Chapter: 4741

Liu Manqiong was astonished and asked: "Mr. Ye also knows about the three souls and seven spirits?"

Ye Chen hesitated for a moment before asking: "Do you know it too?"

"Certainly..." Liu Manqiong smiled slightly and spoke seriously: "Mr. Ye, don't forget that I am studying Chinese literature, and I have studied for many years. In fact, studying Chinese ultimately means learning philosophy and history."

Ye Chen nodded lightly and began to speak: "Reading is still good, as the essence of five thousand years of civilization is all in books."

Liu Manqiong laughed: "Although Mr. Ye didn't finish college, I'm sure you must have read a lot. You even know about this obscure Taoist concept, three souls and seven spirits."

Ye Chen chuckled at himself: "I haven't read many books, spending 20 years at the bottom of society, where there's no time or energy to read much. These are things my father told me when I was young."

Liu Manqiong spoke seriously: "In fact, it's never too late to read. If Mr. Ye can spare some time, he can set a plan for himself to read one book per month, then try to read two books in a month and one book per week."

Saying that, Liu Manqiong added: "If Mr. Ye doesn't mind, I can help you set up a reading plan."

Ye Chen couldn't help but ask her: "Won't I have to check my progress and set assignments when the time comes?"

Liu Manqiong smiled slightly, saying: "I can do it if Mr. Ye needs it."

Facing Liu Manqiong's good intentions, Ye Chen didn't reject her.

Although he was now a billionaire, he still felt regretful about not having received a complete higher education.

And in the past, he wasn't unwilling to use his leisure time to read more books; it was just that many times he had no choice but to do so.

Just after marrying Shao Chunran for a few years, except for sleep time, he basically didn't take off his apron, and on top of that, there was never someone to encourage and motivate him, so he hadn't developed the habit of reading books over these years.

Since Liu Manqiong was willing to play the role of encouragement and guidance, Ye Chen naturally agreed to it.

Liu Manqiong was very happy and said to Ye Chen: "Then we've reached a consensus. When you have time, remember to register an email box, I'll help you select some books, and then send electronic versions through your mailbox. This way, you can read them on your mobile phone anytime and anywhere. And when you're about done reading, I'll send you some questions through your mailbox. Later, you should try to find time to answer them."

Ye Chen nodded and said sincerely: "No problem, Teacher Liu."

Teacher Liu laughed and said: "You're the first one to call me Teacher Liu."

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Then I'm your first disciple."

Teacher Liu asked him with a smile: "Do you think I'm suitable for being a teacher? I mean, a true teacher?"

"Suitable," Ye Chen said very seriously: "To be a truly qualified teacher, one must have achieved learning first. You fully meet this condition; next is to set an example as a teacher, which I believe you also don't have any problems with."

As he spoke, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Many teachers these days have lost their initial enthusiasm for teaching and are only concerned with pursuing fame and wealth. However, I believe that if Miss Liu were to become a teacher, she would definitely not be like them; therefore, I think you should strive to do better than many others."

Teacher Liu was heartened by Ye Chen's words and couldn't help but express her excitement: "If Mr. Ye believes in me so much, then I will definitely work hard towards this direction from now on!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly and warned: "If you really become a teacher in the future, don't forget your initial intention."

"I know," Teacher Liu said solemnly and then thought of something, asking Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, are you leaving for America today?" JrNovels.com
