Chapter 173: Lin Cheng’s Interview
It wasn’t like Jia Hao was born with superior intelligence. He only gained the superhuman knowledge only after his cycles of unsuccessful reincarnations.
Qin Shiyu’s sipping speed increased when she saw Jia Hao taking barely a minute before marking on the paper.
” Hey, You aren’t even looking at it properly.” Qin Shiyu chided as she took a few of the papers seen by Jia Hao.
” Jia Hao, I am really going to scold you if you don’t check the papers properly.”
As Qin Shiyu grumbled, she looked through the answer sheets. However, her eyes widened when she saw the markings.
‘ He…He actually evaluated everything correctly. And, he even marked somewhat generous in some places.’
‘ Wait, How could he see an answer sheet this fast? His efficiency is like a computer!’
Qin Shiyu didn’t believe it and looked at the other sheets. To her surprise, she couldn’t find a single error at all.
‘ Fuck! He is really a genius!’
” Teacher Qin, I believe you said we are going to check the sheets together?” Jia Hao rolled his eyes. ” Now, Why are you leisuring while I am doing all the work, huh?”
” Uhh…Well…” Qin Shiyu scratched her cheek as she was also speechless.
” I think I sprained my arm. So, I am taking a small rest.” Qin Shiyu added. ” Besides, You should help your teacher sometimes, no?”
” Only if Teacher Qin asks me…Sweetly.”
” What do you mean by that?” Qin Shiyu straightened her back as she looked at Jia Hao.
” Well, Teacher Qin, Aren’t you a beauty?” Jia Hao chuckled. ” Shouldn’t you use your charm to make me work?”
” I…I don’t do such things.” Qin Shiyu blushed as she glared at Jia Hao.
Jia Hao stopped as he looked at Qin Shiyu. Both of them had a silent exchange for a few moments before Qin Shiyu gave up.
” Hmph, Just this time.”
” Ahem…Student Jia, Can you…Please, review these answer sheets for me?”
Jia Hao sighed. ” Rather than requesting in such a bland way, you better not request at all.”
Qin Shiyu rolled her eyes. ” Are you going to do it or not?”
” Well, What else choice do I have?” Jia Hao snorted lightly.
To Qing Shiyu’s surprise, Jia Hao took one hour to review all the answer sheets.
” Huuu, It’s done.” Jia Hao spoke as he leaned back on the chair. ” Happy now?”
” Of course, I am very happy.” Qin Shiyu smiled. ” That means I will have some free time this evening.”
” You have?” Jia Hao chuckled. ” Teacher Qin, Although you are so beautiful, You have no love interests yet, eh?”
” Wh-Who said that?” Qin Shiyu looked at Jia Hao.
” You are very bad at lying.” Jia Hao shook his head with amusement.
” So, What if I am single?” Qin Shiyu snorted lightly. ” It doesn’t mean anything.”
” Oh, It does, Teacher Qin.” Jia Hao added. ” It means, you are single and a man might pursue you.”
” Uhh…”
Qin Shiyu’s expression turned odd, but she couldn’t retort. What Jia Hao said was valid after all.
” So? Are you thinking of pursuing me?” Qin Shiyu asked with an interest.
” I will.”
Giving a stumped expression, Qin Shiyu couldn’t believe what she heard. ” Excuse me?”
” I mean, Why not?” Jia Hao purposed. ” Is it not every male student’s fantasy to hook up with a beautiful female teacher?”
” Also, Before you say anything, It’s not the sole reason.”
Qin Shiyu was going to retort, but Jia Hao managed to shut her up.
” Also, You have a nice and upright personality. Your heart is firm and determined. And…” Jia Hao smiled. ” I just want to help you, Teacher Qin.”
” Help me?”
” Help you to achieve your dreams? Or should I say…revenge?”
” Were you digging out my information?” Qin Shiyu looked at Jia Hao with a suspicious gaze.
Jia Hao shrugged. ” I just got to know, Teacher Qin. No need to be so serious.”
” There isn’t any information in this world I can’t get. So, You can relax.”
” Hmmm….”
Qin Shiyu didn’t believe Jia Hao fully. However, she couldn’t say anything to him either. After all, her background wasn’t like national level secret. Anyone with a bit of patience can dig out her past.
” So, What are you going to do with it?”
” Help you of course?” Jia Hao smiled. ” Didn’t I tell you? I am very motivated by the cause of your revenge. So, I will do my best to help you.”
” You are really trying to woo me, aren’t you?”
” Is there any problem?” Jia Hao chuckled. ” Ah, I see, Are you thinking about our relationship as teacher and student?”
” Can you not prompt my questions like that?” Qin Shiyu spoke in an annoyed voice.
” I know you know all my questions. But please, let me speak them, ok?”
Jia Hao chuckled as he nodded. ” It’s alright.”
Ahem. So I was saying…” Qin Shiyu cleared her throat. ” Jia Hao, you are a student and I am a teacher. We shouldn’t have such a relationship.”
” Well, We can.” Jia Hao grinned. ” After the school, who will judge us, Teacher Qin?”
” Besides, even in school, everything is fine till we don’t get caught, right?”
” Y-You!”
Jia Hao got up but he didn’t let Qin Shiyu raise her voice. ” I have to go back to the class, Teacher Qin. How about talking about this some other day?”
” Like when?”
” How about I take you for a coffee?” Jia Hao grinned. ” Tomorrow evening. I will send you the location.”
Qin Shiyu couldn’t say anything as she saw Jia Hao leaving her cabin.
‘ Haah, Am I seriously so desperate that I am giving a student a chance to date me?’
‘ I mean, he is kinda handsome though. But like…Really?’
However, Qin Shiyu couldn’t deny the strange thrill that she always felt near Jia Hao.

Jia Hao already received two missed calls from Lin Cheng. However, he deliberately didn’t respond.
After the class ended, Jia Hao called him back.
” Sorry, Uncle Lin, I was busy in the class. So, You wanted to talk with me?”
” Xiao Hao! Where are you right now?” Lin Cheng asked hurriedly.
” I am at school.”
” Well, Great! How about you pick Mei’er and come to my main mansion?”
” Ehh?”
Jia Hao was dumbfounded when he heard that. ‘ I thought he would ask me to go to office? Why did he ask me to bring Lin Mei with me?’
‘ No way! Is this old man trying to set his daughter with me?’
Feeling a strange loss of words, Jia Hao couldn’t help but ask. ” But what about Lin Mei’s car? Who is going to drive it if Lin Mei comes with me?”
” Well, Don’t worry about that. I will send someone to bring it back.”
Jia Hao had no choice but to agree. However, he didn’t have to look for Lin Mei as it was she who came to him with her own accord, with a big smile on her face.
” Well, Dad called me and asked to come to the mansion with you.”
” Are you sure it’s him who said that and not you who gave him this idea?”
” What do you think?”
Jia Hao rolled his eyes. ” Hmph, I guess someone is getting too cocky, eh? I guess I need to punish you to put me into your place.”
” Oh really?” Lin Mei smirked. ” Go ahead, Let me see if you can really punish me.”
‘ This bitch…’
Suddenly, Jia Hao felt a stinging sensation as he looked back. He saw Su Xing’er and Chu Yunli glaring at Jia Hao.
He also saw Su Lan looking at her with complicated eyes. However, Jia Hao merely smirked at them as he held Lin Mei’s hand.
” Well, Let’s go. I can’t wait to punish you.”
Sitting in his car, Jia Hao drove and took Lin Mei to the Lin Family mansion.
As they arrived, Lin Mei was stunned to see Lin Cheng standing at the door.
‘ I thought Dad just wanted to meet Jia Hao? Why is he looking so eager?’
” Ahaha, Xiao Hao, It looks like you got a nice car.” Lin Cheng saw Jia Hao and Lin Mei coming out of the car.
” Come with me, I asked the chefs to prepare some special dishes just for you.”
” Lin Mei, Why don’t you go and change? You can join us after freshening up.”
” Alright, Dad.”
Lin Mei nodded as she walked upstairs. Lin Cheng smiled as he took Jia Hao to the dining table. Jia Hao could see the various steaming dishes before him.
Washing his hands, he took a plate of crab rangoons and lobster rolls.
” So, Uncle Lin, What do you want to talk about?”
” Hoho, You still play such games, eh?” Lin Cheng chortled. ” As if you don’t know why I called you here?”
” So, Uncle Lin, You liked my gift?” Jia Hao chuckled. ” May I see the reports of the tests?”
” Sure, I have it.”
Jia Hao took the reports from Lin Cheng’s hands and flipped it. Although he expected quite a lot, the numbers on the report exceeded his expectations.
‘ Holy shit, this is real? Doesn’t that mean we can make lightweight super alloys with this?’ Jia Hao’s mind raced, but he remained calm.
” So, Do you understand what this means?” Lin Cheng asked with a bated breath.
” If I say simply…” Jia Hao smirked. ” All I can see is limitless profit.”
Lin Cheng’s eyes shone as he laughed out.” Hahaha! What an answer! I like it!”
” I have kept it a secret. However, everyone is proposing various ideas. What do you say, Xiao Hao? I believe you already have a plan.”
