Chapter 399: Chapter 401: Cheng Junnan’s Call
Gu Tiantian didn’t pay much attention to the matter of titles, and since Huang Ruixin was her tutor, it was only natural for her to call her Mr. Huang.
As for anything else...
She really hadn’t given it much thought for the time being; she just wanted to study hard and strive to pass the exams in one go.
As for Huang Ruixin, she was naturally more cautious and saw that Gu Tiantian still addressed her as Mr. Huang. It seemed that Gu Tiantian still wanted to maintain some distance.
No expectations, no disappointments.
One of them focused on teaching, while the other focused on learning. Time passed minute by minute. After an hour, Gu Tiantian cheerfully saw Huang Ruixin to the living room door.
It was almost noon. Gu Tiantian called her grandmother to tell her that she still had classes in the afternoon and wouldn’t be returning for lunch.
Rather than going back and forth, it was better to wait until the two classes in the afternoon were over, then head back together.
Having lunch here meant she could also take a nap.
Just as Gu Tiantian hung up the phone, a call from an unfamiliar number came in.
"Hello, this is Gu Tiantian. May I ask who’s calling?"
On the other end, Cheng Junnan was sitting in his office, holding a document in his hand, but his attention was on the phone.
"Tian Tian, it’s Cheng Junnan."
"President Cheng?"
Not knowing why Cheng Junnan was calling her, Gu Tiantian frowned slightly. As she walked towards the living room sofa, she asked curiously.
"Does President Cheng need something from me?"
Since Bai Chenyao mentioned letting Li Mu handle her resignation, Gu Tiantian had no doubt that she could indeed leave.
"Can’t I reach out to you for no reason?"
The gentle and pleasant voice of Cheng Junnan came through the phone.
No doubt about it, Cheng Junnan’s voice was truly pleasant to listen to.
Gentle, elegant, like the sound of running water, it gently seeped into one’s heart through the ears, making one feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed.
Recalling Cheng Junnan’s previous facades, Gu Tiantian frowned and quickly discarded the messy thoughts from her mind.
"President Cheng, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now."
"Wait, Tian Tian."
Cheng Junnan’s voice was as gentle as ever, but it was a bit faster.
"I want to know, why did you suddenly resign? Is there a reason?"
Frowning, Gu Tiantian quickly replied.
"President Cheng, I want to continue with my postgraduate studies, so I’ve decided to resign."
This reason was more than sufficient.
Were it not for the fact that Cheng Junnan had helped her before, she wouldn’t have even told him this.
On the other end of the line, a faint smile appeared on Cheng Junnan’s gentle and elegant face. As he lightly rubbed the folder with his fingers, his voice remained gentle and pleasant.
"I see. Actually, that’s quite good. You’re still young now, and girls your age should indeed focus on studying and enriching themselves."
Gu Tiantian didn’t expect Cheng Junnan to say this and didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
"When I first saw your information, I wondered why a girl your age would generally still be in college, and then I found out you had skipped grades. You must be very smart."
His inexplicable praise left Gu Tiantian a bit puzzled.
"President Cheng, what exactly are you trying to say?"
A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone.
The laughter, like his voice, was soothing, gentle, like a spring breeze lightly brushing across the cheek, carrying warmth.
"I just wanted to ask you, to see why you decided to resign."
Before Gu Tiantian could speak, Cheng Junnan’s gentle voice sounded again.
