After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal Chapter 27

Chapter 27

Inviting You to Teach at No. 1 High School
It’s him, that Huo Jinyan—the only heir of the Huo family, and he even had that sort of attitude. And I’m supposed to ask him if he wants to come be a teacher at my school?
Is he mad, or is Huo Jinyan mad?
And, if Huo Jinyan really agreed, then the world must have gone mad.
“Uncle Meng, Uncle Shen.”
Huo Jinyan had walked over to greet them.
Meng Qian smiled and nodded. “Jinyan, you really are here in A City, when your grandfather told me I didn’t quite believe him. Come, I’ll bring you to your aunt, she even mentioned you a few days ago.”
Huo Jinyan nodded and started to walk away.
Meng Qian patted Shen Guang’s shoulder. “I’ll bring him away first. Think about what you’re going to say.”
With that, he left, stifling his laughter.
Shen Guang sat in his seat gloomily, speechless.
…
Old Master Zhou’s youngest daughter was called Zhou Ke. She had a good personality and could make conversation with anyone.
“Ke’ke, Jinyan’s here.”
Meng Qian called out to Zhou Ke, who happened to be talking to someone else.
Zhou Ke continued to respond to the other person until she saw Huo Jinyan.
After excusing herself politely, she went straight towards Huo Jinyan.
“Jinyan, why are you here? Your grandfather’s so furious with you, he has half the mind to chase you down.”
Zhou Ke frequented the capital to visit her parents, and ever since the Zhou family began to interact more with the Huo family she often saw Huo Jinyan in the capital.
Zhou Ke did not really care if people were completely forthcoming with her while speaking, and that allowed her to say a few words to Huo Jinyan. Typically, Huo Jinyan would answer if he could, otherwise he would just listen to her; he did not seem to mind regardless.
Huo Jinyan did not say anything upon hearing this.
Zhou Ke looked at him and asked, “What important matter are you here for this time?”
She even lowered her voice.
Huo Jinyan looked at her, who was still as distant and aloof as ever, but his tone was a little gentler. “There’s some personal matters.”
Zhou Ke wanted to add something, but Meng Qian stopped her.
“Ke’ke, why don’t you get the children and let them meet Jinyan.”
Zhou Ke glanced at the two of them. In the end, she did not say anything and turned around to look for the two children.
“Jinyan, your auntie is always like that. Don’t mind her.”
Huo Jinyan shook his head, he did not mind it at all.
“How was it? Did things go well?”
“Not too bad, it went quite well.”
Meng Qian nodded. “You’ve always been very dependable. If you need anything, just tell me.”
“Okay.”
The two children who had just been fooling around became docile like rabbits once they walked up to Huo Jinyan. After greeting him, they made up an excuse to slip away.
Zhou Ke and Meng Qian also had to greet the other guests, and left.
Shen Guang was sitting at his original spot, brooding, when Huo Jinyan arrived.
“Uncle Shen, long time no see.”
Shen Guang stood up immediately.
“Jinyan, long time no see.”
Shen Guang smiled. “Shall we sit together?”
Huo Jinyan was surprisingly accommodating; he nodded and the two of them sat down together.
Shen Guang was an elder, and he was technically in charge of the entire Shen family and the research institute. He would not be intimidated in front of a junior like Huo Jinyan.
“How long have you been here?”
“A week.”
Shen Guang nodded. “Are you getting used to this place?”
“Not too bad.”
Shen Guang nodded again. “That’s great.”
Unexpectedly, Huo Jinyan took the initiative to say, “Uncle Shen seems to have been here for a long time.”
“Yes, I come here occasionally to take a look around. Now I’m a principal at No. 1 High School.”
Huo Jinyan did not ask further.
Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Shen Guang could not help but smile and say, “Jinyan, I recall that you graduated from Beijing University. If you weren’t so busy I would’ve invited you to teach at No. 1 High School.”
After saying that, he observed Huo Jinyan’s expression.
“Sure.”
