Gu Qingcheng raised his eyebrows: "Do you know him?"

Lu Shiyan said "hmm" softly: "Old friend."

Gu Qingcheng was delighted. She thought that all her previous efforts to get to know him were a waste of time.

Just as she was about to say something, Lu Shiyan hugged her from behind and turned her to the side.

Jiang Heze and the chairman walked over one after the other.

They greeted Lu Shiyan: “Shiyan!”

Lu Shiyan nodded slightly.

"Expert Jiang, Expert Li."

The chairman’s surname is Li, and his given name is Hai.

Jiang Heze laughed: "You kid, you stole my award-giving spot, you have to treat me to a meal next time."

Gu Qingcheng's mouth twitched. The case was solved. It turned out that Lu Shiyan had stolen it.

Lu Shiyan quickly agreed: "My husband and I will treat you to a meal together in a while."

While speaking, he did not forget to pull Gu Qingcheng along.

Full of dog food.

Gu Qingcheng stared at Jiang Heze. She was not looking at him as a person, she was looking at him as gold!

This made Jiang Heze quite embarrassed.

"Student Gu, is there something on my face?"

"No, no, sorry." Gu Qingcheng realized that he was being abrupt. "I've heard of your name for a long time. Today I finally get to see you in person. I'm a little excited."

Lu Shiyan said sourly, "If my wife hadn't known that you were the one presenting the award, she wouldn't have participated in that math competition. She just heard that I took your spot and she made a fuss about it."

Jiang Heze laughed loudly: "Then I am really honored. However, seeing Qingcheng's performance today, it is true that the younger generation pushes the older generation forward. His future achievements will definitely be better than mine!"

The three people were chatting with each other, and the chairman on one side felt embarrassed.

They were chatting so enthusiastically that they forgot about themselves.

The chairman coughed twice and shamelessly joined the conversation.

"Student Gu, what do you think about the matter I told you before?"

The topic turned to Gu Qingcheng.

The chairman in front of us is not only the chairman of the mathematics competition, but also the leader of the college entrance examination question setting group.

He enjoys a pivotal position in the domestic mathematics community.

That's who he was, the one who came to Gu Qingcheng's house to ask her to participate in the research.

Gu Qingcheng was in a dilemma: "You said before that I am the host of this project. If I don't participate, wouldn't that be perjury?"

“Hahahaha!” The committee chairman laughed. “That’s good as long as you agree.”

Then he had to thank those troublemakers. If these troublemakers hadn't caused trouble, he would have had no chance to stand up for classmate Gu.

The chairman was in a good mood and looked at the time.

"Student Gu, that's it. We have a group meeting this Saturday. When the time comes, you can go directly to the Jiang City Mathematics Research Institute. I will introduce you to everyone."

Gu Qingcheng nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I understand. I will definitely attend on time then."

…

The mathematics competition has come to an end.

When Zhu Qiqi heard that Gu Qingcheng won first place, his physical condition was much better than before, so he was discharged from the hospital early.

If Gu Qingcheng and Lu Shiyan had not taken action at that time, Zhu Qiqi felt that she might have died.

She felt that it was natural for her to go to Gu Qingcheng's house to express her gratitude.

Gu Qingcheng always thought that this was not a big deal, but thinking that it would be nice for friends to come over to his house to play, since it wasn't far away anyway, he immediately expressed his enthusiasm to welcome them.

But before coming, she repeatedly emphasized: "You two, come to my house to play, but don't bring anything. I have everything in my house, understand?"

Zhu Qiqi responded, "Okay, okay, I won't buy anything. I'll just go to your house and eat and drink for free."

Gu Qingcheng laughed: "I promise you'll have a good meal and drink at my house!"

Although she said so, Zhu Qiqi still dragged Song Mingming to the supply and marketing cooperative the next day.

Not to mention that they were going there to express their gratitude, they also had to bring something when visiting a classmate's home for the first time.

Early the next morning, Zhu Qiqi took Song Mingming's arm and excitedly walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Mingming, what do you think we should buy from Qingcheng's house?"

Song Mingming pursed his lips and said, "Why not buy some candy? This stuff can be eaten by everyone, there is no taboo, and it can be stored."

Zhu Qiqi's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"

The supply and marketing cooperative was crowded with people, and the air was filled with the mixed smell of candies, cakes and fabrics.

A salesperson wearing a blue work suit and with neatly combed hair came over.

"Comrades, what would you like to buy?"

Zhu Qiqi pointed at the dazzling array of candies on the shelf and said, "Comrade, how much are these fruit candies?"

"This is the best Double Happiness fruit candy, 30 cents a pound, and I need a ticket."

Zhu Qiqi bit her lip. This price was not cheap.

"What about the candy?"

"White Rabbit milk candy is more expensive, 50 cents a pound, and you need a ticket."

Zhu Qiqi gritted her teeth and said, "You can't buy bad things when you go to Qingcheng's house, so as not to be looked down upon by others." She nodded.

"Okay, then I'll give you two pounds of fruit candy and one pound of milk candy."

Zhu Qiqi took out the crumpled candy ticket and money from the cloth bag and handed them to the salesperson.

The salesperson took the ticket and money, weighed the candies skillfully, wrapped them in brown paper and handed them to Zhu Qiqi.

"Here are two pounds of fruit candy and one pound of milk candy. Take them."

"Comrades, what else would you like to order?"

Zhu Qiqi thought for a moment and said, "We are visiting a friend's home. There are elderly people there, and their legs and feet may not be very convenient. Comrade, do you have any suggestions?"
