"You're the one who doesn't know what's good for you, aren't you?" Zhou Mo also got angry: "I was having dinner with my junior fellow students, and you came up to me and asked for a scolding. Who do you blame?"

Yu Yizhou's face turned ugly with anger. Looking at Zhou Mo's bright and beautiful face, his eyes became more sharp and resentful.

"Let's go."

Zhang Lanlan was stunned for a moment and immediately stood up.

Yu Yizhou passed Zhang Lanlan and limped away.

Zhang Lanlan didn't understand what was going on, so she immediately said goodbye to Zhou Mo and the other two and left with Yu Yizhou.

Chi Zhouxu looked in the direction Yu Yizhou left and cursed inwardly, "Isn't he stupid?"

Zhou Mo smiled lightly, but felt happy in his heart, "Xiao Chi, you can curse too."

Chi Zhouxu jokingly said, "As for 'national quintessence', everyone can come up with a few lines about it."

Tang Jiahui also stood up for Zhou Mo, "Senior Sister, if I were you, I wouldn't be satisfied with just scolding Yu Yizhou every time I saw him. I would chase him and scold him."

"That's not necessary," Zhou Mo said calmly, "We are in public. We are high-quality talents. We should not be the ones who slip through the net of higher education."

Having said that, Zhou Mo actually just tolerated it.

Back then, when Yu Yizhou came to the Zhou family to cause trouble, Zhou Mo was definitely a crazy woman.

Zhou Zheng was chasing Yu Yizhou with a mop. Zhou Mo blocked him at the door of the unit. Yu Yizhou wanted to push Zhou Mo away and escape, but Zhou Mo held him tightly and refused to let go, insisting that he be beaten by her father.

Otherwise I won’t feel relieved.

Unexpectedly, Yu Yizhou reacted faster and pulled his arm back before Zhou Mo could grab it.

Zhou Mo tried to prevent him from escaping, so he grabbed Yu Yizhou's belt in a hurry...

Zhou Mo didn't dare to recall what happened next. He had never lost such a big person in his life...

Chi Zhouxu looked at her with disdain and disbelief, "Senior Sister, how could you know someone like Yu Yizhou?"

Zhou Mo: "He and I met through a blind date."

Chi Zhouxu was surprised. "Who introduced him? Is he so unreliable?"

"A colleague from my mom's workplace."

Chi Zhouxu was a little bit incredulous and said earnestly, "Senior Sister, let me be frank. To introduce someone like Yu Yizhou to you, I'm afraid he has a grudge against your family, right?"

Zhou Mo was slightly stunned.

"Probably not," she said a little uncertainly.

Zhou Mo was not particularly familiar with the people in Liu Xiangru's unit, as she did not attend junior high school at the school where Liu Xiangru taught.

Although Liu Xiangru would also mention some work matters at home, Zhou Mo always only focused on his own studies or hobbies, and rarely paid attention to Liu Xiangru's workplace ecology.

Chi Zhouxu's reminder suddenly brought back some remaining memories in her mind.

When she was in her third year of graduate school, she broke up with her most recent ex-boyfriend, Ren Huaibo, and the news of her cheating became known to everyone.

Ren Huaibo left without a word and went to the capital to live with the object of his affair, a senior student who was in her fourth doctoral program.

The two of them left very quickly and ran away after the defense. They didn't even collect their graduation certificates and degree certificates and just had the college mail them to them, leaving behind a mess and rumors for Zhou Mo to bear alone.

Zhou Mo finally graduated with a master's degree, went on to study for a doctorate, changed his laboratory and major, and lived a normal life.

Liu Xiangru saw that Zhou Mo had been single for more than a year, and considering Zhou Mo's age and education level, she was really worried.

So he followed his colleague's advice and introduced a blind date to Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo also felt that he really couldn't waste time like this. He could try to contact some people to see if he could develop a new relationship, let go of the past and start over, so he agreed to Liu Xiangru.

At that time, Liu Xiangru mentioned that the person who introduced Zhou Mo was her colleague Teacher Zhang.

Zhou Mo didn't think much about it and didn't ask any teacher Zhang.

Now thinking back...could it be the "Teacher Zhang" who competed with Liu Xiangru for the position of judge in Manshan County?

It’s terrifying when you think about it.

"Senior Sister, when you usually get along with Yu Yizhou, don't you find that he has bad character?" Chi Zhouxu asked.

Zhou Mo recalled, "The first time I met him was at Simbake. He took the initiative to invite me for coffee. At that time... I didn't see anything wrong with him. He was well-dressed and looked decent. Oh, there was just one thing that I was a little disgusted with."

"What?" Chi Zhouxu asked.

"He came up and put the keys to his Porsche on the table." Very ostentatious.

"He wouldn't deliberately trick you, would he? This is a common tactic used by many scumbags these days, specifically to deal with vain women."

"I don't know," Zhou Mo frowned. "I felt at the time that he was not a pragmatic person."

"Senior Sister..." Tang Jiahui on the side suddenly stopped talking.

"Um?"

Tang Jiahui looked at Zhou Mo hesitantly, not knowing whether to speak.

Zhou Mo urged: "Just say what you want to say."

Tang Jiahui glanced at Chi Zhouxu and said, "I heard from others in the academy that you only look for rich people when you're looking for a partner, and you don't like poor people."

"..." Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows: "Who is gossiping about me again?"

Tang Jiahui lowered her head in shame and did not dare to answer.

Zhou Mo knew from her reaction that she must know the person who spread the gossip, "Is it the group from the West Building?"

The West Building refers to a building to the west of the School of Health Management. That building used to be the department where Zhou Mo studied for his postgraduate studies.

Tang Jiahui nodded.

Zhou Mo gritted his teeth secretly, it was all Ren Huaibo's fault.

He just left and Zhou Mo didn't say anything, just thought he was absconding from the crime.

Unexpectedly, before leaving, Ren Huaibo turned around and said that Zhou Mo was arrogant and looked down on him as a foreigner. He also said that Zhou Mo originally wanted to find a rich man with local household registration.

At that time, Zhou Mo worked as an assistant in the Graduate Management Office. Almost all the graduate students in the school knew her. When Ren Huaibo threw dirty water on her, the response was enthusiastic.

Zhou Mo was immediately labeled as "materialistic", "vain" and "regionally discriminatory".

Zhou Mo felt bitter. She had offended no one and ended up in such trouble.

Tang Jiahui asked, "Senior Sister, do you have any conflicts with those people in the West Building?"

"It's not a big holiday," was the only thing Zhou Mo could think of.

"I had a junior who was in poor health and had a congenital heart disease. Her advisor was pushing her so hard that she had to run around everywhere, and she ended up being hospitalized. At the time, I was working as an assistant in the graduate office, and the faculty took this matter very seriously. The leadership wanted to help her raise funds for medical treatment. One teacher said they needed to discuss this with the junior, lest they reject the offer and potentially damage her self-esteem. The leadership saw this as a good opportunity for publicity, and regardless of what the junior might think, they asked me to send out a notice and organize donations."

Zhou Mo was just an assistant, not even a formal employee. She had to do this job as she was working part-time to earn money for her studies, but she felt that raising funds directly was inappropriate. She happened to have the WeChat account of her junior schoolmate, so she secretly told her about this.

But the schoolgirl was still unconscious, so she naturally didn't reply to her.

As soon as the notice was sent out, there was an uproar, and it happened to be during the award and excellence evaluation period.
