The Girl Who Restarted Time

On the way to the hotel, Jin Xiangdong, who used to be restrained, had a touch of an unnoticeable smile. Lu Jia’er’s reply of ‘it’s you’ was like a small stone thrown into a calm lake causing ripples on its surface.

This expression was just caught by the old man seated in the rear seat. He said, “I was hit by Professor Lu but you seem quite happy!”

Jin Xiangdong instantly became poker faced. “Dad, I am a dutiful son, aren’t I?”

“Look how happy you were!” Jin Shengping said.

Jin Xiangdong had to explain. “I’ve just thought how fortune works in its wonderful and mysterious ways! Yesterday I went to B University to see her. Today she hit your car as you had returned to China, once in a blue moon!”

“Your sentiment suggests expectancy in this opportunity!” Jin Shengping fixed his eyes on his son’s handsome profile.

“I do look forward to this opportunity!” Jin Xiangdong agreed. Lu Jia’er had promised to join his research and development team so their relationship would definitely progress further.

Jin Shengping heard the words and became amazed with shining eyes. “Are you serious?”

“I have always been serious about doing things!” Jin Xiangdong laughed and then continued, “Lu Jia’er just promised to join my research and development team!”

That accounted for it. But Jin Shengping couldn’t maintain calm in his mind because of his son’s pause and utterance duration, thinking that he had become enamored with her!

“How is your new AI product development going?” asked Jin Shengping casually.

“After you have a good rest, you may go and check yourself!” Jin Xiangdong said in a cold and confident tone.

“Good!” Jin Shengping agreed.

Jin Xiangdong then said to the man next to Jin Shengping, “Xiao Dong, please cancel the next schedule!”

Although Jin Shengping was sorry for canceling the scheduled event, he could avoid many unnecessary activities. He had returned to China this time in order to participate in the 80th birthday celebration of an old friend of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but some people heard the news and invited him to many activities including a speech at B University and an expert forum.

“Reserve schedule of the speech at B University and meeting with Academician Yuan Xin!” Requested Jin Shengping.

Despite his poor physical condition, he did not want to disappoint students awaiting his speech. He enjoyed communicating with the young promising minds who wanted to expand their knowledge.

“Okay!” said the secretary next to him.

“Dad, how about canceling the speech?” Jin Xiangdong turned around and glanced at Jin Shengping, looking worried.

“Minor injury! No big deal!” Jin Shengping did not care.

Since Jin Shengping had already decided, Jin Xiangdong could only let it go. “Dad, on which day will you meet Academician Yuan Xin?” he asked.

“You want to go with me?” Jin Shengping knew what was on his son’s mind.

“I want to accompany you if possible. I have a few questions for Academician Yuan Xin!” said Jin Xingdong.

Jin Shengping heard the words and said, “Do you still need me to introduce you to Academician Yuan for a meeting?”

“No. But since you happen to be back, I believe that listening to the dialogue between Academician Yuan and you will definitely be fruitful!” said Jin Shengdong.

“You want to learn in secrecy again!” said Jin Shengping.

“You often say that where there are three men walking together, one of them must be qualified to be my teacher, don’t you?” Jin Xiangdong smiled.

Jin Shengping’s smiled and said, “Your Analects were taught by me!”

“Well taught!” replied Jin Xiangdong.
