Lin Qingyu, unaware of what was going on, curiously walked to the door and pressed her ear close to the crack.

She was eavesdropping here, but she could barely hear what was going on.

I could only hear snippets of conversation, and from them I could guess that they were talking about Zhao Xiaobao going to school!

Suddenly Gu Shi's voice rose.

"I will not agree, Mr. Zhao, please leave!"

Lin Qingyu didn't hear what the person said next.

Then, with a loud "bang," the door was slammed shut.

Lin Qingyu quickly went outside. Gu Shi had never been so angry before, and she didn't know what that person had said.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry!"

As soon as Lin Qingyu entered the living room, Gu Shi had not yet recovered and remained silent with his head down.

She didn't rush Gu Shi, but pulled him to sit down and patted his back.

After a moment, Gu Shi looked at Lin Qingyu with embarrassment.

"Did I scare you? I didn't mean to!"

Now he turned around and comforted Lin Qingyu, stroking her hair reassuringly.

He then explained, "That person just now was Mr. Zhao from the Education Bureau. I had contacted him before about Xiaobao's schooling."

"He wouldn't budge at first, but now he's taking the initiative to set conditions!"

Gu Shi didn't continue speaking, but Lin Qingyu was really curious about what could have made Gu Shi so angry, so she couldn't help but ask.

"What did he say that made you so angry?"

Gu Shi glanced at Lin Qingyu, sighed, and told her anyway.

It turns out that Mr. Zhao, who had a receding hairline, had lost his wife in middle age. He had met Wu Lili at the hospital when he was sick.

He thought she looked a lot like his wife, so he kept trying to pursue her.

But how could Wu Lili possibly be interested in him, especially since Mr. Zhao could be Wu Lili's father?

After pursuing her relentlessly without success, he unexpectedly saw Lin Qingyu at the hospital.

Wu Lili took good care of her, and when she saw Gu Shi carrying someone home, she had an idea.

Without stopping, she bought the gifts and personally went to Gu Shi's house, hoping that Lin Qingyu could act as a middleman and bring the two of them together.

Gu Shi naturally disagreed. Lin Qingyu disliked Wu Lili so much, so why would she act as a middleman for her?

Lin Qingyu didn't feel anything after hearing this; she really wouldn't do it.

Putting aside her dislike for Wu Lili, Lin Qingyu could still glean some information about Mr. Zhao from Gu Shi's words, even though she had never met him.

Gu Shi wouldn't usually talk about others like that, so this person must be rather incompetent.

How could she possibly introduce someone like that to a potential partner?

Lin Qingyu said to Gu Shi, "Let me think of a way for you! Xiao Bao is so outstanding, he will definitely be able to find a school to accept him."

Gu Shi shook his head: "You should take care of yourself first. You're already sick, and you still have to worry about me!"

The two exchanged a smile, and Gu Shi got up and walked towards the kitchen.

"The food is ready, let me serve it to you!"

"I'll help too! What did you make? It smells so good!"

The two entered the kitchen, and Lin Qingyu saw the lean meat porridge that Gu Shi had cooked, which looked very tempting, and he had also stir-fried two side dishes.

"Don't eat pickled vegetables today. Have something light. You can have them later when you feel better. Be good!"

Gu Shi's doting tone made Lin Qingyu feel a little embarrassed.

He always treats Lin Qingyu like a child, so it's no wonder that Lin Qingyu is becoming more and more like a child.

After eating, Lin Qingyu broke out in a sweat again, and her fever had completely subsided.

Gu Shi brewed Chinese medicine for her, and she sat in the living room watching the small television.

This is something Gu Shi just bought a while ago.

Lin Qingyu said that no one was often home, so it didn't matter whether she bought it or not, while Gu Shi simply arranged for a television to be brought into the house.

These days, not every household can afford a television.

As the music played on the television, Gu Shi brought in a bowl of dark, unappetizing Chinese medicine for Lin Qingyu.

"Take your medicine first, and I'll get you some candy."

Lin Qingyu also dislikes bitterness; she gets a headache whenever she sees Chinese or Western medicine.

There was no other way; when you're sick, you can only hold your nose and force it down your throat in one gulp.

"Drink slowly, don't you even taste if it's too hot!"

Gu Shi held two White Rabbit candies in his hand, smiling as he looked at Lin Qingyu, whose eyebrows were furrowed in worry.

Lin Qingyu thought to herself that the things Gu Shi handed her would not be cold or hot; the temperature would definitely be just right.

Moreover, she cannot drink water that is too hot. What Gu Shi considers a perfect temperature, she finds too hot.

Therefore, Gu Shi would indulge her in this regard, truly spoiling her like a child.

After drinking the medicine in one gulp, Lin Qingyu handed the bowl to Gu Shi, panting heavily as if she could avoid the smell of the Chinese medicine by not breathing through her nose.

While eating a milk candy, Lin Qingyu couldn't help but think of something.

Mingming usually likes the smell of the Chinese medicine that Zhao Xiaobao prepares, but she can't stand it when the medicine is boiled into a decoction.

Zhao Xiaobao went to the restaurant by himself today; Gu Shi left him a note.

At this moment, the person is in the pharmacy, getting medicine for Lin Qingyu.

Gu Shi gave him a brief description of Lin Qingyu's symptoms, and after opening the restaurant, he wrote out a prescription.

This brings us to Zhao Xiaobao's talent in traditional Chinese medicine. He's only thirteen or fourteen years old, yet God seems to be feeding him every bit of goodness.

Even after he left Pear Blossom Village, he continued to read and study, and he excelled in his studies.

I don't know what kind of father would abandon such an excellent and lovely child, and even say that he would kill him.

But now everything is better. Zhao Xiaobao has a loving uncle and a kind aunt, and his life is full of hope.

Gu Shi hadn't been sitting for long when the phone rang at home.

It was about the factory; Gu Shi opened another brick factory, but these were all small factories.

The steel mills were the real money-makers, followed by the real estate projects that Gu Shi was preparing to develop.

However, opening a steel plant in the provincial capital is quite troublesome.

As for real estate, most people are taking a wait-and-see approach, and Gu Shi is also a little unsure at this point.

The main issue is that many factories now provide housing, and when college graduates graduate, they are assigned both jobs and housing.

The housing prices simply can't be raised, which is why Gu Shi is hesitant.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Shi said goodbye and went out.

Lin Qingyu was overjoyed when she heard what Gu Shi said on the phone.

Gu Shi's vision is quite good; real estate is definitely an area worth developing.

She hadn't thought of these things before.

Although Lin Qingyu had lived through one lifetime, she really didn't know much about this kind of thing.

Taking out paper and pen, Lin Qingyu wrote down a few places that she could still remember, places with very popular locations.

After comparing it with the current map, the location was confirmed.

These places, apart from the city center, are either villages or suburbs.

But a reasonable excuse is needed, otherwise why would Gu Shi take the risk?
