Song Qingyou led Tang Guoguo upstairs.
Just as she reached the entrance of Room 503, someone called out to her from behind.
It was Tang Guoguoâs father, Tang Shu.
âHello, Teacher Song!â
Tang Shu limped upstairs and quickly took out the key. His hand was still trembling when he opened the door.
âIâm really sorry. I originally agreed to come back earlier today. 1 didnât expect that I would suddenly be delayedâ¦â
âThe house is a little messy. Please donât mind.â
Tang Shuâs face was full of apology. He pushed open the door and invited Song Qingyou in.
The Tang familyâs father and daughter lived in a rented house with two bedrooms and one living room. Although it was said to be two bedrooms and one living room, it was actually just two random cubicles in a house of dozens of square meters. The actual space was very small.
The interior of the house was very simple. Other than a television and a fan, there was no refrigerator or air conditioner.
There were many clothes piled on the chairs in the room, and all kinds of junk was piled in the corners and on the floor. It looked messy, but it was not dirty.
âIâm really sorry for the mess. Itâs not easy for Teacher to come to our houseâ¦
Iâll clean it up right away. Have a seat first, Iâll pour some tea.â
Tang Shu wiped the chair hard and invited Song Qingyou to sit down.
âActually, 1 was the one who suddenly said that I wanted to come for a home visit. I should be the one apologizing.â
Song Qingyou sat down and told Tang Shu not to worry about this.
âI came here today mainly to talk to you about Guoguo.â
âWas it about last time-â
Tang Shu paused for a moment and said to Guoguo, âGuoguo, go back to your room to play. Daddy wants to talk to the teacher.â
Tang Guoguo obediently returned to her room.
Tang Shu faced Song Qingyou alone and rubbed his knees nervously.
âYou said that Guoguo might need to go to the hospital for a check-up. Donât worry about that. When this monthâs salary arrives, Iâll bring her there immediately.â
âNot just this.â Song Qingyou asked, âCan I ask what you do for a living?â
âItâs not a proper job.â Tang Shu smiled awkwardly. âI clean up, pack things, and sort packages⦠I just do whatever I can.â
âIâm just a little afraid of embarrassing Guoguo.â
Thinking about it, this was also the reason why Tang Shu did not send Tang Guoguo to the kindergarten.
Song Qingyou looked at his rough hands.
âYou look like a hardworking person⦠Logically speaking, there are still subsidies to be received. Whyâ¦â
âMy familyâs business went bankrupt a few years ago and I owed money. Later, my wife was diagnosed with cancer and I spent a lot of money for her treatment⦠She left three years ago, but I still have a lot of debtsâ¦â
When Tang Shu said these words, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
âThen Guoguo is-â
Song Qingyou wanted to say that Guoguo was the daughter of Tang Shuâs wife.
Who knew that Tang Shu would reveal a big piece of news to her, âBoth of us have some health problems. Guoguo is the child she picked upâ¦â
Song Qingyou was stunned. No wonder the father and daughter had such a large age gap!
âDoes Guoguo know?â
âShe knows.â Tang Shu narrowed his eyes. âAt that time, I thought that she was young and might be adopted by someone with better conditionsâ¦â
He didnât expect Guoguo, who was only two years old at that time, to cry and refuse to leave.
The little ball kept calling him daddy, and Tang Shu could not bear to send him away.
âMs. Song, Guoguo should be obedient in kindergarten, right? This child doesnât like to talk much outsideâ¦â
âSheâs very obedient.â
Song Qingyou explained, âIâm not here to complain. 1 have something to discuss with you.â
âYes.â Tang Shu heaved a sigh of relief. âPlease tell me, Teacher.â
âGuoguo seems to like playing the piano very much. I realized that she has a talent in this area, so I want to take her in as a student first.â
Song Qingyou felt that her skill was not bad and would not bury Tang Guoguoâs talent.
When Tang Shu heard this, he was very shocked. He stuttered and asked, âT-Teacherâ¦Really?â
Without waiting for Song Qingyou to answer, he said sadly, âBut⦠I canât afford to buy Guoguo a pianoâ¦â
âThis is the second thing I want to talk about.â
Song Qingyou said, âTo be honest, Mr. Tang, I donât have much money, otherwise I wouldnât want to teach Guoguo myself⦠But her talent should not be buried, so I want to support her.â
It was actually an investment.
Song Qingyou would pay off the debts of the Tang family and spend money on Tang Guoguo. After Tang Guoguo completed her studies, she would sign a contract with Shengshi to work for Song Qingyou.
âThereâs no problem with Guoguo.â Tang Shu hesitated. âBut how can I trouble you with my familyâs debtâ¦â
âThen Mr. Tang, you can work for me too. Since you can do so many jobs, you should have no problem being an assistant.â
It just so happened that Xu Xingzhou was still lacking an assistant.
âItâs possible.â
Tang Shu felt that he had made a huge profit.
âItâs fine as long as you can. Thereâs no need to say âbutâ.â
Song Qingyou made a quick decision. â1â11 get my manager to contact you.â
Tang Shu nodded.
He was still a little confused.
However, a big star like Song Qingyou didnât need to tease the father and daughter.
âThatâs all I wanted to say.â
Song Qingyou got up to leave.
Tang Shu quickly called Guoguo out.
âGuoguo, Teacher Song will teach you how to play the piano in the future. Are you happy?â
âIâm happy!â
Tang Guoguo laughed and couldnât help but hold Teacher Youziâs hand.
Seeing that his daughter liked this teacher very much, Tang Shu felt even more at ease.
Hearing that Song Qingyou was leaving, the father and daughter even sent her downstairs.
The camera waiting outside captured this scene, but no one knew the contents of the home visit.
That evening, Chen Lan arrived right after Song Qingyou left.
After the two parties negotiated and signed the contract, they also moved the Tang father and daughter to a new house.
At night, Song Qingyou contacted Chen Lan, wanting to video call her cat.
Looking at the black and white cat lying on the sofa like a rectangular blanket, she really wanted to run back and rub it.
âIs Zhizhi alright these two days?â
âWhat can happen to it?â Chen Lan rolled her eyes.âIt eats and sleeps every day. Itâs much more comfortable than us!â
âItâs just that this cat fur is flying everywhere. How do you usually tolerate it?â
âAlso, it seems to be very interested in the fish-catching game on the tabletâ¦â Jiang Zhihan, who was sitting on the sofa, opened his eyes and gracefully wagged his tail. His dark green eyes gave Chen Lan a cold and disdainful look.
If he had not tried to contact Fang Yan in his cat form, he would not have played the fish-catching game!
Song Qingyou, who was in front of the screen, had no idea what her cat was thinking. When she heard that the cat liked to play games, she immediately said, âThen buy him a tablet.â
She had also seen kittens play that game in some pet videos. The catâs claws stretched out and retracted, and it was especially cute.
âCat slave!â Chen Lan rolled her eyes.
After saying that, Song Qingyou brought up the matter of charity.
âThe company has just started. Why do you want to do charity?â Chen Lan disagreed. âYou just have to donate more at those charity events. Wouldnât that be fine? Itâs better to do it in a high-profile way.â
âA gala is a gala. I donât know where the money donated from the gala would go.â
Song Qingyou only had this idea after seeing Tang Guoguoâs house.
Chen Lan knew that she always kept her word. After complaining a little, she still obediently planned the charity foundation with her..
