I'm back in 1990

Chapter 935: Disciples and Grand-Disciples

The three of them quickly walked to the front and greeted Huang Xiaochuan respectfully.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Hello!" Huang Xiaochuan replied with a smile.

Kong Hao introduced them one by one: "These three are my students. I brought them out to broaden their horizons. This is Du Ya, this is Ge Qian, and this is Zhou An'an."

"Master, may I take a picture with you?" Suppressing his excitement, the outgoing Du Ya made a request.

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and agreed, "No problem, but let's go inside and talk, aren't you guys hot?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Hao slapped his forehead in frustration: "Look at me."

He then quickly accompanied Huang Xiaochuan into the restaurant.

Once inside the private room, Huang Xiaochuan patted the chair next to him: "Kong Hao, sit next to me, let's have a good talk."

"Yes!" Kong Hao readily agreed.

Then Huang Xiaochuan smiled and said to Du Ya, Ge Qian, and Zhou An'an, "You three, please make yourselves at home. I won't arrange any seats for you. Please sit wherever you like."

The three quickly nodded in agreement and sat down one by one next to Kong Hao.

"By the way, weren't we supposed to take pictures? Let's take some before the food arrives." Huang Xiaochuan waved to Du Ya.

This made Du Ya extremely happy, while Ge Qian and Zhou An'an looked at Du Ya with envy.

After taking photos with Du Ya, Huang Xiaochuan invited, "You two, come along too!"

"Wow!" Ge Qian stood up excitedly and ran to Huang Xiaochuan's side.

Zhou An'an's face was contorted with laughter, and she quickly got up and went to Huang Xiaochuan's side.

After the photos of the group were taken, they sat down again.

Huang Xiaochuan instructed Gao Song, "Is the food ready? Go check."

After Gao Song put the camera away, he left the private room.

A short while later, Tang Jianhua came in with Gao Song.

Huang Xiaochuan introduced him to Kong Hao and his students: "This is the owner of this restaurant, and also my brother-in-law, Tang Jianhua."

Kong Hao and his three students quickly stood up again: "Hello, Mr. Tang!"

Du Ya and the other two greeted Tang Jianhua in turn.

"Don't be so polite, please have a seat!" Tang Jianhua became exceptionally warm and welcoming after learning that these people were his brother-in-law's apprentices and their descendants.

After the pleasantries were over, Tang Jianhua said, "I originally came to ask if there were any dietary restrictions, but it seems there shouldn't be any."

Kong Hao and the others quickly waved their hands, "No, no!"

"That's fine then, I'll make the arrangements!" Tang Jianhua patted his chest, assuring everyone that they would have a satisfying meal tonight. After saying that, he went out again.

That night, Du Ya, Ge Qian, and Zhou An'an had their eyes opened. They had the most luxurious meal of their lives with their teacher. Although there weren't many dishes, each one was made with the finest ingredients. The key point was that this meal was paid for by their grandmaster, Huang Xiaochuan.

"Teacher, I toast you!" Kong Hao stood up respectfully, holding his glass, and offered Huang Xiaochuan a toast.

Huang Xiaochuan raised his hand and pressed it down: "Don't be so formal with me. Sit down and let's drink slowly. Cola Novels, your portable library, has more than ten thousand volumes. Eat more food."

He then picked up his cup and took a sip.

During their casual conversation, Huang Xiaochuan asked with concern, "Why are you still so thin? Is it because your diet is irregular?"

Kong Hao replied, "No, I can eat and drink well, but I just don't gain weight."

Huang Xiaochuan nodded in relief: "If you can eat, then it's fine."

He looked up and noticed that the three students Kong Hao had brought were a little reserved, so he smiled and greeted them, "You three, eat up! Don't be shy. Now that you're here, it's like you're returning to your parents' home. Eat as much as you want, and if you're not full, you can have more."

The three of them laughed, realizing that their master was a really nice person.

They ate and chatted for nearly two hours. After the meal, Kong Hao and his three students respectfully saw Huang Xiaochuan off to his car and politely declined Huang Xiaochuan's offer to take him home.

After the three Escalades drove away, the four of them headed back in the direction they had come from. They originally intended to take a taxi, but it was rush hour and they couldn't get one for a while, so Kong Hao simply led the three students on foot towards the hotel.

Du Ya had been holding back for a while, so he took this opportunity to start chatting with his teacher.

"Teacher, you really surprised us today! Your school is so prestigious! Why didn't you tell us beforehand?"

Ge Qian and Zhou An'an nodded in agreement with Du Ya's question. They seemed to understand now why their teacher could be promoted to associate professor in his early thirties. Ability was one thing, but connections were also very important. Just because their teacher's teacher was Huang Xiaochuan, there was nothing more to say. It was normal for him to be promoted; it would be abnormal if he didn't.

Kong Hao, who had drunk a little, was in a good mood tonight and said a few words, but only a few: "What's there to say? Besides, it's complicated and can't be explained in just one or two things."

These words immediately piqued the curiosity of his three students.

"Teacher, what happened? Please tell us!"

Unfortunately, it was no use; Kong Hao simply wouldn't tell.

Seeing this, the three stopped asking questions.

However, none of the three were stupid, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to pass the postgraduate entrance exam. They could guess the reason why their teacher brought them to the banquet tonight. They would be graduating next year, and their teacher was paving the way for them in advance. Now that they had such a mentor's background, they could go anywhere in the world.

Just kidding, as long as they reveal their sect, they won't have to worry about finding a job.

Just then, their mentor Kong Hao spoke up again: "When you graduate next year, I will ask your mentor to write a letter of recommendation for each of you. It will be my way of giving you an explanation. However, the prerequisite is that your thesis must pass the defense."

Kong Hao did this for two reasons. First, these were his first batch of graduate students. Second, these three were his prized students, and he had to support them no matter what. He felt that he might not be famous enough, so to be on the safe side, he thought of having his teacher support his three grand-disciples. That's why he brought his three students with him tonight, just to make them familiar to his teacher first.

I know my teacher's character best. He is extremely protective of his students and extends that love to them as well. Back then, he always protected us, including his own unworthy students, which has given us a lot of support in both academia and the workplace.

The greatest luck of my life was being a student of a teacher; it is both a lifelong honor and the greatest blessing of my life.

Thinking of this, a mist welled up in Kong Hao's eyes.

Cola Novels always has a story waiting for you to open.
