With his current net worth, it would be just a piece of cake to help Shi Yunfeng pay off all his debts.
But from the moment he started to get to know Shi Yunfeng, Xu Jie knew that Shi Yunfeng was a child with very strong self-esteem and he would not accept charity from anyone.
Little half a year has passed since I met Shi Yunfeng on the way home late at night, who wanted to work part-time at a construction site.
In the past six months, Shi Yunfeng used his own way to realize his amazing learning talent.
From the Mathematical Olympiad selection on the Zhenzhong campus, I worked my way up until I represented Long Guo and won the gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad.
Outsiders only see his brilliance.
Only Xu Jie knows how much Shi Yunfeng suffered for this.
Talent is just the foundation, whether it can be realized depends on a person's own efforts.
Today, I heard that the prize money for the competition has been distributed. How could Xu Jie not be happy for Shi Yunfeng?
He knew that Shi Yunfeng's heartache would finally be completely eliminated.
The mess his gambler father left him was finally about to turn into a miracle thanks to Shi Yunfeng's own efforts.
After paying off the debt, Shi Yunfeng will be like a fish entering the sea and a bird returning to the sky, no longer bound by any constraints.
On July 30, Zhenzhong Middle School’s Longevity Summer Camp officially closed.
Liu Qingyun returned to the imperial capital to continue his studies.
Shi Mingyu went to his own pharmaceutical company and began to learn knowledge related to drug research and development.
Accompanied by Teacher Xu, Shi Yunfeng began his own journey of repaying debts.
"Uncle Lin was originally my dad's best friend."
"I loaned him more than 400,000 yuan back and forth."
"Uncle Lin didn't know that my dad borrowed the money for gambling until later when debt collectors came to our door."
In the car, Shi Yunfeng sat in the passenger seat and told Teacher Xu about the various debts his father owed.
The Uncle Lin he was talking about was named Lin Xiaojun. He used to work with Shi Yunfeng's father on the eastern coast.
Later, he returned to Central South China from the eastern coast and started a decoration business.
I made a lot of money during the years when real estate boomed.
Xu Jie drove Shi Yunfeng to a decoration market in Zhongnan City.
I met Lin Xiaojun in a store called "Xiaojun Whole House Decoration".
"Xiao Feng?"
Lin Xiaojun happened to be busy in the store and was surprised to see Shi Yunfeng coming.
"Why are you here?"
"Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"I told you a long time ago that if I encounter any difficulties, I will come to see your Uncle Lin."
"You are also a stubborn kid. You would rather suffer a lot than lower your head."
There was no disgust or blame on Lin Xiaojun's face.
Four to five hundred thousand is not a small amount.
Even if he has accumulated a lot of wealth through his business over the years, four to five million is not something he can just take.
After all, money doesn’t come with strong winds.
But he never said anything bad to Shi Yunfeng.
The father's debt is repaid by the son, so the saying goes.
But Lin Xiaojun is a man of temperament, and to put the blame for Shi Yunfeng's father on Shi Yunfeng's head, to be honest he couldn't do it.
"Uncle Lin, I came here today to pay you back for my father."
"I'm sorry for causing you losses in the past few years."
Shi Yunfeng bowed to Lin Xiaojun and apologized very sincerely.
"You kid..."
Lin Xiaojun smiled and shook his head. While introducing Shi Yunfeng into the store, he looked at Xu Jie doubtfully: "Who are you?"
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am Shi Yunfeng's class teacher, and my name is Xu Jie."
Xu Jie replied with a smile.
He saw everything Lin Xiaojun said and did.
Such a broad-minded person deserves to be rich.
Paying back debts is a matter of course.
But not everyone can do it without being harsh on others regarding money.
It is his duty to ask Shi Yunfeng to pay back the money.
He never comes to ask for debts, and he still cares about Shi Yunfeng. This is his love.
No wonder Shi Yunfeng was the first to come to pay Lin Xiaojun's money back.
Reciprocating love, it's all mutual.
Shi Yunfeng also has a strong balance in his heart.
"Hello, Teacher Xu, come in and sit down."
Lin Xiaojun smiled and greeted Xu Jie.
"It's such a hot summer and you brought Shi Yunfeng here with you. It's really..."
After sitting down, we chatted briefly.
Lin Xiaojun was surprised when he found out that Shi Yunfeng actually came to pay back the money.
When he heard that this was the bonus he received from participating in the competition, Lin Xiaojun secretly wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Like your father, I have never been a school material since I was a child."
"Xiao Feng, you have been studying since you were a child. I don't know how happy it makes us."
"Now, you can actually win a gold medal in an international competition?"
"It's amazing, it's amazing."
"You should keep the money for yourself first. If you have this heart, I will be very happy."
"If you want to pay me back, I'll wait until you go to college and get a job before you pay me back."
Lin Xiaojun even said that he didn't want Shi Yunfeng's money at all.
This scene made Xu Jie very unexpected and surprised.
But he knew that only if Shi Yunfeng paid off all his debts, Shi Yunfeng would no longer have any burden in his heart.
So, Xu Jie pulled Lin Xiaojun aside and gave him some persuasion.
"Mr. Lin, I understand your thoughts."
"But you also know that Shi Yunfeng is a kid. He looks lively and cheerful, but he actually has a very strong self-esteem."
"Only if you accept his repayment can he continue studying without any burden."
"If he goes to school, you don't need to worry about the cost of living."
"For an outstanding child like him, all the expenses for college are exempted by the school, not to mention various scholarships."
Lin Xiaojun heard Teacher Xu's words, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
"Teacher Xu, Xiaofeng has really been recommended to Tsinghua University?"
Xu Jie smiled and nodded, "Of course, how could I possibly joke about something like this?"
"You only need to search online to find out what he won in the competition."
When Lin Xiaojun heard this, he actually took out his mobile phone on the spot and started searching.
When he saw that familiar figure in the news, he finally felt relieved.
"Xiao Feng has really grown up."
"Brother Zhilin, you...hey..."
In the end, Lin Xiaojun accepted the 460,000 yuan transferred from Shi Yunfeng.
Watching Shi Yunfeng's leaving figure, Lin Xiaojun felt both relieved and emotional.
…
After coming out of Lin Xiaojun's store, Xu Jie took Shi Yunfeng and started to wander around every corner of Zhongnan City.
One debt after another was paid off by Shi Yunfeng one by one.
Some relatives and friends have been paying attention to Shi Yunfeng's growth and have long known that he won a prize in the competition and was sent to Qingbei.
Some relatives and friends still ignored him and were still worried about the incident when Shi Yunfeng's father borrowed money for gambling.
Not everyone can let go so easily.
But Shi Yunfeng didn't blame them.
From beginning to end, Shi Yunfeng never blamed the relatives and friends who lent money to his father.
When the sun was about to set, Xu Jie sent Shi Yunfeng back to his home in Jihe Village.
As soon as he entered the house, Shi Yunfeng swooped and knelt on the ground.
On his face, unstoppable tears flowed slowly.
"Teacher Xu, thank you!"
There is gold under the man's knees, and he has parents in heaven and earth.
The memory of my teacher's kindness is as deep as the ocean, and my sincerity kneels down in all hearts.
