Duan Feng is back now, and Han Chen's insistence on pushing Director Gu's agenda will inevitably leave a bad impression on people.

Zhou Mo planned to analyze the pros and cons of the matter with Han Chen and let him pay more attention.

Han Chen is not an unintelligent person, he just takes her too seriously.

But what is more important in life is food, clothing, housing and transportation. Their small family still depends on Han Chen as the pillar.

Shen Qingyi will arrive in half an hour. She is coming from the college.

According to Zhao Xiaoshuang who arrived first, she originally planned to ask Shen Qingyi when he would come over.

If we can go together, I can also take Shen Qingyi's car and save the taxi fare.

However, Shen Qingyi asked them to come first, saying that she had something to deal with.

"I went to look for Director Shen, but he wasn't in the office. When I turned around, she came out of Teacher Chu's office with a very unhappy look on her face," Zhao Xiaoshuang said. "It seemed like she had an argument with Teacher Chu."

Zhou Mo's heart skipped a beat. She whispered, "Is it because of the scholarship?"

Zhao Xiaoshuang: "That should be it, otherwise what kind of dispute would Director Shen and Teacher Chu have? Have you forgotten that they used to be as close as sisters, and Director Shen brought her with him on so many projects?"

Zhou Mo was in a dilemma. Shen Qingyi had just met with her that afternoon, asking her to be more open-minded, but he went to look for Chu Xia instead...

Liu Kai asked from the side: "What should we do? Should we give the copied PPT to Director Shen?"

"No," Zhou Mo said, "Don't do this. Director Shen told me not to tell anyone about this. If you send the PPT, she might think I didn't listen to her and leaked the news. Besides, Director Shen and Teacher Chu quarreled most likely to help me gain benefits. I can't stab her in the back. If Director Shen can't solve this matter, our involvement will only cause chaos and may even add fuel to the fire. If you two know about this, pretend you don't know. Don't say a word to anyone, understand?"

"Yeah," Zhao Xiaoshuang nodded.

"I understand," Liu Kai also said.

"Today is the first group dinner since the start of the new semester," Zhou Mo said, "Everyone, be happy. Don't show any emotions or Director Shen will notice."

Zhao Xiaoshuang made an OK gesture, and Liu Kai also said "I understand."

These two people are his "trusted" junior brothers and sisters. The three of them entered school in the same year, have spent the longest time together, and have a much stronger friendship with each other than with others.

They said they would not leak the secret, and Zhou Mo believed them.

"Why hasn't Qi Yan come yet?" Zhou Mo glanced at the time. He was really afraid that this kid would be late and make Shen Qingyi unhappy again.

"On the way," Liu Kai said, "I just sent a message to ask, and they said it's hard to get a taxi on Friday."

"It's hard to get a taxi, but you still go out early," Zhou Mo was really impressed.

Seeing that half an hour was almost there, Shen Qingyi was already on the way, and they would arrive at "Zhulu Zhongyuan" in five minutes.

Including parking time, it was only ten minutes.

Zhou Mo couldn't wait any longer, "I'll go downstairs and wait for Qi Yan, you guys take a look at the menu first."

Shen Qingyi had a quarrel with Chu Xia, and he was probably in a bad mood. Qi Yan was late at this time... He really knew how to tease Shen Qingyi.

Fortunately, Qi Yan did not let her down this time.

When Zhou Mo went downstairs, there was an Audi parked in front of the entrance of "Zhulu Zhongyuan".

Qi Yan got out of the passenger seat, looked up and saw Zhou Mo, and said happily: "Senior Sister, why are you here?"

"Aren't you taking a taxi?" Zhou Mo looked at the brand new black Audi in front of him, but it didn't look like a taxi at all.

Qi Yan smiled and said, "My brother's driver brought me here."

"Come in quickly," Zhou Mo urged, but he was confused. How could a small director have a driver?

Brother Qi Yan's background is becoming more and more unbelievable.

The two were still at the door and had not entered when Shen Qingyi's car slowly drove over.

She passed the two of them and lowered her window.

"teacher."

"teacher."

Zhou Mo and Qi Yan greeted each other.

"I'll go park the car first, you guys get in," Shen Qingyi ordered.

Zhou Mo deliberately observed Shen Qingyi's expression, which seemed quite serious.

Even Qi Yan noticed Shen Qingyi's abnormality. When he went upstairs with Zhou Mo, he whispered, "Director Shen, is there something going on today? Why do you seem unhappy?"

"You discovered it too?" Zhou Mo asked.

"I'm not blind, okay."

"Just be careful if you know. Director Shen is probably in a bad mood today. Don't offend her anymore."

Qi Yan looked aggrieved: "When did I offend her?"

"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?" Zhou Mo was speechless. "The first day you came last time, Director Shen said he would treat you to a meal, but you didn't come."

"I really had something to do that day. I've been planning an appointment with that coach for a while now. Besides, we shouldn't have told you about dinner in advance."

“…”

There's no hope.

"Today, talk less and eat more," Zhou Mo advised, "You can order whatever you want to eat, but if you want to say something, it's best not to say anything."

"Oh," Qi Yan responded, not quite understanding.

Listen to the words and the sound, listen to the gong and the tone, but it is not the case with Qi Yan.

The emphasis of Zhou Mo's words was on the latter part, but when it reached Qi Yan's ears, the emphasis moved to the front.

All that's left in my mind is, anything goes.

Everyone arrived and took their seats.

Shen Qingyi asked everyone to order food.

Qi Yan didn't refuse at all, raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I'll do it."

Shen Qingyi was a little embarrassed, but still gave him the menu.

He flipped through the pre-meal pages and ordered the first few signature dishes one by one.

Generally, the signature dishes of a restaurant are the most expensive and are on the first few pages of the menu. Qi Yan really didn't care about the prices of those dishes at all. He told us to order whatever we wanted, and he really ordered whatever he wanted.

Zhou Mo held his forehead helplessly and could only see Shen Qingyi's expression through the gaps between his fingers.

I thought she would be gloomy again, but unexpectedly Shen Qingyi smiled.

And it was the kind of smile an adult would give to a naughty child, with a hint of relief.

Liu Kai sat next to Qi Yan and saw that he was only picking up the expensive items. He approached Qi Yan and whispered, "That's enough."

"Not enough," Qi Yan said, "Even though there are four of us, I can definitely eat as much as three, so we need at least seven or eight dishes."

Liu Kai: “…”

"Let him order," Shen Qingyi suddenly said, "We're out for dinner, not busy with school or work. Order whatever you want. You're just too reserved. Our group also eats in a very formal way, which is boring. You should learn from Xiao Qi's free-spirited approach. I'm a teacher, not a leader. In my eyes, you're just children. It's normal to be a little naughty and ignorant. I have a daughter myself, and I understand your situations and thoughts at your age."

Zhou Mo and others lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Qi Yan, however, looked curious and said, "Teacher, you have a daughter. I thought you were not married yet."

Zhou Mo: “…”

Zhao Xiaoshuang: “…”

Liu Kai: “…”?
