Chapter 1084 - If He Could Go on Stage and Give a Speech

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With Ye Xicheng as his opponent, Professor Zhou could play in a more relaxed manner.

“Xin Cheng Energy,” Professor Zhou stated.

Gu Juexi lowered his gaze to his son’s movement of the knight. His knight captured the opponent’s pawn and yet at the same time Xicheng seemed to realize his mistake and was vexed by his move.

“One wrong move can cause the game. Our opponent may take advantage of our mistake and emerge victorious.” Gu Juexi patted his son’s back and looked at Professor Zhou.

Xicheng’s wrong move allowed Professor Zhou to take away Gu Juexi’s general.

It was that easy. When the enemy was having a moment of weakness, one could swoop in and claim victory.

But Professor Zhou knew this was far from the truth and Gu Juexi was not willing to reveal anything.

Gu Juexi was not talking about his plans. He was merely stating the fluke. He was explaining how a wrong move could change the results, and made it seem as though Gu Juexi himself had made a wrong move.

This man was more frightening than the rumors.

Ye Xicheng lost the game of chess. He pursed his lips and looked up at Gu Juexi.

“You’re still young. You’ll win when you learn about the schemes of adults.” Gu Juexi seemed to forget his son’s tender age.

“Is this the way you bring up your children?” Professor Zhou asked in disbelief.

“Professor Zhou thinks I’m wrong? Isn’t this game of chess similar to life? As long as life isn’t wasted away, isn’t it well-planned for? I don’t think there is a need to hide this from them.” Gu Juexi looked at Ye Xicheng who was rearranging the chess pieces on the chess board with interest.

“Therefore CEO Gu’s every outcome resulted from a well thought out plan?” Professor Zhou was dissatisfied with Gu Juexi’s scheming nature, yet he acknowledged his abilities.

Was every move well thought out?

No, he was completely beaten when it involved Ye Yuwei.

Gu Juexi dropped his gaze. His detailed plans had ignored one important confounding factor: Ye Yuwei.

“Not exactly. I’ve lost too, completely crushed and beaten.” Gu Juexi was completely honest. Everything could be planned and manipulated, except a human’s heart.

“Is little Yezi the person who caused you to fall?”

“Professor Zhou, please don’t expose me.” The corner of Gu Juexi’s lips curved into a smile, indirectly admitting it.

Professor Zhou burst out into laughter. “Alright, looks like little Yezi chose the right man.”

“Grandpa Zhou, can you play another game of chess with me?” Ye Xicheng carried the chessboard over.

“Sure, Grandpa Zhou will play one more round with you,” Professor Zhou answered light-heartedly.

In the kitchen, Ye Yuwei and Madam Zhou heard the sounds of laughter from the study. “Your teacher has not been this happy in a long time,” Madam Zhou said affectionately while stir-frying the vegetables.

“I was afraid Gu Juexi would send him into a rage. He is not good with words.” Ye Yuwei felt a dull ache in her heart when she thought about all the times Gu Juexi pissed her off with his words.

“Are you aware of the university’s anniversary? I heard your professor say that Gu Juexi rejected giving a speech at R university?” Madam Zhou murmured.

“He’s not a student from our school. If he were to give a speech, what would our elite seniors say?” Ye Yuwei smiled. “It can be considered a good thing that he rejected it.”

“It was your alma mater after all. You’ve received countless awards on that stage, so it would be quite romantic if he could go on stage and give a speech,” Madam Zhou chuckled.

As he was walking towards the kitchen, Gu Juexi stopped in his tracks when he heard the conversation between Madam Zhou and Ye Yuwei.
