175: Not interested in studying but good at languages
It's not that they have a grudge against me, those people at Hanoi University have done this kind of thing several times.
The leader is named Ruan Wuxiong, and he's a rich kid...
Wei Shichao explained why he cheered when Ruan Wuxiong's group got beaten up.
It turned out that Ruan Wuxiong had taken a liking to the girlfriend of one of Wei Shichao's Vietnamese classmates.
Not only was the girl stolen away, but that classmate was also beaten up by Ruan Wuxiong's group.
So, the news that Ruan Wuxiong's group had been beaten made some students clap their hands in delight.
Wei Shichao hadn't expected that the ones who dealt with those people were Dragon Country People, and suddenly, a sense of pride welled up in his heart.
"Haha, our Li Ge (Brother Li) is very strong.
Someone who can deadlift 500 kilograms without equipment—Ruan Wuxiong's group would be lucky to withstand even one slap from Li Ge (Brother Li)."
Xiong Hui was smug, as if he had done it himself.
"Did you see that on Kuaishou in China or on the international Kuaishou?"
Li Qinghe was a little curious; he had deleted that fitness video from his Kuaishou account, considering the account's style at the time.
He didn't know which platform Xiong Hui had seen his fitness video on.
"I saw it the moment you uploaded it on Kuaishou, and even though you deleted it later, I still remember it."
Xiong Hui's face radiated a glow called confidence.
Li Qinghe hadn't forgotten that he was wandering around to see if Ruan Wuxiong's group was up to any tricks behind the scenes.
From Wei Shichao's words, he seemed quite familiar with those people.
Indeed, in this world, the people who understand you best, besides your closest friends, are your enemies.
So, he began to ask Wei Shichao about Ruan Wuxiong's group.
From Wei Shichao, he learned that Ruan Wuxiong's group lived in a building one street away from Hanoi University.
That building had four floors, and Ruan Wuxiong's group had rented all of them.
It was essentially Ruan Wuxiong's base.
As for why he knew so much, it was because Wei Shichao's Vietnamese classmate, after getting beaten up, spent some time tracking them to find that place.
Although he hadn't done anything yet, knowing so much detail meant he still intended to do something.
That building was easy to find because it had very clear markers.
To the left was a Beef Rice Noodles shop, and to the right was a 7-Eleven convenience store.
Once you found these two shops, the building in the middle was the one Ruan Wuxiong's group rented.
Wei Shichao had a gut feeling that Li Qinghe might be up to something, but he couldn't be sure.
After all, given what Li Qinghe did at noon, Ruan Wuxiong's group might not dare to bother him again.
They say a strong dragon doesn't oppress a local snake, but there's also a saying that a mantis's arm cannot stop a cart.
"Li Ge (Brother Li), you must have practiced Dragon Country People martial arts, right?"
Wei Shichao's eyes held a hint of expectation.
After all, which Dragon Country People boy hasn't dreamed of being a martial arts master who leaps high and low and can take on ten opponents?
This fierce guy in front of him had already achieved a record of one against twenty-three.
So, a record of one against ten would be considered a reduction in combat power for Li Qinghe.
"Yes, I have."
Li Qinghe thought of the Tongbei Quan and Tan Tui he had drawn from the system, both authentic Dragon Country People martial arts.
So, he gave a definitive answer.
"Li Ge (Brother Li) is awesome!"
Wei Shichao and Xiong Hui exclaimed in unison, almost putting up their fingers to make a '666' gesture.
"Li Ge (Brother Li), are you free tomorrow night?
A few of us Dragon Country People international students and local Vietnamese students are meeting up for drinks tomorrow night.
Come experience a Vietnamese university student party with us."
Xiong Hui proactively invited Li Qinghe.
"Sure, what time tomorrow night?"
Li Qinghe thought for a moment, realizing he had no plans for tomorrow night, and agreed.
"Tomorrow night at 7:30 PM, we'll meet at Hanoi University.
I'll wait for you at the main gate."
Xiong Hui was overjoyed.
He hadn't expected Li Qinghe to agree so readily, leaving him with a belly full of unsaid words.
But he was happy that his goal had been achieved.
Li Qinghe chatted with the two international students for a while longer, then waved goodbye and left the teaching building.
He also toured the adult education building and even accompanied Nguyen Thi Trinh to one class.
The learning atmosphere in adult education was much more relaxed.
There weren't many people in a class, perhaps around 20-something students sitting in the classroom.
Everyone was dressed quite maturely and fashionably.
Perhaps because her studies weren't going very well, Nguyen Thi Trinh was very low-key in class, choosing a seat in a corner.
Already petite, she became even more unnoticeable when she sat in a corner and hunched her body, having very little presence in the class.
Li Qinghe, wearing his detection glasses, sat beside her, his tall physique very conspicuous.
A few hot girls frequently stole glances at him.
Li Qinghe looked at the several dark green bars in his glasses and had no thoughts at all.
In fact, he hadn't seen a single white bar in the entire class.
Unlike Nguyen Thi Linh's class, where he could still see a few white bars, even if their appearance was a bit lacking.
Li Qinghe could tell that even though Nguyen Thi Trinh was trying very hard to study, she was genuinely struggling.
Learning is also something that requires talent.
Some people effortlessly achieve above-average grades, if not top ones.
Others study diligently, waking up at 5 AM to read, yet their grades are similar to those who don't attend class.
Nguyen Thi Trinh and Nguyen Thi Linh were at opposite ends of the spectrum when it came to academics.
No wonder Nguyen Thi Linh got into university but couldn't afford it; after Li Qinghe sponsored her studies, she was able to catch up with the class progress through her own efforts, even with a month's late start.
Meanwhile, Nguyen Thi Trinh didn't get into university and now struggles even with adult education.
Now, Li Qinghe placing Nguyen Thi Trinh there was actually just to give her something to do, so she wouldn't have to stay at home alone.
After all, Nguyen Thi Linh was attending school, and for her to stay home doing chores, in comparison, was quite disheartening.
Compared to adult education, Nguyen Thi Trinh learned Dragon Country People relatively quickly; she could already speak some simple words and sentences.
For example, "Brother, you can do it!"
"Brother is amazing!"
"Brother, hug me."
"I can still do it."
"I still want more."
...This also shows that Nguyen Thi Trinh's language talent was quite good, and she found joy in learning, asking Li Qinghe to speak more Dragon Country People with her in their conversations.
Now, when Li Qinghe said: "Stand a bit taller, lean down a bit, turn around," Nguyen Thi Trinh could understand.
Actually, the content of adult education was relatively simple, but Li Qinghe saw a hint of confusion in Nguyen Thi Trinh's eyes.
So, Li Qinghe quietly put his arm around her slender waist and whispered in her ear: "A Trinh, don't push yourself too hard.
We're just here to get a university diploma; learning Dragon Country People well is more useful than this."
When Li Qinghe told her to learn Dragon Country People, it somehow touched a nerve in Nguyen Thi Trinh, causing her face to flush instantly; she must have thought of something.
Li Qinghe's words still had some effect.
Nguyen Thi Trinh's mood in the classroom relaxed significantly, and her eyes became more at ease.
After accompanying Nguyen Thi Trinh for one class, Li Qinghe put on his civilian glasses and wandered around Hanoi University.
Not finding anyone dangerous, he remembered the building Ruan Wuxiong's group rented, as mentioned by Wei Shichao, and casually walked in that direction.
After walking down a street, he slowly searched along the roadside.
Suddenly, a Rice Noodles shop appeared in his sight, and after one building, there was a 7-Eleven convenience store.
Between these two shops was a building with a white exterior wall.
There was no shop on the ground floor, and the balconies above were decorated with Roman columns and sculptures.
It was clear that the original owner had adopted a Vietnamese and French design style.
Li Qinghe walked past the entrance and saw that the main door was ajar.
He looked left and right, saw no surveillance cameras, and simply pushed the door open and walked in.
