Chapter 81: The Pearl Is Covered in Dust but Its Brilliance Cannot Be Obscured (33)
Gu Wenjing answered the students' questions patiently as before. He took a pen and wrote down one equation after another on the notebook, but he was a little absent-minded.
"Grandpa Gu, you speak too fast, I don't understand." Yun Gou'er spoke frankly. He could naturally raise his doubts without worrying about disappointing people and being nervous about his learning progress like in the original plot.
Gu Wenjing took a second to react and smiled apologetically, "I'll say it again."
"Grandpa Gu, are you thinking about the teacher?" Yun Gou'er looked gossipy.
The other students seemed to be studying seriously, but suddenly they all raised their heads at this moment, their eyes glowing green.
"The teacher said you are a friend of his teacher, so did Grandpa Gu know the teacher a long time ago? Did the teacher always get the first place in school when he was a child?"
Zhou Xiaoya held her face with both hands, "Teacher Shen is so amazing, I think he is the smartest person in the world!"
"On the contrary." Gu Wenjing said half-truthfully: "He used to be very ordinary, and people had no impression of him at all."
"Liar, Grandpa Gu lied to children." The children accused one after another.
Gu Wenjing said seriously: "Otherwise, you can come back to Kyoto with me, and I will take you to ask Minghuan's teacher."
The children looked at Gu Wenjing's "sincere" face, and didn't know whether to believe it or not.
Yun Gou'er looked suspicious: "You are not trying to trick us into going to Kyoto, are you?"
Gu Wenjing smiled slightly and didn't comment.
Zhang Jingchang asked curiously: "Didn't you ask Comrade Shen before?"
"I asked, but the teacher didn't say."
"The teacher never told us about his past."
"That's right, Teacher Shen is very mysterious."
"He is always alone, and I don't know what he is busy with."
It can be seen that the students are very interested in Shen Minghuan's past, and they can't help but complain after many setbacks.
Gu Wenjing listened with a smile on his face, but his heart was bitter.
Shen Minghuan is indeed mysterious, and even they know very little about him. He has always walked through that unknown and heavy period alone.
No one to rely on, no partner to show his vulnerability. He couldn't even say the difficulties and twists and turns along the way.
"But we know that Teacher Shen is the best in the world." The children finished their words with a lingering feeling and ended with this sentence.
Song Youcai looked around nervously and said mysteriously: "I think Teacher Shen has magic, the kind that can turn stones into gold. Every time he goes to the city, he will make a lot of money."
"When my eldest brother and I first followed Teacher Shen to the city, we went to the factory to buy equipment. The teacher didn't have enough money, so I and my eldest brother negotiated the price."
Song Youcai lowered his voice, "But after that, the teacher never bargained, even bought two donkey carts!"
Zhao Jun pushed him and shouted: "Grandpa Gu, don't listen to Song Youcai's nonsense. There is no magic in this world. The teacher's money is earned by himself."
"You are talking nonsense. Can you make so much money in such a short time?" Song Youcai was not convinced, "This must be magic."
"Don't argue, what's the point of quarreling." Yun Gouer used the dignity of being the class monitor to stop this farce.
Gu Wenjing wanted to persuade him not to be so serious, but Yun Gou'er clenched his fist and coughed like a little adult, and then said in a lower voice, "Actually, I have inside information."
Gu Wenjing laughed.
"The teacher's money was given by others." Yun Gou'er said.
This is more absurd than magic. Zhao Jun curled his lips: "Class monitor, lying is not a good thing. I will tell the teacher."
"It's true!" Yun Gou'er was anxious and didn't care about Qiao. "Some time ago, didn't someone suddenly donate money to us to build roads? Teacher Shen's money was given by that person."
Yun Gou'er said it in a very convincing manner. Zhou Xiaoya exclaimed: "But why did that person give money to Teacher Shen? Is he also Teacher Shen's friend?"
Zhou Dazhuang nodded, "Sister, it takes a lot of money to build roads. He must be a very good friend."
Yun Gou'er seemed confused. He shook his head, "The teacher doesn't like him. The teacher seems to hate that person very much."
At that time, the village chief wanted to write a thank-you letter to the city for this matter. He came to the Yun family and asked Shen Minghuan to write it. As a result, Shen Minghuan sneered after listening to the whole story, and then refused it neatly.
"Village chief, it's just a deal, no need to thank them. Mutian Village doesn't owe them anything, and they're not good people either."
Yun Gou'er repeated Shen Minghuan's words word for word with a stern face, and spread his hands, "That's what the teacher said."
Zhou Xiaoya listened carefully, she raised her hand: "If they're not good people, then they're bad people? Why didn't Teacher Shen call the police?"
"Yes." The students suddenly realized, and then looked at Yun Gou'er with round eyes inquiring.
"..." Yun Gou'er was furious: "How should I know? If you have the ability, go ask the teacher!"
Gu Wenjing watched them playing and smiled slightly, his smile was full of unspeakable bitterness.
Yun Gou'er didn't know the reason, but he knew it well.
There were reasons for not calling the police.
The spy actually built a road for Shen Minghuan, and Gu Wenjing didn't know whether to be happy or distressed for this appreciation.
And Shen Minghuan didn't know how much he had paid to make M country do this.
Gu Wenjing touched the children's heads and said sincerely, "Your teacher is very good to you. You must study hard and don't let him down for what he has done for you."
She went to great lengths to build this road just to make it easier for children to go to the city to study. Shen Minghuan really has good intentions and has great love and selflessness.
"Of course we know, and we will be kind to teachers!"
"Yes, we listen to Teacher Shen the most. I don't even listen to my father."
"Teachers are the best teachers in the world, and we must also be the best students in the world!"
Just when the children expressed their determination one after another and Gu Wenjing and others looked on with smiles, Fang Peng arrived late.
Xu Yi was the first to notice him and immediately frowned, "Why is it only you, Comrade Shen?"
Fang Peng looked around at the children who were looking at him inquiringly, and forced a smile: "He still has something to do, and he will meet here later. Well... Professor Gu, can we take a step to talk?"
Fang Peng really didn't know what to do. He admitted that he was not very smart and could only choose to ask for help from others.

"You said we would take action tomorrow?" Han Aimin raised his voice.
Seeing Shen Minghuan covering his ears and glaring at him, Fang swallowed and said with a smile: "Shen, I wonder if this is a bit sudden?"
"Of course not. Do you have the heart to let me continue to live this kind of life?"
Shen Minghuan asked back: "Don't you want Mr. Flowers to go back early to help your stupid scientific researchers? Sir, the God of Technology in Country M is crying. Don't you hear it?"
"This...but..."
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Shen Minghuan stood up impatiently and walked to the back room in a familiar way, "Okay, if you can't make a decision, please let me talk to someone who can give orders, Admiral Rice..."
Shen Minghuan found the hidden communication equipment and opened it.
"Shen, my friend, no, please don't do this." Han Aimin hurriedly stopped him, not daring to be too tough and not daring to directly let Shen Minghuan talk to General Rice.
With this man's low emotional intelligence and bad temper, if he makes General Rice angry, won't he still be the one to suffer?
Shen Minghuan has already pressed the call button, "Good morning, Your Excellency General Rice. Ah, yes, I have received the semi-finished protective shield from you. To be honest, it is a bit poorly done, but it doesn't matter, I can do it. Forgive you generously.”
Although it costs a lot, the protective cover is actually very small. Even with the equipment and tools, it can only fit into a backpack.
"Professor Floss and I can finish the rest within two days. I mean, if you don't have any objections, can you come and take us back to the country tomorrow?"
"In fact, we can't wait for a long time. Oh, of course this is what Professor Floss means. God proves that we have had enough of China."
He held the receiver alone and said "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh," and then handed it to the nervous Han Aimin next to him: "Mr. Hunter, the general wants to discuss it with you."
Han Aimin took over nervously, "Sir, this matter..."
Admiral Rice said "hmm": "You are in China and know the situation there better than we do. Since you and Shen are both sure, then follow your plan. By the way, what is your plan? "
"A plan?" Han Aimin said incoherently.
Admiral Rice, who was far away in country M, frowned, his tone full of impatience with this incompetent subordinate: "Is there any problem?"
"No, no, no..." Han Aimin looked at Shen Minghuan for help.
Shen Minghuan smiled innocently, and took the microphone again with great compassion under Han Aimin's grateful eyes, "Your Excellency, they will take me to see Professor Floss at two o'clock every afternoon, and I will find a way to hide the semi-finished product. Bring it with you and we can assemble the protective shield in just half a day.”
Shen Minghuan vowed: "Your Excellency, you know the ability of the protective shield. No weapon in the world can penetrate it. Well, be more rigorous, at least not yet, so Professor Flos and I are absolutely safe, and we can rush out directly. "
It sounds like a perfect plan... just weird.
Admiral Rice spoke very gently to Shen Minghuan: "Yes, I know, but Shen, how can you guarantee that the protective shield can be delivered to Professor Floss?"
He didn't believe that the people guarding them in China wouldn't search them.
The young Chinese scholar was extremely naive, "Will they still doubt me? We are compatriots. Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will tell them that this is a state secret, and then they will not check it like before."
"...It's impossible to tell, Shen. Unlike our M country, China is willing to give its people unconditional trust." Admiral Rice felt contemptuous and speechless at Shen Minghuan's innocent remarks, but he still wanted to save him. Yes, you must know that Professor Floss may be transferred back to Kyoto at any time.
"Shen, what was the process like when you went to see Flos before? I mean, how many times would they check, and would they be very careful?" Admiral Rice asked.
Shen Minghuan smiled imperceptibly: "It will only be checked once when you pick me up. I sometimes bring some state secrets with me. Of course, I can't let too many people know."
"Only once..." Admiral Rice pondered for a moment and suddenly murmured: "God, this is really good news."
