Chapter 106

What Shen Wei is most focused on now is Zhao Jie's learning progress. This child is certified by the System as a local genius.

He is currently taking supplementary lessons from Su Jun as well.

Apparently, Professor Liu has also been paying close attention to him.

He specifically sought out Su Jun to ask how the child has been learning recently.

Su Jun is quite conscientious and responsible.

It was under his guidance that He Lingfeng made remarkable progress at the beginning.

Su Jun said, "Zhao Jie does not learn as quickly as He Lingfeng, but once he has learned something, he grasps it firmly. His learning is exceptionally solid."

No one else can match He Lingfeng's ability to complete an entire grade's worth of knowledge points in just one hour.

If this were told to his classmates, they would not believe it.

Although Zhao Jie's learning progress is slower than He Lingfeng's, it is still faster than other children.

Su Jun also remarked with a hint of awe, "Before meeting He Lingfeng and Zhao Jie, I was considered highly praised from a young age, but now I realize that there are always greater people and even greater heights."

Shen Wei smiled and said, "I can rest assured leaving him in your care. If any teaching materials or anything else need to be purchased, go ahead and buy them first, then submit the receipts to the accountant for reimbursement."

Su Jun replied, "Understood."

He still hopes to create another miracle like He Lingfeng.

Su Jun truly marvels that encountering someone like He Lingfeng in a lifetime is already considered an eye-opening experience.

Yet, he has now encountered two such individuals.

He is immensely excited.

After chatting with Su Jun for a while and making the necessary arrangements, Shen Wei started to leave but noticed a timid little child peeking at her from the corner.

As soon as Shen Wei approached, the little one immediately hid, leaving only a corner of their clothes visible.

It was Mu Zhixing.

Shen Wei approached and said, "Why are you here?"

At that moment, Mu Zhixing was holding a painting she had just completed - a wall of hibiscus flowers.

Upon seeing Shen Wei, she shyly handed the painting to her.

Shen Wei was pleasantly surprised. True to her talent as a painting prodigy, she had captured the floral shapes remarkably well after only learning for a short time. The colors she used were also vibrant and striking.

Shen Wei pinched the little one's cheeks affectionately. The child was shy.

In her previous home, Mu Zhixing held a low status.

Not only was she beaten and scolded by her mother, but she was also humiliated by her younger sister.

After coming here, every teacher has treated her kindly, an immense kindness the little one had never experienced before.

He couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.

Previously, when teaching Mu Zhixing, he only saw that the child had a talent for painting.

As someone so focused on his craft, he was completely unaware of the child's original family situation.

It was only by chance that he heard about it from the calligraphy teacher.

Qi Zhong was almost infuriated.

He could hardly bear to imagine what the child would have faced if Shen Wei hadn't rescued her from that cruel birth mother and stepfather with disturbing tendencies.

To Shen Wei, Qi Zhong is grateful.

Years ago, it was because of a student's issue that Qi Zhong suffered a major career setback.

It's hard to say whether he regretted it later or not.

But if it were Mu Zhixing's case, he would have done the same thing.

His personality simply cannot tolerate any slight injustice.

Coupled with his protectiveness, seeing his own students being mistreated would be even more painful than being mistreated himself.

Furthermore, Qi Zhong had previously suffered a major setback in life due to a student-related incident, so he deeply resonates with and approves of Shen Wei's actions to stand up for her students, as they are kindred spirits.

The only difference is that Qi Zhong's actions were too extreme back then, ruining his prospects.

Apparently, even after such a major incident, Mu Zhixing's birth mother still hasn't divorced this stepfather.

Fortunately, the law is fair and just, and this man has been arrested.

He lost his job, and now he has no choice but to face issues like moving homes.

Because no one wants to be in the same neighborhood as someone like him.

Qi Zhong has developed a closer relationship with Mu Zhixing.

This child may have developed a deep psychological scar from the trauma inflicted by her stepfather.

She has an innate aversion to men and is much more comfortable with women.

She especially adores Shen Wei.

Sometimes, a single word of praise from Shen Wei can make the little girl jump around gleefully all day.

His care for his disciple has touched Qi Zhong's heart, and he has come to respect Shen Wei even more as a teacher.

Qi Zhong said to Shen Wei, "Could you let me scan this painting first?"

He collects Mu Zhixing's paintings and plans to publish a collection for her in the future.

Shen Wei agreed. He carefully took the painting to scan it.

Afterwards, he repeatedly reminded Shen Wei to preserve it properly.

He repeated himself so many times that it almost became rude, but he couldn't help it.
