C106 Argument

Ann Qianxi dialed Prof. Du's cell phone. After the phone rang a few times, a slightly unfamiliar voice came over.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?"

"Ann Qianxi, Prof. Du, do you still remember me?"

"Oh!" Ann Qianxi? You must be that tall and thin girl from back then. I haven't seen you for so many years. There was a touch of surprise in his voice.

Ann Qianxi seemed to have disappeared after graduation, but fortunately, he had a good impression of this girl from back then. The two of them had a genuine relationship as a teacher and student.

"Also … "It's pretty good..."

"It's been so many years, you should have gotten married by now, right?" There was a hint of a smile in Prof. Du's words.

Back in school, Ann Qianxi and Chi Shaojun could be considered a match made in heaven.

"I …" Ann Qianxi smiled bitterly. When she heard her former teacher's question, she could not help but feel a little sour in her heart.

She counted with her fingers. If there hadn't been so many accidents, she would have been married to Chi Shaojun a long time ago.

However, Chi Shaojun was from the heavens, and he was someone who looked up at him from the ground.

"Prof. Du, I'm still single right now."

"Cough, cough." An awkward cough came over the phone. He had said the wrong thing.

Ann Qianxi got straight to the point. "I came to you because I have something I want to trouble you with. I want to start a business now, but I don't know if you have any good suggestions. If you have time, I'll drop by the school to see you.

Prof. Du was not a bad person. When he heard that his student wanted to learn how to start a business, he agreed without hesitation.

Ann Qianxi slightly tidied up her makeup in front of the mirror, then indicated that Wang Ge would be going out on his own.

"Where is Miss Ann going?"

"Business!" Ann Qianxi answered matter-of-factly. As she walked in front, her high heels made a sound of 'bang'.

Wang Ge only asked for the address when the two of them got into the car.

Along the way, Wang Ge chatted with Ann Qianxi.

"Miss Ann, why would you suddenly think of starting a business? This is a huge risk, don't you find my words unpleasant. It would be good if you could earn money, but if you can't, then you will have to take the risk of your current life! "

He heard Ann Qianxi's words with a hint of cuteness in her tone. "You're right. You're not wrong at all."

"Then Miss Ann is still …" Before Wang Ge could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ann Qianxi's soft and gentle voice.

"It's because of this that I want to start a business. People who are afraid of losing and give up on the chance of success are people who will never have the chance to succeed."

Through the mirror, Wang Ge saw a confident smile at the corner of the woman's mouth, and admiration rose involuntarily in his heart.

"Miss Ann is a brave and courageous person, unlike me, who is already very careful about her current life. Although I am a man, I am not as daring as Miss Ann to venture into these places. "

He smiled bitterly and continued, "My most important thing right now is my family. My sister is still at school and there are two old people to take care of at home. I have so many mouths to feed. The burden is too great."

"Would you consider starting a business without all this?"

Wang Ge was surprised, he didn't expect the other party to ask such a question. After thinking for a while, he continued, "Maybe."

Look, that's right, these things are not because you're not brave enough, but because reality is too cruel. It can't give you a better environment, but don't be discouraged.

Hearing her words, Wang Ge let go of his hand that was holding the steering wheel. He scratched his head embarrassedly and thanked her in a low voice.

The Xucheng Polytechnic University was rather far away from the hospital where Ann Dong'er was located, but fortunately, as the two of them chatted on the way, time felt faster.

When they arrived at the rendezvous point, Ann Qianxi was lost in thought as she looked at the familiar coffee shop behind them.

"You're as punctual as ever."

A pair of hands that were as big as firewood patted Ann Qianxi's shoulder from behind. She turned around and saw that it was Prof. Du.

After so many years, Prof. Du seemed to have become thinner than before. His skin was tightly wrapped around a skeleton. It was likely that when the wind blew, his whole body would sway with the wind.

"Prof. Du." she whispered, with a gentle smile.

"Let's talk inside."

Inside the coffee shop, the three of them found a table near the window and sat down.

Ann Qianxi ordered a glass of cappuccino for each of them while she ordered a glass of ice cream for herself. At this moment, there weren't many people in the restaurant, so the waiter quickly prepared all three cups of coffee.

She inserted a straw into the cup and a familiar taste ran down her throat.

Wang Ge was obviously not used to the coffee. He just took a sip and put it down with a frown.

"If it's too bitter, you can ask the waiter for some sugar." Ann Qianxi said with a smile.

"No need, I really can't get used to drinking this stuff. It's like the taste of Chinese medicine. Even Chinese medicine isn't so bad …" Wang Ge muttered in a low voice, so he didn't disturb the two of them from getting down to business.

As the two of them spoke, they were talking about boring, professional terms. That made Wang Ge feel even more bored.

Smoking was not allowed in the cafe. Not long later, Wang Ge, who was a smoker, couldn't hold it in any longer. He got up and said that he was waiting for Ann Qianxi outside.

This was exactly what Ann Qianxi wanted. With only Prof. Du and her left at the table, the two of them seemed to be more relaxed.

Seizing this rare opportunity to be free, Ann Qianxi considered her words and said, "Prof. Du, I haven't come back to see you guys for a long time. I wonder how is Mistress doing now."

"She's still the same as always. She's exhausted every day from her research projects. In our line of work, she's both decent and relaxed, and the suffering she has gone through is something only she knows." When he spoke, his eyes would complete the crescent shape, giving Ann Qianxi a strong sense of security.

Ann Qianxi suggested, "Why don't I go see my wife? What's more, I haven't come back for so long, and I don't even have the chance to look at the campus."

Prof. Du nodded: "You youngsters are busy with work, so you don't have time to come back and see us. However, as long as you can remember us, we will be very happy."

As he spoke, the two of them got up and walked towards the door.
