Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 343 Teacher Gao always provides assistance
Zeng Mi turned her head away; the cigarette in her hand had burned down to the end.

Somewhat annoyed, she threw the cigarette butt at her feet and crushed it repeatedly with her toe.

Zeng Wenjie watched this scene silently. Not everyone has the chance to do it all over again and make up for the regrets in their lives.

After a moment, Zeng Mi calmed down, turned around, and said, "If only life could start over."

Zeng Wenjie calmly replied, "Perhaps it's not too late to start making changes now."

Zeng Mi did not speak.

"Xiao Zeng, didn't you go home?"

Zeng Wenjie knew without turning his head that the sneaky guy was coming.

Then, he instantly switched from a superior demeanor to a sycophantic mode, stubbed out his cigarette, and fawned over him, saying, "Hello, Professor Gao!"

Principal Gao said, "I heard you got beaten up by Xiao Mu's grandfather? Sigh, that's none of my business. Who told you to try and abduct someone's granddaughter?"

Zeng Wenjie was both amused and exasperated. Damn it, Lao Gao actually found out about this!

As they were talking, Principal Gao noticed Zeng Mi leaning against the car, frowned, and said, "You little rascal, you're not being honest?"

Zeng Mi took the initiative to come forward and said with a smile, "Teacher Gao, I'm Zeng Mi. Do you remember me?"

Zeng Wenjie looked at Zeng Mi in surprise. Old Gao was from Fengyuan Academy and had taught Zhuang Aimin before. How could he become Zeng Mi's teacher?

“Zeng Mi? Hmm… It’s been many years since we last met!” Principal Gao was stunned, then smiled and pointed at Zeng Mi.

Zeng Mi nodded and said, "I came to Fengyuan today and happened to run into Xiao Zeng, so I chatted with him here."

The principal looked at her, and after a moment, sighed.

Clearly, this sigh was for her not taking the college entrance examination.

Otherwise, Zeng Mi would probably be an outstanding woman like Ye Yixuan.

"How is Gao Miao?" Zeng Mi asked with a smile.

"She went abroad a long time ago," Principal Gao said.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Mi felt a little regretful, and then explained to the puzzled Zeng Wenjie, "I was classmates with Teacher Gao's daughter in the first year of high school, and we often made bulletin boards together. We had a very good relationship."

Zeng Wenjie was no longer confused; he understood.

"How have you been these past few years?" Principal Gao asked, unscrewing his teacup.

“You can tell by looking at the car I’m driving!” Zeng Mi replied playfully.

Principal Gao said earnestly, "What appears glamorous may not be truly glamorous. No matter how good your car is, it's just a means of transportation. I don't believe Bill Gates doesn't have any worries."

"I do have a problem, I'm struggling with which loli to play with..."

Zeng Wenjie thought to himself.

Zeng Mi's smile froze slightly after the principal's words, and she didn't know how to respond.

"Are you still painting? I remember you used to aspire to be a painter, just like Gao Miao," Principal Gao said.

“I draw for fun whenever I have free time, so I’ve never lost this skill. Why don’t you just hire me to make bulletin boards for Fengyuan College, Teacher Gao?” Zeng Mi joked.

Principal Gao pointed at Zeng Wenjie and said, "We happen to need an artist for this kid. Why don't you apply for the job?"

Zeng Mi looked at Zeng Wenjie in surprise.

"Is it a game project with Tencent?" After a moment's consideration, she asked softly. "Yes, I need some talented illustrators to draw some realistic anime-style historical figure illustrations for me," Zeng Wenjie nodded and said.

Zeng Mi smiled and said, "I can try submitting your work. If you think it's suitable, you can accept it."

Principal Gao said, "Zeng Mi is quite talented in painting, so we can give it a try."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Okay, I'll add you on QQ later and talk to you about the details of the drawing. Send it to me when you're done. If there are no problems, we can work together!"

Principal Gao immediately clicked his tongue at Zeng Wenjie and said, "See? We've recruited a talent for you! Back then, Zeng Mi and my daughter were in charge of the school's pictorials and bulletin boards. The key is, my daughter has been learning since she was little; she's self-taught!"

"Sister Zeng Mi looks intelligent and kind, with the temperament of a classical Eastern beauty. She might really be able to paint those historical figures vividly and realistically."

"I'm sure Sister Gao Miao must be a beautiful and intelligent woman. It's just a pity that she lives abroad and I haven't been able to meet her! Otherwise, we would have been like old friends! If Sister Gao Miao doesn't mind, Wenjie is willing to become her sworn sister!"

Zeng Wenjie took over the conversation and immediately started filming.

Zeng Mi listened with a look of bewilderment, but the high school principal, who was used to being photographed, had developed a strong immunity and listened without changing his expression.

“Xiao Zeng is such a good boy who knows how to talk, I love listening to him!” Principal Gao said to Zeng Mi.

"..." Zeng Mi was speechless for a moment, anyway, she didn't really like listening to Zeng Wenjie talk.

This kid not only has sharp eyes, but he's also incredibly blunt. What he just said to her completely broke her down, and she burst into tears.

Zeng Wenjie turned and winked at Zeng Mi, only to receive a roll of his eyes in return.

If the old principal wasn't around, Zeng Wenjie suggested she stick her tongue out.

Principal Gao said, "Zeng Mi, if you have nothing to do, you can come to Fengyuan to chat with me more often. If you haven't lost your love for painting over the years and have a professional foundation, it's not impossible for me to specially invite you to teach a few classes."

Perhaps because he vaguely knew some of Zeng Mi's past, the principal spoke with exceptional kindness and gentleness, displaying the demeanor of an elder.

Zeng Mi bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Teacher Gao, but I'm afraid I'll mislead your students."

Principal Gao smiled and said, "Alright, Zeng, you chat with her. I'll head back now. Trying to recruit talent for you all day long isn't an easy task!"

He nodded to Zeng Mi again and said, "Draw two drafts and show them to Zeng Mi. If they can be adopted into Tencent's games, that would be a great achievement in life."

Zeng Mi shook hands with Principal Gao and said with a smile, "Thank you, Professor Gao, for helping me find a job. I will definitely try my best."

Principal Gao gently patted the back of her hand, then, with her hand behind her back, her fingers hooked around the water glass, she walked away swaying back and forth.

Zeng Wenjie felt that the sly principal was always omnipresent.

"I almost forgot to congratulate you. You actually got the Penguin project and even kept it at Fengyuan. That's really impressive! It's Penguin!" Zeng Mi said.

Tencent is a giant corporation that has always been domineering. The fact that Zeng Wenjie was able to obtain such conditions has shocked the entire internet industry.

Zeng Wenjie smiled, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Zeng Mi.

"It's too strong, I can't smoke it." Zeng Mi shook her head and refused, taking out her own women's cigarettes to light.

"Snapped!"

Zeng Wenjie lit his cigarette and smiled at her.

Out of respect for the principal, neither of them smoked in front of him.

Zeng Mi, in particular, had just kicked her cigarette butt under the car, as if afraid of being discovered.
