Ren Yi couldn't help but marvel inwardly: It's true that like begets like; a highly intelligent big shot like Qin Si Ye would surely have exceptionally gifted offspring.
"He's only learned some superficial techniques, nothing systematic. I'll have to ask Teacher Ren for more guidance in the future," Qin Si Ye said in a gentle tone.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Qin. I will do my utmost to teach him. Children like Zichen, who are highly intelligent and interested in programming, are very rare," Ren Yi replied with a smile.
At that moment, Yan Yan suddenly tugged on Yin Xi's hand and said, "Mommy, I want to learn programming with Brother Chen too!"
"Ah? Are you sure?" Yin Xi looked at her in surprise.
She had always thought that Yan Yan, being a girl, would be interested in things like art, dance, or piano. She never expected her to choose programming.
"Yan Yan, you should think carefully. Learning programming is a very brain-intensive endeavor," Xie Yifei, sharing Yin Xi's thoughts, couldn't help but remind her.
"Auntie Yifei, are you implying I'm not smart?" Yan Yan tilted her small head, her cheeks puffed out as she looked at Xie Yifei.
"Brother Chen, Brother Shuo, and I were all born to Mommy. He learns programming, and he learns the Rubik's Cube – both require using their brains. Why shouldn't I? My intelligence is no less than theirs."
Hearing this, Xie Yifei felt a bit embarrassed and quickly explained, "Yan Yan, Auntie Yifei didn't mean it that way. I was just afraid it might be too tiring for a girl to learn this."
"It's okay. I can endure hardship, Auntie Yifei. You don't need to worry. Mommy once told us a story about how one must endure hardship to achieve greatness," Yan Yan said earnestly to the adults.
"Hahaha." Everyone in the hall was amused by her words.
"Teacher Ren, would it be possible to take on another student?" Yin Xi asked in a gentle tone.
"Of course, there's no problem on my end," Ren Yi replied readily.
He never expected that Qin Si Ye's family would have three children, and all triplets at that. Each one was remarkable.
"Okay." Yin Xi was very pleased and then asked, "Teacher Ren, since I have two children learning programming with you, would it be convenient for you to teach at our home? We can prepare the computers and the room for you."
Ren Yi smiled and replied, "Certainly. But I wonder if Mr. Qin would mind?" He had discussed with Qin Si Ye earlier about sending their child to an institution for learning.
Qin Si Ye looked up at Yin Xi, his eyebrows slightly raised. "This matter is decided by the children's mother."
With a soft sigh, Yin Xi smiled gratefully at him. This idea had only just occurred to her, and she hadn't discussed it with him beforehand. She had expected him to disagree and was preparing to persuade him, but instead, he had given her complete decision-making power.
After the matter was settled, Yin Xi personally escorted Xie Yifei and Ren Yi out of the hall.
Xie Yifei held her hand and said, "Qin Si Ye behaved very well today. His attitude was humble, and he was very respectful of your ideas. You couldn't tell at all that you two were having a spat. Have you made up already?"
Yin Xi lowered her voice and said, "It's not that fast. He might just be saving face for me in front of others."
"I don't think it's just that. That sentence, 'decided by the children's mother,' sounded so heartwarming and touching, filled with doting and deep affection. Didn't you hear it?" Xie Yifei looked at her intently with a smile.
"Hear what? Don't you go making wild guesses. Let's go, look, Teacher Ren has been waiting for you in the car for a long time." Yin Xi let go and urged her to get into the car quickly.
In the evening, after settling the children, Yin Xi returned to the third floor. Seeing the study light on, she felt it was necessary to explain the recent events to Qin Si Ye.
As she knocked and walked in, Qin Si Ye received a phone call. She heard him say angrily into the receiver, "Does such a matter require my approval? Since he has broken the law, handle it according to the law. Su Chengyu has been with him abroad for so long; he must have been involved in those matters too. Investigate him as well. People like them, who do all sorts of evil, still want to return to Su Corporation and seize the CEO position? What a pipe dream."
The person on the other end of the line said something, and Qin Si Ye replied, "Yes. After the investigation, send me all the materials. As for when to report them, await my orders."
