Chapter Nineteen: Hester Prynne

  "Huh? Why?" Suddenly hearing He Sa's words, Feng Si Zhe was stunned, obviously he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

  "You're really special, you weren't the first boy my grandfather introduced me to, but you are the first one he brought to the backyard." Hesha seemed unsure of how to explain it either, and after thinking for a moment, she decided to just tell the truth.

  "Ah!" Hearing He Sa say that, Feng Si Zhe also became interested for a while. Originally he thought this was Mr. He's intention to give young people the opportunity to get to know each other, but unexpectedly so far only he had received this treatment, haha, it seems that Mr. He still has a pretty good impression of himself.

  Feng Sichu couldn't help but feel a little excited, and whoever could get the appreciation of He Lao would also have an unspoken excitement. "Are you really a double master's degree holder from England? Is a foreign country better than ours? Have you been to Vienna? What is it like there?"

  Feng Siche was indulging in He Lao's admiration when a little girl named He Sa asked him several questions. Listening to these questions, Feng Siche suddenly remembered that this little girl was actually a talented student from the composition department of the National Music Academy, and could be considered one of the young geniuses of today.

  "Hehe, I've never been to Vienna, but I've heard it's beautiful and a great place for many musicians to find inspiration. If you ask me which is better, foreign countries or our own, I'd still say it's our own country. Although due to historical reasons, our country lags behind in many areas of development compared to others, we are an ancient nation with a 5,000-year history, and our country has the deepest connotations and the most profound cultural heritage, which is something those developed countries can't match."

  Feng Siche thought for a moment, and then spoke out some of his inner thoughts. In his previous life, Feng Siche had also been to many countries, from the wealthy United States, Britain, Japan and others to the poorest such as Ethiopia and some African countries, he had all gone, and more or less understood, finally coming to a conclusion that nowhere was better than his own country. Of course, summarizing decades of things and suddenly bringing them out to tell He Sasa, still made her somewhat unable to understand for a while.

  Looking at He Sa's rolling eyes, Feng Si Zhe chuckled and said, "What? Do you think I'm wrong? Or do you young people all admire the materialistic lifestyle of foreign countries? Let me tell you, as long as our country is on the right path, it won't take long for us to catch up with them, or even surpass them." As he spoke, Feng Si Zhe couldn't help but wave his arm excitedly. This was the first time since his rebirth that he had shared his ambitions and ideals with someone else, so it was normal for him to be a bit excited.

  "You're absolutely right." Looking at Feng Si Zhe's slightly excited expression, He Sa Sha surprisingly didn't mock him, but instead nodded very seriously. "I actually think the same way, I believe that nowhere is better than our own country, our strong motherland is the best, but some classmates in school say that foreign countries are better, it seems like many of them who major in music composition think that if they don't go to Vienna once, they can't compose good songs. It's really hard to understand them, do they have to put down their own country and praise foreign countries just to feel comfortable?"

  He Sa said to the emotional place when her eyes also had a little excitement, this scene was very touching in Feng Si Zhe's eyes. At that moment, Feng Si Zhe felt that He Sa was so beautiful and had such a temperament. "Hmm, you're right, I fully support you. I believe that even if you don't go to those places, you can still create many popular songs, you'll be fine."

  He Xisha's face turned red as she listened to Feng Siche's praise, and she said in a low voice: "You're also very impressive, I can tell that you're an ambitious young man. Your article on economic development, reform and opening up, and the healthy development and regulation of the securities market is well-written. And your article on the importance of science and technology in modern local wars was read by my grandfather, who praised it with three good words." This He Xisha had just been praised by Feng Siche, but she turned around and praised Yu Tianyong instead.

  "What? How did your grandfather know that the article about modern local warfare was written by me?" As for the economic development article, it's okay to put my name on it, whether it's right or wrong. But that military article was actually signed with my uncle and cousin's names. However, thinking back, I got angry again and wrote a second article, which had my own name on it. Besides, Old He is so smart and understands my uncle so well, how could he not know? It's only natural that he would suspect me."

  "Hehe, it was my grandfather who said that. He said Zhao Fengzi has a few catties of knowledge and he still doesn't know about it, and as for Zhao Wanyong, he's just someone who has dipped his toes in the inkwell. With their skills, even if they had such ideas, they couldn't have written such an article. It must be that high-achieving student from the Zhao family who returned from studying abroad." Seemingly seeing Feng Sicheng's confusion, He Shasha chuckled and sold out her grandfather like this.

  "Oh, haha, hahaha." Upon hearing He Sa's words, Feng Si Zhe initially felt a bit embarrassed. His own grandfather, Zhao Zhong Jiang, had earned the nickname "Zhao Crazy" from his leaders for being reckless and charging forward fearlessly on the battlefield. However, now that he heard He Sa say this, he couldn't help but admire He Lao's meticulous thinking - indeed, things were just as he had imagined them to be.

  Maybe it's because the two people have been flattering each other, and for a while, their feelings have been rapidly drawn closer, no longer so strange to each other, and they've unconsciously become more compatible when talking.

  Feng Siche mainly talked about his experiences abroad, talking about the level of technological development there, and how open-minded the students were. In British schools, there was no such thing as rote learning like in our country, but rather students learned based on their interests. What's most important is that when it comes to finding a job after graduation, companies don't care about your exam scores during school, but rather your social experience and communication skills. It can be said that this is completely different from the Republic's approach of emphasizing rote learning.

  Feng Siche was speaking, He Sa always listened very seriously, from time to time she would interject a sentence or two, asking questions about things she didn't understand. Fortunately, Feng Siche's knowledge was vast and he could answer all of He Sa's questions one by one, so as not to lose face.
