Meeting Master Again

At six o'clock in the evening, in the auditorium of Nankai University, the opening ceremony of the International Chemistry Olympiad officially began.

326 contestants from 84 countries and regions around the globe had gathered.

In the next few days, they would compete fiercely together.

The Vice President of Nankai University, the president of this Chemistry Olympiad, and concurrently the Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Chen Jun, took the stage to deliver the welcoming opening address.

Xu Jie and Shi Boyuan sat among the crowd, conversing with increasing rapport.

"Teacher Xu, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable in the field of medicine as well?"

When Shi Boyuan presented some of his development directions in the pharmaceutical industry, Xu Jie was actually able to offer some scientific and reasonable suggestions from his perspective.

This made Shi Boyuan respect Xu Jie even more in his heart.

"I have self-studied some knowledge of pharmacology before," Xu Jie said with a chuckle.

He couldn't tell Shi Boyuan that he had his own "secret."

However, this answer was clearly not enough to satisfy Shi Boyuan.

Self-studied some knowledge of pharmacology?

Then it would be impossible to make those scientific suggestions just now!

But everyone had their own secrets, and Shi Boyuan was not a child; naturally, he would not press for details.

"I never thought that Xiao Yu would actually represent our Dragon Country to participate in the International Chemistry Olympiad."

Shi Boyuan changed the subject, saying with a smile:

"In this aspect, he is much more outstanding than his old father."

"I remember back when I was studying at Zhenhua High School, my chemistry grades were also very good."

"But when I participated in the provincial chemistry competition, I was eliminated, haha."

Speaking of this, Shi Boyuan turned his head to express his gratitude:

"Teacher Xu, thank you very much indeed."

"Not only for teaching Xiao Yu so excellently, but also for helping the two of us, father and son, resolve all our misunderstandings."

Shi Boyuan spoke very sincerely.

On the competitive business battlefield, who could successfully build a trillion-dollar fortune without being an elite?

An established entrepreneur like him would rarely be so sincere with others.

Xu Jie smiled and shook his head.

"As a teacher of the people, isn't it my duty to help students overcome difficulties?"

"The reason Shi Mingyu is so outstanding is mainly because he himself has talent and has put in a lot of effort."

"When he first started participating in the chemistry competition, he spent almost every day in the chemistry laboratory."

"Even at night when the dormitory lights were turned off, he would light a lamp to study."

Talent only indicated that a person had the qualification and the door to rise.

But not everyone could realize their own talent.

Shi Mingyu's efforts were witnessed by Xu Jie.

Of course, it was mainly his few words from before that had truly stimulated Shi Mingyu's growth.

A student, once they had internally generated the motivation to study, the energy they could burst out with was incredibly shocking.

A wealthy young master of a trillion-dollar family like Shi Mingyu could push himself to that extent.

Xu Jie felt that his success was not accidental.

It was also the first time Shi Boyuan learned from Xu Jie's mouth that his son worked so hard at school.

In his heart, he couldn't help but feel guilty about his previous treatment of Shi Mingyu.

At this moment, looking at Shi Mingyu sitting in the front row, Shi Boyuan had many more plans to cultivate his son in his heart.

...

After the opening ceremony ended, Xu Jie did not linger in Tianjin.

He came to Tianjin this time, first, to cheer on and encourage Shi Mingyu, who was about to participate in the competition.

Second, it was to meet Shi Boyuan in person and establish contact with him.

This was to plan ahead for some future industrial development directions.

To put it more bluntly, it was to get acquainted.

After all, he was currently not just a teacher, but also held many different industries in his hands.

In the future, there would definitely be times when his path intersected with Shi Boyuan and his pharmaceutical industry in some production fields.

As the head of a trillion-dollar clan, Shi Boyuan's vision and direction were also not limited to the pharmaceutical industry.

After leaving Tianjin, Xu Jie took the high-speed train straight to the Imperial Capital.

Arriving at this familiar yet unfamiliar place, Xu Jie felt a bit emotional.

Previously, there was the excitement of being selected for the national team, followed by the mental depression of leaving the peak arena due to injury.

Thinking back to it now, Xu Jie still felt a mixture of emotions.

Exiting the station, Xu Jie went straight to the shopping mall.

He bought two boxes of fine tea and two bottles of aged wine.

Early the next morning, he appeared at a small residential community in Fengtai District.

With a nervous and excited mood, Xu Jie gently knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Who is it?"

From inside the room came the voice of an elderly woman.

Creak.

The door opened.

The elderly woman wearing an apron saw Xu Jie, and the spoon in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"Mistress."

Xu Jie's voice trembled slightly, and his face could hardly conceal his excitement.

If the students of Class 9 or other teachers of Zhenhua High School saw this scene, they would definitely be so shocked that their jaws would drop.

The most famous Teacher Xu in the school actually had times when he was so emotional and flustered?

Simply unbelievable!

"Ah Jie?"

"Is it really Ah Jie?"

"Quick, quick, quick, come in."

The elderly woman excitedly pulled Xu Jie's hand into the house while calling out loudly:

"Old man, come out and see who's here!"

The elderly woman's name was Bo Yimei, and she was Xu Jie's Mistress.

In her youth, she had been a member of the national swimming team.

When Xu Jie was injured before, he had stayed at his master's house.

Therefore, he was very familiar with this place.

After entering the house, looking at the familiar layout in the room, Xu Jie felt a soreness in his nose, and the corners of his eyes were also a bit moist.

"Who is it?"

"So noisy!"

From the room, a tall, thin man with white hair but a ruddy complexion walked out.

When he saw Xu Jie, the old man's facial muscles twitched, but he quickly restored his composure.

He was Xu Jie's master, a veteran figure in the long jump arena of the Dragon Country, Yang Junxiang.

"Master!" Xu Jie saw the old man, took two steps forward, and called out happily.

Yang Junxiang gave a soft snort.

"You brat, do you still remember you have me as your Master?"

"It's been so long since you last came here."

Facing Yang Junxiang's scolding, Xu Jie, who was always calm and composed, was now like a student who had done something wrong, standing obediently to one side, not daring to speak loudly.

"What are you doing, what are you doing?"

Bo Yimei held the clean spoon in her hand and tapped Yang Junxiang's arm.

"Ah Jie finally came after so much difficulty."

"What are you putting on airs for?"

"Go get the bowls and scoop the noodles!"

Yang Junxiang was just about to put on airs for a few more sentences, but he was stopped by Bo Yimei's glare.

Xu Jie had long been familiar with this scene during his days here.

He hurriedly took the spoon from his Mistress's hand.

"Mistress, let me, let me do it."

Not long after, three bowls of Beijing fried sauce noodles were placed on the dining table.

Xu Jie took a bite, as if returning to that summer of that year.
