"Xiaoxi, that character isn't quite right. Look at how Dad writes it, and then look at yours."
"See the difference?"
Lin Chen was teaching Lin Xiaoxi how to write.
Lin Xiaoxi could already write her name. He was starting with simple characters, and she was learning diligently.
"Dad, you're a grown-up, and I'm a little person. Your steps are big, and mine are, well, smaller."
Lin Xiaoxi said innocently.
Lin Chen chuckled and explained, "Xiaoxi, we don't say people are 'big people' or 'little people', okay? And we don't use 'little person' to describe kids."
"You can say you're a baby."
"You could also say you're a child."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded, as if she understood.
Lin Chen smiled and began to tell a story: "Xiaoxi, a long, long time ago, we humans were just like other animals. We didn't have writing, and we couldn't write."
"So, think about it, what did people do back then?"
Lin Xiaoxi: "Like puppies, use their mouths?"
Lin Chen chuckled, "We can use our mouths when we're face to face, but what if we can't see each other?"
"How would we tell each other?"
"How would we warn others about danger in a place, or how would we find our way home in the forest?"
Lin Xiaoxi pondered.
After a moment, her eyes lit up. "Dad, I know! They can draw pictures to tell other people!"
Lin Chen ruffled Lin Xiaoxi's head. "Xiaoxi is so smart. That's exactly how people in ancient times started."
"The oldest forms of writing were just like drawings. Later, the wise people among humanity gradually created written language—"
Lin Xiaoxi listened intently.
"Host, you have taught Lin Xiaoxi to write for twenty hours. Your calligraphy has advanced to the grandmaster level."
The system's voice rang in Lin Chen's mind.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
A flood of information surged into his mind.
With the system's assistance, Lin Chen quickly grasped everything, as if he'd been practicing calligraphy for decades.
Half an hour passed.
"Xiaoxi, let's take a break from practicing calligraphy for now."
"You need to rest your eyes. Daddy will teach you English."
Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoxi began to converse in English.
He wasn't going to teach Lin Xiaoxi vocabulary or grammar. Just speaking was enough; with more practice, she would learn.
Most children learn English, and might not use it later on, but the Xu Family had many businesses overseas, and Lin Xiaoxi would likely inherit the Xu Family's assets in the future.
He himself would be able to earn a lot of money in the future, and he might even have businesses abroad, which would also belong to Lin Xiaoxi.
It was very necessary for Lin Xiaoxi to learn English.
"Host, your Japanese has reached a proficient level."
After more than half an hour, the system's voice rang out.
So far, Lin Chen had mastered English, German, French, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, and Japanese.
"That's great, I won't need subtitles to watch movies anymore."
Lin Chen muttered inwardly.
It was still necessary to learn Japanese.
It would come in handy when watching movies, and it would also be useful for Japanese if he ever fought against Dongying Country.
Learning English used to be so hard, I killed off a lot of brain cells. Now, I can easily learn seven foreign languages.
Lin Chen thought to himself.
Continuing to teach Lin Xiaoxi, Lin Chen estimated that he would even be able to speak the language of an African tribe in the future.
"Beep! Beep!"
Lin Chen's phone suddenly rang.
It was a video call from Xu Mengyao.
He had made two WeChat video calls with Xu Mengyao before, both at night, because Lin Xiaoxi wanted to video chat with her.
It was morning.
At this time, Xu Mengyao was usually busy with work.
"Xiaoxi, your mom's video call."
Lin Chen answered the video call and handed it to Lin Xiaoxi.
Previously, he hadn't said much to Xu Mengyao during video calls.
They had a child and had even gotten married. Naturally, he wanted to truly win Xu Mengyao over, but he couldn't be too forward.
There was nothing he could do; the Xu Family was too wealthy.
If he seemed too enthusiastic, Xu Mengyao and her parents might think he was after their money.
"Mom!"
Lin Xiaoxi called out happily.
"Xiaoxi, Mom will video chat with you tonight. Mom has something to say to Dad now, give the phone to Dad."
Xu Mengyao said with a smile.
"Dad, your wife's phone call."
Lin Xiaoxi said seriously, like a little adult.
Lin Chen took the phone and smiled, "Mengyao, what's up?"
Xu Mengyao said, "Xiaoxi, go play by yourself first. Lin Chen, go to the study, I need your help with work."
"Okay."
Lin Chen arrived in the study quickly.
Xu Mengyao asked, "Lin Chen, you said you know English, German, French, and Russian?"
Lin Chen nodded slightly, "I also know a tiny bit of Arabic, Japanese, and Portuguese. What's up?"
Xu Mengyao was shocked.
Lin Chen knew even more foreign languages than she thought.
"I urgently need a German document. It involves a lot of technical terms, and our company's translators aren't up to par. I don't know if you can understand it."
Xu Mengyao said.
Lin Chen smiled. "Send it over, I'll take a look."
\n\n
Soon, Xu Mengyao sent the file.
\n\n
Lin Chen opened the file and checked it.
\n\n
"It should be fine."
\n\n
"I'll send you the translated file in half an hour," Lin Chen said.
\n\n
"Thank you!" Xu Mengyao said.
After ending the call, Lin Chen quickly opened his computer and began translating. Even the most obscure professional vocabulary was a piece of cake for him.
Meanwhile, on Xu Mengyao's end.

"Boss, we contacted four translation companies, and they all said they couldn't finish the translation in two hours."
"They said there are too many specialized terms."
An assistant beside Xu Mengyao said helplessly.
"I've found someone, let's wait."
Xu Mengyao said, "You can go out first, I need some quiet time."
The assistant left, and Xu Mengyao dialed her father's number.
"Dad, how's Mom doing?"
Xu Mengyao asked.
Xu Guofeng, Xu Mengyao's father, smiled gently. "Your mother's recovering well. In another two months, when things have stabilized, your mother and I will return to the country."
Xu Mengyao said with delight, "Two months and we're going back?"
It seemed Xu Guofeng had planned to stay longer.
Xu Guofeng said with a helpless tone, "Your mother misses home, she misses Xiaoxi, she wishes she could fly back right now."
"Is Xiaoxi doing okay with Lin Chen?"
He knew Lin Xiaoxi was with Lin Chen, but he hadn't contacted Lin Chen. He didn't approve of Lin Chen.
Lin Chen was just an average guy. Xu Guofeng had only one precious daughter, Xu Mengyao, and naturally, he didn't want Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao to be together.
Fortunately, Xu Mengyao wasn't interested in Lin Chen either.
Xu Mengyao said, "Lin Chen is Xiaoxi's father. He's very good to Xiaoxi, and Xiaoxi is very close to him."
"Mm."
"That's good."
Xu Guofeng said.
Xu Mengyao asked, "Dad, you had someone investigate Lin Chen back then. Was he really just average in every way?"
"Yes, why?"
Xu Guofeng asked.
Xu Mengyao said, "Dad, who did you have investigate back then? Did they not look into it thoroughly and just brush you off?"
Xu Guofeng was stunned.
"Mengyao, are you saying Lin Chen isn't ordinary?"
Xu Guofeng inquired.
