He rushed to my side and begged, "Mr. Raymond, please, you have to help me..."
I glanced at Ernest Clive and smiled. "Mr. Clive might be better equipped to handle this situation."
Ernest Clive couldn't suppress a bitter smile. "Mr. Raymond, please forgive my ignorance."
"No need for such formality, Mr. Clive. I merely stumbled upon the solution by chance. When it comes to professional knowledge, I'm nowhere near your expertise," I responded modestly.
This humbled Mr. Clive even further.
Ernest Clive thought to himself that such a young man with extraordinary skills yet such a humble personality was truly admirable. "This young man will have an incredible future," he reflected silently.
Then, Ernest Clive approached me, bowed respectfully and said, "I told you earlier that if you could genuinely find a solution, I'd be willing to learn from you as your student."
