Chapter 58 A Smile Hides a Dagger, A Petty Person Gains Power...



Shiyue was about to step forward immediately!

But Shen Yuanbai grabbed him.

Shen Yuanbai pulled Shiyue behind him and pushed his daughter aside, who was blocking his way. He said to the man indifferently, "I understand. It will be available tonight. Is there anything else, Director Feng?"

The man surnamed Feng immediately looked somewhat sullen.

No matter how many thoughts he had in mind, the old dean's influence still lingered.

He could smile veiledly at Shen Ningning, but he still had some reservations about Shen Yuanbai.

He immediately said, "That's good, that's good."

Without saying a word of politeness, he turned and left.

Watching him walk out of the courtyard gate, Shen Ningning plopped down next to him in a huff and complained to her father, "Dad, you shouldn't have stopped me! I've been putting up with Yang Jianye for a long time now. He's just a smug little man. What can he do to me?"

Shen Yuanbai ignored his daughter, but looked at Shiyue and smiled, his tone even carrying a hint of teasing.

He said, "Shiyue, you've come at just the right time, just in time to help your uncle with the work. I was thinking of letting you rest first, but it seems there's no way you can rest now. Come on, let's work together! Unity is strength, let's work together and try to move all those books back before dark!"

"Before dark? Even the three of us can't finish moving it before dawn!" Shen Ningning's tone was filled with deep exhaustion.

In order to get a day off, she worked non-stop for several days, and during those days she didn't sleep for more than three hours in a row.

She was almost exhausted, but she didn't expect that she would have to move books when she got home!

Thinking about her father's room full of books, Shen Ningning felt utterly hopeless.

"Go to the school factory and find Lao Xiao. See if you can borrow their tricycle. Let's hurry up and finish as soon as possible."

Seeing his daughter's exhaustion, Shen Yuanbai felt guilty. But what could he do now that things had come to this?

He could only give the order.

Shen Ningning went to find the car, while Shen Yuanbai took the keys and went to the small warehouse with Shiyue.

Shen Yuanbai's book storage was located at the very back of the first floor of the office building.

This was probably designed as an office before, but because the room is located at the very back and in the darkest part of the building, with small windows and a dark interior, it couldn't be used as an office.

Because it was cloudy and snowing heavily today, when I opened the door, the room was so dark that I couldn't see anyone across from me.

I don't know why they're in such a hurry to vacate this house.

If you said this wasn't specifically targeted at Uncle Shen, nobody would believe you!

Yang Jianye.

Yang Jianye.

Shiyue silently repeated the name twice in her heart.

Although Uncle Shen stopped Ningning's actions and deliberately didn't mention this person again, Shiyue still noticed.

Yang Jianye, Yang Tingting —

They are clearly a father and daughter.

It seems that Yang Jianye is Sun Chengcai's new father-in-law.

If that's the case, then his targeting of Uncle Shen is probably related to himself.

Thinking of this, Shiyue felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.

Pingjiang University had already been electrified by this time.

This little warehouse has a lot of bad points, but one good thing is that there are electric lights in it.

When Shen Yuanbai turned on the light, Shiyue was absolutely stunned!

She also fully understood why Sister Ningning said that even if the three of them moved until dawn, they still wouldn't be able to finish moving everything!

The room is about 20 square meters, not very big.

But from the inside out, from the four walls all the way to the middle of the room, there were more than twenty large cardboard boxes, and there were still some left!

All those cardboard boxes were identical military-grade boxes. I don't know what they were used to hold before, but they were all huge!

Each one is almost as tall and large as Shiyue's dining table.

This cardboard box was clearly something Uncle Shen had gone through a lot of trouble to find, which is enough to prove that everything inside was his most treasured possession.

One or two of these cardboard boxes might not seem like much, but when more than twenty are placed together, the sheer scale is quite intimidating; it's practically overwhelming.

Anyway, they filled this small warehouse to the brim.

Shiyue stood at the door, so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

After a long pause, he finally managed to say, "Uncle, are all of these yours? How are we going to move so many?"

Shen Yuanbai was clearly also troubled by this matter.

Somewhat helplessly, he put the bundle of hemp rope he had brought aside and said, "I'll go borrow a ladder. We can stand on the ladder and take it down, tie it with the rope, and then carry it back."

Upon hearing this, Shiyue felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

So many... Just moving the boxes alone would require more than twenty trips.

We need to take the books out of the box, tie them up, and transport them back by car.

Let alone one night, even if the three of them didn't eat or drink for a whole day and night, they still wouldn't be able to finish!

However, with the physical strength of the three of them, they couldn't even move the boxes.

Shiyue originally came here with the idea of ​​persuading Uncle Shen to get rid of all his books.

But looking at the scene before him, he swallowed back all the words he had prepared.

She knew that the words she was about to say would tear people's hearts out!

No, I doubt Uncle Shen would rather have his heart ripped out than agree to her suggestion.

Thinking about this, Shiyue felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

She sighed silently.

After staring at the boxes for a long time, Shiyue could only resign herself to her fate, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Uncle, where can we borrow a ladder? I'll go, you keep an eye on things and start packing."

Fortunately, just as the two were discussing it, Shen Ningning returned.
