Chapter 013: Chen Zihan Visits

At the podium, Xiao Han's teaching style was very special and extremely humorous, full of charm and wit. He didn't adopt the rigid, clichéd teaching methods of other teachers at the school. Instead, he used a very novel approach. He broke down a complex function problem into several simple formulas, simply using a step-by-step method to solve it.

Xiao Han's problem-solving approach was also very unique. The students below listened very intently.

Even Li Hengzhong found it very interesting. Every time Xiao Han's dark humor came out, he couldn't help but laugh.

The morning's lessons felt very relaxed and pleasant. This was mainly because Xiao Han's teaching style was very distinctive, and his analysis of each problem showed his own insights. No matter how complex or difficult the problems were, Xiao Han could solve them using at least two different methods. This made the students on the scene admire his abilities endlessly.

Soon, the class ended.

Xiao Han, carrying his lecture notes, left through the back door and quickly made his way down the stairs.

"Wow, this teacher is so handsome."

"The teacher is so mysterious."

"We don't even know what he looks like?"

A group of girls chattered excitedly; Xiao Han's appearance was undoubtedly remarkable. His tall stature, white shirt, and black pants made his legs look long. His flowing hairstyle and fresh, tousled hair made him a pleasing sight at first glance. Even Chen Zihan felt he was very handsome. Especially those clear, transparent eyes; they always made Chen Zihan feel as if she had seen them somewhere before. Those captivating eyes were enchanting.

"Zi Han, this teacher is really mysterious," Jiang Xiaoliang said, surprised.

"Yes!" Chen Zihan nodded and said, "We don't even know his name yet."

"However, I think his way of solving problems is really good," Jiang Xiaoliang said excitedly. "I want to study his problem-solving methods when I get back. I think they could be very useful."

"Mhm," Chen Zihan nodded.

It wasn't just the two of them; in fact, every student there felt they had learned a lot that day. They were eager to go back and digest the new information.

Li Hengzhong wanted to have a chat with Xiao Han, but when he looked for him, Xiao Han had already disappeared without a trace.

"This kid runs faster than a rabbit!" Li Hengzhong shook his head helplessly.

Fuxing Community.

Li Dapang, riding his old bicycle, intercepted Xiao Han at the factory gate.

"Xiao Han, what exactly were you up to today?" Li Dapang asked, out of breath. "Wearing a mask while teaching?"

"Isn't it to avoid unnecessary trouble?" Xiao Han chuckled and said, "As long as heaven and earth, you and I know about this, let's not let anyone else find out."

"Okay!" Li Dapang nodded, laughing, "Xiao Han, do you know how much money we have now?"

"How much?" Xiao Han asked.

"Well, we've collected a hundred thousand yuan," Li Dapang said excitedly, pulling the backpack off his back and unzipping it. "Look!"

Xiao Han leaned over, and indeed, the backpack was stuffed full of cash.

He took out ten thousand yuan and handed it to Li Dapang, "Big Fatty, here's ten thousand for you!"

Li Dapang was stunned, then said, "Okay!"

After that, Li Dapang handed the backpack to Xiao Han, saying, "Originally, it was all your money. Brother, the fact that you're sharing ten thousand with me already means you respect me."

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Han glanced at Li Dapang and said, "Take the remaining ninety thousand to the bank, and we'll find other investments when the right opportunity comes. Money can only make more money when it's invested, understand?"

Li Dapang was surprised and immediately understood Xiao Han's point. He took a deep breath and said, "I get it, I can't take this ten thousand."

"If I tell you to take it, you take it!" Xiao Han looked at him and said, "You've earned it. Use this ten thousand to buy some clean clothes, and also get yourself a motorbike. It's time to retire that old bike of yours."

"Heh heh..." Li Dapang scratched his head with a silly smile.

Xiao Han didn't take a single penny, after all, he couldn't touch the money from the first month of the training class. No one knew whether they would continue to stay. If his teaching wasn't good, wouldn't he be out of a job?

Moreover, Xiao Han didn't want anyone to know about this.

Xiao Han's enjoyable teaching style sparked the students' interest in learning. In addition, the Hanmen Training Class gained popularity in Linjiang City.

When he got back home, Mother Xiao was cooking.

"Xiao Han, you're back?" Mother Xiao peeked out.

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded.

The table was already full of dishes. With only mother and son at home, it felt very quiet, the two depended on each other for life.

"Xiao Han, I heard there's a Hanmen Training Class that's very popular recently," Mother Xiao looked at Xiao Han and said, "And it's endorsed by the principal of your Linjiang No.1 Middle School, too. I was thinking, maybe I can try to get you enrolled. The college entrance exam is coming up..."

"Mom, it's already full," Xiao Han smiled and said, "They're not accepting any more students."

"Between people, it's all about relationships," Mother Xiao reassured Xiao Han, then added, "I'll think of something, see if I can get you a spot."

Recently, Mother Xiao had uncovered a huge secret.

That was her son had, for some reason, fallen in love with studying recently, diving into his books as soon as he got home every day, poring over all kinds of Olympiad math books and various Huanggang test papers. And yes, he would stay up studying until two o'clock in the morning. Seeing her son working so hard brought great comfort to her heart. She knew that he had fallen behind in his studies, so she kept thinking about how she could help him catch up.

Just yesterday at work, a colleague had mentioned a training class called Hanmen, a very popular tutoring agency right now. Many top students from schools in the city of Linjiang had signed up for this training class. So, Mother Xiao had the idea and decided to try to enroll her son there as well.

"Mom, the Hanmen Training Class costs a thousand yuan a month, it's too expensive," Xiao Han hurriedly shook his head, "We can't afford it."

"Don't worry, as long as you can get into college," Mother Xiao looked at her handsome son seriously, the older he got, the more he resembled his dad. She gently touched Xiao Han's head and soothingly said, "I'm willing to pay whatever it costs."

Xiao Han felt deeply moved, a sentiment that came from the bottom of his heart. The bond between mother and son was deep.

"Mom, I don't want it," Xiao Han shook his head.

The family's monthly income was barely over two thousand yuan. If they signed up for such a training class, they would be in complete poverty. Besides, he himself was the one behind the training class, and naturally, he did not want his mother to waste money.

"Silly boy," Mother Xiao smiled, then said, "Hurry up and eat, get some rest early after dinner. Don't study too late."

"Okay!" Xiao Han nodded.

At seven-thirty in the evening.

After taking a bath, Xiao Han returned to his room alone to read and prepare lessons. Normally, he had no time for lesson preparation and had to take advantage of the nighttime.

Just as Xiao Han was getting ready to review his lessons.

Knock knock knock...

Suddenly, a knocking sound arose.

Mother Xiao had to go out to shine shoes at night, so Xiao Han was alone at home. He walked over curiously and after opening the door, he looked at the person standing there in amazement and asked in astonishment, "Chen Zihan, you... you..."

"Hehe!" Chen Zihan chuckled, "What? Aren't you happy to see me?"

"Of course not!" Xiao Han shook his head, and asked awkwardly, "Is there something you need from me?"

"Yes!" Chen Zihan nodded, "I came here today because I want to... but shouldn't you invite me in first?"

"Come in," Xiao Han quickly stepped aside.

Although Xiao Han's place was modest, it was very neat and spotless. The early decoration was already quite outdated. Chen Zihan, carrying a few books, entered and looked around Xiao Han's home curiously.

"Zi Han, what do you need from me?" Xiao Han asked curiously.

"Can't I come see you if there's nothing?" Chen Zihan said with a playful laugh.

Chen Zihan was tall and slender, with a height over one meter sixty, wearing a short skirt and a white T-shirt. She looked youthful and pretty, lively and adorable. Her eyes, curved like crescent moons, beamed with brilliant smiles. This girl was truly charming, not only with a beautiful face, flawless in every way. Even her figure was perfectly curved, with long legs and a high, raised chest. Probably most men could not resist looking at her.

"You can!" Xiao Han quickly nodded.

Being just a fledgling, he felt somewhat awkward when faced with women, especially a school beauty like Chen Zihan. In Linjiang No.1 Middle School, with thousands of students, Chen Zihan was a one in a million. Faced with such a peerless beauty, Xiao Han naturally felt at a loss.

Chen Zihan, on the other hand, appeared very relaxed and confident.

"Come in," Chen Zihan entered Xiao Han's room, then smiled and said, "I'm here today to teach you a lesson."

"Teach?" Xiao Han was taken aback, "Teach what?"

"The lessons from the Hanmen Training Class," Chen Zihan smiled, "I know you didn't sign up, so I came especially to teach you. I think that teacher from Hanmen is really great, truly very strong."

"Really?" Xiao Han was slightly startled, then laughed, "So... what does that mysterious teacher look like?"

"I don't know," Chen Zihan replied with a hint of disappointment, "I want to see what he looks like too. I think he's handsome, about your height, it's just too bad he wears a mask when he teaches. Sigh..."

Xiao Han's heart couldn't help but feel joyful; if Chen Zihan discovered that the teacher giving the lessons was him, he wondered what her reaction would be.

"That is a pity," Xiao Han nodded.
