Elder Zheng knew his old friend very well and understood that if it hadn't been for a significant blow dealt to Zhou Shengsheng by family issues back in the day, his achievements by now could have possibly surpassed his own.
Elder Zheng was one of the few privy to the research topic that Zhou Shengsheng held in his hands back then, which was why he found it particularly regrettable.
Zhou Shengsheng's student had ultimately failed to live up to the expectations his teacher had set for him.
However, the fact that he could receive a call from Zhou Shengsheng now, could it mean that he had stepped out of his past shadows?
Elder Zheng, with a heart leaping in excitement, eagerly answered the call.
"Really? Are you serious?"
"If that's the case, I can...."
Mrs. Zheng was watering the flowers in the courtyard, faintly hearing her husband's startled exclamations from inside the room.
