"Mom, can we start third grade now?"
"Yes, tomorrow we’ll have Uncle Tang take you to the elentary school to handle the enrollnt procedures."
"Great!" The twins high-fived each other, "Yay!"
Seeing their happy faces, Gu Lili said, "If you feel you’ve mastered the third-grade material, you can continue to self-study and go as far as you can. Anyway, you’ll have to learn it sooner or later. After finishing your academic courses, your dad plans to have you learn business courses."
"So we can take over the company when we grow up?"
"What else?" Gu Lili retorted, "Your dad works very hard, and you two will have to shoulder his responsibilities when you grow up."
"Dad! You’re back?" Stars got up from the sofa and walked towards Long Yubei, fawningly helping him with his bag, "Mom agreed to let us start elentary school."
Gu Lili added, "Both kids have already mastered the third-grade knowledge."
"But they’re still young."
"Yesterday, I saw a news story about a 15-year-old boy skipping grades and getting into the top university in City B. I think my two sons could do it by age ten. Who’s to bla for their high talent?" Gu Lili didn’t think age should be a constraint, "After the academic courses, didn’t you plan to have them learn business courses? School is for learning, what does age have to do with it? As long as they learn, that’s all that matters. My children don’t need to go with the flow; they are who they are."
"I’ll listen to you," Long Yubei had no objections, "if you think it’s good, then it is."
The twins exchanged a smile, clearly thinking: As expected, Dad still listens to Mom.
"Kids, I’m here." Shen Congmo led his son Shen Zhijing in.
"Uncle, what are you carrying?" Listen asked.
"A big gift for your dad." Shen Congmo placed the gift bag on Long Yubei’s lap, "Here, to curry favor with you."
Long Yubei raised his hand to take out the contents, unable to tell at once, "What is this? Ginseng?"
"Look at you, clueless as ever. This is a thousand-year-old black ginseng I snagged at an auction abroad for three million, said to make you grow bigger."
The twins were perplexed, grow bigger?
Is it really that magical?
"I don’t need to be bigger, I’m already big enough."
"To make you even bigger."
Gu Lili couldn’t take it anymore, "You two are enough, there are kids here, watch what you’re saying."
Shen Congmo rubbed his nose, "This is a bribe, I need you to help with sothing."
Long Yubei handed the bag to Gu Lili, "Young Master Shen’s sincere gesture, put it in the kitchen and we’ll eat it later. I want to see if it’s really that magical."
"Could sothing that expensive be useless?"
"Speak, what is it?"
"Zhijing is particularly interested in studying dicine, it’s definitely inherited from . I’ve discussed it with Feng Xi, and we’re planning to send him to the most prestigious dical school in Country Y, but you know, they don’t accept foreign students, no matter how much money you have. I heard you have a good relationship with their principal, see if you can make an exception."
"You resorted to giving gifts for the kid’s sake?" Long Yubei raised an eyebrow, "Zhijing is only a little over four, and you want him to study abroad? Why not wait until he’s a bit older?"
"Their school admits students who start from a few years old, and apparently, they have rigorous screening — only talented ones are accepted."
