A few minutes later.

Originally, only Chu Yue and Ye Zhaodi were squatting in front of the door of the grocery store, but now there was another person, who was wearing a suit and tie. He threw something on the ground to cushion his buttocks, and then sat on the doorstep.

Pei Hanchuan never imagined that the ordinary-looking potatoes dipped in chili powder could be so delicious. He took a bite and it was warm, spicy, fragrant, and a little crispy. From the tip of his tongue to his stomach, he kept shouting for another bite. His soul was almost hooked away from his body.

He didn't care about the suit at all, he cared about the face of the young master of the Pei family, he just sat down and started eating.

Pei Hanchuan ate with his eyes fixed on the coal stove, and shouted, "I just didn't have lunch, and I'm very hungry. If you roast a little more, I can at least eat five big potatoes."

They were just potatoes. Chu Yue could afford it, so she asked Ye Zhaodi to go to the warehouse and get a few more potatoes.

In addition, there are wild mushrooms sent by Song Dashun placed at the entrance of the store. Most of them were sold yesterday, and only a few are left today.

Chu Yue picked out a few better ones and asked Ye Zhaodi to wash them. Then she grilled them and continued to entertain Pei Hanchuan.

Pei Hanchuan licked the chili powder on his lips and watched Ye Zhaodi slowly turn the mushrooms over and roast them. He was so anxious that he simply snatched the chopsticks away and roasted and ate them himself.

Wild mushrooms themselves have a delicious flavor, and they are delicious even if they are not dipped in anything.

If you add chili powder, it will taste like heaven.

"Delicious! This is delicious too! Chu Yue, your chili powder is amazing, it tastes good with anything! If there's a steamed bun, it would be so delicious to dip it in."

"Master Pei, are you still eating steamed buns? I thought you only ate sandwiches and wore leather shoes while sitting in a cake shop drinking coffee?" Chu Yue said this, deliberately teasing Pei Hanchuan.

Ye Zhaodi didn't realize that Chu Yue was joking, and she nodded very seriously, completely agreeing with what Chu Yue said.

Pei Hanchuan didn't feel embarrassed. He ate the wild mushrooms dipped in chili powder one bite at a time and said, "Of course I eat sandwiches and coffee, but now, no matter how good the food is, it can't compare to this. It's still the most comfortable to sit in front of your store and eat potatoes."

Speaking of this, Pei Hanchuan remembered something.

He moved his butt and said, "What you want is under my butt."

It turned out that the thing that Pei Hanchuan threw on the ground as a cushion for his butt when he sat down just now was exactly what Chu Yue wanted yesterday, a newspaper from the Shanghai Stock Exchange for the past month.

Pei Hanchuan said, "I have collected everything I have at home, not just the one month's worth. Take a look, is there any news you are looking for?"

His intuition was very sharp, and he guessed that Chu Yue was not just reading the newspaper, but must be looking for something.

Chu Yue felt a little disgusted about taking the newspaper out from under Pei Hanchuan's butt, but there was no other way, so she could only frown and bear it.

She didn't move, just threw the newspaper on the ground, opened it and read it one by one.

The newspapers were neatly arranged, starting with February 1st... Number 2, Number 3, Number 4...

Chu Yue looked very serious as she read through the pages one by one, not even missing the little GGs in the corners of the newspaper.

She was a top student when she was a student, and was very adept at handling this kind of text information, able to read ten lines at a glance.

So even though there is a lot of information, it is troublesome to search manually, but for Chu Yue, it doesn't actually take much time.

Ye Zhaodi doesn’t know many words and doesn’t have Chu Yue’s IQ. When she saw Chu Yue flipping through the newspapers so quickly and so seriously, there were only three words in her mind - so handsome!

I wish she could have the ability like Chu Yue.

Pei Hanchuan kept eating, glancing at Chu Yue from time to time.

He took a quick look at these newspapers last night. Apart from the quarrel between the North and the South over economic policies, there was nothing worth paying attention to in other news. However, the gossip about the Shanghai market was quite interesting. As expected, it was a big city and even quarrels were reported in the newspapers.

He really couldn't figure out what kind of news Chu Yue was looking for that was worth her caring so much.

Chu Yue kept flipping through the pages, and before she knew it, she saw the newspaper issue No. 16, which clearly stated "The first batch of college students enrolled after the restoration of the college entrance examination system."

This is it!

Chu Yue pulled out the newspaper, held it in her hand and read it carefully, from the front page headlines to the second page, the third page... In the lower left corner, in a place only the size of a palm, she finally saw the content she wanted to read.

The news said, "On the first day of school at a Shanghai university, a student was found to have used someone else's name to enroll. After the school inspection team confirmed that it was true, the student was expelled and will not be allowed to apply for university again for the next five years."

This kind of content could only be considered a campus announcement at best and was not worthy of being in a newspaper.

The real reason was that the student and his parents protested against the school inspection team's investigation, causing a lot of noise in the school and alarming the security department, so the news went from campus news to social news and appeared in the small pages of the newspaper.

Chu Yue looked at the news and laughed.

"The student and the student's parents" are definitely Chu Yaoyao and Li A-mei. Only this mother and daughter don't care about their reputation and would make a big fuss in school.

They were happy for a few months, but they never expected that they would be expelled from school, shattering Chu Yaoyao's dream of attending a prestigious school.

Pei Hanchuan had been curious for a long time. Seeing Chu Yue laughing softly, he moved closer and saw, "——Making a scene in the school and being expelled from the school? Is this the news you are looking for?"

"Yeah." Chu Yue nodded.

For her, this incident was just watching the evildoers getting their comeuppance, but for the original owner who was angered to death, it was as important as her own life.

So even though Chu Yue was in the southwest, she never forgot it from beginning to end.

Pei Hanchuan took a few more bites of potatoes and said, "Do you know this person?"

Chu Yue raised her eyes, her eyes full of surprise.

Pei Hanchuan looks like a cynical, sloppy playboy, but he is actually quite smart, with a sharp side hidden beneath his skin. Several times when he spoke to Chu Yue, he was very direct and to the point.

Pei Hanchuan knew why Chu Yue looked at him like that. He shrugged and didn't care. He didn't need to hide anything in front of Chu Yue.

In fact, Pei Hanchuan couldn't figure out why this was happening. Even in front of his biological sister Pei Mingzhu, he would deliberately hide something, but he always felt that this was unnecessary with Chu Yue.

He said whatever he wanted to say without any reservations.

Because Chu Yue is his friend, but more than just a friend.

Pei Hanchuan continued, "I have friends and connections in Shanghai. If you need, I can help you investigate this person's situation."

He used the bamboo stick that he had used to poke potatoes to poke the news about Chu Yaoyao in the newspaper and made a suggestion to Chu Yue.
