After leaving the Xu family mansion, Yue Lanxing went straight to a noodle stall next to the martial arts school.
"What brings you here, sir?" The waiter saw someone sitting at the table by the door and immediately went up to greet him. "Oh, Brother Yue, what brings you here? Shouldn't you be at the Xu family's house at this hour?"
"Wood, have a bowl of shredded pork noodles first. I have something to tell you." Yue Lanxing hadn't eaten enough at noon, so she wanted to have something to eat.
"Okay, I'll go get it for you right away." Zhao Mutou headed to the kitchen and soon brought out a bowl of noodles. "Eat up, I rinsed it with cold water and added scallions and meat."
Yue Lanxing ate a few bites of noodles, then took out Zhang Pei's business card from his pocket. "You're well-connected in this area. This person is the deputy editor of Tomorrow Daily. Can you help me look him up? It would be best if you could find out what articles he's written."
Zhao Mutou took the business card. "Hey, Brother Yue, don't worry, leave this to me. I happen to know a few thugs at the newspaper." Yue Lanxing had complete confidence in Zhao Mutou's abilities. "Thugs? Newspapers have those things too?"
"Sigh, in some places that reporters can't go to, they send their underlings to take pictures. And some of these underlings take the pictures first and then ask the newspaper for money. It's a kind of exchange."
Yue Lanxing nodded. "Okay, ask him again how the positions are assigned in the newspaper. For example, what is his position and what rights does he have as an associate editor?"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of everything for you. A few days ago, the orphanage sent me a message saying they're going to hold some kind of event in about a month and a half, and they'll be inviting some people. They asked me to ask you about it." Zhao Mutou put away the business card and turned to talk about other things.
"Why did you invite me?" Yue Lanxing asked, eating her noodles without even looking up.
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Zhao Mutou felt a pang of sadness. "You return things to the children every year and donate money, but you always make me go. You should at least go once so that the children and the director know who is really donating to them behind the scenes."
Yue Lanxing still didn't react. "I don't like going to crowded places. The thought is what counts. Besides, isn't it a good thing to let you go? Aren't you talking to the educators inside?"
"Speaking of which, I really have to thank you. The girl initially thought I was the one who gave her all those things, and that's why she talked to me. She thought I was very kind." Zhao Mutou was happy just thinking about Yue Lanxing mentioning his girlfriend.
Upon hearing this, Yue Lanxing raised her head. "And then what happened? If you let me go there, wouldn't that mean she already knows you're not me?"
Zhao Mutou gave himself a thumbs up. "Because of that, I explained to her the third time she misunderstood, and she said I was honest. Besides, I didn't donate money, but I did a lot of work. Those young girls couldn't do any of the heavy or tiring work."
"Hey Yue, when are you going to find someone? Even if you're not getting married now, you should at least start dating someone and get to know them." Zhao Mutou was happy thinking about his girlfriend, but he hadn't forgotten about Yue Lanxing's marriage.
When Yue Lanxing thought of the word "girlfriend," the first image that popped into his mind was that of a rich young lady. He blinked and suppressed the thought; it's best not to think about things that are impossible.
