Wu Yan felt Wu Linyun's deep gaze. He understood that his father saw his appearance from afar. Wu LinYun's gaze seemed to have the desire to peel himself deeper.
Wu Yan continued to feign ignorance towards the gaze from his father. Because he wanted his father to take the initiative to question him later.
Time continued to pass until the repair work on Wu Yan's room was finished at 07.00 in the evening.
With his father still taking care of the payments and affairs of the workers he hired, Wu Yan was busy browsing basic information about the families or powerful people of Hai City on his cell phone while waiting for the family dinner to be prepared.
Only the information he got from his cellphone, only a few company names which are usually highlighted in print and also on television. Moreover, information about people or families who had influence in Hai city was too vague. It is possible that this was intended so that the general public would not be too influenced by the political movements carried out by the big families in Hai City.
'Hmm... Information about the existing power structure in Hai City is a bit difficult. Maybe, father about this matter. If he's suspicious, he just said that I'm already starting to think about what the future holds for the family' Wu Yan said to himself while preparing what topic to discuss later.
---
The food was prepared and Wu LinYun's work was finished, the family started eating their meal. There was some talk in the dinner session and it was only done by Wu Yan's father and mother. This involves several things about the company, several collaborations, and planning to survey in selecting products to sell in building materials stores.
Wu Yan listened carefully to the discussion between his father and mother, imagining the future plans that must be carried out based on the assets the family has in order to have a good foundation for starting a new company, or making investments that are quite profitable for the family.
The husband and wife suddenly became silent in their conversation. It started with Li Na seeing her son's serious expression. Followed by Wu LinYun who was curious about what Wu Yan was thinking.
Wu Yan suddenly woke up from his deep thoughts because of a spontaneous question asked by his mother "What's wrong? What has been bothering you?Can you tell mom about that?"
Wu Yan immediately set his sights on his parents. Their eyes were full of curiosity and a little worry too, he sighed and answered "It's nothing. I'm just thinking about tomorrow. Which school will I choose? Who will be my friends? How will I go about school activities? How will my social circle when I start school?"
Wu Yan expressed his 'thoughts' to his parents, actually a topic he had prepared to avoid discussing what happened this afternoon.
Both his parents were shocked by Wu Yan's thoughts. Wu LinYun, who was still shocked, could only say "Wow... I didn't expect your thoughts to be that complicated."
"Yes, my child. Mother even thinks you are imagining things too far." Li Na immediately responded to her husband's words.
"I know, mother." Wu Yan answered his mother briefly. He then continued "I think, having a mindset like that will make it easier for me to plan what I will do in the future."
Wu Yan's opinion made Li Na and Wu Linyun speechless. They think again and question themselves. 'If we don't have a plan, are the things we do in accordance with what we will expected?'
Wu Linyun and Li Na looked at Wu Yan who was back to eating his food. Subconsciously, the two of them started to have different views towards Wu Yan.
'Wu Yan is right. A person must have such a mindset from an early age. Moreover, Wu Yan is about to grow up. So, it is so natural for him to study and imagine his own future.'
'Did we spoil him too much that we forgot that he will grow and develop his mind?'
Such thoughts momentarily flooded Wu Linyun and Li Na's brains. This makes the dining table have silence except for the sound of the tools that being used for eating.
Then, Wu Linyun had a sincere smile and said, "Your words made me wake up. Because we pampered you made us forget that you will grow up and start learning about right and wrong."
Li Na was also moved by her husband's words. The woman chimed in "Yes, Yan'er. We are enlightened by the development of your personality."
Hearing what the two of them said, Wu Yan smiled a little.
"I'm proud of you, kid." Li Na said proudly.
Wu Linyun chimed in, "Me too, kid." He again added with a cute smile "Well, at least this is the second time I think I'm proud of you."
*HAIZZ*
His father's behavior made Wu Yan scratch his head a little.
"Oh? twice? apparently, when you two were having a conversation on the phone this afternoon, Wu Yan gave you words like an adult person." Li Na, who was curious about the father and daughter's conversation, grew curiosity in Li Na's heart. "A little story, okay?"
*After telling the story*
"Haish... apart from talking about planning for the future, it turns out you are also learning to be a licking dog?" Li Na could only squeeze her forehead after digesting Wu Linyun's story.
Wu Linyun only had a wry smile to show on his face. He said to his wife "Wu Yan is also not to blame, darling. You also know how the social pyramid works. Sometimes, giving a good first impression and being a sycophant makes one indirectly have power. Although Wu Yan's direction of thinking, isn't there yet, maybe One day he will realize that."
"I know that." with her smile, Li Na reply what her husband said and also make the table silent again. but, this silent having a good atmosphere for three of them.
With a good spirit, Wu Linyun break the silent and said to Wu Yan. "Because of you displaying your change with your character in the positive way, Dad will send you to Haishen High School. What do you think?"
"What?! Haishen High School?! Hai City's favorite high school?" Li Na exclaimed hearing that. Because that woman really knows about that school. Wu Yan are also curious. Because he felt that the name of this school so familiar on his ear.
"Mmm, that's right. When I talked to Yan'er this afternoon, I had plans to visit 3 top schools in Hai City. Seeing his character now made me change my mind and decided to enroll my son to study at Haishen High School." Wu Linyun replying Li Na that having an joyful expression on her face.
'But, he didn't want to have any wild guesses because he wanted to visit the school to confirm it by himself.
If I recall memories from my previous life, there were several books I read that had the name Haishen High School as the setting. One is romance, and the rest are cliche male protagonist novels with nonsensical plug-ins.' Wu Yan thought deeply about all the possibilities he would face when he got to know the school he was enrolling in.
'If we assume logically, usually, male protagonists usually have plug-ins such as transparent eyes, photographic memories, and systems regarding wealth and power. Apart from that, the most cliche male protagonist plot that occurs in a school setting is proving the male protagonist's value, the struggle for love from the Female lead, a divine doctor as bodyguard, and the beginning of the rebirth of someone who has high power or authority. By knowing the names of the people at school and remembering the names of the side characters and the beautiful teacher who might be the female lead, I can make decisions and make plans if I am really in a novel.'
'I will ask father about a little information from Haishen High School' with that thought, Wu Yan immediately asked his father "Dad. Can I ask about some information about that school?"
"Oh... it seems like you are starting to be interested in this school. Since you are going to enroll in that school, I will tell you about some things I know about Haishen High School." Seeing his son's interest in Haishen High School, he answered his son swiftly.
"Haishen High School is a school that every year has several students who are included in the top 10 in the province as achievers with the highest scores in the national exam. Because of this, Haisen High School is the goal of almost all parents to send their children there."
Wu Linyun continued, "In fact, children from first-rate families such as the Lin Family, Feng Family, and Yu Family are graduates of that school."
"The LIn, Feng, and Yu families?! Gosh! No wonder I've heard news about the Feng Family's second Young Master and the Yu Family's first Young Miss who have entered the business world even though they are around twenty-five years old!" Li Na was even more surprised by the information about several students who graduated from Haishen High School.
'Lin? Feng? and and the first miss of the Yu Family? I think I know what novel I'm in now!'
