In front of the office building of Qingcheng High School.
A black SUV quietly parked in front of a row of Purple Cloud Pines.
The car window was half-lowered, and the man's strong arm rested outside, covered in a faint honey color under the sunlight.
Just a glimpse of the arm was enough to set one's imagination running wild.
Passing female students blushed shyly, unable to resist glancing repeatedly, quietly asking if he was a new lecturer at the school or some student's big brother.
Bao Gucheng impatiently tapped the steering wheel: "Tell that idiot to hurry up."
"Yes!" Chen Long followed the order and called Bai Fei.
Just passing by Qingcheng High School, Bai Fei insisted on getting off, saying he was asked by an elder from the Imperial Capital to deliver something important to a distant nephew.
Chen Long was already a bit unhappy. The master's wound had just reopened while chasing a female bandit, and this guy was still thinking about delivering something unimportant to a relative?
If that's the case, fine, but he then chatted away in the principal's office and hasn't come down for so long.
Making our Mr. Bo the center of attention for women.
As Chen Long urged Bai Fei on the phone, Bao Gucheng received a call.
"Hello, Mr. Gu."
Mr. Gu Bei of the Gu Family in the Imperial Capital was a titan in the academic field, an old friend of Bao Gucheng, and had taught him in university, considered his mentor.
Bao Gucheng was quite respectful to him.
On the other end, Mr. Gu Bei's voice was cheerful, with a hint of laughter: "Gucheng, I know you're busy with official duties, and I don't want to disturb you, but there's an urgent matter now, no one else can handle it, only you can..."
"You're too kind, sir. Go ahead."
"I heard from Bai Fei that you're in Qingcheng?"
"Yes," Bao Gucheng nodded.
Chen Long, having just finished his call, overheard this and couldn't help but silently curse Bai Fei again—how could Mr. Bai boast about keeping things confidential?
Confidential my foot!
Mr. Gu Bei: "That's great. My granddaughter is also in Qingcheng. Her mother just brought her back from the countryside, and she's about to take the college entrance exam. But I heard her studies are really poor, her mother isn't attentive either, and I'm too far to help. So I hoped to find a reliable young person to tutor her. I don't trust that playboy Bai Fei, but you, Gucheng, I absolutely trust. So..."
Bao Gucheng patiently listened to the elder's request and courteously interrupted: "Sir, men and women should keep a proper distance. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to tutor."
Mr. Gu Bei: "Oh, she's just a child, and you're in the generation of her uncle, what's there to fear?"
Bao Gucheng pressed his lips together, maintaining a courteous tone but with firm resolve: "Inappropriate. If you need, I can find a tutor for her."
Mr. Gu Bei sighed and finally confessed: "Gucheng, it's not just about tutoring, I'm a bit worried. The child has come from the countryside to the city and isn't accustomed to the lives of these elite families and might be marginalized. I want to find someone knowledgeable to teach her how to conduct herself, interact with others, and learn noble etiquette. My daughter and son-in-law aren't reliable, I don't want the child to be delayed. I'd be at ease if you could be her mentor."
Nearby, Chen Long's lips twitched as he listened.
Sir, you really don't understand Mr. Bo.
The master is not the kind of man who likes to teach or care for juniors.
He's quite indifferent to family ties.
Not just family, but also to women, if he's not interested.
In the master's world, aside from the brotherhood of special forces comrades, there aren't many bonds left. And you expect him to be a young girl's mentor?
That's absolutely impossible.
Sure enough, Bao Gucheng flatly rejected: "Sorry, sir."

In the classroom.
Zuzi looked at Gu Jingyan calmly: "Sorry, I'm indeed qualified to sit here."
Gu Jingyan frowned: "What qualifications do you have?"
Zuzi toyed with a land deed in her hand, looking innocent: "Maybe, because my family is rich?"
That was earlier when Mrs. Xi donated a plot of land and a building to Qingcheng High School to get Zuzi admitted!
Not much, just ten million or so.
Everyone: "…!"
