The banquet did not last long. Locke had just returned to Fairview Town and parked the car in the garage when he saw a woman visiting, Mr. Solis's wife, Gabrielle.

"Hello, Mrs. Solis." Locke closed the garage door and asked, "What can I do?"

"Um~ That's it. Our family has encountered some difficulties recently. Solis's mother was knocked to the hospital, and Solis was also taken away by the FBI..."

Gabrielle's tone was a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing. I believe Mr. Solis will return home sooner or later." Locke comforted.

"I believe so, but because Solis is now imprisoned, the family's finances have been affected somewhat. I heard Susan say that you are proficient in mathematics and helped her get more tax refunds..."

Gabrielle hesitated to express her purpose.

Because some things were found out and Mr. Solis was investigated, the family had no income. It also cost a lot of money to hire a lawyer and bail money. She needed to survive alone.

Mr. Solis usually earns a lot, but he also spends a lot. Gabrielle's favorite thing in particular is to take Mr. Solis's credit card and go to the luxury goods counter in the mall to swipe money.

Their family's savings were limited, and when they encountered these problems one after another, her housewife friends could do little to help. Gabrielle had to rely more on finding solutions on her own.

Fortunately, Susan gave her a suggestion at this time, which was to ask Locke for help, and also told her about Locke helping her get a huge tax refund.

She didn't care before, but now the successive changes in her family have caused big financial problems, and she can only come to Locke to help with an audit to see if she can save as much money as possible.

"Mr. Solis is a friend of mine, and I hope to be able to help him."

Locke thought for a moment and said, "I can't do much about the lawsuit, but I can help you sort out your family's financial situation. I hope it will be of some use."

What Mr. Solis encountered was actually participating in the exploitation of labor in third world countries.

For this reason, Locke will not help Mr. Solis get away with it, otherwise he can spend money and use his connections to get Mr. Solis out.

In addition, it can help sort out their family's financial situation, which doesn't take much time anyway.

"That's great, thank you very much." Gabrielle said happily.

"I just got home and I still need to sort it out. I'll bring all the bills and everything over here. Don't miss anything. I'll take a look at it for you."

"Okay, I'll go back and get ready." Gabrielle happily ran towards her home.

Back home, Peggy went back to the study to continue solving the math problems assigned by Professor Gate. Locke helped Gabrielle, who was holding various bills, sort out her financial situation.

Soon, Gabrielle left with these things and the tips compiled by Locke, while Locke returned to the study.

"Have you figured it out?" Locke knew it when he saw Peggy's expression.

"That's right." Peggy nodded and said a number, which was the same as Locke's calculation.

"Let me see your manuscript paper," Locke said.

"No problem, let me see yours too." Peggy handed her manuscript paper to Locke, then came to Locke's desk and picked up his manuscript paper.

"The method you used is different from mine, but it seems easier." Peggy said after reading it.

"It was just a flash of inspiration." Locke said calmly: "I wonder how Sheldon's progress is?"

"Don't worry, as soon as he solves it, he will definitely call and announce it." Peggy said with certainty.

"You don't want to tell him about your untie?"

"Anyway, I'm only the second to solve it. As long as I'm not the first, what's the difference if I say it or not?"

More than an hour later, at Dr. Hofstadter's house.

"I figured it out. I'm the smartest person in the world." Little Sheldon happily jumped down from his chair and announced with a dance.

"Very good." After hearing this, Beverly immediately came to Sheldon and praised, "Well done."

When Leonard heard Beverly praising Sheldon so much, Leonard, who had never received such treatment, looked aggrieved.

"I'm going to call Peggy and tell her that I'm the smartest person." After being happy for a while, Sheldon said and came to the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, little Sheldon couldn't help but raise his chin: "Peggy, let me tell you something, I have solved Dr. Gate's problem."

"So?" Peggy's answer was somewhat indifferent.

Little Sheldon choked for a moment, and then emphasized: "I said I figured it out. I was the first, so I am the smartest."

"Really?" Peggy said a number in a calm tone, which immediately left Sheldon stunned.

"Have you figured it out too?" Sheldon preferred that he heard wrongly.

"Just seventy-six minutes ago." Peggy sneered: "And Locke solved it earlier."

"What!" Little Sheldon shouted: "I don't believe it, you lied to me!"

"I know you called me and wanted to seize the first place." Peggy said calmly: "But unfortunately, the first one to solve it was Locke. He had already told Dr. Gate, but you still I just don’t know.”

Little Sheldon was stunned: "Impossible, how could this be possible?"

He couldn't accept such a gap. Both Locke and Peggy had solved the problem before him. Doesn't that mean that in a field like mathematics that purely tests IQ, he is the last one among the three!

"No!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help shouting loudly.

"It seems that things are not developing as some people expected." Leonard Youyou, who has been secretly listening to the news here, said.

The next moment, little Sheldon's face twitched, he hung up the phone and ran towards the toilet.

"He either went to cry or went to the toilet." Peggy hung up the phone with a determined look on her face.

Locke chuckled. Peggy really knew Sheldon, or Sheldon was too easy to see through.

Previously, he had Peggy and Little Sheldon who were not in the same school, so the impact was not obvious yet.

But since being in a university, things have become different.

The courses taken by the three people are highly overlapping, and it can be said that they see each other in school without looking up.

Not only was he suppressed by Locke, but there was also a girl of the same age but vaguely smarter than him next to him, which repeatedly hit little Sheldon's pride and self-confidence.

The originally full self-confidence was now shaky and almost unsustainable.

If little Sheldon wasn't still only eleven years old, a time of great plasticity, I'm afraid his psychology would be directly distorted.
