Hearing the homeroom teacher praising the top three students from the podium, Dong Wenqi's father couldn't help sighing in admiration. "Mr. Qin," He said to Qin Shao, who was sitting next to him, "You really educated your children well. Qin Yu and Qin Yue did excellently in this exam."
After a moment of silence, Dong Yaohua felt a bit awkward, only to realize that Mr. Qin didn't respond because he was busy looking at his children's test papers intently.
Qin Shao was reading Su Bei's Chinese exam's essay.
Father...
[My father is so excellent. In my opinion, he is very gentle and patient...He is also very powerful. He knows a lot of things, and it seems that there is nothing he can't do. Taking care of us may be the only thing he is not good at, but he is constantly learning...]
Su Bei's essay was just like herself: it was beautiful and warm.
After a slight pause, Mr. Qin continued reading.
[Coming to my father and become his daughter is probably the one thing I will never regret.]
The teacher who graded the essay didn't know about Su Bei and Su Xiaobao's past, so she simply thought that Su Bei was just using a metaphor: every child is a little angel who comes to their parents.
But Mr. Qin understood, and a smile emerged from his eyes: he also thankful for having them.
[When I was a child, I once imagined that my father is a superhero that can fly into the sky...] This was Su Bei's imagination from a long time ago. When she and Su Xiaobao were bullied, she always hoped that an omnipotent hero would come to chase off those bullies.
[But now, I only hope that he always be healthy and safe, and can accompany our growth...]
"I will." Mr. Qin whispered to himself.

At the same time, the homeroom teacher has also been paying attention to Mr. Qin's side. The moment she saw Mr. Qin smiled, the homeroom teacher widened her eyes slightly. She felt her face blushed and her heartbeat quickened.
Mr. Qin, who was rumored to have a perpetual stern face and was feared by everyone, is actually smiling?
At this moment, she finally seemed to understand the sentence 'my father is so gentle' in Su Bei's essay... But this 'gentleness' must be depended on Su Bei——The teacher secretly thought.
At the same time, she subconsciously remembered when the Chinese teacher came to her with Su Bei and Su Xiaobao's test papers in hand, asking suspiciously: "Su Bei and Su Xiaobao in your class are really twins? Are you sure they have the same father?"
The homeroom teacher: ...
Right now, Mr. Qin has moved to read Su Xiaobao's Chinese exam paper.
[To be honest, my father and I are actually not very familiar...]
The first line successfully made Mr. Qin's face darkened. He suddenly had a strong hunch that the stinky boy's essay was going to anger him to death.
[He is so stern, very boring, always have a cold face, and likes to use his one-sided principles to lecture us... I often wonder why he cannot get along with me?]
Su Xiaobao's essay was almost like a listing of his father's top ten 'shortcomings,' but for each one, he properly provided daily life examples as evidence.
[Although he has many shortcomings, as a whole, he is still a qualified father. I hope we can get along peacefully in the future.]
The teacher's comment was: "Using ironic style to describe the father's shortcomings first and adding praises later. The examples are vivid and interesting, fully reflect the warmth, daily conflict, and funny moments of the father-son relationship.
Mr. Qin snorted coldly: "Stinky boy."
He was quite sure Su Xiaobao wrote this essay very literally——absolutely had nothing to do with what the teacher thought to be so-called 'ironic style.'
...
At the same time outside the classroom, Su Be suddenly received a message from big brother Xu.
[4v]: Baby Q is so awesome, your homeroom teacher is complimenting you now.
Su Bei was stunned.
[Q]: Do you know who I am?
No!
[Q]: Are you attending the parent meeting for Xu Yangyang?!
[4v]: Did you suspect that I simply said it out of the whim?
Su Bei: Brother Xu Shiwei, it's not that I suspect you. It simply that your usual style of speech is too unreliable.
Su Bei was standing just outside the classroom. She peeped inside through the crack of the door and tried to look at a particular direction in a secretive manner. On Xu Yangyang's seat, Su Bei saw a young man in a light-colored suit, playing with his mobile phone with a smile on the corner of his lips.
Su Bei finally saw big brother Xu in person. His facial features were seventy to eighty percent similar to Xu Yangyang, but Xu Shiwei looked much more mature and steady than his brother. His overall appearance gave people the impression of a sunny, handsome, and fresh young man.
[Q]: I feel that my three views are collapsing. (1)
[4v]: Why, ah? Is it because you finally find out that I am more handsome than you thought?
[Q]:......
His appearance indeed contributed some points, but what shocked her the most was how big brother Xu looked so prim and proper, totally unlike his personality on the internet!
[4v]: Okay, I won't tease you anymore.
[4v]: But baby Q, I think I'm finished.
[Q]: What's wrong?
[4v]: Your father seems to know me.
Not only knew, but it was very likely that Mr. Qin has already recognized him. When his online accounts were blocked before, Xu Shiwei guessed that it might be father Q's doing. Since the other party could block his accounts, Xu Shiwei didn't doubt that his identity could also be found easily.
Su Bei smiled.
[Q]: Who told you to speak that way?
Su Bei: Deserve it.
[4v]: How did I know...
He thought [Q] was an otaku boy with god-level ability. If he knew that Su Bei was actually a minor girl, he wouldn't talk to her like that. And now... since he had long been used to it, he couldn't change it so quickly.
Sitting on his younger brother's seat, Xu Shiwei seemed to feel some chill from behind. He was in constant fear, worrying about whether Mr. Qin would suddenly come to finish him off.
[4v]: Have you talk to Mr. Qin about the finals?
The second round of the 'Red Hacker Challenge' has mostly passed. The last nine matches would be over in three days. After that, there would be a blank period for preparation, followed by the finals.
[Q]: Not yet...
She hasn't figured out how to tell Mr. Qin about this.

Inside the classroom, the parent meeting was about to end. The teacher finally put on the closing speech: "On this month's exam, our class's performance is excellent. I would also like to thank all the parents for their support of the children's study."
"Also, Weiming Middle School's sports event will be held next week, and the school is also looking forward to the parents to attend the opening ceremony..."
—
That evening, Mr. Qin took the photos of Su Bei and Su Xiaobao's school transcripts and uploaded them into his WeChat moments, with a short note: 'My children's monthly exam scores.' In just a few minutes, Mr. Qin received more than 40 likes and 30 comments.
Not many people could add Mr. Qin's WeChat. Before today, his friend list contained only a dozen or so important business partners. As for the others, they were only added today. After today's parent meeting, the homeroom teacher invited Mr. Qin into the parents' contact group of class 8-7. Afterward, a wave of [friend requests] ushered Mr. Qin's account.
[Du Yiming's mother wanted to add you as a friend.]
[Zhou Tao's father wanted to add you as a friend.]
......
[From 'Parent Contact Group of Class 8-7']
Originally, these parents were simply trying their luck, and no one dared to think that Mr. Qin would accept their friend's requests.
However, Mr. Qin actually accepted!
That afternoon, some parents tried to propose their projects to Mr. Qin via WeChat, but got blocked immediately. After that, no one dared to talk about business again. Afterward, the moments post Mr. Qin sent that evening became the 'stage' for all parents.
[Li Na's Mother]: Qin Yu and Qin Yue's scores are so excellent!
[Wang Jialu's Parents]: I really wish our family's Jialu can learn more from Qin Yu and Qin Yue.
[Chen Yuelin's parents]: Their scores are too enviable.
......
Mr. Qin actually replied to all 30 plus comments.
[Dong Wenqi's Father]: I have to thank Su Bei. This time, my daughter Dong Wenqi's grades have also improved a lot.
[Qin Shao]: No need for thanks. It is good for children to help each other.
[Lin Xiaoran's Mother]: Father Qin, how do you arrange private lessons for your family's Qin Yue and Qin Yu? Can you recommend some good tutors?
[Qin Shao]: My children don't need private lessons.
[Guo Tianqi's Parents]: My child Guo Tianqi's grades always bad. How does Mr. Qin usually educates your children? Is there perhaps some tips?
Mr. Qin: ...
His children's IQ followed him, so they naturally smart. However, Mr. Qin still replied to the comment concisely: Just let them study well.
...
Chen De wasn't on those parents' friend list and thus couldn't read their messages. When he suddenly saw over 30 replies in Mr. Qin's WeChat moments, the assistant was so scared that he almost threw his phone out.
Mr. Qin seldom made any WeChat posts. Even on those rare occasions, he mostly only forwarding some important announcements from Qin Group and never replied to anyone. If the post wasn't about Xiaobao and Xiaobei, Chen De would have suspected that Mr. Qin's account has been hacked.
As a dutiful assistant, Chen De carefully read Mr. Qin's replies from the beginning to end. If he had to comment: Mr. Qin's replies are concise and to the point, but there is visible pride in his word choice. Moreover, he is clearly enjoying it.

On Saturday, Su Bei finally attended the opening ceremony for 'NST Subsidiary.' However, she did not participate as [Q]. This NST project was a dual collaboration, with Lin Group holding 49% of the shares and Qin Group 51%. So, Mr. Qin gave Lin Shaochi some face and personally attended the subsidiary's opening ceremony, with Su Bei was tailing behind as his little companion.
Qin Group had a lot of industries, so these kinds of activities were common for Mr. Qin. Initially, he didn't intend to bring his children over. However, at breakfast in the morning, Su Bei saw that Mr. Qin had changed into a suit and was obviously about to go out. She immediately remembered Lin Shaochi's messages that the opening ceremony for the subsidiary would be held today.
Su Bei: "Dad, are you going to the company today?"
Qin Shao: "No, it's for the opening ceremony of NST subsidiary. I'll be back in the afternoon."
Su Bei: "Can you take me along, Dad?"
"This is just a normal business event." Qin Shao was worried that Su Bei might get bored.
"But staying at home is so boring." Su Bei's eyes shone brightly, with an eager look that made Mr. Qin unable to refuse.
And thus, in addition to Chen De, two children tagged along behind Mr. Qin today.
...
Besides the standard program, the highlight of today's opening ceremony was the product display. On a stage exhibition, Lin Group introduced the 'NST Project' to the attendees in a video format. In addition, there was also an innovative simulation segment for demonstration.
Laymen looked at the exterior, while experts observed the inner working. For those who didn't understand, it was just a simple display, but in Su Bei's eyes, these are the results of her hard work together with the people in the NST's technology department. Seeing her abstract vision being realized little by little until it turned into today's perfect presentation, Su Bei was more excited than anyone else.
Mr. Qin lowered his head and saw Su Bei looking intently at the central venue's simulation display. Her eyes were so bright like a sea of stars. Mr. Qin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Do you like this kind of thing?"
Qin Shao's voice pulled Su Bei back to reality. With a wide smile, she nodded: "Yes."
"This project has a very high prospect. In the future, it will definitely make a lot of money."
Hearing Su Bei's words, Mr. Qin chuckled twice. He didn't really care about Su Bei's 'make a lot of money' and only remembered her excited face.
