After returning home, Zheng Xinyue briefly told Zhou Muchi about the matter, and Zhou Muchi nodded.
"Thank you for your help."
"Why be so polite? I'm just making a phone call for you."
Zheng Xinyue said this, but in fact she couldn't wait to set off for Qiao City.
On the other side, the director of the research institute hung up the phone, and his two beards flew up with joy.
"That's great! Xiao Zhou finally figured it out. With him, our current research project will progress much faster. Hurry up and get ready. We'll drive over to pick him up in person!"
Seeing the dean so happy, the director was also excited. They are under a lot of pressure now. Since the project was handed over to them, there has been no breakthrough for a long time, and the superiors are also urging them to complete it. Now that Xiao Zhou can come back, it has solved their urgent needs.
Without saying anything, he immediately contacted a car.
This matter was soon known to the Zhou family because their youngest daughter, Zhou Jiayi, also worked at the research institute as an accountant.
When I learned that my second brother was going to resume his job, I told my parents about it as soon as I got off work.
When her parents were so determined to send her second brother back to the countryside, she cried and made a fuss, thinking that they were too cruel.
But she was ultimately powerless, and her second brother privately appeased her, saying that he wanted to return to his roots. But couldn't she understand in her heart that her second brother couldn't bear to leave them?
I thought my second brother might never recover from his life in the countryside, but I didn't expect him to come back to work so soon.
Zhou Junwei had a smile on his face. Since he came to Qiao City, his biological parents have doted on him in every way, and he has also experienced a wealthy life that he has never felt before.
He was grateful for this and tried his best to please everyone in the family.
However, his elder brother and younger sister were very unfamiliar with him. Although they seemed to be okay on the surface, he knew that these two were still thinking about the faker who stole his life.
Now that he heard that Zhou Muchi was coming back to work, alarm bells started ringing in his heart.
"Jiayi, who told you this?"
Father Zhou frowned, obviously a little bit incredulous.
"According to our leader, the dean and his team will probably send someone to pick us up in the next two days."
Hearing such a grand statement, Zhou's father felt complicated.
Zhou Junwei was afraid his parents would think about Zhou Muchi's excellence again, so he couldn't help but say, "Dad, Mom, it's good that Muchi can come back to work. That way we can see each other more often. It's all thanks to you guys who raised him well. He's so outstanding. If only I had worked harder, I wouldn't be preparing for the college entrance exam right now."
He said this to praise Zhou's father and mother and to show his magnanimity. In fact, he was hinting that his conditions in the countryside were difficult before. If he could stay with them since childhood, he would be much better than Zhou Muchi now.
Xu Hui was still a little hesitant, wondering whether they should have dinner together after Zhou Muchi came back. Now, when she heard her own son say this, she immediately reacted.
"Junwei, don't say that. You're even better than we thought. You'll definitely pass this year's college entrance exam. If you could achieve such a high score back in the countryside, how could you do so poorly now? Now that life is back on track, don't worry. Your father and I only have you as our biological son."
Xu Hui quickly made her position clear. Zhou Junwei was satisfied after hearing this, but he still had to look embarrassed.
"Mom, you don't have to be like this. I really don't care. You and Dad are happy, and that's what matters most to me."
This performance was naturally recognized by Zhou's father and mother, but Zhou Jiayi on the side looked disgusted.
Although this person has behaved perfectly and been very kind to her since he came back, she just can't like him. She always feels that his smile is hypocritical and there is calculation in his eyes.
"If you don't want to eat, I'll eat. You don't recognize me as your second brother. But I still do. Then we can each take care of our own business!"
Zhou Jiayi found it difficult to swallow her food, so she threw down her chopsticks and left.
Xu Hui couldn't help but laugh dryly when she saw her little daughter was so disrespectful.
"Junwei, don't take it to heart. She's still young and likes to act on impulse."
"Don't worry, Mom, I understand."
Looking at their sensible son, Zhou's father and mother couldn't help but nod secretly.
Their thoughts at this time were very simple. Zhou Muchi had been depressed ever since the incident. Even if he returned to work at the research institute, it was still unclear whether he could be competent.
If I fail to complete the work and am fired by the institute, it would be a huge shame.
Thinking of this, I felt relieved. The most urgent thing was to raise my own son.
As for the fake one, I have done my best by raising him and allowing him to live a wealthy life for more than 20 years.
Zhou Muchi didn't expect to receive a reply from the institute so quickly. The director called and said that the position had been reserved for him and he would drive over to pick him up today, and asked him to pack up the things he needed to take away quickly.
When Wang Qiao'e heard the news, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
The family already had a prospective college student, and everyone in the village envied them and thought she had given birth to a good son.
Now that the good son has run away and a disabled man has come, everyone is saying all kinds of things. They all say that the Zhou family is not destined to have such a fate, and that they are born to be peasants. How could they have a son who becomes the top scholar?
Because of this incident, the old couple can't even hold their heads up when they go out to work.
It's different now. Someone from the Qiaoshi Research Institute is driving over to pick someone up. What an honor that is! It means his son is a talent, and he must be a talent among talents to be valued like this.
So the old couple went out with their heads held high and told their neighbors about this. Everyone was amazed when they heard it. They had thought that the Zhou family would never be able to recover, but they didn't expect that their disabled son was so capable. He couldn't even walk, but he could still work in such a unit.
"My son is very capable, earning over 4,000 yuan a month. As soon as the research institute heard he was going back to work, they immediately sent a car to pick him up. He'll probably be there this afternoon. As a mother, I'm reluctant to let him go, but there's nothing I can do."
Everyone felt sour after hearing this, and Zheng Xinyue's parents, who happened to be passing by, also heard what was said and hurried forward.
"What are you talking about, my dear? Your second son is going back to the city to work? Does that mean my daughter has to go with him?"
At first, Wang Qiao'e had to smile when talking to them, but now it is different. Although her son is disabled, he can earn so much money every month. Many people are willing to follow her if this condition is put forward.
It wasn't particularly aggrieved for Zheng Xinyue now. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but straighten her back when she spoke.
"Of course they have to go up together. How can a husband and wife be separated?"
Zheng Dabiao couldn't help but smile. He had thought that his daughter would be a burden after she got married, and they were ready to cut off ties with her, fearing that Zheng Xinyue would come back to ask for money.
