Seeing that neither Han Chen nor Zhou Mo had any intention of greeting each other, Shen Qingyi hurriedly urged them, "You should have met at the last meeting at the First Hospital of Dongda University. You will have many contacts in the future, so hurry up and get to know each other."

Zhao Xiaoshuang felt so uncomfortable that she almost laughed out loud, "Teacher, they already know each other."

Shen Qingyi and the people from the orthopedics department were all shocked, but the members of Shen Qingyi's research team were already used to it.

Zhou Mo felt as if a thorn was on his back and cold sweat was pouring down.

Behind her, Zhang Lanlan knew that she and Han Chen had obtained their marriage certificate...

There were so many people present, all of them were her and Han Chen's colleagues. If Zhang Lanlan was unhappy and let something slip, then the things she had tried so hard to hide until now would be exposed in a minute.

Seeing Han Chen's indifferent expression, Zhou Mo felt that he deserved a beating.

He gnashed his teeth and wanted to take her to hell with him, but she didn't want to go in so unclearly.

Fortunately, there were heavyweights on both sides, and except for Shen Qingyi and Director Gu, the others didn't speak much.

Zhou Mo had been planning to force the waiter to give her another discount, but now that the two groups were mixed in one box, she didn't need either box.

The dishes you ordered don’t even need to be served.

Zhou Mo felt a little upset. It seemed that all the hard work, including booking a room, studying the menu, and finally bargaining, was in vain.

The orthopedics department is wealthy and powerful, and has reserved the "Yutang Hall", the highest-level private room for the "Yu" generation in "Zhu Lu Zhongyuan".

Not to mention adding Shen Qingyi's research group, even two more can sit down.

Shen Qingyi and Director Gu naturally sat in the upper seats. Teacher Chu sat next to Shen Qingyi, and Zhou Mo sat next to Teacher Chu.

Han Chen sat next to Director Gu. Zhou Mo had never seen anyone sitting next to him before.

There were two empty seats next to Zhou Mo, reserved for Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui, who were in their third year of graduate school.

These two people haven't arrived yet.

Shen Qingyi urged Zhou Mo to call them and ask them to arrive as soon as possible.

Zhou Mo walked out of the private room to make a phone call.

She called Tang Jiahui first, but no one answered. She then called Chi Zhouxu, but the phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

"Hey, where are you? Come here quickly. Director Shen has guests from the orthopedics department of the First Hospital of Dongda University. It's not good to be late for too long."

Chi Zhouxu hesitated, "Right away, right away. I'll... take Jiahui with me and be there in a moment."

"You're with Jiahui?" Zhou Mo felt something was wrong. "Where's she? Why didn't she answer my call?"

"Here, next to me," Chi Zhouxu said hesitantly.

"Give her the number, I'll confirm it," Zhou Mo said worriedly.

After a while, the voice on the phone changed, "Hello, Senior Sister."

Zhou Mo heard Tang Jiahui's voice, which was trembling and choked, as if she had just cried. "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

"Well," Tang Jiahui said with tears in her eyes, "I...failed the second interview."

"The pharmaceutical company in Haicheng?"

"right."

"That position is good?" Otherwise why would she cry.

Chi Zhouxu's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Let me tell you. Senior sister, I passed the second interview, but Jiahui didn't. And then... we... fell in love... and then..."

"What?" Zhou Mo was shocked. "You..."

Zhao Xiaoshuang was right. Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui were really together. They had been classmates for three years without any news, but they started dating before graduation.

Reality is magical.

Chi Zhouxu was a little embarrassed. "Yes, we are together. We originally planned to meet each other's parents after we started working and then discuss marriage, but... it seems a bit difficult now."

"How do you say it?"

"Jiahui is on the payroll at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Dongjiang. If I sign with the Haicheng pharmaceutical company, we'll have to move to another location... Payroll is hard to come by, but the pharmaceutical company's salary is so high it's hard to keep up."

Zhou Mo understood the hardships too well.

Weaving is something that many people dream of.

There is a saying that "the end of the universe is organization", which shows its importance.

Zhou Mo's parents are a good example. They both have official positions, and Zhou Zheng's pension is more than the extra income she earns in a month.

Although it is stable, the salary within the system is low. The salary at pharmaceutical companies is much higher.

"Your difficulty right now isn't finding a job, it's choosing the right one. Your situation is already better than many others," Zhou Mo said. "The problem won't be solved overnight. Let's go to 'Zhu Lu Zhong Yuan' first. Director Shen is meeting with guests."

"Okay, right away."

Zhou Mo still finds it hard to understand why Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui are in love.

What kind of love doesn’t happen after knowing each other for three years, and it happens after only one or two months of looking for a job?

"Sister Mo."

Zhou Mo looked up and saw Liu Kai coming over.

"What's wrong? Director Shen is urging me again?"

"No, Director Shen said that we should have dessert after dinner. We need to order it in advance. I want to ask you what you want to eat?" Liu Kai took out his mobile phone. "There are ice cream cakes, Black Forest cakes, strawberry mousse... I remember you like ice cream cakes."

"I don't want to eat it, you guys can eat it," Zhou Mo said with a smile.

"Isn't this bad? Everyone has booked it, and without you, Director Shen will scold me."

"Okay, go ahead and order it," Zhou Mo didn't want to make things difficult for Liu Kai.

Zhou Mo returned to the private room, and Liu Kai went outside to order a cake.

Shen Qingyi saw Zhou Mo coming back, "When will Xiaochi and the others come?"

"I'll be there soon. I'm on my way."

"What's going on with these two kids?"

"It's okay," Zhou Mo said, not wanting to talk about Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui. "They're probably tired from looking for a job. Didn't they just come back yesterday?"

Shen Qingyi did not pursue the matter and said to Director Gu, "Serve the food. We don't have to wait for them. Everyone is hungry."

Director Gu also said, "Serve the food."

The waiter followed the order and served the dishes. After a while, the dishes came up one after another.

Shen Qingyi said a few polite words and Director Gu also complimented him a few times. The atmosphere between the two sides was very harmonious.

Alcohol is not allowed in the orthopedics department, and no one on Shen Qingyi's side knows how to drink, they are all gentle people. The meal was quite ordinary and basically boring.

Zhou Mo was very hungry after a busy day. He didn't know who ordered the dishes. There were pork elbows, sweet and sour pork belly, hot and sour pig's trotters... a lot of greasy dishes on the table.

She instantly lost her appetite and couldn't swallow a single bite.

Zhou Mo was well aware that his habits were very strange, and there were all kinds of weird rules and requirements when eating.

For example, small restaurants don't use sterilized chopsticks, only disposable ones are allowed; you can't use a straw when drinking soy milk; too much pork on the table will make you feel sick, and you won't eat duck meat, except for duck tongue...

Liu Xiangru said she had many bad habits.

Zhou Mo also felt that he was, but there was nothing he could do; he couldn't change it.

"There are not enough dishes. Order a few more," Han Chen suddenly said.

Director Gu looked at the few untouched dishes on the table and asked, "Not to your liking?"

Han Chen: "Yeah."

Director Gu: "Go ahead."

Han Chen called the waiter and ordered a few light vegetarian dishes and a plate of duck tongues.

Zhou Mo was far away from Han Chenyuan, so she didn't hear anyone ordering the dishes. When the dishes came, she suddenly froze.

Among the people present, only Han Chen knew that she liked to eat duck tongue.
