Zhou Mo was so angry that he was half dead. It took him a long time to calm down.

As expected, she couldn't get along normally with Han Chen.

Han Chen is sometimes even more hateful than Yu Yizhou.

…

Shen Qingyi called Zhou Mo and Zhao Xiaoshuang to his office to talk.

When the two arrived at the office, Shen Qingyi was busy working on the computer.

Seeing the two people coming, she said, "You sit down."

She stopped what she was doing, pulled her chair aside, and looked at the two of them from behind the computer screen.

"There's a lecture this afternoon at the First Hospital of Dongda University, and our department will have to send a teacher to attend. I also have undergraduate classes to teach this afternoon, so you two will represent me."

Zhou Mo and Zhao Xiaoshuang looked at each other in bewilderment. This was the first time they had encountered such a thing.

Shen Qingyi said, "Don't worry, it's not an important meeting. It's just a lecture on hepatitis B. Leaders from the province and city, and experts from the relevant departments of the First Hospital of Dongda University will be having a talk together. It's similar to an academic summit. Just listen in."

Zhao Xiaoshuang was slightly worried and asked, "Don't you need to go up and say anything?"

Shen Qingyi: "No, what do you want to say? Do I need you to help me sign in?"

Zhou Mo and Zhao Xiaoshuang were both stunned. It turned out that Shen Qingyi said all this just to ask them to help her sign in.

It turns out that university teachers, like college students, also have times when they just do things to get by and sign in on behalf of others.

It's really surprising.

Zhao Xiaoshuang didn't understand and asked, "You're going alone, why do you need two of us to sign you in?"

Shen Qingyi said: "Isn't there Teacher Chu next door?"

Teacher Chu is another associate professor in their major. She just obtained the admission qualification last year, but no students applied to be her graduate students, so she has no students under her.

She has a good relationship with Shen Qingyi on weekdays, and the two of them are a bit like "best friends". Teacher Chu is a nice person, and every time he comes back from a business trip, he will bring some local specialties to their group.

It just so happened that Teacher Chu and Shen Qingyi's classes were scheduled together this afternoon, and neither of them could go, so they had to ask a student to go in their place.

"Teacher, what time does the afternoon meeting start?" Zhou Mo asked.

"Let me look for the notice," Shen Qingyi opened his phone and looked through it. "I'll send it to you. You must go on time and don't be late."

Zhou Mo glanced at the notification message and asked, "Do you have Teacher Chu's work number? I saw in the meeting notice that you need to fill in your and her Dongda work numbers when signing in."

"You're still more careful," Shen Qingyi tapped his phone a few more times, "I'll ask her and send it to you later."

"Okay." Zhou Mo responded and was about to say goodbye to Shen Qingyi and leave.

Shen Qingyi called them and said, "Wait, tell Liu Kai to keep an eye on the two little ones. Otherwise, they will be left alone without you."

Zhao Xiaoshuang hesitated, "Uh... Liu Kai may not be able to come this afternoon."

Shen Qingyi's expression suddenly changed. "What's wrong with him?"

Zhao Xiaoshuang replied: "I don't know, he hasn't been here recently."

Shen Qingyi said sternly, "Call him back! He's the one who created the lazy atmosphere in the group. He's already in his second year of graduate school, doesn't he know what's most important?"

Zhao Xiaoshuang was about to say something.

Zhou Mo spoke before her, "I see. I'll talk to him. I'll ask where he is and ask him to come over."

Shen Qingyi's expression relaxed a little. "Well, you guys should talk to him properly. We are all in the same group. Someone is coming. He is not the youngest one anymore. I am also afraid that the two younger ones will think that I am biased."

"Yeah, I understand this. I'll talk to Liu Kai about it," Zhou Mo agreed repeatedly.

Shen Qingyi's expression returned to normal, "You guys go ahead."

Zhou Mo asked, "When Liu Kai arrives later, do you need to ask him to come see you?"

Shen Qingyi waved his hand, "No, I haven't finished the PPT for the lecture yet."

“…”

Cramming at the last minute again, this is indeed Shen Qingyi's usual style.

Zhou Mo and Zhao Xiaoshuang didn't want to disturb him any further, so they said goodbye and left Shen Qingyi's office.

After they took a few steps, Zhao Xiaoshuang looked at Zhou Mo with admiration, "Why does our Director Shen seem to listen to you so much?"

Zhou Mo frowned, "No?"

Zhao Xiaoshuang said, "Of course not. Look, she was almost mad at Liu Kai, but you calmed her down with just a few words."

Zhou Mo laughed, "You're missing the point. She has a lecture this afternoon and hasn't finished her PPT yet. She's already anxious, and any small misdeed by Liu Kai would anger her. Plus, the two younger sisters' recent behavior has really disappointed her. As a senior brother, Liu Kai still doesn't consciously come every day and needs her to remind him. She must be even more angry."

Zhao Xiaoshuang silently gave Zhou Mo a thumbs up.

Zhou Mo added, "What's worrying right now is her PPT and the sign-in for the afternoon meeting. Liu Kai is a later issue. I'm here to remind him now. She'll naturally feel that there's a solution to Liu Kai's problem."

"Great!" Zhao Xiaoshuang exclaimed.

Zhou Mo said: "Many times, people's emotions are more valuable than the facts themselves."

Zhao Xiaoshuang showed admiration, "That's right! How do you know so much?"

Zhou Mo said, "Read more books."

Zhao Xiaoshuang was shocked. "Isn't this from the paper?"

Zhou Mo said, "Many social science articles are worth reading. The more you know, the clearer you can see the world. After all, you're a PhD student now. You can't just stick to your own little area and get stuck in a rut. You need a broader perspective to analyze and solve problems more comprehensively."

Zhao Xiaoshuang was completely impressed. She murmured softly, "How come you live such a clear life, but your love life is so bumpy?"

Zhou Mo: “…”

Zhao Xiaoshuang saw Zhou Mo's face suddenly turn dark and thought to herself that something was wrong.

The best strategy is to run away. "I'm going to read the literature."

Zhou Mo: "Zhao Xiaoshuang, stop right there!"

However, Zhao Xiaoshuang had already disappeared.

Zhou Mo shook her head helplessly. She had not forgotten Shen Qingyi's instructions.

She didn't go back to the office, but called Liu Kai in the corridor.

On the other end, Liu Kai's voice was lazy, "Hey, Sister Mo, what's wrong?"

Zhou Mo said in a serious tone, "Come to the courtyard this afternoon. Don't be so lazy in the future. Director Shen is angry."

Liu Kai paused for a moment, "No, didn't she promise me that I don't have to go as long as I finish my work?"

Zhou Mo said, "That was in the past. Before the two younger sisters came, you and Xiao Shuang were the youngest, and everyone tolerated you. Now that the younger sisters are here, and you, as a senior brother, often don't come, what will they think? They'll think our group has no rules."

Liu Kai was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Mo added earnestly, "You are now in your second year of graduate school. This is the most critical time for your research project. Put your part-time job aside for now and take care of your school affairs."

"I understand," Liu Kai said in a muffled voice.

Zhou Mo heard the disappointment in his tone and understood Liu Kai's difficulties. She comforted him, "If you find it difficult, you can tell me and I will find a way to help you."

"I don't want your money!" Liu Kai suddenly said firmly.

Zhou Mo was always afraid that asking to help him would hurt him, but considering the reality, he felt it was necessary to say it.

Unexpectedly, Liu Kai's reaction was even greater than she imagined.
