Chapter 219: Chapter 162: Master Qin’s Influence_2

Then he discovered that as soon as he arrived in Gusu, Qin Huai had left.

Zheng Da: QAQ

Zheng Da glanced at the message and continued kneading the dough with a displeased look.

Since Qin Huai wasn’t around, Wang Jun, who was back to his chopping board duties, was rarely curious and asked Dong Shi beside him.

"Why did Junior Master Zheng suddenly decide to cook today, and look like he doesn’t really want to?"

The well-informed Dong Shi immediately shared the gossip: "I heard it was because he had dinner with Mr. Gong last night and got flattered a bit, so he agreed to make some dumplings for Mr. Gong."

Wang Jun was genuinely surprised: "What did Mr. Gong say to make Junior Master Zheng happy enough to agree to make guo’er?"

This was really a rare event, usually only happening to Huang Shengli. Zheng Da is the kind who’s hard to persuade, not moved by either coaxing or coercion, let alone sweet talk.

Lowering his voice, Dong Shi said, "I’m not quite sure, don’t tell anyone."

"It seems Mr. Gong said that Junior Master Zheng has a good eye for talent, seeing Master Qin’s potential at first glance, and surely he could take Master Qin as his Closed-door Disciple."

Wang Jun: ...

Dong Shi glanced at Zheng Da over there, seeing Zheng Da hadn’t heard, whispered, "I think Junior Master Zheng is a bit delusional."

"Indeed, everyone has their own way of being scammed."

Zheng Siyuan, who was slightly closer to Dong Shi, heard this.

He thought what Dong Shi said made a lot of sense, that his dad was somewhat delusional, and needed to knead more dough to clear his head.

Zheng Siyuan continued kneading dough, thinking about the big spoon stir-frying technique while doing so.

Elsewhere, Qin Huai, bored on the plane, opened the game panel to watch the guo’er’s video tutorials.

Sitting alone on the plane, clicking in the air, seemed quite strange, but Qin Huai was in first class, with no one in the next seat. Even if the flight attendant noticed, she wouldn’t directly ask, "Sir, are you having a medical emergency and do we need to check if a doctor is on the plane?"

Qin Huai watched without any restraint.

After watching the apple dough ball video tutorial, he checked out the locust flower buns tutorial, and finally a simple walkthrough of the Longevity Noodles.

Qin Huai felt that although the locust flower buns were at a high level, the tutorial really didn’t offer much to see.

The techniques were too advanced, lacking anything of learning value.

Master-level tutorials are meant for masters, and he wasn’t at that level yet. Watching such tutorials was akin to reading a script in a foreign language.

In contrast, the apple dough ball tutorial was genuinely suitable for Qin Huai’s current level. Although he couldn’t master the meat cooking part, he understood it. The pastry part he could learn and comprehend, even surpass it in some ways, yet it also had its merits.

Qin Huai deeply felt that the apple dough ball tutorial was ever-refreshing.

As for the Gastrodia stewed pigeon tutorial...

It’s best not to watch. Watching too much may easily contaminate the database.

After happily watching tutorials for the entire flight, Qin Huai landed and transferred to a high-speed train. Gong Liang somehow found out that Qin Huai was returning today and already on the plane, sending him quite a few WeChat messages.

Usually, Qin Huai would just read without replying. There was a significant risk in responding to Gong Liang’s messages; once you replied, it was easy to get entangled, and once entangled, it was easy to have your heart swayed.

Qin Huai considered that Gong Liang was fortunate to be a spirit from the Classic of Mountains and Seas; if he were a spirit from Liao Zhai, he would undoubtedly be the kind who is skilled at beguiling hearts, enticing humans with various jewelry and prosperity.

Today was different; Qin Huai was a bit bored on the high-speed train, so he chatted with Gong Liang for a bit.

Gong Liang was genuinely helping Qin Luo find famous teachers.

Gong Liang stated that Qin Luo, although not performing well in subjects like math, physics, chemistry, geography, computer science, etc., was remarkably good at English, even starkly excelling compared to other subjects. This could suggest a talent for learning languages.

When resources are limited, developing a child can only be done broadly. But now that they have the resources, it should be focused development.

Gong Liang had resources in Spanish, German, Russian, Arabic, and French famous teachers. If Qin Luo truly has this linguistic talent, why not consider some less common languages like Arabic, which might be beneficial for the child’s future?

Qin Huai was immediately convinced, feeling Gong Liang made a lot of sense. He instantly asked for the teachers’ WeChat contact, prepared to invest a large sum for a rigorous one-on-one tutoring session for Qin Luo.

During regular school times, this definitely couldn’t fit into the schedule, but the winter break could be fully utilized. Qin Huai thought about bringing Qin Luo to Gusu for a period of one-on-one language tutoring after Shuanghai High School’s holiday. This way, Qin Luo would have something to do during the break and could also enjoy some good food.

Oh, he really was a considerate good brother.

After Qin Huai neatly arranged Qin Luo’s winter break, the high-speed train arrived at the station. This time, Qin Huai didn’t need to be picked up and returned to the apartment Zheng Da rented for him with his luggage.

The apartment, left unoccupied for two days, was still very clean. Zheng Da had carefully considered everything when renting the apartment, not only renting it but also hiring a cleaner to come every afternoon.

After learning that Zheng Da helped him with the apartment, Gong Liang also equipped Qin Huai with some smart appliances and slipped some money to the cleaner to buy fresh fruits and delicious snacks every day.

Qin Huai placed his suitcase in the room, went to the living room, and opened a small pack of spicy strips. He also picked a bright yellow mandarin orange that looked sweet, alternating between a bite of spicy strip and a bite of mandarin. The combination of sour, spicy, and sweet was a peculiar taste and a wonderful experience.
