Chapter 1724 The Most Outstanding Student
"What happened? Can you tell me?" Xia Zhe asked softly.
Xia Zhe was not an outsider. In fact, if Gao Tao was still alive, Xia Zhe would have to address her as Grandmother. Qiao Mei told Xia Zhe everything that had happened between "Wen Ran" and Qiao Qiang, as well as the story she heard at the Liang family house.
"Perhaps we can go and look for a teacher who used to work in the Capital Men's College. Grandpa Zhou used to teach there," Xia Zhe said after hearing that.
"Grandpa Zhou used to be a teacher?" Qiao Mei asked Xia Zhe in surprise. She had no idea about this at all. After knowing Zhou Sheng for so long, she actually did not even know anything about Zhou Sheng's past.
"Yes, let's go back and ask Grandpa Zhou. Perhaps he will know something about this. If Grandpa Zhou doesn't know, then we can ask Eldest Brother to ask around. Eldest Brother used to be a teacher at Capital University and must know many seniors in the teaching profession. There will definitely be people who know your grandmother," Xia Zhe said.
The two of them drove to Zhou Sheng's house. Coincidentally, they saw Zhou Sheng walking out with a birdcage. Xia Zhe quickly got out of the car and blocked Zhou Sheng's way.
Zhou Hua always left school before class ended. As the Capital Men's College had received some financial support from the Zhou family, the principal turned a blind eye to Zhou Hua ending class early and also told Zhou Sheng to let it be and not take it too seriously.
Zhou Hua would skip class every afternoon. In the beginning, Zhou Sheng had gone to Zhou Hua's house with the intention of speaking to his parents about this matter. He did not expect to find a girl at home when he went.
After chatting with Gao Tao for a while, he realized that she was a very talented youngster. If she was nurtured well, she would definitely have outstanding results in the future. From then on, whenever he had time, he would take the time to teach her different things.
There were fewer subjects taught in the women's college. Although the women's college termed itself as a school, in reality, it only served to nurture the temperament and mindset of these rich young ladies and to teach them more artistic subjects to make them more cultured.
Gao Tao was different from these girls. She really wanted to learn more useful knowledge so that she would be able to contribute to the country. Perhaps Gao Tao was ostracized by everyone in school because her way of thinking was incompatible with the other girls.
However, Gao Tao did not give up. Every weekend, she would go to Zhou Sheng's house to clarify everything she did not understand and she also read many books about machinery. Gao Tao could remember whatever Zhou Sheng taught her after hearing it once. This was a quality that many people did not have.
"Gao Tao is my most outstanding student. Unfortunately... that fire caused me to lose such a good student," Zhou Sheng said regretfully.
"Then Grandpa Zhou, do you know where Zhou Hua went?" Qiao Mei asked.
"Yes I do. Later on, he went overseas and had even written me a few letters. I'll give you his address." After saying that, Zhou Sheng returned to his room to look for the letters from back then. After a long time, he finally found a letter from Zhou Hua.noVelb1n
