-5 Chapter 110: Home 2 (1/2)
The dinner with Yi Fei's parents went on smoothly.
It was a very relaxed dinner with Yi Fei chatted about her school and the things they were doing and how was her daily life in City L. Her parents took their turn to tell Yi Fei and Wu Chen about the things going on in their school.
There were a lot of terms and words he didn't understand, but after sometimes, Wu Chen seemed to get the hang of it. He didn't know that being a teacher would be so complicated.
Previously, while listening to his mother's recount on NaNa's well-being in City far away from them, all that Wu Chen understood would be, that teacher seemed to be a job that is easy and relaxed since the teachers didn't have to work on the weekend.
Listening to the three people talking about action research, approaches, cla.s.sroom management and a few other things he couldn't quite comprehend, Wu Chen found a new respect for all teachers in the world.
Another thing would be the client. While Wu Chen dealt with people in the business that could be considered all adult, the three teachers in front of him had to deal with hundreds of rebellious teenagers every day. Wu Chen couldn't even deal with one, yet the people in front of him were able to survive while dealing with thousand every year. Wu Chen was amazed.
Although the dinner went smoothly, Wu Chen felt that Yi Fei's father was cautious with him. Yi Fei's mother looked at him with eyes full of admiration while the father, he looked as if he was ready to whack him off the moment he made a single mistake.
”Oh look at us being rude. Ah, Chen here couldn't relate at all. What are you doing for a living?” Yi Fei's mother saw that Wu Chen was quiet the whole dinner, so she attempted to bring him into the conversation.
”I am a businessman. I worked under my father” Wu Chen never liked to show off his privileged background, but it's not as if he tried to hide it as well. If people found out about his wealthy background, then it was okay, but he was not going to go around telling people how wealthy he was.
For the first time after meeting him, Yi Fei's father showed interest in Wu Chen. ”Oh, really? What business?” The mean eyes that Yi Fei's father had previously turned into normal eyes.
”Real estate, but now my dad is testing the water in the hospitality industry” Wu Chen did not elaborate much because he was careful of his words choice. Not everyone can understand business so Wu Chen tried to speak as little as he could so as not to bore Yi Fei's parents unless they were asking more questions. Then Wu Chen would be happy to explain to them.
Yi Fei's mother had been staring at Wu Chen for quite some time now. She felt that Wu Chen looked familiar like she had seen him somewhere before.
”Ah Chen, you look familiar. Other than a businessman, are you a celebrity as well? You look familiar?” Yi Fei's mother tried hard to recall where she saw Wu Chen.
Wu Chen let out a soft laugh.”I'm not a celebrity. I am just a commoner like everyone else.”
