Chapter 46: Thanks
The ‘Blue Star Dream Creation Project’ is a talent training program launched by Dahong Corporation in the name of charity. It was also the foundation that Le Wan had just mentioned.
The reason why Ren Rong valued Zhai Jing was that, first, he was indeed outstanding and met the requirements of the project. Secondly, although he was unaware of the Fu family’s petty tricks during the competition, Dahong Corporation still owed him a favor for the mishaps of needing to prevent the incident from happening in the first place, allowing the competition to end on a good note.
Zhai Jing hesitated for a moment and did not reply immediately. Meanwhile, Ren Rong had asked his secretary to pass him the contact details of the person in charge of the foundation before encouraging him, “You can take your time considering it.”
After receiving the prize money, Zhai Jing was in a hurry to return to the hospital. Hence, he skipped the celebratory party.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the hospital then,” Le Wan opened her car’s door to let him in.
Zhai Jing was silent for a while before inquiring, “Weren’t you busy today? Why did you suddenly come over?”
Le Wan turned the steering wheel, and the car made a gradual turn to merge into the traffic. She casually replied, “No matter what, you are still my teacher. As your student, I’ll always support you, okay?” Although, she failed to mention that she had actually gone to school first, but she couldn’t calm herself down to review because of the competition, so she came here instead.
It was a pity that she had arrived too late and was even delayed by Ren Huan’s matter. By the time she entered the venue, Zhai Jing was almost done with the competition.
Zhai Jing looked at Le Wan who was sitting in the driver’s seat. She was driving in a relaxed but skillful manner, as if she was an experienced driver. It was hard to imagine that she rear-ended a car on the road that day and caused a traffic accident.
But it was also because of this mistake that they were able to have so many interactions later on.
Sitting in the car, while he looked at the traffic outside, Zhai Jing recalled the little things that had happened since they met. At the same time, his mother’s situation also circled his mind. He felt conflicted and full of worry, so he didn’t say anything.
Le Wan peeked at his furrowed brows and guessed that he was worrying about his mother in the hospital again, so she did not disturb him either.
When they arrived at the hospital entrance, Le Wan turned off the engine. “We’re here.”
The sound of her voice woke Zhai Jing up. He looked at the familiar hospital entrance and came back to his senses. He unbuckled his seat belt and said, “Thank you.”
After getting to know him for this long, Le Wan more or less understood his character by now. She knew that he was used to being independent and did not like to trouble others, nor did he like to owe others favors. However, the news that she heard from Sis Wu just now made her somewhat concerned. Considering that in the original plot, his turn to evil was probably related to the death of his mother, Le Wan hesitated for a moment before finally speaking out, “If you need any help, just call me.”
Zhai Jing got out of the car and held the door open as he bent down and looked at her, “Again, thank you for today.” Although President Ren only mentioned it once, he knew that without Le Wan, he would not have been able to get the prize money to pay the medical bills.
Le Wan was still not clear about what really happened in the competition and simply thought that he was talking about her going to watch him compete and sending him to the hospital, so she brushed it off saying, “It’s nothing.”
Zhai Jing pursed his lips. Since the two got acquainted, Le Wan had helped him too many times. If he kept on saying ‘thank you’ again and again, wouldn’t he just be saying nonsense?
When Le Wan saw his unusually serious expression, she grew confused, “Is there anything wrong?”
However, Zhai Jing suddenly changed the topic. “The next mock exam is coming,” he said before taking out a notebook from his bag. “Your review plan is very comprehensive, but if you want to make a big breakthrough in your grades in a short period of time, you should focus on the knowledge points I’ve highlighted in red marker.” He had spent almost a week on this, because it was the only way he could help Le Wan.
“Really?” Le took it as if she had found a treasure and perused the analysis of each subject. “Did you predict the scope of my exams? As expected, there’s still a big gap between me and The Prodigy.”
Zhai Jing passed everything over to Le Wan and then rushed into the hospital. She proceeded to happily put the precious laptop into her bag, but at glance, she coincidentally saw a trophy on the front passenger seat. It was the trophy that Zhai Jing had just won from a competition and he had left it in the car.
Le Wan shook her head. “This is clearly favoritism. They’re both prizes for first place, but the prize money was securely stuffed into his bag, while the trophy was casually stuffed in my car”.
