I Studied Abroad in Modern Times - Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Invitation

“Yes! Yes! Eat for dinner!” the executive said, looking at Zheng Fa expectantly, his tone more polite than when he came last time: “I don’t know, is it convenient?”

“Uncle, please come in.”

Zheng Fa invited the executive’s father and son into the small courtyard, and the younger sister Zheng Shan moved two small stools over.

“Uncle Gao, you gave me this furniture.” Looking at the two small stools, Zheng Fa smiled and said, “I should have thanked my uncle long ago.”

“It’s nothing!” After hearing what Zheng Fa said, the executive waved his hands quickly, but the cautious look he had when he came in faded a lot.

“Uncle, what are you…”

“My dear nephew, I heard from Gao Yuan that you taught him a secret technique of the Immortal Family?” the senior executive put down his chopsticks and said cautiously.

“I can’t talk about the secret method of the Immortal Family.”

“Then it’s passed on!” The executive slapped his thigh and said his purpose; “I came here this time just to bring him here to thank you.”

“You brought a lot of food to the executive last time, but we haven’t finished the food yet.” Before Zheng Fa could speak, Zheng’s mother spoke.

“Madam, that’s nothing, it’s nothing compared to the Immortal Family’s secret method!” the executive said with disapproval.

Seeing that Zheng’s mother still wanted to refuse, he said, “I heard that Madam has always wanted to find a clothing store.”

Zheng Fa raised his head and glanced at him.

“My dear nephew, please don’t misunderstand me. You are so focused on studying and practicing martial arts that you don’t know that there are many people in the Zhao family watching you now.” The executive explained quickly.

Zheng Fa was not surprised. He had no foundation in the Zhao family, but now he was considered a figure regardless of whether he was big or small, so he naturally attracted attention.

But what the executive said about the clothing store made Zheng Fa more concerned. He looked at Zheng’s mother. Sure enough, Zheng’s mother’s expression was very hesitant.

Zheng’s mother had always wanted to do something to make money. She looked at Zheng Fa, who nodded lightly.

“If we can find a shop, we’ll have to worry about the executives.”

The executive’s family was overjoyed: “It just so happens that my wife’s brother has a shop in his name. Madam will be there in two days.”

After speaking, he took out a piece of paper and put it on the table.

“Wait…” Zheng Fa frowned: “What does my mother mean by going there?”

“The receiving shop!”

Zheng’s mother hurriedly said: “I just want to find a shop to take over some work.”

“Madam, this shop is not valuable. Hey… we are not outsiders. This is my shop and it is in the name of my brother-in-law.” The executive said frankly.

“Madam, if you have someone you trust, I will transfer this shop to him. If not, if you believe me, this shop will still be in the name of my brother-in-law. I will ask someone to send you the monthly income.”

This is indeed the normal state of the Zhao family.

Although you cannot have your own private property after signing the deed of sale, this kind of operation is too common when you reach the position of a senior executive.

I’m afraid Madam also knows it well.

Otherwise, why would so many people flock to the position of the Seventh Young Master as a book boy?

Zheng Fa was even sure that as long as he was in the Zhao Mansion, the money would be sent to him by his family.

Gao Yuan suddenly spoke: “Zheng Fa, just keep it. My father has more than one shop.”

Zheng Fa: …How about you cheat on me in front of me like this?

Sure enough, the senior executive’s face darkened, he glared at his stupid son, and then smiled bitterly at Zheng Fa and said: “Good nephew… I know that my family has taken a big advantage, but I feel that it is too little even if I take out more. If you don’t accept this store, I really can’t sleep…”

Zheng Fa looked at the executive’s family who had a look on his face that he won’t leave until he agrees, then looked at Gao Yuan beside him and nodded.

After the two left, Zheng’s mother looked at Zheng Fa blankly: “Our family has an extra shop?”

…

The senior executive who walked out of Zheng Fa’s house breathed a long sigh of relief.

Gao Yuan behind him asked doubtfully: “Dad, is this enough?”

“What’s enough? The Seventh Young Master said that Zheng Fa has great power behind him. This is the secret method of the Immortal Family. How can a shop do it? Our family is just here to show its attitude.” The executive glared at him: “In the future, please remember, Zheng Farang You go east, you can’t go west!”

“Our family is a servant of the Zhao family, listening to Zheng Fa?”

“…Anyway, as long as you don’t betray the Zhao family in the future, just listen to Zheng Fa!” “Then, what if there is a conflict between the seventh young master and Zheng Fa?”

“I think the seventh young master is also very afraid of the people behind Zheng Fa. I think Zheng Fa’s thighs are thicker than the seventh young master.” The executive gritted his teeth and said, “Stay with Zheng Fa!”

“Dad, if we are doing this…does it count as betraying the master?” Gao Yuan asked tangledly.

“Don’t talk about me. Dad is the housekeeper of the second house. What does the young master of the first house have to do with me?” The executive looked very confident.

“Then I am the young master’s book boy…”

“That’s right, you betrayed the Lord, but dad didn’t.”

…

“Wait wait wait…”

From the study, the seventh young master could be heard wailing: “I just blinked. How did it get to this point?”

He looked at Zheng Fa, who was deducing in front of him with a pen, his eyes full of clear doubts.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

“…It’s obvious!” Zheng Fa’s expression was also very confusing.

“Obviously? Why can’t I see it?” The seventh young master said unconvinced: “This secret method is too difficult!”

Gao Yuan on the side also had a grimace.

Neither of them are very good at learning.

The seventh young master has almost no knowledge or skills except for runes, and he can’t understand them no matter how hard he learns.

Gao Yuan was not bad in comparison. He had learned accounting from Mr. Accountant and could probably understand half of it, but it was very painful to learn.

Neither of them are the good brains Zheng Fa needs.

The teaching process even made him want to say sorry to Old Man Bai – it turns out that teaching an idiot can really be so painful.

In fact, due to caution, this “Junior High School Mathematics Volume 1” Zheng Fa has also been deleted, and most of it is about applications rather than more essential axioms.

But it is still a bit difficult to understand for two people who have not received modern education.

“Zheng Fa, do you have a simpler secret book?” The seventh young master seemed to think that he could not learn it, and begged Zheng Fa.

“Yes, there is.” Zheng Fa took out a copy of “Primary School Mathematics”.

“I knew you had a secret secret!” The seventh young master happily took it.

“I didn’t hide it. I learned this from my sister.”

The seventh young master stiffened his hands and asked, “How many sisters do you have?”

“The one you’ve seen is six years old.”

The Seventh Young Master and Gao Yuan looked at each other, and both saw similar tangled expressions on each other’s faces: I haven’t heard of any secret book of immortal magic, you have to be shameless to practice it!

…

The next day, the seventh young master seemed to have skipped school and did not come at all.

Butler Wu, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, was standing in the study, as if waiting for the two of them.

When he saw them entering the room, his eyes fell on Zheng Fa.

“Zheng Fa, madam, please tell me.”

“Please?” Gao Yuan was a little confused by the word “please”.

Zheng Fa seemed to have been waiting for this day for a long time. He nodded towards Steward Wu and said calmly: “I would like to ask Steward Wu to lead the way.”

This “Junior High School Mathematics” is for the seventh young master and also for his wife.

Since the beginning of practicing “Spiritual Crane Body”, Zheng Fa has been asking himself the same question repeatedly:

Madam, as a woman who has controlled a thousand-year-old family, and as a mother, suddenly there are some book boys with different backgrounds and out of control around her son.

What would she do?

And every answer he gave seemed less than optimistic.
