Shanghai Jiao Tong University's future entrustment app: I will take my motherland flying.

Chapter 88 "That's because the phoenix once broke its wings and fell into the mountains, which is how it gave birth to a genius."

Undeniably, the director did have a kind heart and wanted to help the children in the mountains, but unfortunately...

In the parallel universe where Ke Yifei retired from the entertainment industry, the show was ultimately taken down because of the incident involving Ke Yifei, Hu Zi, and Xie Lingyun.

Many netizens even attacked the director, saying that if it weren't for him filming this program, he would have chosen Jiupan Village as the location.

They wouldn't have known that Tiger existed, and then none of the subsequent events would have happened.

Song Zhining didn't know what Zhang Lin's fate was in that parallel universe, but it certainly wasn't good.

"Class, I'm one of your new teachers this week. My name is Shen Xingyi, and you can call me Teacher Shen. I teach you math. Okay, now, please stand up one by one, introduce yourselves to Teacher Shen, and then tell me your wishes, okay?"

Shen Xingyi's words interrupted Song Zhining's thoughts. She looked at Shen Xingyi on the stage, and then followed her gaze into the classroom.

His gaze then fell precisely on a 10-year-old boy.

The boy sat upright, his clothes were very clean, his two little hands were folded on the table, and his eyes were looking straight ahead, very seriously.

He has good facial features, and his skin is not as dark as the other children here.

Therefore, most people can develop a liking for this boy at first glance.

Soon, it was the boy's turn to introduce himself.

"Hello, Teacher Shen. My name is Li Hu. My grandparents and father call me Hu Zi. You can also call me Hu Zi, teacher... My wish is to study hard and become a useful person who can help others."

Tiger.

Having experienced the situation firsthand, Song Zhining recognized him immediately.

It's a very simple wish.

Unfortunately, he failed to do either to study hard or to help others and become a useful person.

At first glance, this child looks sincere, simple, and good-looking, which makes him instantly likable.

But upon closer inspection, the child exudes a sense of hypocrisy; everything about him seems fake.

After the children finished introducing themselves, Shen Xingyi began the class.

After Shen Xingyi finished her class, it was time for a break, and then it was Ke Yifei's turn to teach.

Shen Xingyi and Song Zhining did not plan to leave; they intended to stay and watch Ke Yifei's class.

Shen Xingyi stayed because she liked Ke Yifei, while Song Zhining naturally wanted to see if Ke Yifei would still be fooled by Hu Zi.

So the two of them sat at the back of the classroom. Not long after, Ke Yifei came in with his textbooks. He was going to teach the children a Chinese language class.

……

That day, there were 5 classes, and all 5 guests attended one class.

Then it was time for the five guests to choose which child's home they wanted to stay in.

In fact, there's a high probability that choosing which child's home to live with will lead to sponsoring that child later on.

Among them, three guests chose Hu Zi, and when Song Zhi Ning saw that one of them was Ke Yi Fei, she was not surprised at all.

"Surprisingly, three people have chosen to stay at Hu Zi's house. Can you three tell us why you chose Hu Zi?" Director Zhang Lin asked.

"I think I get along very well with Hu Zi. He is a kind, lively and simple child."

"In class, Tiger is the most attentive student; he's a child who loves learning."

When it was Ke Yifei's turn, his story was different. "I asked the previous teachers here, and they said that Hu Zi is the smartest student here. I even gave him some advanced math problems to test him. He had never encountered them before, but he solved them all. I think he is no worse than the children in the city, and you could even say he is a genius. So, I want to sponsor him and live in his house to observe him further."

"If he really is a genius, I hope that I can sponsor his studies and that he can give back to society after he finishes his studies. That is what I hope to see most."

Ke Yifei's blunt words left the other two speechless.

In fact, they knew that Tiger was smart and that choosing which family to stay with was very likely a way of supporting that family.

They also wanted to sponsor Tiger. Rather than sponsoring those with mediocre talent, it would be better to sponsor a genius. That way, if Tiger achieved anything in the future, they would also have something to be proud of.

As for the others, the chances of them achieving anything in the future are extremely low.

However, they didn't say it out loud, even though they thought it in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, Ke Yifei said it so bluntly.

This left them momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.

Ultimately, the director decided that Ke Yifei would stay at Hu Zi's house, while the other two guests chose two other students.

Shen Xingyi chose a girl from the same village as Hu Zi.

"Why didn't you choose Tiger, but instead chose that girl named Huahua?" Song Zhining asked.

Shen Xingyi blinked and said in a clear voice, "I didn't think too much about it. I just thought that girls always have it harder than boys, so I wanted to give them more help."

As he spoke, Shen Xingyi leaned close to Song Zhining's ear and whispered, "There are 23 children, but only 5 are girls. Actually, I plan to sponsor all 5 of them in the end."

After speaking, Shen Xingyi looked at Song Zhining with bright eyes, like a child eager for praise.

Song Zhining was both amused and exasperated. Although Shen Xingyi was older than her, after getting to know him, he felt more like her twin brother.

At that moment, her heart softened unconsciously.

"Yes, that's fine, I support you."

"What are you whispering about?" At this moment, Ke Yifei walked over. After spending some time with him, the approachable Ke Yifei got along well with both Shen Xingyi and his assistant, Song Zhining.

Especially last time in Dalian Village, Song Zhining helped Ke Yifei.

Looking at Ke Yifei, whose face was beaming with joy, Song Zhining asked, "Teacher Ke, do you really like that kid named Huzi?"

"Yes, I really like it and admire it," Ke Yifei replied without hesitation.

Song Zhining: ...

It's a pity that the child you liked and admired ended up stabbing you in the back.

"Teacher Ke, how can Hu Zi, a child from the mountains, be considered a genius?" Song Zhi Ning asked again.

These words made Ke Yifei frown. "Assistant Song, are you saying that geniuses can't come from the mountains? That's not a good way of thinking."

His expression was somewhat serious as he criticized Song Zhining, feeling that Song Zhining looked down on children from the mountains.

Song Zhining shook her head. "No, I've just heard a saying before—"

Why do geniuses sometimes emerge from the mountains?

"That's because the phoenix once broke its wings and landed in the mountains, which is how it gave birth to a genius."
