Chapter 527 Meeting Zhou Gu 2
"A relative’s kid isn’t doing well in school, so I’m going to help tutor them."
"Where does your relative live? Next time we have a break, I’ll come find you at your relative’s place, and we can play some basketball together." Zhuo Feng didn’t have many hobbies other than studying—basketball was his other love. Playing basketball alone wasn’t fun, and since Jianbin liked it too, they would often play together. Unfortunately, Jianbin always seemed to disappear during the holidays.
"My relative’s kid didn’t get into high school, so no more tutoring needed. You can just come to my place next time." In fact, Gu Jianbin had never tutored his relative’s child.
It was just an excuse he had made up.
Living in the city was expensive, and his family wasn’t doing business anymore, so he’d return to his village during the breaks, only coming back to the city when school started again.
Zhuo Feng was a city dweller with a comfortable home life. The two of them had been sharing a dormitory since high school, but Zhuo Feng didn’t know that Gu Jianbin came from the countryside.
And Jianbin had no intention of telling Zhuo Feng about it.
None of his classmates knew he was from a rural area. They saw he had a house in the city and always had enough pocket money, so they assumed his family were city businesspeople. He never let his family visit him at school.
One could say, Gu Jianbin had created a very good facade for himself, wrapping himself up perfectly.
"You tutored him and he still didn’t get into high school? Seems like your relative’s kid really isn’t cut out for studying! But then again, aptitude is very important in learning. If it’s not in his nature, there’s nothing to be done. It might be better that he doesn’t go to school. Starting to learn a trade early can lead to a comfortable life too. Studying isn’t the only way out." Zhuo Feng consoled Jianbin.
Jianbin saw that there were no suspicions and no further questions, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He casually fabricated another lie, "My relative runs a food processing plant, and they plan to have him work there. If he applies himself, he won’t do too badly in the future."
