Chapter 145.5
Liu Xing was shocked to discover that Yang Kong had already dropped out of school. However, this only strengthened Liu Xing’s belief that Yang Kong was indeed a member of the Yi people.
Thinking about this, Liu Xing continued to speak to Professor Yang, "Professor Yang, if Yang Kong drops out of school at such a young age, it will have a significant impact on his future development. After all, in today’s society, education is highly valued. You must be aware of this, Professor Yang."
"What can I do? The child refuses to go to school, and I’m at a loss. I owe him too much, and now I just want him to live a free and happy life. Besides, I’m making a good income from this internet addiction treatment center, with an annual salary of over 800,000 RMB. It’s not a problem at all." Professor Yang sighed helplessly and began to flaunt his wealth in front of Liu Xing.
In 2003, an annual income of 800,000 RMB was considered quite substantial. Liu Xing still remembered writing an essay in elementary school about his dream of becoming a millionaire.
Looking back, Liu Xing felt that this was a dark chapter in his life. While other kids wrote about becoming scientists, doctors, or pursuing other noble professions, he was the only one who wrote about making money.
Getting back to the topic, Liu Xing shook his head and spoke seriously to Professor Yang, "Professor Yang, your thinking is misguided. Even if you’re wealthy, you should still provide Yang Kong with better education. Although Yang Kong may be able to live comfortably under your care, his reputation will suffer in the eyes of others. Moreover, if Yang Kong drops out of school at such a young age, he may develop a introverted personality, which is not desirable. You should know that, Professor Yang."
Professor Yang was taken aback by Liu Xing’s words and replied with a hint of helplessness, "Liu Xing, you’re right. If Yang Kong develops an introverted personality, it’s not a good thing. However, I can’t force him to go to school now, because, as you know, children at this age don’t listen. Yang Kong’s classmates... Ah..."
Professor Yang trailed off, but Liu Xing understood his implication. After all, Liu Xing was once a student himself and knew that some middle school students, due to their incomplete cognitive development, might lack social skills and enjoy mocking others’ weaknesses. Yang Kong’s classmates might be using his lack of a mother to tease him.
Professor Yang thought for a moment before nodding in agreement, "Liu Xing, you’re right. This is a good idea. Yang Kong has been staying in his room reading books every day, so he must still have the desire to learn. Can you help me find a suitable summer camp for Yang Kong? I think it’s better than a tutoring class, since Yang Kong has already dropped out for a while, and a tutoring class might not be effective. A summer camp would be more engaging, don’t you think?"
Liu Xing was now suspicious, wondering if Addison had deceived him. Judging from Professor Yang’s attitude towards Addison, it was unlikely that Addison had obtained any authorization from Professor Yang.
As expected, Professor Yang furrowed his brow, looking annoyed, and said, "How could I possibly give that troublesome guy any permission? When I left, I told him to wait at the bottom of the stairs, and then Captain Luo would arrange his accommodation. After all, we should show hospitality to foreign friends. I didn’t expect him to... Ah, this isn’t your fault, I just forgot to tell you about it earlier."
Liu Xing nodded nervously, looking concerned, and said, "Professor Yang, I was deceived by Addison, so I took him to see the Electric Therapy Devices we use. This shouldn’t be a problem, should it?"
Professor Yang thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It should be okay. That foreigner is just a journalist, not a professional."
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, sensing that Professor Yang’s words were hinting at something. To put it simply, Professor Yang was also aware that the Electric Therapy Devices in his possession would likely be recognizable as fake by professionals.
However, Liu Xing pretended not to understand, continuing, "Professor Yang, this foreigner came prepared. He told me that before coming here, he had specifically researched various Electric Therapy Devices and was convinced that the ones in Treatment Room 1 were counterfeit because he had never seen the logo on them before..."
Liu Xing noticed Professor Yang’s face growing increasingly unpleasant, so he honestly shut up.
On the surface, Liu Xing looked anxious, but he was actually very happy, as he was likely to obtain some useful information from Professor Yang.
