Chapter 17: Her Past (1)

The two of them held hands all the way to where they were staying tonight. It was a small independent villa. Yao Yao swiped the card and walked in, then realised that there was a place in the courtyard for them to cool off. Also, the interior was a completely different style from the exterior.

The luggage had already been sent into the house. Yao Yao took out her clothes and was about to take a shower. Huo Konghe was still feeling guilty that he had gone overboard yesterday, so he took the initiative to help her shower.

Yao Yao looked at him in surprise, but when she entered the bathroom, Huo Konghe truly just helped to bathe her. If it weren’t for the erect tent on his lower body, Yao Yao would have been deceived by his serious expression.

She raised her eyebrows with a smile. Huo Konghe was a bit embarrassed, so he threw the towel to Yao Yao and rushed out of the door.

The two of them lay under the blanket after taking a shower. Yao Yao nestled in Huo Konghe’s arms, and played with his fingers.

“Why didn’t you take up a PhD?” Huo Konghe had always wanted to ask her this question. With Yao Yao’s ability and economic situation, there was no reason for her not to do so.

“Because I have two undergraduate degrees and two Master’s degrees. I really don’t want to study anymore.” Yao Yao recalled the painful period when she was still studying; she only slept for a few hours a day, and had to complete all sorts of theses and exams.

Huo Konghe had never heard her talk about degrees before, and looked at her in surprise.

“Go ahead.” Yao Yao waved at him.

She returned to the office and started writing a summary report. Halfway through, she suddenly remembered that Huo Konghe was going to graduate early.

She called her assistant in.

“President Yao.” The assistant knocked on the door respectfully and entered.

“Help me contact the Dean of S University. I also want to make a visit there.” Yao Yao paused for a moment. She should go to Professor Yao’s house first.

Yao Yao looked up and said, “Arrange for me to meet him in the afternoon. Get Master Liu to prepare the car. I want to go to Professor Yao’s place.”

“Alright, President Yao.”

Yao Yao bought some fruits, meat and seafood to Old Master Yao’s house. Old Master Yao was making dumplings with Grandma Yao at home, and they teased her for choosing to come at the right time.

“I thought you were in America, so I didn’t ask you to come.” The old man sat at the coffee table with Yao Yao, and the latter began to brew some tea.

“I came back the day before yesterday,” Yao Yao replied obediently.

“Tell me, why are you looking for me?” The old man had long seen through her thoughts.

Yao Yao looked at him with a smile and poured him a cup of tea respectfully with her hands. She said, “Huo Konghe wants to graduate early and take the Caltech exam. He also wants you to write a recommendation letter.”

Old Master Yao touched his teacup and considered it for a while.

“It shouldn’t be difficult for you to help him graduate. I’ll definitely write the recommendation letter. After all, his ability is clear for all to see.” The old man glanced at her. “What’s the matter? Are you paying for him?”

Yao Yao exclaimed, “This is called investment, Grandpa. And it’s a stock with potential.”

Old Master Yao was amused by her, and laughed loudly.

“Come and eat, the two of you.” Grandma Yao shouted from the kitchen, and the elderly man patted Yao Yao’s shoulder.

“Let’s go eat,” Old Master Yao said.

“Alright.” Yao Yao ran to the kitchen to get the dumplings.

After the meal, Yao Yao was chased away to S University by the old man. She called the driver to pick her up.

Ever since Yao Yao went to university, N Airlines started to sponsor S University. Not to mention the student scholarship, even a large portion of the materials and equipment in the aviation department were sponsored by N Airlines. Besides, Yao Yao graduated with outstanding results with her own abilities, and had never troubled the principal. Hence, she felt that it shouldn’t be a problem if she asked the dean to let a student graduate early. “…”

In the end, the dean agreed readily. Besides, Huo Konghe’s grades were outstanding, so there was nothing that didn’t make sense.

Yao Yao even requested for the dean to hide from Huo Konghe the fact that she had been here. The dean was someone who had seen the world, so he immediately said that he wouldn’t let Huo Konghe know.
