a more intuitive understanding of what a genius is!"

"I'll wait and see!" Jiang Zemin's wife chuckled.

Meanwhile, outside, Park Zhihao wanted to get closer to Jiang Zhiying. He needed to get the lead role in the TARA MV, so he had to look younger and more handsome. His current old-fashioned appearance was definitely not suitable. Park Zhihao didn't know what to do at first, but now he saw an opportunity. If he could get her help, he could achieve his goal more easily!

So, Park Zhihao looked at Jiang Zhiying, who was sitting on the sofa with him, and wanted to get closer. He subtly moved a bit closer to Jiang Zhiying, but to his dismay, Jiang Zhiying felt him move and awkwardly smiled, then moved a bit away. Seeing Jiang Zhiying keep her distance, Park Zhihao was speechless. What was going on?

Park Zhihao was frustrated. In prison, he learned everything except how to chat with women, as the prison was full of men and not even a female mosquito. Looking at Jiang Zhiying sitting next to him, Park Zhihao had no idea what to say next. They both awkwardly smiled.
