Chapter 239 Bai Wenbo
Upon hearing his grandfather's introduction, Bai Wenbo's eyes flashed with surprise and respect. He quickly stepped forward and said respectfully:
"Uncle Zhao, hello! I've heard so much about you from my grandpa and great-aunt. In their eyes, you're like a superhero, an idol for our whole family! Whenever they talk about you, their eyes light up like stars. It's so exciting to finally meet you in person today! I hope you'll be kind enough to give me your guidance in the future, so I can learn some secrets to success from you."
Faced with Bai Wenbo's enthusiastic words, Zhao Yuan smiled and waved his hand, responding modestly:
"Oh, your grandpa and great-aunt are too kind! Actually, I owe a great deal of my success to your support and help. Over the years, I have always been deeply grateful to them."
At this point, Bai Bin added:
"By the way, Uncle Zhao's precious daughter, Zhao Zhaodi, is in the study right now. She's the top scorer in Beijing's college entrance exam this year, her grades are outstanding! You two are about the same age and are both energetic young people, you should communicate more and learn from each other in the future!"
"Yes, I will definitely keep Grandpa's teachings in mind and will never let him down! Grandpa, Uncle Zhao, you two continue chatting, I'll go back inside now."
As Bai Wenbo spoke, he carefully parked his bicycle and then walked briskly into the house.
A short while later, Bai Wenbo arrived at the door of the study.
He first politely raised his hand and gently knocked on the door a few times.
Immediately afterwards, a clear and gentle voice came from inside the room:
"Please come in."
After receiving a response, Bai Wenbo slowly pushed open the door, stepped into the study, and walked towards Zhao Zhaodi, who was sitting at the desk.
As he approached, Bai Wenbo smiled and took the initiative to introduce himself:
"Hello, I'm Bai Wenbo. I'm currently a freshman at Huzhou University, majoring in economics and management. It's really nice to meet you!"
After speaking, he naturally extended his right hand to Zhao Zhaodi to show his friendliness and welcome.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhaodi also quickly stood up and extended her right hand to shake hands with Bai Wenbo.
After a brief handshake, the two gently released each other's hands.
At this moment, Zhao Zhaodi said with a smile:
"Hello, Bai Wenbo, my name is Zhao Zhaodi, and I just finished my senior year of high school."
Hearing this, Bai Wenbo's smile widened even more, and he said with a hint of admiration:
"So you're the top science student in Beijing this year! The news has spread throughout our family for ages, and everyone's been praising you! You're such a top student, we'll have to rely on you for guidance and support in the future!"
Faced with Bai Wenbo's straightforward praise, Zhao Zhaodi couldn't help but feel a little shy. She lowered her head slightly and said softly:
"Oh, you're too kind! Actually, winning this top scholar title was purely by chance, there's really nothing to brag about. Your praise makes me feel rather embarrassed..."
"Oh dear, you're being far too modest! You know, becoming the top scholar isn't something you can achieve just by luck, especially the top scholar from the capital! By the way, what book are you reading right now?"
Bai Wenbo asked curiously.
Zhao Zhaodi smiled slightly, handed the book in her hand to Bai Wenbo, and said:
"Here, this is 'Pride and Prejudice'."
Bai Wenbo looked closely and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Wow, it's entirely in English! That's proof enough that you've perfectly inherited your father's excellent genes. I once heard Grandpa mention that Uncle Bai's English is practically indistinguishable from his native tongue!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhaodi showed a hint of surprise on her face and murmured to herself:
"Wow, my dad's English is so good! I had no idea."
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she asked in a puzzled tone:
"My dad's English is good? He only graduated from junior high school. Good English? You must be joking. How is that possible?"
However, Bai Wenbo answered with a serious expression:
"How could it be impossible? It's absolutely true. I heard it from my grandfather. Apparently, your father made his fortune precisely because of his excellent English skills."
The two then began to discuss this topic, and Bai Wenbo told Zhao Zhaodi everything he had learned about Zhaoyuan from his grandfather.
This was the first time Zhao Zhaodi had learned how her father had started his business, and she became even more curious about him.
The two young people found themselves getting along very well as they talked.
Zhao Zhaodi's eyes sparkled with gratitude towards Bai Wenbo.
"I never expected you knew so much about my dad. Thanks to you today, otherwise I would still be in the dark."
Bai Wenbo scratched his head, a little shyly, and said:
"It's nothing, I just happened to hear it from Grandpa. Actually, I really admire your dad. He's amazing at seizing opportunities and using his strengths to develop his career."
Zhao Zhaodi sighed softly.
“I used to think that my dad was too busy with work and rarely spent time with me, but now I realize that he has been working hard to build his career.”
Bai Wenbo nodded.
"Yes, that's how elders are; they want to create better conditions for us. But speaking of which, since you enjoy reading and learning English so much, have you ever thought about going abroad to see the world?"
Zhao Zhaodi's eyes lit up.
"Of course I've thought about it! I've always had this plan. I'm thinking of going abroad to further my studies after graduating from university and pursuing a master's degree."
Bai Wenbo's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a faint smile as he said:
"Yes, I actually have the same idea. I'm also planning to study abroad for my master's degree. By the way, is there a school you particularly want to attend?"
Bai Wenbo looked at Zhao Zhaodi with anticipation and asked.
Zhao Zhaodi gently shook her head, pondered for a moment, and then replied:
"Right now, I haven't completely decided which school to choose. I need to figure out what major I want to study first, and then make a final decision based on that. However, I personally prefer universities in the United States."
Hearing this, Bai Wenbo couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Huh? But I remember Grandpa said a few days ago that you had received your admission letter from Tsinghua University. I heard it was the first admission letter issued in Beijing."
