"I owe a lot to your father. He gave me, a person from a poor family, a job, and he nurtured me into the man I am today. When my wife got sick, he paid for all the hospital bills." President Zhao paused for a few seconds. "Your father did not show his affections easily, but he worried about you constantly, and he wanted to go with you to the States for treatment. But the company needed him here, and he wanted to make the company strong to give to you," he put his hands on Shen Wei's shoulders. "Please don't be angry with your father anymore. He loved you very, very much, never doubt that."
Shen Wei felt a twinge in his heart, and suddenly the deep-rooted sadness and anger he had held with him all these years were gone, and love for his father filled his heart.
"Thank you, President Zhao," he said through tears.
Integration - Day 3
Zhu Jiu could not stop laughing as he looked at Shen Wei. He had stolen a girl's uniform from the school they went to and forced Shen Wei to wear it. But it was not enough. He snuck out one of his mother's old wigs and some makeup, and sometime later, Shen Wei looked like a badly made-up clown in a school uniform.
"Can I take this off now? It's time to go to school," Shen Wei whined.
"No way! I worked hard to do this," Zhu Jiu said as he gasped for air. "Besides, we need to leave NOW if we don't want to be late. You'll just have to bear with it today," he commanded as he yanked Shen Wei out to the waiting car. The driver looked surprised at Shen Wei's look but said nothing. No one who served Zhu Jiu's family dared to criticize or comment about anything.
His cousin's laughter was nothing compared to the howls of laughter from his classmates as Zhu Jiu dragged Shen Wei into the classroom.
"Who is that?!"
"WHAT is that?!"
"Shen Wei? Your new look is great!"
"Ooh, so pretty!"
"Let's go out on a date after school!"
The teacher tried to silence the catcalls and smooching sounds, but even she could not stop the giggle that came out of her mouth or hide the smile on her face. Even the teacher thought he was a joke. No one was going to help him.
"Hmph, Zhu Jiu did a terrible job. And you think this is 'pretty'? Where are your eyes?"
This feminine sounding voice shocked everyone, and the room went silent.
"Teacher, I'm so disappointed in you, too. Then again, looking at YOUR makeup and sense of fashion, yes, I can see that you also are lacking in taste," the poorly made-up boy walked up the teacher and gave her the once over. "It's no use asking YOU for help; you wouldn't be able to make me look any better."
The student flipped the fake hair, took out a cell phone and tapped on a number.
"Jia Qiu? Send a car to DragonCityPrimary School. And tell my father that I no longer wish to attend this place. My teacher has no class and no taste."
"No, Shen Wei! The principal will kill me if you quit!" the teacher pleaded. If they found out that she was the reason why the son of the CEO of the powerful Shen Enterprises had quit, not only would she lose her job at this school, but other schools would shun her as well.
The student looked at the teacher, who now had tears in her eyes, then gave an eye roll and sighed.
"Jia Qiu, cancel the car. I'll stay here a little longer."
