The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 246 You're the only idiot (4.2K)

When do you think would be a good time?

Chen Jingle smiled and asked in return.

Li Beixing covered her face, feeling her cheeks burning hot.

Going to Chen Jingle's house to meet his mother was already embarrassing enough, but the thought of taking him home to meet my parents made my mouth dry and my head feel like it was about to burst into flames.

"Actually, I haven't told my parents about dating yet."

She stammered.

Sigh, it's just that she's too timid; she's too embarrassed to even talk to her family about dating.

Even though they've already graduated and started working, they're still acting like they were in their student days.

Li Beixing, you're so useless!

She secretly parted her fingers to peek at Chen Jingle, wanting to see what expression he had on his face.

She found Chen Jingle still smiling, and immediately said coquettishly, "What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?"

Chen Jingle grinned and said, "Teacher Li, I wasn't laughing. My face just had a spasm."

"..."

Li Beixing was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

Okay, okay, you're treating your girlfriend like an idiot, aren't you?
The next second, Chen Jingle's expression switched to a gentle smile: "Whenever you feel it's appropriate, just say so. I respect your thoughts, it's not like it has to be right now. Parents' opinions are certainly important, but during the dating stage, it's more about the two of us talking. Marriage is too early to talk about."

Li Beixing was slightly taken aback, then a smile appeared on his lips: "Then I'll let my parents know a little something when I get back."

I wonder what her parents' expressions will be like then.

Shock?

Feeling sentimental?

Happy?

Hmm, I can't quite imagine it, but I guess they all exist.

And they'll most likely ask me a lot of questions. How should I introduce Chen Jingle to them then? Where should I begin?
Li Beixing's thoughts drifted far away.

Chen Jingle glanced at her, somewhat amused: "Do you really think your parents know absolutely nothing about it?"

"Probably...!"

Li Beixing was uncertain and a little guilty: "I acted very normally in front of them."

She thinks she's a pretty good actress.

Chen Jingle sighed and said, "You've taken so much food home before, didn't they ever ask you anything?"

"They asked, but I said it was a friend who made it. They didn't ask any more questions then," Li Beixing replied naively.

Chen Jingle: "..."

Li Beixing came to her senses, somewhat incredulous: "You mean... they actually discovered it a long time ago, but just didn't expose me?"

"You think you've hidden yourself very well?" Chen Jingle chuckled.

"what--!"

Li Beixing immediately covered her face and screamed.

What a shame!

It turns out that I was the only one kept in the dark from beginning to end.

She thought she had disguised herself very well!

I'm so stupid, really.

Chen Jingle burst into laughter.

If I were to tell Li Beixing that I had actually met her father before, and more than once, I wonder what her reaction would be?
Hmm, never mind, let's not talk about it for now, otherwise it will be too troublesome to explain. When we visit her house, everything will be clear.

I imagine Teacher Li's expression at that moment must have been priceless.

It's interesting just to think about it.

As for my future mother-in-law, I hope she'll be easy to talk to. As long as I'm not kicked out on the spot, there's still a chance.

"Chen Jingle, are you feeling smug right now?" Li Beixing crossed her arms and glared at him angrily.

Chen Jingle: "???"

This will also redirect the firepower towards me?
"Ahem, no, no, I just think... maybe the uncles and aunts are enjoying it."

Chen Jingle quickly tried to find an excuse to cover it up.

Enjoying it is one thing, but it's clearly just watching a show in secret!

Li Beixing, with a stiff neck and a stern face, said: "Fine! I'll go back and tell my parents the truth, let's see how tough you are then! Don't be at a loss for words."

Chen Jingle chuckled: "Whether I'm tough or not is hard to say, but at least I won't be so nervous that my palms sweat and my limbs go weak."

Li Beixing was even angrier, so angry that he gritted his teeth.

How dare you mock me?

If I hadn't seen him driving, I would have really wanted to fight him.

"Hmph, you better really be one!"

She decided to ignore him for 10 minutes and deliberately turned her head to look out the window.

However, two minutes passed and the car remained quiet with no one speaking.

Li Beixing couldn't resist secretly taking out her phone, switching to the front-facing camera, to see what expression that guy would have.

She then discovered that Chen Jingle was smiling and looking in her direction, even giving a peace sign to the camera.

Li Beixing couldn't help but laugh, then quickly put away her phone, her face hardening again: "Drive carefully!!"

Tsk~!

Even when Teacher Li scolds someone, there's a hint of coquetry in her voice.

……

Back in the studio.

Li Beixing left all the return gifts from Chen Jingle's mother at the studio.

Anyway, she comes over often and eats whenever she wants.

After spending a little time with Chen Jingle, he drove back home.

Although she had confidently declared in Chen Jingle's car that she would tell her parents the truth when she got home, she became a little timid once she arrived.

He was so hesitant and awkward that he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Should I just say, "Mom and Dad, I'm in a relationship"?

Is this really okay?

She was really afraid that her mother would raise her eyebrows and say, "You're still too young, why are you trying to date?"

Well, that's a real stereotype.

Although her family didn't explicitly forbid her from dating while she was in school, they subtly advised her not to easily find a boyfriend, not to be deceived, and to carefully select one.

In addition, she studied at a teacher's college, which meant that she couldn't find a suitable job during her university years.

After graduation, I discovered that people in society are far less innocent than those in university, and I gradually learned to keep my distance from others. It wasn't until I met Chen Jingle that my mindset began to change.

At first, she observed and screened Chen Jingle, and only decided to take the initiative when she found him to be suitable.

Be brave just this once.

Didn't you see how nervous he was when he accompanied Chen Jingle back to see his mother?

Li Beixing was internally having second thoughts.

"Hmm, how about we wait a little longer? Pick a day that Mom and Dad are happy about? They've probably already guessed it anyway."

With this thought in mind, Li Beixing immediately felt relieved.

……

The observant Jiang Zhiqin noticed that her daughter had acquired another bracelet.

They don't shy away from it at all!

Why "again"? Because a few days ago, she saw a shiny gold bracelet on her daughter's wrist, and she knew something was up.

Wow, they've even arranged for gold bracelets, not bad!

She didn't ask on the spot, but waited to see when her daughter would bring it up herself.

But to my surprise, they had no intention of saying anything at all.

Alright, let's see how long you can stay silent.

Then today, after dressing up carefully and going out, I came back with another piece of jade, and it was an old piece of jade.

Could it be that he secretly went to meet her parents without her knowledge, and they gave it to him?
hiss~~
Jiang Zhiqin took a deep breath.

To be fair, she doesn't object to her daughter dating freely; she's open to it as long as it's suitable.

The key is to talk, why hide it? Before, when they were testing the waters, they were evasive and refused to admit anything.

The silly daughter thought she had hidden it well, which was really laughable.

And you've already accepted their bracelets without telling your family, what kind of behavior is that?
Are you planning to wait until the child is born and can call her "Grandma" before telling your family?
Speechless, I couldn't help but think to myself, "I'll see how long you plan to keep this a secret!"

She felt that a well-behaved girl wouldn't be so lacking in manners.

As for Li Qiguang...

He has already met Chen Jingle and is very satisfied with this future son-in-law, so what else is there to say?

She just didn't tell Jiang Zhiqin.

Therefore, Li Beixing was not the only one kept in the dark.

……

Chen Jingle wasn't in a hurry to discuss the specifics with Li Beixing's family, saying he respected her wishes.

Anyway, I've already passed the test with my future father-in-law. Now it's up to my future mother-in-law. I'll try my best to please her and make a good impression.

In this way, the problem should be easily solved.

Next, focus returned to himself.

It has been quite a while since the last update of the custom attribute panel.

Today happens to be the first day of 2025, a new beginning, so Chen Jingle decided to update his status to have a more intuitive understanding of his current situation.

……

……

Regarding height, if we consider that he grew 8 centimeters in just over 3 months, that's actually a bit exaggerated.

The time when he grew the fastest during his middle school years was during the summer vacation between junior high and high school. By the time of his physical examination at the beginning of the semester, he had grown by almost 10 centimeters.

This situation can only occur during adolescence.

Now, with the system's help, the secondary development can still maintain such an exaggerated growth rate, which even Chen Jingle himself is a bit astonished about.

"I just don't know how tall it will eventually grow."

He didn't want to become a two-meter giant; that would be too outrageous.

Actually, things are fine as they are now.

Honestly, for people from the South, a height of just over 1.8 meters is already quite good.

The key is to look at body proportions. Like him now, his proportions are good, and he gives the impression of being more than 1.8 meters tall, at least 1.85 meters tall.

Due to his muscle density, he appears rather thin, and you can only see his strong physique when he takes off his clothes.

After more than three months of persistent exercise, coupled with a high intake of energy-rich foods that are easily converted into fat, my physique is more perfect than many people who have been training for a whole year. I'm currently at the stage where I only attract the opposite sex and not the same sex.

Strength should be the fastest growing stat.

After all, he has been doing push-ups for a long time, so he can now easily carry Li Beixing in a princess carry.

Looking back, I was a weakling who could barely do push-ups without feeling like a butterfly flapping its wings, which makes me feel a bit nostalgic.

Once vision has recovered to its optimal state, even if there is further improvement, the values ​​should not all change, because the highest value is 5.3.

Let's not talk about appearance anymore; Chen Jingle doesn't care about that anymore. On the contrary, Li Beixing cares more about it. He even has to watch over him when he gets a haircut, afraid that the hairdresser will make him look bad.

Chen Jingle wasn't worried at all.

The system assigns him image management tasks every now and then. His aesthetic sense is generally good; he can pull off most hairstyles, as long as they aren't too outlandish.

He couldn't possibly get a mushroom haircut or a natural birth haircut.

As for deposits, gold bars are not included; it only includes the balance in the bank card.

The salaries from Hongqi Company haven't been paid yet, otherwise they could have been even higher.

The final knowledge and skills module is, frankly, still insufficient.

Chen Jingle personally felt it wasn't enough.

After all, there are so many professional subjects, and there are many that we haven't learned yet. Even just considering what we have learned, there is still a lot of room for improvement in our professional level.

Next, he may pursue a career in agronomy.

One is to combine theory with practice and put their ideals into action.

Another reason is that we hope to provide some assistance to the development of Hongqi.

It's like he's pursuing both theory and technology, so that some people won't think he gets such a high salary because he got it through connections.

Although it was indeed done through connections.

However, Chen Jingle felt that as the big boss of Hongqi Company, Li Qiguang should uphold the rules even more. If even he doesn't respect the rules, then there's no way his subordinates will.

Therefore, as a strategic development consultant for the company, one must use one's abilities to help maintain the boss's image, ensure that salaries are paid in full, and gain the respect and acceptance of subordinates, rather than being outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant.

Throughout history, anyone who wants to accomplish something great has always feared being led by an outsider, especially an outsider who gives blind, incompetent instructions.

It's not that he wants to devote himself to scientific research; he simply doesn't have that much time for it.

Moreover, scientific research is very tedious, and he was afraid he wouldn't have the patience for it.

Chen Jingle's requirement for himself is simply to understand the technology so that he won't be completely lost when others talk about it.

……

The major classifications of agronomy in China include plant production, forest resources, environmental ecology, animal production, veterinary medicine, and aquaculture.

Chen Jingle personally prefers plant production-related majors.

After all, Hongqi is engaged in large-scale fruit and vegetable planting business.

The agricultural college of China's best agricultural university has an undergraduate and graduate training program that is well worth referencing.

You can learn about courses such as crop genetics and breeding, crop cultivation and management, new crop variety selection, seed bioengineering, plant pathology, and soil and ecological management.

After completing undergraduate studies, students can then refer to master's and doctoral programs to further their studies in areas such as crop cultivation and tillage, crop genetics and breeding, seed science and technology, crop physiology, and biomass engineering.

If Chen Jingle intends to pursue an academic career, he should be able to achieve more in the field of agriculture, and the academic value of such achievements would be higher than that of pure social science theory.

However, he had limited interest in this area.

To reiterate, he doesn't require research capabilities or a high level of knowledge; he simply hopes that when discussing professional knowledge, the person can understand, participate in the conversation, and offer opinions and suggestions.

Once you've set this goal, you can start learning.

Over the next few days, Chen Jingle immersed himself in a new ocean of knowledge, while Li Beixing was already used to it. He learned whatever interested him, and his thinking was very imaginative.

With the semester coming to an end for all primary and secondary schools, and exam week fast approaching, Teacher Li is busy reviewing lessons for her students and catching up on missed classes, making her even busier.

Apart from that, there were few changes overall, and life was peaceful and cozy.

However, on the 5th, Chen Jingle's short video account suddenly became popular again.

Many people flocked to his comment section saying, "Host, you're amazing! Even a famous director praised your handwriting, saying it has the style of a master!"

As a result, I received quite a few more private messages asking about the price.

Chen Jingle looked completely bewildered. What was going on?!

It took me a while to scroll through the comments section before I finally realized what was going on.
