ay."What it really means is, mom, please don't cook for us again after you get home."Where's big brother Has big brother eaten his fill"Shu Xiaonian nodded. "I'm full, Mom should eat well at home too....Cheng Zhimin was a little shocked. She had just said it casually, and she never expected Zhuo Yu'an to need her help. She hurriedly agreed.

“Sure, I can make arrangements. President Xue from Huada is an old classmate of mine. You’ve met him as a child.”

"Hmm."

Cheng Zhimin still appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was a little agitated. As a mother, she had never put in any effort for her son's studies or career. She simply didn't have the ability to help, as her son was incredibly capable and didn't need her assistance. This time, however, her son had taken the initiative to ask for her help, and she would do everything in her power to assist him.

After Cui's secretary left, Cheng Zhimin went to her study and began to carefully plan tomorrow's schedule. Since her son, Zhuo Yu'an, had spoken up, she would definitely have to hand in a perfect answer. Not only did she call Principal Xue of Hua University to arrange a meeting for tomorrow, but she also called several other university friends and colleagues to say hello. If Zhuo Yu'an wanted to expand their school's business, she would definitely give him the green light.

Before her retirement, Cheng Zhimin had never asked anyone for favors. Even relatives whose children wanted to get into good high schools or professors who wanted an edge in promotions came to her, she was always impartial and refused them all. When she rejected someone, she was ruthless:

“I hope your child can do well on the middle school entrance exam and get into Huada Affiliated Middle School based on their own abilities. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the qualifications to get in. It wouldn't just hold you back, but also put a lot of pressure on the child.” This made her relatives at home want to cut off ties with her immediately. Don't push it, there are plenty of other ways to get in.

University faculty promotions are even more complicated.

“I pulled some strings to get you the professor position. There are only so many spots available. If you got one, what about those teachers with more research achievements than you You might as well focus on teaching and research instead. With hard work, you'll eventually be promoted.”

She offended all of her relatives on her mother's side. At work, she really disliked those who were always scheming and thinking about shortcuts.

That's her, now calling each old classmate and colleague one by one, scaring them into repeatedly asking if something happened to Zhuoyuan Technology

Cheng Zhimin could only say

"No. Yu An's company has plans to develop its business in universities, and I thought that I could help him in any way possible."

The other party laughed heartily.

“Teacher Cheng, you're worrying too much. All of our universities are eager to collaborate with Zuo Yuan Technology.”

This is true. Aside from schools using Zhuyuan Technology's intelligent devices, what's even more important is that they want to collaborate with Zhuyuan Technology and obtain its research and development funds.

But Zhuoyuan Technology has stringent selection criteria in these areas, not all universities can pass the audit.

Cheng Zhimin hung up the phone, feeling a twinge of melancholy. She had painstakingly cultivated her network over half her life, but her son couldn't use any of it. No, it should be said that all the connections she had built over half her life were worthless to her son.

Hit a bit of a setback. Spent most of my life working hard, building a career, maintaining the family image – it seems like all that value has been called into question.

The next morning, I got dressed up especially. I chose an outfit that I usually only wore to meetings with Zhuo Hong or on official overseas visits—something both dignified and elegant. These outfits were all handmade, each stitch carefully considered. Putting them on instantly elevated my entire presence.

The nanny looked on in admiration, praising Teacher Cheng for her excellent spirit and energy. She said that when someone is in good spirits, they look good in anything they wear.

People living near the Zhu family's courtyard were all from the same social circle. They saw each other every day, whether they looked up or down. After Zhu Yuyan returned home yesterday, several official wives learned about it. People who had nothing to do usually gossiped and sent their trusted maids out to inquire about the news.

These matrons, on the surface they all appear harmonious. But behind closed doors, each one resents the other's success. In the past, the Zhuo family enjoyed a higher standing because of their patriarch. Now that he is gone, their status is comparable to the others, and naturally, they feel more inclined to compare themselves.

The nannies checked in with each other and then went back to report.

"Teacher Cheng rode in Zhuo Yu'an's car, not knowing where they were going."

How are they (mother and child) doing

"That's unclear, it seems we haven't communicated before."

It's true there was no communication. After Cheng Zhimin got in the car, he didn't say a word. She had no idea what her son was up to and didn't dare ask easily. Zhuo Hong had made it clear last night: listen to whatever your son says and don't always try to argue back or get the upper hand verbally.

The driver drove them all the way into Huada University's campus and stopped the car in the faculty parking space outside President Xue's office. President Xue was already waiting outside. He greeted Cheng Zhimin first, then Zhu Yunan.

Cheng Zhimin's aura was still strong even outside. It felt like a leader coming to inspect work. Principal Xue led them to the meeting room, and after they were seated, the principal assistant poured tea for everyone and then sat aside, taking notes in a small notebook.

Principal Xue glanced at Zhuo Yu'an and said with emotion,

“Teacher Cheng is blessed.”

Cheng Zhimin was at a loss, glanced at Zhuo Yu'an, then at Principal Xue, and smiled.

“Just say what you have to say.”

Principal Xue also smiled.

“Teacher Cheng, don't you know yet President Zhu has donated money to build a fully digitalized and intelligent library at Huada University in your name. The library will be called Zemin Library.”

Cheng Zhimin was taken aback, her heart beating faster. It was too unexpected, even unbelievable. Would Zhuo Yu'an do this for her It was completely out of character for him.

"As soon as I heard the news, I wanted to tell you, but Mr. Zhu said this was a gift for you and he wanted to keep it a surprise. He said that Teacher Cheng has worked hard her whole life, dedicating herself to education. After this library is completed, it will be a testament to your lifelong work."ivacy, especially anything unrelated to the case. 。She got up and took out the power of attorney from her bag and handed it to Yi Mu Yang. 。Mr. Yi, I've already reviewed the agency contract last nig...
