1197 Grooming Talents

since qiao nan had doubts about her master, zhai sheng told her everything about lin yuankang.

lin yuankang was very smart from a young age. he was the smartest child among his generation in the lin family. back then, the lin family was an illustrious family. since he was intelligent and was the son of the first wife, the elders gave him all valuables at home. he was seen as a rich second-generation heir.

it was chaotic in the 70s. lin yuankang was barely ten years old then, but he managed to hide all the valuables that were the cause of the lin family’s downfall. he then brought enough money with him and fled out of the country for his overseas studies. after he finished his studies, he was already in his twenties. peace had once again returned to the country and the country was in need of talents. as a result, lin yuankang came back to his country in glory.

even if lin yuankang was incapable, the valuables that his family passed down to him were sufficient for him to lead a well-to-do life until he passed away.

as it happened, lin yuankang was very capable and he was lucky with money.

people usually complained that they did not have enough money. however, it was the opposite for lin yuankang. he was able to make lots and lots of money and he bought several houses in the capital as well as in ping cheng.

he gifted the triplets with jade pendants that cost more than one million yuan.

therefore, it would not be a problem for him to buy the house next to the zhai family’s residence.

qiao nan wanted to take care of elder lin, but it was unsuitable for her to ask him to stay in the zhai family’s residence with them. elder lin was proud. he would not want to live with the zhai family and be under someone else’s roof. moreover, he had no lack of houses to live in.

zhai sheng learned that their neighbor intended to sell the house and told qiao nan to bring this matter up to elder lin.

if elder lin bought the house next to the zhai family’s residence, he would become their neighbor. elder lin could come over to their house frequently to play with the triplets. when it was late, he could just go back to his house next door to rest.

if elder lin could not bear to part with the triplets and wanted to stay with them, the zhai family would agree to his request as he lived next door.

as someone who had been through rebirth, qiao nan knew better than anyone else that instead of depositing money in the bank, it was better to use the money to buy a house to defend against risk before the government set a limit to the number of properties that one could have.

it was obvious what qiao nan was up to when she brought up the neighboring house to elder lin.

“hahaha. it has been difficult on you. the people that you know seem to have a bad temper.” zhai hua was full of sympathy for qiao nan. if qiao nan did not handle the matter properly, elder lin would not agree to it. qiao nan had to be considerate of his feelings and take extra care not to hurt his pride. it was a tough job.

qiao nan placed er bao, who was asleep in the baby crib. she then coaxed da bao in her arms. “da bao, you have a temper like your grand master. you must keep him company in the future.” her master needed people to appease and coax him.

da bao nestled himself in qiao nan’s embrace. there was a satisfied and comfortable look on his face. he moved his round, chubby face about qiao nan’s soft and comfy chest before he yawned once again, leaning against her arms and drifting to sleep. qiao nan managed to get him to sleep in no time.

“should we bring them upstairs?” they would most likely sleep for more than an hour. miao jing touched her granddaughter’s tiny hands to check whether she was cold. ever since it was winter, miao jing was worried that the babies would catch a cold.

“sure.” qiao nan nodded. they each carried a baby with them and went upstairs. “da bao and er bao are getting heavier. my hands will become numb after carrying them for a while. i am not sure if i will be able to carry them when they turn one year old.”

qiao nan loved children and she liked to hold them in her arms. her babies liked it when she carried them.

however, qiao nan was not as physically strong as zhai sheng, who was able to carry three of them at one go. she felt strenuous even when she was only carrying one baby in her arms.

she wondered if she should get her babies to lose weight so that she could continue to carry them, or if she should train herself to become a muscle babe.

“hahaha. don’t worry. they are indeed growing very fast now. it will be better in the future. er bao, don’t worry. i will carry you in my arms until you grow up. i dote on you and will be able to carry you no matter what. er bao, you must be close to me.” miao jing kissed er bao on the cheeks he was sleeping soundly in her arms.

zhai hua refused to lose out to her. she bent down to kiss san bao. “san bao, you must be close to your aunt. i am stronger than your mom. don’t worry about gaining weight and growing up. i will be able to carry you no matter how heavy you are. “zhai hua was the proudest of her physical strength. this was her only advantage over qiao nan.

qiao nan, who had lost to the two other women, felt upset. she gave a kiss to da bao’s smooth fragrant cheeks.

since the triplets were sleeping, qiao nan had all the time to herself. every student was busy revising at this time of the year. the lunar new year was coming, and that meant exams were around the corner as well.

qiao nan had been looking through and studying the syllabus for the next semester. like gao yan, she wanted to work hard to graduate in less than four years. she no longer dreamed of getting a double degree.

elder lin understood that ever since qiao nan gave birth to her babies, she had to spend more time at home. it was unlikely that she would be able to do spectacularly well in her exams like how she did in the past.

therefore, elder lin had changed the learning schedule that he had designed for qiao nan.

elder lin knew that qiao nan did not have as much time as other students and she would not be able to score a perfect score in her exams. therefore, elder lin hoped that she would at least have a decent score and put her focus on knowledge learned outside of class as well as interpersonal relations and ways to network and socialize with other people.

diplomats from all over the world were cunning and crafty.

if qiao nan was not as diplomatic and tactful with words, and her attitude was not as firm, she might say the wrong words and be devoured by the other party. the other party would not go lenient on her just because she looked innocent and simple-minded.

elder lin felt worried that qiao nan was not firm enough. given her personality, if he insisted that she join the ministry of foreign affairs, would she bring trouble to herself and implicate the country?

he hoped that his disciple would stretch her limits and achieve success, but he had no wish to bring her harm.

with elder lin around, qiao nan was particularly busy in her second year of college.

as a student from the foreign language faculty, qiao nan had to work extra hard on her english. however, unlike other students, qiao nan had to go through her english exams long before other students in her batch.

qiao nan was already revising for her final term exams.
