Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 247: Chapter 236: So Admired

When Chen Zilong mentioned his sister, he got all animated and enthusiastically mimicked Qian’s demeanor to Yu Minglang, looking around for props to express himself.

”I need a prop, where can I find some glasses...”

”Use these.” Yu Minglang handed over his sunglasses from his pocket.

Chen Zilong put the sunglasses on his nose.

This kid isn’t good at studying, but he sure has a knack for acting. He mimicked Qian’s aloof demeanor perfectly.

He pushed his glasses with his hand, coldly imitating Qian, ”Chen Zilong, you can’t even solve such a simple problem?”

Taking off the glasses, he returned to himself, clasping his hands in a pleading gesture, ”Sis, I really don’t know...”

Putting on the glasses again, he continued mimicking Qian, snapping his fingers at the air, ”Got it now?”

Taking off the glasses, he showed a look as if about to cry.

”Sis, I really don’t get it...”

Chen Zilong put on the glasses again, mimicking Qian’s stance, pretending to twist his ear with one hand and slap his mouth with the other, ”Is it clear now? Is it clear? If not, I’ll keep hitting you! You can’t even solve such a simple problem, aren’t you ashamed of wasting air!”

Yu Minglang twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Chen Zilong took off the glasses, looking miserable at Yu Minglang, ”Really, she treats me like this, just one problem, she only explains it once. After she explains, she asks if I understand, and if I don’t, she won’t explain it a second time, she’ll just hit me until I understand.”

Chen Zilong wasn’t exaggerating; Qian really hit him this way, and he didn’t dare hit back. When Qian tutored him, half of the time was spent hitting him.

”My sister wasn’t always like this, ever since she broke up with her ex-fiancé—”

Yu Minglang was smiling at first, but when he heard the jarring words ”ex-fiancé,” he instantly frowned, and Chen Zilong quickly caught on.

”It’s with that jerk, after she broke off the engagement with that scumbag of a bastard, her personality changed drastically, she loves to hit, and always glares coldly at people.”

”She is a gentle girl, you are just too naughty.”

Chen Zilong got black lines across his face. His sister, gentle?

But looking at Yu Minglang’s infatuated expression, it didn’t seem like he was lying. Damn it, he got goosebumps just watching him at night.

”Uh, future brother-in-law, you see I’ve already called you brother-in-law, and there’s no more books, does it mean we don’t have to study?”

”Bring paper and pen.”

Yu Minglang extended his hand, and Chen Zilong hurried to find a notebook and pen. Yu Minglang sat at the desk, and Chen Zilong was about to find a chair to sit, but Yu Minglang stopped him.

”Stand up, listen while standing, it’s clearer — don’t worry, I won’t hit you like your sister does. Come, I’ll summarize the middle school physics points for you, watch closely, starting with the mechanics section—”

Yu Minglang spoke and wrote at the same time, his pen moving swiftly.

”Wait a minute! Lang, what are you writing, this is illegible with too many connected strokes, I can’t read it!” Chen Zilong protested.

Yu Minglang stopped writing, looked down, switched his pen from left hand to right hand and the flowing cursive instantly became neat print.

Chen Zilong was amazed.

”Wow, you can write with both hands!”

”Left hand for cursive, right hand for print, I use my left hand more. You can practice using both hands too, it’s good for developing both sides of the brain. I practiced both hands because back at my old unit, precise operations required both hands, so I write for fun usually.”

Chen Zilong was once again taken aback, to achieve this level just for fun, is there any hope left?

”Come on, stay focused, watch closely. Definitions of force, measurement of force, the three elements of force, the key points are these...”

Yu Minglang fully demonstrated what it means to be an overachiever, no books?

Doesn’t matter, just explain!

He effortlessly condensed an entire semester’s content into an outline, explaining it in a way that started simple and went deep, using intriguing examples, like incorporating physics formulas to explain how snipers complete a shot from 1 kilometer away and discussing optics in scopes, which left Chen Zilong impressed.

No boy can resist this; it turns out knowledge can be used here.

When Jia Xiufang called Yu Minglang for dinner, she was surprised to see her son discussing topics with Yu Minglang; this boy actually showed an interest in books!

”Who says scholars are useless, even enlisting now requires a full high school education. Back then, among the people I led, only one had a high school education, the rest all had higher education. Later, there were subjects related to demolition work, and without a solid cultural foundation, many people with excellent qualities were eliminated because of academic courses.”

Yu Minglang patted Chen Zilong’s shoulder, ”Though school may not necessarily be useful, but reading more will give you more options. High school is the minimum, revise according to what I wrote for you, next time I’ll teach you something else.”

”Okay! You’re much better than my sister, all she does is hit me...” Chen Zilong felt that talking to Yu Minglang was very enlightening.

Qian came out of her room, glanced at Chen Zilong, ”I’ve been sneezing all this time, were you complaining again?”

”No way, Lang’s explanation was really good, don’t believe me, I’ll show you. In the future, if Lang tutors me, I might even pass.”

Chen Zilong happily wanted to go into his room to fetch the notes Yu Minglang had written for him, but Jia Xiufang stopped him.

”Stop it, let Lang have a meal first, talk after he finishes eating.”

Chen Zilong didn’t go into the room to get the paper for Qian to see.

Qian gave Yu Minglang a look with a faint smile, ”I heard you’re more suited to teach than me?”

”I learned everything from you, right, leader?”

”Just blabbering.” Qian glanced at him and turned to Teng Shuixian inside the house, ”Shuixian, join us for a late-night snack.”

”No... I can’t eat.” Teng Shuixian shook her head, it was the first time she saw such a seriously funny man.

”Are all the people from your old unit like this?” Teng Shuixian asked, because she remembered that the man her father forced her to go on a blind date with also seemed to have served in Yu Minglang’s old unit.

”Everyone’s quality is about the same, but the personalities differ.”

Yu Minglang replied.

”Oh... Chen Xiaoqian, I’m planning to go back to the hotel. About that job, I’ve agreed, let’s set a place to meet.”

”At the entrance of the International Trade Center—here, take this.” Qian picked up a squishy thawed pear from a bowl on the radiator.

”I don’t want to eat...” Teng Shuixian shook her head.

”Just take a bite, it’s different in taste from the frozen one you had before.”

When it came to food, Chen Zilong perked up immediately, ”When it’s frozen, you have to gnaw on it slowly with your teeth. It may look dark, but the flesh is white. Let it melt on your tongue slowly, it’s a bit like ice cream. After it melts, it’s even sweeter than a fresh pear!”
