From their first interaction, Ren demonstrated a sharp intellect and a keen eagerness to absorb knowledge. She listened intently, answered his questions with confidence, and displayed an impressive grasp of complex concepts. Tutor Chen's initial skepticism melted away, replaced by genuine satisfaction. He could see in Ren the traits of a devoted learner, much like her mother, Ling Li, had described.
How could Ling Li’s daughter be inferior? Impossible!
As days turned into weeks, Tutor Chen’s enthusiasm only grew. Ren's excellent learning ability and relentless curiosity made each session a joy. She approached each lesson with an open mind and a hunger for more. More often than not, Old Tutor Chen stayed behind to discuss further, answering Ren's insightful questions. This earnestness and dedication reminded Tutor Chen of his own fervor for learning and teaching.
