Chapter 125 Even Ten Clever Ideas Aren't Enough (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets 10/10)

The study was closed, and the chubby boy was nestled in the computer chair, watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf with great interest.

The living room was brightly lit. Shan Wangshu leaned against the sofa, looking slightly strange. Wang Qizhi, holding his phone, paced around the living room like a donkey pushing a millstone.

Round and round, round and round.

"Second sister, the documents are all in order, why is it not acceptable?"

"Isn't the technology unique enough? Isn't it endangered enough? Aren't the application materials comprehensive enough?"

"What? Not enough time? It's best not to skip levels? Wait... who made that rule?"

Wang Qizhi gritted his teeth: "Second sister, don't blame me for not reminding you: the successor of the project applicant is your daughter's boyfriend..."

"What? Impossible? You can ask Wang Shu if you don't believe me..."

Dan Wangshu's eyes lit up, and she was about to answer the phone when a cold laugh came from the receiver: "Rules are rules. Don't even mention the girl's boyfriend, not even the girl's father!"

The phone was hung up with a "beep" as soon as I finished speaking.

Wang Qizhi stared blankly at his wife.

Shan Wangshu pouted: "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you know what kind of person your sister is?"

If I could help, I definitely would. The reason I didn't help is simply because I couldn't...

Wang Qizhi certainly knew.

But what if? Whether there's a chance or not, let's take a shot first...

He scoffed, "Did I pat Lin Sicheng on the chest?"

"What did Lin Sicheng say?"

"He said he's not in a hurry, he's only twenty, he can take his time... Besides, making things too easy isn't necessarily a good thing!"

"Heh, Wang Qizhi, where's your usual cleverness and political awareness?"

Shan Wangshu paused for a moment, then scoffed, "You're not as insightful as Lin Sicheng: even a donkey knows to add some beans before it will pull the millstone... Let me ask you this: you easily get him to the Great Hall of the People, get him a certificate, shake hands with the leaders, and then what?"

"National-level honors aren't enough?"

"Nonsense, he's still a student. Why would he want such a big honor? Where would he put his effort?"

Wang Qizhi naturally knew what Shan Wangshu meant by that chuckle: You have to let the leaders know how hard you work, how much effort you put in, and how hard this honor was to come about, so that the honor will be truly valuable!

She herself achieved everything in one fell swoop, without any regard for Lin Sicheng's hard work and effort... That's what Shan Wangshu meant.

Just like that backflow teapot at the cultural relics company, why did Wang Qizhi keep it hidden, not even letting the school know? Because no matter what kind of honor it is, it must be at the most appropriate stage to unleash its greatest potential.

Did he not realize it this time? No, he did realize it.

Wang Qizhi didn't see any conflict in this: hard work and effort should naturally be shown, and everyone who should see it must see it.

But we can't let Lin Sicheng really suffer, otherwise what's the point of having him as a teacher?

However, he was thinking about too many things at the moment and did not realize that Lin Sicheng could also think so far ahead.

Wang Qizhi sighed: "No one taught him these things, how could he know them?"

"His dad is a leader, after all!"

Section chief level?

Wang Qizhi didn't say anything, but just thought to himself: I have to say, this person is definitely an extraordinary person... To be able to give birth to a son like Lin Sicheng and raise him to be like this, he can definitely be considered an extraordinary person.

I must find an opportunity to pay him a visit.

With that thought in mind, he picked up his phone and went into the bedroom.

Shan Wangshu glanced at it: "Who are you looking for this time?"

"Of course I'll find my father, my father-in-law... I just don't believe it!"

Wang Qizhi muttered something under his breath and closed the bedroom door.

Shan Wangshu pursed her lips: Second Sister is just being stubborn. If she really could help, she definitely would.

Therefore, there is only one possibility: Wang Qizhi's idea is simply not feasible.

He won't listen to reason, so let him suffer as he pleases.

Shan Wangshu checked her watch again, thinking that Ye Anning should be back soon, when she heard the sound of a lock being opened at the door.

Immediately afterward, Ye Anning entered the room, changing her shoes while looking around the living room: "Auntie, where's my uncle?"

Seeing the phone still lit up in her hand, Shan Wangshu chuckled, "Did your mom call?"

"Yes, my mom beats me first, then my dad, like they're interrogating a thief... Is my uncle complaining that I'm living too comfortably?"

"Your uncle was driven to desperation by your mother!" Shan Wangshu laughed, then patted the sofa. "He ate with Lin Sicheng?"

Ye Anning sat down and nodded: "Right at the school gate, tsk, that spicy fish place is pretty good?"

"Eat, eat, all you ever do is eat..." Shan Wangshu said with exasperation, "When you got downstairs, did he invite you up for a chat?"

Ye Anning looked at her strangely: "Auntie, don't you think this is very presumptuous?"

Who dares to be presumptuous?

"Me!"

"Ha ha……"

Dan Wangshu chuckled but didn't speak, though he immediately understood: he felt it was right to be presumptuous.

In normal circumstances, even if the relationship is very ordinary, anyone would be polite out of courtesy.

But Lin Sicheng didn't even mention it?

Haha... I knew that kid was so smart, how could he not have sensed it after all this time?

Ye Anning, you're so silly all day, and you even called him a straight man... You're usually pretty smart, aren't you?

Shan Wangshu kept smiling for a while, then rolled her eyes and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, your uncle is going to the capital, and I'm going too..."

"Didn't you say you weren't going?"

"But the plan has changed!"

Dan Wangshu replied with a smile, and then called out again, "Youjian, Youjian?"

The chubby boy came running out, and Shan Wangshu patted his head: "Tomorrow, your dad and I are going to the capital. If you feel bored, or if your sister bullies you, just go find your senior brother!"

The chubby boy's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

Ye Anning was taken aback: You're being too obvious about this on purpose?

Dan Wangshu glared at her, then took out her phone and quickly sent a text message:

Sicheng, your teacher and I are going to Beijing tomorrow. Our flight is in the afternoon, and it might take two or three days. You don't need to come see us off or pick us up. But Anning and Youjian will be at home; one's lazy, and the other's young, so keep an eye on them and make sure they don't starve!

The reply came almost instantly: Okay, Master's wife!

Ye Anning showed a hint of disgust: "My uncle asked me to watch over him, and you asked Lin Sicheng to watch over me. You two are putting on this act, Lin Sicheng isn't stupid, is he?"

Shan Wangshu smiled without saying a word: How could Lin Sicheng be stupid?

At most, there are some concerns.

But don't worry, time will tell.

...

The warm sunlight, like a thin veil, gently covered the windowsill.

A breeze blew in through the kitchen window, carrying a faint fishy smell.

Lin Mingzhi gently scraped off the scales, while Jiang Yanwan slowly sliced ​​the meat; both movements were very gentle.

In the other small bedroom, Lin Sicheng was still fast asleep.

Suddenly, "ding-ling-ling-ling..."

Jiang Yanwan held the knife, her face full of anger.

Lin Mingzhi looked bewildered: "Why are you looking at me? My phone was on silent a long time ago?"

"That couldn't possibly be mine, could it? Wait, it looks like Lin Sicheng's... Why was it thrown into the restaurant?"

Jiang Yanwan put down the knife, pushed open the slide door and glanced inside: "Cousin Ye... Where did Lin Sicheng get a cousin with the surname Ye?"

Lin Mingzhi paused for a moment: "Is it that one who's five levels higher?"

Jiang Yanwan's eyes lit up, and she glared at him again: "Such a pretty girl, stop giving her nicknames?"

Just as she was about to call Lin Sicheng, Lin Sicheng rubbed his eyes and left the bedroom.

Jiang Yanwan smiled, pursed her lips, went into the kitchen, and closed the door behind her.

Lin Sicheng twitched the corner of his mouth and answered the phone casually, but it was Wang Youjian: "Senior brother, my sister won't cook for me..."

Before he could finish speaking, a series of hurried footsteps came through the phone, like one person chasing and the other running: "Wang Youjian, if you dare to talk nonsense, I'll beat you to death..."

"Come on, you hit it..."

Then, with a "thump," it sounded like the door had slammed shut. The chubby boy, panting, said, "It's almost eleven o'clock and she still hasn't gotten up. I told her I was hungry, and she told me to eat instant noodles... but I've already eaten instant noodles three times..."

Lin Sicheng was taken aback: it was almost eleven o'clock, and he still hadn't gotten up...

He scratched his head: "When I called yesterday, your sister said she ate three-delicacy noodles?"

"Senior, guess what? Is there the word 'convenient' in the middle of the three-delicacy noodles?"

Lin Sicheng laughed heartily: "The little fat guy is quite humorous."

"Knock knock knock~" The door was knocked a few times, and then Ye Anning roared, "Wang Youjian, you're dead..."

Even through the phone, even through the door, Lin Sicheng could still feel Ye Anning's anger.

He seems really desperate, but he's usually so calm?

Lin Sicheng chuckled: "Youjian, watch out, your sister might beat you up!"

"Don't worry, she can't catch me... Senior brother, come pick me up, let's go to the temple fair, I'll treat you to something delicious... Don't bring my sister!"

Lin Sicheng laughed heartily: "Okay, I'll come pick you up!"

Knowing they had hung up, Ye Anning gritted her teeth: Oh no, this is so embarrassing…

"Wang Youjian, I'll kill you..."

The chubby boy kicked at the door, not intimidated at all, "Sis, I'm helping you!"

"You don't know anything..."

"Okay, you dare say you didn't feed me three meals of instant noodles?"

Ye Anning was speechless.

After finally getting a long vacation, shouldn't I sleep in until I'm completely exhausted first?

"Fine, Wang Youjian, you just wait..."

Then there was a series of "thump thump thump" sounds, and it seemed like someone went to the kitchen.

The chubby boy opened the door a crack, slid his phone out first, and then took the opportunity to peek: Huh, is Ye Anning destroying evidence?

Tch, the whole house smells like instant noodles...

Ha, you even turned on the range hood?

Huh, what is she doing opening the refrigerator?

After glancing at it a few times, the chubby boy paused for a moment, then his heart skipped a beat: "Sis, your phone!"

Ye Anning glanced at the phone on the living room floor and scoffed: "I'll show your senior brother if you're eating instant noodles."

Ye Anning tossed the meat and vegetables onto the cutting board, then quickly tied her hair up with a hair tie in her mouth.

Then, "tap tap tap tap tap..."

The knife was cutting so fast that the little fat boy's eyelids twitched.

Before, asking her to cook a meal was like asking her to die. But now, just because Senior Brother Lin is coming?

So, how much perseverance and spirit does that require?

After hesitating for a while, he rolled his eyes and went to the kitchen hesitantly, saying, "Sister, let me help you..."

"Heh...no need!" Ye Anning sneered. "Wang Youjian, I'll settle accounts with you later!"

...

After washing up and changing his clothes, Lin Sicheng was cornered by his mother and given a long interrogation. It took almost an hour for him to arrive.

After the door opened, Lin Sicheng was suspicious: Ye Anning was wearing an apron, her hands were still covered in flour, and there were a few strands of flour on her hair.

The key thing is, it smells so good?

Ye Anning smiled and said, "The food is ready, let's eat first and then go!"

Lin Sicheng nodded, but when he arrived at the restaurant, he was stunned for a moment: Wang Youjian was holding a plate of dumplings and eating them with relish.

Ye Anning handed him chopsticks, which he took and placed on Wang Youjian's plate.

Wow, lamb and chive filling! And the best part is, it tastes really good?

The dough was store-bought, but the filling was definitely freshly chopped.

Lin Sicheng picked up another one, and Ye Anning smiled and went into the kitchen.

The chubby boy paused, then looked up, his expression both sincere and innocent. His voice was incredibly low: "Senior, I really did eat three meals of instant noodles, do you believe me?"

Lin Sicheng smiled without saying a word: Junior brother, do you know how powerful this is?

Even if you were ten times more cunning, you still wouldn't be able to outmaneuver your sister...

Ye Anning brought over two more large plates, and Lin Sicheng didn't stand on ceremony. He went to the kitchen to get some dipping sauce, made some sauce, and then sat down to eat.

In the blink of an eye, the two plates of dumplings were empty. Ye Anning ate a few, but her eyes were full of smiles.

She served Lin Sicheng another bowl of soup: "Where are we going later?"

"Let's go to Dongwang Temple. The Folk Museum is holding a cultural expo there!"

"Is it the tea set?"

“Yes!” Lin Sicheng nodded. “My grandfather is the consultant; he does the appraisal there!”

Ye Anning paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Okay!"
